HT4436 How do i set up a different @me email account on my iMac?

I just bought a mac and set an @me email that i want to change. Can i change it? or just add a different @me email

You can't change an @me.com email address, nor can you add one.  What you can do is create an alias @icloud.com address to use which will deliver email to your current iCloud inbox.  This explains how to do this: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a490a.  Just be aware that this alias address will be permanently tied to this account.  It cannot later be used to create a new iCloud accout or be moved to a different account.

    How do I set up a second iCloud email account?

    Well Roger , it may not be particularly difficult for you it is quiet clear that for several thousand people who managed to find the time to seek out help for these devices and programs that the manufacturer is unable or unwilling to provide it is at the very least "difficult"! If we are to tally up the amount of questions and inquiries posted on this one help site, I shudder to think of the size of the iceberg of inoperative functions and thus lost revenue to all those people , company's that like me have found things "difficult "! Last summer I created a "I cloud " address in a hurry while in dep lounge LHR
    And now wish to change as above is reputed to be used by notorious thugs who assault seniors on streets and post result on Web, useing same letters that I had hastily typed prior to Flt over pond. Alas like you I am now aware of the inability of changing address and thus wish to create " alias" to at least hide offending letters . The can of worms gets  more difficult as my main comp is an antique HP  windows 7 on which I have installed Apple  control panel ! Thus I get duplicate mail on an MSN Acc plus Hot mail that is still unable to decide if it wants to be known as "Outlook " or not? All the folders created by me for "HotMail " will show up with some persuasive tapping but will not allow the release to view their contents? If I click on "cloud mail" "no mail" message  is shown! I can deposit info /file in Cloud mail "archive" but only if I navigate to " Mail box Accounts" first ? If I want to create a file , no facility seems to be available ? So info/files that warrant saving /filing are left flagged ,sloshing about in the InBox or stuffed into over burdened  "Cloud Account!
    I have tried to follow instructions in Apple Corp official instructions ,both I Pad and Cloud and am unable to locate the term "preferences" as no "Action pop up menu * has shown itself! thus I am unable click "Accounts" or "add an Alias" !
    I must confess I have been very rude to the Micro Soft people in the past for my inability to grapple with their system , but now think perhaps I am the problem as Parkinson's will affect cognitive  function?...... Your remark re expecting "free" mail box features in my opinion is a bit like the car salesman saying " No Sir, that is the price for the car , the oil ,
    Anti freeze , trans fluid , battery acid are all extra!!??..... Carry on London!!!!

  • How can I set up a "receive only" email account in Outlook 2010

    I have an Outlook 2010 email account that receives emails from a "Fax-to email" service, and I'd like to make that accout "Receive Only".  Is it possible to do that, and if so, how.
    Capt. Dinosaur

    Hi
    As per the information and details provided by you, to set up a
    “Receive Only”email account in Outlook 2010, please follow these steps: -
    You have a few options available to you. You can set up the account with
    a fake SMTP server name and configure the Send/Receive group to not send mail from this account, or you can use a different, valid account for the Outgoing server, just in case you accidentally use the wrong account when you compose a message.
    First, create the account in Outlook: -
    Fill the name and address fields with the desired information. Select
    POP3 account type and enter the incoming server name.
    In the Outgoing server field, type
    nomail.
    Enter the correct username and password for the incoming mail account.
    If you want to verify the incoming server is correctly configured, click on
    Test Account Settings, and then choose the dialog after the incoming server is verified.
    Deselect the option to
    Automatically test account settings when the Next is clicked.
    Click on the
    Finish to return to Outlook.
    Because Outlook will error on every manual send and receive when it can not find the outgoing server error, you need to change the
    Send and Receive Settings for this account.
    Press
    Ctrl+Alt+A to open the Send/Receive Settings dialog. (or you can go to
    Send/Receive tab, Send/Receive Groups and select Define Send/Receive Groups.
    Click the
    Edit button.
    Select the receive-only account, then deselect
    Send Mail Items.
    Click on the
    OK, then Close to return to Outlook.
    I hope this information will be helpful for you.
    Thanks and regards

  • How can I set up 2 different iPhone 5 accounts on my PC?

    My phone automatically up dates and opens iTunes when I connect it to my PC. My wifes iPhone does nothing.
    she has an Apple ID. When I connect her phone to the PC and open iTunes it only showes my phone content.
    So how can I set up a seperately managed account on my PC for her?

    I suggest setting your wife up with her own login on the PC.  There are other ways, but this would be the cleanest, in my opinion.
    If you do this, she can use her own iTunes, her own Apple ID, etc.

  • How do I set up a new iCloud email account

    I need to set up a seperate iCloud email for my wife, how do I do this?

    Each device can have only one iCloud ID defined. If you two have different devices and you have defined one ID on yours, then your wife can define a new one on hers. Look in the right panel for links to threads having to do with defining/changing the ID

  • How do I set up a Microsoft outlook email account on my iPhone and iPad?

    How do I set up Microsoft outlook email on my iPhone and iPad?

    The iPhone does not sync mail message with a desktop client. Only with the server. If bigpond doesn't have adequate server side mail filtering, maybe you should create a gmail account for yourself and set that up on the phone.
    You can configure gmail to fetch the mail from your bigpond account. The server side filtering on gmail is excellent. I see very little spam and there are very few false positives.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    You must first have purchased, installed and registered .a Mac package.
    Then launch Mail, open the Preferences… dialog, and press the Accounts tab. Click the + button in the lower left corner, select Account Type: .Mac and fill in the required information.

  • How can i set up a different security email?

    i cannot get into the one that is already set up?

    Joe's solution is right if you want to send from your work mail address as well as get the reply there.
    If you want to send from your home address and request replies to your work address, set a Reply-To address. You can activate a Reply-To field in the header of new mail by selecting "Reply-To Address Field" in the pull-down menu near the headers:
    The little button with three lines and a triangle is the pull-down menu I mean.

  • Having trouble setting up my Verizon/Yahoo email account on my LG Ally

    I am both a Verizon Wireless and Verizon FIOS customer. I have an email account through my FIOS which is Verizon/Yahoo account, and has a @verizon.net address. How do I set up this type of email account? The only option my phone offers is through corporate (it's not a corporate account), so I tried using that option. When I entered in the requested data, I get an error message that tells me I am not using the correct server info. Am I doing this right? Can someone please provide the correct server info for a Verizon/Yahoo FIOS account? 
    Thank you.

    I don't remember if you have to turn on the mail forwarding option from the options section on the web first or not, like Gmail. You may have to set it up manually.
    # Under User Information, do the following:
       1. In the Your Name box, type your full name the way you want it to appear to other people.
       2. In the E-mail Address box, type your e-mail user name followed by @verizon.net.
    # Under Server Information, do the following:
       1. In the Incoming mail server (POP3) box, type incoming.verizon.net.
       2. In the Outgoing mail server (SMTP) box, type outgoing.verizon.net.
    # Under Logon Information, do the following:
       1. In the User Name box, type your user name provided by Verizon Online.
       2. In the Password box, type your password.
       3. Select the Remember password check box.

  • How do you set up two different ipads on one computer ?

    I purchased a new ipad for my wife and want to get her started but we both use one imac as our desktop system.  How do you set up two different uses on one computer.
    Thanks,
    Dave

    Other options not covered in the article:
    1) You can plug both in under the same computer username and same iTunes Apple ID and give each device it's own name. You should be able to manage them as separate devices with different media, apps and screen layouts. All of your media would be in a common pool, though.
    2) Under one computer username, you can login and logout of two different iTunes Apple IDs. This option is cleaner with two computer usernames but it can be done with one.

    At this time you cannot reassign printer email addresses.  Also, keep in mind If you delete a printer email address then you will not be able to use that same email address again for six months.

    Yes, since you are trying to keep things separate, that is exactly what you would do.
