Using MSN email address thru Mac mail

Is there a way to use our msn email addresses ([email protected]) thru the Mac Mail? I called our ISP and they said I could only access it through hotmail - but I would prefer to use Mac Mail. The ISP was unable to tell me an account type etc to set it up. Thanks for any help!

Hi Kelly-
If you're paying for the premium MSN/Hotmail mail account, this is possible.
You'll probably need to install a plug in for Mail, to be able to use the HTTP settings that MSN/Hotmail uses (it's really designed for Web-Only access, or Windows OutlookExpress...but the plug in gets it working with your mac).
Not repsonsible for problems, but I did get this working on my Mini.

PS-It may not work if you're only getting Free MSN mail account

In Gmail I can setup other accounts to "send" email from- can I use these other addresses in Mac Mail

In Gmail if you click the 'cog' button under your username you can choose "Settings" from the drop down menu. From Settings you choose the accounts and import tab and can enter other email addresses. This is useful to me because I have an email address [email protected] and while foobar.com host a server, the is no actual mail server but it can forward emails to aliases on that domain to some other another email address setup by admin.
When I compose a message in Gmail in the browser I can choose [email protected] or [email protected] as my send address. I almost exclusively use my gmail account through Mac Mail on my MBP as an IMAP account.
My question is, can I set up Mac mail in some way to send an email from the gmail server but using the alastair@foobar alias(es) as the send address?

Problems adding a new email address to .mac mail account

I'm trying to set up a second email address on my new .mac mail account and I'm stuck. What would be the account description/type/ingoing server/outgoing server for a new account. I've read the directions on mail help to no avail. Also, suddenly my "saved email" option on the left vertical bar is gone. I assume it's because the box got too full (i really liked it . Does anyone know how to access/empty/make it reappear as a mail function ?
Thanks for your time.

Yes, I am a new .mac subscriber. I have a main mac address: [email protected] and then have my old aol address ( [email protected]) mail 'shunted ?' into my new mac address.
My partner now needs an email address for his own online banking account. I'm looking for the easiest way to do this under my mac account.
Saved email folder was an option on the vertical pane under "Inbox" "Sent Mail" "Junk Mail." I used it to store important incoming emails.
Thanks so much for your time,

Can I use .msn email address on iMAC?

Still have an old msn email account that I use for some business - Now that my PC has crashed again - I know I can download messenger, but I just want to be able to get a hold of the msn email account to check emails. Mostly use my .mac but still need to get into msn.
Any suggestions?

To Apple Discussions!
I do not use Hotmail. However, I was able to go the MSN site to register for Hotmail.
Are you saying you are having problems getting into the Hotmail website? I'm having problems understanding exactly what your problem is. Sorry.
Have you checked out the Contacting Hotmail website?

Can anyone tell me how to move my email addresses from Mac Mail to Thunderbird

Hi all.
I've been having so many problems with Mac Mail that I decided to give Thunderbird v17 a go. It automatically imported my emails and account settings but hasn't imported my email addresses. I know they'll automatically be added as and when I reply to incoming emails but I assumed there would be some way of adding my existing contacts in one go. Searched the net for a solution but came up empty-handed. Any help you can give me will be much appreciated.

PRESS AND HOLD THE IMAGE IN THE EMAIL UNTIL THE OPTION TO 'SAVE IMAGE' APPEARS THEN TAP ON THAT.
See how annoying really large text is? Don't do that next time.

simply telling us you can't access your email really tells us nothing. more details please.

I have 2 email addresses (1 mac.and 1 blueyonder.) each with separate identities and passwords. I am forever getting asked to verify identity and/or passwords and having these refused and me then having to set up new ones. Can I combine my email addresses to a single Apple Identity and Password? If yes then How?
Any help much appreciated as this is driving me crazy!

Depending on what you're asking...
There is no means to merge Apple IDs. You can change the mail address assocaited with your Apple ID, so you might switch to using and purchasing from one email address, and using the second as a backup. (There's no means to merge the purchases, and related baggage.)
While I'm guessing this was about Apple IDs, for completeness... Combining the mail messages involving multiple email addresses is separate from the Apple ID; that is usually done with some combination of notifying the senders or with the forwarding of messages from one mail server to the preferred server. Or running multiple mail accounts in parallel, depending on what you are up to.

How can I export email addresses from apple mail?

How can I export email addresses from Apple Mail?
Just to be CRISTAL CLEAR please don't reply with export instructions from the address book.....not interested in this.
I have customers that fill-out a request form online, then the data is sent to our database on our server, and another copy is sent to my email account. The server database got corrupted and is now lost. The only data left are in my email app called APPLE MAIL. I have created Filtered Folders so the data is just in one Folder, not mixed with all other emails. Is there a way to export the email names & addresses from APPLE MAIL to a CVS file or Excel file?
Again this is not a question related to Apple Address Book. This is ONLY for Apple MAIL exporting!
Thanks

There is a collection of AppleScripts called Mail Scripts you can download at this link.
http://homepage.mac.com/aamann/Mail_Scripts.html
The script to use from the collection of scripts is Add Addresses (Mail) which adds addresses found in the selected messages (in the header fields "From", "To", "Cc", and "Bcc") to the Address Book. This is much more flexible than the "Add Sender to Address Book" available in Mail and provides a convenient way for creating mailing lists.

I have an msn email address and my inbox deletes my emails

I have an msn email address, and on my iPhone and iPad they just start disappearing from my inbox,
and they do not go into my deleted folder. I do not want to switch email address's is there anything i can do?

I'm not familiar with the MSN mail settings, but are they similar to Exchange accounts where it allows you to only sync a certain number of days mail to the mobile device? Could it be that the mail is still accessible via the desktop, but not the mobile? With my work Exchange account, I can set on the iPhone to only sync a certain amount of mail so it does not use too much space on the phone and makes it easier for me to view mail in the inbox.

The outgoing mail server is rejecting mail from your network address. Typically that happens when your mail service provider is also your ISP, and you connect to it from another network. The SMTP server will allow connections without a password from anywhere, but it will only relay mail from within the ISP's network. It could also be that your account on the server has expired or been suspended.
If you need to send mail from outside your ISP's network, use an independent mail service provider. I don't have a specific recommendation.

Someone is using my email address and sending virus emails how can I stop this happening?

Someone has hijacked my address book and is sending virus infected mail using my email address to other people in my address book. How do I get rid of this hacker from my Mac, and how do I prevent this happening again.

Your mail account has almost certainly been hacked on the server, not on your computer, unless someone has had access to the latter.
Log in to the mail server's web interface and change the password. If you use the same password for any other accounts, change those passwords too, and make them all different. Internet passwords should be random strings of at least 10 characters. You most likely don't need to, and should not be able to, remember them. They should be saved in your keychain and backed up with the rest of your data.
One way to generate a secure password is the following. Triple-click anywhere the line below to select it:
openssl rand -base64 10 | cut -c-14 | open -f -a TextEdit
Copy the selected line to the clipboard (command-C). Launch the Terminal application and paste into the window that opens (command-V). A string of 14 random characters will appear in a TextEdit window. Use that string, or a substring, as the password. To generate another random string, press the up-arrow key and then the return key with the Terminal window active. You can then quit Terminal.
If the compromised account is on Gmail, then changing the password may not be enough. Follow all of Google'sinstructions to secure it.

ICloud alias email address not receiving mail

MacBook Pro, OS X 10.7.5, Firefox 21.0, software current.
When I send an email from my Optonline email account within Mac Mail to an iCloud (recently set up) alias email account, it is not received at the online iCloud site. If I send an email to my primary Mac address, it shows up fine at iCloud email.
When I go to the iCloud site, I can send outgoing emails from all addresses which are received OK back at my MacBook Pro.
Using Safari does not change things.
Why are the emails to the alias address not showing up at iCloud.
Any ideas? Is there some set-up I need to toggle on, on another device (iPhone 4S and iPad Mini)?
Thanks,
Robby

OK I think I have this figured out here. Looks like a case of operator error on this end in the beginning. Sorry for all the detail below, but if it helps anyone I hope it is worth it.
1. Per suggestion of Carolyn Samit elsewhere, I went into Apple>System Preferences>Internet and Wireless>iCloud and deselected Mail and Notes. I then repeated the above, but toggled the Mail and Notes back on.
2. I sent another test message to my iCloud alias address, per the routine set out in the first post above, with a BCC back to me, which immediately appeared in the MacBook Pro Mail Inbox.
3. I left the Sent message in the Sent folder, and the BCC in the Inbox.
4. I then signed into iCloud and opened Mail.
5. Lo and Behold, my test message was in both the Sent folder and the Inbox in iCloud Mail.
Lesson to be learned from the different process I had used earlier -- iCloud mimics exactly what I had previously done on my MacBook Pro (which was not detailed above because it did not seem important at the time). Previously, after sending a test email, I immediately moved the Sent message into a special folder on the MacBook Pro, and also immediately moved the BCC copy in the Inbox into the same special folder in Mac Mail.
iCloud mimic'd these moves, so when I went there in the early stages of this process (after having already moved two emails into special folders on the laptop), there were no emails to be seen at iCloud.
This last time just now, I left the emails in my Inbox and Sent folders at the laptop, and they WERE in the corresponding folders at iCloud.
Now, to toggle off Mail and Notes in Apple System Preferences and see what happens?
Good night . .

Unauthorised use of email address

I keep getting an email from [email protected] Delivery Notification: Delivery has timed out and failed. they are notifications of emails which are not generated by me. They are being sent from other people using my email address.How can i stop my email address being used.
thnx. Rich

That's spam. They are spoofing your email addy as a return address and as the sender. No way to stop it because once the email gets on a mailing list, it is sold all over the world.
I too have the same issue with my .mac email addy. I want to stop receiving only .mac addressed emails from being delivered as they are now 99% spam and nothing useful comes in that mailbox anymore.
Anyone have an idea on how to stop ONLY .mac emails?? but not affect me.com or icloud.com since they are all tied together?
Mike

I have an iPhone 4S and the latest Apple TV, both setup with my email address as the Apple ID. I subscribed to iTunes Match so our music could be played from iCloud. I gave my wife an iPad 3 and set it up using her email address as the Apple ID. When I try to turn on iMatch so she can play our music from iCloud on her new iPad it tells me that she needs a subscription to iTunes Match. Is it Apple's intent that we would need two iTunes Match subscriptions? If not, how do I accomplish what I want to get done?

The problem is that all services are bundled with your Apple ID ([email protected]):
Your iCloud account (Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes, Backups, etc.),
also iTunes & App Store purchases (Music, Movies, TV Shows, etc.),
and the iTunes Match services.
(I guess that all your devices - yours and your wife's are connected to one iTunes library, right?)
If you want that your wife gets her own iCloud account for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, etc. but gets also access to your media then you have two set up two things on her device:
iCloud (Settings > iCloud) with her account (e.g. [email protected])
and
iTunes & App Stores (Settings > iTunes & App Stores) with your account (e.g. [email protected]).
In this case she gets access to your library and could use the same iTunes Match account.
