How can i back up all my email accounts on my iMac

Hi There
I have an issue with my iMac at present, and I need to make a fresh start I have backed everything up with an external hard drive in time machine
But is there a way I can just grab my mail in the same way you could before Yosemite . There was a way you could copy the mail folder and the apple .com plist
onto an external drive . I've looked ito this and I don't see the apple.complist anymore . is there still away to do this and if so can you share this with me .
Kind regards
Best
Jo

Hi Eustace
Thanks for the reply . So I watched this link on youtube . Which showed as you say by going to the Library,
while holding the "alt" key down) the Go menu and select "Library" from the menu. Select the Mail folder and copy it to an external drive .
But the this guy went to the preference section in Library too and pulled across the apple.com plist. is this still the case
if so sweet
Many thanks
Best
Jo

I lost my iPhone. i got a new one, how can i back up all the contacts i had in the old one (iPhone 4S).

i lost my iPhone. i got a new one, how can i back up all the contacts i had in the old one (iPhone 4S). When i go to Itunes it start as a new iphone.

Contacts are not a part of back up.
Contacts are sync with a compatible programme on your computer depending on your operating system (Windows or Mac). For example, Microsoft Outlook (for both Windows and Mac), Windows Contacts (for Windows) and Addressbook (for Mac).
Or contacts are also backed up in iCloud (depending if you chose to do so).
So, sync back the contacts from any of these programmes. If you have not made a backup of your contacts in any of these progammes, then they are gone.

HT4859 My iCloud does not allow me to change my user email account. How can I change to a new email account and restore my iCloud?

I was recently hacked so I had to change to another email account and now iCloud won't let me back up because it is still only allowing the old email acct to be the main one. How can I switch to a new email account for my iCloud?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)

If it has Lion, use the Recovery Mode boot Command-R
Use that to erase and reinstall - it has network install ability.

How can I change the default "from" email account on my iPad/iPhone in IOS 8.2?

I currently use my phone & pad for business and personal use. My emails should come from my business account but they're coming from my Yahoo account. How can I change it without having to manually change each email? I've checked online but I don't see settings/mail,contacts,calendars/default account in this new revision of software.
Thanks!

Hi bschmidt0726,
Go to "Setting"; scroll down to the 4th box for "iCloud"; You need to turn on you "Mail" option in the "iCloud" settings.
Then,
Go into "Settings", scroll down to "Mail, Contacts, Calendars"; on the left panel, scroll down to the 4th box; there you'll find the "Default Account" settings.

How can a family member have an email account on iCloud, separate from mine?

We're changing ISPs, and so my wife needs a new e-mail address. How can I switch her to @me.com, or @mac.com?

She just needs to sign up for iCloud in her own user account on your Mac.
See: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html
She won't get an @mac.com email address though. New ones of those haven't been available for years.

How can I delete old (non-active) email accounts that don't show in the Accounts Preferences pane?

Since I (reluctantly) abandoned MobileMe and switched to iCloud, when I use Mail Connection Doctor because a problem is indicated with one or more of my email acocunts, it shows both iCloud IMAP and Me.com SMTP accounts. The iCloud account is fine but the SMTP acount has a red button against it.
So Connection Doctor shows the old SMTP account always failing to connect (of course - as it's been abandoned). However, this account does not show up in the Accounts Preferences pane so I am not able to delete it. This also happens with another account which I deleted in the Preferences pane some time ago.
How can I stop these phantom accounts appearing in Connection Doctor? It's very irritating to constantly have faults indicated which apply to abandoned accounts.
Thanks people!

Go to your iCloud account in Preferences>Accounts. Set the 'Outgoing mail server (SMTP)' drop-down menu to 'Edit SMTP server list'. Then:
Set the server name as shown here. Then click the Advanced tab and check the settings.
If you are still having problems, you could start the setup again from scratch. Assuming that your signature is correct and you are running Leopard, delete any iCloud or MobileMe accounts in the list and then follow the instructions here:
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard

HT201320 how can i stop automatic configuration of email accounts on my ipad...the ports are not correct and i cannot access my email

i cannot get my "frontier" email account set up on my ipad so that i cannot either or receive email.

-On the right, under "Accounts" on top, tap "Add Account...",
-Select one of the email service providers or "Other",
-Under "Mail", tap "Add Mail Account",

-Repeat for new email accounts.
