How do I change the default email to hotmail? There is no "webmail" optioin in applications and no program available when I select "choose another program" when I follow the instructions.

I want to change my default email to hotmail (currently it goes to Outlook, which I don't use). Firefox instructions say to choose "webmail" in applications, but when I do, the only webmail account that shows up is gmail, which I don't use. The other option in the instructions says to select "use other" and then "browse", but again, when I open the browse file, there is nothing there for hotmail. How do I add hotmail to become the default?
Thanks

Setting Hotmail as the (default) mail provider involves doing some steps.
See:
*[[/questions/871548]]
Set the pref gecko.handlerService.allowRegisterFromDifferentHost to true on the about:config page. 
In Firefox 6+ you can no longer run JavaScript code via the location bar. 
You can run the JavaScript code in the "Firefox/Tools > Web Developer > Scratchpad" (Shift + F4). 
Paste the full JavaScript code in the code window and run the code via "Execute > Run" 
Do not forget to reset the pref gecko.handlerService.allowRegisterFromDifferentHost to false after you have added that mail provider.

How do I change my default email on the "Me" contact from a Facebook email to my normal email address in the same contact? Or at least change it for the autofill information?
Perfernece for contact to change. Do I just have to dis-associate my contact fromt the facebook account? Is only the autofill changable?

If you allow Facebook to access your contacts and you have the @facebook.com email alias turned on, it will add the @facebook.com email to your contact info, and because it has the fixed label of "email" it overrides every other email address.
They didn't fix this in iOS 8.
There are two ways to remove the @facebook.com email from your contact info:
If you don't need your Facebook friends and their info updating your contacts, go into iOS Settings -> Facebook and turn off access to Contacts.
If you don't use your @facebook.com email address (all it does it forward to the primary email address) you can go into the Facebook app, More -> Settings -> General -> Email -> and uncheck "Use your Facebook email". Removing it from Account Emails does not work, you have to turn it off. Once you do this, go to iOS Settings -> Facebook and turn Contacts off and on again to make it update your info. The @facebook.com address should be removed.

Hi How do i change my rescue email address if i no longer have access to it and forgot my security answers?

You won't be able to change the address until you can answer 2 of your questions - you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down the page that you posted from to update your rescue email address for potential future use

How can I change my default email to my hotmail account, as I do not have gmail, or yahoo?

I do not have, nor do I wish to have an additional email account. I have an account with hotmail and would like to make it my default email for my browser. Hotmail is not currently one of the options I am given, the options being yahoo or gmail. I could find no place to change this setting or add hotmail.
Is it possible to add a third option to the two that are given? If so, how?

Here's the official approach which embeds the change more deeply in Firefox so any feature which wants to send an email can use it.
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste '''gecko''' and pause while the list is filtered.
(3) Double-click '''gecko.handlerService.allowRegisterFromDifferentHost''' to toggle its value from false to true. The line should turn bold.
(4) In another tab, containing a normal web page, open the Web Console using one of these methods:
* Ctrl+Shift+k
* orange Firefox button > Web Developer > Web Console
* classic Tools menu > Web Developer > Web Console
A small area should open below the current page.
(5) Copy the following line of script and paste it next to the ">" at the bottom of the Web Console (it all goes on one long line):
navigator.registerProtocolHandler('mailto','https://mail.live.com/secure/start?action=compose&to=%s','Live Mail');
Then press the Enter key to execute it. An infobar should open at the top of the page. Click "Add Application". You now can close the Web Console using any of the same methods you used for opening it.
''If instead of an infobar the Web Console displays "Not allowed to register a protocol handler for mailto" then switch to your about:config tab, filter on mailto. If the line is bold and set to false, double-click '''network.protocol-handler.external.mailto''' to toggle its value back to true. Then try this step 5 again.''
(6) Open the Application preferences dialog using:
(WIN) orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Applications 
(MAC) Firefox > Preferences > Applications 
(LINUX) Edit > Preferences > Applications
In the search box on that tab, type or paste '''mailto''' and pause while the list is filtered. If you click the drop-down list on the right side, should should now find Live Mail.
(7) Return to the tab with about:config, if you changed the filter change it back to gecko, and double-click '''gecko.handlerService.allowRegisterFromDifferentHost''' to return its value to false. You can close about:config.
Okay, you're all set up and ready to test. Success?

HT1277 How do I sync my college email that ends in .edu with my Mac Mail application and on my iphone?

Hello,
Can anyone give me some instructions on how to sync my college email, which ends with .edu on my Macbook running Snow Leopard (OSX 10.6.8) using the Mail application and on my Iphone 4S running IOS 6.01?

If your mail account ending in .edu is a POP mail account, messages will download to each device, unless you just view them with a web browser via the internet, so that all messages stay on the server.
If you want to sync devices and mail, you need to have an IMAP account.
See this for deeper description of POP versus IMAP mail accounts.

HT201342 How can I change my iCloud email adress?

How can I change my iCloud email adress?

Once you have created an iCloud account and chosen an @icloud.com address to go with it you can't change the address (short of creating an entirely new account). (I've not heard that Support will change it if asked, but you can't lose anything by trying.)
However, all is not lost. You can add up to three 'email aliases' - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account. (In fact it's a good idea to give out alias addresses, rather than the main address, because if they attract spam you can easily change them.) (New aliases can only be @icloud.com ones; @me.com addresses cannot now be created.)
You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account, move it to another account, or reactivate it if you delete it.
More information on aliases here:

SCROLL DOWN TO ADVANCED and tap advanced.
Then look at Deleted Messages > Remove
