HT1277 I want to set up my email composition with a default me@alumni.myschool.edu address that is different from my ISP. How do I configure? Command line OK with me.
Hi everyone,
I want to set up my email composition with a default [email protected] address in the "Reply-to" field that is different from my ISP. How do I configure mail to set this default?
I have looked through the help and fail to see an option in the Preferences -> Compose window.
I am OK with UNIX Command line tasks if that is the only way to set this default.
Basically I have an alumni email redirection service, which is an address that never changes, even if I change ISP. That way all my friends can use it an never change. However, they tend to use whatever ISP address is, not what I have asked them to use.
I want to force emails I send to default to my alumni address when my friends reply, not my ISP address. I want control over this.

Email preferences --> select Account --> Account Information tab --> Email address.
The Email address setting supplies the "from" mail address in a sent email for that account.
I been doing this for years (well in Eudora but it works in Mail too) since my return address is a mail forwarding service. That lets me switch ISP's and no one is ever the wiser. I just change the forwarding service "pointer" to point to my new ISP. But everyone else see sees the same "from" address as it's always been.

The iPad doesn't seem to want to set up an email for a "group" in my Contacts. When I type the name of a group in the "To:" line of a new message on my iMac, all the email addresses of the group automatically appear. Not so with my iPad. Help?
Apparently Groups are not supported in the Mail App on the iPad. Read this thread and see Michael Morgan's post for a workaround.

My boss has an IPhone from a different carrier than my iPhone. I want to set up iMessage so we can text each other for free. Is that possible? If so, what do I do to my phone and/or hers to set it up?
Just turn on iMessage... Settings > Messsages > iMessage > On
Note that iMessage uses data (very small amount) so you need a cellular data (3G/4G) or wifi connection for iMessagae to work. Also, in the Messages app, iMessages are blue and standard text messages are green. -
How I download a MP4 series of videolectures (that the seller has stored in Amazon S3 and has sent to my iPad email address--which is different from the one I use from the MacBookPro) from my iPad to my MacBookPro (so that I can the save them in iTunes and then synchronize some of the videolectures to the iPad?)
To set it up as POP you need to delete the account, reboot the phone by holding the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time until an Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds), then add it back following these instructions: Forcing creation of a POP or IMAP email account
I understand that you have used the same account for many years, but the technology is also changing constantly. Years ago the standard was POP (Post Office Protocol), which was designed at a time when it was inconceivable that anyone would access their email from more than one device. When people started using multiple devices, for the most part they wanted to see changes on one device mirrored on another. A new standard, IMAP (Internet Mail Access Protocol) was developed. With iMAP the master copy of all messages resides on a server, and multiple devices are kept in sync with the server. So if you delete a message from one device it is removed from the server, and then removed from all other devices when they next sync. This is the same way Microsoft Exchange works. Other benefits of IMAP include the ability to have multiple mail folders that are kept in sync across devices. In your case you could use this to create a separate folder for each family member, so they could move messages to their own folder and not clutter up the shared Inbox. Most computer mail readers can even automatically sort incoming mail into folders based on the contents of the message.
IMAP is considered a "higher level" standard than POP. When you create a mail account iOS devices query the server and ask what it supports; if it says it supports IMAP then the account is automatically configured for IMAP. So if you really want POP you must fool it, as described in the link above. In my experience Android devices default to the highest level protocol also, and I suspect newer Blackberries do (although it has been 15 years since I used a BB). -
How to remove the old email address that was hacked from my iCloud account when iCloud won't let me?
How to remove the old email address that was hacked from my iCloud account when iCloud won't let me?
Pretty much the the email that I used (but didn't verify) to create my iCloud account was hacked and now I can't remove it from my iCloud account due to the iCloud password also being changed by the same person and the fact I had "Find my iPhone" app on my phone also??? I had to change my iTunes email as well but that was far easier so yeah :S.
Please help. I live in NZ, out in the country, so reception is rare and so is getting into the nearest town that has an Apple Store.
ThanksIf you truly change your existing Apple ID's email address to a new email address, follow these instructions: iOS 7: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
If you created a whole new Apple Account because you couldn't access the old one after being hacked, you will need to contact the Apple Account Security Team. Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security -
My iCloud is defaulting to an old Hotmail address that I no longer use, my apple ID is currently functioning fine with a gmail account. I'm not able to change my iCloud email on my phone or on desktop... Any advice?
You would have to change your Apple ID back to your old hotmail address (https://appleid.apple.com ) in order to turn off "Find My iPhone" and change the iCloud ID. After you changed it back and verified your old hotmail address you should be able turn off "Find My iPhone" and to temporarily delete your iCloud account from your devices. After that you can change your Apple ID back to your gmail address again. After it is verfied, you could add back your iCloud account by using your gmail address.

Hi. I am new to using an iPad. I have set up an icloud email address for use by all the family.. I want to set up my own as my pop email does not seem to work well on this apple platform. I have tried to self help but I'm being asked to access the icloud mail preferences. I can't seem to do that. When I go into my mail app it takes me straight to my in box. I can't find a way of accessing preferences. Can someone help please?
An Alias would be an email address that is delivered to a different account's inbox.
For instance if you have [email protected] and have [email protected] Then [email protected] would be an alias if mails from that address arrive at the icloud address.
If you want to add a completely different account, with a spearate inbox, like an account in hotmail and one in say yahoo mail. Then as has been pointed out, you need to go into the Settings Icon, Tap on Mail, Contacts, Calendars, and then on add account. The iPad has several services preconfigured, you can tap on one of those from the list to setup an email for that service. Such as Hotmail, Gmail etc...
Or you can tap on other to add a personal pop3 or imap type email like from your office, or your school. -

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

I can't set up my email on my ipod touch. It keeps saying I have to use a valid email address for this account. Help!
Hi Annie,
Make sure when you are setting up your e-mail account that you enter in your entire e-mail address. If you have a Yahoo (includes any e-mail account associated with Yahoo), G-mail, or Aol after entering in your password it should automatically set up. Any other e-mail address you will have to manually set the account up. -

PDF/X-3:2 (PDF 1.3): Destination differs from Output Intent; how to set Destination -
Hello.
In InDesign CS5 (7.0), I set up a document containing greyscale images (profile: Dot Gain 15%) and cmyk-images (profile: Euroscale Coated v2). The latter is also the working space, and it is also the Output Intent Profile Name set in the Export Adobe PDF Dialog under Output – PDF/X. The Colour Settings in the .indd set the Colour Management Policies to Preserve Embedded Profiles (and Colour Conversion is set to No).
Now, when exporting this .indd to a .pdf (PDF/X-3:2 (PDF 1.3)), the Summary tells me that the Destination is ISO Uncoated Yellowish, and Acrobat (View – Navigation Panels – Standards) feels:
Conformance:
Standard: PDF/X-3:2002
ISO Name: ISO 15930-3
Status: verification succeeded
Trapped:False
OutputIntent
Identifier: ISO Uncoated Yellowish
Info: ISO Uncoated Yellowish
—so what was Destination in the export settings now appears as Output Intent, meaning: the Destination overrides the OutputIntent as set in the export settings.
I have no idea where this ISO Uncoated Yellowish comes from. As far as I can see, nothing, neither in the placed content, nor in the document, has this profile set.
In a second document, with the exact same settings as specified above and the only difference that it contains only greyscale images. In this case, Acrobat sees the Identifier as FOGRA1 (which is indeed the (greyed out, unchangeable) setting in the export Dialog's Output – PDF/X – Output Condition Identifiert—but that is the case in the first document, too), and the Info as Euroscale Coated v2. This seems correct, but why might "ISO Uncoated Yellowish" appear in the first case, and how would I get rid of it and set the correct Destination?
Thanks a lot.No, it isn't a colour space, but there's still grey profiles, specifying e.g. the dot gain.
Links panel does list the gray profiles, but they're not used in anyway.
If you assign different gray profiles in Photoshop the gray profile makes the conversion back to monitor RGB for preview. So here's the same image with 10% and 30% dot gain in Photoshop and the previews are very different even though the output values are the same:
If I place the two images in ID and turn on overprint the previews are identical (the output values are also identical)—via the document CMYK profile, which is EuroScale here. The preview would be the same if you pasted the grayscale into the black channel of a CMYK document:
If I export the ID doc as PDF/X-4 which includes all profiles, the grayscales show as DeviceGray (no profile): -
Have just purchased an iPhone 5c and have been trying to set an email account on it. Under the menus I have gone in for an "Other". Having enetered the email address and password the phone automatically sets up an IMAP account and I need it to be a POP3 account - I am not being given the option. What is going wrong?
POP3 is considered obsolete. In this age of multiple mobile devices, computers, etc. POP3 creates more problems than it solves. IMAP allows for full synchronization of the entire mailbox and all folders with all client devices. If you read a message on one, it will be marked as read on all client devices. If you delete it or move it on one, the change will be reflected on all devices (and the server, of course). POP3 requires that the message store be managed manually on all devices and can sometimes prevent you from being able to retrieve the message on more than one device at all.

Were you previously loading Windows Live Mail in an earlier version of Firefox or in Internet Explorer?
If it was Firefox 3.6, either your settings did not carry over or an add-on associated with this function was incompatible and therefore disabled.
If it was IE, do you want to continue using IE as your default browser? -
Setting up new email accounts and SSL defaulting to be ON
SSL is defaulted as ON when you set up a new email account on iPad but many ISPs don't use SSL, and when you create a new email account Verification takes FOREVER because iPad can't verify the acccount until you turn SSL OFF. But there's no way to turn it off until iPad tries to verify, with SSL ON, itself.
Finally you'll get an error message that the server doesn't use SSL (DUH) and you get a popup that asks if you want to turn SSL off.
You click YES and the verification got thru instantly which is what should have happened in the first place.
The SSL ON/OFF switch should be on the first of the set up pages so you can turn it off and not have to wait endlessly for iPad to figure out the server doesn't use SSL.
If you have a number of email accounts to set up on your iPad, I have 5, this was burdensome and should be addressed in an iOS update IMHO.Choose Hotmail for Hotmail and Other for the other one.
The phone will try to determine the server addresses automatically. If it can't you'll be asked for them. If you don't know them you'll have to contact the email provider and ask.
