I need help streamlining my email accounts. Can Apple Mail and iCloud work with comcast and gmail?

I have been using Apple Mail to manage four email accounts. I want to consolidate the four email accounts: icloud, gmail, and 2 comcast accounts. And I want them to sync across my devices, iMac 2009, running Mavericks, ipad and iphone (both running IOS7). I have been using comcast for my work account(s), but they do not sync between devices.
If possible, I would like to keep using Apple Mail as my main email client. I do not mind trashing some of the email accounts (which is probably a choice I need to make).
In light of upgrading to Mavericks and ios7 what is the latest thinking on this issue?

iCloud will only deliver mail from your iCloud account.  What you can do is set up email forwarding with your other accounts to forward incoming email to your iCloud address, then tell all your contacts to send email to your iCloud address.  (Comcast accounts are POP3 rather than IMAP so you won't miss these accounts.  I set up forwarding from Comcast to iCloud a long time ago.)

  • I need help redirecting Lotus Notes account to Apple Mail

    I'm totally at a loss. I've done it with my gmail account, but I'd like to not have to deal with the terrible, terrible Lotus Notes application (not to mention that it takes up a ridiculous amount of CPU).
    Can anyone help me POP or whatever my Lotus Notes email to my Apple Mail? I'm not that tech-savvy, so I'm not sure what details I need to provide straight away. If you have any insights, they'd be greatly appreciated!

    I have 4 email accounts in apple Mail.  My mail is sending from the wrong account.  even on "reply" it sends from a different account.  I have 3 gmail accounts and one exchange server account. I choose which account to send from and it still sends from the same gmail account.  Help.

    I HAD two accounts because of this problem.  I completely removed the problem account from the Apple Mail client.  Guess what is happening??  That's right - Mail is still sending from the other account that no longer exists on my computer, and I have absolutely no idea how this is happening.  This is incredibly frustrating.  When a recipient chooses to reply to my message, quite often I won't get it now because it is going to the other account that has now been deleted from my system.  COME ON APPLE!!! WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH THIS???

  • When we attach photos to an email in the Apple Mail app, the photos appear tiny on gmail accounts.

    When we attach photos to an email in the Apple Mail app, the photos appear tiny on gmail accounts. They are unable to download the file as the size sent. We have tested this in multiple gmail accounts and we have tried sending as different sizes and actual size with no difference. Other photos attached in other ways come through fine. This seems to be a a result of the recent iphotos to photos app update.
    Please advise on if this is a bug with how mail is ending the photos or how gmail is receiving them.

    Try using Mail as the email client for iPhoto and see if that will fix the problem:

  • How to set default email account in Apple Mail for Yosemite?

    For some reason, after my upgrade to Yosemite my default accounts are no longer selected as default. I am now sending from an account I only receive email to, and have to change it with every single email I compose. Mavericks didn't do this.
    Has anyone had a similar situation with multiple email accounts in Apple Mail? Any idea on how to force a default?

  • Need help setting up roundcube webmail in Apple Mail app

    My wife's work uses an email service known as Roundcube for their email which from what I can tell is an IMAP service. She wants to be able to access the email from her Apple Mail app but I am not sure what the setting I should put in are for incoming and outgoing mail server. Does anyone know what these settings would be?
    Thanks
    DJ

    Thanks for the help. It turns out, like you said, that it is a web mail client and that the mail server is justhost.com
    I actually got the incoming mail to work but cannot get it to send. Do you have any experience with this?

  • HT1277 I am trying to setup a new email account.  Apple Mail is trying to configure it as an iMAP account but it is actually a POP account.  I cannot figure out how to override that.  What do I need to do?

    I am trying to setup a secondary e-mail account which is a POP account.  However, when I try to setup the new account, Mail detects it as an iMAP account.  Once Mail sets it up as an iMAP account it doesn't work.  I cannot figure out how to override the automatic setup and manually configure it as a POP account.

    Yeah, silly as it seems, OSX is trying to do too much for us, not on 10.8 to test, but try this...

                I'm not sure why you would want POP over IMAP.  When IMAP is so much more versatile.
    velocityg4
    Anyways if it works like 10.7 Mail.  When adding the account trick it. Do this by just entering some fake email address and password into the boxes and click continue.  It will then say it could not find the correct settings, click continue.  Now you will be given the option to enter everything manually. 
    Now you can choose POP and manually enter the POP and SMTP settings for Yahoo.  Which I believe are pop.mail.yahoo.com, Port 995, SSL and smtp.mail.yahoo.com, port 465, SSL, authentication required. Enter your correct email address now.
    Once added go back to your accounts list and edit it to make sure that it now lists your correct yahoo address and not the fake address in all areas.
    Note: Be sure when entering the fake email address to not use a major provider it likely knows.  So don't choose @gmail, @hotmail, &c instead use something like @weevilfarts.com.

  • Cannot change email account preferences in Mail w/ iCloud account

    I'm trying to change how often my trash is emptied in Mail for my iCloud account, but I keep getting this message when trying to save a change; The “Incoming Mail Server” field cannot be empty.

    Then there is a corrupt preference within the Mail application itself. I'm not sure on how to instruct you because Apple change the way preferences are stored and I haven't gotten into it completely yet. It would probably be the com.apple.mail.plist file.
    Before doing anything, make sure you have a back up in case problems arise. Also, sign out of iCloud and Quit Mail before making any changes.
    Preferences are stored in the Home Library folder for your user account. Quit Mail. Navigate to the Home Library folder. It's hidden in Lion. In Finder, select Go from the menu and hold the option key down. Select Library in the submenu. Navigate to the Library/Preference folder. Select any .plist file for com.apple.mail and move them to the trash. Restart Mail and see if it clears up.
    If not, Quit Mail again. Go to the Home Library/ Containers folder. Move the com.apple.mail folder to the trash. Restart Mail and it should replace com.apple.mail folder in the Containers folder. See if that clears it up.
    The items you move to the trash can be put back by selecting them, right click, and select put back. Of course, you need to quit Mail and sign out of iCloud as instructed earlier.
    If you feel uncomfortable doing this, then wait for someone else to help. I'm getting ready to leave and won't be online until tonight or tomorrow.

  • Can you share an icloud calendar with someone using gmail?

    I manage all my calendars on icloud and want to share one of them with my partner, who uses gmail and android phone. The events do not show up on his phone. This is because its not possible to do this or because we are doing something wrong?

    You can only share a read/write calendar with another iCloud member. You can share a read-only calendar with a non-member: the recipient can subscribe to it in iCal. Just get them to open an iCloud account if they have Lion on their Mac.

    You have now (unnecessarily) damaged your system to the point where a reinstallation is necessary. Back up all data first, then boot from your installation disc and reinstall. After rebooting, run Software Update. Then start a new discussion to address your problems with Mail, which will not be solved by downgrading or reinstalling system components.

  • Can't get 4.1 working with ALSA and Intel card

    Hello everybody,
    My problem is simple, but I cannot find any solution for it.
    I have Arch Linux 64 bits installed with ALSA and a Intel onboard sound card
    I can get the audio working simply installing ALSA and unmutting the channels, but I get no sound at the rear speakers and the center speaker (subwoofer).
    I run:
    $ spearker-test -c 5
    And all I have is sound at the 2 front speakers.
    Looking at alsamixer I only saw configuration for 2,4 and 6 channels. I am currently using the configuration for 4 channels.
    I unmuted everything in alsamixer (playback) and nothing changed.

  • Delete email in mavericks mac mail doesn't work with google app

    Hello,
    I've got a macbook pro retina. I've received it with mavericks pre-installed, I've done the update to 10.9.1.
    I got a google app account it was use previously with mac mail on mac os X 10.8.
    I've resetup it with the all mail settings imap shown. The "Auto-Expunge on" is set to  "- Immediately update the server. (default)"
    The problems are:
    - each time I delete a message in inbox it re-appear if I click on another folder (like sent) and go back to inbox.
    - if I move a message from inbox to a local folder it doesn't move it, It copy it. Before mavericks that feature was working.
    Could you tell me what are the right settings in google app mail to set to work well with mavericks?
    Thanks a lot, this new mac mail app is hard to work with...

    It will not work for mirroring. You need HDMI.
