Selecting individual email addresses for Mail inbox

Hi everyone,
Does anyone know if there is a way on Mail for it to not download all your email's but be able to select certain email addresses that you want to recieve email from?

I reckon they should probably either make an app or put it in one of the updates so that you have this option otherwise people will get loads of emails that they don't actually want, like me. I'm expecting a few emails from select people that are quite important and I don't want my phone downloading a new bit of junk email every 5 seconds. Oh well, guess I just have to live with that for now

How do I add an email address for mail?

I want to have different email addresses for different members of my family. Can I and how do i do it?

There are various e-mail services providers like Yahoo, Gmail, Aol, Outlook etc. You can go to their website and create an e-mail account for each of your family member (I recommend Gmail by Google). Once you have created all the accounts, you can add them to the mail app on the mac very easily. So, go and create e-mail accounts for your family members and then in the Mail app click Mail -> Add Account, select your e-mail service provider and follow the instructions on the screen.

Selecting different email addresses for a contact

On my iPad, I have several contacts that have multiple email addresses. When I try to send an email, it always brings in the first email for that contact and doesn't seem to offer a way to select the alternate addresses. Is this doable?

Don't be upset...this is very easy to do. Go to your Address Book -> hoghlight a contact and click Menu button -> Edit -> click Menu button and select Add Email Address. You Done!!
You can add up to 3 email addresses.

How do I select multiple email address for a single person in my address book when creating a new email?

I am coordinating a large group of people and created a group list of over one hunderd people. The group is families and each person in the address book has several e-mail addresses. How do I select all the email address under each person in the address book so every family member recieves the e-mails?
It appears I can select any ONE email address but selecting multiples from any one person is not allowed, why is that? Any tips would be appreciated, thanks.

Not sure about this problem. But if you don't get an answer soon, go here which is the Mail forum for Leopard (which you listed in your sig).

Capturing visitors email address for mailing list

I would like to know if there is a way I can get a widget or something to create a "sign up for our mailing list" or something to capture email address in order to enter site.
Do I have to use a different web design program, like wordpress?

You either can use a free form service such as [wufoo|http://wufoo.com> or create your own form.

Select Multiple Email addresses for 1 contact

How do I select when I send an email to a contact in my address book to send the email to more than one of their email addresses?

you have to enter those addresses separately in the "To" line of the outgoing message. that's the only way.

Hiding Individual Email Addresses in Mail Sent to Groups??

How can I send an email to a group without the email addresses of all group members being visible to all recipients of the email?

Well... that is the standard. Really it is.
What I generally do:
1. Send it to myself on the To: line, but I edit it so it looks like this:
To: (Distribution list surpressed) Fred Avolio <[email protected]>
2. Put the Group on the BCC: line.
If you use the group name -- for example, let's say it is My-Friends -- it would show up in the To: line (when delivered) as [email protected] It looks like a repliable address. But, it is not. It is a client-side aliase (your email client, your address book), not a server-side aliase.

How do I add multiple email addresses for a contact to a group?

(I'm a recent convert from eMailer to Outlook Express, to Entourage, and finally to Mail.app)
I'm trying to set up a group in Address Book that includes multiple email addresses from a given card. These are folks that want me to include, for example, both their work and home email addresses when I send to this particular group.
I see that Address Book has the ability to use "Edit Distribution List..." to select one email address for a given card/contact, but I can't get it to allow me to use two or three for a given card.
I suppose for now I can just create a duplicate card, and pick one address from each.
Is there a better way?

Sorry, but Address Book does not allow you to select more than one email address to send to in a group. There's really no reason why people need multiple copies of a message, anyway; they have the option of forwarding email to another email address of theirs.

How to make a distribution list that includes all email addresses for each contact?

Is it possible to create a distribution list that allows you to select all possible email addresses for each contact within a group? I am running into the problem that I can only select one email address for each contact, but need multiple. How can this email list be generated using the Contacts app and Mail?

You can't with the way it currently works.
I've never tried, but you might try multiple groups, each with a different email selected.
I think I created an Applescript that would grab every address of every selected person and address an email. It is probably buried in the bowels of these forums.

An obsolete email address for me keeps coming up when I select a "contact us" address in Firefox. How do I get it to default to my new email address?

When I am looking at a website and go to the "contact us" tab, the blank email that comes up always has an obsolete email address for me (which is in Thunderbird). I have been unable to delete it. How can I fix this so the blank email that comes up defaults to my new email address?

HT2486 How do I remove the grey "contact" selection highlight? This contact always appears as the email address for the group I want to send to.

How do I remove the grey "contact" selection highlight? This contact always appears as the email address for the address book group I want to send to.

The group is "undisclosed" there are 6 contacts in the group. The contacts are listed in 2nd column entitled "name", one of these contacts remains highlighted or selected in grey. I can't remove the grey selection of the contact. When you select the "undisclosed" group as the "to" address the contact highlighted in grey appears in the email address box. The group name should appear in the email box, but it doesn't. This began to happen after I upgraded to IOS 10.6.8. However I'm not sure that has anything to do with the problem? I do not have "show all member addresses selected." Your help is appreciated.

Can i send to multiple email addresses for the same contact

I coach a baseball team and I want to create contacts under the kids' names with email addresses for both parents listed. Can I send email to multiple email addresses listed inside the same contact? I hope this makes sense.
Thanks!

You can do it individually, but it can also be done with Groups in Contacts, but you will need to create two or more groups. Once you have created the Groups in Contacts, drag the contacts that have multiple email addresses into each group. Then, select Edit Distribution List… from the Edit menu in Contacts.
For each group, select one address or the other for each contact. Do the same for the other group.
When you address an email, add both Groups to the address field in Mail.

HT5622 When my daughter got her first iphone we set it up with my email address, she now has her own email & new iphone. I want to use my email address for my icloud, can I delete the content from the icloud account and continue to use my email?

When my daughter got her first iphone we set it up with my email address, she now has her own email & new iphone. I want to use my email address for my icloud, can I delete the content from the icloud account and continue to use my email?

Yes, but be sure she is on a separate iCloud account with a separate ID before deleting anything. Be sure there is nothing that you want to keep on your device too. When you delete the data from iCloud it will be deleted from all devices signed into the account. Then you can delete the data from the existing account by doing the following:
To delete the contacts, go to iCloud.com from your computer, log into your iCloud account and open Contacts, click on All Contacts on the left, to the right click on any single contact to select it, click on the Actions (gear shaped) icon at the bottom left and choose Select All, then press the Delete key on your keyboard.
For Calendars, open the calendar on icloud.com, click Edit on the bottom left, then tap the minus sign to the right of each calendar to delete it.
For Notes, open notes on icloud.com, click on each note on the left, then click Delete at the top to delete it.
For Reminders, open reminders on icloud.com, click on each reminder and press your Delete key to delete it.
For Mail, open your mail on icloud.com, click each folder on the left (such as your inbox), click on a single message to the right, press Control-A on your keyboard to select them all, then press your Delete key. Repeat this for each of your mail folders except Trash. When finished, click on the actions (gear-shaped) icon on the bottom left and select Empty Trash.
If you also want to delete your iCloud backups you can go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage on your device, tap the name of your device under Backups, then tap Delete Backup.

2nd email address for website?

After creating a website with iWeb (published through 60 day trial with .Mac), I've been advised that I may not want to use my primary email address on the contact page.
I'm currently using the Mac Mail program that came with our iMac (Earthlink is our ISP).
Would the simplist way be to create a second email address within my Mac Mail account? Is there any reason to create a completely new account?
Thanks

You're welcome.
Since it appears your Earthlink email account is your primary account, you can use your primary .Mac email account for your website but regarding .Mac account aliases, the following was copied from .Mac Help:
You can create up to five email aliases to help prevent unwanted messages from being sent to your primary .Mac Mail account or for use with online groups and chat websites. For example, you might want to share your main .Mac Mail address with friends and family only and use email aliases for online registrations, purchasing products, joining mailing lists, and so on. This will help you better manage the email you receive and monitor the sources of unwanted messages. You can even send email using an email alias.
Seems to me it would be simpler to either add an email "alias"
to my Mail (the application that came preloaded on our iMac)
primary account, or create a new account.
As already provided, since your Earthlink email account is your primary account, you can use your .Mac email address for your website or go ahead and create/use an alias for the same but you cannot create another or separate .Mac account. Your existing account is it and you can create up to 5 email aliases at no extra charge. If you want another separate email account, you can purchase an email only account through your primary .Mac account at an extra charge which I believe is only $10/year.
If I understood your reply, I should be able to do either
one of these through the iMac Mail application?
Yes. This following was also copied from .Mac Help:
To set up a .Mac email alias, choose Mail > Preferences and click Accounts. Select your .Mac account and click Account Information. Click Edit Email Aliases to go to the .Mac website. Log into your account. Click Accounts, then click the Add button in the Email Aliases section. Enter a name for the alias and click Create Alias. The alias will then be available in the Account pop-up menu in new message windows.
If the Account pop-up menu doesn't appear in the compose message window, click the Action menu in the lower-left corner of the message header and choose Customize. Select the checkbox next to Account and click OK.
Messages addressed to your .Mac email alias will arrive in your .Mac account inbox.
Do you think creating another account would make me
less vulnerable to spam, than simply adding an "alias" to
my primary account?
It depends on how your email address is used on your website. If you include an Email Me link, you shouldn't be vulnerable to spam but if provided out in the open for anyone to see and for spambots that search the internet for valid email addresses provided out in the open on a website, etc., you will be very vulnerable to spam. But as already provided, if your .Mac email address associated with your .Mac account is not your primary email address and likely won't be, it doesn't matter but this is what email aliases are primarily designed for so I would protect my .Mac email account address in case you decide to make this your primary email address and use an alias instead on your website.
After several moves in a relatively short period of time having to change ISPs and my email address along with it since I formally used my ISP provided email account as my primary address, I now use my .Mac account as my primary email address since when moving and changing ISPs doesn't matter - I can always keep the same email address regardless.

Can I create an email address for a family member using my apple ID?

I converted to iCloud from Mobile Me in October before I created email addresses for my kids. Can I create accounts for them in iCloud?

Just go to http://appleid.apple.com and create a new Apple ID for each kid - note that you will need a different associated email address for each ID, and different from your own, but you can use free addresses such as Yahoo.
Then start a new iCloud account for each using the IDs. You will need to have a separate user account on your Mac for each kid (you should be doing this anyway, and they should be non-admin accounts) and then you can enter the ID in System Preferences>iCloud and create a new @me.com address in each case.
Alternatively you could create up to three email aliases on your own account - these are addresses, not accounts, and deliver into your main inbox alonside your mail, so everyone will be able to see everyone else's mail, which may well not be what you want.
