Setting Up a Dot Mac Alias on iPhone

Could someone please tell me the smtp and incoming settings for setting up a .Mac alias on the iPhone? I found a discussion where it said you have to set it up as an "other" (as opposed to a .Mac), but it does not give you the step-by-step. I thought I knew how the settings would be worded, but clearly I am wrong.

Here are some instructions on how to do it on the Moto Q. While the steps aren't the same, the information you need should be here.

  • .e/.mac alias on iphone

    Is there anyway yet to easily send messages from the iphone from a .me/.mac alias?
    On an unrelated topic, is there any way to edit a user alias in this forum. I have not been able to find a way to modify an alias here.
    Thanks.

    If you want to have multiple "from" addresses - whether they are .mac, .me or anything else...the only way to do this is to setup your MobileMe account as an IMAP account instead of letting it automatically configure it for you.
    Mail Account Information:
    Account Type: IMAP
    Email Address: [email protected], [email protected], etc
    Full Name
    Incoming Mail Server: mail.me.com
    User Name: (your MobileMe username)
    Password: (your MobileMe password)
    Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): you will have to use an SMTP server that allows you to send from a different from address with authentication. You can not use default MobileMe SMTP server. If you have a gmail account - you can use gmail smtp but there are some downsides to using gmail, i.e. Outlook clients display "sent on behalf of your gmail account" when they reply to your e-mail.
    You will sync this account to your iPhone and use it for e-mail
    On your iPhone you will set up a MobileMe account using your MobileMe information, i.e. [email protected] Then you will turn OFF e-mail sync and turn ON the Contacts, Calendars and Bookmarks.
    The only downside to this solution (besides it is not as easy as letting it auto configure everything for you) is that you give up "PUSH" e-mail. I found the PUSH e-mail to be too distracting anyway.
    This will allow you to set your primary address for sending/replying to e-mail...but still be able to select any of the others when you reply or create e-mail.
    The other practical use of this solution is that you can share contacts, bookmarks, calendar with another person, i.e. spouse while having your own e-mail accounts.
    My wife and I share bookmarks, addressbook and iCal so that our Macs and iPhone have the same information.

  • Using .mac alias on iphone

    I would like to use one of my ,mac alias for my return mail on iphone. I try not to use my main .mac email to keep it safe from spammers ect. I see in the setting you can change the email address but I am not sure it is safe to change it to one of my alias' or not. Please let me know.
    Thank you

    There is no facility in the iPhone's mail settings to choose an alternate .mac alias.
    Additionally, in the .mac mail account settings, there is only one place for entering an e-mail address.
    You can do it manually, however.
    1. Add a new account (Settings > Mail > Add Account... > Other
    2. Make sure the IMAP tab is selected above
    3. In the 'address' field, enter your complete alias address, including the '@mac.com'
    4. For every instance of 'User Name' enter your main .mac username (no '@mac.com' necessary)
    5. Incoming host name: mail.mac.com
    6. Outgoing host name: smtp.mac.com
    That's it! Tested and works 100% for me.

  • Send Email FROM .Mac Alias??

    Does anyone know how to send an email from your .Mac Alias in iPhone?
    Thanks,

    Do you use the Mail application on your Mac for accessing your .Mac account and alias email addresses?
    If so, all messages addressed to an alias email address are received in the Inbox mailbox for your primary .Mac account. An alias email address is really not a separate email account - it uses the same user name and password as the primary account.
    When creating the alias email address as a separate account with the iPhone, you enter the user name and password for your primary .Mac account but your alias email address is entered in the email address field to appear as the sending email address when sending a message with the alias. When an email account is checked for new messages, the account's user name and password is what is used so this is why the same email is delivered to the primary account and to the alias email address which isn't a separate account at the incoming mail server.

  • I want to set up my new iPhone 4s on my mac but my iPhone 3GS is sync with my pc how do I get my stuff of 3gs

    I want to set up my new iPhone 4s on my mac but my iPhone 3GS is sync with my pc how do I get my all my stuff of the 3GS on to the iPhone 4

    You should be able to sync your 3GS to your computer and make a backup.  Then connect your iPhone 4S and restore from a backup.  This should effectively move all your data to your new device.  Report back if you have any problems.
    If you are wanting to move our data from a Windows machine to your Mac, just let us know.

  • How to use a .Mac alias in the outgoing address field from iPhone?

    I do not want my .Mac Apple ID showing up in the outgoing address field from my iPhone. I want to use an alias instead, just like I use in Mail. How can I use the same alias in iPhone?
    The iPhone has been great once I finally got it activated...no problems synching from Outlook on my PC and Address Book and iCal on my Mac. Now all of my PC and Mac data are finally merged on my iPhone and on both computers...wish I would have saved the money I spent on two versions of MissingSync! Looking forward to some software updates...

    If you want to setup a different REPLY TO, you have to use the OTHER shortcut when creating the mail account on the iPhone. It allows you to specify an address in the Account Information box different from your incoming and outgoing server login IDs.

  • Can I set up an iCloud account without owning a Mac, iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad?

    I would like to know if I can set up an iCloud account without owning a Mac, iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad.  I own a laptop that runs Windows 7 and I would like to be able to access my past purchases for all the computers in my family.

    There is no way to setup iCloud on a PC, it must be setup first on a compatible Mac, iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.

    I am having a similar issue. I had to change my apple ID because my email account is close, but am unable to change my iCloud ID. It seems there is no way to change the iCloud ID. Unless I am missing something, this seems like an oversight by Apple. Any advice anyone has would be greatly appreciated.

  • I can't Find my Mac on my iPhone even though it's set up correctly

    Friend left her laptop on a plane yesterday.  Flagged it up to me.  I have iPhone 4s and 5s and and iPad and a MacBook Pro.  I can find the phones and the iPad on each other and on the laptop.  However the laptop doesn't appear anywhere.  I read how to set up find my Mac and at no times does it give me the option of telling it to use Find my iPhone.  What am I missing here?

    Check this and see if you have your music there.  Or check wherever you have you rmusic stored.
    I've never heard of an iOS device update that deleted the music in iTunes.

    i cannot share information to my mac from my i phone with iCloud.. i can only share from my mac to the iPhone :s every setting seems to be find with iCloud.. any ideas ?

    It may because you have iCloud and On your Mac views set up.

    1.  Open Contacts

  • How do I change the primary SMTP server address on my iPhone DOT-MAC accoun

    My original account smtp settings were for dot-mac. I am having ever increasing problems getting mail to send. I can find the settings for my primary SMTP server, but cannot edit or update them (currently smtp.mac.com), as they are all gray'd out and cannot be changed. I would like to update these settings to smpt.me.com. Is it necessary for me to delete this account in order to update the settings? That seems rather lame.

    What did not work? You could not add an additional SMTP server? It does not matter what the primary is listed as....turn it off. Then turn on the additional server you added.
    Better yet remove your .mac account and add it back as .me account.

  • HT4967 I can sync data from my Mac to my iPhone and iPad and from my iPhone to the Mac and iPad, but cannot sync data from the iPad to either device. My iPad is configured to Push. Is there another setting than I'm forgetting?

    I can update data from my Mac to my iPhone and iPad, and from my iPhone to my Mac and iPad, but cannot get data to update from my iPad to either my Mac or my iPhone.

    If new calendar events entered on your iPad do not appear on icloud.com, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar on your iPad and be sure you have selected an iCloud calendar as your default and not something else like On My iPhone, a Gmail or Yahoo calendar, etc.  If you haven't, make this change, then add a new event and see if it appears on your calendar on icloud.com now.
    If your settings are correct and new events still aren't appearing on icloud.com, add any missing calendar events from your iPad to your calendar on icloud.com.  Once the calendar on icloud.com is up to date with your iPad, go to Settings>iCloud, turn Calendars to Off, choose Delete from My iPad when prompted (they will still be in iCloud), then after a 15 seconds or so, turn Calendars back to On.  Then add a new event on your iPad and see if it appears on your calendar on icloud.com now, and on your other devices.
