Mail Accounts Mixed by iCloud

Since I have installed Mavericks I see a strange an concerning behavior of osx mail: sudently I can see all my business partners email address of an exchange account that is not setup on osx. The exchange account only exists on my iPhone parallel to an iCloud account.
When I now type an email address on my private system, I get suggestions of all the email addresses of my business account. IMHO iCloud is syncing ALL accounts from the iPhone instead only the iCloud account. For enterprises this is in my mind a huge data privacy issue as all employee emails are now published in Apples iCloud.
Has anybody seen a similar behavior ?

Some people seem to think, iCloud will sync other email accounts as well as iCloud mail, it can't do that, but it won't stop you using other mail accounts in the same way as you always have done, perhaps that's what you have heard.

  • Can't set mail account up as iCloud IMAP

    Following upgrade to Mountain Lion, have tried several times to persuade Mail to accept my principal account as an iCloud IMAP, including deleting account. However it always reverts to a MobileMe IMAP account. Could this be because I have an @mac.com alias?

    Try changing your alias. I think the @mac.com alias is probably causing your problem.
    What are you using for your alias when setting up the account in Mail?
    Do you have a @me.com email address?
    I have an alias of @icloud.com, which I got by getting a @me.com email address.

  • HT1199 Why is mail stuck in a do-loop of "There is a problem" with the mail account after changing iCloud password?  How can it be fixed?

    After changing passwords for iCloud, Mail is stuck in a do-loop "There is a [problem..."  The error appears in less than one second after responding "Later"

    Nope.  Turns out that even though I have two Macs running 10.9.4, the one in question doesn't get the SMTP settings changed by iCloud settings when the password is changed, so I had to "Edit" the account in Mail, plow down to the password settings for the Apple SMTP server, and change the password myself.  Nothing in the System Preferences iCloud setting tab lets you change any settings on the local machine.  Apple is sure they are controlling everything when you make changes in iCloud, but they are wrong.  Identical versions of 10.9.4 are configured differently on two different Macs.

  • I upgraded to Mt. Lion and now I have duplicates in notes and contacts on my iPhone 3gs. Is this a sync issue? I have 4 e-mail accounts and the iCloud is one of them.

    Maybe my title says to much. I have multple contacts, notes, sometimes just two, sometimes 14. I upgraded to Mt. Lion and that may be an issue or maybe syncing is the issue. It is making me crazy/er! I have 4 e-mail contact lists and that may be part of the issue with e-mail but why duplicate notes? I am stumped. Please give your thoughts for a solution. I have deleted the duplicates from iPhone (3gs, iMac, and iPad2).
    Thanks,
    Jim

    I forgot to say that the duplicate entries return after I have deleted them. Strange to me is why do some contacts show up as many as 14 times. I am suspecting that there could be an issue with iCloud or iTunes. Truly a mystery to me for now.

    My phone will not5 send from the correct address tht I want my mail sent from. Although my mail goes into the correct mail accout answeres leave with the incorrect sent from address.
    I want to be able to send mail corectly.

    In Mail Preferences/Accounts/each GMail account, set up the SMTP Outgoing Server for each account separately, going into SMTP name/edit/Advanced and specify the Username of each account.  The Outgoing servers must be two different servers, authenticated by the Username and Password of each.
    Otherwise, the GMail SMTP server will change the from address to that of the account where the SMTP server was setup.

  • HT201342 Deleting an @iCloud e-mail account

    How do I delete an @iCloud e-mail account from my iCloud account.  My son (7) created an iCloud account and it has become the master e-mail for all of our iCloud linked devices.

    You can create an alias email address, which is not a separate account but will receive email in your current iCloud inbox (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a490a), but as you may have read, you cannot change the master email address short of creating a new iCloud account.

  • Cannot send mail from any mail account

    I have a Mac Mini, late 2014 model, running OS X Yosemite version 10.10.2.   I have constant difficulty sending mail from any of my mail accounts; these are iCloud, Googlemail, Yahoo and a personal one which uses 123-reg.co.uk.  I am currently located in Greece, but have been having trouble for ages, even in the UK.  I can receive mail, but I don't seem able to send it.  Error message is usually simply cannot send mail using this server, select a different server.  However, when connection doctor is run, all servers appear to be connected and I am logged in.  Any ideas please?

  • Can't delete or edit a Mail account that is unable to connect and it keeps notifying me

    Can't delete or edit a Mail account that is unable to connect and it keeps notifying me and asking for password. Macbook Pro with Yosemite. If I highlight the account and go to Mailboxes, "Edit smart mailbox" is greyed out. Delete the mailbox is an option, but the mailbox just doesn't go away and no error message displayed. Tried Mail/Preferences/Accounts, highlighting account and using minus sign, it tells me the account is shared by other applications and gives me an option to go to Internet Accounts. At Internet Accounts, the only mail account showing is iCloud. Meanwhile, the pesky Mail icon is jumping around the bottom of my screen.
    Can anyone help?

    Did you ever find a fix for this? Mine is doing exactly the same thing, even with 2.01 - I hoped that might fix it. I'd rather not have to reset and erase the whole phone.

  • Sync Mail Account Settings

    Hi All,
    I have two machines:
    MacPro OS 10.7.2
    MacBookPro OS 10.7.2
    I am using iCloud to sync info between them. 
    Me.com used to allow you to syncronize mail account settings, and iCloud does not, so I have two questions:
    1. Is there anyway to sync mail account settings between two computers?
    2. If not, can you export a file that contains the settings from one computer to import it into another?
    Thanks for you time!
    Rob

    Hi Illaas,
    Thanks for your response.
    You don't mention whether you are looking in iTunes or Finder. However, it does not really matter: either way I do not see emails as a sync option.
    Under Finder, my iPad is not showing as a separate device.
    Under iTunes under Devices, when I click on my iPad, I see lots of tabs (Summary, Info, Apps, Movies, Music, TV Shows, Podcasts, iTunesU, Books and Photos) but no Mail.
    I ended up creating each Mail account individually, so this issue is not really resolved but I found a workaround.
    Thanks for your input.

  • Multiple iCloud mail accounts on one computer

    We had a family pack on mac.com and when we moved the accounts to icloud (on  the same mac), the mac can no longer get email from one of the accounts... icloud is not accepting the pasword for this account - however, withut making any changes to the account or password, mail is being retrieved without a problem on the ipad and iphone....and w can log into this acount wihtout a problem on icloud.com
    any ideas???

    I'm not exactly sure what you are asking here. If you're asking about multiple iCloud accounts on the same Mac, then yes this is possible. You can only have one primary iCloud account (you need a primary account for photo stream, Back to My Mac, find my phone and documents and data) you can set up secondary accounts at system preferences > mail contacts and calendars.
    If you have already set up a secondary account and it isn't working properly try deleting it and adding it back again.
    And for the avoidance of doubt, if you are migrating from a family Mobile me account, you need to migrate each sub account into a new iCloud account, there are no family pack iCloud accounts.

  • Cannot retrieve email from Mail account on iCloud

    SInce Tuesday, Sept 11th I have been unable to retrieve my messages on my iCloud mail account.  Mail doesn't work on my MacBook Pro or any of my devices (iphone or ipad).  When I try to log on to iCloud I can see my calendar and contacts, however I cannot access my mail.  When I ran Connection Doctor I get the following message:
    "Trying to log in to this iCloud IMAP account failed.  Verify that the username and password are correct.  Also verify that the server supports Apple Token authentication.  If it does not, choose an appropriate authentication setting in the Advanced tab of the Account preferences."
    Mail continues to place this email account in an offline position moments after I click to take it online.
    I've read some reports of others having this problem occur on Tuesday as well.  Is this an iCloud issue?  Please advise.

    You can try deleting the account on your iphone and setting it up again.

  • HT1277 I can't see my email in Mail on my computer (OS 10.8.5) only in my iPhone (iOS7). Mail on my computer doesn't sense there are new emails. I use iCloud mail account. Anyone knows the solution, Apple support has not bothered to answer. .-((

    My Mail program doesn't show mail adressed to my icloud account. Messages show up on my iPhone but rarely on my iMac. I wrote Apple Support about this but they didn't even bother to answer.

    You’re welcome.
    Sometimes messages left on the server clog up the account there, or Mail chokes on a message it cannot download and that prevents it from downloading the rest as well. Solving this problem will probably require removing one or more messages from the server. What are your Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Remove copy from server settings for this account?
    You may tell Mail to remove from the server all the messages that have already been downloaded by means of Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Remove now. Alternatively, you may use the Account Info window to remove specific messages from the server. And if the account allows web access, you may also remove messages from the server that way.
    Try removing from the server messages that have already been downloaded and/or the first message not downloaded yet (i.e. the message that Mail appears to be choking on).
    You may want to try to download those messages with another mail client such as Thunderbird first, to avoid losing them — and use Eudora Mailbox Cleaner to import them back into Mail afterwards if you wish.

  • I had a MobileMe account before... after upgrading to iOS 5, should I keep my account info under iCloud (settings) AND under mail, contacts and calendars (in Settings as well) or only keep the info under the new iCloud setting section?

    I had a MobileMe account before... after upgrading to iOS 5, should I keep my account info under iCloud (settings) AND under mail, contacts and calendars (in Settings as well) or only keep the info under the new iCloud setting section?

    That's not the correct port. It should be 993 for incoming.
    If you signed into iCloud from the System Preferences, it should automatically create the iCloud account for you in Mail. Sounds like it is an account you already had set up for MMe in Mail.
    Open Mail preferences, open the Accounts tab, disable that account in the advanced pane.
    Open Sys Prefs, open the iCloud tab, and sign out of iCloud. Then sign back in and see if a new iCloud account is automatically created.
