How do I set up a second email account in iCloud?

I want to add an additional email account to my iCloud account.

Greetings genekrebs,
You can add an email alias to your iCloud account. This allows you to have another email address that you can access using the same account. Many users find it helpful to have a "disposable" email account for various reasons. This article explains how to set it up -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Be well,

  • How do i set up a second email account on my 1st generation ipad

    I have an apple 1st generation ipad. How do I set up a second email account??? Please help

    You need to ask your mail provider for the setup info.  Usually it can be found on ther website in their help pages or the like for most email providers.
    If its a known service like hotmail, or gmail, there are preset options for those that fill in the required server info.
    If its a corporate email, the IT department should have this information.

  • How do I set up a second email address in icloud....it opens it in Mobileme??help

    I am trying to add an additional email address and when I do it opens it in mobile me.....not sure what I am doing wrong...should it be @me.com or @mac.com....I thought @mac.com but it does not acknowlege it.....I would think this would be easy....I sure it is and I am just missing something.  HELP
    thanks

    If as your signature states you are using 10.6.8 (if it isn't correct please update it to prevent confusion) then you need to set Mail up manually to access an existing iCloud account's email - the method detailed in this page gets round Snow Leopard's tendency to dump you into a MobileMe account:
    Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard
    You cannot create a new iCloud account in Snow Leopard; you cannot create a new @mac.com address in anything. If you already have an iCloud account migrated from MobileMe, then if you had an @mac.com version of the address in that then you still have it.
    If you have an iCloud account you can add up to three 'email aliases', which are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main address. These can only be @me.com addresses. You do this at http://icloud.com - please see this page:

    How can I set up my Shaw email account to work on my iphone? It doesn't want to work no matter what I try. Shaw's help line hasn't been very helpful so far.

    Have you not used the automatic 'configure my MobileMe' on my iPhone account setup ?
    http://www.apple.com/mobileme/features/
    You only have name, email address, password and a name for the account to enter.

  • I can't seem to set up a second email account with Mail. Help...and thanks!

    I'm having an impossible time setting up a second email account on Mail. Seemed as though it would be simple but after I've done all the basics, it sets up the account on MobileMe instead of iCloud and there it stops. Can't send or receive messages. I'm lost!  Advice?

    I do have an iCloud account and have since October. I am trying to set up a second email address. Perhaps I'm asking Mail to do more than it's equipped to do.
    I have set up an alias with the new email address through my existing iCloud account. However, when I test sending and receiving, the emails to and from the new address are in the same list as my regular Mail. Not sure this helps with my desire to separate the two! Perhaps I'm still doing something wrong.
    I do appreciate your help.

    Have you double checked all of the settings? .... The outgoing mail server setting? Make sure that your username and password are in there.
    Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.

  • I have put my daughter's iphone under my apple id, as after i entered the payment info there was a message saying she wasn't allowed an account (too young) how do i set up her own email account etc

    I have put my daughter's iphone under my apple id, as after i entered the payment info there was a message saying she wasn't allowed an account (too young) how do i set up her own email account etc

    You have to be 13yrs. of age or older to have an iTunes account. So, if you want your daughter to have her own account, what you need to do is create another Apple ID for yourself. You can create one here:
    https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/wa/createAppleId
    Must be a verified email address...you can get a free Gmail account first. Then, when setting up the iTunes account, redeem an itunes gift card rather than using a credit card. That way, she'll have her own account, which you can monitor, but its not associated with any credit card.

    You got a new laptop? try asking there or in Lion forum.
    If it has Lion, use the Recovery Mode boot Command-R
    Use that to erase and reinstall - it has network install ability.
    Want MacBook Pro forum or Lion Community?

    How do I set up a 2nd email address in iCloud? When it was mobile me, I could have 3 addresses. Can I have 2 with iCloud?

    You must be talking about email aliases.  Log into icloud.com with a browser, go to the email page and click the cog wheel icon in the upper right.  Go to preferences>accounts.  YOu can define aliases there.  Note that they must now be @icloud.com named emails.

  • How do I add a second email account in ICloud mail

    How do I add a second email account to my iCloud mail, like a POP account?

    I talked with Apple and they have taken away the ability to check other email addresses on iCloud like you could in MobileMe via POP or whatever.
    Not sure why I would use iCloud if I can't check all of my email there, and I'm certainly not going to configure four POP accounts on my phone, my laptop, ipad, and work computer...
    Bummer...I'm going back to Gmail.

    I am trying to set up a second iTunes account on my PC, but it asks me if I want to update or replace my current account.  I do not want to do either of these, but rather, set up a second account.  Is this possible?  If so, how do I do it?  Thank you.
