Mssgs addressed to .Mac Mail aliases

Does anyone know why mail addressed to my .Mac Mail aliases does not get delivered to my iLife '05 Mail on my computer? The mail addressed to my aliases is delivered only to my .Mac Mail on the internet. I have the aliases set up in Mail/Preferences/Accounts of my iLife Mail on my computer. I read in the discussion posts that I cannot send mail from these alias accounts with iLife '05--can't I receive mail either???

You're welcome.
Will email addressed to a .mac alias be delivered to the
Mail Application as well as the .mac Mail Account on the web?
Yes they should.
I set up the aliases in the Mail Application at Mail>Preferences>Accounts.
Did you set up the aliases per the instructions included in this link?

Import my addresses into mac mail via .csv file

i would like to import my addresses into mac mail.
i have my yahoo addresses saved on my desktp as a .csv file. can you tell me how to import these
thank you

You cannot import addresses into Mail. You must import them into Address Book for them to be available in Mail. Open Address Book, then Help > Address Book Help, and read the “Importing contacts into Address Book” article to see how this works.

In Gmail I can setup other accounts to "send" email from- can I use these other addresses in Mac Mail

In Gmail if you click the 'cog' button under your username you can choose "Settings" from the drop down menu. From Settings you choose the accounts and import tab and can enter other email addresses. This is useful to me because I have an email address [email protected] and while foobar.com host a server, the is no actual mail server but it can forward emails to aliases on that domain to some other another email address setup by admin.
When I compose a message in Gmail in the browser I can choose [email protected] or [email protected] as my send address. I almost exclusively use my gmail account through Mac Mail on my MBP as an IMAP account.
My question is, can I set up Mac mail in some way to send an email from the gmail server but using the alastair@foobar alias(es) as the send address?

Hi...
Thanks for your repaly .

Copy & Paste an Address in Mac Mail

How do you copy & paste an address in a mail draft?
I've tried everything including cntrl C but nothing. Coming from Windows, Mac mail has a lot to be desired!

No, that's the way I've tried it & no luck. Again, the copy & paste works normally in all other apps BUT mail. It will not let me copy & paste an address from a previous incoming mail & then paste that address in a mail draft to send out.
This is important in my biz - I was hoping Apple could respond & fix this - no one else here has this problem with copying mail address & pasting it in a mail draft?

Can anyone tell me how to move my email addresses from Mac Mail to Thunderbird

Hi all.
I've been having so many problems with Mac Mail that I decided to give Thunderbird v17 a go. It automatically imported my emails and account settings but hasn't imported my email addresses. I know they'll automatically be added as and when I reply to incoming emails but I assumed there would be some way of adding my existing contacts in one go. Searched the net for a solution but came up empty-handed. Any help you can give me will be much appreciated.

PRESS AND HOLD THE IMAGE IN THE EMAIL UNTIL THE OPTION TO 'SAVE IMAGE' APPEARS THEN TAP ON THAT.
See how annoying really large text is? Don't do that next time.

How do I separate my e mail addresses using Mac Mail in Mavericks?

Hi All, moving from my beloved Snow Leopard to Mavericks has not been good.
In Mac Mail I have a mix of POP (my main accounts) and IMAP (G Mail) accounts.
Since installing Mavericks the e mail addresses are now all lumped together (as on an iPad) and I do not want this!
Please advise how I can go back to separate addresses listed as before? Help! I choose to prioritise my e mails and a whole lot at once is so not where I want to be! (And it does not look as stylish as before!)
Thank You!

Answered! Ok, I am trudging my way through Mavericks and it seems I have my separate Mail boxes back.
I have to say that I do not like the look of Mavericks. It was so clean, simple and smart before. It feels kind of messy but maybe I need lots more time to get used to it .But so far, a bit sad I've upgraded to Mavericks. I did it first on my Mac Book before doing so on my iMac and at the mo I am not going to!

Using MSN email address thru Mac mail

Is there a way to use our msn email addresses ([email protected]) thru the Mac Mail? I called our ISP and they said I could only access it through hotmail - but I would prefer to use Mac Mail. The ISP was unable to tell me an account type etc to set it up. Thanks for any help!

Hi Kelly-
If you're paying for the premium MSN/Hotmail mail account, this is possible.
You'll probably need to install a plug in for Mail, to be able to use the HTTP settings that MSN/Hotmail uses (it's really designed for Web-Only access, or Windows OutlookExpress...but the plug in gets it working with your mac).
Not repsonsible for problems, but I did get this working on my Mini.

PS-It may not work if you're only getting Free MSN mail account

Problems adding a new email address to .mac mail account

I'm trying to set up a second email address on my new .mac mail account and I'm stuck. What would be the account description/type/ingoing server/outgoing server for a new account. I've read the directions on mail help to no avail. Also, suddenly my "saved email" option on the left vertical bar is gone. I assume it's because the box got too full (i really liked it . Does anyone know how to access/empty/make it reappear as a mail function ?
Thanks for your time.

Yes, I am a new .mac subscriber. I have a main mac address: [email protected] and then have my old aol address ( [email protected]) mail 'shunted ?' into my new mac address.
My partner now needs an email address for his own online banking account. I'm looking for the easiest way to do this under my mac account.
Saved email folder was an option on the vertical pane under "Inbox" "Sent Mail" "Junk Mail." I used it to store important incoming emails.
Thanks so much for your time,

.Mac mail aliases from iPhone

Have been searching about this, but could not find the answer. Does anyone know how (or if it is possible) to use .Mac aliases when sending mails from iPhone?
Thanks.
SCBZK

Thanks. Did help. Though, after trying number of days with this, it is getting annoying to receive copies of all mails addressed to any of my .Mac account, into every alias I have made on my iPhone...
Maybe, I must wait until Apple does something about this.
BTW, already submitted a request to Apple, fyi.

How Can I delete multiple messages from the same address in Mac Mail

Hope this is in the correct Community. Hope someone can help me to delete multiple email messages from the same email address.
At the moment I can do it by holding down the Command key and highlighting each email, but that can be difficult with many messages
to delete. Is there a quicker way?
Thanks for any help on this.

Thanks for the reply, appreciate your input. I did find another way of doing it and that is to highlight the first e-mail, hold down the shift key and click on the last one. That highlights them all and then they can all be deleted. Your ideas also work of course and I thank you for that. Cheers.

Can't paste address in mac mail

Hi All,
I have just recently moved across to Mac. I am running Lion on a Macbook Pro. I can't paste to the "To" or "Cc" from the magic mouse. I can paste anywhere else and use the command V to paste to the "To". I have searched this issue and noticed it has been mentioned before. I take it it has not been resolved.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2459050?start=15&tstart=0

I'm not on 10.6 at the moment to see what might be the problem, did it wok in this version before, or was it an earlier OSX version?

Macbook Pro Retina - Mac Mail Problem

I've just blown a fortune on a brand new retina display macbook pro. It's time for a fresh start after years of bugs and slow laptops so I've decided I don't want to migrate from my old macbook. I have multiple email addresses, some are pop and some are imap. I spent hours setting up all the addresses in mac mail only to find about 90% of the sent messages from one of the imap email addresses are missing (the most important adderss too!). The only ones in the sent folder are the ones sent using my iphone. Would I be correct in assuming all my sent message are no longer stored on my imap server? I can see them all if I use my old laptop so they must be lurking in a folder on that laptop somewhere. I've tried everything!! I tried deleting the mail folder from the library of my new laptop and the com.apple.mail.plist from the preferences. I then replaced them both with the ones on my old laptop... still the same problem. Any suggestions???

I've been using Mozilla Thunderbird on both Win PCs and Mac's for some time now and have no problems accessing both POP and IMAP accounts with it. I have 4 POP accounts and 2 IMAP accounts.
Switch to it from Windows Live Mail, which IMHO is just the pits, and then when I got my Mac and tried Mac Mail I said There has to be something better and found that Thunderbird also has a OS X version. So that is what I installed.
Been using it on Mac for almost 8 months now. No problems, at least none for me.

Alternatives to mac mail?

ready to throw in the towel. i have business i need to conduct.
is TB on my macs the answer here? GM on the cloud?
i have two computers and an iPhone and use IMAP.
TIA

hi eric.
thanks for the always really thoughtful and really helpful response here. i will read each of these links tomorrow AM.
would you mind helping me strategize here a bit and let me ask you a couple questions now? i am trying to /streamline/ things up better for business now that i am no longer a newbie. and i am having an issue with mail getting stuck in the outbox (i think in sparrow on my iphone), but i am also constantly having outgoing email problems on my computers (probably due to something dumb going on with incoming or outgoing mailservers but i am tired of trying to troubleshoot this) - and basically between two computers and an iphone and my various accounts this has all become unmanageable.
i mean, my /domains/ went down because my autopay stopped when i changed cards and it took me like two weeks to figure out that the fact that i was not getting email was due to the DOMAIN SIDE and not something to do with mac mail. this is no longer possible to maintain.
here's the lowdown:
1. i have a couple GMail accounts (each with App Specific Password enabled which is acatually pain managing in and of itself), a me.com address, one website with one domain based email address and another website with about twelve domain based email addresses. actually it is a bit more complicated than that since i have an /old/ domain URL that has twelve domain based email addresses and i have a new domain URL (that i am migrating to when i setup a new site) and i am forwarding the old email addresses to the new email addresses - basically so i don't have to enter 24 email addresses in 3 different email clients on 3 different devices.
2. i have Mail and Thunderbird loaded on my computers. i have OUTLOOK loaded to my computers but i am not using it yet.
3. i have Mail, Sparrow, Mailbox, Gmail all loaded on my iPhone
4. i /have/ been using Mail Signatures to make various signatures as well as to store and send information i have to provide periodically to colleagues - like access to FTP accounts - but this is probably more easily stored in dropbox since i have to try to remember to EMAIL the signature to myself, get on my other device, add this information to the signature pane of the other device and i am not actually sure if i can even get this to my iphone in this manner so this all breaks down very badly. but even keeping signatures up to date is a big pain.
5. i /did/ like Thunderbird quite a lot but i moved to mail because the migration of mail was sort of very DOS and a big pain and hard for me to manage when i was on PC. i also used to use Outlook Express a long time ago when on a PC and i am starting to think i should move back to both.
other info:
when i change a single email address in mac mail on the iphone or on my computers i have about 12 different settings i have to enter and if i have to do something with 12 addresses this is basically a lot of work - not to mention i might have to do it on 3 devices. also, since i am still having problems after 4 years i am starting to think this is an unhealthy relationship and i should stop imagining there is something i can do to fix it.
do you have any thoughts about what i would /lose/ if i simply forward all my domain based email from the DOMAIN SIDE to one of my google accounts and just access/setup this one google account on the email clients of my various devices? i mean, i read up on this awhile back in a couple of articles in lifehacker but i think they were accessing the mail from the GMail web app and one issue seemed to be whether/how you would/could send mail from an individual account with an individual signature.
anyway, is there a radical way to cut bait?
what about setting up Outlook? a good idea?
maybe forwarding everything to GMail and just adding the GMail address to my email clients and try that for awhile...?
i realize that since i am using IMAP i can access email from anywhere, and i also realize i have a lot of email clients loaded but in some cases i am not seeing mail for one email address on one client which i see on another but also some clients like sparrow load lightning fast whereas mail takes a very long time on my iphone.

I made the fatal mistake of allowing iCloud to handle my @mac mail account. I had set this address up with aliases and never had a problem. Ever since iCloud has been handling it I have had problems. It seams impossible to claim my account back from iClo

I made the fatal mistake of allowing iCloud to handle my @mac mail account.

Ever since iCloud has been handling it I have had problems.
It seams impossible to claim my account back from iCloud. How can it be achieved or has Apple set a booby trap?

iCloud is the successor to MobileMe. MobileMe shuts down forever tomoorrow.
If you only want to use the email portion of your previous MobileMe account you can. You do not have to use all the other features of iCloud, just like you didn't have to use all the other features of MobileMe.
The email account has not really changed at all. Just the server address it comes from.
The sending emails problem you are having, is this on your Mac in Mail, in webmail at iCloud.com or on your iOS device?
When it doesn't succeed in sending, what does it do? Any error message?
What mail server settings are you using in Mail? What version of Mac OS X are you using?
