Trouble using mobile me alias email account on iphone

I am unable to use any of my mobile me alias email accounts on my 3G i phone. The base email account works well.
On my home computer (Dell with xp), I have mobile me mail preferences set to use an alias account as default when sending email from mobile me. This works well on the computer but the preference is not followed on the phone.
This is in addition to not being able to enter the alias email as an account on the phone itself.

Here is a thread regarding the same question discussed in June of this year. To my knowledge the problem hasn't been solved yet, however there are some options to get you half-way there.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1614481&start=0&tstart=0
I'll admit I haven't looked into this since June, so there may have been updates since then. But as I recall the options are as follows:
1) Enable only your default mobileme (mm) address and you'll only be allowed to send from that account.
2) Enable both your default mm address and an alias, you will be able to send from either address, but every email you receive to either account will show up twice (once under each account).
3) Enable only the alias. If you do this, your iphone will no longer will receive push notification of incoming emails, it seems to require the default address for this functionality.
Hopefully all this information is correct, this was my understanding at the time I got too frustrated with it to look into it any further.

  • Using gMail with mulitple email accounts on iphone

    Ok here is one that I have not been able to figure out.
    I use my gmail account as a one stop shop for the various emails accounts I have. I have accounts set up in gmail so that if someone sends me an email from my other account "[email protected]" for example, the email is delivered to my "[email protected]" inbox. I have it set up so that when i reply, it appears as if the email is coming from "[email protected]" insted of "[email protected]"..
    this all works fine and good when i am using Mac mail on my macbook pro running mac osx. In mac mail with OSX, the same situation as above applies. mail all is delivered via IMAP to my mac mail "gmail" inbox as if it was addressed to "sam@redstar", and I can reply or create a message from that same account. all with gmail running things in the background.
    simple and sweet. easy peasy. works just like I need it to.
    However, on my iphone4 i am running into issues. When mail is sent to "[email protected]" and i check my email on my iphone (which is set up to synch/imapped to my gmail account) i am unable to reply as "[email protected]". the mail i am replying to, or creating new, is being sent from "[email protected]" rather than the "[email protected]".
    Can anyone help me figure out how to get iphone email app working like the mac mail client so the emails can be sent from the various acocunts coming into my gmail account?
    thank you in advance for any help!
    Chris

    Thanks Chris, but I think if I add that account to my phone, I will get duplicate messages:
    the msg that was orignially sent to that account and coming from the server
    and the same message for that account that is being forwarded to the gmail account..
    so when i pull message down to my phone, both copies would show up as a new message to each account.
    See what I am saying? Or am I making a mistake there?
    thank you again

  • Can i use an old eprint email account with a new printer?

    can i use an old eprint email account with a new printer?

    Hello arbazu,
    Unfortunately, when setting up a new/replacement printer, you wont be able to use the same email address, nor can it be transferred to another printer. Once an email is used, the email address itself is not able to be used for a certain period of time (which I believe is 6 months).
    However, by creating a new email address, but adding an 01 or 02 at the end, you can get something very similar to what you had previously.

    Outlook is an e-mail client that runs on PCs and Macs. It is NOT an account type.
    Who is your email provider?

  • Limit or issues with adding email account to iphone 4 AND Macbook Pro

    Is there a limit to email accounts on iphone 4... I tried to add a 4th email account to iphone 4 AND to my email program on MacBook Pro.  It worked for a couple days and not both say user name or pass is incorrect.  I CAN check email from gmail.com STRANGE! :/  Annoyed
    Thanks for info!

    think all do that same deal when changing network if you're driving
    it's not the speakers it's the wire connecting the device with the speakers
    it will act as a neutral antenna and receive the harmonics from the gsm signals when they get a sms or change network and that will play in the speakers
    maybe you could look into a very very very shielded cable 3.5mm cable which would be protected from those harmonics or maybe you should look into external speakers which use bluetooth a2dp profile

  • HT4865 How can I have multiple icloud email accounts using the same rescue email account.

    I have several Iphones for my business for managers to use.
    I would like to set them up to send me the recovery emails but it seems only one icloud address can do that.
    Is it possible to have multiple icloud email accounts using the same - seperate recovery email address?

    Unfortunately, you cannot change your primary @me.com or @icloud.com email address, you could however create an alias or create a completely new account.

  • ALIAS email account doesn't work quite right

    Is there anyway to make this iPhone email app work just like it does on the computer with the Alaises?
    I set up my Alias email name as a separate account within the Email settings, so that if I am on the road, I could still make it work like I do with my regular Mail account on the computer or webmail at .Mac -
    but it doesn't work.
    If click on the Alias account as it shows, it ends up sending the email from my main account name and does not distinguish it like it does on my computer.
    This is a problem for me, as I use 4 aliases, just to differentiate my work focuses. The Mail app in the iPhone should do exactly what the computer does, but it sends everything out as my real account name.
    Any fixes???
    Thank you!

    I have three separate email accounts set up on my phone. They are all three POP3 accounts. My main account, my work account, and my student account. My work and student account outgoing servers do not allow for relaying, so I have to use something else to send them from. I use my main ISP outgoing server for that because it has authentication. In the setup for my work and student accounts on the phone, the information entered has my work email address on the one, and my student address on the other. When I send mail from either of those accounts, it shows as being from those accounts. Even replies to mail I receive there shows as being from those accounts. I can't speak about IMAP accounts, not the .Mac. I did set the accounts up directly on the phone, not by syncing them from my computer.
    Hope this information is of some help for you.

  • Yahoo alias email account not accessible

    I am having a problem accessing my email from an email alias account through Yahoo since they changed to the new interface. It works in IE8, but not in Firefox 6 which makes me think it's an issue at your end and not Yahoo.
    I have a website, commonbondhistorians.com, which is hosted by Yahoo and has an associated [email protected] email. I later created a second website under that account, gardenstatelegacy.com with an associated email of [email protected]
    Before Yahoo changed their email interface, I was able to log into both email addresses independently of one another. After the change, even when I enter the gardenstatelegacy.com user name and password, I get taken to the commonbondhistorians.com email page. This happens on both Firefox and IE.
    However, I am able to click on the "signed in as" drop down menu at the upper left of the commonbondhistorians.com email page and select gardenstatelegacy.com which then takes me to that email account in IE. This does not work in Firefox. Which is why I believe this is an issue with how Firefox is reacting to the Yahoo page rather than a problem with Yahoo.
    I am running Windows XP Service Pack 3; Firefox 6.0.1; IE 8.0.6001
    I do use WebMail Notifier. Prior to the Yahoo interface change, this would alert me to incoming emails in both accounts. Now it only alters me to commonbondhistorians.com. I have this problem regardless of if WebMail Notifier is disabled.
    I can access the gardenstatelegacy.com email account if I go through the Yahoo Small Business email manager page, but obviously I don't want to have to go through all that just to check my emails.
    Thank you!

    I am going through the same problem on my 4s, tried re-starting and still nothing. Imessage, facebook, tweeter, and icloud on settings greyed out. This problem started a few hours ago.  Please help.

  • Having trouble adding new email account on Iphone 4

    Hello,
    I got my Iphone 4 on release day. The sync went ok, not completely trouble free, but was able to get this thing sync-ed.
    I have four email accounts sync-ed with Itunes, however, I had created an extra email (pop) for exclusive use on my IPhone. I have been trying to add this new address on my phone, but keep getting the following error:
    "Cannot Connect Using SSL
    Do you want to try setting up the account without SSL?"
    I have checked, and the settings for the new account are correct. If I answer yes I receive the following message:
    "The SMTP server "smtp-server.new.rr.com" doesn't support Password authentication. Please check your account settings and try again." and an OK button.
    Settings have been checked to match the other four accounts, all are in the same server, POP and SMTP.
    Thanks for any help.

    The problem is not thru TWC... I can access my account in Outlook and also by Webmail.
    The problem is on the Iphone 4 (I had no problem on my 3G). Like I said, the settings I have entered are the same as the settings for the other 4 accounts. The only portion of the setup that I cannot access during the "failed" setup is the "Advanced" where I can turn SSL off and confirm password authentication.

  • I am having trouble setting up my tesco email account on my ipad3 - help?

    I use a tesco email account which I view through outlook on my PC but I am having trouble setting this up on my iPad

    You need to first set up a new account with the information provided by your university. They should supply you with an email address and you should be able to provide your own password. They should also provide you with the name of the incoming mail server to use as well as the name of the outgoing mail server. They should let you know whether to set up the account as an IMAP account or a POP account (with the servers to match).
    If you already have all this information at hand, setting up the email account should be fairly easy. What have you tried thus far?

  • Can't read email using my primary apple email account

    Ok, I'm new to this forum but here is my problem
    Usually I can read Email using my primary Apple E-mail account BEFORE I updated my Ipad into IOS 8.
    After I updated my Ipad into IOS 8 (non-jailbreak and from IOS 5 jailbreak), My Ipad says that I need to sign up an Icloud email to use the Mail App.
    Then I can't use my Primary Apple Account as an E-mail anymore. When people send a mail to my primary apple account, I cant read it because I cant read emails using my Primary Apple Account anymore.
    When I signed in with my primary apple Email account and opened my Mail App, It used my Icloud email instead my primary apple email.
    I tried everything Include making an email aliases but my primary apple email uses @Yahoo.com and I can only use aliases of @Icloud.com
    Can someone please help me so I can read E-mails when people send an Email to my primary apple account? Because I need to see those subcription mails and change my password of my online game account(<- This one is URGENT).
    And sorry for my bad English because I'm Indonesian.

    go to settings/mail, contacts.../your mail account/outgoing mail server settings/ and see if you put in the needed password to access your mail server.
