If using apple mail address as ID, can I use a different password?

If using apple mail address as ID as suggested in the Apple ID setup, can I use a different password or is it the same as for my email?
I have read, more times than I can count, that using the same psw for many things is not recommended... in general. Will using my email and psw, compromise email security?
If I use my .mac or .me (any preferrence by apple?) can I then change the password in my email so that icloud and email have diff psw's?
Am I over thinking this?
Will this same ID be used in my iTunes account?
What is the best / most secure / recommended way to go about this?
affected are:
apple email acct
apple support communities
iTunes
iCloud
There appear to be so many variables and assuming once apple id/icloud is set, it is likely difficult to alter if at all possible so I just want to be sure.
Thanks.
PS: is there a phone number for support on this?

I explained that in the original post.
My iTunes account was once compromised. Isn't iTunes login and psw the same as Apple ID and iCloud?
It is the idea of using the same login and psw for several things.

Is there a way to use Apple Mail/Address Book/Calendar with a Microsoft Exchange Server that requires a client certificate ?

I have an Exchange server configured to require a client certificate. Is there a way to configure a certificate for Apple Mail/Address Book/Calendar ? There seems to be no option in the account settings to do that (in contrast to for example the IMAP settings).
Any help highly appreciated !

I don't know. Try downloading the certificate and installing it in your keychain. See what happens.

What happened to saved previously used e-mail addresses?

What happened to saved previously used e-mail addresses? I don't use Outlook for contacts.

I REALLY hope Adobe will fix this, though I don't think they see a problem here. I don't use outlook, and I am truly frustrated by the slow process of copying and pasting the same email address over and over. The original AdobeSendNow was a fine program, but the new version is really buggy and I am hoping this gets straightened out soon. I also am having error messages when I send files.
In general I am very happy with Adobe products, and wish to stay with them, but I may have to start shopping another file sending program that doesn't give me error messages 25% of the way through a send process. I work on short turnaround times as part of my exceptional customer service, and I can't afford to have that reputation compromised.
(To Adobe's credit, as of today, March 11th, they are responding in a timely matter, and are looking into the issue for me, so I will give them a chance to work on this error problem).

I'm exhausted of trying to find a solution to a problem created by Apple. I have moved to iCloud, following your instructions and now I can not use my mobileme e-mail address. How can I contact directly with Apple, not just an automatic reply phone number

I'm exhausted of trying to find a solution to a problem created by Apple. I have moved to icloud following all your instructions and now I can not use my mobile me e-mail address. I can not activate icloud because when I put my e-mail address it answers that somebody is already using my address. I have my old e-mails, but I can not receive any e-mail or send them.
I have contacted Apple Technical Support in Spain and I was sent an e-mail saying that I have to call a phone number and when I call it is always an answering machine who answers that says that I have to pay 50€ for a consultation or wait for 10 minutes. When I have made the consultation it was never mentioned that I have to pay 50€ for a phone consultation. If I don't want to wait I have to pay for the Apple Tecnical Support which cost 250 €, this was not mentioned in the technical support page.
Can somebody let me know how can I contact Apple in another way in order to talk with a human being or chat directly? I was very happy just using my mobileme e-mails, I didn't need any clouds and I was force by Apple to registered if I want to continue using my mobileme e-mail address.

Sandra,

How can I use apple mail (linked to gmail) and get it to only do autofill on the contacts that I have in apple address book?

How can I use apple mail (linked to gmail) and get it to only do autofill on the contacts that I have in apple address book? Everytime I write an email on the Apple mail app (as well as in Gmail) it recommends a bunch of emails that are not my contacts. I want it to just autofill for the contacts that I have in my address book. Is this possible? Thank you. I have an Imac Intel version and an Iphone 5 phone.

Assuming you have these accounts set up in Mail, open preferences and under Accounts tab, edit the SMTP outgoing server list. Do you have a .mac address in the list? If so, delete it.
Are you using iCloud?
For the troubled account, select the correct SMTP server for that account in the box and check the box to use only that server with that account.

How can I re-use the mail address I signed when I was testing MobileMe?

A few months ago, I tested mobile me and sigend on a me.com email address. I didn't take the anual subscription so the testaccount was closed fur using but is still existing.

You are trying to find a loophole to circumvent a basic rule that prohibits the transfer of purchased content from one Apple ID to another.
Content tied to an Apple ID are bound to that Apple ID forever. You can not merge or trade accounts. Well, not (officially) anyway...

Hi, incorrect previously used e-mail address suggestions keep appearing in my Yahoo! ID box when signing in & I can't get rid of them.

Hi, incorrect previously used e-mail address suggestions keep appearing in my Yahoo! ID box when signing in. I can't get rid of them. I've tried clearing the cache and cookies. I couldn't find an option to clear private data, don't know if that would work. My Yahoo password is not saved and my password is not the problem. I just want to know how to delete previously used emails from logging in suggestions so they stop appearing, hope you can help, cheeeers - Dave.

Thanks very much for the response Sandee. I tried your suggestion of the Annotation option and this worked! - wonderful.. altho this test now works for me I'd still love to get it working from InDesign.
What I'm trying to achieve... my client had 5 powerpoint presentations that need updating with new branding (totally about 160 pages - with about 20 basic animations - i.e. flashing lights on products etc).
I sold him on the idea of using InDesign/PDF rather than powerpoint - but am needing to find an easy solution for the animations. So I've been working on this test file. Have self taught myself on a basic flash animation (from Lynda.com)... and tried importing both SWF and QT .MOV into InDesign and then exporting to PDF and when it loaded up in Acrobat it would always "unexpectedly quit" upon opening... even after trying different versions of PDF compatibility and restarting etc.
Is there something obvious that I'm not doing right?
Also if I get it to work, does that mean that my client and all their staff around the world will need to be Acrobat Reader 9?
Thanks again for your time and help

HT2500 Can I use Apple Mail on my ipad and on a pc using safari browser

Can I use Apple Mail on my ipad and on a pc using safari browser

You would configure the iPad to connect to your email provider's IMAP servers. How that's done is specific to whatever mail provider you use. If it's one of the major email services like AOL, Hotmail or Yahoo, then you should be able to just create a new mail account on the iPad and follow the instructions you see on the iPad. If your email is not listed, then you'll need to contact your mail provider so you can know what to enter for the server name, etc.
