How i will check my Apple mail or where pl, bcz i m not able to verify my account

Hi,

The response to that would be "OK".

Your:-

i have the same problem

Tells us nothing about what has been discussed in this thread, which would be the info we would need to be able to help.

Start Here Which is the top of the Discussions tab in Using iPhone.

On the right is the "Start Discussion" option. Use that.

This thread started in July 2011 and was last used in 2013.

Since that time MobileMe has become defunct and "replaced" with iCloud which alters some of the answers already stated in this thread.

You could Copy the URL of this thread and post it in your new one and then answer or fill in some of the related info that people will need.

Hi,

Some emails are not allowed.

Some of the "Apple.com" ones are for employees only.

I don't recognise @apple.id.com being a valid one.

With thread this old it can pay to start a new thread and reference this one.

Hi,

With what ?

Presumably you have an iPhone ?

You have not told is that in any way - other than guessing by the thread you have joined.

Also presumably it also concerns the Mail app on the iPhone.

More info would help.

As the thread was started 3 years ago it is certainly going to pay to start a new thread and reference this one.

As stated above, only Apple employees can use @apple.com email addresses. If you are not an Apple employee and created an Apple ID long ago using "@apple.com" then it's probably a bogus email, not really usable and you won't be able to verify to that address. Have you ever recieved email to that address?

As you have purchases with that account, the best thing to do is follow the instructions at "How to change the name you use for your Apple ID" and rename your Apple ID to a valid email address, and change the email linked to it to the valid email address as well. That way you can verify it as valid and keep all your purchases with that ID.

Are you referring to verifying your Apple ID?

Apple will send the email to the email address associated with your Apple ID.

Log in at http://appleid.apple.com/ with your Apple ID to check what email address is associated with that ID (and update it if necessary). That is the email address you will need to check to verify your account.

Yes I know.... And I happen to be an Apple employee who talks to customers everyday that have set up Apple ID's with @apple.com email addresses and then they can't figure out where they check their mail 😝

Indeed!

One of the many drawbacks to the current Apple ID system is that in the past it allowed people to setup Apple IDs that looked like email addresses but aren't, and using domains they shouldn't be able to use e.g. @apple.com

The whole Apple ID system is a huge "bag of hurt" with at least 4 different valid formats that I know of - and needs a major overhaul.

Despite MobileMe not offering @mac.com email addresses/Apple IDs for some years, you can still setup @mac.com Apple IDs for iChat that look like email addresses but aren't, and people with one think they have a MobileMe account or email address, and use it to sign up on websites.

The MobileMe log-in page asks for your Apple ID and frequently confuses many paid up MobileMe members who try to log-in with a different Apple ID for iTunes or these forums, instead of their @me.com / @mac.com Apple ID for their MobileMe account.

Then, there's the fact you can have an Apple ID that looks like an email address, but is actually associated with a totally different real email address.

And finally, there's the fact you can't change an Apple ID in many cases, or merge multiple Apple IDs into one.

Grrr!

Tell me about it 😉 This is what I deal with on a daily basis... From what I understand though, they're going to start disabling accounts that don't have valid email addresses associated with them. Clean things up a little! There are soooo many accounts that have been set up with either fake email addresses or just typos in them and rather than editing the account to reflect the proper email address, people just create whole new accounts and then end up with 4-5 accounts in their name.

Hi,

Yes this crops up again and again in iChat, trying to explain when an Name is a Valid AIM Screen Name or just a plain Apple ID. (Or rather which Apple IDs are valid with AIM and which are not)

It gets more confusing in that between MobileMe's launch and about 6 months ago now, @mac.com names were not always Apple IDs (it was optional).

Now the Registration page says it will be an Apple ID as well.

It is unclear from what I can make out if the ones in between as Apple IDs or not (I am working on the presumption that all are).

ktinaa wote:-

From what I understand though, they're going to start disabling accounts that don't have valid email addresses associated with them.

Would that include @Mac.com ones ?

It seems unlikely.

The only ones that works as email are the ones people had before MobileMe and chose to link to their MobileMe account (and that gives them two choices as a Valid name for iChat/AIM)

Add the that the fact that the @mac.com registration page has a Password Strength Indicator, prompting longer passwords, there is no info about the AIM servers being limited to only 16 characters.

@ kuldeepmy

If you have registered for MobileMe then you have an Apple ID that works as an Email

You will need to set up the Mail app to proceed further.

If you have set up an @mac.com name for iChat it will need another Email address that the confirmation should be sent to. This Email will be effectively hard linked to the ID which is also a Valid Apple ID.
(You cannot use an email already associated with an Apple ID.)

An @Mac.com name is not a valid email (unless you created before MobileMe was launched and elected to link to the Email part of your MobileMe account.

Apple IDs otherwise are any name that you set up.

Mostly these are email based.

However, as Julian Wright says, only the format (whether it looks like an email) is checked and not whether it is actually Valid.

Hi,

What is the ending to your Eamil address that you are trying to verify ?

This thread already talks about @apple.com ones being reserved for Apple Employees and that the @mac.com ending ones are not in fact an Email addresses (unless it was linked to a MobileMe account at the MobileMe Launch).

Which applications are you trying to use this Email adress ?

I am not sure if MoblieMe has an On line Web Mail page as I don't have MobileMe (May Julian will come back and say).

Yes, MobileMe email addresses (those ending in either @mac.com or @me.com) can be checked via MobileMe webmail at: http://me.com/mail/

You need to log in at http://appleid.apple.com/ with your Apple ID to check what email address is associated with that ID (and update it if necessary). That is the email address you will need to check to verify your account.

(Thanks Julian)

Hi Julian,

I did think of that but as the poster has posted here I presumed that they had done that.

That was why I asked about the type of Email Address it is.

HI,

That question has been asked 3 times in this one thread.

In your case it is exactly the same as the Original Poster's version.

The answers we have made are unlikely to change.

It may help if you explained the steps you have taken and what does not seem to work properly.
