Will You Renew MobileMe?

[Txdogs]

Weird huh? If I would go in to my account settings for email it would list the Charter account as 'offline' and only respond to emails sent to my Charter email with my MoME outgoing server. That is the main reason why I did not renew MoMe.

Hey Brickman,

I just had an online chat with a MoMe assistant. He said to NOT check the box under 'use this server only' under account settings. So, I wanted to know if that is the way your Charter and MoMe accounts are set up, with that box blank.

Thanks.

[Brickman]

Actually, I have that box checked on all my accounts. Personal/Business/MoMe. Now be sure that all the accounts that you want to use are "on-line" and not "off-line". That could make a difference.

I even went up to Mail=>Preferences=>Accounts and all three of my accounts have all the boxes checked, that can be checked, in both "Account Information" and Advanced".

BTW, are you using MacMail or Entourage? I am using MacMail. Not sire if that will make a difference.

[Txdogs]

Well this is confusing. I use MacMail and the MoMe assistant said to leave that box unchecked for all accounts.

[Brickman]

I would try what he suggested. Can't hurt. I have all those boxes checked and when I go to that individual account, hit "New Message" it always puts in the correct "sent from" address.

Now I can always change that "sent from" address if I want to any of the other two accounts. I have had to "correct" the sent from account a few times before, but not that often.

I will say that I have my Company email forwarded straight to MoMe. I usually do not even check the Company account on mu iMac because everything is pushed to my iPhone through MoMe. I have recently started forwarding my Personal account to a Gmail account so that I can get it "pushed" to my iPhone. I do not have my Charter account set up for IMAP.

Thanks for your input. I'll have to play with it.

I just started the trial of MobileMe and I love it. I wish I would have found this sooner. This will make things so much easier and quicker for me. Goodbye Yahoo

I would LOVE to use MobileMe, but it just doesn't seem to work without some sort of third party intervention.

Since my "Main Brain" (Calendar, Contacts) is on a corporate Windows computer using Outlook on an Exchange server MobileMe has treated it like kryptonite and curled into a fetal position of uselessness.

Ok, you ALL peaked my curiosity again about the wonders of MoMe so I signed up for a 2 month trial to see if I still have email issues. So far so good BUT something is off with my syncing. All my existing data transferred easily to the Iphone, Imac, and Macbook so I did a test with a new calendar item and no go. It is not pushing between the 3. Do I need to do a reset on both computers under the MoMe settings?

[Txdogs]

I spoke too soon. All is syncing correctly!
