Prefered e-mail address

I just changed my old e-mail to a prefered e-mail address, (on EE's request !) Why can't I send e-mails from this new address?? I get the message, "Problem with your provider".

Do you mean the "preferred e-mail address" in your online a/c? That's for an email addy that you own to which you want EE to send you msgs. It's not for getting a new addy. If you don't own it you can't send from it.
Anyway "preferred e-mail address" doesn't work. EE already know your Orange email addy.

When is preferred e-mail address written back to the directory?

GW 2014
In the Admin Console, or via the REST API, it is possible to set a
preferred e-mail ID and preferred e-mail internet domain for a given
object. Why would this be necessary? Because GW is really neat and lets
you easily handle users from multiple internet domains (novell.com,
suse.com, netiq.com, etc.) at the same time, in the same system. Further,
it lets users of all systems get e-mails from all domains if wanted, which
really worked well when Novell was acquiring companies, and then when they
were acquired; if a user changed from novell.com to suse.com, their old
e-mail (targeted for the old address) still reached them. Smart smart smart.
If I set somebody to have a preferred address, specifically via REST
(because that is how the IDM driver for GW 2014 does it), their directory
address (in eDirectory) is not updated, though obviously a preferred
domain should be the one advertised in a directory (or so seems obvious to
me). If I use the REST API to tell GW to "commit" this change, then it
goes ahead and updates the directory; thanks Morris for fixing this in the
thread before this one: https://forums.novell.com/showthread.php?t=482628
My question (finally): Does GW automatically do a commit after some period
of time? Can it? I'm asking because I do not want to need to do this
manually, though I could with the IDM driver when pushing a value over to
GW; it would be nicer if GW would do the work for me and push back its
correct value (it is authoritative or e-mail addresses after all) back to
eDirectory as if I had asked it to commit. Perhaps I am just not patient
enough and eventually it will do so, but if so how is that configured?
Thanks.

Short answer is no. There is no scheduled address publishing to the directory, It's only done when there is a trigger activated by changing something in either the Internet Addressing options, or if you go to the directory definition in the admin console.
You could create a cron job and do a publish for the system. you could put this curl command in a script for the cron job to run:
curl -k --user gwadmin:pwd -X POST -H "Content-type:application/json" --data "{\"commit\":true}" https://10.10.10.10:9710/gwadmin-ser...ectory/publish

How to set up a new apple e-mail address when already have an existing Apple ID

Hello
Thank you for taking a look at my query - I have searched many posts but not found a specific answer to my question - so please help!
My dilemma:
I am in effect running everything smoothly - I am already on iCloud and have an @me.com mail address.
The problem arises in that I need to change my name (due to a divorce) and hence my e-mail address - I would like to use my maiden name for obvious reasons!
So what have I tried?:
I have set up a new Apple ID using a 'hotmail' address, as you need an existing address to set an ID, but would actually like a new 'apple' address. How do I do this? Since I have registered all my devices (iMac, iPad 3 and iPhone 3GS) with iCloud already using my married name ID it seems I am unable to get another appleID? Is this true? Is there a way around this?
Concerns:
I have many communications with lawyers and ex and various other things I would like to keep on my existing apple ID/mail account (and also itunes etc) I still need to be able to access this information. I am happy to keep this apple ID active at the same time as having the new ID if this is possible on all the same devices? Currently however I do not know how to do this, i.e. run two mail accounts through iCloud OR ideally transfer my info to the new ID - however from reading around I believe this latter (logical) option may be impossible?
So:
... I need a knight (or maiden) in shining armour to help me understand my options, answer the Q's above and provide the steps I have to follow to do this as I am no IT guru! And as there are many similar Qs without a clear answer I'm sure you will gain lots of points!
Thanking you kindly in advance!
PS. Apple if you are reading this please can you do something about this situation as there seem to be many questions around this issue. Unfortunately divorce and name changes are a frequent part of life these days and it would be good if you can accommodate this!

OK, so I realised I was still within my 90days of being able to get support from Apple due to recent iPad3 purchase.
So between what I have gleaned from this forum and what I have learnt from the support call here I hope is a comprehensive one stop shop answer to the question... "How do I get another Apple e-mail address ?" It's not straight forward but bear with me as you will get a result (also if anyone with IT prowess can offer further advice or clarification please do reply to this so we keep all info in the same place)... right - we shall begin:
First a few points to bear in mind/wise words that I wish I was aware of before:
You preferably do not want more than one Apple ID so that syncing etc is straight forward. SO create an e-mail address that you will be happy to have no matter what, whether you are married/divorced (and yes it unfortunately could happen...) etc...
So...
1. First go to www.myinfo.apple.com, change your country as required and click on manage your account. Log-in. Should go straight to your Name, ID and e-mail tab.
2. OK you are now presented with one of two scenarios....
a) If your AppleID and primary e-mail address is a me.com (or mac.com) then you are unlikely to have an edit option next to this line - follow point 3. Another ID has to be generated, and unfortunately (as Winston Churchill above rightly pointed out, the problem that you will have on the whole is that any purchases you make from the iTunes Store under your previous account, will be inaccessible on many of your devices. - IF however all you wanted is a new e-mail address and you are happy to keep running your old ID at the same time - there is a way around this .... read on to point 3)
b) If your AppleID and primary e-mail address is not a me.com (or mac.com) then - follow point 4. This is the better option to have, hop skip and jump with glee as you will in effect have the same ID account and syncing will not be an issue. But note that your new ID will not be editable going forward so head my words of wisdom above.
NB. If you already have more than one ID and one of the 'Apple ID and primary e-mail' is editable i.e. 2b) then choose this option to change as it is simpiler to manage.
3. OK lots of steps here and explanations:
i) You need to create another Apple ID - there are two ways of doing this a) if you go to your iphone or ipad settings > iCloud > delete your account (Don't worry you are effectively only signing out and not deleting) (you'll be given an option what to do with your contacts) > The page will then give you an option to create a new Apple ID.... follow the steps, and you will get a new me.com AppleID and primary e-mail address.
b) If you do not have an iphone or ipad - use your computer: Go to sytem preferences > icloud > sign out of account (again you will be given an option to keep contacts on the computer etc. do what is appropriate for you). An iCloud window should then pop up - and there is an option to 'Create an Apple ID'... follow the steps, in 2nd step (after date of birth input) go for the free iCloud option and do not use an existing e-mail address (e.g. hotmail or gmail)... as it then gets more complicated (I did go down this route as I didn't know any better - so I can explain if you wish to know - just ask) - continue with the steps and you will get a new me.com AppleID and primary e-mail address.
ii) Now assuming you have an itunes account and other devices... and you will want to sync everything across devices... then ensure you log back into your OLD account and use this as your main account on all devices. This will keep all things synced between devices with no problems.
iii) To get your new e-mail account active go to all your devices and computer and just add the new me.com address as another account:
a) on iphone and ipad: settings > mail, contacts, calendars > "add account"
b) on computer assuming you use mail: Mail>preferences>account information> hit the '+' under the left hand account box and fill in the details... You will then effectively have two mail boxes running in mail - your previous and new one. What I have noticed is that you can drag and drop (which will copy) mailboxes you created in your old account into your new account - which is great as you can keep the stored messages to hand and effectively you can taper down use of the old account (or use as you wish) over time and eventually not notice the old account is in the background.
Hey presto you have a new e-mail address AND your devices are syncing itunes, photostream etc...
4) So - much better option....
i) create a new Apple ID as per point 3i) above.
ii) go back to www.myinfo.apple.com, change your country as required and click on manage your account. Log-in with old ID. Under Apple ID and primary e-mail adress - click edit and now insert your new me.com Apple ID. This will now be both your ID and primary e-mail address. This is where my knowledge (gleaned from this Forum) stops on this option - as unfortunately it did not apply to me. But I think it will get you where you want!
Hope all this info helps rather than hinders!! It definitely would have helped me
Enjoy.

HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus Printer says "acquiring e-mail address..." and won't move on.

I have just installed this new printer, and when the printer control panel began setting up for e-print, it got hung up at "acquiring e-mail address." I have already set everything up through the installation CD.

Bpa,
Try the steps below.
1. Open an internet browser type printer's IP address.
2. Should bring you to the printer's status page.
3. Select network tab at the top.
4. Left hand side select IPv4 under wireless.
5. Under DNS address Configuration select Manual DNS Server.
6. For Preferred enter 8.8.8.8
7. For Alternate enter 8.8.4.4
8. Select apply. You might get a warning saying this could interrupt connection that's fine.
9. Turn printer off for about 30 seconds then try again.
Let me know how it goes.

Can't get printer to create e-mail address

I have a new 6500a printer at home. It is hooked up to ethernet and the internet. I can print to it from the PC's on my network and it is on the internet because I can access my google documents through the apps screen. It fails to create an e-mail printer e-mail address. It says the prnter was unable to connect to the server. How specifically do I get the e-mail address to setup so that I can print from my ipad using eprint?

You may need to set a static IP for your printer. Shane_R posted a link on this post to a document that will walk you through it. Click on the link below
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02817031&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&product=4023246&tmp...
Also as he states in his post make sure when it askes for DNS information, enter in Google's DNS. Preferred DNS = 8.8.8.8 Alt DNS = 8.8.4.4
If I helped you at all it would be great if you clicked the blue kudos star!
If I solved your post please mark it as solved to help others.

How to Set a Form Mail Address

I have a form all set up on a web page in DW and what it's
supposed to do, but I don't know where the field is to put my
e-mail address for the form to send the info to. I tried putting it
in "action", but that's not it as a test to see if I'd get anything
failed. So, where
do I put my e-mail?

There are only two ways to process form data -
1. Use mailto:[email protected] as the action of the form
2. Use a server-side scripting method to a) harvest the
form's data, b)
process it in some manner, e.g., enter it into a database, c)
formulate and
send an email to one or more email recipients, and d)
redirect the visitor
to some ending page
Method 1 is quite simple, and is also the least reliable. It
depends both
on your visitor having an email client already installed on
their computer -
this eliminates public computers, or home users without email
clients
installed (more and more it seems) - and on the installed
email client
responding to
the mailto call. It is not possible to use this method *and*
send the
visitor to a
thank you page as well.
Method 2a is the preferred method, since it eliminates the
problems of
method
1, but it means that you have to grapple with
server-scripting somehow (ASP,
CF, PHP, perl, etc.).
Method 2b would be to use some third-party form processing,
like
http://www.bebosoft.com/products/formstogo/.
You would have to decide which of these methods is best for
your needs,
but if it's Method 2a, then start by asking your host what
they provide for
form
processing. If it's 2b, then read their FAQ/instructions
carefully.

HT204053 Trouble syncing new AppleID/e-mail address to my iPhone

I changed my AppleID e-mail, now on my iPhone when I got to sync it asks for my password but shows the old e-mail address and I can't figure out to to update it to the new e-mail address/AppleID. Help!

I have exactly the same problem. Presumably a solution would be to delete the original app which I was trying to update & reload using my preferred id. does this sound reasonable?

HT201342 why would I need another e-mail address?

hi, Why would I need another e-mail address. When .me came out I thought that .mac would be erased so I gave everyone my .me account (even though I prefered the .mac name) the .mac continued to work and now everyone sends me TWO e-mails which arrive at exactly the same place. I can understand if the e-mails arrive at different mail boxes, then you could give your family one, your business another, your kids school a third, but why... why 3 accounts that go to exactly the same place. I realise I don't have to use all 3 but can someone tell me how to get the most out of these e-mail addresses. Thanks!

Just give out the one email address you want to use. They are all the same account anyway. People do not need to send emails to both email addresses so tell them to only use the one you prefer.

IPhone 3Gs e-mail address problem ... They won't delete

Hi all,
I have an iPhone 3Gs.
One of my contacts has changed his e-mail address.
i have altered it in Address Book and changed it. The old e-mail address still shows up when I am trying to send him an e-mail (The new one also does0
I have deleted the entire contact from address book on my macbook and synced. I have re-entered it in address book and resynced.
The old e-mail address is still showing up.
The new one also does.
A clue ... the new one says WORK: before the new e-mail address ... the old one does not have a classification.
How can i get rid of the older e-mail address.
I seem to recall reading on this forum a while ago that stuff got stuck in cache or something.

Yes, there is email address cache/dictionary. Unfortunately, the only way to clear that out is to perform a Restore in iTunes, and set the phone up as new (not from backup, since the cache is part of the backup). That means you'd need to reload all your content, re-enter all your preferred settings, etc.

XFCE4 & Preferred Applications; Mail reader 'claws mail' wont open

Configuring my XFCE4 setup I wanted to set Claws Mail as my standard mail client, such that when I open links in my browser pointing to mail addresses (mailto:[email protected]) that specified mail clilent automatically opens and lets me type my mail right away.
Now... that doesn't work. First Sylpheed Claws was set as my Mail Reader (apparently installing claws mails leads to two entries in the /usr/bin, one for Claws Mail and one for Sylpheed Claws). I switched to Claws Mail, and... it doesnt work.
So, what is there to do about this issue? Any workarounds?
I am using Epiphany as my browser, if that's relevant.
Ah, I also wanted to track this problem down by opening Epiphany in the terminal and see what happens (error messages that is). But it won't open in the shell. I start it, it runs, but there is nothing printed in the prompt (if I close the terminal again, epiphany stays open). Can I force it to run inside the shell?

Although the post is quite old -- I have the same problems using awesome window manager, epiphany browser and claws-mail.
If someone still uses Epiphany with webkit see
http://www.mail-archive.com/epiphany-li … 03090.html
For epiphany 2.30 I tried
$ mkdir -p ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/mailto
$ gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/mailto/command -t string 'claws-mail --compose %s'
$ gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/mailto/enabled -t bool true
But it won't work ;-( Has anyone ideas?

How can I display selected tags across multiple e-mail addresses?

I receive email on a specific topic but via several e-mail addresses. How can I view selected tags where the resulting e-mails span several (7) email addresses. They are all active on my Thunderbird, but as far as I know, I can only display the selected tag on one of them at a time.
Any assistance greatly appreciated as this is a very big problem for me.
thanks, Ron75

This solution does not appear to work across multiple e-mail addresses.
Perhaps I should have said "work across multiple e-mail address at the same time. I get e-mail on specific topics via several email addresses and wish to view all the tagged emails regardless of which email account in which they reside.
I could not get this solution to select more than one email account at a time.

How do I 'disasscociate' an e-mail address from an existing Apple ID so that that e-mail can be used to create a new separate Apple ID

My wife and I currently share an Apple ID (it's a long story). The Apple ID we use is actually mine and uses my e-mail address as the ID itself. I have been trying to create a new Apple ID for my wife but everytime I get an error message that states: 'that e-mail is already associated with another Apple ID.' What exactly do I have to do to remove her e-mail from being associated with my Apple ID so that I can create a new Apple ID for her?

Make sure her email address is not set as an alternate for your AppleID.
Then again, you don't know if it is associated with your AppleID.
Also, any chance she created an AppleID at one time and simply never used it/forgot about it?
Go here -> https://appleid.apple.com/ and select Forgot your password?
and enter her email address that shows it is in use.

How can I remove an e-mail address from iphoto 9.5.1

I have one bad e-mail address in Iphoto and it wont let me correct it or enter an alternat e-mail address for that person.
I have erased the offending address from gmail and any other place I could find it but could do it in iphoto.

Where in iPhoto are you seeing an offending email address for a person? Has it been assigned to a face?
Then you need to edit the address in Faces view. Select the Faces stack on the cork board in Faces view, open the Info panel, and click into the textfield for the email and edit it. Does that work?
