Will icloud email retrieve other accounts

I'd like to get off Google Gmail, but I have to retreive and read email from accounts other than my me.com account.  Is this in the product?

Gmail, for example, allows you to define email accounts that you own, and it retrieves messages from those accounts once an hour, so you can view them along with your Gmail messages, or sort them into other folders, etc, etc.
I could not find anywhere in the me.com email web site where you can similarly give the email address, password, etc for other email accounts which iCloud's mail would retrieve for you.  It would seem (though I hope this is not true) that the only email you can see at me,com is your own [email protected] incoming messages.

  • Can i receive thru icloud my email from other account

    CAN I RECEIVE EMAIL FROM OTHER ACCOUNTS THRU ICLOUD

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Yes you can add other accounts as secondary accounts (settings > mail, contacts & calendars)
    PS. Don't type in upper case it's considered as shouting.

  • HT4597 How much will iCloud email cost?

    How much will iCloud email cost if all I use in my .mac email account and nothing else? My equipment doesn't support iCloud, and therefore email is all I'll be using.

    iCloud is free and comes with up to 5 GB of storage in the free package, you can purchase more storage space if you want, however for Mail only I very much doubt you will need more than 5 GB.

  • How do you delete an existing iCloud email from your account?

    Hi,
    My son set up an iCloud email on my account.  When I open my iCloud email and go to preferences and then accounts, the email he created shows up, but I do not see a way to delete it. Is there a way to delete that email and create my own?
    Thank you.

    Press the minus sign (bottom left, next to the plus sign)
    Select the account before you delete it.

  • Using iCloud email for online accounts

    We're changing our internet provider and I need to change all of the online accounts that use the old email address in the log in process.  I've considered setting up an Outlook email address or a Yahoo or Gmail address so that future provider changes wouldn't require me to change the email log in for the dozens & dozens of online accounts but don't really want to use any of these providers.  Can I use my icloud email address, which is already linked to my iPhone & my MacBook Pro accounts?  Any reason why I shouldn't use the iCloud email address?  I really don't like gmail & don't want a Microsoft account.  And Yahoo seems to be hacked all the time.  Thank you!

    Unfortunately the free 5GB of storge is per account, not per device.  However, iCloud will only back up your iOS devices, not your iMac.  You may find that 5GB is sufficient if you are only backing up two iOS devices to the account.  If not, you can always buy more.

  • Mail marking read copy of email in other account

        Mail program on Mountain Lion Imac is marking read copies of email in another account which the email was both sent to. Main account is AOL for me and assistant uses gmail account which we both look at. If we are both sent an email and it is read in the AOL account on the Mountain Lion Imac the program marks the email read in the gmail account and the assistant doesn't think it is new. Marking it Unread works as long as the mail isn't read in the other account. This doesn't happen with IOS 6 phone or older operating systems. Can't see any preferences for this.

    Are you using the same computer and the same user account? If so, try setting up a new user to separate the Mail accounts. You can then set up fast user switching.
    From System Preferences Help.
    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

  • I clicked something and it started importing all my emails from other account. How do I make it stop. I Don't want them all

    Setting up account.
    I want to get new emails from the yahoo account but don't want them all copied.
    Can I do this?
    It started importing and I can't get it to stop. How can I stop it

    it is useful to offer some info on what type of account you're talking about.
    '''POP'''
    Pop mail accounts only look at Inbox and download whatever has not been previously downloaded. They cannot access nor download from any other folder on the server.
    So if you do not want older emails downloading, then you need to access your webmail account using a browser and move all older emails into a suitable folder, but not the Inbox, then Thunderbird cannot see them.
    By default, it usually downloads and deletes the copy on the server, but you can change this preference.
    * Tools > Account Settings > Server Settings for the mail account
    or
    * menu icon > Options > Account Settings > Server Settings for the mail account
    select: 'leave messages on the server'
    optional:
    select: 'for at most xx days'
    this will delete anything older than specified number of days
    select 'Until I delete them'
    when you delete an email it will be deleted off the server.
    click on Ok to save settings.
    '''Stopping a download:'''
    There is a button you can add to the Mail toolbar.
    * View > Toolbars > customise
    or
    * Menu Icon > Options > Toolbar Layout
    Drag the 'Stop' icon onto toolbar.
    close Customise window - top right X.
    click on 'Stop' icon to stop current action of download.
    '''IMAP:'''
    IMAP mail accounts see a remote view of the subscribed folders on the server, so you would see whatever is in any subscribed folder.
    You can choose to synchronize subscribed folders and select settings to limit what is downloaded.
    Tools > Account Settings > synchronization & storage.

  • Please,Please,Please, can someone help me to get access to my iCloud email address and account

    Can someone please help me?  I haven't been able to gain access to my iCoud.com email address for weeks.  When I try to reset from the 'Manage my ID' and enter my date of birth I keep gettingtold the information that I have entered is incorrect and when I try to have reset info sent to my alternate email address the email never arrives.
    Is there any way in which I can get access to my iCoud.com email account and address?  I had used the address for some important contacts and have been waiting for some very important information to arrive and I can only imagine that it is floating around the internet eather somewhere.
    Please, if someone can help me I would really appreciate it. 
    Thanks,

  • How to secure my emails from other accounts?

    Hello,
    I used the same computer with several of my friends, but i can see their email without to know their passwords and they can read my message as well (when i click on some email, password require window appears, but when I close it I can see the email). How can I secure my folders/emails?
    Thank you in advance.

    You cannot do this with Thunderbird anymore than you can with Word or Excel.. That is why Windows has the ability to create different user profiles on shared computers.

  • TS4002 How to delete other icloud email accounts

    Someone has hacked my account and added two default iCloud emails to my account how do I delete them???

    What sort of default emails? Do you mean @icloud.com versions with the same username? - that's normal. Or do you mean additional aliases? You delete these at http://icloud.com - go to the Mail page, click the cogwheel icon at top right, choose 'Preferences' then 'Accounts in the toolbar of the pane which opens. Select the alias you want to delete and click the '-' button below the list. And change your password. If it's not one of these types, what is it exactly (don't post your actual email address).

  • How can I verify my iCloud account via email, when I can't access my icloud email without verifying my account?

    I have setup a new cloud ID.
    I now need to verify my account via email.
    How can I do this when I can't access my iCloud email without verifying account?

    Did you click the Verify Now link in the verification email from Apple (see image below)?  If not, make sure you are checking the email address you used to set up your iCloud account.  Also make sure you check the spam/junk folder as well as the inbox.  If it isn't there, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in, click on Name, ID and Email addresses on the left, then to the right click Resend under your Primary Email Address to resend the verification email.

  • My wife just purchased an iPhone. She has an Apple ID but it is linked to her gmail address. She wants to create her own iCloud email address but the setup tools don't let us do that.

    I have aniCloud account  apple id, linked to a MobileMe address (which I converted to an iCloud account)
    My wife just purchased an iPhone. She has her own Apple Id -- but it is linked to a gmail address.
    I wanted to create a new iCloud email address and account for her, but the Mail Setup won't let us use .icloud and keeps referring her back to log into the gmail server.
    How can we convert her gmail address to an icloud address if Mail Setup refuses to let her use icloud.com?
    One other issue: Her iTunes are linked to my account, and my wife would like her own separate account.

    Actually, I want her to have a separate iTunes account. Our marriage is fine, but our musical tastes are vastly different  That's another issue; right now want to focus on getting my wife in .icloud email address.

  • My iCloud email on iPad keeps saying it won't connect to server.

    My iCloud email on iPad keeps saying it won't connect to server. Tried removing and adding iCloud back on device already. Says last update was Thursday (3 days ago). I don't use this email much but got a few emails and attachments I need for work from that address. I logged in online from another computer and it worked. Any ideas how to fix this now? I do get email from other accounts and do have internet connection.

  • TS4002 change icloud email address

    I keep getting random emails from strangers through my icloud email, im a computer novice and want to stop these emails. I'm not sure how someone has been able to get hold of my icloud address as i dont really use it.  I was thinking of changing my icloud email address other than that is there a way of blocking these random emails.

    There's no way to block random, spam emails.  You could always create a new Apple ID to use with a new icloud account, but that means current data in icloud would be lost.  If your current icloud account is new and you have very little stored on it, then fine.
