Email only account (UK)

HI
I have just recently unsubsrcibed my broadband connection as I have been spending far too much time surfing and not enough doing useful stuff! However I am missing my email connection at home ( althoguh I can do web mail at work).
Does anybody know if its possible to get a email only accound from an ISP in the UK.
If so who is doing this? I was previously with Pipex.

  • Can MobileMe email-only accounts access iCloud?

    So I have a MBP running Lion with a MobileMe account and my wife has an email-only address under that MobleMe account. We also sync Address Books, all accessed thru her old MB Core Duo running Snow Leopard, not upgradeable to Lion. If I switch to iCloud will she still be able to access Mail and sync Address Book? Can't find a definitive answer anywhere in the Apple iCloud support pages.... Help please!

    I couldn't either. With help from others and a MacWorld article finally got it figured out: You DO want to have two iCloud accounts, but you want one iCloud account to be the source for the Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks, iTunes, and PhotoStream on both machines. There is a solution.
    The issue: MobileMe account including its own email account, with the user also paying $10 for a second email-only account. The MobileMe account is used for joint Contacts, Calendar, and Safari Bookmarks on two machines, while the main MobileMe mail account was used for mail on one machine and the email-only account was used for mail on the other machine.
    We wanted to upgrade to iCloud on both machines and still have joint Contacts, Calendar and Safari bookmarks, plus share our iTunes account and use the new PhotoStream feature on both machines - but preserve the two individual email accounts.
    Solution: On the first machine, move to iCloud with everything, using the main MobileMe account name and password. On the second machine, USE THE EMAIL-ONLY ACCOUNT to create a new iCloud account using the username and password for the email only account. That appears to be the critical step: you need to create that new iCloud account with the username and password for the email only account FIRST rather than migrating to iCloud on the second machine using the main MobileMe account name, or else you may permanently lose that second email-only account!
    After that, it's all a matter of tweaking the account settings on the other apps to direct to the iCloud account on the first machine.
    You will get a screen asking if you want to delete the existing Contacts on that second machine. Do so: DELETE THE EXISTING CONTACTS on that second machine. (Only after backing up your Address Book by using the export function just to be safe.)
    Then, WITHIN EACH APPLICATION - Address Book, iTunes, Calendar, Safari - go to the Preferences and set them so that they are tied to the iCloud account for the first machine.
    You may need to check your Preferences: for a little while my wife was getting both my mail and hers, until I noticed that within Mail.app she had two accounts: her iCloud account AND my iCloud account. I deleted my account on her machine.

  • Email-only account greyed out

    An email-only account appears greyed-out in the LHS column in the Mail window. Hovering the cursor over the mailbox name produces a two-line pop-up error message as follows.
    Mail was unable to open this mailbox on the server "mail.mac.com".
    The server error encountered was: "Mailbox does not exist".
    I've checked in my .Mac account that our subscription is paid up to July and the email-only address is listed on the Manage Your Account screen. Can anyone help please?

    I have just posted this question as well and we have the same situation, an email only account.
    When I try to set up an iCloud account for my wife using her [email protected] address i'm always relogged on to iCloud with my details coming up.
    Do I have to delete my Mobileme account before setting her account up, if so does she still retain her  @mac.com address.

  • Cannot email from iPhoto 9.2 with my MobileMe-email only account.

    Mac OS 10.6.8, iPhoto 9.2
    I can send emails from my MobileMe regular account, but not from my MobileMe-email only account. I keep getting the alert:
    "Your email was not sent. Please wait a few moments and then try sending your email agan."
    Anyone know why?

    Yup, I have exactly the same problem like you have.
    I thought it was a problem with Apple's iCloud server but one of my friend told me this morning that he didn't have any problem with iPhoto' s iCloud email sending.
    Do I have to do all the clean install from the beginning or what?
    This thing is really bugging me I didn't have any problem when I was using mobileme account connected with iphoto back then.
    I'm not even sure if it's the problem with Lion or iPhoto or iCloud anymore...
    Somebody help with this matter, pleaseeeee

  • Email only account deleted

    Help. I just deleted one of my email only accounts. I don't care about recovering the meassages because it was all SPAM!
    What I want to do is add that same account back on.
    When I go to "set up account" and try to use that same mailbox name, it won't let me becaus eit says that account name is already in use. This is because they are holding that name in case this person wanted to "buy" an email only account.
    How do I get around this - I shouldn't have to "buy" it, I get 4 for free I think and it is important that it is the same "email address".

    Did you turn off messages on your iPhone AND your iPad and then start all over again, turning on messages on the iPhone first? That's usually how the phone number becomes accessible in Settings>Messages>Send & Receive at>You can be reached by iMessages at ....

  • Email only account

    I'm sure this has been answered in Help somewhere but I need definitive clarification. Am I right in saying that I can't open an email only account to use when my present .mac membership expires (even if I open it before the membership expires)
    thanks

    This forum is for discussing issues related to the Mail & Address Book applications included with Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger). Yours appears to be a .Mac issue that has absolutely nothing to do with Mac OS X’s Mail. The right forum for such questions would be one of the .Mac Forums, such as .Mac General, for example.

  • MobileMe "email only account" on iCloud?

    OK, I've converted my MobileMe account on my laptop and iPhone to iCloud. Am already enjoying the PhotoStream feature! My question: We have an iMac running Lion at home, and my wife uses it as her primary computer. Under MobileMe we've had an "email only account" we're paying extra for. We want to keep her separate email account on the iMac and eventually be able to sync it through iCloud with her iPad when she gets one for Christmas, BUT we want everything else on the iMac - photos, Contacts, Calendars, etc. - to sync with MY iCloud account. How do we accomplish this?
    Until we can figure this out, we're leaving the iMac alone and not converting it to iCloud. Thanks in advance for any answers!

    Thanks, that was a helpful response! I think we did pretty much the same thing you suggested.
    The issue: MobileMe account including its own email account on one computer, with the user also paying $10 for a second email-only account on another computer. The MobileMe account is used for joint Contacts, Calendar, and Safari Bookmarks on two machines, while the main MobileMe mail account was used for mail on one machine and the email-only account was used for mail on the other machine.

  • Which mobileme account do I upgrade to iCloud first? Master or email only account.

    Hi. I have two mobileme accounts that have not been upgraded to iCloud yet.
    The first is the master account that I use and the second is an email only account that my father uses which is attached to my master account.
    I would like to upgrade both to iCloud but I have received conflicting advice from a couple of Apple stores I have sought advice from. (A couple of Apple employees said do the master account first, the other two said to do the email only first!).
    Does it matter in which order I upgrade these accounts to iCloud? ie. should or upgrade the Master account first or the email only account?
    Or doesn't it matter !!!
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    The OP is asking about upgrading MobileMe, rather than the setting up of iCloud. Though it shouldn't make any difference, I would advise carrying out the migration of the email-only account first, then the master account.
    After that, whichever one it is that is wanted as the primary account needs to be entered in System Preferences>iCloud. And of course his father, who uses the email-only account, may have his own user account and can set up the ex-email-only account as a primary account there.

  • How to use email only on iCloud?

    I have an "Email-only account" how can I read its mail in the iCloud? 

    I've seen no reference anywhere to email-only accounts. One would expect that they could be migrated in the usual way at http://me.com/move but I've seen no actual confirmation of this.
    There does seem to be an issue with expired trial accounts whereby they can't be migrated, but that address can't be added to a new iCloud account. It's not clear whether email-only accounts will fall into the same mud-hole.
    However if you do nothing your email-only account will terminate next June.
    Therefore the most logical procedure is as follows:
    Wait until the beginning of next June as if the migration fails and you lose the address you are only in the same position you will be in at the end of June.
    Download all your stored emails to a new folder under 'On My Mac' before proceeding so you don't lose them.
    Go to http://me.com/move and follow the migration procedure. If it works, then you're in.
    If it doesn't work, try to create a new iCloud account using the email-only account address. It likely enough won't work but at this point you've nothing to lose by trying.
    Failing all this you will lose the account and have to get yourself a new one and email everyone telling them so. (This happens quite a lot anyway, so people are used to it.)

  • Sharing Address Book with e-mail only accounts

    Hello:
    I have created two email only account and would like to share the primary address book with these accounts. I have added these accounts in sharing folders and sent the invite.
    The main functionality I am looking for is access my contact information via the .mac interface with the email only accounts. I have created the new emails accounts based on the fact Tiger was going to allow the contacts to be shared across multiple accounts.
    Can anyone help??

    Address Book sharing uses the iDisk to store the contact data. So I am fairly certain that this feature doesn't work with email-only accounts.

  • Email-only MobileMe - movement to iCloud?

    Hi,
    I have a mobileMe account with an additional mobileMe email-only add-on that my wife uses as her email address.  I can't work out how this translates into iCloud. 
    I only want one iCloud account, so both myself and my wife have the same calendars, bookmarks, etc.  However, we both want separate email addresses as we do now.
    Is this what will happen when we convert to iCloud?

  • Implement a way to transfer from a Spotify account created using Facebook to a Spotify only account

    I have noticed an increase in posts recently relating to people who wish to deactivate their Facebook accounts, but if they do so they will also loose access to their Spotify account, since it was created using their Facebook details. 
    There should be an easy way to change your Spotify account, from a Spotify account which is tied to Facebook, to a Spotify (email only) account without the need to go through the quite long process outlined in my tutorial here. 
    This relates quite closely to being able to change your username idea, but I think this is different issue!
    Please please please implement this!
    Peter

     
    Thanks so much to everyone!
    At the moment, we're unable to implement the idea suggested above for a few reasons. As a few of you have noticed, our system currently doesn't support the changing of usernames since playlists are tied to usernames. Many folks who created accounts via Facebook before we implemented an email registration option would like the option to "transfer" their account to another.
    You can indeed follow the instructions in Peter's aforementioned guide to transfer your account. Moreover, we understand the want for a simpler way to move to an email created an account instead of a Facebook created account. However, we won't implement an option to "transfer" your account at this time.
    If you have any questions about how to transfer your account, follow Peter's guide for the quick fix or contact customer support.

  • What happens to mail only accounts?

    I bought 3 email only accounts along with the family pack in mobile me (when it was dot mac) long time ago
    I paid for these for several years, then mobile me came in with Aliases, but my mail only accounts were tied over as legacies, and I continued paying for them in mobile me.
    They are 3 [email protected] addresses, and are important to keep.
    What will happen in iCloud? am I going to loose these addresses - which would have a major impact on my "digital lifestyle"
    I really need to know how to keep them not figure out how to live without them!
    Then also I have two email addreses/accounts as part of mobile me family pack, wife has two also, Son has one.
    Does each of these accounts need migrating over to iCloud?
    What if two of these are the same person on the same Mac(s)
    Advice appreciated, thanks, Graham

    You mention email-only and Family Pack: these are not the same thing, but it doesn't matter as they can be treated the same.
    Each account (or sub-account) can be separately migrated to iCloud at http://me.com/move and will become a full individual iCloud account complete with all the facilities (Lion 10.7.2 required) and 5GB of free space.
    What if two of these are the same person on the same Mac(s)
    I see no reason why this should be a problem. You will need to sign in with your main account at System Preferences>iCloud and then add any subsequent accounts, that you want to use on the same user account on your Mac, at System Preferences>Mail, Contacts & Calendars.

  • Syncing contacts with email only mobileme

    How do I sync all my contacts to my iphone if I only have an email only account?

    As the name "E-Mail only account" says, this account has "E-Mail only", not "E-mail and sync".
    If you want to sync contacts over the air, you need a full MobileMe account. If you don't want that, you need to sync using USB dock instead (switch off over the air syncing on the iPhone and then connect to iTunes and sync).
