Mail to my .mac address not being received.  Mail to .me is.

Very Strange.  Mail sent to my .me address is recived.  Mail sent to my .mac address is not.  Yet in iCloud I am identifed by my .mac address.

No, can't be done. Backups will occur when you are home if you are using Time Capsule, or when you connect your Time Machine backup drive.
Portable Macs back up locally, while awaiting a connection to your backup device. Try it yourself - you can "Enter Time Machine" and browse recent backups even when you are away from your Time Capsule.
Read about that here: http://pondini.org/TM/30.html. It has limitations - a consequence of sharing your local volume with TM's "local snapshots".
This feature can be disabled in Time Machine Preferences.

  • HT5361 Problems with @mac email NOT being received by others

    Recently people that I have been sending email to and they are in my address book have NOT been receiving a new email from my @mac.com account.  The emails are in my Sent folder and show they have been sent.  If someone sends me an email and I reply everyone sees it.  But not a new email.  Any thoughts on what I can do to find the problem? 
    I've cleaned up my email, rebuilt my inboxes.  Please help!!  I use my @mac for all my business! 
    Oh - this happens no matter where I send the email from - iphone 5 or Ipad or macbook pro.
    Thank you,

    Hi,
    Part of the final question will depend on how you got to have the various email IDs
    If you had an .Mac account and therefore the @mac.com email and then Linked this to @me.com in MobileMe then people can send to either and it will turn up in your mail box.
    The same is true if you then linked the MobileMe @me.com to the iCloud account which moved the @me.com address to iCloud and may have latter given you the @iCloud.com.
    In this case people could send to any of the three IDs and they will be received in your In box.
    You should be able to login to iCloud (the web page) with any of the IDs (they all use the same password) and view the mail from there.
    There should not really be any problem sending from one type of account compared to another.
    I am not aware of any filtering either by Apple on older @mac.com IDs or Google not accepting them.
    In the Window Menu of Mail there is the Connection Doctor which may give further clues.

  • Only Incoming emails not being received on Mac Mail

    Hello,
    I am able to receive incoming emails on my Blackberry as well as my Webmail, but since a couple of days, my incoming Emails are just not being received on my Mac Mail, specific to 1 Account only.  I have multiple accounts on my Mac Mail.
    Please assist.

    Hello Shadab333
    Start with using Connection Doctor to see if there is anything that is preventing it from receiving email. Depending on the settings of that email address in Mail you may not receive them once they have been checked elsewhere. Check out the article below to troubleshoot the issue further.

  • Group addressed e-mails not being received

    My new iPad seems to be receiving e-mails that are specifically addressed to me just fine. But, I have noticed that e-mails addressed to a group of recipients (including me) are not being received on my iPad while my computer does. For example, my employer will send out an e-mail to all of the employees (as a group). I can view the e-mail on my computer but the iPad doesn't receive it. And, I'm using the same e-mail account on both. Why?

    OK, I've worked out how to set up a sub - account.
    BUT
    Concerned that if I set one up it will impact on my current BT Yahoo account, ie could e mails be diverted or will the sub account only be used to persons I share it with? The BTYahoo sub-account is a stand alone account and will only get emails that are addressed to it. If you want emails from it to go to your main account you would need to set up a forwarding rule.
    Also if/when I get replies will I see them on my normal BTYahoo e mail "In Box" page or on a different page? No. You would only see them in your "normal" email inbox if you do as I suggest above and have them forwarded to your "normal" BTYahoo email. If you don't do that the sub-account email behaves in the same manner as any other email account and you would need to log onto it to see the emails.
    Also
    Do you think it will solve the question posed above? You would need to establish what the problem is in the first place such as are the notifications being blocked by your spam filter, are they being sent etc  because the same thing could happen if you have them sent to your new sub-account email.

  • Samsung note II, known issue of aol mail not being received on phone

    I spent hours on the phone with Customer Service this past Wednesday & Thursday because my aol mail is not being received on my new phone. I just did some research online, and found out this has been an issue with AOL and Verizon since December 2012. The Customer Service rep told me this just happened the past week! What a bold faced lie!
    I purchased this phone on or about July 3, and the AOL mail was working fine until this past Wednesday.
    This is a know issue, and yet the lie right to your face about it.
    I had a C/S rep tell me he would call me back later in the day, before he left work. I told him, I have heard that before. Oh, no, I will call you. Of course he didn't call. Your C/S reps think they can say whatever they want, but the calls have been monitored or tracked someway by your computer system.
    I see many others have the same problem with the Samsung Note II and their email accounts.
    Since December this has been going on, don't you think it's time you fixed the problem?
    Two years ago, when I spent $200 on a phone, I said never again. But yet I wanted a 5.5" screen so I paid up! Never again!

    I FINALLY spoke to someone today who was able to solve my problem so far.
    In the PLAY STORE....look for K9 email app.....and download that...put in your AOL email address and password. You should now be able to receive your aol email on your phone.
    It seems he has a Note II also, and had the same problem.
    You would think that MANAGEMENT would tell all their C/S reps how to solve the problem. I guess they would rather lose a customer who has been with them for 10 yrs.

  • Sent mail is not being received

    Some of my emails use my me.com account are not being received by the recipient.
    The emails show being SENT in my SENT box.

    I have a similar but perhaps unrelated problem. Every now and then, I send an email on my gmail account using Mail. The sent mail appears in my sent box, but never arrives, and does not appear in my webmail sent box (where it usually does, using gmail). Most of the time it works, and it even works most of the time with people it has had a problem with, including mail I send to myself at work at my professional address. Usually arrives...but not always. I don't know how to trust my sent mail box without always going on the webmail to make sure it actually went out. I only have this problem when using the Mail application, but there are no other common characteristics (attachements, ISPs, etc) to say there could be a problem with one of those things. Anyone else have this problem?

  • Mail suddenly not being received from server. The ISP tells me there's nothing wrong at his end. I can see emails on the server if I look up WebMail; they don't come into Mail. I haven't changed anything lately.

    Mail suddenly not being received from server. The ISP tells me there's nothing wrong at his end. I can see emails on the server if I look up WebMail; they don't come into Mail. I haven't changed anything lately. The incoming server details haven't changed; the Connection Doctor shows the accounts are connected; I've turned everything off including the modern. Have exhausted my limited knowledge. Anyone with something similar?

    I have decided to dedicate this thread to the wonderful errors of Lion OSX. Each time I find a huge problem with Lion I will make note of it here.
    Today I discovered a new treasure of doggie poop in Lion. No Save As......
    I repeat. No Save As. In text editor I couldn't save the file with a new extension. I finally accomplished this oh so majorly difficult task (because we all know how difficult it should be to save a file with a new extension) by pressing duplicate and then saving a copy of the file with a new extension. Yet then I had to delete the first copy and send it to trash. And of course then I have to secure empty trash because if I have to do this the rest of my mac's life I will be taking up a quarter of percentage of space with duplicate files. So this is the real reason they got rid of Save As: so that it would garble up some extra GB on the ole hard disk.
    So about 20 minutes of my time were wasted while doing my homework and studying for an exam because I had to look up "how to save a file with a new extension in  mac Lion" and then wasted time sitting here and ranting on this forum until someone over at Apple wakes up from their OSX-coma.
    are you freaking kidding me Apple? I mean REALLY?!!!! who the heck designed this?!!! I want to know. I want his or her name and I want to sit down with them and have a long chat. and then I'd probably splash cold water on their face to wake them up.
    I am starting to believe that Apple is Satan.

  • Yahoo e-mails are not being received on iphone 4.

    Yahoo e-mails are not being received on iphone 4.  I had to go website to retrieve about 50 emails from last couple of days.  Everything looks correct in settings and I haven't changed anything that I know of.  Please help if you've encountered this issue.

    I tried the suggestion of deleting the account and starting over from scratch (twice), to no avail.

  • Sharing photos by email - Emails are not being received

    My photos which I have shared by email are not being received, even though I have a confirmation that they have been sent (one photo has been sent).
    I am using a @me.com email address and I have tried to send a photo to myself and this has still not been come through.

    Do you have iPhoto setup to email the photos itself or use Mail to email the photos?

  • Emails being sent not being received

    i have been receiving emails from outside bt ok,
    however im sending emails and its saying email been sent but they not getting through to receiptant,
    they all been sent as shown in sent folder.
    daughter sent me email she with bt and that hasnt been recived yet.
    its driving me mad, emails from outside bt seem to receive ok, But i cant reply to them.
      think im on the bt yahoo mail.

    Same problem.  Have deleted account and reset using BT settings for both IMAP and POP and although the e-mail is sent it is not being received.  Have tried sending to numerous different e-mail addresses but none are received.
    There was another thread with the same problem that is marked as solved but the details of how this was achieved were unknown and not posted.
    Have even reset the BT home hub but not made any difference.
    To add to the misery, e-mail from my iphone is now not being sent saying the password is incorrect.  Nothing has changed since earlier today when the e-mail was working.  Have tried reentering the passwords manually but no luck.
    If I use webmail it all works.
    Started yesterday so although I am now receiving mails, I cannot now send any e-mail unless I use webmail.

  • Email Templates not being received by btinternet.c...

    We are having several issues with emails not being received when sent to btinternet.com addresses.
    The system we use to send the emails is monitored by send grid, which states the emails have been sent, but we are getting reports that the emails aren't being received through btinternet.com. We have checked the dns settings and checked spam folders and nothing is coming through. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
    Many thanks
    Shaun

    If you have a search through the forum you will see it appears to be a common problem without resolution currently. Having a valid SPF record for the sending domain may help but has not always worked. It appears BT's new mail provider (Openwave formerly Critical Path) are not very good and are being unnecessarily agressive with their anti-spam measures.

  • Email notifications not being received

    Email notifications are not being received every time a customers submits data. We stopped receiving notifications after the email came about shutting down the service. We have a half dozen forms live on the web and none of them are sending out notifications. One example is located at Online Complaint | ORCAA. Nothing has changed from the backend and both email addresses that should receive notifications are verified.
    I submitted data to the form and received a notification, but not the 2 email addresses that are listed on the FormsCentral backend. The Adobe domain is whitelisted with GApps.
    Thoughts?

    I've tested your form a bit and it seems that email receipts are working. For me to test email notifications I would need to be a co-author. If you can add me to one of the problem forms I will investigate further and let you know what I find.

  • I'm being asked to enter my ID password on my ipad for icloud, but the email is no longer active and reset remails are not being received.

    I'm being asked to enter my ID pswd on my ipad 2 for icloud. but the email address and ID are no longer being used, and reset emails are not being received. How can I deactivate this? I have another ID which works fine, but this issue with the old ID is not allowing me to use my ipad.  thanks.

    If your iPad is signed into an old ID and you are trying to change it, if the old ID is yours, and if it is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.
