How to change mail providers

I want to drop earthlink for a different mail provider, like gmail.
But I want to continue receiving mail in the apple mail box.
How do I get the providers swapped and receive the "new" mail
without messing up?
Any advice greatly appreciated.
OS 10.4.11
Mail 2.1.3

Hi, on't delete or mess with the Earthink account yet.
I suggest setting up a gMail IMAP account, but POP will work if you prefer.

IOS 7 How to change Mail signature to different font/etc?

At one point in time, I had a custom email signature in iOS which featured a different font, size and color - no images or HTML. I had added this by sending the text to be used in an email and simply went into the settings in iOS/Mail and pasted it into the signature field. This worked. It absolutely did. In all new emails, I had this really nice looking Helvetica Neue looking signature.
At some point, I went in to edit this nice signature a bit and lost this capability completely. I've just wasted an entire afternoon attempting to do the same and research how/why this is no longer working - to no avail.
Anyone out there have any experience with this?

I found a post here that solved the issue for me: http://www.bynkii.com/archives/2013/09/stupid_ios_mail_signature_tric.html
All you do is paste in your rich content and then shake to undo the formatting changes and it magically looks the way you intended.

How to change mail-enabled security group to security group

Hi,
As a test I have configured on the properties page of a security group an email adres. By doing this converted a security group to a mail-enabled security group. Also this group has been transferd to Office 365. But after testing I want to make the distribution
groups on the Exchange in Office 365. So I deleted the emaila dres of the security group, but it still synchronized to Office 365 as a mail-enabled security group. How can I change in AD the mail-enabled security group to a security group?
Thanks in advance

Hi StijnS,
For the O365 question there are Office 365 technical forums available at

How to change Mail settings to show mails in HTML or text ?

Hi,
I am using SL10.8,
I somehow changed the mail viewing setting in Mail app to display all mails in text, now html mails loks quite ugly, and I couln't find the option to change this.
please help

I am using a Mac Mini with OS 10.8.5. I have the same problem with Mail and HTML images — in particular an email in the form of a grid with concert dates and venues, which displays correctly in webmail in my browser, but in Mail appears as a continuous unformatted and unpunctuated text.
I have just tried your first Terminal command, and this is what appears:
Michaels-Mac-mini:~ MichaelGraubart$ defaults read com.apple.mail PreferPlainText
2014-12-15 18:45:33.458 defaults[27374:707]
The domain/default pair of (/Users/MichaelGraubart/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Preferen ces/com.apple.mail, PreferPlainText) does not exist
Michaels-Mac-mini:~ MichaelGraubart$
Can you suggest anything else I could try? I should be very grateful.

How to change mail check rate?

Is there a way on the iPad 3 to change the rate at which the e-mail program polls the (in this case my own) server to check mail? I'd like to set it to check mail less often to avoid collisions with other mail clients on the POP3 server.

Try settings / mail, contacts, calendar and then the option about half way down 'fetch new mail'.
Hope this is what you mean.

How to change job scheduler report....

How to change mail delivery and mail notification to another mail address for job report scheduled?
thanks

In order to turn this off you will have to go to eprint settings within eprint center, it should be just below the printer. From here you must set it to Allowed Senders Only, and then enter each email you want on the list. From here there is actually a checkbox for each address to turn notifications on or off.
Unfortunately this only works on allowed senders lists, if it is set to everyone you will get the generic response thanking you for using HP eprint. Another advantage however is that it gives you detailed information on why a job has failed when it is set to Allowed Senders.

How to change an e-mail sub-account password?

Our e-mail has been hacked. I recently changed my password but don't know how to change my spouse's sub-account password.

Your email account passwords are administered with your email provider. You have to work with them to change the account password. Most providers have a link to reset passwords on their email help page.
This page tells you how to remove and replace stored passwords in Thunderbird after changing them with your provider.https://kb.wisc.edu/page.php?id=19006

How to change my password and my incoming and outgoing mail servers

Hi I have used Outlook Express for years and I know how to configure "everything" I need within the settings pages because their settings pages are all "logical" with everything out in the open.
However, Thunderbird "hides" their settings behind buttons and confusing screens.
There are many tutorials that explain how to set up Thunderbird from the beginning, and show how to set up a new email account. But I have not been able to find a tutorial on how to change my email account password "after" I have been using Thunderbird for awhile.
I also see no way to change the incoming and outgoing servers. For example, I have changed from one hosting company to another hosting company and I need to use the new mail servers from the new hosting company and I do not see any tutorials anyplace that cover ongoing or day-to-day activities with Thunderbird.
Can you please change your settings screens to make Thunderbird easier for new people to find these normal and necessary items?
Also can you please point me to a tutorial that shows me how to change my email account password and change my incoming and outgoing servers?
Thanks so much!
Edward

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You can only purchase content on the Kazakhstani store because you created your Apple ID on that country. To change the country, see "Change your iTunes Store country" > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1311?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

I have changed my e-mail address and therefore need to change my apple ID. When I change it to my new address it says it is already my rescue address and cannot be used. Any ideas how to change my rescue address?

To change the iCloud ID ("email address") you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted. If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Having changed Mail in Lion to 'Classic Layout', how does one change back?

Hi.
When I upgraded to Lion I didn't like the new layout of Mail, so I changed it back to the Snow Leopard-like 'Classic' layout.
I fancy giving the new layout another go now, so I've un-ticked Classic Layout in Preferences>Viewing, but it still doesn't look like it did when I first installed Lion, which had the two-line preview messages in a vertical column to the left of what I've always called the 'preview pane'.
What I have now is the two-line list above the preview pane.
I can find loads of tutorials on how to change the Lion Mail appearance back to Snow Leopard, but I can't find anything to do the reverse and arrange everything in vertical columns again. Nothing seems to leap out at me in Mail Preferences, and I'm a bit lost.
Can anyone please advise? I'm sure it is a dead simple thing to do, but I can't work it out...

Cancel that...
I went back to Classic, and then came back out of it, and I had the vertical column arrangement again.
It was definitely horizontal the first time I un-ticked Classic, honest!

Does anyone know how to change where incoming (via mail) calendar requests go on my MacBook? Mine insist on going to Entourage, which I don't use any more. I've tried setting the default calendar in iCal preferences. Doesn't help. Bugs me. Can you help?

I know this email is confusing and really hard to understand...perhaps now you will know how i've been feeling--lost and confused with all the mis-information, with a hit and miss phone, and out of time with all the 1 1/2 hr to 2 hrs EACH wasted on this issue.
On top of all this, I can't even find out how to file a complaint with anyone higher up than Customer Service.
I hate to tell you this, but you didn't write an email. You wrote a discussion post on the Verizon Wireless Community forum which is a public peer to peer forum. Unfortunately since you didn't mark your post as a question, the VZW reps that roam this community won't ever see your post. Before you re-post it, don't. Duplicate posts get removed from the community.
I see there were several missteps both by the reps and yourself in your post. First you should have insisted on returning the phone within the 14 day return policy period. Second which Samsung Galaxy mini model did you purchase? The S3 mini or the S4 mini? Did you do any research prior to deciding on this device. The reps at that time deflected the easiest course of action, by trying to get you to replace the phone under insurance instead of returning the phone. The Early Edge payment option requires the current phone on the line using the early Edge must be returned to Verizon Wireless. Did you once considered going to a third party site like Swappa to purchase a gently used device for your daughter?

How to change e-mail address in iCloud IMAP

how to change e-mail address in iCloud IMAP. i have to change it to another e-mail address.
please help
please find in image.

Welcome to the Apple community usama.butt.
Unfortunately you cannot change an iCloud mail address once you have created it. You can however use an iCloud alias which you can set up at iCloud.com.
To create an alias.....
Navigate to the Mail feature at iCloud.com and click on the gear icon in the bottom left corner. Choose Preferences from the drop down menu, then select accounts from the options across the top, here you can create your alias.
