.mac and .me email duplication

I just got a 3Gs/16g and freakin' love this thing. I'm having a problem where when I get an email sent to me using my .mac address, and I reply to all, my iPhone is cc'ing my .me address to my replies. So unless I manually delete the .me address, I'm always being copied onto my own replies. My phone is set up with the .me address as my default account, and the "always bcc myself" is turned off.
I've played around with this behavior and my iMac, iBook and .me web mail app all handle the situation correctly by not seeing the .mac and .me address as two different accounts and copying myself to replies to all. It only happens on the iPhone. And if I'm emailed using my .me instead of the .mac address, this problem does not occur.
Any insight as to what I can do to prevent this is much appreciated.

Anyone....

  • Problems with .mac and .me email accounts after iCloud

    For over a month I have been locked out of my .mac and .me email accounts on password issues involving iCloud.
    I must have changed (duly confirmed as valid by Apple) a dozen times my iCloud account password and duly updated it to the preferences of mail.
    Still, when I try opening the mail I am prompted to enter the password, which every time fails. Every time I follow the link to replace the pw, I do so, I get the OK from Apple and back to square one ....
    I tried talking to support, but after 40 minutes of waiting I was given an ineffectual tip that did not work. No intention of calling again.
    Can anyone please put an end to my suffering?
    (Yes, I can type. Yes, I have been using Apple computers since 1984. Yes, I regularly enter countless password protected sites, no problem)
    Thanks a lot,
    Luigi

    I understand that they're the same thing but they don't seem to be working like that at the moment... and this has been the case ever since transferring to iCloud.
    The problem I'm having is that if anyone emails my .mac address it returns to sender undeliverable, while the .me address works fine. Similarly, if I try to send an email using .mac it won't send it, but it will using .me. Most of my contacts have the .mac address so I'm not getting any emails.
    If anyone has any advice I'd be most grateful.

  • Deleting .mac and .me email address, iCloud

    I'd like to delete my .mac and .me email address. I frankly don't use them enough and am happy with my other email services. I remember this was available on the mobile me site. I'd also like to delete my iCloud account. How do I accomplish these task?

  • How do I delete old .mac and .me email addresses from the new iCloud email server?

    Now that I have iCloud, all the old .mac and .me email that I never used feeds through it.  Since there is no SPAM filter, I cannot block these emails from getting through and I get lots of spam now.   How do I delete the .mac and .me email addresses?
    Thanks.

    I  set the Rules months ago to automatically put all email sent to those email addresses in TRASH.  However, they still appear in my Mail Trash on my Mac.  Just an annoyance.    Thanks for the response.

  • .mac and multiple email accounts

    I know this stuff has been posted before but I have not been able to get any of the solutions to work.
    I have 1 .mac account that works fine. I have four email addresses registered under this one account. I have set up five accounts on my computer. One master/admin and then one each for myself, my wife and my two children.
    First I would like them to be able to send emails from their own email addresses and not from the 'master'. It was suggested that I enter the email addresses when setting up the mail account in mail. However I am not able to do so, even with a new account. It works for POP and IMAP account types but not for .mac where that crucial field is blanked out.
    If I use POP even though it is .mac then the incoming mail works fine but not the outgoing mail. I do get an option as to which address I would like to use on the outgoing mail... but since it does not go anywhere that is little use.
    Actually I am not sure the outgoing will work anyway and I am not sure why. It appears to be identical to the one computer account that does work and that I have been using as a template....
    I have been struggling with this for hours and I am going gently mad. Any/all help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks, Clarke Pitts.

    Clarke,
    Welcome to the Discussions.
    This is easily accomplished in Tiger and Mail 2.0, but harder in Mail 1.3.11. Do you have any plans to upgrade? See:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mail/2.0/en/ml1114.html
    With Mail 1.3.11, you can set your main .mac address up as an IMAP account, and add each of the other addresses to the email address field in preferences, but you must then use the SMTP of your ISP, and not smtp.mac.com.
    You also can set each one of the .mac aliases up as POP account, and both check to never check for new mail, AND take the account Offline to prevent constant failure message if Mail were try and receive mail for that address. As you set up these alias accounts, you must push ahead, even after Mail tells you that you cannot connect -- you are not trying to connect, since it will be offline. But even tho' Offline, you can still send from each address (but only by using the SMTP of the ISP), and in this mode can have separate Full Name entries for each, and rules can be used to move emails from the .mac Inbox to each Inbox of these alias accounts.
    If your ISP would be one the rare ones to limit From addresses to its own Domain, then this would not work.
    Ask any questions needed.

  • .mac and iPhone email

    I have two email accounts that sync with my iPhone--RCN (now Astound) and .mac. Is it possible to use .mac as my outgoing server for emails sent from my iPhone, either as a default for all emails or selectively by individual message? If so, please explain how.

    Thanks. I have .mac set as my default, but that doesn't quite solve my issue. When I receive an email on my other (RCN) account, is there any way I can reply using .mac? I want to do this because my RCN account seems to go off line when I access it using my iPhone, and I can't send email on that account unless I get back to my computer and reenter the password to go back online.

  • Live Updating/Syncing Between Mac and iPhone eMail Accounts

    I have three primary eMail accounts
         - [email protected] (Cable Provider)
         - [email protected]
         - My School eMail
    I use all these eMails a ton, spending several hours each day. One of my biggest time consumers is having to organize every eMail on my two accounts (iPhone Mail and Mac Mail) by putting them into folders, deleating junkmail and newslatters, ect. Is there some way using iCloud, or another program even to sycronize these mail accounts wirelessly? That way if I move and eMail to a folder on my Mac, it will move to the same folder on my iPhone, and if I delete another eMail on my phone, it is deleted on my Mac too?

    You will have to go the the Photos tab in iTunes when you connect the iPhone.  Then reset the photo sync options.  They were reset with the upgrade to use iCloud by default, but you can change the settings back to sync folders, just like before.

    I have 2 email addresses (1 mac.and 1 blueyonder.) each with separate identities and passwords. I am forever getting asked to verify identity and/or passwords and having these refused and me then having to set up new ones. Can I combine my email addresses to a single Apple Identity and Password? If yes then How?
    Any help much appreciated as this is driving me crazy!

    Depending on what you're asking...
    There is no means to merge Apple IDs.  You can change the mail address assocaited with your Apple ID, so you might switch to using and purchasing from one email address, and using the second as a backup.  (There's no means to merge the purchases, and related baggage.)
    While I'm guessing this was about Apple IDs, for completeness...  Combining the mail messages involving multiple email addresses is separate from the Apple ID; that is usually done with some combination of notifying the senders or with the forwarding of messages from one mail server to the preferred server.  Or running multiple mail accounts in parallel, depending on what you are up to.

  • HT2623 I forgot the password for my .mac account and cannot log into it from Apple Mail.  I have an iCloud mail account but did not convert my .mac account to iCloud.  How can I log into my .mac or .me email?

    I set up .mac, including email, around 2006.  I believe my .mac account became a .me account, but I continued to receive email sent to .mac until about March 2013. 
    I accessed my .mac account using Apple Mail on an iMac running OS X 4.11.  I'm still using that machine.
    In July 2013, I upgraded my MacBook Pro to OS X 8.5, bought an iPod Touch and set up an iCloud account.
    I forgot my .mac password and I want to open an email message sent to my .mac email account. 
    When I attempt to log into my .mac account using Apple Mail, my password attempts are rejected by a .me mail server.
    Is there any way I can restore my access to my .mac or .me email?
    Thanks,

  • Cannot send/reply email on Mac and iPhone

    SOMETIMES I cannot send or reply emails on my Mac, not all the time though. Went to Apple Store where a Genius helped me reset my mail app but turning it off and back on again, it worked there and then but when I got home, I'm still getting the below same message when I try to send or reply sometimes:
    "Connections to the server "p08-smtp.mail.me.com" on the default ports times out.
    Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below or click Try Layer to leave the message in your Outbox until if can be sent."
    This happens on my iPhone as well. Sometimes when I reply to someone's email it'd just sit in the Outbox for more then a day despite numerous attempts to resend. In the end I could only delete it from Outbox and send a new one again. I tried to find answers online without luck, can someone please help?
    Note that if I send/reply on iCloud website, everything works perfectly!
    Many thanks!

  • I have two apple accounts, with two separate iCloud accounts, both with information I need on my iPhone and mac. One email is no longer valid therefore I can't varify it via emial. How do I get info onto my phone or onto one account?

    I have two different email accounts/IDs because one of my account email's is no longer valid, therefore I am unable to verify it via the varification email. I can not use my current email/apple ID to change it to becuase it is set as my backup on the first account. So frustrating because I am now paying for two seperate iclouds and cloud music storage as well. Just bought my mac and I am having trouble getting music onto my iphone because the majority is on the old, non valid email address account but I have to use my current apple ID on my iphone.... any suggestions on how to not lose everything and have it all in one place would be great! Thanks!

    You are going to need to change the email address you use with your old ID. Once you have got access to your old account you will then log into both accounts at the same time on your Mac and transfer your data to a single account. We can do this later, but need you to get access to your old account first.

    There is no such Trojan or other malware known today that will do that using OS X nor has there ever been one. The most probable explanation is that somebody hacked into your e-mail account on the server, so you should change that password to something stronger right away. If it had come from your Mac then there would almost certainly be copies of those messages in your Sent Mail mailbox.

    You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

  • Keeping Gmail email addresss and using Outlook 2011 for Mac and Exchange

    Hi,
    we use gmail for email at present with Outlook on a Mac. Having found that contacts and calendars cannot be synched between Oulook for Mac and Gmail I want to use exchange as a means of getting this sync working between my iPhne, iPad and OSX calendar and
    contacts.
    We actually want to continue with our gmail addresses (because it's too painful to change to anything else). I understand that gmail can forward messages to Exchange and presumably to be read in Outlook for Mac. How do we use Outlook for Mac and Exchange
    to send emails such that they are sent using our gmail email address.
    I.e people are not aware of what is going on in the background - they sent to our gmail address and receive a reply from the gmail address
    Many thanks
    Mike

    Good luck with that.
    You're not going to like this answer, but you should let Exchange be your e-mail system.  Move off Gmail to Exchange on-premises or Online.
