Sending from a Mobile Me ALIAS using Mail v2.1.3

My desktop Mac uses OS 10.4.11, and Mail v2.1.3. I don't seem to be able to enter ALIAS addresses in the account preferences area "Email Addresses" as I am able to do on my MacBook Pro (OS 10.6.2) and Mail v4.2. On the MacBook Pro, I can successfully enter the established alias addresses, separated by a comma, and can use each as the FROM address in an email. In Mail v2.1.3, I am not able to save the Alias addresses in the preferences. Can I use a Mobile Me Alias to send mail using Mail v2.1.3 and OS 10.4.11?

I have discovered the difference in the two Mail account setups. On the Laptop, my account is set up as an IMAP account. With this setup, I can establish alias addresses.
On the desktop Mac, Mail is set up as a ".MAC" account, which apparently does not facilitate the use of alias addresses. After establishing an IMAP account on the desktop Mac, I am able to use alias addresses

Why can I no longer send email from my Hotmail SMTP account using Mail?

I can no longer send email from my Hotmail SMTP account using Mail. The connection doctor says it can't connect to the SMTP server. All the settings look to be correct and it was working fine before. I can still email using my iPhone with the same account.

Other may post it is some type of change with your ISP but the simple fact is this happen with Apple Mac Mail all the time.
IMHO Mac Mail is one of, if not the, worst mail program ever written.
Do yourself a big favor and start using some other mail program, any other Mail program.

If i buy Unlocked Iphone 5s from Virgin Mobile can i use it with other operator?(In Europe)

If i buy Unlocked Iphone 5s from Virgin Mobile can i use it with other operator?(In Europe)

You need to clarify where you are as Virgin Mobile are a Global Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) brand however the terms and offers differ in each country.
If you are in the USA the brand is actually franchised and operated by Sprint .
Operating on Sprint CDMA and LTE frequency bands.
The CDMA radio will be provioned to work off of the Sprint towers - This IS locked down and can't be used on any other network -for instance Verizon.
The phones GSM Sim card holder and radios should be unlocked but we won't know for sure until the handsets are available to test.
The models in question are the A1453 - 5S ad A1456- 5C- these support the most channel frequencies of any iPhone , however NOT the all important European LTE band 7 (2600mhz)
So it is highly likely that the Virgin USA model will have unlocked SIM and GSM support will work on all European 3G and most earlier 2 and 2.5G networks however may have patchy to no European LTE support.
Note that comment reqarding 2G (GPRS) and 2.5 G (Often called Edge) - A number of European countries and mobile operators are re-provisionng (reusing) frequencies in the 800mhz spectrum to 800DD (digital) for future LTE and where this takes place normal subscibers without LTE contracts will loose service in some areas.
This is already taking place in the UK - Beware.
Virgin Mobile UK are not currently an Apple iPhone dealership.
And other countries with the band including Canada, France and India I have information about.

On my 90 day old MacBook Pro I can't send or receive (Mobile Me) email via "Mail." The fetch icon keeps spinning. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm only one day past the free Apple care. Thanks!

Can not send email from Mac, iPhone, or iPad using mail using iCloud.

I can send email from the icloud web page but I get error messages that the icloud outgoing server is not recongized when I send email from my iphone, ipad and Mac mail. I can receive icloud email okay on all devices. I have manully setup a icloud server per instructions on icloud support page for mail's outgoing server name. It still is not recongized.

I found a work around that works. Got to Settings...Icloud....account......advanced....outgoing mail server.....
Add an "other" server.
Host Name p01-smtp.mail.me.com
Put in your me.com email address as username and your Apple ID password
SSL is on
Authentication is password
Server port 587
This worked for me.....I will use this until the bug is fixed. Don't make this server your primary. Leave it in "on" status in the other category.
Good luck

Mobile Me was my default email account, so if I did any emailing like trying to send a photo directly from iphoto it would send from the mobile me address. Is there a way to set a different default email account now that mobile me is gone?

We used Mobile Me for our default email. So if you answered an ad from a site or tried to send a photo directly from iphoto, it would use the mobile me account. Now that its gone, can I set a different address as my default?

WEll, MobileMe has been moved & still works in iCloud.
Did you setrup an iCloud account?
Do not delete the old account yet. sign up for an iCloud account if you haven't.
MAKE A NEW ACCOUNT - DO NOT TRY TO ALTER YOUR EXISTING ACCOUNT.
I understand .mac mail will still come through. Do not delete the old account yet.
You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
• Server name: imap.mail.me.com
• SSL Required: Yes
• Port: 993
• Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
• Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
• Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
• SSL Required: Yes
• Port: 587
• SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
• Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
• Password: Your iCloud password
Also, you must upgrade your password to meet the new criteria: 8 characters, including upper and lower case and numbers. If you have an older password that does not meet these criteria, when you try to setup mail on your mac, using all of the IMAP criteria listed above, it will still give a server error message. Go to http://appleid.apple.com then follow directions to change your password, then go back to setting up your mail using the IMAP instructions above.

How do I send Windows-friendly network drive links using Mail (in Tiger)?

I'm in an office with mostly Windows users (and Windows NT servers). Most folks use Windows email applications such as Outlook and Outlook Express. I use Apple Mail 2.1.3 (753.1) in Tiger v10.4.11. But I want to send links within my emails to files on our various network drives and have the receiving Windows/Outlook users click the links to automatically open the various files, but I can't get this to work. Any ideas on how to format the network links so they work this way?
I don't log into the network drives normally until I want to access things, perhaps I should. But I've tried this and still no go.

Thanks, but I've tried this in a variety of ways, none of which seem to work. So there's more detail required. Here's some background and examples of what I've tried without success.
The Windows WORKGROUP is, say, "JAMESCORP" - but what's the equivalent in Apple networking to a Workgroup? And does this even matter? It seems to not matter?
The Windows drives are mapped on Windows machines as, say, F: G: H: I: etc... But I don't know what the equivalent concept of mapping drives is on an Apple (more on smb, below). I typically don't map Windows' network drives (I use VMWare Fusion) on the Windows side since I did not like the constant Windows messages reminding me each time I'm out of the office that it can't find the Drive F:. Then it can't find Drive G: - etc. ad infinitum. What a pain.
On the Apple side, I use Finder's command-K to smb into the server that contains all the partitioned drives. In the smb list, the drive names are, say, mapp-cdrv and mapp-ddrv etc (which, in Windows map to F: and G: respectively).
So when you type "servername" - I'm lost regarding just what the servername should really be? Is it:
a) F: (which does not work for a Windows user once it's delivered via Apple Mail to an Microsoft Outlook email) So this seems to not be the proper servername - or if it is, there's a translation happening in the delivery mechanism that makes it not work. (I "Add Hyperlink" from the Edit menu to get the link into an Apple Mail message.)
b) mapp-cdrv (which works on an Apple, but when sent to a Windows machine's email (e.g., Outlook) does not work - so this isn't it. This servername is not something the Windows machines understand
c) cifs://workgroup;""me@<ip address of server>/mapp-cdrv (which, again, doesn't work on a Windows machine once sent thru Apple Mail).
I've tried a variety of other permutations of "servername" - both Windows-like server names and Apple-like server names - but none seem to work once delivered the way I'm delivering the links (thru Apple Mail to Outlook.)
Any other ideas? Thanks for the help! ; )

Sending an email to a group using Mail

Hi,
On my mac, to send an email to a group, I just type in the name of the group in my address book and all the emails pop up instantly. However, this doesn't happen when sending an email on my iPhone. Is there a way to send group emails using my iPhone? I have the address book synced so all my contacts and groups are in the address book on the iPhone the same as my mac. Thanks

Not directly using the Mail app, no. There are 3rd party apps that provide that function, for example:
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mail2group-send-email-to-groups/id292493461?mt=8

When sending from a mobile app, how can I choose which of my computers to open the document on?

I have a laptop and a desktop computer connected to creative cloud. How can I choose which machine to open up a document from my iOS app? I don't want it to open on both overtime I send something from my iOS device.

Received mysteries text regarding a code send from my own Iphone after using a unprotected public Wifi-hotspot

Today I received a text from my own Iphone number displayed as +28 18 xx xx that I have not written myself. It said I now had a new code thas was xxxx without specifying what for. Just before I got that text I had used a couple of different public wifi-hotspots. Should i be worried? After i searched Google all I could find was that it was a possibility your Iphone can be hacked on Wifi and the other option was that the code I received maybe was from the Verified SecureCode by Visa & Mastercard that I did sign up for a long time ago. If that was the case someone would be trying to use my credit card. If anyone could help me to disclose why i got the text from my own Iphone I would be very grateful.

I cannot send from one specific BT Mail account but can access folders using IMAP.

Thunderbird 31.3.0 on WIndows 8.1 64 bit.
I have two email accounts configured into Thunderbird.
Both are BT accounts and have identical configurations.
IMAP is used for reading mail, SMTP for sending mail.
On one I can read folders, delete emails from the Bulk Mail folder, fetch and send mail.
On the other I seem to be able to do everything except send mail.
I can read mail, delete SPAM, but for some reason not send emails.
Both accounts are using "mail.btinternet.com" as the IMAP and SMTP server.
I am using Thunderbird as a back up email client to deal with a very few messages which cause major problems with my main email client which is Windows Live Mail 2012. I have double checked and the mail server details are the same between the two and my WLM client can send emails to the same SMTP server on the same port as Thunderbird fails on.
I know the password is correct because I can connect over IMAP and delete SPAM using Tbird.
The only difference that I can see between the two accounts is that one is "@btinternet.com" and the other is "@talk21.com".
The symptoms - I see the progress bar with "Connected to mail.btinternet.com..." and green all the way across.
Some time later I get a separate warning saying "Login to server mail.btinternet.com failed".
Because of the time delay I am assuming that the session has timed out.
I am also assuming that if the credentials were wrong the rejection would have been immediate (although the delay may be to reduce the effectiveness of brute force attempts to guess the password).
So I know that the IMAP credentials are O.K. - I can access the mailbox.
I know that the SMTP credentials are O.K. - I can send mail from WLM using the same settings.
Further confusion - I know that it worked in the past because I have a test message in my Sent mail from when I first set up Tbird.
This is all very weird.
Has anyone else seen something similar?
Also, is there a debug option where I can trace the SMTP protocol when the email is being sent?
Cheers
LGC

Update: - I sent two separate test messages and saved both the failing emails as Draft to retry after restarting Tbird.
I've just noticed that they are both in a Drafts folder on my mail server.
Not, however, the Drafts area for emails composed using the web mail client but under a separate Folders tree.
I can't send the email with the web mail client, although I can forward it.
So further proof that the IMAP side is working.

Use Gmail to send from your other email addresses

hello,
i have setup gmail account on my Q10, but i can not use it's "send from other email addresses" functionality.
description of the situation:
i have my own domain with configured email forwarding to gmail account. i publically use only domain email address so in fact no body knows that this really goes to google. on the other side i have configured google to send from different account, so i use SMTP of my domain. in general it looks like gmail is just my mail application and mail storage - my domain has really thin limits. it has the advantage that i really send form my domain address, receiver sees only my domain address but the mail goes through google, so i use gmail's interface which i like and also message is stored in "Sent" folder of gmail.
the only idea which comes to me to configure similar setup on Q10 is to configure same account twice, but with different "from" address on the other account, but won't it be than i get double notification per one email?
regards,
mark

Hi all,
This can be also a general question without any connection to the Gmail service, and I formulate itt following way:
Is the email client of the bbq10 capable for sending emails with different from email adresses?
All the most popular email clients are capable for that, on a special way the former blackberry bold was also capable for that function!! I know, i used this function.
I have ca 10 email adresses, which are only aliases and all email will forwarded to one mailbox. That means only once downloaded, and when i reply to or forward an email i can always choose the from adress, as i would write from a different email account.
So whatsup dear blackberry service provider, are you one step back as also with the disappearing of the good old BIS service?
Despite of this i like bbq10 very much
Thanks for all kind of help

How can i use Mail on 2 macs with the same mail address?

Hi,
I have two Macs, connected through WLAN. From each Mac I can use Mail (sending and receiving) with the same mail address. This worked well; on each Mac I have separate files storing the mails (input, sent, trash, …).
Some days ago I had to change the provider. (Perhaps this may be the reason for my problem?) Now both mail systems are connected - in the way that if I put on Mac *1 a mail into the trash it is automatically thrown into the trash on Mac *2.
What is to be done to separate the two systems (i. e. make them independent of each other)?

It looks like you are using a IMAP mail account, a protocol used by most email providers nowadays. Read -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Message_Access_Protocol
The main feature of IMAP is the sync of all the changes you do on your mail account. If you want to keep your mails on one Mac, have a look at this site -> http://kb.mit.edu/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=3908294

Running mac OS 10.5.8, Using Mail 3.5, Text encoding set to Automatic. messages arrive, but the message is 200 lines of alphanumerics. Top says Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64.

I use Mail 3.6 and some incoming email messages start with
Content-Type: text/plain;
charset=utf-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
then go on to 200+ lines of alphanumerics (mostly upper and lower case letters).
What causes this problem, how can I fix it?
Text encoding is set to Automatic, and I'm not using any fancy fonts. Senders are usually
sending from PCS that may well use Outlook.
