Email Alarms from .Mac account....not from home?

Is there any way to have the .mac account email a chosen address directly from .mac and not from my home computer. For example: I'm at work, my home computer is off, and I would like to have an alarm sent to my work address sometime during my work day. So far I can only see that it emails from the home "Mail" application.
Any ideas to get this to work?

The computer that sends the mail HAS to be turned on with an ACTIVE Internet connection. The .mac account has nothing to do with alerts. iCal is the one managing alerts using your user account address (the address specified in AddressBook under your name) and it tells Mail what to send and to whom.
Another way to achieve what you want without leaving your home computer on:
1. AT HOME: Add your work address under your user name in AddressBook.
2. AT HOME: Make sure iCal is using your work email address (when you have more than one address, arrows appear to allow you to chose).
3. HOME & WORK: Sync your computers using iSync (before leaving home and when you get at work).
4. AT WORK: you can verify in iCal if the alert has been added.
Have fun!

  • Don't know how to access my email away from home

    i don't know how to access my email away from home.
    can't find webmail or email options.

    Somehow I got it to work, a whole lot easier than i thought, kind of scary how easy... but Im not exactly sure what of several things is how I got it. Scariest thing; watching my iBook I wouldn't know that I was accessing it from the MB. It's only me doing it, but still seems so easy.
    If I have a WPA2 password protected wireless network do I have to worry that others can access it so easily? (not that I have anything interesting, it's just the general privacy paranoia)

  • Getting email away from home

    How do I get my .mac email away from home on my son's pc-based laptop? Thx.

    Go to http:mail.mac.com/yourusername and log in with your .Mac password.
    From here you should be able to read your mails.
    Next time you're back home and login with Mail, your read messages will still download (unless you've deleted them of course)

    Emails to my mac account are bouncing back with an error message saying that my IP address is not a valid IPv4 address.  How do I correct?

    Has nobody answered your question? I have this problem as well. Only one sender, to my knowledge is bouncing. Want to know how to fix it. It's my mom, so either way - my end or her end, I have to fix it.  Does anyone have any answers?
    Thanks,

  • TS3899 Since I updated my iphone, I am not receiving email on my .mac account.  What's wrong?

    Since I updated my iphone to I0S6, I am not receiving email on my .mac account.  What's wrong?

    Tim, I was speaking generally. Obviously the iOS upgrade didn't remove the ability to charge on ALL 3rd party devices, else my iH9 wouldn't charge it either.
    What I just can't understand is how an old iHome model works just fine with a new iPhone, yet a new iHome model will not. If anything, I would think it would be the other way around.
    Anyway, I emailed iHome explaining my situation and I asked if they had planned on releasing a firmware update to fix the problem. I got the typical generic response about unplugging the iHome & removing the batteries for an hour then trying again. And if that doesn't work, send it in for repair in which I would need to pay for the shipping.
    If I decide to go that route, I think it's just going to be a waste of time as I would get the iHome back "repaired" and it would have the exact same problem. But I guess I'll never know until I try.
    I remember reading on these forums about several others having the same problem. So what are the odds that the iHomes these other people got who are experiencing the same problem are problematic as well? Unless the "repair" iHome is referring to is a firmware update, I don't really buy into this.

  • Cannot receive any emails on my mac account after October 1st

    Hello Everyone,
    Any one can help me to tell me what should I do to receive emails on my mac account? After October first i cannot receive anything anymore. I want to buy an extra storage but after I go to my system setting I only see MobileMe instead of iCloud and this cannot allow me to do anything.
    I will appreciate a lot if anyone can help me and explain me what I need to do.
    Thank you

    Are you an ex-MobileMe subscriber?
    MobileMe subscribers who migrated to iCloud received complimentary extra storage up until September 30 2013. This has now expired. If you have less than 5GB data in iCloud then your storage simply reverts to 5GB.
    However if you have more than 5GB data, Backup, Documents and Mail will stop working until you either delete sufficient data to bring you within 5GB or purchase additional storage.
    For instructions on purchasing additional storage please see
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4874
    Unfortunately it appears you have Snow Leopard: you don't have the iCloud preference pane, only the MobileMe one which won't do anything now. You can only purchase storage on a Lion/Mountain Lion Mac, an iOS5 or above device, or a Windows 7/8 PC. If you can't get access to one of these to sign into iCloud temporarily then you can't proceed without upgrading your Mac (see below). Your only other option is to reduce the amount of data.
    For help in reducing your iCloud data please see
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4847
    You can go to http://icloud.com and delete as much as possible, or if you have iCloud email set up in Mail you can create a new mailbox under 'On My Mac' and drag iCloud emails to it to download them and remove them from the server.
    If you want to upgrade your Mac it will have to meet the requirements:
    The requirements for Lion are:
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    To purchase it you will have to ring Apple at the number given at the bottom left of this page.
    The requirements for Mountain Lion are:
    OS X v10.6.8 or later
    2GB of memory
    8GB of available space
    and the supported models are:
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
    It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications).
    You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table

  • Can you use an .mac alias as "from" email address in .mac account?

    My .mac account is in my full name @.mac and MAIL automatically uses that as the "from" email address when i send mail. Is there any way to use one of my .mac aliases instead?

    For the email account preferences for any email account, there is a Name field which you can enter anything to appear as your name when sending a message with the account and there is an email address field for the same. With a .Mac account, you cannot enter a different email address to appear as the sending email address for a message sent by the account.
    You can send messages from your .Mac account alias email address but the name you have entered for the Name field under the Account Information for your .Mac account preferences will be the name shown with the alias email address when sending a message with the alias.

  • .Mac account not receiving all emails

    I am not receiving all emails to my main .Mac account. I do receive emails and would never known there was a problem until people started calling to find out why I haven't responded. I have a main .Mac account and two alias accounts, but the address that the emails are being sent to are my main account. Any ideas?

    The junk mailbox is empty. I checked my preferences and disabled it for now to see if that will make a difference. I do have some Rules set up to filter known "sales" emails to delete or change the color but I have not set up any rules to move or filter from friends.

  • Outgoing emails away from home

    When away from home (ISP TalkTalk) I find I can receive emails fine, but I cannot send emails on Mac Mail. This happened with my last ISP as well. Is there anyway of correcting this whilst still using Mac Mail? I have tried using different outgoing servers, but there seems to be something missing.

    Hello, and welcome to the Discussions.
    This issue is totally dependent upon the internet provider at the venues you visit while away from home, and also upon whether your ISP provides a SMTP that is fully authenticated and works on a Port other than Port 25. The latter is being increasingly blocked by most providers, and SMTP that trust you at your home venue only by reference to your authentication of the Incoming Server or the IP address of the Modem provided by your ISP are likely to not work when away. This is not related to Mail per se, but any email client.
    Ask your ISP is they have a SMTP that works on Port 587 or Port 465 for you to use when away from home.

  • Sending email away from home

    I use a iBook G4 that I have set up wireless Airport in my home. I am able to send and receive emails at home. I have DSL provided by Cavalier and use Safari email program.
    I am able to pick up WiFi signals in my travels as a sales rep. and can receive emails. The problem is I can't send emails. I checked with my Internet provider and they tell me to go their web site to send emails. That works for regular emails, but I work with a Filemaker software to generate sales orders that I email to vendors. I am not able to send these emails when I pick up a WiFi signal away from home.
    Any suggestions.

    Safari isn't an e-mail program, it's a Web browser. When you use Cavalier's Webmail, you do so with a browser (such as Safari).
    The Filemaker generated e-mail is probably using an e-mail client, such as Mail, to send the message. When you're sending from a 'foreign', not-Cavalier network (which is what happens when you hitch on someone else's WiFi signal, unless they happen to be a Cavalier customer), The Cavalier SMTP server won't send the e-mail. Many ISPs have adopted this tactic as a way of slowing down the spam avalanche. In some cases, they have established mechanisms to require authentication and use ports other than the popular port 25. It sounds like Cavalier has decided to lock things down a little tighter and requires you to use their Webmail when you're out of network.
    One thing you can do is to let Filemaker generate the e-mail, then copy and paste it into Cavalier's Webmail to send it.
    Hopefully others will have some suggestions.
    Good luck

  • .Mac Account Not working with iChat AV

    Hi,
    I'm having trouble using iChat AV 2.1 (v153) under OSX 10.3.9. I can not use my AppleID to log into AIM, so I am limited to chats with users on the local network whom I discover via rendezvous/bonjour.
    The whole story is related below. Deleting com.apple.iChat.AIM.plist doesn't help.
    Thanks for your help.

    I am able to access the MyInfo page with my .Mac password:
    https://myinfo.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyInfo.woa......
    But, I decide to change my .Mac password anyway to try to fix the iChat problem.
    Visit the .Mac account page:
    https://www.mac.com/WebObjects/Account.woa?aff=consumer&cty=US&lang=en
    and click on the "Forgot your password?" link. Indicate that I want to reset my password via email, and the web page indicates that the info I need was sent to [email protected], which is strange and useless.
    So, I try again: click on "Forgot your password?" link, then on the "Forget your Apple ID?" link. Fill in my info, including my valid email address, and the web page indicates that it has sent the info I need. Check my email, and presto! there's a link to follow to change
    my password.
    I click on the link. Get a web page where I enter a new password twice, which it accepts, followed by a web page that says:
    Your Apple ID password has been changed.
    Select the "continue" button below to return to .Mac
    Login or choose
    from the list at right.
    with a big green "Continue" button. I click the button and get the "Rejoin .Mac" page:
    http://www.mac.com/WebObjects/Welcome.woa?aff=consumer&cty=US&lang=en
    I also get an email message telling me my password has been changed and I'm set to log in. It also tells me to report any problems to:
    http://survey.info.apple.com/feedback/appleid.html
    I don't want to Rejoin .Mac, which I have to pay for and which provides a bunch of services I don't need - I just want the minimal functionality required to get iChat to work.
    So, I restart iChatAV. It immediately opens a window that says:
    AOL Instant Messenger Login
    Please enter your login ID and password for the AOL
    Instant Messenger service.
    with my login ID already filled in - [email protected] - and the password field blank. I fill in the password field with the password I just used the .Mac account management page to reset, and IT IS REJECTED. I try a few times - all rejected. I eventually click on the cancel button and I'm back to where I was - limited to Rendezvous/Bonjour chats.
    I am still able to access the MyInfo page with my .Mac user ID and (new) password.
    I've been through this several times with the same outcome each time.

    Thanks for responding.
    My password is eight characters long. [disclosure, the problem's I've been reporting are with my wife's account - so "My" = my wife's]
    I don't have access to the 10.3 machine right now, but I've reproduced the problem with iChat 3.0.1 (v392) under 10.4.2.
    I select Preferences from the main iChat pull down menu. I then select Accounts, and click on the "+" to add a new account. I click in the "Use this account" check box. I select .Mac as the Account Type. In the Description field, I enter "Chance's Account". In the .Mac Name field, I enter my .Mac username and "@mac.com" is automatically appended with no way to delete it. I enter my .Mac password in the Password field.
    I then select Log In to AIM from the main iChat pull down menu, and, instead of simply logging me in as happens with my account (as opposed to my wife's, which is the problem account we;re discussing), I get a pop up menu "AOL Instant Messenger Login" prompting me to enter the password for the account [email protected]
    It doesn't help to delete the "@mac.com" part. It doesn't help to check the "Allow multiple logins for this account" in iChat preferences.
    I am sooooo sick of this!

  • Iphone, Mac Account Not Connecting

    A message says "connection to server failed", but all my account settings look correct and haven't changed.  I get mail, through my gmail account but the mail on my mac account stopped a few weeks ago and won't come through. They show up fine on my other computers.   The problem is I just am not getting them on my iphone.   Does anyone know what's the fix is  for this?

    Hi,
    iMessages
    The Messages app can have the iMessages account set up with an Apple ID which is usually an email nowadays.
    Then you can add the Apple ID to an iPhone and the Mac versions will get a pop up saying that the iPhone is using it's Number AND the Apple ID and accepting the Pop up adds the iPhone Number to the Mac version's "Receive At" list and creates the drop down for "Send From" at the bottom of the iMessages pane.
    You can add other emails in the Mac version (Messages > Preferences> Accounts > iMessages) or to the iPhone and it will be synced by pop ups across devices (If you accept them)
    There is then no way to tell which IDs or iPhone numbers are working apart from a process of elimination about which device can use an ID to Send and which devices are syncing that ID as well.
    Other Messages Accounts
    Obviously you Google Email ID can be used in the Google set up as  Jabber ID. However you have to enter the name as it appears when you log in the the Google web Mail page (@googlemail.com and @gmail.com are different as far as Messages or iChat is concerned).
    You could use your Yahoo email to create a Yahoo account in Messages.
    There have been issues with logging in a Yahoo account over the past two or so week.
    It can be very intermittent.
    Apple ID that have been issued by Apple (@mac.com, @me.com (if linked to iCloud) and an @icloud.com one) as also valid AIM Screen Names.
    With the older ones  (@mac.com and @me.com) there are limits to which iChat version you can use them with but they should be OK in Messages.
    I would think you are talking about a Yahoo login.

  • IChat says ".mac account not reachable"

    Hi to everyone, first post here in this forum for me.
    I have a problem with my .mac account, but only when trying to log into iChat. I've used it last time yesterday evening, turned off the pc, today switched on again, and after a couple of minutes iChat (that starts automatically at login) tells me that "iChat cannot communicate with the ".Mac" account. The server does not respond"
    The account is working properly, i can use it on itunes, on mobileme, on this forum and also i am able to connect with AIM on iPhone.
    What can I do to fix? internet is working properly and there is no nat on the router and everything can access the network (iPhone, Airport Express).
    Thanks a lot!!!
    Roberto.

    If this is a @mac.com name or a @me.com name from MobileMe make sure the PAssword is not more than 16 Characters.
    Apple lets you set more but this does not work with the AIM Servers.
    The Original Poster said their name worked on an iPhone (not just Apple Sites) where you have not said you tested the same name that is an issue on your Mac on the PC (you said you tested AOL Messenger and did not confirm it was the same Screen Name)

  • Using Mail in Tiger, Messages in .mac account not deleted

    I have recently upgraded my Slot loading iMac to Tiger. I have had a .mac account for many years.
    I'm just starting to use Mail in Tiger to see if I can filter the Junk mail. The filter training seems to work OK, but once I delete the Junk messages in Mail, a copy of the Junk stays on my .mac account.
    To delete the Junk on .mac, in Mail I have clicked "synchronize .mac account" and also "Erase deleted messages .mac account", but it dosen't seem to work.
    What am I doing wrong? Do I have to wait? Is there a time lag? Or am I just using the wrong tool?
    I searched the discussions for this but could not find a smilar question.
    Thanks!

    Carlson,
    I was not recommending any change, but only what was selected, to see if it might provide a clue -- it did not.
    Create a New Mailbox, as On My Mac. Open the troublesome message (or highlight in the list of messages), and click Message, and in the pull-down choose Move Message, and target the New Mailbox you have just created.
    Close Mail, and in Safari see if the message remains in the Inbox, on the server. If not, then in the Finder, open Home/Library/Mail/Mailboxes and find the New Mailbox you just created, and delete it.
    Relaunch Mail, and see if any trace of the message remains. I have been researching some similar behavior with some bad acting messages, but not with an IMAP or .mac account, so I don't know if this will work, or not?

  • ICal Alarm emails coming from home AND work email?

    My iCal calendars are synced using MobileMe with my home computer and my work computer (and my iPhone). I'll sent an alarm on my work calendar to email me at work. I am now getting two emails sent TO my work email From my work email AND my home email. Is there any way to stop my home sending out work alarms?

    Hi BenChase,
    Select the calendar you don't want to send alarms in iCal's calendar list. Press Cmd-I to open its Info panel. Check the box that says 'Ignore alarms'.
    Best wishes
