How do I set up my Mac to auto retrieve mail from icloud?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If you can't get your mail to work on Snow Leopard after June 30, you might want to try one of these approaches
1. Configuring Mail in Snow Leopard
2. Delete your mail account from Mail preferences and set it up again using the Mail Server Information.
Some users have apparently encountered issues using this information in pre-Lion set ups (I haven't), Roger Wilmut has kindly provided instructions for those who find themselves with this problem.
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard

    How can I set up my Mac for two users to share photos, music etc?

    On the Mac with the libraries you want to share:
    iTunes Preferences click on the Sharing tab and put a tick in 'Share by library on local network'.
    iPhoto Preferences click on Sharing and put a tick against 'Share my photos'.
    When launching the same apps on other Macs on the network the libraries should be available, listed on the left.

    how do i set up my mac book pro after replacing the harddrive

    Well if your machine came with Lion, your going to have to copy someone's Lion Recovery Partition to a USB thumb drive.
    If your machine came with or was upgraded to Snow Leopard then your going to have to follow the
    Restoring OS X - 10.6  "fresh install method"
    Everything for either methods is here, including formatting your new drive:

  • How do I set up a filter to stop relayed mail?

    How do I set up a filter to stop relayed mail?
    Unsolicited Bulk E-mail (UBE) is electronic mail sent to large numbers
    of recipients without their knowledge or consent, usually advertising commercial
    products or services. It is the electronic equivalent of paper "junk
    mail", and is commonly referred to as Spam.
    <P>UBE is usually just a nuisance, but the volume of UBE received at a
    certain site can at times become so onerous that business-critical functions
    are affected. This is especially true when UBE is used maliciously
    to produce a denial of service attack, where a mail server is inundated
    with UBE and crashes because of the load. Another common UBE problem
    is when a mail server is used as a relay for UBE, so that a particular
    server spends all its time routing e-mail that isn't destined for its
    users. Some ISPs have reported that their mail servers have been
    hard coded into certain spam programs, so that they are constantly being
    used as a relay. Not only does this slow down their mail service
    locally, but sometimes other ISP's will identify the afflicted ISP as a
    source of spam and begin to block messages, legitimate and spam alike,
    coming from that ISP. ISP's often name UBE as their number one problem,
    preventing them from providing fast, reliable service.
    <P>For a full definition of UBE see http://www.imc.org/uce-def.html
    (Unsolicited Bulk Email: Definitions and Problems).
    <P>Messaging Server 3.5 Hosting Edition supports powerful filtering capabilities
    on messages as they are received by the server. Various criteria
    can be applied to incoming messages, including testing on number of recipients,
    sender domain or IP address, messages being relayed, and more. Messages
    can then be bounced, dropped, or reviewed by an administrator before being
    delivered. Providers can filter out unwanted mail at the source or block
    a third party from using their messaging server for relaying email.
    <P><B>UBE Filters Functionality Overview</B>
    <P>The UBE filter is a plugin for Netscape Messaging Server 3.5. It works
    by examining all incoming mail before it is routed throughout the system
    (to users mailboxes or to other email servers). The UBE filter uses a set
    of rules (also known as filters) to decide what to do with each piece of
    mail. The filters are used to trap specified types of mail.
    Mail that is trapped can be rejected, forwarded to a specific mailbox (e.g.,
    the postmaster), deleted, or altered in some way. Mail that "passes"
    all the filters continues on its normal course.
    <P>Filters can be set up two ways, either using the straight forward Graphical
    User Interface (GUI) or by setting up the filters directly in the filter.cfg
    file. Generally, one would use the GUI interface for simple, one
    line filters. To set up more complicated, multi-part filters, editing
    the <I>filter.cfg</I> file directly would be faster. Both methods
    are accessed via the Messaging Server Admin tool, under Plug-ins.
    The following discussion gives some high level examples of how to set up
    simple filters using the GUI and via the <I>filter.cfg</I> file.
    For detailed information on how to set up and configure the UBE Filter
    plug-in, see chapter 5 of the online help, or http://home.netscape.com/eng/Messaging/guide35/ch5.htm#Controlling
    unsolicited bulk email (UBE).
    <P><B>Setting Up UBE Filters with the GUI</B>
    <P>The following screen shot shows a simple UBE filter being set up using
    the UBE GUI. What is being set up is a filter to check all incoming
    messages to see if they come from a domain that has been a regular source
    of UBE. In this case, the name of the offending domain is "spammer.com".
    So, each message that comes in has its "From" field checked to see if
    it is from "spammer.com". If it is, the action is REJECT, meaning
    the message is bounced back to the sender, with the appended message "I
    don't accept mail from spammer.com".
    <P>
    <BR>
    <P>Any field in the message can be examined, with some of the most popular
    including the Subject, To, and Cc fields. Any regular expression
    can be placed into the Value field, thus allowing the filter to check for
    various conditions, including containment of a particular phrase (e.g.
    Subject includes "make money"), or number of recipients (e.g., if greater
    than 100, REJECT). For more information on how to write regular expressions,
    see http://home.netscape.com/eng/Messaging/guide35/ch5.htm#Controlling
    unsolicited bulk email (UBE)
    <P>There are a number of actions that can be taken on a trapped message.
    The most common are forwarding to a "watchdog" account such as the postmaster,
    rejection, and deletion. But, in addition, programs such as virus
    checking can be run on a message to trap infected messages.
    <P><B>Setting Up UBE Filters by editing the <I>filter.cfg</I> file</B>
    <P>In the above example, the filter that was set up was converted to a
    short filter script that looked as follows:
    <P>Channel-From ".*@spammer.com" REJECT
    "I don't accept mail from spammer.com"
    <P>This can also be directly entered into the <I>filter.cfg</I> file by
    choosing the option "Edit Config File" from the UBE Page. This becomes
    interesting for more complicated filters that require more than one filter
    line. The following example shows a set of filters that were set
    up to check for various conditions. For example, the fifth
    and sixth line down is a filter that checks messages for viruses.
    <P>
    <BR>
    <P><B>Using the UBE Filter for Anti-Relay</B>
    <BR>
    <P>One of the most requested needs of the new UBE filters supported in
    Messaging Server 3.5 is to provide "anti-relay", i.e., to stop UBE which
    is from an outside domain and destined for another outside domain.
    In these cases, the mail is usually UBE and is relaying to hide the source
    of the original spammer.
    <P>There are two possible scenarios for anti-relay. One is where
    there is a separate machine outside the firewall that checks for e-mail
    for its domain. The other scenario is when there is only one machine
    handling both internal and external traffic.
    <P><I>Scenario One: Separate machines used for internal and external
    mail</I>
    <P>Outside of the firewall are mail servers that handle all incoming mail
    from the internet. Internal users connect to mail servers inside
    of the fire wall. The scenario looks like this:
    <BR>
    <P>What we want to allow is users 1 and 2 (U1 and U2) to send mail anywhere
    but X1 and X2 should only be allowed to send mail to our servers.
    <P>Solution:
    <P>On the External Mail Server create a filter script that checks the Channel-to
    header for domains that are internal to us. Allow these through and
    reject all other mail. E.g., the filters would look as follows:
    <BR>
    <UL># if the mail is bound for domain1 or domain2 then exit the script
    (and allow the mail to continue)
    <BR>Channel-To "domain1.com" EXIT
    <BR>Channel-To "domain2.com" EXIT
    <BR># otherwise reject it outright ($ANY means any header and .* means
    it has any text)
    <BR>$ANY ".*"
    REJECT "This machine only accepts mail bound for domain1.com or domain2.com"</UL>
    We don't need to do anything on the internal server since only our users
    can get to it (because of the firewall) and we want to allow them to send
    and receive any and all mail.
    <BR>
    <P><I>Scenario 2: Single machine used for internal and external mail</I>
    <P>In this scenario the same machine is used for both internal and external
    connections. The problem we face here is that we need to allow the
    local users to send mail outside our domains but not allow external users
    to do the same. Note: This set up is not generally recommended, since it
    makes the Messaging Server open to external attacks.
    <BR>
    <P>Here, we want to allow U1, U2 and U3 to send anywhere and X1 and X2
    to send to domain1 or domain2 only.
    <P>Solution:
    <P>The solution in this case is to put the same script as scenario 1 on
    the server but pre-pend it with lines that check for a connection from
    the internal domains. If the connection is from our users it must
    be from certain IP addresses, say 128.128.128.* or 128.128.129.*, so we
    look for that. If it's not from one of these two IP addresses, then
    it must be from outside and we apply the same logic as in scenario 1.
    <BR>
    <UL>#if the connection is from our internal domains then exit the script
    (and allow the mail to continue)
    <BR>Host-From "128\.128\.128\." EXIT
    <BR>Host-From "128\.128\.129\." EXIT
    <BR># if the mail is bound for domain1 or domain2 then exit the script
    (and allow the mail to continue)
    <BR>Channel-To "domain1.com" EXIT
    <BR>Channel-To "domain2.com" EXIT
    <BR># otherwise reject it outright ($ANY means any header and .* means
    has any text)
    <BR>$ANY ".*" REJECT "This machine only accepts mail bound for domain1.com
    or domain2.com"</UL>

    I agree anti-relay can be using UBE feature. However, there is serious problem in reject the spam mail. My nms is using UBE feature to stop spam mail. According to the work flow of the UBE, the mail is received by nms completely and UBE is going to invesgate the mail address. Although UBE can stop the spam mail, the spam mail have a trouble in returning the mail to the sender. The reason is the sender address is usually not existed in the world. That will cause a lot of mail waiting in the mail queue.
    In my experience, do not use UBE for anti-relay.

  • How i can set the selected item of a dropDown component from java code

    Hi
    Thank you for reading my post
    How i can set the slected item of a DropDown component from backing beans java code ?
    it is binded with a database , so one field determine its display and one other field determine its value , I want to set the selected item of this combobox
    In back code i have both value and display values to use them .
    can some one give me some help ?
    Thanks ,

    See code sample 3 at http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/javatools/jscreator/learning/tutorials/2/helloweb.html
    See also, the selection components row in the table under http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/javatools/jscreator/learning/tutorials/2/helloweb.html
    It says
    One way to preselect items is to call setSelectedValue(Object[]) or setSelectedValue(Object) from the prerender() method. You pass in the return values of the items that you want preselected. Be sure to verify that getSelected() returns null before setting the default options, or you will overwrite the user's selections on a post-back.

  • How do I set up my iTunes Genius to play selections from all, not just some, of my songs in my currently playing playlist?

    Last night, when I played my playlist songs with iTunes Genius, my iTunes, with one of my playlists selected, and set on "Shuffle On," "Genius Shuffle On, "Genius On," "Match On," and "Play," played selections from all of my songs in my playlist.

  • How can I set the insert date to auto update in Pages 5.2.2

    how can I set the insert date to auto update in Pages 5.2.2
    I am attempting to have the date in header auto update in a Pages file.
    I can insert it, but where is the AUTO UPDATE selection
    OS10.9.4
    thank you

    Apple never included the auto-update feature for dates in Pages v5.2.2. You would have to single-click the date, and deliberately update it.
    If you have Pages ’09 v4.3 in /Applications/iWork '09, then it will allow you to configure auto-update of the date field. Right-click on the date, set the format, and click the selection for automatically update on open.

    You are writing that in the perspective of having read about it here already. Repeated often enough that you encountered it somewhere in the posts.
    Users are flooding in here and don't know any of this. Of course we have to repeat everything endlessly.
    Because I like to give precise, understandable and workable answers to repeated questions, and Apple doesn't allow sticky posts here, I created a separate forum which users can consult to look up real answers, and contribute for themselves if they have something valuable to add:
    http://www.freeforum101.com/iworktipsntrick/
    There is a section purely devoted to Pages 5. Add whatever answers you feel will lighten the problems of Apple's 'upgrades'.

    * Where have they acknowledged anything?
    ** They have barely anything listed, compared to the massive list of deleted features, and nothing but an extraordinarily long time frame considering they created the problems here and now. Apple has not said they will do anything at all about fixing the real issues, the biggest of which is that the new iWork apps break virtually all the work of existing users.

  • How do you set-up a hotmail email address in mail

    how do you set-up a hotmail email address in mail?
    I cant seem to add it. any ideas why it cant connect to the server? what server address should i be using?
    regards
    Brendon

    Hi bmuur,
    I also had the same problem.
    I clicked Microsoft Exchange and kept trying to add my hotmail account that way but it kept asking for a server address for it to work.
    If you go into Internet Accounts and instead of clicking Microsoft Exchange scroll down to the bottom of the list and click Add Other Account...
    It will ask what sort of account you want to be created and I selected Add Mail Account and clicked create.
    Enter your full name, hotmail email address and password.
    I then clicked create and it worked for me.
    Hopefully this solves your problem.
