Use my own domain for email on iphone 3GS

Hi,
Is it possible to use my own domain name for my email on the iphone 3GS?
Any help would be great, thanks

If you already have such an email domain working on a computer you should be able to configure the iPhone to use it. It can be a bit tricky if you must be connected to your home cable or other specific network to send email, but that can be done, too.

  • Using my own domain with iCloud email

    I've had my own domain and email address for over a decade, and it's lasted me through a number of providers. Is there any reasonable way to use it with iCloud? It seems like iCloud is tied to a new .me email address, and it's not like I'm going to change my everyday email address to use it.

    Hi,
    I have found away that I think may help you.
    Background as to why I use it. I have a @me.com address and Gmail but my contacts only know my Gmail account but I wanted to use cloud email so it would sync properly across all my devices, MBP, iPad and iPhone and also have the push email that the previous Mobile Me had and iCloud has now
    So what I have done on my MBP is this. I use Mail.
    You need to go into system preferences and select iCloud...in here turn off Mail and Notes.
    Now open Mail and select preferences. Then select accounts. Delete all accounts there.
    Now set up a new account by pressing the + button. After that enter the details as if you were setting up to use your Me.com account and press CREATE.
    You now go to a page where you can edit all your mail settings manually. In the first section of the page you have:
    Account Type - This should say -  iCloud IMAP
    Description - This can be described by you to be anything
    Email Address - This is the email address you want people recieving the email to see
    Full Name - As it says put your name
    Incoming Mail Server - If you want the mails to come from iCloud then use: p99-imap.mail.me.com
    User Name: The user name of the icloud
    Password: the password of icloud
    **Note** In this section you are putting in where you want the mails to come from. In this case I wanted the mails to come from iCloud so I forwarded all my mails from my Gmail account to my @me.com address, and then got iCloud to deliver them.
    Outgoing Mail Server: Now this is the interesting part. I have changed this to the GMAIL server on my Gmail account. I have done this as I want my mails saved also at my Gmail account so by routing them through Gmail this happens as well as recording the sent mails at iCloud.
    On iPhone and iPad you just add iCloud and then turn off mail again. Now you set up a mail account using the other option.
    1. IMAP Account Information - In here i put the information that i want my contacts to see
    2. Incoming Mail Server - I put the iCloud information
    3. Outgoing Mail Server - I put the Gmail server
    So in short now, i get complete syncing of my mails across my 3 iDevices and have the extra back up of iCloud, but my clients do not see my @me.com (iCloud) email address, they see my Gmail address that I have been using for many years so there is no confusion for them.
    I really hope you get all of that, this is the first time I have helped on here so am very much a newbie but it seems to be working for me.

  • We love apple email, but it does not play wall with other venders when you want to use your own domain (lags, disconnections, etc.)?   What vendor should we use to make it push and work well?  We want to stay with Apple Mail.

    Help, our AppleMail does not play well with other Vendord to use our own domain.   iCloud mail works great, but so far others we have tried lag, disconnec, etc. not nearly as good as icloud mail.   Should we try exchange or office 365 plans with Apple Mail/  a lot more expensive?

    Microsoft Exchange is the best business solution, Office 365 will give a hosted version that works well, as you noted it is not the cheapest. You should also look at Zimbra, an excellent service.

  • Using my own domain

    Hi,
    I have my own domain for personal purposes. All email to my own domain email account forward to my @btinternet.com mail address, when I was using BT webmail through Yahoo I could send and receive emails using my own domain email address but with new BT webmail I can only send using my @btinternet.com address with a reply-to of my domain.
    Is there any way I can get the old functionality back?
    Thanks

    I do exactly the same as you, only the other way round. I forward residual mail from my BT accounts to my domain mail, and use my domain mail as my main email account (and I access that not via webmail but by downloading to my desktop with pop3/smtp and an email client - MSOutlook). If you use mobile devices then you may prefer to use either IMAP or pop3 with mails left on the server.
    ISPs are not committed to email, and several of the mass market ISPs like BT, have recently got into the habit of shifting providers, and it generally isn't good news for customers. Sky had a bad time moving customers TO Yahoo email, and BT are having a difficult time moving customers AWAY from Yahoo to OpenWave, and Virgin Media ported all their email to Gmail.
    liquorice is right - it's easier to be in control by paying the very small amount of money required for a domain name and a few email boxes then setting up your ISP and any other email addresses to forward TO the domain mailbox.
    If/when I am migrated from BTYahoo to BTMail, I will simply set up the forwarding again on the new BTMail interface, root out who is still sending me mail on my BT addresses and try and get them to stop, and then hopefully forget about BTMail completely.
    BT will be delighted, as it will save them money, save them support costs and save them bandwidth.

  • I am trying to retrieve music that I had from an iPad to my iTunes account. I'm using the same computer for synching my iPhone.  I'm logged into my iPad account, but can't retrieve music. It only recognizes my iPhone.

    I am trying to retrieve music that I had from an iPad to my iTunes account. I'm using the same computer for synching my iPhone.  I'm logged into my iPad account, but can't retrieve music. It only recognizes my iPhone.  Does anyone know how I can get my music?  I know longer own the iPad so I don't have access to it, but I don't think that should be a problem.

    So you had music on the iPad that is not in iTunes and you no longer have the iPad. Is that what you are saying? If that is what you are saying, iTunes won't "recognize" anything that was on the iPad, that was not purchased from iTunes. If the music was purchased from iTunes, you should probably be able to download it again for free as long as you are using the same Apple ID that you bought it with. Did you try downloading the music again?
    Am I understanding what it is that you want to do? If I am understanding you correctly, you will find this to be useful.

    I admit that I'm a little confused by your remark about being logged into your iPad account. You should be logged into your iTunes account.

  • Using your own domain name on your Verizon personal website

    If you go to the Verizon Site-Builder page and then click FAQ, you read this for #13:

  • If I use my own domain with mobileme, does it work with google search?

    I've noticed something, I used to only access my page with web.me.com/NAME and it shows up relatively at the top of of the google search results when I search for NAME or things related to me.
    Since then I have started using my own domain which I have bought from godaddy.com. Now I'm not sure if I am doing it right, but at godaddy, I setup this forward to web.me.com/NAME as a 301 site move. When I type in my own domain, it gets redirected ok but the problem is it never shows up in google. It doesn't show up if i search for "mydomainname" or "mydomainname.com" or anything.
    Any ideas? Does forwarding (cloak) does not work with search engines?

    You are referring to IP addresses and Nameservers. You DON'T need these if you are using CNAME forwarding. They are not required.
    Normally, when you set up CNAME forwarding you would delete the A record and set-up CNAME in its place. At least this is what I had to do when I used CNAME forwarding with MobileMe. I went to my DNS settings and there were A records against both @ and www. I had to delete both of these and set up new records, one for @ with CNAME that pointed to web.me.com and then the other for www, CNAME that also pointed to web.me.com.
    What you have done sounds right, in that your domain name is pointing to web.me.com that is where your new website is with iWeb/MobileMe.
    I think your problem is due to your old website that you created with Microsoft Office Live. You seem to have used the same domain name with this? If so, have you deleted your old site that you created with Microsoft Office Live?
    I don't quite know how Microsoft Office Live works, but I know that you can create a site with them quite quickly using their templates and colour themes, although it is limited as to what you can do and probably is not as good as iWeb. Did you register the domain name through them and then publish? How do you publish to their server? You need to remove this site totally from the server so that your domain name will just be linked to your iWeb/MobileMe site.
    I think the problem lies with your old site and Microsoft Office Live rather than your CNAME settings at GoDaddy. Investigate this first.

  • How do I download the music from iTunes onto an old iPhone 3gs? I have reset the iPhone to factory settings and when I plug it in it wants to use the device name for my current iPhone 5 and I don't want to change anything on my old iPhone.

    How do I download the music from iTunes onto an old iPhone 3gs without affecting my iPhone 5? I have reset the iPhone to factory settings and when I plug it in it wants to use the device name for my current iPhone 5 and I don't want to change anything on my current iPhone. iTunes won't let me change the device name for the 3gs. I just want to use the old iPhone like an touch.

    Hi littlemansa,
    If I am understanding you correctly, it sounds like you are returning to an old iPhone that has been erased and you would like to set it up as a new device without restoring from a backup which would affect the name of your iPhone, as well as the contents therein. I have an article for you that can help you set up your iPhone as a new device, and that information can be found below:
    How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT4137
    Basically, it seems like you may be stuck on a screen that is asking if you would like to restore your device from the backup that is filed under the name of your new iPhone, or if you would like to set up the device as a new device. I would suggest that you set it up as a new device to achieve your desired results. 
    Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

  • Official solution for unlocking for an old iPhone 3GS

    Last summer, I purchased an iPhone 3GS together with a 2-year contract with Swisscom, one of the mobile telephone operators in Switzerland. A few weeks ago, my phone was stolen while I was on a trip. I contacted Swisscom and informed them that the phone had been stolen. They deactivated the old SIM card, and sent me a replacement SIM card. I reported the theft to the police too. My understanding is that the IMEI number of my old iPhone will be added to a blacklist so that it cannot be used on any mobile telephone networks anymore.
    My father, who lives in Texas, recently upgraded from an iPhone 3GS to an iPhone 4. He extended his original contract with AT&T and simply moved his number over to the new phone. Because he no longer had a need for his old iPhone 3GS, he agreed to send it to me. At my suggestion, he went first to the Apple Store in Austin and requested that they unlock the phone. The folks at the Apple Store informed him that they could not unlock it. They suggested that Apple or the mobile carrier in Switzerland could unlock the phone.
    My father shipped his old iPhone 3GS to me, and I received it yesterday. This morning, I went to the Apple Store in Zürich and asked if they could unlock the phone so that I could use it with my Swisscom SIM card—the one Swisscom sent me to replace the one in my stolen iPhone. They told me that they could not do this, and that only the original carrier, AT&T could unlock the phone.
    What is the official solution for unlocking an old iPhone 3GS?
    I have posted this question to the AT&T discussion forum also.

    Does Apple have a recommendation?
    Read my post. There is nothing that Apple can do for you. The decision as to whether to unlock your phone or not rests entirely with AT&T, & they will not do so under any circumstances.
    I read your post, and appreciate your having taken the time to write it. However, I would like to get an official reply from someone at Apple.
    Apple is a company that prides itself on its commitment to the highest standards of environmental stewardship.

    Apple’s partner AT&T is also committed to being a good corporate citizen and protecting the natural environment.

    Re-using old products to extend their useable lifetimes is one of the most effective ways of reducing the impact we have on the environment. When my phone was stolen, it seemed like a perfect opportunity to put this philosophy into action, using my dad’s old phone to use instead of just throwing it away, or leaving it on a shelf to be discarded later.
    I think it would be a shame if there were no officially sanctioned way to put an old device to good use.
