Email alias in iCloud

Is there a way to make an Icloud email look like it was sent from my domain "[email protected]" instead of "[email protected]" It appears you can make other "me" and "mac" aliases, but maybe not with your own domain?

Well, found the solution. I just keep trying, about 20 times, and then suddenly it worked. It'a almost like the server is busy. I just keep enteing info and finally it just worked.
And what suffix did you get - @me.com?

Can I convert an email alias to iCloud

Has anyone taken an Mobile Me Alias, that was migrated to iCloud, and then switch that alias to an iCloud account?

Yes. I had an alias and migrated that to iCloud without a hitch. I did this via the web - icloud.com first, then on my iphone/ipad I shutoff the contacts/calendars on my mobileme account and it asked if I would like to leave on phone/ipad or delete. I selected to leave on iphone/ipad so when I sign-in with the new icloud account it asked if wanted to sync (can't remember the exact request) the contacts/calendar on this iphone/ipad with icloud.
But I am having trouble adding alias email to the icloud - it won't let me do it at all.
I can't wait until (or hope) Apple will allow you to combine two accounts - icloud with your itunes account (if they are seperate).

Email Alias auf Icloud verschwunden, auf Mail und Iphone noch vorhanden

Hallo zusammen. Ich habe folgendes Problem. Ich habe einen @me.com Email-Alias angelegt. Über den Mac (da dann Mail) und über das iphone kann ich auf den angelegten Alias auch zugreifen. Auf icloud.com erscheint der Alias jedoch nicht in der Übersicht bei den Einstellungen und auch auswählen lässt er sich nicht. In den Einstellungen steht 3 von 3 Aliase noch verfügbar (ich habe sonst keinen Alias angelegt). Über Mac und iPhone lässt sich der Alias auch verwenden (Senden und Empfangen funktioniert einwandfrei), über icloud jedoch eben nicht. Weiss wer Rat?

Email alias

I have been trying to create an email alias on icloud for 3 days and keep getting the error "CANNOT SAVE ALIAS this alias cannot be saved at this time." I have 1 of 3 aliases remaining.

Everyone is having this trouble at the moment. If you look at the pane for creating aliases you will see that it has the '@icloud.com' suffix. These addresses are only now becoming available, and are being rolled out to subscribers over an unspecified period of time. It will be an @icloud.com alias, not an @me.com one, and so it seems possible that you won't be able to create an alias until your account has been upgraded.
Incidentally your signature says you are running 10.6.1 - is this in fact the case? If it isn't, please bring it up to date to prevent possible confusion when people answer your questions.

Can't default to email alias when sending mail

I set up an email alias on iCloud. On my Mac when I send a new email the "sent from" email defaults to the alias but I can't figure out how to do that on my iPad or iPhone. I can manually change the sent from email while composing but that's a pain. Does anyone know how to default to an alias when composing new emails?

Eventually solved the problem by changing the password for the two email logins and recreating the accounts in Sparrow.

HT4436 How can I transfer my odl family pack email to new iCloud id? Or add a new email account (not an alias) to my main icloud id?

I had a family pack but now I am not able to reach my son's email account. How can I find and transfer it? Or how can I open a new email account for my son through my icloud id. Actually it seems as if there is an oprating email account under his name but e-we cannot receive any emails or cannot reach the account settings...

Each sub-account of a MobileMe Family Pack should have been individually migrated to iCloud before August 1st last. Assuming that you didn't do this, you should be able to reactivate the address (though not retrieve its previous contents) by signing in with it in System Preferences>iCloud and enabling Mail - your son should do this on his own Mac or his own user account if he is using your Mac. It's not clear whether he will be able to reactivate the @me.com version or only get an @icloud.com version. (It would be useful to know, when he tries it.)
If he did migrate the account to iCloud then signing in in the same way should retrieve the contents and the @me.com address should work.
Alternatively he can just create a new Apple ID (for which he will need a new non-Apple email address) if he doesn't already have one, and sign in with that, enabling Mail and choosing a new @icloud.com address.
You should note that in none of these cases does his account have anything to do with yours (there is no need for a Family Pack equivalent in iCloud as it's free at basic level).
You could add an email alias to your account, but it's not a good idea as it will mix his emails up with yours and he won't be able to detach it later.

I'm trying to figure out how to add an iCloud email alias but can't figure out where or how to. Please help.

You do it on the iCloud website at http://www.icloud.com , in the Mail section. Please see this Help page:

How to convert a new Apple ID into a iCloud email alias?

Howdy,
Just a few weeks ago, I created a second MobleMe accout for my daugher via my MobleMe family plan. The reason was that her orignal MobleMe email ([email protected]) address seemed a bit childish to her and she wanted a new "more professional" sounding address. At first I tried to create an email alias, but discovered that new alias creation had been stopped due to the looming iCloud launch, so I used one of my unused family plan accounts to create "[email protected]." Took some fooling around to get mail on her macbook to send & receive from both... but it worked and I was once again, the family IT hero!
Okay, now that iCloud has launched, and we are converting over to iCloud I wondered what to do about my daughters two email addresses. I looked around for information about just converting both xxxx & yyyy to iCloud, so my daughter could receive both emails from the same iMac mail account... but I can find nothing about that option on the inter tubes so I figured that option was unsupported.
Next I wondered if email aliases had come back, and they have! Cool, just convert [email protected] to an alias of [email protected]... but alias, you can't delete an Apple ID and I assume that I won't be able to create [email protected] as an alias as it is it's one Apple ID (otherwise, there would be a really big security hole in iCloud email ;).
What to do? Well, I can think of the following options, in order of what would be most user friendly to my daughter:
1. Convert [email protected] to an alias of [email protected]. This would be nice because I could simplify my daughters email set up (just one account, not two). Trouble is, I don't know how to do this and/or it just can't be done.
2. Create a new alias for [email protected]; [email protected]. Kind of junky as "yyyy" is pretty obvious (if you knew what it was), and [email protected] is already "out there."
3. Create two accounts on my daughters macbook; one for [email protected] and the other for [email protected]. This ***** because she'd have to logout/login to check mail on both accounts.
So... their must be a simpler way, right Apple? If so, please advise!

Unable to delete iCloud email alias

I am unable to delete my iCloud email Alias sucessfully.
I have 3 alias at the moment. Two of it is correct and I am going to use it. The third was created wrongly(named spelt wrongly) and I tried to delete it. The moment i click the delete button and re-confirmed at the prompt, nothing happen. If you close the Settings menu and go back to the main interface, the alias itself is not found when u compose an email.
BUT when you sign out of iCloud, the alias you have deleted will return. If you go back to the menu right after deleting the alias earlier on, there will be an error which always appears when i repeat it(report sent to apple everytime) stating internal inconsistency error or something like that.
Now if you untick the box for "send and receieve.." for that particular alias, yes the alias itself will disppear from the list of aliases when i compose a new mail.
BUT NOW there's another bug which comes with this - when i navigate to my iPhone's mail and compose a new mail(through iCloud, i had it enabled on my phone), the alias which i have deactivated just now still REMAINS and in fact i can even send email from it! So much for deactivation.
I find it ridiculous to pay for support through Express Lane Support for this which does not belong to me(not like its a phone, duh), so i hope apple is actually looking at this and find a fix for it.
And yes, i want my deleted alias to finally be deleted.
PS: Im using Windows 7. Issue occur on both Firefox and IE

I filed a bug report weeks ago with Apple about this issue with the iCloud Mail app crashing when one tries to delete an email alias. Apple has yesterday closed the ticket, telling me that the issue is not a bug but rather a "support" issue.
In the interest of moving toward a solution for all those affected by the issue, I hope that someone who has access to free Express Lane support will take the time to see what support will do about the problem. Free Express Lane support is available to anyone who has purchased Apple hardware in the last 90 days or who has current AppleCare coverage. If someone does contact Apple support regarding the issue, please report back here so that the rest of us can know whether support reps are able to fix an affected account.
Thanks.

I need change main email address in iCloud, make alias email main

i need change main email address in iCloud, make alias email main

I'm afraid you can't do this. Once you've chosen the main @icloud.com address when you set up the account you can't change it (other than by creating a completely new account); and you can't make an alias the main address in the account it's in or any other account.

Reset email alias password on iCloud.

With the transition from mobile me to iCloud, one of my email alias requires me to input a password in Mac mail. I cannot remember the pass thus am not receiving email sent to my alias. I've gone online to iCloud and cannot find an easy way to reset the password. Is this the same password as a person's apple ID or main email or something I made up years ago that I cannot recall? And how do I reset a pass on an email alias account?

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted. If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Use iMessage with iCloud email alias?

I set up iCloud with my old .mac / mobileMe account. So far no trouble.
But I've been using some email aliases that I use for actually emailing and kept the "core" email address (the iCloud log in) a "secret". (Just because I'm afraid of spam. An alias is easier changed than a whole Apple-ID with iCloud in the backseat now - in case I end up on a spammers-list).
Now when using iMessage I need to give out an email address (of course). I tried to use one of my iCloud addresses (aliases) but it won't accept those. Only the iCloud log-in Email address. Which I don't want to give to my friends or other people.
Is it supposed to ONLY work with your iCloud log in?

This worked for me as well. This is what I wrote in one of my previous replies above:
I'm still having problems with my aliases as well and haven't figured out yet how to solve them, but at least I was able to add all of the real and aliases emaill addresses in Settings>messages, as Received At addresses by adding them first directly into my Apple account (https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/9/wa/directToSignIn?w osid=HjlK10qeSWnPnWAP22tUF0&localang=en_US) and then I was able to enter all my aliases in the iPhone and iPad under the messages settings. Having figure out yet how to sync the iMessages between my iPhone and iPad, though.
But even though I had issues when I wrote the reply above, I was able to add my aliases and now I'm using it for iMessages without any issues. I think is worth trying to add the emails and aliases to the apple id account profile and do it more than once if it doesnt work the first time. I did it like three times until the server added and recognized my aliases There's still server issues causing headaches to people.

ICloud email Alias has disappeared

Hello Folks,
I have an issue with my iCloud account.
When it was first made available, i signed up with [email protected]
Then i noticed you could create alias's. So i created [email protected]
Today i go into my iCloud account, and my alias is no longer there. Under the account settings, i have NO alias's listed. it says available, 3 of 3.
However, if i email [email protected] i get the email address sent to me [email protected] account.
So the alias works, but its not showing up. I can accept email with this alias, but can't use it for Facetime for instance.
Please help.

I've actually taken this direct to Apple now. Tim Cooke forwarded my email to a senior engineer to look at. Apparently no one had reported this before and as a result they found an underlying bug, which they made out was quite important. Some lady form Tim Cookes office phoned to thank me. Very odd.
She said they are working on it, but that was a week ago now.
My account with them is currently in troubleshoot mode so I've lost a few services but nothing important. They also gave me a temporary password so I can still use the app sotre. Sadly I still don't have my email alias back.

ICloud email alias' not receiving email

i have two email alias' brought over from mobileme.com into icloud
they are imported and showing in my icloud email alias' list. however, when i email to those addresses (@me.com) the emails end up in the mailer-daemon world.
any thoughts?

OK I think I have this figured out here. Looks like a case of operator error on this end in the beginning. Sorry for all the detail below, but if it helps anyone I hope it is worth it.
1. Per suggestion of Carolyn Samit elsewhere, I went into Apple>System Preferences>Internet and Wireless>iCloud and deselected Mail and Notes. I then repeated the above, but toggled the Mail and Notes back on.
2. I sent another test message to my iCloud alias address, per the routine set out in the first post above, with a BCC back to me, which immediately appeared in the MacBook Pro Mail Inbox.
3. I left the Sent message in the Sent folder, and the BCC in the Inbox.
4. I then signed into iCloud and opened Mail.
5. Lo and Behold, my test message was in both the Sent folder and the Inbox in iCloud Mail.
Lesson to be learned from the different process I had used earlier -- iCloud mimics exactly what I had previously done on my MacBook Pro (which was not detailed above because it did not seem important at the time). Previously, after sending a test email, I immediately moved the Sent message into a special folder on the MacBook Pro, and also immediately moved the BCC copy in the Inbox into the same special folder in Mac Mail.
iCloud mimic'd these moves, so when I went there in the early stages of this process (after having already moved two emails into special folders on the laptop), there were no emails to be seen at iCloud.
This last time just now, I left the emails in my Inbox and Sent folders at the laptop, and they WERE in the corresponding folders at iCloud.
Now, to toggle off Mail and Notes in Apple System Preferences and see what happens?
Good night . .

ICloud email alias deletion vs iOS device

When you delete (or mark disable) an alias in iCloud.com, how long before that alias dissappears from the list of choices when using iPhone or iPad? I know on your iOS device, you can go into icloud-settings-advanced and toggle each one off from there (which seems not to reflect the choices you made on iCloud.com, but will they ever sync up so deleted/disabled alias's will stop showing up as a choice to send mail on your iOS device?

It's easy.
I suppose you are using Mail as your mail application, so open it. Then, go to Mail menu (on the menu bar) > Preferences > Accounts, and choose your iCloud account in the sidebar. After that, you should see an "Alias" option, so press it and you will see your @icloud.com and @me.com addresses. Choose the @icloud.com email address, and you will be using this mail account on your Mac.
However, you can't remove a @me.com email address from iCloud
