I can't use my email alias

I've had a .mac address since the were available.   Thanks to iCloud I also have the .me
I can get messages to work under the .me email, but if I can use .mac and if I try to add it as another email, messages gives me an error saying it can't be used. 
What did I miss?   I need to use the .mac, as I never use .me

Right now -- you cannot send mail from an alias account on your iPhone.
Many people have expressed the same wish -- and you might make your desires known here:

  • How can i use an email address with an apostrophe as my apple ID

    I need use a school email address for a new Apple ID but it has an apostrophe, and Apple does not see it as a valid address. How can I use that email?

    Welcome to the Apple Community Juduth.
    If you don't know your password, don't know your security questions and don't have a rescue address or don't receive a reset email, you should contact AppleCare who will initially try to assist you with a reset email or if unsuccessful will pass you to the security team to reset your security questions for you.
    If you are in a region that doesn't have international telephone support try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support.

    Ahhh after some research and trail and error.. (hours of it)... I got a work around!!! I tried it for gmail and it works fine now!! Below is what you do:-
    On inital stage please type dont type correct yahoo, gmail, hotmail or other email ID "

    Go to Mail on your phone  - Options - Settings -  scroll down to email - Options - New Mailbox
    Click - start and then NO to allow connections (that stops Nokia Messaging swinging into control)

  • I used my husband's email for my apple ID.  I just got him a new ipad but can't use the email to register.  If I change my ID now, will that email be available for him on his ipad?

    I used my husband's email for my apple ID.  I just got him a new ipad but can't use the email to register.  If I change my ID now, will that email be available for him on his ipad?

    Hey LamFY,
    Thanks for the question. The short answer is Yes. Once you change your Apple ID primary email address, the previous email address will be freed up for use with another account:

    Be sure to follow all of the steps in this resource, most importantly the first step of signing out of all Apple features and services.

  • Can you use multiple email addresses on the owa app?

    Can you use multiple email addresses on the Microsoft OWA App?

    You can do it but there is a delay from the bluetooth speaker.  You'll need an iphone or ipad using the Apple app "Control", airplay setup, bluetooth speaker, and an Apple laptop or desktop. 
    I used my laptop to connect to my bluetooth speaker so that sound streams to my bluetooth device. Then, on my iphone I opened Control and connect the music to my airplay and my laptop at the same time.  The music goes to your airplay speaker, and then to my laptop which then blue tooths it to my speaker.  But, as I said the bluetooth takes an extra step to stream it and so the music is not in sync.  Its like a second and a half delay....

  • Using an Email Alias in a SharePoint 2013 Workflow created in Designer

    Hello,
    I would like to use an email alias for a workflow that was created in Designer, I don't want the workflow email address to look like it was sent from the system or myself I'd like to use an email address our generic email address that our department uses. 
    I cannot see a way to do this.   All the email address we are trying to use are in our AD and are active.  Here is an example of what I am trying to do... 
    We’re going to be using a few forms I’ve created on SharePoint so that colleagues may submit requests for additional resources for virtual environments. In order for us to track the requests I’d like them to be dumped into the LT-Infrastructure
    board inside of ConnectWise, and the best method to do that would be via email.  Is it possible to have the email come out on a different address? (ex.
    [email protected]) After configuring the workflow and sending out a test I realized that its coming from
    [email protected](which I assume replied to you).
    Thank you in advance for your help.

  • Can I use an email to verify icloudchain

    When I try to setup a iCloud chain on my devices like my iPad an iPhon, it send the verification code to the phone  that is a land line and can not receive text on it. Can I use an email to verify the device

    Hello Maziman,
    Setting up iCloud Keychain and verifying a device requires at least SMS. Take a look at this info from the following article:
    Frequently asked questions about iCloud Keychain
    If you can't access any of your other devices that are using iCloud Keychain, you can still set up iCloud Keychainon another device if you have these items:
    Your iCloud Security Code
    The device that is using the SMS-capable phone number you provided when you first set up iCloud Keychain. A verification code is sent via SMS to this phone number. If you can't access this number, contact Apple Support, who can verify your identity, so that you can complete setup on your new device.
    After you complete the setup, your iCloud Keychain will be pushed from the cloud to the new device.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    Sterling

    If that doesn't help, you don't receive a reset email or you don't have a rescue address, you should contact AppleCare who will initially try to assist you with a reset email or if unsuccessful will pass you to the security team to reset your security questions for you.

  • Can I use my email address as my iPad ID? Thanks., Can I use my email address as my iPad ID? Thanks.

    Hi! Do I really have to enter my VISA info in order for me to access iTunes, App Store, etc? Can I download
    Yahoo Messenger in my iPad? Thanks.

    You can use a non @me to set up iCloud, then add your @me address to that apple id.  So you have your apple id as any addreee you want, and your @me address is attached to that apple id, but it is not the id.  That is what I did, so I know that works.
    If you open an iCloud account with an ID which is a non-Apple email address you will be asked to create a new @me.com address to go with it. People have reported that it is not possible to add an existing @me.com address to an iCloud account, so if that is what you've done I can't explain why you got away with it An @me.com address is an Apple ID in its own rigtht so you would be in effect merging IDs, which (despite many people's fervent wishes) is not possible.
    And as said you can't use an alias address for anything else than an alias in the account by which it was created.

  • I can´t reply with email alias

    I can't reply with my email alias on any of my devices. I can receive emails, but when i reply it only lets me do it with my primary email.
    Thanks

    Hi IsraelTJMX,
    I am a little unclear as to whether you are using a mail application on your devices or using the iCloud.com web mail interface. If you are using the web interface, you can select the account or alias you wish to send from by clicking on From: next to the address and it will offer you the various options including the alias. See this article -

  • Can I use one email address for two apple devices? (One iPad2 and one iMac.)

    I've been trying to find this information by searching the web and I can't find a good answer.
    Can I use [email protected] for my "iPad AppleID" and use the same email address for my "iMac AppleID"?

    your mail account has nothing to do with your apple id or device or even platform
    you activate your mail account in your mail-app on your device, just pay attention you activate your account as IMAP and not as POP or Exchange
    I suppose Verizon.net offers IMAP  too?
    citation from Wikipedia :
    IMAP supports both on-line and off-line modes of operation. E-mail clients using IMAP generally leave messages on the server until the user explicitly deletes them. This and other characteristics of IMAP operation allow multiple clients to manage the same mailbox. Most e-mail clients support IMAP in addition to Post Office Protocol (POP) to retrieve messages; however, fewer e-mail services support IMAP. IMAP offers access to the mail storage. Clients may store local copies of the messages, but these are considered to be a temporary cache.

    Its yahoo.  When I type in my address it comes up as email verified for another apple id.  This is strange?  i have it on my iphone.  I am registered with the games centre, although I have never used it. do you think this is what the problem is.
