Use other than iCloud SMTP Server?

Hi fellows,
iCloud is out and it is already starting to aggrevate me. I don' t want others to see my @me.com email adress. Therefore I want to change the SMTP server in my icloud account to an other email provider (gmail). But the iCloud SMTP server does not allow itself to be deactivated. It stays the primary SMTP and the gmail SMTP (which I want to make primary) stays secondary!
I can change the SMTP in the email itself each time I write a new one, but this is very annoying!
Can someone help?
Btw. are you mails being pushed?! Mine do not push at all!
Thanks in advance!
Best Regards,
Phillip

Very weird, it worked with MobileMe in the iOS 5 betas.
But I'm seeing what you're seeing.  Bummer.  I gave up on Apple and have moved my email to Google Apps using their sync.
They ook the ability for me to add my smtp to the web interface with iCloud and now apparently in the phone as well.
My advice, abandon the use of apple services.

  • Hpeprint and iCloud SMTP server

    Why can I not send mails with the icloud SMTP server to my printer using an hpeprint address? The mails are not printed an I get an error message. From all other email SMTP servers I use, it's working perfectly.
    The message I receive from icloud looks like this:
    This report relates to a message you sent with the following header fields:

    This looks like a common problem with icloud as the promlem is also reported on the support forum of hpeprint. Nobody had a solution til now.
    thanks for any useful help

    I can confirm, that it happens on my iPhone as well - using any email provider it works except when using my iCloud account. Strangely, it used to work in the past and I'm just ran into this challenge recently.

  • How to use more than one application server during initial load?

    Hi,
    we plan to use more than one application server in CRM during initial download in order to increase the number of parallel requests and to decrease the time for the initial load. Is there a way to allocate requests to more than one server? Is is possible via multiple rfc connections for consumer CRM in CRMRFCPAR?
    Thanks.

    Hi Naresh,
    thanks for your answer. It has solved my problem. SMLG is the transaction that I was looking for.
    Two more OSS notes that helped me to guide our basis into the right direction:

  • Can port 25 be used for SSL-enable SMTP server ?

    Hi,
    Our customer is using port 25 for a SSL-enabled SMTP server without certificate. When our email client tried to connect to it, the following exception thrown:
    DEBUG SMTP: exception reading response: javax.net.ssl.SSLException: Unrecognized SSL message, plaintext connection?
    Since we don't want to ask our customer to change their port configuration unless absolutely necessary, we did some tests with our own SSL-enabled SMTP server that uses certificate. Here is what I got:
    1) with port 25, got the same exception as above;
    2) with port 465, worked fine;
    3) with any other randomly pick up valid port, worked fine.
    This made me wonder if 25 is for non SSL SMTP server ONLY. By the way, I'm using Javamail 1.3.4 and JSDK 1.4.2_02. My question is whether we can configure javamail so that port 25 can be used by SSL-enabled SMTP server?
    Your help will be appreciated.

    Yes, port 25 is intended for non-SSL servers only, although that doesn't
    prevent a client from making a plain text connection and then using the
    STARTTLS command to switch the connection to SSL/TLS. JavaMail 1.4
    supports that usage.
    You can configure JavaMail to use port 25 for SSL connections if you
    really want to. JavaMail 1.3.x requires you configure an appropriate
    socket factory to get SSL connections; you can configure whatever port
    you want for use with that socket factory.

  • What are the options other than iCloud for a "full" iPone backup?

    With iCloud you have limited options to increase the size of the capacity for backups:
    5gb - Free
    20gb - .99/month
    200gb - 3.99/month
    500gb - 9.99/moth
    1TB - 19.99/month
    With such a big gap between 20gb and 200gb, I am looking for feedback on other cloud options other than iCloud that will backup everything on my new iPhone 6.
    Thank you

    Managing the backup of your phone starts with knowing what is backed up, what is NOT, backed up and how to manage your data/phone content.
    What is NOT backed up to icloud:
    Apps, music, and any other iTunes purchase.  
    What IS backed up to icloud:
    your personal information, settings and data
    if you open settings, icloud, storage, manage storage, show all apps.
    this shows your app data amounts in decending order.   You can turn off backup for any app that doesn't need iCloud backup.  For example, I use Dropbox which auto uploads all my photo and video when I connect to home wifi, so I do not backup camera roll, so I turn the switch off.  I do backup data from other apps, but not all of them.
    I backup an iPad and iPod touch to the same iCloud account with the 5 free GBS and have not needed more than that.

  • More than 1 smtp server for out going mail

    I am working off-site and need to send email from my Mail accounts. I am also connecting wireless. I can receive mail but cannot send.
    Can I have more than one smtp server for an account?
    Or do I need a separate account for this situation?

    i had the same problem, i changed port# from 25 to 587, i think it was, & sent e again,it won't send it so i change back to 25 & send then it worked. In mail under help on menu bar it said i.s.p's sometimes shut down port 25 for junk mail reason's,so it could be temporary.

  • Mail loosing iCloud SMTP server name

    Recently I have found that when I go to create a new email I cannot send it as the Mail application does not have the SMTP server assigned to my iCloud account.  Then when I try to choose one from my existing list, iCloud is greyed out and showing as offline.
    I have to then go into Mail>Preferences>Accounts then highlight my iCloud account and pick the iCloud SMTP server, then Save this amendment.  I can then create a new email and its configured to work OK.
    Anyone else have this issue or offer a suggestion?
    Running 10.8.3. Thx.

    Anyone else having this issue?  It's still going on for me.  It only happend to me since the update to 10.8.3.

  • Calendar information other than iCloud is not showing in Notification center from Mails such as Gmail, Exchange, Yahoo

    Hi,
    After iOS 6 update on iPhone 4S I'm unable to see any information on Notification Center regarding any calendar information from mail boxes such as Gmail, Yahoo, Exchange server etc. But, calendar information is available only from iCloud mail box.
    Please help me to get the calendar information in Notification center from mail boxes other than iCloud too.

    Read thier own support document on the subject then
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1795
    This document was written as an answer to all those who complained about it as paying MobileMe users
    They ignored us then and when MobileMe became iCloud they ignored us again, and just carried on with a system that will not update the e-mail read status across all devices
    That's how it works,   and like you 1000's of loyal Apple users cant believe it either but there you go

  • How do i use my fingerprin​t for uses other than login? (email, web forums, etc)

    I was wondering, is there a way to use your fingerprint in place of a password for other uses other than logging into windows?  Some uses would be internet email {specifically gmail), logging into web forums (like this one).  Maybe (this is probably hopeful thinking)  configure your fingerprint to includepersonal data when filling out forums such as address, DOB, phone number, etc.  I will be using Firefox almost exclusively, but if theres a solution for IE i'll listen too.

    ThinkVantage Client Security Solution includes Password Manager which is close to what you are after I think.  It works with IE, Firefox and standard application dialogs too.

  • I have an IPod touch 4 gen. And I'm having problems with the audio when I use other than Apple brand earphones

    I have an Ipod Touch 4 gen. and I'm having problems with audio when I use other than Apple brand earphones. I'm talking about music only so far, when I use apple earphones all is fine, but if I use other type of phones ( sony for exemple ) I can only hear the music and the background but not the lead singer voice, can anybody explain this to me? thank you.

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    - If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • HT4864 can I use the icloud smtp server as the outgoing server for all my other imap accounts?

    I have several imap accounts. I want to send all my messages using the icloud server. I put the icloud server as the smtp server for each account but mail is not able to send the messages. The configuration is correct for the smtp iclous server, I checked.
    Is there anything I'm missing?
    Fausto

    The only thing you're missing is that you can't do that.  You have to use the correct smtp server for the mail accounts.  Email providers generally don't like sending some other company's mail.    If you want to send from the icloud servers, use your icloud account when composing.

  • Possible to shut off iCloud SMTP Server on iPhone?

    Is it possible to use my own smtp server on my icloud account on my iphone.  Really starting to annoy me that I can't figure out how to disable the primary server and use my own.  Thanks!

    Go to Settings > Mail, Calendars and Contacts > iCloud > Account > Mail > SMTP. There you can add additional SMTP servers and disable the iCloud server. I don't know how well that will work, though, since I haven't actually tried it.

  • ICloud smtp server authentication.

    The IMAP server authentication works fine in Outlook 2010.
    Will not accept the same password for the SMTP server.
    Can anyone help?

    I have the same problem.
    Iam using Outlook 2007 and the icloud control panel. Everything works great also the calender and contact sync runs great, but I can't send any Mails. I heard that there might be a problem with the password. So your password must have at least one capital letter and number. My Passwort has both and also an aditional letter.
    Maybe some has an answer for our problem?
