HT201342 Why add this email?

I'm not sure what the advantage is of adding this @icloud email address...?
I would like a new email, because my @mac.com is getting a ton of spam from google groups, but if @icloud email just merges with the @mac email, how would this help? Thanks.

The @icloud.com and the @mac.com would be the same in box. what ever Mail you get to one address you get in the other. It's not duplicated, it actually uses the same mailbox for both. If you are getting a ton of spam, try making some rules in Apple Mail to have those thrown straight into the junk box.

  • I'm unable to add the email address for iMessage, that I was using before iOS 7 to my iPhone, because it says that it is "in use by another device," but I have no other devices.  How do I resolve this so I can add this email address to my iPhone?

    Sync your iPhone to iTunes, and see if that does the trick.  Also you could try a Soft Reset with no Risk to Data.  Holding down both the Sleep button and the Home button until the Apple logo appears and then waiting for the Reset to bring you iPhone back to the lock screen.    Are you trying to add the email at Settings>Messages>Send and Receive from (2 Addresses) your iPhone number and your email address?

  • HT201342 Why does this concern me and what are the advantages?

    Why does this concern me and what are the advantags to @Icloud.com?

    It is not an address change but an addition to your current @mac.com, @me.com email addresses.  Use whichever one you prefer.

  • HT202667 I don't know the password to my iCloud email account. My Apple and iTunes ID is not my iCloud email address. How do I find my iCloud password? I would like to add this email address to a mail app.

    I Downloaded an app that keeps all address' in one place. I went to add my iCloud email and when asked for my password, nothing I tried worked. It is obviously not the same password that I use to login to my Apple or iTunes account. How do I find out my password?

    Hi Kim,
    The password for your iCloud account and your Apple ID are one in the same, as the iCloud email account is an alias for your Apple ID as well.
    After you set up your @icloud.com email address, you can use it to sign in to iCloud. You can also sign in using the Apple ID you used to create your iCloud account. 
    iCloud: Set up an @icloud.com email address

  • Why does this email address not work

    Hi
    i have posted the question a couple of times in a different format, but have not received an answer....
    Why wont the ipad email system allow the following format address:
           [email protected]
    It works in outlook, but not on the iPad.
    I get the message invalid address or password.
    I am hoping that someone knows how to make it work...
    Cheers

    I think the format is yourdomain.com.test-google-a.com. Your example is missing the .com part of your domain. So your example should look like [email protected] where mydomain = name.com

  • When I try to send a webpage in Firefox (file-email link), Thunderbird crashes. If I copy & paste same link by hand, it works. Why is this?

    When I try to send a web link in Firefox (file-email link), Thunderbird hangs, or I should say the email with the link hangs. The new email shows the link, I add an email address and click send, Thunderbird hangs and never completes the send. I have to copy and paste the link by hand in a new email and then it works. It seems to be an issue regarding how Firefox and Thunderbird are communicating.
    My server uses IMAP. I don't have this problem with POP, but I prefer to use IMAP.
    Thanks for any help!

    Is that the exact message that Outlooks gives you?
    Anyway, why don't you just forward the original link to the document, instead of the PDF itself?

    this is very weird because at first I thought it was some glitch where someone typed their email wrong and sent it
    to mine accidently, but it even uses my name. why is this happening? didn't someone hack into my account?
    the reason i am concerned is that could someone use my applecare if they registered with my apple id?

    Somebody at scheduling incorrectly typed your email address instead of the intended address. For example the email should have gone to [email protected] and they typed [email protected] The error could have been as simple as a single character mistyped.
    There is nothing to do.

  • I cannot send an email from my iPad 2? No problem receiving, why does this happen? Have tried the suggestions for setting up email and after doing the sync mail through iTunes receiving worked great but still cannot send? Any help would be great

    I cannot send an email from my iPad 2? No problem receiving, why does this happen? Have tried the suggestions for setting up email and after doing the sync mail through iTunes receiving worked great but still cannot send? Any help would be great!

    The fact that you can receive means you have a valid e mail address, and have established the connection to the incoming server, so all of that works.  Since the send does not work, that means your outgoing server is rejecting whatever settings you used formthe outgoing set up.  Try them again. 
    Google your particular isp, and ipad and many times you will find the exact settings needed for your isp.  Or tell us here, and soneone else may be on the same isp.  Some mail services need you to change a port, or have a unique name for the outgoing server.  
    Kep trying.

  • I created a form, I want the email notices to go to several people. Why is this so difficult? It seems like they have to be a co-author/reader or something? I don't get it

    I created a form, I want the email notices to go to several people. Why is this so difficult? It seems like they have to be a co-author/reader or something? I don't get it

    This is crazy! I paid for this service to make it easier to create forms for a company that has had several acquisitions all over the globe. This was supposed to make it easy to create forms hosted on adobe so no matter what happens on all their servers, we would be safe using this forms service until we can integrate all acquisitions and build a permanent web site on a single server. Now I find out that even this is a major issue sending emails to team members, many I have never met so making them a collaborator or even setting up forwarded emails is not something I wanted to do. This service was advertised as simple and easily send notifications to many people. I am now frustrated and thinking this was a waste of money! Why is it like that?

  • I never had an APPLE ID with this email address and I have no idea why this is this showing to me?

    Every time I restore my iPhone from iCloud Backup, this apple id SHOWS UP  and asking password. But I never had an APPLE ID with this email address and I have no idea why this is this showing to me? Could anyone help me to remove it from my Applr ID as it seems somehow its linked to my iCloud Backup. Thank you.
    <Email Edited By Host>

    Hi Ralph,
    I have received the iPhone 5s from my carrier EE UK. I never had a second hand device as all my previous iPhones received from my carrier. Every time I restore from iCloud backup, first I enter my Apple ID and Password, then it authenticates and goes through next process and updates iCloud settings, right after initial settings then it displayes enter your password where the Apple ID is the metntioned Apple ID and in the bottom it says "Skip this to go next process" or something. I have to press that everytime to skip it, then restore my backup from iCloud and then when I'm in iPhone home it asks me for the password of that mentoned email. So everytime I change the email address to my Apple ID then enter my password that activates my iCloud services and start downloading all the apps I installed.
    Its really weird to be honest and I don't know how to remove that email address from that process and seems its there.
    N.B. When I had iPhone 4s, Apple Store did replace my iPhone 4s with a new one due to the faulty WiFi.

  • I keep receiving Reset email password emails. The most recent one was actually addressed to someone else... i.e. the name in the email not the email address. why is this happening??

    I keep receiving Reset email password emails.
    The most recent one was actually addressed to someone else... i.e. the name in the email not the email address. why is this happening?? I am not requesting to reset my icloud email password.

    That's probably because it's been sent out to a Bcc'd mailing list and that's the name on the main version. This is so that you don't see the other names.
    If it doesn't come from something @apple.com then it's spam. Even if it appears to it's probably spam. If you want to change your password go directly to http://appleid.apple.com - do not follow any links in the email (even if they appear to lead to that address.)
