  • How do I set up iMessage so I can send messages from my iPad to my iPhone using the same apple id

    I am trying to set up iMessage so I can send and receive messages on my iphone 5 and my iPad using the same apple id.

    I assume that you want to keep the same Apple ID on both devices for downloads and purchases but you just want to know how you can use Messages on both devices without creating a new Apple ID.
    On one of the two devices ....Settings>Messages>Send and Receive at>You can be reached by iMessage at>add another email address ... and enter another working email address. After you enter the email address and it is verified by Apple, go to the InBox of that email account, read the email from Apple and follow the instructions to complete the verification. Then go back to the settings and remove your Apple ID email address. You will now use that new email address at the contact at email address for messages on that device.
    You can keep your Apple ID email address and use that one on the other device.

  • How can I set up imessage on iPhone to send messages from the name of number but not e-mail.

    I can set up iMessage on Macbook to send from the name of number, but can't do it on my iPhone after upgrading to 6.1

    If your iPhone and iPad are both running iOS 6, and your iPhone successfully registered it's phone number in Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, all you should have to do on your iPad is go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and sign in with the same Apple ID you are using on your phone. 
    If it is, and it still isn't working, try going to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in.

  • When I send a Group message from my address book, the entire group gets listed in the "To" line. How do I get each member to receive the message individually without listing all members? Its just messy is all.

    When I send a Group message from my address book, the entire group gets listed in the "To" line. How do I get each member to receive the message individually without listing all members? Its just messy is all. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Hey Grupo Castillo,
    Thanks for the question. You can actually configure this behavior from Mail preferences:
    1. Choose Preferences from the Mail menu.
    2. Click Composing.
    3. Deselect the checkbox for "When sending to a group, show all member addresses".
    When you send an email to the group, only the groups name will be seen.

  • How do I set up Apple Mail so I can send email from my domain name?

    Until now, I've used Gmail to collect and respond to mail from my website.  How can I set up Apple to do this?  Dummy version please! And thank you.

    My domain is hosted. My host provides my account with so many permitted email accounts. My email account, therefore, is set up on my host as: first_name@domain_name.com. In Mail you configure the incoming and outgoing mail servers as provided by your hosting service. In my case they are: mail.domain_name.com. The email username is my email account - first_name@domain_name.com. Of course you would have a password to access your mail account. Your account should be an IMAP account.
    Now, if you plan to use iCloud.com for your mail, then the setup requires the server addresses: iCloud- Mail server settings for email clients. Your email account is usually your Apple ID and password.

  • Mail does not send emails out of address book under Mavericks

    Since I upgradet to Mavericks I cannot drag and drop addresses from the address book into mail to send them out. Anybody a solution or idea? Thank you!

    Sorry, new mail program deleted that function.  Start to type the person name or group name in the email and it will fill in the rest.

  • How can I set up Apple Mail to display the sender's "from icon" in the header info?

    Hi,
    I have gone into the preferences to set up custom headers, so that the icon sent to me from the email sender will display in the header, but do not see an option for this.  I want to do this for Comcast as a source specifically, as they embed an icon in their official emails and I have been receiving phishing  emails from sender pretending to be Comcast.  Comcast states on their website, that you can see their icon in any mail they send, however, this does not happen on my version of Apple Mail (4.5).
    Here is an image of the info shown on the Comcast website, in case that helps to clarify my question.
    Thanks,
    Kim

    On the Internet Accounts System prefs choose Add Other account…
    Pick Mail account.
    On the first page where you enter username and password, hold down the Option key and the Create button will change to Next. Click that with Option held down.
    You can then manually create the account.

  • How do I see a list of all my Apple Mail contacts. I do not use address book. I just want to see all the email addresses stored on my Mac

    Hi All,
    I have been using Mail for the past three years without need to send a regular mailing list mailout.
    I now need to send group emails and all I want to do is browse my contacts aquired over the last three years to create a list. I have not used Address Book for anything other than phone contacts so please do not point me in that dirrection.
    There must be a list of all email contacts stored somewhere on the Mac that I can look through. It is an almost impossible task to do this by browsing my inbox/sent folders.
    Hope you can help and thanks in advance!
    Best

  • Apple Mail can never send messages!

    I have a gmail account that I view through Apple Mail. Anytime I try to send a message to someone, I get this error.
    "Cannot send message using the serve smtp.gmail.com:[email protected]
    Use the pop-up menu below to try a different outgoing mail server. All messages will use this server until you quit Mail or change your Network settings.
    Message from : <[email protected]>
    Send Message using: smtp.gmail.com:[email protected]
    Options: Cancel, Use Selected Server, or Try Again Later."
    Ususally, I click Use Selected Server and it works but sometimes it doesn't. First of all, it should work the first time around and never give me this message. Secondly, even after the second attempt it's not 100% reliable.
    What's wrong?
    P.S.

    Never Mind. Fixed it.
    Apple Mail users: At times, Mail may misinterpret your SMTP server settings. If you currently have 'smtp.gmail.com:[email protected]' in the 'Outgoing Mail Server:' field of your settings, please try changing the field to 'smtp.gmail.com' and saving your settings.

  • Mail 8.2 Sending Messages from Wrong Email Account

    This has been happening more often than not lately on the Mail 8.2 app. It's driving me crazy, and really messing up my business since I have a professional email (using Outlook) and a personal email (Gmail).
    Both email accounts are setup on my Mac Mail. What has been happening is that when I write an email with my professional email (Outlook) and hit send everything seems fine and it will send (like it should!). It shows up in my sent messages in the Mac Mail app under my Outlook account and everything, great!... Oh, but the thing is, it doesn't really send from my Outlook account.
    When I log into my Outlook account on my web browser, the email is not shown to have been sent. But, When I log into my Gmail account on the web... What?! There is the message in my Gmail sent folder! How??? It has my signature from my Outlook account and everything. To add to the strangeness, when I look at my Mail app on my iPhone, it says that the email was sent from my Gmail, and not my Outlook...
    So, Mail on my Mac says sent from intended email account (Outlook), but in reality it somehow gets magically sent from my personal Gmail account... and shows up on the webpages and my iPhone as sent form Gmail... This doesn't happen every time. Just when Mail feels like it I guess, HA!
    This is frustrating. Since it doesn't happen all the time, I never know if people are getting my emails, but I finally got the fluke to happen with a friend. Voila, in fact when this happens even though it's being sent in Mail though my Outlook account, my friend receives the email from my Gmail account with my Outlook signature...
    What is going on? Is anyone else having this issue?
    I need my personal and professional messages synced to my iPhone and Mac, or I would just say good riddance to the Mac Mail app.
    I will just have to start sending my professional messages form the Outlook webpage until this is fixed. This is really unprofessional Apple. I never had this issue prior to Yosemite.
    Hope this made since, it's the best I can make of it.
    Thanks!

    From the Mail menu bar, select
              Mail ▹ Preferences...
    The Mail preference dialog opens. Select the Composing tab from the row of icons at the top. From the menu labeled
              Send new messages from:
    choose
              Account of selected mailbox
    Note that this setting may have no effect if you start a new message while a VIP or smart mailbox is selected in the mailbox list. Those are saved searches, not actual mailboxes.
    If the problem remains, select the Accounts tab in the preference dialog, then select the affected account in the list on the left.
    In the Account Information pane, select the correct server in the menu labeled
              Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)
    If there's only one server in the menu, select
              Edit SMTP Server List...
    and add a new server with the correct settings. If you're not sure how to do that, try the Mail Settings Lookup.
    Another possibility is that the wrong card in your address book is selected as yours. Select your card in the Contacts application. Then select
              Card ▹ Make This My Card
    from the menu bar.

  • Mail doesn't show names from the Address Book

    When receiving emails from people who appear in my Address Book - the "From" field still shows default names set by the senders, instead of showing the names as they appear in my Address Book.
    When composing a new email though - Mail does recognize the names
    Is there a way to enforce mail to replace the names shown?
    Thanks,
    Fade.

    Greetings,
    Is there a way to enforce mail to replace the names shown?
    No, there is no way to do this. The "From:" field will always be exactly what is specified by the account of the person sending you the email, even if you don't have it that way in Address Book. That is perfectly normal and is valid for every email client I've ever used.
    The only reason you see the name you have in Address Book when sending an email is because you sent email to that person before, so it's drawing that information from the Previous Recipient list.

  • Mail doesn't recognize contacts from my address book

    After installing snow leopard it seems that the Mail application doesn't recognize names that are in my address book. For instance when I start a new email, I will start typing a name in the "to" field, where it used to guess the contacts name it no longer does this. I have about 1800 names in my address book, do I have to introduce these to the mail application one by one in order for it to recognize them?
    Thanks for any help you can give.

    To be more clear (in hopes you can get it to work!) :
    Under Mail -> Preferences -> Composing
    1. Be sure to CHECK the box that says autocomplete addresses under the Addressing heading.
    2. Quit Mail and restart.
    If that doesn't work then I would suggest quitting Mail and trashing the Preference file (~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist). Then restart Mail and make sure the box is checked as above and restart Mail. Note that all preferences will be reset to the default and you may need to reconfigure Mail the way you like it. You can always drag the plist file back and restart Mail.app to restore your previous settings.

  • How to send message to entire Address Book

    I recently got a new email address and wondered if there is an easy way to send a message (in Mail) to everyone in my Address Book. The only Group in my Address Book is "All" - can I send a message to All somehow? Thanks.

    Create a new group. Drag your contacts into the group folder. When you create the email select the group as the recipient and drag it to the To: field of the email message.
