This is doing EXACTLY what I would expect it to.
You need Lion for iCloud which it should warn you when you do the me.com/move routine.
It's still fixable though:

  • I want to use Mac Mail for my work email address, which containts multiple outbound options (i.e. hr@, me@ etc). Is there a way to set up Mac Mail to have an account with multiple outbound addresses rather than adding in multiple accounts?

    This sounds like the age old problem with keychain & Safari. I don't know of a way to solve it without using something like 1Password.
    The iOS app has it's own built in browser, so it has more control over what gets autofilled. Safari on OS X has an 1Password extension that handles account selection & autofill etc.
    Keychain is great in principle, but it quickly falls down when you need tight integration with many ID's & different use cases (work, home etc).
    I'd suggest you submit feedback to Apple about your thoughts. I did so years ago about this issue & this is how far we have come (back to the point where me.com synced passwords) :^)
    http://apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
    Other tools like lastpass or keypassx may also help if you want to truly segregate password storage, but that doesn't fix autofill, the way around that issue is to dedicate one browser for work.

  • Using Mac Mail for Gmail - controlling which folders to sync

    Using Mac Mail app for my Gmail, is there a way to control which folders I'm syncing with?  I have 90k+ archived messages, which I don't need to have on my desktop.  Is there a way to keep that from syncing?

    Go into the Gmail web portal and open Settings. Go to Labels tab and set it to not show those folders in IMAP.

  • Trouble connecting using Mac mail for Office 365

    Microsoft says OS 10.9.4 is not supported for an exchange mail account for Mac Mail.  I'm using OSX 10.9.4 and Mac Mail 7.3 and previously had an exchange account but upgraded to Office 365 through my workplace. I was able to send and receive but now the connection doctor is saying the Exchange  account "Could not connect to this Exchange server. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the Account preferences. Also verify that the server supports SSL. If it does not, deselect the 'Use SSL' checkbox in the Advanced tab.
    The problem I've having as well is that the emails are not saved in my sent folder. The only settings that haven't been updated are under the 'Advanced' settings which are: Internal Server Path, Internal Port, External Server Path, External Port.

  • I have the premier elements 3.0 version.  I have been using it successfully for years and have never

    I have been using it for years with success.  Recently I had a proplem with opening the program.  I brought it to Best Buy.  They fixed it and I can make the movies but I can not burn a DVD.  I get a message, " cannot initialize  the DVD burner engine".  Can you help me.

    >cannot initialize  the DVD burner engine
    That MAY be related to the information in the links below
    These notes are (mostly) for Encore, but since the disc burning module inside Premiere Elements is also licensed from Roxio, the steps and ideas are the same for PE
    As well as the below, right click the program icon and select Run as Administrator, which is NOT the same thing as running the computer with the Administrator account, and which fixes several "odd" problems... To create a two layer DVD (or a BluRay?), you MUST have Encore set to use the Run as Administrator option

  • Using Mac Mail for BT MyBT mail

    Since BT , in february 2014, changed from BT- Yahoo to BT Mail ( My BT) I have had problems using macmail.
    What the best solution / imap settings ?

    I have been running Mavericks since it was introduced and have had no problems with BT email. I recall that when BT changed its email system a few months ago, some configuration changes were necessary and these were specified by BT. Once the changes were made, everything worked perfectly. I will see if I can find the original instructions from BT and post them here.  Altenatively, take a look at the BT community forum and see if you can find an answer there:
    https://community.bt.com/t5/Email/bd-p/Email
    BT come in for a lot of flack but, given the very large number of subscribers, I suspect that most are quite content with what they get. Bear in mind that, apart from cable providers, all ISPs in the UK use a BT line and I doubt that BT facllitate a better service to their competitors than they can provide themselves.
    If you really cannot get on with BT email, then it is easy to set up an Outlook email account. These are free and have the advantage that, if you change your ISP, you do not have to change your email address. Actually, I recall that you can keep your BT email address if you move away from BT. However, you have to log in something like once a month to keep it active. This sounds easy except that you have to do this by dial-up, and iMacs, at least, do not have dial-up modems. Hmm, maybe I'll think again about how good BT is!

    It sounds like you might need to contact Yahoo! if you aren't able to setup your email account as a new account after deleting it.

  • Email password being rejected using Mac mail

    I have a strange issue using mac mail on a mac mini running snow leopard. It is actually my Mom's computer. She calls me over from time to time when her email gives her problems. Usually it amounts to resetting the modem or some other simple fix. Today however not so easy!
    This issue came up out of the blue earlier this week. A message came from mail asking her to re-enter her password since the server (charter.net) was rejecting it. She attempted to re-enter it along with a variety of other addresses she had written down and eventually gave up. In this process she also restarted her modem. Today is Friday so it's been a few days with no connection to her email server. This is all her recounting so I am not certain exactly what transpired.
    I confirmed a conection with the internet first. re-entered the correct password and got the same message. Then I tried the Username & password via a web interface and got in first try. So I started up an old email client (Entourage) that had been set up from years ago (as a POP account) and it to accessed the server with no problem. At that point I deleted the account in mac mail & recreated it...same message. I then reset the keycahin and deleted/recreated the account again...same message. To rule out POP vs IMAP I tried creating a POP account in mac mail since the original was IMAP....same message. I am at a loss.
    For now I reintroduced her to Entourage so she could access her mail. It was abbandoned a couple of years ago since it had been the source of too much confusion for her (she tends to click on things changing views etc without realizing how or what she has done).
    Until this, the simplicity of mac mail was working pretty well for her.
    Any ideas of what the cause might be or what else I could try would be appreciated.

    I installed iCloud on the iPad
    K, that wasn't clear in your original posting.  You left that part out.
    Are you saying this would be fixed if I upgraded to Mountain Lion?
    That is not what I said.  What I should have said is that the OS requirements for iCloud are Lion & Mountain Lion.
    The following are keychain troubleshooting that you may wish to try: Use Spotlight to search for a file called login.keychain.
    Users/YourUserName/Library(which is a hidden folder and won't show in Finder)/Keychains.
    Click Go in the menu bar then Go to Folder and type in /Users/YourUserName/Library and hit the enter key. Look down the list of folder and find Keychains. The "login.keychain" file should be inside.
    Cures for a funky keychain
