Setting up a BT email Address on a Mobile Phone

I am trying to set up an email address on my wife's mobile phone.
She uses a sub account not our primary email address.
The first setting required is "Your account email address" will this be the primary or secondary address, or what?
The next setting is "User Name", she wants to use the secondary address she has set on her laptop. The next setting is the password for her secondary address.
Can anyone help.

It'll be the email address that you want set up on the 'phone
The next setting is "User Name", she wants to use the secondary address she has set on her laptop.
So use it.
The next setting is the password for her secondary address.
The only problem I can see there is if the password isn't known, forgotten or whatever.

My imessage is sending through my email address not my mobile phone number, and when i go into settings to change it my phone number isnt a option

If i log in and out of my apple id, my number comes up as an option but i wont let me select it. i have reset my network settings multiple times, and restored all settings as well and nothing is working

I assume your phone is using your phone number. Select an E-Mail also. Under the Select Area a new Area should show up offering to choose whether to use the number or the E-Mail to start new conversations. Pick the Phone number. Go to iMessage and start new conversations.

I created an Apple ID for my daughter with her own gmail address, but I want her Apple ID and primary email address to be an iCloud email address. How can I do this? I can't set up an icould email address for her without first creating an Apple ID?

I'm not good with computers so please explain in simple way...:)
I also wonder what the best way is to set up accounts for children in a family. I dont want them to be able to purchase apps etc through the parents accounts, also some things we like to share as a family and others we don't want to share. Is there any good. clear, simple explanation from Apple Support about these issues? Or best to go to Apple store and go to genius bar or one to one advise?
thanks

You can set up an iCloud account which makes the iCloud email address you choose the Apple ID and thus the login for it:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/22283348#22283348
though I have to say I think it's more sensible if the ID is another address, both for security reasons (so people don't know what the login is) and as a contact address from Apple if the account were to stop working and they needed to contact you. So personally I would to to System Preferences, enter the GMail address which is an ID, and then choose a nerw @icloud.com address.
If she has her own iCloud account she will need either her own computer or her own user account on your Mac to be able to make use of it. You should note that under Apple's terms of use Apple IDs are only available to children of 13 and over.
As to purchasing apps, this is nothing to do with iCloud: it's iTunes, and the login can be different. So you can all sign into the same iTunes account but have different iCloud accounts. Or she can have her own iTunes account if she is of suitable age (credit card needed for purchasing apps).
If you have other children you should be aware that any one Mac or device can create only three iCloud accounts - this is tied to the serial number, not the user account, and once reached cannot be bypassed. You can of course sign into an iCloud account created on another device.

@poloacuna
At this time you cannot reassign printer email addresses. Also, keep in mind If you delete a printer email address then you will not be able to use that same email address again for six months.

My icloud emails arent arriving most of the time and a few days ago my iphone and ipad started showing "Can't Get Mail" box. This has not happened before since I set up the iclud email address with the purchase of my ipad about a month ago.

My icloud emails arent arriving most of the time and a few days ago my iphone and ipad started showing "Can't Get Mail" box. This has not happened before since I set up the iclud email address with the purchase of my ipad about a month ago.

That's one of the weird things.. it recognizes it maybe 10% of the time. And usually, only after I do the two-button reset. Problem is.. since it won't charge above 2%, anytime I try to do a restore or anything like that using iTunes, my device shuts off and I lose whatever progress I'd made.
So, an update... after reading through a bunch of similar complaints (there are literally 1000's of them so there's NO WAY this isn't somehow ios7 related, thanks a lot APPLE ) I decided to try a restore in recovery mode. After 3 hours and several disconnections... I ended up having to just set it up as a new iPad, as the restore did nothing. Weirdly though... as I was doing the restore in recovery mode.. I noticed I'd gotten up to a 10% charge.. higher than it's been since September, so after setting it up as a new device, I turned it off and plugged it in using the wall charger. 2 hours later and I was up to 38%. Still not great, as my iPad, before ios7 could've fully charged twice in the amount of time it took for me to now get 28% more of a charge. And that's with a fully cleaned out device.. so that really ***** and I'm now more confused than ever.
But I'm gonna leave it overnight charging and see what I come up with tomorrow. Sadly, when I paid $600 for it in February, I never expected to have to play "wait and see" with it...

How do you set-up a hotmail email address in mail

how do you set-up a hotmail email address in mail?
I cant seem to add it. any ideas why it cant connect to the server? what server address should i be using?
regards
Brendon

Hi bmuur,
I also had the same problem.
I clicked Microsoft Exchange and kept trying to add my hotmail account that way but it kept asking for a server address for it to work.
If you go into Internet Accounts and instead of clicking Microsoft Exchange scroll down to the bottom of the list and click Add Other Account...
It will ask what sort of account you want to be created and I selected Add Mail Account and clicked create.
Enter your full name, hotmail email address and password.
I then clicked create and it worked for me.
Hopefully this solves your problem.

Why can't I set up a 2nd email address?

Ok so I followed all the help instructions for setting up a second email address and all is fine. I can send test emails to my first account and I receive them within the same inbox. But then I hit two roadblocks:
1.) When I reply to the test message it bounces back.
" (reason: 550 5.1.1 unknown or illegal alias"
2.) The password window keeps popping up. After entering my password I get "The POP server “pop-server.nyc.rr.com” rejected the password for user “(my new email account)”
What's going on???

Christina,
The password rejection could have several causes: The most common is that you're already logged into the new account - using webmail and Mail at the same time -, in which case you need to log out in order to log back into the mail account. Some providers put a block on logging in to an email account for a period of time after failed login attempts. Your Keychain may not have the right password stored for the account. Mail may not have the right password stored for the account. Your provider may allow only one account to be logged in at a time.
There's lots of room for speculation, but your best bet is to call up RoadRunner tech support and ask them to check the account and whether you are running afoul of one of the problems noted above.
The reason I said that you might have a single email mailbox with multiple aliases is this snippet from your original post: unknown or illegal alias.

Can I set up a business email address?

Hi
I currently have the email address [email protected] but want to set up a work email address (eg [email protected]) IS this something I can do through Mozilla? or do I have to go through my broadband supplier?
Thanks

Thunderbird is not an email provider. Only providers issue email addresses. Thunderbird is email client software.

Problems setting up an iCloud email address

I want to set up an additional email address, an icloud.com address. But the checkmark next to Mail is already checked, because I am signed in with my Apple ID.

Each iCloud account only includes a single email account. You can create up to 3 additional @icloud.com email alias address to use that are linked to your account and will receive incoming email in the same inbox as your main address, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622.
To create an additional email account you have to create a secondary iCloud account. You do this by going to System Preferences>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...click the "+" on the bottom of the left sidebar, then click iCloud from the list to the right and enter a separate Apple ID.

I can't seem to remember my security answers and I'm not able to set up a rescue email address and Idon't know what to do.

I can't seem to remember my security answers and I'm not able to set up a rescue email address and I don't know what to do.

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed, filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.
