UPN and Exchange Email Address
Hi,
I have always followed the practice of creating a user account in AD and copying the format for the username as the email address in Exchange. for example, the UPN would be firstname.lastname and the email address would be [email protected]
However, in an environment I have taken over the AD names are quite often in a different format to the email such as; daveb and [email protected], or stevem and [email protected]
my question is - are there any foreseeable problems with having these differing formats between an AD name and an Exchange Email? to me it looks messy and confusing because there's varying formats used but from a technical perspective what issues might I
face, would we have any problems when, say, merging another AD into ours or migrating to Exchange Online? Personally I believe firstname.surname is a good standardized format to have, I'd appreciate your opinions.
Thanks
Steve
Hi Steve,
Regarding using different formats between UPN of AD user and Exchange Email, you may face OWA login issue.

Bulk Change UserID and Primary Email Address
Hi All,
We have just successfully completed Cutover Migration and imported in all users and mailboxes from our existing Exchange 2010 environment into Exchange Online. However we are now wanting to change all UserID and Primary Email Addresses to conform with a
new username strategy. All accounts are currently Cloud Only and we do not have DirSync set up and are not planning to.
Currently the username and email address for a user is in the format [email protected] We want this now to be [email protected] for both logging in and email address. We want to maintain the old Email address as a proxy address. How is this possible?
There are about 500 users, so I need a quick way of doing this with a script?
Regards,
TimusYou can connect to Exchange Online via the powershell console.
To add an emailaddress this should work :

Changing ipod's exchange email address
Hi, i recently deleted my old exchange email address ( it was old and childish ), but i can't change it to my new email adrdress.
Here's the problem: i have no idea what to fill out in the server field... (lol, iam really is bad technology) but what is it?? my email adress is ***.***@ GMAIL.com So is ''Gmail'' what i have to fill out? each time i fill ''gmail'' in the server field it keeps verifying and verifying but it always ends up saying: '' unable to verify account information''
Please help!!!!!! It's really bugging me now because i can't check my emails from my ipod anymore!!!
And if someone actually understands me, can you please explain step by step the things i have to do and fill out? i already checked out this site: http://http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2480, but from the 3rd step ( in the link below) i dont know what to do!!!!
Thank you.Agree 100% with Ben. SIP address matching the email address is best practice and is absolutely viable, nearly 100% of deployments I've seen use this with the exception of a small handful of internal-only shops.
When users sign in with external/mobile they will need both the SIP address and AD address during sign in, but once entered it will be cached and will not need to be entered repeatedly.
As Ben mentioned, the large benefit comes from federated communications. You don't have to tell anyone your SIP address, they can just communicate with you because they know your email address.

What are valid and invalid email address characters
What are valid and invalid email address characters in Exchange 2010, for example can you have Conan.O'[email protected] is there a document that shows the valid and invalid sysmbols?
Hi
The format of email addresses is
local-part@domain where the local-part may be up to 64 characters long and the
domain name may have a
maximum of 253 characters - but the maximum 256 characters length of a forward or reverse path restricts the entire email address to be no more than 254 characters.<sup id="cite_ref-0">[1]</sup>
The formal definitions are in RFC 5322 (sections 3.2.3
and 3.4.1) and RFC 5321 - with a more readable form given in
the informational RFC 3696<sup id="cite_ref-1">[2]</sup>
and the associated errata.
Local part
The local-part of the email address may use any of these
ASCII characters
RFC 5322 Section
3.2.3:
Uppercase and lowercase English letters (a–z, A–Z) (ASCII: 65-90, 97-122)
Digits
0 to
9 (ASCII: 48-57)
Characters
!#$%&'*+-/=?^_`{|}~ (ASCII: 33, 35-39, 42, 43, 45, 47, 61, 63, 94-96, 123-126)
Character
. (dot, period, full stop) (ASCII: 46) provided that it is not the first or last character, and
provided also that it does not appear two or more times consecutively (e.g. [email protected] is not allowed.).
Special characters are allowed with restrictions. They are:
o
Space and
"(),:;<>@[\] (ASCII: 32, 34, 40, 41, 44, 58, 59, 60, 62, 64, 91-93)
The restrictions for special characters are that they must only be used when contained between quotation marks, and that 3 of them (The
space, backslash \ and
quotation mark " (ASCII: 32, 92, 34)) must also be preceded by a backslash
\ (e.g.
A quoted string may exist as a dot separated entity within the local-part, or it may exist when the outermost quotes are the outermost characters of the local-part
(e.g. abc."defghi"[email protected] or
"abcdefghixyz"@example.com are allowed. Conversely,
abc"defghi"[email protected] is not; neither is
abc\"def\"[email protected]). Quoted strings and characters however, are not commonly used.
RFC 5321 also
warns that "a host that expects to receive mail SHOULD avoid defining mailboxes where the Local-part requires (or uses) the Quoted-string form".
The local-part "postmaster" is treated specially - it is case-insensitive, and should be forwarded to the server's administrator. Technically all other local-parts
are case sensitive, therefore [email protected] and [email protected] specify different mailboxes. However most organizations treat uppercase and lowercase letters as equivalent, and also do not allow use of the technically valid characters
(space, ? and ^). Organizations are free to restrict the forms of their own email addresses as desired, e.g.,
Windows Live Hotmail,
for example, only allows creation of email addresses using alphanumerics, dot (.), underscore (_)
and hyphen (-).<sup id="cite_ref-2">[3]</sup>
Systems that send mail must be capable of handling outgoing mail for all valid addresses. Contrary to the relevant standards, some defective systems treat certain
legitimate addresses as invalid and fail to handle mail to these addresses. Hotmail, for example, refuses to send mail to any address containing any of the following standards-permissible characters:
!#$%*/?^`{|}~
Domain part
The domain name part of an email address has to conform to strict guidelines: it must match the requirements for a
hostname,
consisting of letters, digits, hyphens and dots. In addition, the domain part may be an
IP address
literal, surrounded by square braces, such as jsmith@[192.168.2.1], although this is rarely seen except
in email spam.
Examples
Valid email addresses
<tt>[email protected]</tt>
<tt>[email protected]</tt>
<tt>[email protected]</tt>
<tt>much."more\ unusual"@example.com</tt>
<tt>very.unusual."@"[email protected]</tt>
<tt>very."(),:;<>[]".VERY."very@\\\ \"very"[email protected]</tt>
Invalid email addresses
<tt>Abc.example.com</tt> (an @ character must separate the local and domain parts)
<tt>[email protected]</tt> (character dot(.) is last in local part)
<tt>[email protected]</tt> (character dot(.) is double)
<tt>A@b@[email protected]</tt> (only one @ is allowed outside quotation marks)
<tt>a"b(c)d,e:f;g<h>i[j\k][email protected]</tt> (none of the special characters in this local part
is allowed outside quotation marks)
<tt>just"not"[email protected]</tt> (quoted strings must be dot separated, or the only element making
up the local-part)
<tt>this is"not\[email protected]</tt> (spaces, quotes, and backslashes may only exist when within
quoted strings and preceded by a slash)
<tt>this\ still\"not\\[email protected]</tt> (even if escaped (preceded by a backslash), spaces, quotes,
and backslashes must still be contained by quotes)

How do you host a domain and several email addresses from that domain with OS X Server?
Right now I have a domain name through GoDaddy.com and one email address to that domain...we will have about 5-8 in total...How do I setup OS X Server to host our own domain (without using GoDaddy) and setup our own mail server?
There are several steps that you would need to do.
Set up OS X Server with mail services and users. Also, you may have to have your OS X mail server relay messages through your ISP so you can email people at other domains.
Set up firewall/router to forward IMAP/POP and SMTP ports from your external IP address to your server (which is either in the DMZ of the firewall or on LAN).
Set up DNS records so your domain name points to your server (and if you do not have a static IP address, you will need to set up dynamic DNS). At a minimum you will need 2 DNS records: an A (or AAAA for IPv6) record for the server (I think it can be the root of the zone) and a MX (mail exchange) record.
If everything is set up correctly, you should have a mail server hosting on your domain with your server.
Those would be the major steps you would need to complete. Details on the exact procedure for each of these steps can be found reading the OS X Server documentation, documentation for your router/firewall for port forwarding/NAT, and your specific DNS service. -

Why can't I cut and paste email addresses when sending documents?
Why can't I cut and paste email addresses when sending files? I have to type them in each time...And it doesn't remember them for the future, as SendNow did.
Also, it seems that the message I type in is not kept, as it was with SendNow?
Thanks!Hi drlaura,
You're correct on both counts--these features work differently Adobe Send than they do in Adobe SendNow.
If you're sending files from Adobe Reader, you can access your local Address Book, which should make entering email addresses easier. Please see: I’m trying to send a file from Adobe Reader, but I can’t access my computer’s address book to find my contacts. Why not?
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,

I have created an Apple ID for my daughter with her own gmail address as the primary email 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 right?
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?
thanksYou 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. -
I have two apple ID's but cannot remember the security question answers and the email address is no longer active - how can I access this account as it seems to be the one my icloud space is attached to. I haven't backed up my ipad or photos for a while.

I've had an Apple ID under an old email address. I have a new Apple ID under my current email. Is there a way to link or merge the two together? I don't remember the old password and that email address is no longer active. If I cannot link or merge the two, how can I activate the old ID on the new computer if that email account is no longer active?? Any advice would be great. Thanks in advance!!
You cannot merge accounts.
You need to sign into the old account on your computer.

Why can I not drag-and-drop email addresses into Address Book?
I've used today the email client and the email address autocompletion feature figured out nicely the email addresses of the recipients I wanted to send the email to. So far so good. However, when I've selected all addresses in the To line, I would have liked to be able to drag-and-drop them into the Address Book application, automatically have new entries created there and why not a new group too?
No, that is not possible. However, [Mail Scripts|http://homepage.mac.com/aamann/Mail_Scripts.html] has a script to add every address to the address book, allowing you to pick which ones go to which group and to add a new group, if you want.

Is there a way to fix the change in copy and pasting email addresses?
In the past, whenever I've copied and pasted email addresses, for example, copying the email address from one email into a form field on a Web page, Address Book, or even the search field in Mail, only the email address would get pasted in. Now, since I've upgraded to Snow Leopard, it seems, the name and email address is getting pasted in like this: "NYTimes.com" <[email protected]>.
It seems when pasted into the search field like this, even Mail has trouble finding other emails with the same address, which is often what I use it for. Is there a settings fix for this or am I just going crazy?
Thanks,
BobI found it in Mac tips
Thankfully, Apple included a hidden preference to revert to the 10.5 behavior of copying only the e-mail address. Quit Mail if it’s running, then enter this command in Terminal (in Applications -> Utilities):
defaults write com.apple.mail AddressesIncludeNameOnPasteboard -bool NO
Restart Mail, and Copy Address will once again do just what it says, which is the preferred behavior for my use of Mail. If you try this and decided you prefer the default version, quit Mail and run this command in Terminal:
defaults delete com.apple.mail AddressesIncludeNameOnPasteboard
Thanks to the fine folks at ecamm network for digging this one out and writing about it on their blog. -
I want to change my primary e-mail address that I use with Apple ID - help guide says Select Edit next to “Apple ID and Primary Email Address.” But there is no 'edit' on that section there is on every other but not that one. Can anyone help?
You can create an alias @icloud.com email address within your current account that will receive email in your current iCloud inbox (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a490a). (@me.com addresses are no longer available as new addresses.) Just be aware that you cannot use an alias address later to create a new iCloud account or move it to a different account.
Also, even if you created a new iCloud account with a new ID, your existing purchases would not be lost. They are permanently tied to the original ID you used to purchase them. You can also continue to use the existing ID for the iTunes store; it does not need to be the same as the ID you use for iCloud. -
Why I can't change on the settings ,I cloud ,advanced l, mail and then email address there I can't change ? Help please?
You can't change that address by design, but Apple allows you to create another two addresses and use instead they call those aliases and you can create and use those different for different people with the same account. Instructions here
