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.

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.

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 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:
13. Can I use my own domain name? Answer: If you own a domain name and would like to use it as the main address of your site, you will need to make arrangements with your domain name provider to redirect visitors to your Verizon Online mysite.verizon.net address from your current domain name.
Verizon Online does not currently offer personalized domain name registration, but we are working on providing this option to you in the near future. Updates will be provided on the Site Builder home page, so check back often.
The above statement has been listed for quite some time. Does anyone know whether this option is now available? (There's no updated statement about it on the Site Builder home page, and there is no one to ask!)

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 use my own domain name with Mac server with iWeb

For a number of years I have had my own domain name that when typed into a browser it would redirect the browser to my site on the .Mac server. I hear with iLife ’08 I can have my own domain name hosted by .Mac so I know longer have to have the long addresses for each pages the I have now for my site (i.e. the http://web.mac.com/thewildhearts/WildheartPhotography/NatureGalleries.html). How do I go about getting my domain name (wildheartphotography.com) so that Mac will host it and do I need to notify the current host that Mac will be hosting my site now?
Thanks. I really appreciate the help I get from this forum.
Pat

It's very easy, really. You go to your domain control and redirect the address. IPower, for example points the domain name very easily: you just type in the URL of your site and it will point to your mac server.
I've used GoDaddy before and it is a bit more difficult to "point".

Can I send email using my own domain address with iCloud the way I can with gmail?

Let's say I own mydomain.com and have a [email protected] email account. I have set that up to forward to gmail, and that would be easy to switch to iCloud. Here's the tricky part: gmail allows me to send email as [email protected] I've been doing this for years and it works, but I'd like to switch from gmail to iCloud. Can I set up this same behavior with an iCloud @me.com address (which I already have but haven't been using yet)? I know I can obviously switch the forwarding of incoming mail to my @me.com address... but can I send [email protected] email through iCloud the way I can with gmail? All of my devices are Apple: a Mac Mini using Apple's Mail app, and an iPhone and an iPad both using the Apple email app, so I'd rather switch everything over from gmail to iCloud.
P.S. Awe, c'mon Apple. Don't turn those fake addresses into links. I just used them for the sake of giving an example.

Ah, I should have made that clear. My domain didn't come from google. It was purchased at and is hosted at dreamhost, but I haven't used their email servers in years - I just route everything through gmail. I actually have a bunch of domains (with websites).
Gmail has an option that lets someone with custom domains send (and receive) email through gmail using the custom domain once Google confirms proper ownership of the domain (to prevent spammers and such). Gmail has a setting for "send email as" which allows gmail to be sent using a custom domain as the sender. I'm pretty sure Apple's old mobileme had this feature too, but I didn't use it.

HT4436 Can I use my own domain name as my iCloud email address?

Recently downsized to a one person office and now thinking of dumping my outdated Exchange server and using iCloud. I want to continue using my private domain though. Is this possible?

I seem to have made this work on my Mac, although I can't make it send from my domain on my iPhone or iPad.
Set up your iCloud account as normal
Use your personal domain email address as a custom setting
Use a gmail account as the outgoing server (iCloud won't send using any other domains, but gmail will)
(Remember to make sure your personal domain is set up to use iCloud / MobileMe / .Mac)
When you send email ignore the fact that the sending address appears to be iCloud. If doesn't seem to come out that way because of the alias you have set (your own domain).
You should be able to receive email sent to your domain in iCloud, and send using it too. iCloud provides a service in the background.

Using my own domain name

I'm thinking of changing my broadband to BT infinity.
This a warning I'm consistently getting from others...
"If you're looking to move to BT I'd strongly recommend you get e-mailed confirmation that the service they provide will allow you to send e-mail out from your own domain name, as many of the consumer BT packages don't allow this, forcing you to use a BT based address. Clearly not suitable considering you have your own domain etc."
Can anyone confirm that using another providers SMTP is permitted, and will work?

Hi. Welcome to the forums.
Not sure where you got that warning from, as in general it's not true.
The only thing that is true, is that ISPs typically prevent access to their smtp servers when not connected to the ISP, and if using a non ISP email address - that needs extra steps to be able to send using the ISP smarthosts (e.g. mail.btinternet.com).
"Home ISPs" are different to specialist domain sellers.
I use BTinternet and my own smtp server name for my domain without any issues.
It actually depends how your domain name has been set up and whether it's just a name, and not specifically using any associated smtp server.
In this case, you need to go through something called address verification (with BTinternet) and associate a domain email address with the BTinternet email address (e.g. see my shortcuts - link below - option 0e).
You typically can't use mail.yourdomain etc as the smtp server, unless that's been specified as part of your domain package - usually at extra cost as you would be using the domain seller's servers.

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.
—Andreas

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.

How to use my own domain and integrate to my Muse Website

Hello guys, how are you doing?
First of all, i'm sorry for my english, i hope you understand my words and my questions lol
Well, i just created my website using Adobe Muse, then, using my 30 trial days, created my blog with Adobe Business Catalyst.
On my website, i created a page called Blog and used a Widget by MuseGrid, but now i need to link my Blog to my MuseWebsite.
I also have my own Domain. For example, my domain is www.vittafilms.com, so, when i click in the button Blog, i want it linked directly to my BC blog, but like www.vittafilms.com/blog
How can i do it? I hope you understand guys,
Cheers,

Using your own Domain Name

This is what I have as my url now...
http://web.me.com/seanfahey/Black_JackPress/Welcome.html
I'm trying to put in my own domain name that I purchased from GoDaddy.com. Please help!
Much appreciated.

You need to enter your domain name into your MobileMe account first - log in under System Preferences and then go to the Personal Domain name settings and enter your domain name in here.
Then go to the DNS settings at GoDaddy and set up a new CNAME with your alias as your domain name - 'www' that is then forwarded to web.me.com which is your host.

What is the point in this "BScatalyst" if can not use your own domain name?!

the marketing of adobe BScatalyst is a enigma for me. What is it? when you can´t use your domain name?!

I think you need to do a lot of research and a lot of reading.
The point is: adobe has NOTHING TO OFFER besides the software (muse) for
developing a site.
Sorry to repeat this a lot but your not correct here as well.
Muse came recently and is a simple tool to help get people into making sites from the graphics and design industry basically. BC Has a full template, layout and code system:
http://docs.businesscatalyst.com/dev-assets/reference#!/module-reference/photo-galleries/m odule_photogallery.html
It has API Access, it can be developed using any coding software from Dreamweaver to Coda 2. This for many is the primary method of creating BC websites and has been for years, even before Adobe purchased the BC company.
It is always being updated as you can see with the new rendering engine and liquid markup:
http://www.businesscatalyst.com/bc-blog
The point is the CC atracts amatures, like my self, to devope sites, but
they have NOTHING to offer on the hosting side of the work.
Sorry, but none of this is correct. CC is a service created by Adobe to take all its software into the cloud, it is not just there to develop sites. In terms of storing your work in the cloud that is one of its primary functions. Ignoring BC and websites you can store your files, PSD's through your Creative Cloud account.
Your post was put under moderation automatically by the forum software because how you posted it. The caps will do it.
everything above here are without ANY interest for the common amateur muse developer. Why do you think we use muse?!
I communicate, I read and know a lot of Muse developers, Again your not correct here as well. Sorry for repeating this but this again simply not true and pretty much everything you have said so far is that.
A lot of Muse users develop very nice looking but basic in function websites, there are a lot who would like to do more such as eCommerce etc, you are not the norm in your thinking off what everything is from CC, BC and the web.
CMS me here, SAAS me there, and business analysis me over again. IT IS OF NO INTEREST FOR US MILLIONS OF MUSE USERS!
Again, this is not true. Most of the posts I see from Muse users is how they do more with BC and many want and ask how to upgrade their CC BC to offer more features. The Creative Cloud version of BC is the VERY BASIC version of it, it does not have most of the abilities it has if you have one of the higher plans.
See here:
US Yearly Pricing | Adobe Business Catalyst
A complementary product to Muse is HOSTING!
Creative Cloud is Adobe moving into the Cloud space for their products and services, Muse is an entry level designer based peace of software to create basic websites. Business Catalayst is what you do not want to research into and hosting is just storage basically.
Adobe Business Catalyst
In terms of your website, people make sites just for family etc and put them on the web, Real domain or not you can build a site for what ever you want. But its a website and will be out there on the web. Search engines like google will index such sites so if you do not want them out there on the internet do not create them to make them available.
I do not mean to be rude, but your comments are not valid and going no where. You not really understanding what anything is, your complaining about things are not true or things that you think do not exist when they do.
I have been developing sites on the Business Catalyst platform for over 5 years and using other coding platforms and other CMS's for longer then that. I am considered one of the people outside BC who know the platform for the most so please trust in what I am saying here.
If you want just hosting just use Creative Cloud or something like dropbox.
If you want to learn more about the web or building sites etc I suggest you go lean, there are many great resources out there.
