HT201342 Trouble linking iCloud E-Mial with my PC E-Mail app

Having trouble linking iCloud E-Mial with my PC E-Mail app.  When I created the new iCloud user name I couldn't use my current Apple ID (@comcast.net) it required me to use a @iCloud.com address. I was never asked for a password for this new account but it did say this was created under my original Apple ID somehow.  I got all of the server settings off of the support site and used the password for my original Apple ID but it doesn't work.  Any ideas on where to go from here?
Thanks.

After a series of tests with the Thunderbird users, we've established the problem was not:
Mail/Thunderbird incompatibility
related to Mail's stationery
related to styled text
only because of attachments
only because of PDF attachments
Both users had the trouble after I forwarded PDFs to them from two different outside suppliers. So far, my theory is that there was something about those particular files. After five run-throughs where the co-workers had no problems with e-mail from me, I now want to replicate the problem, but (understandably) they're not eager to lose their work time to do it. I'll post more as I learn more.
Thanks, BDAqua for the ideas about blank lines around the attachment.

  • Problems with pdf attachments in Mail.app

    Any pdf attachment in Mail.app says it's empty and when I double click it says it can't be opened ´cause it's empty. The thing is on Windows using Thunderbird (yes I know, I've spoken the name that can't be spoken) the same attached pdf shows normally.
    I have no antivirus in the mac, or any type of filtering. In fact, Mavericks was clean installed about a month ago. Attachments arrive from Gmail. From the Gmail web interface, the file is fine and opens normally.
    Any ideas?

    Hi Krischi,
    sounds good (for you).
    What do you mean exactly by "deleted iCloud"?
    I do experience the problem not only with my iCloud mail account, but with all others also.
    Are you sure you have 7.0"3"? For me it says 7.02 is the newest and current version.
    Brgds,

    Hi Peter,
    Writing my post I made an mistake! I deleted my app CloudOn instead of iCloud and as soon I did it, I could handle my PDF attachment as before using iOS5.x!
    The reason for this might be the fact, that CloudOn currently, according to the AppStore, is not upgraded to iOS 7.0.2!
    Regarding iOS 7.0.3 it was a typo! I'm using 7.0.2
    Hope that helps

  • Having trouble removing a student email account from the Windows Mail App because the school has started using office 365 for thier email which i dont have access to

    I was wondering if anybody has any ideas on how to remove a gmail account that was set up by a community college for use on their mail servers and then find out that after awhile they have locked you out because they have started using office 365 for their
    emails and you are left with a student email account that you have no idea how to delete because you have missied out on deleting it before they changed to a different email provider?
    Anybody with ideas please help because I don't know what to do

    Hi,
    Regarding to Windows Mail App, do you mean the Modern UI App in Windows 8.1? Do you mean that you want to remove the email account from Mial App? Generally, we can simply remove the account by the "Account" option in Mail App (Open Mail App, move
    the mouse the right chram bar, click Account, then click the mail account\Remove account), but if the email acocunt is tied with the Microsoft Account which is used on the pc, in that case, it is unavailable to remove the email account, you need to contact
    your college to disconnect the Microsoft Account.
    If I'm misunderstanding something, please free correct me.

  • Please help with setting up native mail app using Gmail with alternate email address

    I have an alternative email address setup such as [email protected] configured to use with my online Gmail account.  In the online account, I use the alternate email services smtp server so emails are sent correctly from that alias.
    Is there a way to setup the native mail app to use Gmail for mail, contacts, and calendar and use an alternate email address as the sender?  Right now I am syncing contacts and the calendar through the native mail app and using the Gmail mail app for my email.  It allows you to select from all of the emails setup on the Gmail account. 
    But for simplicity sake, I would like to consolidate to the native email app for all of my accounts - I also have an Exchange based work account.
    Thank you for the help.

  • Gmail iPhone app & mailto links, "Mail Link to This Page", etc. / Send-only Mail app account

    Is it possible to handle mailto links & the like (e.g., "Mail Link to This Page" option in Safari) with the Gmail iPhone app?
    If not, I would like to setup a Mail account for the inbuilt Apple iPhone Mail app, but only use it for outgoing messages.  I do not want it to download messages, as the Gmail app will already be doing this.  How can I setup the iPhone Mail app as send-only?  (specifically for a Gmail account)
    Thanks.

    Is this issue solved for you yet?
    I still have the same problem.
    Mail.app changes the configurations on my POP settings from "password" to "apop". Since I don't use "apop" I cannot receive mail. Further, after going through each mail account (about 20 of them) and changing them back to "password" and saving each account setting I attempted to receive mail again to no avail. So, I checked the account configurations again only to discover that mail.app will not save the account settings to "password" and is forcing the "apop" settings.

  • Gmail causing issues with other email using mail app

    I use the standard mail app for 3 hotmail accounts (with my own domain name) & a work exchange account (which I turn on and off as required). These work well on iPhone 4 & iPad3 using IOS5.1. 
    However, on adding a gmail account to the mail program I stop receiving all email on the hotmail accounts. As soon as I delete gmail on a device, that device I starts receiving hotmail emails.
    The solution for me was to delete the gmail account as I only set it up for analytics & don't need the mail. Although this issue would stop me switching to gmail full time.
    Has anyone else encountered this error & found a solution? 

    No, you can’t. Gmail doesn’t let mail to be downloaded twice by either the same or different POP mail clients.
    I believe .Mac actually handles something like this but I do not have it.
    Any IMAP account would allow you to do this. Actually, almost any POP account other than Gmail would also at least let you download the same mail on both computers. It’s just Gmail that doesn’t.

  • HT201304 Is there a way to restrict user access to find my ipad with out restricting the mail app?

    I am working on setting up multiple Ipad 2 tablets with iOS 5.1.1 and I need to restrict access to turn off find my ipad. The only way I see to do this is to turn on restrictions and dont allow changes on accounts. The issue I have then is it also restricts the Mail app setup. Is there a way to restrict one and not the other? We use microsoft exchange mail and I would be willing to use another mail app if anyone can suggest one that works as an alternative?
    Thank you.

    I don't know of any reliable tracking app, but perhaps someone else here can suggest one I'm not aware of. Any could be defeated by just restoring the iPad, though, so about all you could hope to do would be make things a bit more difficult to turn off. For a third-party app, you'd have to restrict the user's ability to uninstall apps, something which might be equally problematic for you.
    Regards.

  • A different sort of problem with GMail IMAP on Mail.app (Tiger)

    I setup my GMail account using IMAP under Mail.app (Tiger). At first it worked fine. But now it just hangs when I go to the Inbox. I get the clock or pie or whatever that is next to Inbox. In the Activity Monitor I see...
    [[email protected]] Performing pended
    Copying Message
    [INBOX - [email protected]] Opening mailbox...
    Opening mailbox...
    I have let these sit for hours (we're talking over 12) and it gets nowhere. I have removed the account, deleted the associated files under ~/Library, recreated and it just comes back. I can use Thunderbird without any problems at all.
    Any ideas what might have happened? I did uncheck saving drafts, trash, and junk on server as Google suggests.

    Try this to determine the scope of the problem:
    1. Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Accounts and create a new user account for testing purposes.
    2. Either log out of your main user account or just quit Mail so that it does not interfere with the other user account.
    3. Log in as the newly created user and set up the Gmail IMAP account there.
    4. Check whether the problem also happens when logged in as another user.
    <hr>
    Do you have any Mail plug-ins or system utilities that could interfere with Mail? In the Finder, go to each of the following folders (if they exist). What do you see there?
    /Library/StartupItems/
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/
    /Library/LaunchAgents/
    /Library/InputManagers/
    /Library/Mail/Bundles/
    ~/Library/LaunchAgents/
    ~/Library/InputManagers/
    ~/Library/Mail/Bundles/
    To make accurately reporting this information easier, you may open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal, type the following command (you can just copy it here and paste it in Terminal), and press <Return>. You can then copy the output of that command from Terminal and paste it in your reply to this post:
    ls -1 /Library/StartupItems /Library/LaunchDaemons /Library/LaunchAgents /Library/InputManagers /Library/Mail/Bundles ~/Library/LaunchAgents ~/Library/InputManagers ~/Library/Mail/Bundles
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the folder path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the folder path there.

  • Gmail / Replace Trash Button with Archive Button on Mail.app toolbar

    I'm using GMAIL IMAP for 4 separat email accounts.
    I'm used to the old way Mail.app handled email when I deleted it.  The message would disappear and be sorted into ALL MAIL.
    Noticed with Mavericks that when I deleted a message, it went into TRASH.  I could not use the USE THIS MAILBOX FOR feature to redirect deleted email to ALL MAIL as the command was greyed out.
    I replaced the DELETE command on the toolbar with the ARCHIVE command and now the messages I wish to remove are sorted to ALL MAIL.  Now I just have to remember NOT to push delete on my keyboard (habit).
    Wondering if I've found a solution and anyone else can verify?

    I'm experiencing the same thing. I strongly prefer the older behavior which is also consistent with iOS mail. People who don't notice this change may well lose mail, thinking pressing delete archives to all mail rather than moving messages to the trash.

  • INX file has trouble linking to folder names with certain characters?

    Hi!
    For technical reasons we have two folders and they have ”%0” at the end of their names.
    This seems to case problems for InDesign files that are saved using the interchange (INX) format – upon opening they complain about links to pictures that are in these folders. I can see that the links point to ”Logotypes” and ”Illustrations” when they should point to ”Logotypes%0” and ”Illustrations%0”.
    Anything that can be done?
    The links work fine when opening a ”normal” InDesign document that point to these folders.

    Hey Bob and thanks for your reply!
    Sounds like a good ideas, but what shall I change it to? In the .inx file I opened the path is ”correct” with the ”%0” at the end.
    I noticed now the problem is when opening the .inx file in InDesign 6 (CS4).
    The .inx file is created in InDesign 5 (CS3) and when opening it in InDesign CS4 the link problem with these folders occurs.
    If I open the .inx files in InDesign CS3 there's no problem with the links.

  • I am having trouble linking my Actiontec MR1424WR with my WRT54GL..help!!!

    I currently have Verizon FIOS, and I love it. It runs through an Actiontec MR1424WR wireless router(WEP encrypted). The only problem is that the wireless range sucks on it. So, today I bought the WRT54GL router, upgraded firmware to dd-wrt, connected it to my actiontec router, and the range problem was fixed. The new problem is that I dont get internet through the linksys router, but I get can get it through the Actiontec router(when in range). Can somebody walk me through on what I need to do or change to let my linksys router recieve the internet from the actiontec and be able to send out the internet to my computer.
    Setup
    Wall->Actiontec wireless Router->Linksys wireless Router->computer across the house wirelesly
    I know I will have to change some settings, but im not really sure which ones to change, or what to change them to.
    -BrendanMessage Edited by BJGPP on 06-15-200712:41 AM

    I fixed it myself.
    I just disabled the DHCP server on the linksys router and also change the ip address on from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254....everything is great now!

  • Is it possible to statically link the MFC lib with a Measuremen​t Studio App?

    I get the following link warnings, and the app jumps off to code-never-never-land (0xFFFE...)when it exits.

  • How do I change my icloud email that I use for the mail app and change it to a completely different icloud email and never have to see the other one again?

    How to change icloud emails on mail approach a completely different one

    You have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, 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 iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then 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.

  • Mail with iPhone 4 and Mail.app

    How can I get my mail on my Mac to "mirror" my mail on my iPhone. Whenever I use it on one, it doesnt work on the other and it doesnt do the changes I made to it with the other device. My email is a Windstream POP server. HELP!!!!

    You reset the phone. This wipes everything off from your mom.
    Then go to http://www.apple.com and set up your own Apple ID and password.
    Go back to the iPhone and enter your ID and password and the phone will not be under your mom.
    Good Luck
