Send from .mac email

I would like to send from my .mac email address which I have had since the 90's or whenever they issued them. I have run into a roadblock because I need to send an email from .mac to access an account that was set up with that account. Plus, I never likes .me! I thought I did the migration correctly, but .mac is nowhere to be found. It is still my username for itunes, icloud, etc!

hi Skip,
I don't think that Apple will fix it "soon" but in the meantime and with all the experience you have gained in reading the Discussions forums, it will be a breeze for you to manually fix those on the fly !
I installed from scratch and didn't have a single issue, probably the easiest upgrade of Mac OS for me. I updated my wife's iMac and I didn't encountered the problem you faced. Difficult to predict what the situation will be on your wife laptop but if there is an issue with the smtp server: you know what to do !
Do not hesitate to come back and ask any question(s) you may have if you decide to upgrade your wife laptop.
Bye for now,
/Phil

Why is the printed font so small on a print job I send from my email to my new HP Photosmart C510

Why is the printed font so small on a print job I send from my email to my new HP Photosmart C510? I sent it via HP ePrint from a lotus notes based email account. It was just a text message but it was so small on the print out I could not begin to read it.
Thanks
Matt

At the document you plan to print, go to "file" in upper right corner. Select "print preview". Atop that window, select font size. Recommended minimum 60%. May need to adjust with different documents.
Good luck!

How do I change my iMessage from sending from my email instead of my number? I went into settings and where I'm suppose to change where I send and recieve from it doesn't say anything about changing to a number but changing to another email account.

WHen you go into iMessage settings at the top it will say your email account you are using for iMessage, press that and it will give options. Press sign out and it will use your current phone number if you're using an iPhone, if you're using an iPod then it will turn iMessage off. P.S. it doesn't sign you out of your itunes account for iTunes and all that, just for iMessage

How to send from alternate email address?

Along with my regular email address, I have a business email address that is forwarded to my regular account.
In Eudora, I used to be able to set up a new "Personality" that would allow me to send email using the business address, and have that show up in the "reply-to" field as well.
How can I do this in Mail ?

go to mail>preferences>accounts, select your email account, then in the email address field just below the description field, enter all the email addresses you would like to use as an alias, separated by a comma, then save. You will then be able to send from this email account with all the email addresses you keyed in.
Alternatively, you could set up a home email account and a business email account in Leopard Mail, and then have the ability to send/receive/view from one account to another
hope this helps

Please help!

Hello gomoll,
After reviewing your post, it sounds like you want to start a new conversation from a phone number and not an email address. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
The greyed out phone number is under how you can be reached.
When you start a conversation is another option you can change.
iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage - Apple Support
The telephone number will be dimmed when you view these settings on an iPhone.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a nice day,
Mario

Cannot send emails from mac email address

Over the past 24hrs I am unable to send emails from my ibook and sporadically from my iphone. Please advice what the settings should be for SMTP and port. I think this might be the problem but I am unsure. I have a mac email address. I can send emails from my icloud account. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Wow, after research I can't believe what a problem BT is!???
This post by vanessa seems to have gelped many that could not send...
Just set up my macmail with the help of the BT guys after a year of struggling! Hopefully this could work for others for whom the emails will receive but NOT send....
Set up your 3rd party domain names via the mail relay system and confirmed via BT. Then try these settings.....
In your @btconnect.com email set its up using these:
incoming mail server: pop3.btconnect.com
username: the bt email
password: the bt email password you supplied
outgoing mail: we'll come to this!
on the drop down box next to Outgong mail server (SMTP) select 'edit SMTP server list'
press '+' button and add these details....
In the Account information tab:
Description: mail.btconnect.com
Server Name: mail.btconnect.com
In the advanced tab:
Select 'Use default ports'
Authentication: Password
username: the bt email
password: the bt email password you supplied
NOW The next bit, the 'second' server....
press '+' fro a new server add these details....
In the Account information tab:
Description: second server (or any name you want)
Server Name: mail.btconnect.com
In the advanced tab:
Select 'Use default ports'
Authentication: NONE!
Now on all your email addresses back in the accounts section, set the SMTP server to 'second server' (or whater you hae called it) NOT mail.btconnect.com and select Use only this server.

Why will IMAP email not send from Mac OS 10.10.1 Yosemite Mail even though it is configured the same as on my old Macbook (and emails are sending just fine on the old computer)?

I can receive but cannot send IMAP email on my 1&1 mail account from Mac OS 10.10.1 Yosemite Mail on my new Macbook Pro. The account is set up the same port, password, username, server name as on my old Macbook and emails are sending just fine on the old computer.
When I hit send on the new Macbook Pro running Yosemite I get this message:
"The connection to host ... on port 993 failed.
Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below or click Try Later to leave the message in your Outbox until it can be sent."
It shows the server as (offline)
I've tried erasing and typing in the password. I've tried both checking and unchecking Automatically detect and maintain account settings. Still cannot send.
I also have a Gmail account and it is working...

email service uses an Incoming Server and an Outgoing Server. Mac Mail makes access to the Incoming Server(s) obvious, and hides the settings for the outgoing Server(s). A quick and easy way to get access to the Outgoing Servewr settings is to use:
Window > Connection Doctor ...
... then click on the red light for the Server that is not working for you to see its settings.
This web page will make an educated guess about how to set up your Servers, and NO SPAM will follow:

Can't send receive email from Yahoo account or send from .mac account

On 5/1, when launching Mail, it asked me to update to new settings or use old settings. I should have kept the old settings. Instead, I had to set up all of my email accounts again. Everything is working except receiving mail from my Yahoo account. Also, I can receive mail from my .mac account, but can't send from it. These accounts are working fine on my iPhone. Is there a way to restore old email settings? Anyone else having this problem?

Hi Jeffrey,
Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
Is there a way to restore old email settings?
Only with a backup or Manually redoing it/them, which may or may not lose the mail you have.

How do i always send from one email address, even when replying?

Hello all
I just moved to MAIL after 12 years of Eudora.
I’m MAIL 2.1.3 in Mac OS 10.4.11 PPC.
my problem
People send emails to me at 2 different email addresses. Both of them are stored on two different servers, and thus two different POP setups. Let us call them Eunice.net and Poppy.net
I have MAIL setup to pull my emails off both different servers. I think it would be best to always send emails from one particular email address, ([email protected]) using the one particular email POP server. (Eunice.net)
My problem is that when I get an email sent to me at Poppy.net, want to hit reply and have it go out by way of the Eunice.net SMPT (POP) server (and with the return address as [email protected]
The problem is that I can’t find a way to configure my Preferences/Accounts to make this happen. As of now, I hit reply to an email sent to [email protected]… and it tries to send the email out via Poppy.net (and fails) - i get an error messsage.
Thanks for any help!

Mail, Preferences, Composing, Send New Mail from is indeed set properly - so this is why i'm baffled.
Note that this setting is "Send New Mail from", in other words, when you create a New message, not Reply to an existing message. When you create a new message, does it do send from the specified account? Note that this will only work if no message is selected, else it will create the new message using the account of the selected email (assuming Mail can figure out the account from the header).
The following is copied from the Mail help (note how it handles New messages and Replies differently):
*+How is the "From" address determined in a new message or a reply?+*
+Mail will try to determine the correct "From" address to use when you compose a new message or reply to a message.+
*+When you compose a new message, the From address is selected in the following order:+*
+If a message is currently selected, Mail uses the account the message belongs to, if it can be determined from the headers of the message, or by the IMAP mailbox the message resides in.+
+If an IMAP mailbox is currently selected, Mail uses the account the IMAP mailbox belongs to.+
+If no message or mailbox is selected, Mail uses the email address for the first account listed in the Accounts pane of Mail Preferences.+
*+When you reply to a message, the From address is selected in the following order:+*
+The To and Cc fields are compared to email addresses you have set up in Mail Preferences. Mail uses the first matching address it finds as the reply address.+
+If the message is in an IMAP mailbox, Mail uses the email address for the account the mailbox belongs to.+
+If all else fails, Mail uses the email address for the first account listed in the Accounts pane of Mail Preferences.+
One way to ensure that the messages are sent using the Eunice.net SMPT (POP) server is to set that server as the SMTP server in your Poppy mail account (putting your Eunice settings in the SMTP server settings dialog). That won't address the ReplyTo issue (although you can set that manually in the ReplyTo field, accessed via the button next to the subject line).
Hope this helps...
