TS4002 How do you receive your icloud mail on Snow Leopard?

I have Leopard on both my iMac and Macbook Pro and today the email stopped working. I had a mobileme account and when the said to switch to icloud I called their tech and said I wasn't upgrading to Lion yet and still wanted to keep my email address, so he walked me through the steps to make icloud work with Leopard. (unfortunately I didn't have a log from the call.)
Just spent 1 hour waiting for an icloud tech and then when we connected another 45 minutes before (after I told him up front I had Leopard) he said they don't deal with tech support for Leopard and icloud. A bit frustrating to say the least.
Anyone know the steps to reinstate icloud on my macs?

Thanks for this. I followed most of these instructions, but no incoming mail on my MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard until I checked the "Use SSL" box (noting that it's required in your instructions) next to the port number in Mail's Preferences/Advanced. As soon as I did that, the port number "993" appeared, and after saving my changes, quitting Mail and restarting, my new account retrieved all my stored Inbox messages and I was good to go.
Thanks again for solving my question.

I don't think you can remove your email. If you are concerned about privacy make sure you have it set so that you are the only one who can view it. You do this under the privacy settings under Your Stuff - Profile " If you want to change your email you can go here to make changes.

How do you change your icloud account when you change email address

How do you change your Icloud account details from your old email address to your new email address?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple, Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

How do you turn your outgoing mail server to online vs offline?

How do you turn your outgoing mail server to online vs offline

I had this problem too but I fixed it today. I have been unable to send emails with two of my 4 accounts.
Go to the mail menu preferences.
Click on account in question.
Select the outgoing SMTP mail server (the one offline), this has a drop down list, click on the edit server list.
Click on the advanced button.
Make sure use default port is checked.
Make sure SSL is unchecked (unless your provider requires it, mine does not work with it checked).
Have authentication set to password.
User name should be your email address for that account.
Make sure correct password is entered (for some strange reason my password box was blank on this account).
Push the ok button.
For me the SSL box was checked and the password was missing. This is strange to me considering I have unchecked the SSL Box on the mail preference advance page. Also, I went through the complete set up account when I first created the account, why was my outgoing server password box empty?
I hope this helps.

How do you erase mountain lion to install snow leopard?

Hi, My mother now has a new to her late 09 mini that originally shipped with snow leopard. When she bought it it came with mountain lion preinstalled from a private seller. We were thinking that to be on the safe side that it might be better to erase and install what's on it just to be sure it is secure. I tried to erase and install snow leopard from a disk but it says that the installer is not compatible with this version of osx(mountain lion). Question: How do I erase mountain lion and install snow leopard?
I've read here that there is possibly a built in recovery disk that I can use to erase and reinstall mountain lion. Q: Is there a built in recovery disk available in my situation? and if so should I use it or be even safer by installing snow leopard instead?
Thank you,

I think I found the answer (from sl install disk use disk utility to erase then install sl). Thanks for looking.

How do you change your icloud account

My phone keeps saying it is full I believe my kids are sharing it with me so I want to have my own icloud account. How can I do this?

If you are trying to change the email address associated with your iCloud Apple ID, try going to https://appleid.apple.com/, click Manage Your Apple ID, sign into your iCloud ID, click Name, ID, and Email Addresses on the left, then click on the Edit link to the right of the email address you want to change.

How Can you get your hot mail.

How can I use mail on my Mac to get my hot mail like i did with outlook on my PC.?
Mac Minni Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Hello,
If you want to use MSN / Hotmail with Apple's mail, check out the program HTTPMail Plugin at:
http://www.automagic-software.com/downloads.php
You can also download it from SourceForge:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/httpmail-plugin
And, strangely, while both the developer's site and SourceForge lists the latest version as 1.47 - Tiger release 2005-11-25, I found a 1.48 release at:
http://mac.softpedia.com/get/Internet-Utilities/httpmail-plugin.shtml
And also:
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/10842
And also:
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/18189
I just downloaded the 1.48 version, and it is in-fact a 1.48 release. So, that would appear to be the most current version. Perhaps the normal / direct sites just haven't been updated yet.
You can see a screen-shot and brief description of the older 1.46 version at:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/email_chat/danielshttpmailplugin.html
The 1.47 version of the httpmail plug-in was released in November of 2005. But, the 1.48 version was apparently released in March of 2006.
It is not a "universal binary". It is a PowerPC only program / plug-in.
This is not an issue if you are using a PowerPC Mac. You can just install it and use it.
As for Intel Macs, it will install, but not run in a Intel Native program.
If you want to use a PowerPC plug-in with Mail on an Intel Mac, then you have to set Mail to run in PowerPC mode through Rosetta.
That will enable the plug-in to work. But, that means running mail through Rosetta which may be slower.
Just to be safe, you might actually want to set mail to run in Rosetta before you install the plug-in. That would probably be the safest route.
Here's a document about forcing a program to run in Rosetta.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303120
Give this a try and see if it works for you.
Hope this helps.

HT2623 How do you change your icloud surname to married name?

How can I change my icloud email address to my married name?

Once you have created an iCloud account and chosen an @icloud.com address to go with it you can't change the address (short of creating an entirely new account).
However, all is not lost. You can add up to three 'email aliases' - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account. (In fact it's a good idea to give out alias addresses, rather than the main address, because if they attract spam you can easily change them.) (New aliases can only be @icloud.com ones; @me.com addresses cannot now be created.)
You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account, move it to another account, or reactivate it if you delete it.
More information on aliases here:

How do you change your icloud account information? It contains an old email address that i no longer have access to

I have an icloud account but i need to change the user id for it as its an old email address that i no longer have access to. This is different from my apple id.

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.
Note: this will only work if the old ID is yours, and if your new ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID).

How do I upgrade my iCloud storage on Snow Leopard?

Hi,
I'm still running Snow Leopard on my old Mac Pro due to certain programs that won't run on Lion or Mountain Lion. I had a Mobile Me account, and then it switched to an iCloud account automatically. I just got an email saying:
As a thank you for being a former MobileMe member, you received a 20 GB complimentary storage upgrade when you moved to iCloud. Your upgrade expires on September 30, 2013.
When it expires, your iCloud storage will be automatically adjusted to the free 5 GB plan. Note that you are currently using 7.99 GB of storage. If you exceed your storage plan on September 30, 2013, iCloud Backup, Documents in the Cloud, and iCloud Mail will temporarily stop working.
To continue using these iCloud features without interruption, reduce the amount of iCloud storage you are using or purchase a storage plan by September 30, 2013.
My problem is I would like to keep 20 GB of storage, but after going through Apple's support, and iCloud, found that there's no way for me to upgrade my storage since I don't run Lion or Mountain Lion on this computer (to upgrade, it says to go to System Preferences, couldn't find anything on the iCloud website). All of my storage is from Mail, and I would like to keep the storage there. Is there any way to upgrade my storage without switching to Lion or Mountain Lion? I don't want to lose this email account.

I have the exact same situation as you mattiger18. I cannot install Lion or I will disrupt programs that I run on Snow Leopard that are critical for my work. Apple is not providing a solution for us. Last time they migrated from Mobile Me to iCloud they lost months of emails and had emails bouncing to my accounts. They destroyed 8 weeks of my business. They have done it again. They have already lost several months of my emails and they are bouncing my business email. It's outrageous!
I spent thousands of $ on my software and I have no intention of installing Lion or other OS iterations. It is bad enough that Apple's service patches are crippling some of my applications. My biggest regret was not altogether getting off of iCloud and setting up all my business email on other email servers like gmail, etc. It is so outrageous what Apple is doing it is beyond words. They are supremely greedy and totally uncaring for their customers.
