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,

    Am in the process of getting new email addresses for a new company and want to receive these emails through mac mail not my yahoo account.  How do I register them to "mail" on my mac book?

    Mail > Preferences > Accounts - click on the [+] button at the bottom of the Accounts column then follow directions.  Click on the (?) icon if you have questions.

    How do I update my ipod touch with my new email address for my itunes account?  I recently changed my email address and updated it on my itunes account but now my ipod keeps asking me for the password associated with my old email address.

  • Adding a new email address to Mail

    I recently decided to create a new email address to replace my old one.  I contacted my provider and had them direct all new mail on the original email address to the new one.  I changed my pop server setting on my MacBook Pro in Mail.  But now I have two inboxes - one for each email address.  Some emails are in the original email account, some in the new one.  When I reply to an email it gives me the option to send it from either email address.
    I just want one inbox and everything to point to the new email address.  I just want to keep it very simple but don't want to lose any of my old emails either.  Can anyone help me?

  • Adding a new email address to iCal alarms

    This is probably very simple: but how do I add a completely new email address to the alarms? Each time I try to add a new alarm, it gives me the options that are already created - and I need to add a whole new email address. Help, please!

    dixiebelle,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Select (click) the "alarm" field in the event Info window, then choose "Email" from the drop down menu. Click and hold that selection, and you will then be presented with all of the email accounts which are listed in your Mail application, and your "My Card" in your Address Book application.

    This is the issue. They are telling you to get a specific email address.
    If this address is already taken, then what?

  • Contacing my address book that I have a new email address, my mac address

    Can someone help? I just discontinued my comcast service and will use my mac.com as my main email address. Is there a way I can contact my address book globally?
    Thanks,
    Ron

    Start a new message. Select all the contacts and drag them to the BCC field of the new message. Put your email address in the To field. Add a subject and some text and click Send.
    If you have more than 200 contacts it would be better to send them in groups of less than 200, and not do more than one group a day.

  • Adding new email address in BT Mail

    I am now with BT Mail having been originally with Bt Yahoo
    I have 2 email addresses at btinternet.com and I am trying to add another.
    I am logged in as the account holder and have gone to the "BT Mail"  "Manage your email addresses" page where it displays my two existing addresses.
    The next section says I can link any existing BT email address  etc..........    I don't want to link to an existing one, I want to add a new one.    Secondly, it does not show the panel at the top right, saying you have used 2 of your 11 available addresses as shown on one of the help pages.
    Am I in the wrong place to add another address?
    Any advice would be much appreciated.
    Geoff
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Are you the BT primary email account holder? If you are a sub-account holder you will not be able to set up more email addresses.

  • 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.

  • New email settings for Mac Mail & 3rd party...

    Anyone have instructions for new email port settings for users who are:
    -Using Mac Mail
    -Using third mail email service provider (i.e., not sending and receiving through a Verizon address)
    Thanks,
    Pardon me while I rant (I'm hoping a Verizon employee reads this)...
    I use my third party email account exclusively. It's listed on my verizon account page. So, does verizon do the logical thing and send announcements to my third party email address (?) - of course not, they send them to the verizon address which I have never once used in years.
    New port settings for some email users...
    I got a phone call from an automated Verizon attendant telling me to check the following for new port settings for some email users:
    http://www22.verizon.com/ResidentialHelp/HighSpeed/Email/Setup+And+Use/QuestionsOne/124333.htm
    I guess Verizon hasn't heard that there are millions of people using Mac computers, with Mac Mail as their email clients. And, some of these users are using obscure third party email service providers with names like 'Google'. On the above linked page, there are no instructions for these users.
    I tried to use the online live support feature to get a clarification about using the new port settings. A polite gentleman with a long Indian name told me he couldn't help me and gave me an 800 number to call. After calling the 800 number, a nice lady in the Philippines (on a terrible voice connection) told me she couldn't help me - she transferred me to another department where I waited and waited and waited. I finally had to hang up.
    I'm beginning to think that Verizon is a division of the United States Postal Service. Come to think of it, I get much better service from the USPS than I get from Verizon.

    Are you using the Mac Mail client or Verizon's netmail?

  • 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.

  • Can't add email to my mac mail account.

    I recently started having problems with my mail account.  I deleted the mail folder and started over and now can no longer add any email accounts besides my icloud account.  When I try I get the following message.
    Logging in to the optonline.net POP server “mail.optonline.net” failed. Make sure the user name and password you entered are correct, then click Continue. If the information isn’t correct, you cannot receive messages.
    My mail accounts still work on my ipad and iphone with the exact same information.  Something else I find strange, when I go to add a new account my old deleted account already appears in the email address section.  Why would a deleted account, presumably one it should n't know anymore come up as a suggestion without me adding it?  Does mail keep a copy of the account hidden somewhere else besides the plist and in the hidden library? 
    I am at wits end.  I can think of any reason that I shouldn't be able to add the email when all the information is correct.  I have also checked my computer for viruses and malware with several programs, the latest one being SOPHOS.  Any suggestions?

    Don't know what any of this means:

  • How do I set up an alias email with Mac Mail, so that my alias shows up when I send email from my Mac Mail account?

    I am have an email forwarding service, not an email account, which I want to set up as an alias for Mac Mail so that my email appears in the "from" address when I send messages from Mac Mail. I'm having trouble figuring out what I need to do to set up this configuration. Thanks so much for your help!

    There are a couple of ways of doing this. The easiest is probably to just add the secondary address in the Mail.app -> Preferences -> Accounts field.
    The specifics of which vary a little based on the OS/Mail.app version you're running, but in Yosemite:
    Mail -> Preferences -> Accounts
    Select your iCloud account and change the 'Alias' popup menu from your iCloud address to 'custom'.
    Doing this enables the 'Email Address' field. In this field you can enter the email address you want to appear in your From header.
    If you want to use multiple addresses (e.g. your iCloud address and your other alias), you can enter a comma-separated list of addresses - e.g. '[email protected], [email protected]' and then you'll have a pop-up menu on each new message where you can choose the address to use for each outgoing message. You can also set the default address in Preferences -> Composing -> Send new messages from:

  • I added a new email address, but Thunderbird won't download new emails into it

    My wife and I have two email accounts with the same email provider. Emails from the email server are downloaded just fine into Thunderbird. We recently added a third account, but Thunderbird does not find or download emails into this account. All the settings are identical for all three accounts. What's up?

    You have provided no details or mention of error messages. No one is going to begin to guess what your issue might be.
    A good start would be to post your Thunderbird troubleshooting info so people might have a place to start.
    From the Help menu select Troubleshooting Information.

  • How to add a new name in the from box - NOT a new email address

    Hi
    I wish to add email addresses to the from box when I write emails.
    I have my own domain name registered with a third party which I add forwards to which arrive in my thunderbird in tray and it is easy to add a new one to forward to my email server into thunderbird.
    But cannot find out how to add the address the from box without adding a new email address?
    I did manage it a few years ago with an old version of thunderbird but I have just move over from XP pro
    to 7 Pro and had to install the new Thunderbird so must either be forgeting the simple or going daft in my old age!!
    Help!
    Cheers Mark

    You need to add them.
    One possible route is to add a new address as an alternative identity for an existing address.
