Manually configure icloud for mail in OSX 10.6.8

Hi
Running SnowLeopard on an iMac. Still using Quicken 2007 which needs rosetta.
Previously getting mail [MobileMe] worked perfectly. Now no longer so.
Can anyone advise on how to manually enter an email account in SnowLeopard to access iCloud please?
Thanks, Rory Scott

This solved my Problem
I Was trying to make Mail work today for now just 7 hours under SnowLeo...
The tip for changing the Password was it...
I did everything absolutely correct (and the time spend was for nothing).
And after Password Change everythings fine.
In formertimes that was only the behavior of Windows - that has changed. Theres no "Thinking different" any longer... Making Money (with selling new things) is the Motto.
Wonder what´s not longer supported after next OS Update.
MAC spits and spits on his customers... Especially on that, who made the company big.
You had the wrong password and took 7 hours (with help) to figure it out?
How exactly are Apple responsible for that?

Configuring cronie for mailing output [solved]

Hi,
I am having a hard time setting up cronie for mailing output. Jump to the last sentence for the actual question.
From man 8 cron, I read that the -m option "allows you to specify a shell command to use for sending Cron mail output instead of using sendmail(8). This command must accept a fully formatted mail message (with headers) on standard input and send it as a mail message to the recipients specified in the mail headers". I do have msmtp installed. I can do this and receive email successfully:
$ msmtp -t << eof
> To: <my address>@gmail.com
>
> test
> eof
Thus I know that msmtp -t is the command I must provide with the -m option.
Then, I followed these instructions and created /etc/systemd/system/cronie.service.d/mailing.conf which contains:
[Service]
ExecStart=
ExecStart=/usr/bin/crond -n -m 'msmtp -t'
Note: the first, empty ExecStart cancels the former one from the original .service file.
After starting cronie.service, this is the result of systemctl status cronie.service:
cronie.service - Periodic Command Scheduler
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/cronie.service; enabled)
Drop-In: /etc/systemd/system/cronie.service.d

Jun 24 22:58:24 electron crond[1457]: (CRON) INFO (@reboot jobs will be run at computer's startup.)
It seems that systemd drops the single quotes and takes -t as it's own parameter instead of passing it to msmtp. You can also see that crond logged "Syslog will be used instead of sendmail". I can actually see the output of my commands in /var/log/crond.log. How should I quote the space between msmtp and -t in the ExecStart line of my .service file?

Hi,
Thanks a lot for your help. The issue is [solved].
dif wrote:You have to create a file /etc/aliases that holds the addresses where e-mail notifications will be sent to when a user's cronjob creates an output.
It seems unnecessary. The MAILTO variable set in the crontab accepts a complete email address.
dif wrote:Contrary to Wiki, there are no commas separating e-mail addresses if there are a few in a line.
The msmtp man page also says to put commas.
dif wrote:
There is a special script distributed with Arch that is able to scan /etc/aliases for a valid domain address and then calls msmtp. Here is its path
/usr/share/doc/msmtp/find_alias/find_alias_for_msmtp.sh

sudo cp /usr/share/doc/msmtp/find_alias/find_alias_for_msmtp.sh /usr/bin/find_alias_for_msmtp.sh
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/find_alias_for_msmtp.sh /usr/bin/sendmail

ln -s /usr/share/doc/msmtp/find_alias/find_alias_for_msmtp.sh /usr/bin/sendmail
Also, I had to modify the find_alias_for_msmtp.sh script a little because cronie calls sendmail without any parameters:

Or maybe I missed something. I submitted the patch upstream to see if they think it's relevant.

TS4002 Manually changing settings for Mail after iCloud switch?

I'm using Mail for Mac (ver 4.5) with OS X.6.8 at home and am suddenly NOT able to check mail. Should I have to change mail settings once I am switched over to iCloud??

Yes
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.

How to configure iCloud for a family

WIth the move from MobileMe to iCloud, I am challenged with how to best configure multiple Apple ID's, Mobile Me legacy accounts, and iCloud accounts for a family of four.
Intentions:
- Have the ability to unify family purchased music, movies, apps, as well as photos into one place
- All family members have the ability to access above media library
- Share this media in a way that is low maintenance and more secure than sharing with friends
Pre-iCloud:
- A single Apple ID ([email protected]) that I use for Apple store purchasing, this community, etc.
- A single MobileMe account ([email protected]) that until now I have used on all iOS and Mac devices INCLUDING MY WIFE AND KIDS (oops?)
Since iCloud:
- Setup the [email protected] as an iCloud account (had no legacy data)
- Migrated [email protected] from MobileMe to iCloud account
- Setup [email protected] as a new iCloud account
- Setup [email protected] as a new iCloud account
- Setup [email protected] as a new iCloud account
The trouble is, I have no way to 'link' [email protected], wife@, boy@, and girl@ to do any sharing that [email protected] or [email protected] couldn't also access.
What's the "Apple way" of setting up a family in iCloud?

For this very reason, I switched my family calendars over to Google several months ago. I have a family of 4 as well and my children are fairly young, so I wanted them to be able to see my calendar without risk of them accidentally deleting something from it. I was able to set up a separate account for each family member and then "delegate" calendar permissions to other family members. My wife and I can update all four calendars. My children can each update their own calendar, and can see the other calendars, but can't update them. None of the calendars are visible to the public.
I hope this helps you with that one issue. I wish I could answer all of your questions, but I can't. I'm struggling with how to best manage a family of four in this new environment myself and will keep an eye on your thread here in hopes of finding answers to my own questions. I also started my own thread before finding yours. I'll link to it in case any helpful information turns up there:

I created folders in iCloud for mail to be filed, but i can't see those on my Mac in mail. WHat gives?

i signed up for icloud....love it.....was cleaning up emails remotely and created a great set of folders on icloud to file away old mails.....but i don't see any of those folders on my mac, just my mobile devices....help! <Edited by Host> THANKS!!!

Did you try creating a new mailbox on your mac's mail application and choosing iCloud as its location in the New Mailbox window, you can create a new mailbox using the '+' icon in the bottom LH corner of the mail window.

HT6030 where is menu bar for mail in OSX maverick?

The menu bar on Mail is missing. I am using Maverick

The Menu Bar is at the top of your screen, as it is for all applications.
You need to click in Mail (so it has focus) to see Mail's menu bar.

Is there a "Configuration utility" for SE android phones?

Hi, I'm wondering If there Is an application similar to Apples "Iphone Configuration utility" for SE Android phones?

http://support.apple.com/kb/DL926
It gives you the ability to craft configuration profiles (for mail, wlan and so on) and activate them on the phone via a PC or Mac. I work in a support enviroment and this would be a great app for us (remote to customers computer and use app to configure phone).

How to configure SMTP for iCloud?

I have never used the Mail program on my macs. I started using Eudora in 1995 and when Mail came along some years later, i didn't take to it, it didn't have the functionality i needed and enjoyed. Fast forward to a couple days ago, my Snow Leopard MacBook is wearing out and i got a new MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion. When i was setting up the new computer, i thought iCloud would be configured automatically. It wasn't because i have a couple of different Apple IDs but i think that is straightened out now and i'm signed in using the me.com email address and have my calendars and contacts syncing with iphone and my other computer. Mail is working, but only for my me.com email address which i rarely use. I mainly use a gmail address.
I don't want to use Mail and i don't want mail to be downloaded to it. That happened on my other computur, so that i had tens of thousands of messages in a program i never open and don't use. So i somehow turned it off so it no longer gets the mail from my other accounts. i don't want to receive email in Mail. But because i can't use Eudora in Mountain Lion, i need a new email client. Today, i downloaded and installed Mail Mate, i want to try it out. When I tried to use Mail mate to send an email i got a message saying "No SMTP server configured for iCloud." i googled how to configure SMTP for iCloud and what i found said it configures automatically. So i don't know what to do. I went to ICloud in system preferences and i don't see anything i can do there.
Is there anything i can get it to do to configure automatically? All my software is up to date, if that makes a difference.

i was persistently googling search terms for this problem and came across a link that gave information to the effect that for non Apple email clients, SMTP has to be configured manually, and the settings were provided. I entered them into Mail Mate and now it works. So thankfully, this problem is solved.

How to configure N9 for push e-mail?

Does anybody know how to configure N9 for push e-mail? It should be possible because push email is part of Nokia's N9 official specs but I'm unable to find any reference in the manual or online.

I know that I am late to the party but just got my N9. The push email works fine for my Exchange & my Gmail but for my mail.com account (which I believe is really AOL) it only syncs when I manually tell it to. I have it set to "always up to date" ... does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!
Update: just fixed it myself but in case it helps anyone I turned on the Push Notifications & that did the trick. Which is kind of odd bc I notifications from my Gmail & MS Exchange automatically did it but I guess that feature has to be turned on for this email.
Wish all the features on the N9 had the "I" icon which you could press for more info as I thought that option would just let you know when your email was syncing (like the little arrow on the top right). Oh well - now if I can just get my contacts/calendar off of my PC's OutLook & onto my N9 ...................
Cheers!

HT4898 Why is Apple downgrading sync support for Mail with iCloud?

In the past, if I didn't move forward when Apple moved forward, all that happened was that I did not have access to new features.
This time, with the demise of MobileMe and the introduction of iCloud, if I don't move forward I lose features, but even worse, even if I do move forward, I still lose features.
In particular, the lack of syncronization under iCloud of Mail's Rules, Accounts, and Smart Mailboxes means that on our several machines I have to manually do updates multiple times, which of course leads to multiple mistakes.
In my view, what Apple has done has the look and feel of customer abuse, something usually attributed to another large tech company. I can't avoid losing functionality, whether or not I move forward with Apple.
The word disgraceful comes to mind.
Is there a good reason for Apple's policies that concern Mail-feature synchronization? I'd like to hear them.

What is the point in speculating? All it does is lead to misinformation being put out, a lot of which ends up being taken as fact by those who don't realise it is just speculation. Speculating on unproven facts does not lead to understanding. If you don't know the true reason for something, how can you understand it?
I should not have picked up on the word, speculate, which you introduced in your first reply to me. These are called Apple Support Communities, after all, and so I was hoping there was a reader somewhere who knew more about the tech world, in particular Apple's world, than I do, and was also someone who could shed light on why Apple has taken the path it has taken.
And Apple aren't saying you can't speculate at all - just not here, on Apple's official forums ... . We're Apple's guests on these forums so ... you abide by the rules.
So, I checked the Terms of Use, and of course, you are correct. Apple wants no criticism of their policies on the Apple Support Communities forums. The ASC forums are operated on Apple's dollar, and hence they have the right to manage the forums as they see fit.
The "agreements" we sign every day to use various digital services (or banking services, for that matter) are not negotiated understandings. They are of the form, "our way or the highway".
Exactly, and if you don't agree with it. Don't use it. Nobody is holding a gun to your head. MobileMe and iCloud and all the other services Apple offers are optional. Nobody has to use them.
I'm disappointed that you used the gun-to-your-head argument, because it stands out as sophmoric, especially in the light of your other observations. Today's corporations do everything they can to insulate themselves from legal actions of disgruntled customers. Some of that is understandable because of the litigious nature of our society. But the one sided agreements, tantamount to sign and we play, otherwise we take our ball and bat and go home, are in fact a de facto coercion to sign. Were we all to say, No, to such agreements, our society would have to return to the pre-transistor era. In order to live in our modern society, we have to sign.
I went right to the top months ago, but as is common with the stereotypical large corporation, and now Apple, I was totally ignored.
Just because you didn't receive a reply, doesn't mean your email was not considered. ...
And making requests via email to a CEO isn't like a drive-thru restaurant where they take your order and immediately do as you asked (shareholder or not).
As a matter of logic, the fact that someone does not answer one's letter does not mean that the letter was not read or considered. As a matter of probability, however, it is quite likely that the letter was ignored or read and ignored, especially since CEO's of large corporations have a staff to handle things like this. I wrote to Cook because it was reported that he paid attention.
And thanks for educating me on the difference between a CEO and a drive-thru restaurant.
Well, in keeping with the ASC Terms of Use, I'm not supposed to be talking about any of this. So with due deference to the Terms, over and out.

HT1277 Can't sync my icloud with mail... always ask for password

Can't sync my icloud with mail... always ask for password

You have been using MobileMe's email settings, which sometimes continue to work for a time after migration but then get turned off. iCloud's mail server settings are different. Strictly speaking Lion 10.7.2 is required for iCloud, and on that Mail is set up automatically.
Snow Leopard cannot access most of iCloud's facilities, however you can set Mail up manually to access your email. The method is described here:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudmail.html
The situation with iCloud and Snow Leopard is described in detail here:

HT4864 Configuring iCloud's incoming mail server

I am using Mac's (10.7.5) mail client and trying to configure the iCloud incoming mail server but I cannot enter any info in that section.
Can anyone help me, please?

You shouldn't need to set Mail up yourself - if you are already signed into iCloud in System Preferences, sign out then sign back in again and enable Mail in the checklist there (and any other data types you want to sync). This will set Mail up for you. Your data will disappear from your Mac when you sign out but will reappear when you sign back in.
