Will I still recieve emails from my old email account after creating an iCloud email account on my devices?

After creating an iCloud email will I still recieve emails from my old email account account on my devices?

If the old email account is a non-iCloud email account, then yes. You will continue to receive email from your old account as long as it is still set up in Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars.
However, if the old email account is an iCloud email account, you will have to add it back on your devices in Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud, then sign in with your old iCloud account IC, in order to continue to receive it on your devices. If you do this, the old email will be fetch only, not push.

When I click on the email on a website my Icloud email address is used when I want to use my normal one. It does it automatically. Can this be stopped. Also may icloud emails don't get to the recipient why?

After formatting my HD and eventually restore my system from a backup on Time Capsule, will I still have access to my old backups as normally used to do via Time Machine?

I have a Time Capsule (4th Gen) and my backups on it, I need to completely erase my hard drive. My question is: after formatting my MacBook HD and eventually restore my system (OS X 10.6.8) from a backup on Time Capsule, will I still have access to my old* backups as normally used to do via Time Machine?
*(-and to the newer backups- if I had not restored my system from the last backup).
THANKS

That's a good question. Technically, Time Machine should make a new backup but not erase any old backups. But if there isn't sufficient space on the backup drive, then I'm not sure if Time Machine will simply warn you or just go ahead and remove old backups to make room for the new ones.
In any case, the new backup should have a different backup folder on the backup drive. That's my understanding. You can learn more at pondini.org.

HT5621 I recently changed my apple id email from an old one to a new one and now I can't sign out of my old one on my iPhone 5 because it says I need a password. I cannot give that password because it is part of the old apple ID. How do I change IDs?

Hi sharonpalencia,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand it can be very frustrating when you cannot sign in, or sign out in this case, to your Apple ID. In this situation you may need to temporarily edit your Apple ID back to the original email address so that you can sign out. Once signed out, edit the Apple ID back to the new email address and sign in. Please use the attached article for further information.
If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Tap Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
Scroll down and tap Sign Out, then tap Sign Out to confirm. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
Tap Keep on My [Device] or Delete from My [Device]. In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
If you're still asked for your previous Apple ID password, continue to the next step.
Have a great day,
Joe

How do I forward email from my old isp (comcast) to verizon email

I just switched from Comcast to Verizon and need to get my email from my old comcast account. The installer said to use TRUESWITCH.COM but that site is no longer in service. Thanks.

If you're trying to access old emails stored on Comcast's servers, you may be able to do that through their webmail service. This will only work if your Comcast account is still active. If you are able to get into your account, you can forward individual messages to your new Verizon email.
If you're trying to make sure any new email sent to your Comcast account is automatically forwarded to Verizon, again you'll need access to your Comcast account.
Bottom line, if you've cancelled your Comcast account you most likely have lost everything you had stored on their servers. Your best bet is to contact Comcast to find out your options.
Good Luck.

How can I transfer my email accounts and emails from my old macbook pro with ML to my new macbook pro with ML

How can I transfer my email accounts and emails from my old macbook pro with ML to my new macbook pro with ML

Do you have your system backed up to Time Machine? If so, you can open your user Library and copy your Mail folder from Time Machine to your Desktop on your new machine; then copy THAT folder to your new machine's user Library.
To get to your user Library, open Finder and Go and press the Option key. Library will show up. Click on it to get into your user Library. Now go into Time Machine and you should see your user Library for Time Machine. Restore the Mail folder to your Desktop.

I'm having a real hard time retrieving my emails from my old device

I've switched to a 5s from a 4s I'm having a hard time reciveing my old and new emails and had to manually download all apps ,my contacts went through just fine I'm not reciveing any email? Can anybody help?

Do you have the email accounts created on the new device. You will not get old email from the old devices on the new device, unless they are IMAP or Exchange accounts. Email downloaded to a device are on the local device and are not part of the backup or sync. If you are having issues getting new mail, that is a completely different issue.
Not sure exactly what you did in the activation of this new device, but it sounds like you may have set it up as new and are trying to sync data back from iTunes? Is that correct?

HT201269 How can i transfer sent email from my old iphone to the new one?

Trying to figure out how to transfer sent email from my old iphone 4 to my new iphone 5s. Anyone have any idea?

If you have a POP account, this will not happen. If you have an IMAP or Exchange account signing in as the other poster stated will work. So, it depends on what type of account you have.

Hello zman387,
It sounds like you need to update your Apple ID email address from the old one to the new one. This article should help you do that.

How do i change my iCloud email from an old email to a new email?

If you already enable the iCloud mail you can't change it.

How do I back up emails from an old iPhone

I purchased a new iPhone a couple days ago and realized there are important emails only located on my old iPhone. I need to back it up iCloud but have not had any luck. Do I need a sims card in it? Any suggestions?

Your email should be stored on your email provider's server. If this is an iCloud email account, for example, they would be stored on the iCloud email server, and can be viewd on icloud.com.
They should also appear on your new phone when you sign into the account.
The only exception would be if you are using an older POP/POP3 account, and the these older emails are no longer on your provider's server. If that's the case, and the email is only on your older phone, I'm not sure how you would be able to extract them from your old phone. Perhaps your carrier could temporarily switch your service back to your old phone, allowing you to forward these emails from your old phone to another account, then switch your service back to your new phone.

TS3899 I accidently turned ON contacts when I was turning ON my yahoo email account in settings and now all the emails from contacts have been merged to create SEPARATE contact right under the original contact name. Now I have double contacts for everyone

I accidently turned ON contacts when I was turning ON my yahoo email account in Settings and now all the emails from contacts have been merged to create SEPARATE contact right under the original contact name. Now I have double contacts for everyone with an email address!!! how do I UNDO? it says all CONTACTS WILL BE DELETED...when I go to turn CONTACTS to OFF.

Any contacts synced with the Yahoo account will be deleted from the phone if you turn it off. They will still be out there in Yahoo land, so if you turn it off and it deletes something you didn't want to, just turn it back on again.
It's extremely unclear what you did when you say " I only created contacts and typed in emails that I had for those contacts.....so I am still not sure how to UNdo what I did without deleting anything"
Undo WHAT, exactly? You said "I accidently turned ON contacts when I was turning ON my yahoo email account in Settings and now all the emails from contacts have been merged to create SEPARATE contact right under the original contact name."
Just turn it off.

I just created an iCloud email and I want to use that email for my iTunes account as well. I need help suiting the old apple I'd because I do not remember anything associated with that email and I don't know the security questions

I just created an iCloud email and I want to use that email for my iTunes account as well. I need help switching the old apple ID because I do not remember anything associated with that email and I don't know the security questions or the login for that old email.

You cannot do that. The AppleID you used to create the iCloud account is an active primary email address. The email address you created with the iCloud account is also an active primary email address (all Apple domain email address automatically become AppleIDs as well). You cannot replace the primary email address on one active AppleID with the primary email address on another, active AppleID.
You can use your iCloud email/AppleID with iTunes, but it will be a separate account, so all your previous purchases remain tied to the other AppleID you have.
I don't understand your statement that you could not remeber your old AppleID password, as you would have had to use it to create the iCloud account in the first place (the first step of creating the iCloud account required you to login with your existing AppleID and password)?

Will I still recieve emails from my old email account after creating an iCloud email account on my devices?
