Is it normal to receive emails asking to verify apple email address after upgrading to new iPhone 4s

I recently upgraded my phone to an iPhone 4s. The phone works fine purchased things from iTunes, then received two emails asking to verify apple email address within a minute of each other, clinked on one link and verified my email and it told me my email was verified but I would have to go to settings to activate mobile me (don't know what that is but it not on my phone) have not clinked on second email. Is this normal.

MobileMe is dead now.
Sounds like phishing to me I would delete them

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.

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.

I am trying to read my iMessages from my iPhone 4S on my iPad 2, but the messages do not show up on my iPad 2. I made sure that the receiving email address is the same on both devices and both are signed into my single Apple account.

Is it possible that the person who sent the message to your phone sent it to your phone # instead? Try sending a message to your phone via the email address and see if it shows up on the iPad.

I forgot all of the answers to my security questions and when I set up my apple id I did not add a rescue email, I recently got a new iphone and I cannot purchase anything on it because it asks me to answer my security questions which i can't reset, help!

I forgot all of the answers to my security questions and when I set up my apple id I did not add a rescue email, I recently got a new iphone and I cannot purchase anything on it because it asks me to answer my security questions which i can't reset because I do not have a rescue email. what do I do?

this does not help. I have forgotten ALL of the answers to my security questions. I can NOT reset the answers to my security questions without answering two of the three security questions. The other way to reset the answers to these questions is for apple to send me an email on my rescue email addres which I DO NOT HAVE.

I deleted my old email address and added a new one, after my iPhone died iCloud keeps popping up asking for the password of my old email address. I can't remember my password and the account is still gone, it pops up every few seconds. How can I fix this?

If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare(or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

How to Share File to specific receiver email address

I'm develop a windows store app using winRT C++. I can share a file through email but it cannot specific a receiver
email address. Bellow is a part of my code to sharing a file:-
DataRequest^ request = e->Request;
request->Data->Properties->Title = "Testing";
request->Data->Properties->Description = "Email With Attachment";
DataRequestDeferral^ deferral = request->GetDeferral();
create_task(Windows::ApplicationModel::Package::Current->InstalledLocation->GetFileAsync("testing.pdf")).then([this, request, deferral](task<StorageFile^> getFileTask)
try
auto pdfFile = getFileTask.get();
auto storageItems = ref new Platform::Collections::Vector<IStorageItem^>();
storageItems->Append(pdfFile);
request->Data->SetStorageItems(storageItems);
deferral->Complete();
catch (Exception^ ex)
// Calling FailWithDisplayText() also calls Complete on the deferral.
request->FailWithDisplayText(ex->Message);
How can I send the attachment file to a specific email receiver without fill in the email address manually.

Hi Tonberry,
Based on my knowledge, you are using the correct way to share files in windows store app. The share app provides some frequent Contacts as the following image. But there is no options to set the recipients programmatically. If you want this feature, I would
recommend you feature a request on

I have 3 email addresses with my ISP. How do I set up my iPhone to receive emails addressed from any one of these addresses

I have 3 email addresses with my ISP. How do I set up my iPhone to receive emails addressed from any one of these addresses

Even though they share the same incoming and outgoing server settings, each is a distinct account, so you just need to set up 3 accounts on your iPhone, one for each email address.
Or, since these are all from the same ISP, do they have online account management tools to let you forward two of those to the one account you want to be the "master" account? You still may want separate accounts on your iPhone though, as an account can only have one address associated with it for the "reply" field when responding to emails.

Receive email notifications after contributions?

I was wondering if there's an option to automatically receive email notifications after a contributer has posted comments/reviews. Otherwise I might forget to check or miss comments that were sent by the clients because I didn't know they updated the project. I checked the account settings and all but couldn't find an option for this.
Thanks in advanced!

You have to upgrade to a paid subscription to get email notifications.

Keeping BT email address after cancelling BT Broad...

Hi,
I have recently cancelled my BT Broadband service (due to a move abroad) but would like to continue using my BT email service (currently an address @btinternet.com, still on BT Yahoo Mail).
This page states clearly that the email service can be retained as long as I keep using it:
http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/13140/~/what-happens-to-my-bt-internet-email-account-...
However, the cancellation e-mail I received from BT is also very clear about the e-mail service being lost unless I sign up for BT Premium Mail:
FREE BT email - you'll be able to use your BT email for 30 days after 20 Aug 2014, but then we'll close the account and permanently delete your emails, contacts, calendar and notes. If you'd like to keep your BT email account, you can sign up to BT Premium Mail for just £1.60 a month (which you'll need to do before we close your account). With BT Premium Mail you can keep using your @btinternet or @btopenworld email accounts no matter who provides your broadband. Find out more at bt.com/keepmyemail
Could one of the BT Mods please confirm that the email account will remain active and won't be deleted?
Thanks,
Guillem

Hi guillem,
I'm sorry about any confusion around the cancellation of your BT broadband. Your email will continue to work for 30 days after you've cancelled your broadband however if you wish to continue using your @btinternet.com email address after this time you will need to subscribe to the premium mail service.
Thanks
Neil

HT5624 My husband and I share an Itunes account so use the same email address and password. Our iphones are now connected and we get each other's messages and share each other's contacts. How can we stop this happening?

My husband and I share an Itunes account so use the same email address and password. Our iphones are now connected and we get each other's messages and share each other's contacts. How can we stop this happening?

A couple of different approached:
Create a second AppleID for one of you that includes the email address and phone number you wish to use for messaging, but do not apply it to the iTunes and app store (just keep the current one). My wife and I do this and it works quite well. Also allows for easier syncing of Contacts , notes etc. using icloud if you wish to do that.
Add additional emails/phone numbers to the existing account and change the Send/Receive settings for Messages. this will not fix the Contcts isues for you however.

How do I delete my email address and open a new one?

How do I delete my email address and open a new one on icloud? I want the sender of email to receive "account deleted" when they try to send me an email.

That isn't possible, you cannot delete an iCloud account, you can only stop using it.

HT201342 I'd like to change my iCloud email address or create a new one, how do I do this?

I'd like to change my iCloud email address or create a new one, how do I do this? I'm starting a new business and I've not really used my iCloud email address, I'd like to change the name to the business name. Can I do this? If so, how?

You can't change an iCloud email address. You can create an alias address to use that will receive email in your current iCloud inbox, but it will still be an @icloud.com address. If you want to do this, this article explains how to create an alias: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622. Note: once you create an alias address, you can't use it to create a new iCloud account, move it to another account, of reactivate it should you ever delete it.
You should also be aware that iCloud is designed for personal rather than business use, and as such, there are limits place on iCloud email accounts as outlined here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4863.

How do I delete my icloud email address and create a new one?

You can't, except by creating a new iCloud account. But you can create an @icloud.com email alias address to use that will receive email in your current inbox (see http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622). (Note: alias addresses cannot later be used to create a new iCloud account, nor can they be moved to another account or be reactivated should you ever delete them.)
