Mac email addresses

Hi, I'm comfused about my .mac.com email address!
I've been told its active until June 2012. What happens after this? Do I have to pick a new (non mac) email address?
I like having a mac address and dont want to get a hotmail, gmail or any other account.
Please help!!!

Do I have to pick a new (non mac) email address?
No. Just keep using the same email address.
Yes. If you have an active MobileMe account when you sign up for iCloud, you can keep your me.com or mac.comemail address and any email aliases you have created and move your MobileMe mail, contacts, and calendars, as well as your bookmarks, to the new service. When you're ready to make the move, go to www.me.com/move.

  • Cannot send emails from mac email address

    Over the past 24hrs I am unable to send emails from my ibook and sporadically from my iphone. Please advice what the settings should be for SMTP and port. I think this might be the problem but I am unsure. I have a mac email address. I can send emails from my icloud account. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    Wow, after research I can't believe what a problem BT is!???
    This post by vanessa seems to have gelped many that could not send...
    Just set up my macmail with the help of the BT guys after a year of struggling! Hopefully this could work for others for whom the emails will receive but NOT send....
    Set up your 3rd party domain names via the mail relay system and confirmed via BT. Then try these settings.....
    In your @btconnect.com email set its up using these:
    incoming mail server: pop3.btconnect.com
    username: the bt email
    password: the bt email password you supplied
    outgoing mail: we'll come to this!
    on the drop down box next to Outgong mail server (SMTP) select 'edit SMTP server list'
    press '+'  button and add these details....
    In the Account information tab:
    Description: mail.btconnect.com
    Server Name: mail.btconnect.com
    In the advanced tab:
    Select 'Use default ports'
    Authentication: Password
    username: the bt email
    password: the bt email password you supplied
    NOW The next bit, the 'second' server....
    press '+' fro a new server add these details....
    In the Account information tab:
    Description: second server (or any name you want)
    Server Name: mail.btconnect.com
    In the advanced tab:
    Select 'Use default ports'
    Authentication: NONE!
    Now on all your email addresses back in the accounts section, set the SMTP server to 'second server' (or whater you hae called it) NOT mail.btconnect.com and select Use only this server.

  • I have a .mac email address, can i use this as a regular email address?

    I have a .mac email address which i set up for ichat (ages ago) how can i use this as a regular email address in an email client? Is there SMTP/POP details?

    With the introduction of iCloud, Apple has discontinued its "@mac.com" addresses support and has switched to Users using "@me.com" suffixes.  To utilize this you will need to setup an iCloud account with a new Apple ID. And Apple discontinued iChat and has switched to Messages.app, using Apple ID's.
    Hope this helps

  • I have been using my .mac email address for many years without a problem.  Suddenly over the last few days the emails have been coming in sporadically.  I know this becasue all the emails are coming in on my phone and on the laptop, not on iMac.

    I have been using my .mac email address for many years without any problem.  Suddenly the emails are coming in sporadically or not at all.  I know this because they are all coming in on my phone and laptop.  My gmail account seems unaffected with emails coming in fine.   Any ideas?  Thanks

  • Cancelling 2nd .MAC email address but keeping name as alias?

    I've got a .mac email address which is my primary email address. But I opened a second email address as a business email address. All the mail goes to the same account. But now I'd like to cancel my second email address and re-open it as an ALIAS in my primary email account. Is that possible? or is the second email address gone forever...
    I hope that makes sense... thanks in advance for any help.

    Bruno...
    devoted to this the @mac address so it is very important to get it working.
    Try resetting the password associated with your .mac account.

  • HT5225 use a imac  os x 10.4.11.  I can't access my mail as of late yesterday.  Is there a system problem or can I now longer use my .mac email address.  I do not have any other device including a phone.  thanks

    I reset the password. As you instructed, but that was not enough to solve the problem.
    To solve the problem I also did the following:
    For my user name I included @me.com., but I'm not sure that made any difference.
    I think the key to solving this was that I pushed past the error I got on the Outgoing Mail Server window. I wasn't sure I should do that but I was desperate:
    Next I got this window and checked SSL.
    That was it!
    Finally I went into account preferences and checked the outgoing mail server settings to be sure the server port was correct. It was.
    Thank you for your help.

    I believe they discontinued all mobile.me accounts yesterday.  It's been in the planning for a long time with lots of notification.  I believe you can still get access to the e-mail from Tiger but you'd need to browse past discussions on this forum for details on how.

  • HT204053 Specific: I have 2 .mac email accounts, one of them has a sub-address. Can I keep all 3 .mac email addresses in iCloud?

    I have 2 .mac email accounts, one of them has a sub-address. Can I keep all 3 .mac email addresses in iCloud?

    You will need to migrate each account seperately using the Move website, the alias will also be migrated to iCloud with whichever account it is under (the only problem with aliases, occurs when you have more than 3 in an account)
    When you log into iCloud on the computer running Lion, iCloud will update your mail accounts for you, on the computers running Snow Leopard you will have to set up the mail accounts manually. Delete your mail account from Mail preferences and set it up again using the Mail Server Information.
    Some users have apparently encountered issues using this information in pre-Lion set ups (I haven't), Roger Wilmut has kindly provided instructions for those who find themselves with this problem.
    Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard
    You won't be able to use your iCloud contacts and calendars on the computers running snow leopard with Address book and iCal, but can access them from the web interface at iCloud.com

  • HT5622 .mac mail - I still use my .mac email address to access itunes, icloud, etc. Every once in a while, apple sends me confirmation, reservation, etc. emails to the .mac address. Can someone tell me how to access that email account?

    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:

  • 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.

  • Does .mac email address only work with MobileMe

    My subscription to MobileMe has expired and I can no longer receive email at my .mac email address.
    Does anyone know if you can still have a .mac email address without having to use mobileme.

    You .mac email address is supplied by Apple via MobileMe. If you have chosen to not continue with MobileMe, you no longer have a .Mac email address.
    If you wish to keep using Apple's email service, you must renew MobileMe.
    If you don't, then you'll need to get another email address from some other provider like gmail, yahoo, your ISP, etc.

  • HT4436 Mac email address on iCloud?

    What is the advantage of having another Mac email address like iCloud?  My current @mac address works fine on my iPad, iPhone &amp; my MacBook.  I do not see any benefit to creating another address and pin.

    No PIN is invoved. The @icloud.com version of your address - which many people have been impatient to get - is additional to your existing @mac.com and @me.com addresses, which continue to work exactly as before. All are the same account, and you don't have to create another account to deal with it: the login remains the same. The only difference from before is that newly created aliases will only be @icloud.com. Since the name of the service is iCloud is makes sense to have an email address which reflect this (and which is all which will be available to new users).
