HT4597 Can I add other email accounts to my iCloud account?

Can I add other (non apple) email accounts to my iCloud account?

Not sure what you mean?  Who else provides free email accounts?  Google, Yahoo, Microsofts Hotmail and Live services, AOL/AIM, and most ISPs provide you with an email account as well, but each runs their own email services on their own equipment - these are proprietary services liked to physically distinct email servers (actuall, in most case to large server farms).  So Apple has no legal right, nor means, to host your Yahoo account on their iCloud servers, nor can Yahoo host your iCloud email account on their servers - neither owns the others domains (Yahoo cannot host me.com since they don't own that domain name).
Many people (myself included) own our own domains and pay a hosting company to host those on their equipment.  I use my own domains for much of my email (and almost all of my personal email).  While those email accounts physically live on the hosting companies equipment, I can always change hosting companies and move my domain, since I own those domains.  There are many hosting companies - GoDaddy, 1and1, HostMonster, Yahoo, ...

    Hi Inspiration69,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on your question. If you are asking how to set up your iCloud account on your iPhone, you may find the following page helpful:

    No, only your iCloud mail (@me address) will work with iCloud.

    How do I get another email to verify my icloud account the last one timed out so I could not use it ??

    You can ask your email service provider for another email address. They often allow several per account. Or you can sign up for a free gmail, yahoo or other email address. Or you might use your spouse's email address.

  • Can I transfer my email address from old iCloud account to new iCloud account?

    Hi Guys,
    Basically I left the Apple ecosystem a year or so ago, I have recently purchased myself an iPhone 6 and decided I wanted a fresh start so decided to create another account.
    The only problem is I still use the old email and if possible I'd like to close it on my old account and have it transferred to my new one, is this possible? I'm not too fussed about losing calendars or contacts as I successfully transferred those over.
    So yeah, basically can I have my other email address moved over to the new account?
    Thanks

    You cannot transfer your iTunes account to your iCloud account. However you can change its login to another non-Apple address. Go to http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Manage your Apple ID'. Sign in with the current ID. Where it says 'Apple ID and primary email address' and gives your current ID email address, click 'edit'. Enter your new address (which cannot be an Apple address) and click 'Save changes'. Now open iTunes and sign out; sign back in with the new login address.

  • Can I update an email address on my icloud account

    My current Icloud (apple ID) is being used by my child for their ipod touch with my email address.  I now have a new Iphone for both her and for my wife.  I think they each need their own icloud (apple id)!?!  So, can I change the existing icloud (apple id) to my childs email address and set her phone up to sync with it allowing my wife to use the existing icloud (apple id) with her new phone?
    If so, are those Icloud (apple ID) then set up on the phones under settings...Icloud...Icloud account information area?
    It may be obvious that I am a new "I" device user!
    I failed to mention that I'd need to set up a new Icloud (apple ID) for my child.

    Ok.  First, you don't have to use the same Apple ID for purchasing from the iTunes and App stores as you do for other services such as iCloud, iMessage, etc.  Everyone can still share the existing ID in Settings>iTunes & App Stores without creating any issues.  This will prevent any issues relating to accessing your purchased music.  They should, however, use separate iCloud accounts with separate IDs for iCloud, as well as iMessage and FaceTime.
    You will first want to migrate your daughter to her own iCloud account with her own ID (again, she can keep the existing ID for purchasing).  To do this, assuming she already has data in the existing iCloud account, she will want to set up the existing account on her phone to download the data from iCloud.  This can be done during the setup process if her phone is not set up yet.  After doing this, go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account.  (This will only delete the account from her device, not from iCloud.)  When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, choose Keep on My iPhone.  Then set up a new iCloud account on her phone with a new ID.  If she doesn't have one, tap Get Free Apple ID at the bottom to create one.  After setting up the new account, she can turn on iCloud data syncing, and when prompted, choose Merge to upload the data on her phone to the new account.  After confirming that her data migrated to the new account successfully you can now set up your wife's phone.
    If the existing iCloud account contains your daughter's data, you will probably want to go to icloud.com on your computer and manually delete it before setting this account up on your wife's phone.  If you don't, when she syncs with the account, her data will be merged with the existing data from your daughter and you'll still have to manually remove the daughter's data from the account.  Be sure your daughter's data is in her own account before deleting it from the original account or it will be lost.
    Once the original iCloud account is free of your daughter's data, you can set up this account on your wife's phone, turn on iCloud data syncing, and when prompted, choose Merge to upload your wife's data to the original account.
    Finally, to avoid getting each other's text messages or FaceTime calls, everyone should also have separate IDs for these services.  If they don't, for iMessage go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sigh back in with a separate ID.  For FaceTime, do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.

  • How can I get my email address by my iCloud accountant with the name is now an own icloud account without the possibility to get iCloud storage

    I have a email address . It is not possible to buy icloud storage for it or to add to my first account where i have plenty of icloud storage available.
    <Email Edited by Host>

    It's a really bad idea to post your email address - it's an invitation to spam - and I've asked the Hosts to remove it.
    If you have a (name)@me.com address which actually works then you have a (name)@icloud.com address as well, and and iCloud account. There should be no problem adding storage to it as long as you are signed into it as the primary account in System Preferences>iCloud on a Lion/Mountain Lion Mac, and iOS5/6 device or Windows 7/8 with the iCloud Control Panel.
    If this is an ex_MobileMe address which you never migrated to iCloud you cannot reactivate it, so the question is have you checked it actually receives messages?
    You cannot move such addresses from one account to another.

  • Can't add ANY email accounts to iPhone

    I can't add any email accounts to my iPhone's mail application. (it used to work just fine) I have tried to enter my account information using my yahoo, gmail, and exchange and none work. I enter my account information and after it verifies it takes me to "account" which is only a blank screen. I have tried entering account information both directly on the mail app and under settings.
    Anyone having a similar problem? anyone have any ideas of how to fix or what's wrong?

    preciosa1435,
    Have you tried Resetting All Settings? To do so, navigate to Settings > General > Reset.
    If that doesn't work, restoring the iPhone and setting it up as a new phone (instead of restoring from backup) should ultimately resolve the issue.

  • Can i add another email address to account

    can i add another email address to my  account

    Your best bet would be to try resetting the password to the account that you would like to use via iForgot
    Once you log in to that account change the email address to anything, it can even be fake its just a placeholder
    After you do that you will be free to change your old email address on your appleID to the new one that is now free to be used as it is no longer attached to the other account.

    Hello Sophie59
    You should be able to see two different tabs when setting up the email if you go to Other > Add Mail Account. Once you enter in the email address and password, you should be at the next screen to provide more details about the email as far as incoming and outgoing servers and at the top there will be a blue section to add it in as a POP or IMAP email account. Check out the article below for further troubleshooting and emails setup options.

    we have moved over to iCloud but now we need a another email for a blog we are doing can we add another email but not alias

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You can add an alias but not a second email address to your iCloud account. You can however add a second iCloud account to your iOS device (which will come with its own email address) at settings> mail, contacts calendars.

  • How can I add a new user to my managed account?

    *There is an existing skype user.  i.e She already has a skype account
    *I have a Skype Manager account and want to provide her with SkypeCredit
    *I am having trouble doing that.  It seems that I can add a new member to my group only if they are a new user (i.e. they get a new skype address). Then I seem to have learned that this might not be possible if I or they (?) are in the US.
    Will someone clarify this?
    Skype support tells me that: 
    "Reymark C: I am afraid adding members in somewhere in US is no longer available."
    Is this somewhere on the help pages that I missed.  Being logged-in, skype knows where I am (or where I list my home as).  Why did it let me waste so much time struggling with this?
    Also, why is there this restriction?
    ...after much other talk.....
    L JEPSON: Question: Can I add skype credit to another person's account?
    Reymark C: That;s only possible once he is already added to your manage account.
    L JEPSON: You said I cannot add members in the US.
    Reymark C: Those are only possible outside US.
    L JEPSON: So I can not add anyone to my manager account, b/c I am in the US, correct?
    Aside, why can't the skype support use skype-screenshare?  I wanted to show what I saw.  Instead, we had me sign some online contract, gave control of my computer to the support person.  Spent a fair amount of time doing this.   Enable your users to use skype to see our screens, please, Microsoft.  You can still record the conversation and record the screenshare, can't you?
