In Mail, is it better to use two email addresses or just one (iCloud)

With iOS5, I have two accounts on my iMac (my regular acct and my iCloud) and it is the same way on my iPad.  On my iMac, I have iCloud as the default.  I don't quite understand this iCloud thing yet.  Should I have both accounts listed on both iMac and iPad, or should I have just one and, if just one, which one should it be?
What is the advantage of iCloud with Mail?

Probably not. There will be no appreciable difference in range between those two choices. Each will be limited by the same phenomena, namely, interference from competing wireless networks and the presence of intervening obstructions and building construction.
Extending a wireless network "wirelessly" is always a compromise that generally manifests itself in reduced bandwidth for devices connected to the "extended" base station. If you are not willing to compromise, use a wired connection between the two. That's the way large wireless deployments are accomplished.

    Hi, I use two email addresses within one account with gmx.
    I created one account with the first email address now. How do I add the second one to this account?
    Now it looks like this.
    One account was opened with address A.
    I receive in this account emails for address A and B.
    But I can only write and answer with address A.

    Hi Rudegar,
    Sorry for my late reply.
    It s not the amount of accounts I'm struggling with.
    When I create now for both email addresses one account, then I receive the same emails two times.
    That is not what I want.
    Because on gmx the two email addresses have the same inbox and outbox.
    E.g. I can login to my gmx account either with email A or B. It doesn't matter.
    Now I want to have the same on my ipad.
    One account with both email addresses.

  • Two Email Addresses, only check one?

    Hey, everyone.
    Let's see if I can explain my crazy situation:
    I just bought the 32 gb 3GS, upgraded from the 16gb 3G. Sweet phone, much faster! The following problem didn't exist on my 3G phone, but it does with this one.
    The Setup:
    1. I have two email addresses, one Gmail and one with my work domain.
    2. I forward my work email address to my Gmail account so I only have to log into gmail to reply to both personal and work emails.
    3. I had it set up on my old iPhone so that it only checked my Gmail account, but let me send with my work email if I chose to do so....which is most of the time.
    4. Now, for whatever reason, I can add the work email account, but I can't seem to figure out how to get it NOT to check my work inbox, but still let me send from that email address....
    See what I'm saying? Anyone know how to make this happen? I'd hate to have to check and delete two sets of identical emails on my phone.
    Thanks!

    I am using the first method, so I know it works.
    Click Settings / Mail / Add Account / Other / Add Mail Account.
    Put your name (like John Doe).
    Put your email address (your work address, not GMail)
    Put your GMail password in the password field.
    Put a description (like Work Email)
    Click Save.
    The next screen lets you choose POP or IMAP. Leave the Name, Address, and Description fields be. Scroll down to Incoming Mail Server. Type
    imap.gmail.com
    In the user name field, type in your GMAIL user ID.
    Password should already be populated with what you entered before.
    Scroll down to Outgoing Mail Server. Type
    smtp.gmail.com
    Type your GMAIL user ID in the User Name field. Type in your GMAIL password.
    Voila. Also, make sure you have validated your work email ID with Google. You do this under your GMail settings, Accounts. Otherwise it won't let you send emails through Google using your work address as a reply to.
    I just tried it again to make sure of the steps and it worked. Give it another try.

  • I am getting bulk junk mail and the sender is using my email address. How do I stop it?

    They do not come into my main account, only through Thunderbird. I email myself sometimes, so I cannot make a filter to block myself.

    In most cases, someone has acquired your email address and is simply pasting it into the "From:" box when he builds and transmits his spam messages. He hasn't "hacked" your account, and he isn't sending from any equipment you have any control over. Changing passwords almost always has zero effect, since he isn't logging in as you. Have you ever found any of these messages in your Sent folder?
    You started a thread, then posted a reply in a separate thread. It's easy enough when you get an email notification of a reply to your thread, as the link in the email will bring you straight here.
    If you want to add to your own thread, look in your "profile" here on this forum to find a list of your previous postings. Or bookmark your thread in your browser.
    John99 has simply joined your two threads together to help anyone trying to help you.
    Since you have no control over what any 3rd party does on his own computer (or more likely, an "owned" or hijacked computer) you can't stop him.
    Anyway, why bother with a filter if the bad messages are being placed into Bulk or Spam? Your email provider's anti-spam system would appear to be doing its job. And if they aren't labelled as Spam or Junk, don't be afraid to do so yourself. Good spam and junk filtering is bit more sophisticated than just looking at the ostensible "From:" address; it will also be looking at IP addresses and checking against blacklists for known spam sources, and using heuristics to identify patterns.
    Plus what finitarry said. ;-)

  • Using two email address in imessage

    Hello to all. I am the owner of an iPad.
    I am wondering, say if I have two frequently used email addresses, one for work, and one for family and friends. I know that in iMessage, i can add to receive messages from both account.
    However, assuming if my caller ID is set to my home email, and a client or co-worker messages me through my work email. When i reply, do they see my home email? or do they see my work email?
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    You can use the same ID for both devices. However, for Messages and FaceTime you need to add another email address in Settings>FaceTime>You can be reached at and Settings>Messages>Send and Receive and uncheck the Apple ID email address.

  • How to use .mac email address after upgrade to iCloud.

    HI
    Just wondering the following.
    I have an old mac.com email address..  Can I still use it in any capacity?  What I am thinking is to be able to have an email sent to my mac.com email address forwarded to my gmail account.  Is this possible and if so how?
    Thanks and I look forward to your reply.

    I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to do. Do you want the .mac address forwarded to gmail and not the .me address?
    If you use iCloud in Mail, all iCloud mail will include the main address and all aliases. They show in the same account, but with the different addresses.
    If you use the main forwarding address in the general preferences of Mail at the iCloud site, then all messages to all iCloud addresses will forward to gmail.
    If you only want to forward one of the addresses, go to the rules tab and create a rule to forward the .mac address to gmail.
    You said: I am using gmail on my iphone/ipad so I do not need to sync my mail.
         Do you not want the .mac or .me account on your phone and iPad?
    You said: What I am trying to achieve here is just to have a mac.com account.  My concern is I do not want to get it confused with the me.com address.  Given that is it possible to have a mac.com email account that will work?
    Where are you using the .me account and what for? How do you want to separate them so you don't get confused? If you only want a .mac account, what happened to gmail?
    I'm sorry. It appears there is a minor translation barrier. I am not understanding what you need to accomplish and I'm getting confused.
    Maybe you could explain as simple as possible all what you want to show in Mail on the computer, iPhone, and iPad and what you want to sync together.
    Glenn I am sorry for the confusion.  The joys of email.
    I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to do. Do you want the .mac address forwarded to gmail and not the .me address?
         Yes I want to forward the .mac address to my gmail account  The reason I have the .me address is because Apple forced this on me when I signed up for the icloud when it first came out.  They would not let me use another account. I would have prefered the .mac account but as I said I had no choice.
    You said: I am using gmail on my iphone/ipad so I do not need to sync my mail.
         Do you not want the .mac or .me account on your phone and iPad?
        I do not want either account on my iPhone or iPad for email.  I use my gmail account for my email.  I have gmail defined as an exchange account on the iPhone/iPad in order to push email to my devices.  I just want to have a .mac email address that people can send emails to.  My intention is to forward the .mac emails to my gmail.
    So I guess my problem boils down to how I can have the mac.com address (which is defined on Apple) forward any emails to my gmail account.
    I hope I am making this clearer for you to understand.  Maybe I am trying to do something that is not possible?  Maybe I am making this more complicated than it really i?.  The concept is simple.  Apple just makes it difficult to do it.
    I look forward to hearing back from you.

  • Can I use two gmail addresses via the same Mail account?

    Please help! My brain is fried. I have two email addresses: one is a regular gmail one, the other uses my own domain but it's gmail too. I currently have both set up on Mail on my Mac. I receive and send from both. But I really want to have both working through one account (this is mainly to simplify the very clever Sanebox tool on both my Mac and in the Mailbox app on my iPhone).
    If I forward my domain email to my regular gmail then I can receive them all in one fell swoop. Which is fine. But can I then continue to send from both accounts? Is this what they mean by an 'alias'? It's really important that I can send from both.
    Sanebox suggested this: http://support.apple.com/kb/TA23485. I'm not sure I really understand it and don't want to risk changing my settings yet in case it all goes wrong. 
    Thank you very much!

    You can use one ID for iTunes/iTunes Match, and another for iCloud, without any problems. You can add a secondary iCloud account in System Preferences (or Settings)>Mail, contacts and Calendars. Its data will appear alongside the main iCloud account though you cannot use PhotoStream with it.

    I have two Apple ID, how can I delete one and use the email address associates to the main one?

    If you abandon one of the Apple IDs you will also basically be abandoning any content that you have acquired with that Apple ID. Content can only be updated and re-downloaded with the Apple ID that was used to buy it. Apple will not combine the content of Apple IDs and Apple will not transfer the content from one Apple ID to another Apple ID.

    Hi pjerl,
    Depending on when you originally set up your Apple ID, you may have @mac.com, @me.com, and @icloud.com email addresses associated with your account, but all mail sent to those addresses should still come in to the same iCloud account (you can test this to make sure by sending yourself emails at those addresses). You may find the following articles helpful:
    iCloud: About your @icloud.com, @me.com, and @mac.com email addresses
