How can I access messages sent to .mac email aliases?

First off, I apologize if this has been addressed earlier. It appears that search is disabled right now and I don't have time to sift through the entire discussion.
Has anyone determined a way to read email sent to a .mac alias through the iPhone? I'm only seeing messages sent to my primary email address. When I try to add the alias as a separate account on the phone, it is rejected by the mail.mac.com server.
Thanks!

I have sucessfully set up my .mac alias (using .mac mail).
First make a note of your primary account information:
Username & password
Incoming mail server
Outgoing mail server
Ports etc...
You will be applying these settings to your new account.
On iPhone go to:
* Settings/mail/add account/choose "other".
* Sellect type: imap
Name the account (name you want to appear in "from" field of email).
Type in your .mac alias address.
Description: Name of mailbox (i.e. personal, work).
Incoming mail server (enter info from your primary account):
* Host Name: mail.example.com (or mail.mac.com)
* Your primary account username
* Your primary account password
Outgoing mail server (enter info from your primary account)
In my case, for out going mail server I am using:
smtp.att.yahoo.com, port: 465
My username & password
Now, on my iPhone mail, I can select which account to send & receive from.
Personal or work.
Works for me, hope it does for you!

  • HT3529 how can I get messages sent to me to stop showing up on their ipods.

    My children and I share one Itunes account.  How can I fix my settings so that when people message me on my iphone from another Iphone,  it won't show up on my kids Ipods.  I rather my kids not see what people are sending me for messages. 

    Make a new Apple ID for each of your children, and use that for iCloud, FaceTime and iMessage.
    You can keep the 'old' Apple ID on their devices for iTunes and App Stores.
    This should allow you to all share the iTunes/Apps, but keep the messages separate.  Also, you can enable iCloud backup for each device under the unique Apple ID, and set it to automatically do a backup on a regular basis.

  • How can I access mail on my mac from my iPad?

    I have recently converted to imac and ipad mini from Windows and so am still a newcomer to planet apple.  I think I have eventually sorted myself out but with one exception in mail.
    I have transferred my outlook for mac filing system to mail using OLM Converter pro and all seems well except that I want to be able to see use and sync the filing system from my ipad mini as well as the mac.  It seems I need to transfer the filing system on my mac to the server so the ipad can access it - is this right, can it be done and how?
    Any other fixes very welcome please
    many thanks!

    thanks for the reply.  sorry I didn't make it clear regarding the "filing system" - this is just my name for the series of folders I created in Outlook for storing my emails.  Are you able to help with this?

  • How can I store messages sent automatically in the inbox?

    I am using Thunderbird and want to Switch to Mac Mail. One feature I cannot do without it having my own sent messages delivered in my inbox rather than in the sent box. I cannot find such an option in Mac Mail.

    You could also try a rule, although I haven't tested it. The criteria would select messages in "sent" box less than a certain age and move to "inbox."
    BTW, if you want a lot more control over sending in Mail take a look at Mail ActOn by Indev. It gives you many more options in Mail, especially in sending.

  • Can't send messages with old .mac/me aliases

    Hi, I'm using iCloud on the web because I have an old Powerbook as my primary device.  I specifically recall that Apple said that I can continue to use my .mac and .me aliases.  This is incredibly important since my business is tied to a particular .mac e-mail alias that I've had since, well, dotmac was around.
    It looks like I can receive messages with at least one of these aliases, but I cannot send messages with the alias.  The alias does not exist in the alias list pull down menu.  I tried adding the alias, but was told I already have too many.  Three?  Very frustrating!  Anybody know what's going on or how to fix it?  Thanks!

    IE11 is the most recent update.
    Try to reset all Skype settings.
    Quit Skype or use Windows Task Manager to kill any Skype.exe process. Go to Windows Start and in the Search/Run box type %appdata% and then press Enter or click the OK button. The Windows File Explorer will pop up. There locate a folder named “Skype”. Rename this folder to something different, e.g. Skype_old.
    Next go to Windows Start and in the Search/Run box type %temp%\skype and then press Enter or click the OK button. Delete the DbTemp folder.
    Restart Skype.
    N.B. If needed, you will still be able to re-establish your call and chat history. All data is still saved in the Skype_old folder.

  • How can I access advanced settings during initial email account setup?

    Having just bought an iPad Air, I've tried to setup my email account (with John Lewis) on it during the initial startup process and repeatedly failed, both with SSL on and off. I imagine that I need to change the port settings or some other advanced parameter, but I can find no way of accessing them. It looks simple once you have the account set up but obviously that is of no help here. I apologise if I am being dopey but this is my first experience with an Apple product. Thanks for your help.

  • I deleted a pop email account from mail.  How can I recover those sent messages without Time Machine?

    I deleted a pop email account from mail.  How can I recover those sent messages without Time Machine?

    Thomas,
    "Note that you were warned that this would happen and approved it.  When you delete an e-mail account in Mail, you are shown a message like the following:"
    You didn't read my problem - I said I deleted a POP email account.  I always read the messages that pop up and in Mail when you delete a POP account - IT DOESN'T TELL YOU NUTHIN!  It just deletes it - which *** for me.  Fortunately, I had an iPhone and on that device I had about a 1000 messages that I could recover but on all my POP accounts I download them from the server onto my Mac so they were only on Mail (the really old ones that I wanted to keep.)  I had to move them into another directory one by one basically because when I would move 50 some of them would move and some wouldn't and I never did figure out that problem.  Basically the ones that would not move are the ones that were associated with my domain changes with GoDaddy, and there were a lot of those.  Have no idea as to why only those were resistant to moving but I can get all that data from GoDaddy anyway.
    This thread is now moot seeing as how I've recovered everything I can and am going to just move on - and back up more often.  ;-)
    Apple and Mail need to rewrite that program to include a WARNING MESSAGE when deleting an Account in Mail that says ALL YOUR MESSAGES ARE GOING TO DISAPPEAR NEVER TO RETURN IF YOU DELETE THIS ACCOUNT, SO YOU DANG WELL BETTER HAVE A BACK UP IF YOU WANT TO KEEP ANYTHING BEFORE PRESSING THAT MINUS SYMBOL!  ;-)
