Email suffix mysteriously changed to .mac?

New to Mac. Using Entrourage as mail program from MS Office 2004. Currently trying out .mac service. When sending emails or sending replies, many emails are rejected becuase the suffix is mysteriously changed to .mac when in fact the intended recipient does not have a .mac address. Why is this happening and what can be done to correct the problem?
Thanks in advance.

Ok, after further review, I see that I had entered invalid 'aliases' and apparently apple 'assigned' a .mac extension to the invalid nicknames.
Specifically, I addressed an email to 'time, david'....two nicknames that weren't valid (because they are case-sensitive). I sent the email from Bellsouth. So when a bcc came to my .mac account, I see that the addresses were then [email protected] and [email protected], both invalid.
My question has been answered. Thank you.

how do you change your (mac/me/icloud) email address

You cannot change an iCloud email address unless you create a new iCloud account. You can, however, create an email alias, which is an alternate email address that will receive incoming email in your existing iCloud email inbox. To do this, see http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622. Just keep in mind that once you creat an alias, you can't later use this to create a new iCloud account or move it to another account, even if you delete the alias.

Can i change my email address on icloud account on phone? to email i used on new mac ?? do they need to be the same for optimal use?

Yes the Apple ID is the thing that ties your devices to you and shares your information and content between them.
If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

Why am I being told my email address has changed and need to change it for my apple id to work?

Not just iTunes store, but every day or so, when I'm trying to check for updated apps in iTunes, or download something on iPhone or update OS X software via App Store, I'm told that my email address has changed and I need to update it before I can download tunes from iTunes.
I then get redirected to a page where my apple id is shown (my email address), the address field is blank and a couple of password fields with ****** in them.
I put my email address (apple id) back in and all is well.
Why is it being reset all the time?
I don't have another apple id with the same address, but I do have a lot of devices using my one apple id:
A Mac (Lion latest)
iPhone 4S (iOS5 latest)
iPad 1 (iOS5 latest)
iTunes on XP (latest iTunes)
iPhone 3G (iPhone OS 3 - yea, really ancient)
Apple TV 1 (latest)
Wondering if one of these could be causing a reset.

this can happen when the billing address in your appleid info is not EXACTLY the same as your bank details, depending of the bank (see if you right "st" instead "street" maybe)

I am being prompted to update iPhoto and iMovie, but getting the message: "To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it." These came already loaded on my laptop, and my email has not changed. Any ideas or work-arounds?

Has your Apple ID changed, that's the one that matters.
You need to sign in under the account that purchased these apps (did you buy this Mac new)

Transfer emails from outlook 2011 for mac to Outlook 2010 for windows

Hi,
I want to transfer emails from outlook 2011 for mac to outlook 2010 for windows.
Outlook 2011 exports mails only in olm format and there is no option to import olm files in outlook 2010.
I can drag and drop emails from outlook 2011 to a finder folder which saves emails as eml files. How can import eml files into outlook 2010.
Please help

Hi,
Thank you for using
Microsoft Office for IT Professionals Forums.
Base on the research ,
We can try the steps below to add the registry sub key. This will open all .eml files that are in the file system using Outlook, including *.eml attachments on messages in OE/WLM. Any replies will be sent
using Outlook.
===========
Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the
registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem
occurs.
1.Type
regedit in the Search field on the Start menu or press
Windows Key+ R and enter it in the Run command.
2.Navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Microsoft Internet Mail Message WLMail\shell\open\command
Or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Microsoft Internet Mail Message\shell\open\command
3. Change the command line (here its "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Live\Mail\wlmail.exe" /eml:%1)
to the following line, exactly as shown below but correcting the path to Outlook.exe to match the path on your computer.
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\OUTLOOK.EXE" /eml "%1"
Thanks for your understanding.

Reversed order of images emailed from LR5 on a Mac

This has been a problem ever since LR3 and on previous versions of the MacOS. I hoped that it would be fixed in LR5, but not yet. When I select multiple images for email in LR5 on a Mac running Mavericks, the preview shows the images in the correct order, but in the email message itself, the order is reversed so that the last image is first and the first image is last. Nothing helps. If you select the images in a different order, the result is the same backwards order. Others have noted this problem, see messages from Bud, AJ, and SC in the middle of this page of comments on Julianne Kost's blog starting in December 2012: Lightroom – How Do You Change the Order of Images, Before Renaming? « Julieanne Kost's Blog
The only workaround is to create a separate export for each image or to export a folder of images and manually add them to a single email. I can't imagine that this would be a hard bug to fix, so please, Adobe, do so!
In addition, it would be helpful if there were a space between images in the email so that the images don't all run together in one long strip. There should be a way to have this happen by setting up a style or template so that it does not have to be done manually.

Do you have a suggestion for automatically adding a space between images?
I don't think you have control if using the native email feature (but I could be wrong). I'm not a Mac expert, but I suspect the solution would be something like exporting to an applescript and having that talk to apple-mail. Or running an apple-script after exporting to the emailer to add the space post-facto. Or, if you could find a special Mac email plugin which had more flexibility..
I use an Outlook macro for formatting messages with emails exported by Lightroom, but that wouldn't help you on the Mac (other than perhaps conceptually).
Sorry I can't be more help.

Upgrade from Mobileme to iCloud - do I need to change from Mac OS X 10.6.8?

Do I need to change from mac os x 10.6.8 to upgrade from Mobileme to iCloud?
Please advise
Is OS X Lion different? latest version?
Thanks in anticipation

Does that mean though that I have to change to the Lion, despite its shortcomings, in order for iCloud to work and not lose the current beneifts of synchronisation I have with Mobileme
Basically, yes.
You can migrate your MobileMe account to iCloud at http://me.com/move even with Snow Leopard - when asked to confirm that you have Lion on your Mac, just lie and say 'yes'.
If you have MobileMe mail set up to collect mail from external POP accounts you should cancel this before migrating, or you may find it still working in iCloud (where it isn't supposed to) and with no way of stopping it. You may find the MobileMe email settings will continue to work for a time after migrating but it will stop eventually so you should not rely on this. You should delete your MobileMe email account from Mail.
You can then set up Mail manually in Snow Leopard to access iCloud email; it's a slight fudge because the 'wizard' will attempt to connect you to MobileMe as soon as you enter an @me.com address. The process, which includes a workaround for this, is described here:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudmail.html
You may be able to sync your calendars to iCloud by means of an unsupported hack, but you cannot sync Contacts or Bookmarks and iCloud's other facilities will not work. This page outlines the situation when you migrate to iCloud, including a link to the calendar hack:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudSL.html
To get the full functions of iCloud you need Lion 10.7.2

Someone has changed my mac address

Hi everyone,
Having problems with my connection and my emails getting"lost" , not received either by me or my contacts, I want to undertsand what is going on, I suspect someone is spying , somewhere.
I checked , through my router interface all the mac adresses and did not find my imac.
I then went to check in my network preferences and saw that someone had changed my mac adress?? how come?
I want to know what was this mac adress to whom it belongs, please help??
Thanks a lot,

No. The person who has said they have evidence that my and other account have same mac and ip addresses has not shown me what they have or said how they got it.
They told me that myself and other user had same mac and ip addresses and that it was an iPhone that was used to send the messages over the site.
To them the evidence they have shows it's me using my phone to use 2 accounts.
However. I've only used this phone for the one account.
So if no 2 iPhones can show the same MAC address if through the same wifi router this could be what's happened?
If no 2 iPhones would show the same MAC address then what on earth has happened for her to see this?
Also - how would she of got this info and is it illegal or dangerous that she now has my mac and IP address?????
I'm sorry to ask so many questions but I really need to sort this and you are really helping. I appreciate all this help.

Email saying to change my Apple Id

I received an email saying to change my login ID from AOL.com to an Apple one. When I sign into my account there is no indication that i need to do this.
It does not lead me to any on-screen instructions.
Thank you

Many folks have expressed a bit of confusion... my understanding is that they all have in common = more than one AppleID with AOL ScreenName version as one of them
see if this article's brief statement helps [emphasis is mine]
Convert your AOL Username to an Apple ID - Apple Support
To convert your AOL Username to an Apple ID, sign in to iTunes on a Mac or PC with your AOL Username. Then follow the on-screen instructions.
Your new Apple ID will maintain your access to the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store, as well as all of the content you bought using your AOL Username. You can also use your Apple ID with iCloud and other Apple services.
you may be using your regular AppleID to try this?

I changed my apple id email but cant change it on my phone

I have changed my apple id email and cant change it on my phone now every time any app asks for my password is says its incorrect because the email is wrong.

The problem is that you had "Find My iPhone" (activation lock) turned on, when you changed your Apple ID email address. In order to solve the problem. please follow this steps:
Please change your Apple ID back to your old email address (that you used as Apple ID before) here:http://appleid.apple.com
Then go to all your devices - iPhones, iPads, Mac etc. - ("Settings > iCloud") and delete your iCloud account from this devices (+ turn off Find My iPhone, but I guess it will ask you that anyway)
After that go back to http://appleid.apple.com sign in again, and now change your Apple ID again to your new email address.
Finally, set up your iCloud account on all your devices again.
Now, everything should working properly again.

Your email address has changed or is invalid

I have been using a .MAC since the dawn of time. APPLE recently about two weeks ago prompted me for an alterante email and I provided one. Today I tried ot make a purchase on several different devices and am getting "Your email address has changed or is invalid"
Any suggestions?
NOTE I am able to log into the site and icloud as I always have no issues.

I am having this problem too. I recently changed ISP b/c I wanted the iPhone, so I had to update my iTunes username to my Gmail account.
In fact, I logged in HERE using it as my new Apple Id... so it works!
But for some **** reason that is driving me nuts my iPhone will not connect to the iTunes store using my new Apple Id. It keeps saying my email has changed or is invalid and asks me to sign in to change it. So I do that, and it lets me in USING MY NEW Apple ID!!!! Then I go back out to the buy the App and the madness starts all over.
Come on Apple, do you want me to buy your apps, or what?

I want to sync my 3rd party email to all of my MACs. If i delete an email on one device i would like it to delete on all the others.

I want to sync my 3rd party email to all of my MACs. If i delete an email on one device i would like it to delete on all the others. Anyone have any luck. Maybe icloud? How do i switch it for exsiting emails on Apple mail. thanks!

I was also wondering why iCloud doesn't delete e mail across all devices when I delete it on one device.
It does, provided it is an iCloud email account (which is an IMAP account). Email from non-iCloud email accounts such as Comcast, etc. is entirely separate and is not managed in any way by iCloud.
sjc47 wrote:
I am also confused by the discussion that POP accounts don't sync using iCloud as I have been using my Comcast POP account as well as several other POP e mail accounts and I receive e mails from all these accounts across all my devices without issue (Mac Mini, MacBookPro 13, iPhone5).
As mentioned, your non-iCloud POP accounts are entirely separate email accounts and are not managed by iCloud. You are receiving email from your POP accounts on all your devices because you have the accounts set up on all your devices; but the email is being sent from your other email providers such as Comcast, not by iCloud.
sjc47 wrote:
When you say POP accounts don't sync are you all referring to the deleting of e mails which was one of the subjects of the original post or is it something else I'm missing?
Unlike IMAP accounts, POP/POP3 accounts only deliver email to your devices. Any subsequent changes that you make an email on any of your devices such as deleting a message, marking it as read, etc., will not be synced to your other devices. This will give you a little more information on the difference: http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2008/05/getting-gmail-anywhere-imap-versus-pop.htm l.

Cannot send email from icloud account from mac

cannot send email from icloud account from mac running 10.8.2

The SMTP server you are using with Wi-Fi would be the outgoing server of your internet service provider... this is likely why that's working.
SMTP servers specific to a ISP would not work on the 3G network. You would probably need another SMTP server. One from your cell provider?

I'm following spro transaction, and SAP Note 691393. I am configuring Service Desk Specific Scenario Settings -> Automatic Email at status change.

I made the configuration suggested as described SAP Note 691303 SAP Tutor. Following SAP Tutor I go to transaction sppfcadm->select crm_order->botton "define action profile and actions"->Action Profile(left view) and SLFN0001_ADVANCED(right view)->mode change->new entry...   I follow the next slides at SAP Tutor.
