Thanks for any advise

Delete your mail account from Mail preferences and set it up again using the Mail Server Information.
Some users have apparently encountered issues using this information in pre-Lion set ups (I haven't), Roger Wilmut has kindly provided instructions for those who find themselves with this problem.
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Tiger

  • How do I change the email account for icloud on my iphone only

    How do I change the email account for icloud on my iphone6 only.  I don't want to change my ipad or my husband's iphone6.  Currently all 3 devices have the same gmail account associated with them.  I have created a new & separate apple id and I want that on my phone but I can't figure out how to delete his email from my phone.

    To change iCloud accounts you have to go to Settings>iCloud, sign out, then sign back in with your other ID to create your new account.  If you want to migrate a copy of the iCloud data to the new account, start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save Image.  If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out, choose Keep on My iPhone and provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone when prompted.  Then sign back in with your new Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload the data to your new account.  Once you are on a separate account you can go to iCloud.com and delete your husband's data from your account (and he can do the same with yours).
    Just be aware that the current @icloud.com email address cannot be moved to the new account, nor can the current my photo stream album (which is why you need to save any my photo stream photos you want to keep to your iPhone before signing out of the existing account).

  • How do I change an email account that is backed up to iCloud?

    How can I change the email account that is currently being backed up to icloud?

    This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll normally be most likely to get help with general iTunes and iTunes Store issues if you ask in the general iTunes forums.
    Answering quickly, though, this is a question you probably should ask of Apple through your iTunes Connect account. These are user-to-user technical support forums, so not many content providers who might know the specifics of the process participate here.

    Call the tech support for the provider of your old email. They will be able to change the password for you or if they can't they will shut the account down so that spammer is not able to use it.

  • How can I change my twitter account on my mac?

    I deactivated my twitter account on the web a few months ago. I forgot to sign out from twitter app on my mac. I have new twitter account now. When I tried to use twitter app on my mac, I've seen my old account profile photo. But I couldn't delete my old account on my mac. Is there someone who knows how I can change my twitter account on my mac app?

    OK that's how you deactivated your Twitter account on Twitter, but I was responding to this part of your post: "But I couldn't delete my old account on my mac."
    Please describe how you tried to delete your old Twitter account from your Mac and what happened when you did it. (Hint: It should probably start with a visit to the System Preferences application, not a web site.)
    It would be helpful to me or the next user who sees this thread if you told us which model and year MacBook Air you have and what version of the system you run on it. Some of the suggestions might depend on either or both.

  • EA4500 - How do I change the email account the router is associated with in Cisco Connect Cloud?

    I have an EA4500 runnign the latest firmware that supports the Cisco Connerct Cloud and I need to change the email account the router is associated with. How do I do this? (Online Help does not explain.)

    We plan to deploy over 350 of these routers across the country. In our situation, it would not make sense to associate all these routers with one email account or even, at the other extreme, a separate email account for each router. In addition, you have created a management nightmare for us if we pursue this option, because anytime we need to make a change to the email account associated with the router, we would need to re-configure it manually. We need to manage these routers separately and outside of the Cisco Connect Cloud option. I understand that I can downgrade the firmware to the prior release, but this is a temporary fix (eventually security vulnerabilities will be discovered that will force a firmware upgrade - in fact, you have already had one) and I would like to request an option to manage the router outside of the Cisco Connect Cloud email associations. Will this be possible in the near future? Otherwise, we will need to consider another vendor for this project.
    Hopefully this should be possible in the future.
    I believe that I can make it

  • How do I change the email account that sends photos?

    I have 2 email accounts on my phone. Currently it sends photos from my business account. I want it to send from my personal account. Any way to switch this?

    Richard,
    You need to change which email account is the default. Go to Settings -> Mail -> Default Account and choose your personal account. This will now be the default account whenever an account is not specified; i.e. sending links from Safari, emailing photos, etc. To send an email from your Business account you'll need to enter mail, touch the business account, and then choose to create a new email.

  • How can I add an email account in apple mac which ends with .consulting

    We changed our email account and the domain name is .consulting. How can I add this account to my Mac mail?

    If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. You must use the previous Apple ID and password to unlock the device. If you do not know the password you might be able to recover it at this link:
    https://iforgot.apple.com/password/verify/appleid
    This normally will require that info is sent to the primary email address associated with the Apple ID. If you have an alternate email address assigned to that Apple ID you might get the password via the alternate email address.

  • How can I change my email account name to my alias?

    The Verizon email address all my friends, family, and business associates have used for more than 8 years (Jxx Sxxxx) turns out to be an alias. My primary account name seems to be JSxxxx. I recently changed to high speed enhanced and these things happened:
    Outlook, where I receive my email, continues to receive all mail addressed to Jxx Sxxxx, just as it always has. If I compose a new email or hit the reply button, my outgoing emails SHOULD show up in the recipient's mailbox as Jxx Sxxxxx. Instead, they appear with the sender name Mxx Sxxxx (the name of my husband, the account owner). I need my own name back in order to get my emails read by business associates and others who don't know who Mxx Sxxxx is. 
    In addition, only email addressed to JSxxxx comes to my regular Verizon account (accessed at webmail.verizon.net). NO email addressed to Jxx Sxxxx comes to that account, which means that if I am away from my computer I cannot access my email at all.
    How can I change my so-called account name to my alias without losing all the emails in my Outlook account? That is, how can I get rid of my primary account name, and substitute my alias?

  • How do I change an email "Account Name" on my iphone.

    Hello everyone,
    My question is how do I change an account name in my iPhone? I have just added another separate gmail account, which makes a total of 4 email accounts on my phone. On the first 3 accounts, the name of the account is the email address. The final account (gmail) I just added today, the name of it just says "gmail". How do I change this so it shows up in my iPhone as either the address the account is connected to, OR, give it a name I create?
    When I set up the account it asked me for a name for it, and I gave it one, but it does not show up either under "inboxes" or "accounts" It just simply says "gmail" How can I change that?
    Also, is there a way to give an account a name other than the email address for the other 3 existing accounts?
    Thank you in advance for any and all help!
    KPJ

    THANK YOU!!! If it was a snake it would have bit me. Seems kind of counter intuitive to have the description be the name of the account that shows up on the phone. You'd think that it would be called "account name". Anyway, Thank you very much!

  • How do I change my email account from IMAP to POP on my MacBook Pro

    My email provider has changed and no longer uses Yahoo IMAP, so I need to change the email to a POP account but my MacBook automatically chooses Yahoo IMAP when I try to create a new account.  Any suggestions how I can change from IMAP to POP?

    My email provider is BT and they have just moved me from BT Yahoo Mail to BT Mail.  I deleted the Yahoo email account and then used the Other Account option to input BT Mail, but unfortunately my MacBook decided that it still wanted me to use BT Yahoo.  So for several weeks I keep getting locked out of my mail and get the message box "Can't access mail' or something like that and wants me to put in the Yahoo mail password which is no longer valid.  I don't actually want to use POP (and actually have no idea what IMAP AND POP do!), but when I contacted BT support they suggested that I needed to use POP for BT Mail.  However having trawled the BT site I think what I was told was a load of rubbish.  So I suppose the real question is how to get rid of Yahoo Mail.

  • How do I change my email account password in Thunderbird?

    I changed my password on my Comcast email account, and now I cannot access my email using Firefox. There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about passwords anywhere on your support site. I've looked in every single menu item, and there is NOTHING to do with passwords. Help. Help me, please.

    All the articles recommended seem to use the old Firefox menu system. I solved my problem, but I'm not really sure how. I did find the saved passwords by clicking the "display menu" icon (three horizontal bars) in the upper right, and then choosing Options...->Options...->Security->Passwords->Saved Passwords->Show Passwords. Then the next time I tried to check my mail, I was prompted for the password, and checked the "remember password" box. Everything works fine now.
