Can I have a different address book for each mail account?

I have several email accounts that I use with Thunderbird. When I create a new email and begin typing the address, it autocompletes based on my personal address book. I would like to know if I can have a different personal address book associated w/ each account.
For example, I have an account for work and an acount for personal use. Suppose I have two contacts: "Mark Smith" a friend & "Mark Jones" a colleague. If I type "M" in the adress field of my email I would like for only "Mark Smith" to appear if I am composing that email from my personal account and only "Mark Jones" to appear if I am composing that email from my work account.
I am running Thunderbird 31.3.0 on Ubuntu 14.10.

@sfhowes: That sounds just like what I'm looking for. Thanks.

Is it possible to have two different address books on one user account ?

I currently have my address book on my mac however I would like to IMPORT an address book that I saved from our family reunion which was stored on someone else's macbook. I would like to keep this new address book separate from my own on my mac. Every time I try to Import the saved Address book, i get a message that says that if I import the new address book it will replace the old one...which is not what I want to do. Also, I do not wish to create another user account just to assign an address book to it.

You can install additional language packs if you want to run the same Firefox version in different languages like I wrote above.<br />
Select the one(s) that you want to install and click them on the XPI site to trigger the installation.

How can I set up a separate email signature for each mail account?

Any way to set up a unique signature for each mail account on the Iphone, seems to be just 1 standard signature?

Always worth jotting a quick note off to Apple about it, if you'd like to see it in a future iOS version (enough people ask for a feature, and it's more likely to happen).

How can i have a different Apple ID for my 2 iphones, currently both are having the same Apple IDs and all data is getting sync which i don't want to happen?

Hi Currently having single Apple ID for my iPad, iPhone 4S and iPhone 5. Can i have a separate Apple ID for my iPhone 4S and iPhone 5. At the moment since the apple id are same the contact are getting sync between the 2 phones which i don't want to be in Sync.Will having two separate apple ID solve the issue or is there any setting that i need to make.. Pls suggest
Thanks
Ravi

Yes, you can certainly create a new Apple ID at appleid.apple.com (which will have to be associated with a different email address from your current ID) and then change the various settings and applications on one of your iPhones to use this new ID.

Different Address Book name and Mail recipient name

I sync my mobile phone with my mac so all my contacts are in Address Book (and hence are the same as my Mail.app addresses).
I add details to the name fields in my mobile phone (eg wife's and children's name) to remind me when someone calls.
eg.
Bill Smith's wife's name is Jane and his kids are Tom and Sue. So the mobile phone contact might be:
Bill (Jane, Tom, Sue) Smith
That works fine for my mobile phone, but when I use the same contact for email the recipients see "Bill (Jane, Tom, Sue) Smith". Not very professional.
I realise I could maintain two contacts for Bill (one with his phone numbers, and the other with his email address) but is there another way? Can I tell Mail to use a different field for the name or even just display the email address with no name at all?

This is a very strange problem that I am suffering since 2 years ago.
It seems that Mail.app likes to autocomplete your address book contacts with mail information but it makes it wrongly.
This can be avoided by several ways:
-unchecking that option in Mail/Preferences/Composing (I'm Spanish, so I'm not sure if that is the correct menu) but this also turns off the autocompleting when entering addresses in the "To:" form.
Apple should make different checkboxes because they are different options...
-putting spaces when surnames not needed so Mail thinks it is completed and won't autocomplete it
-Checking and deleting "Previous Receipts" menu because here starts the problem. If here the name is ok, it will remain ok but if here appears dupicated it will be duplicated very soon (I'm not sure when actually) so check it, correct it in address book and delete the entry from previous receipts.
-LAST AND BEST. Stop using previous receipts, it will still autofilling the "To:" form with your addressbook contacts but you don't have to check previous receipts every time you send a mail. Delete all the list, close mail and enter "defaults write com.apple.mail SuppressAddressHistory -bool true" in Terminal.

E71x Notifications for each mail account

I've got 2 mail profiles set up now, and possibly a 3rd one shortly. It seems I can only set notifications up for all of the email accounts collectively. Is there anyway to set up notifications for each specific account?
I've got Yahoo set up on the Xpress Mail app, any my company account on the Exchange app. I'd like to set up a Gmail account and have the notifications for the Yahoo and Exchange accounts turned off so I would only get a vibration for the Gmail account. Is this possible?

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Actually, you should have one icon for each email account. Further, you should have a Messages icon that is the master list for all messaging services you use (including, but not limited to, email). Depending on your OS level, you may be able to control what shows in Messages and mask those email accounts out of Messages. But you'd need to give us some idea of what OS level you are running.
If you are not seeing the additional email account icons, then many things could be an play...here are what I can think of right now:
You are running a theme that hides all but Messages.
You are hiding the individual email account icons.
You have something else running that is causing this.
I can't really think of any other possible causes. Good luck!

Seperate windows for each mail account

I've just installed Panther and am exploring the Mail application.
How can I set up completely seperate windows for three seperate accounts that will receive and send mail only specific to each account.
In Outlook I had three seperate windows all working completely independently but I can't figure how to do this in Mail.
Geoff H

There is no separate account named Outbox mailbox for each account under Out in the mailboxes drawer. There is a single Outbox mailbox which is shared by all accounts.
The account named mailbox under Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk will not be created until the function is used by the account.
Mailboxes under In, Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk in the mailboxes drawer are created and managed automatically by Mail and cannot be manipulated manually.
The "On My Mac" named Trash mailbox under Trash in the mailboxes drawer is used when selecting a message for deletion that is located in a user created "On My Mac" mailbox.
The only mailboxes you can create and manipulate in Mail are user created "On My Mac" mailboxes which are stored locally on the hard drive and user created .Mac or IMAP account mailboxes which are stored on the server.

Where can I download the application "Address Book" for OS 10.3.9

Some how or another my address book got dumped off my desktop and now I cannot get it back. It will open using my email account but that does not show the mailing address on other info. I tried using backup which had been uploaded to my idisk to "restore" but everytime I have tried to open the backup restored file, it goes back to the backup screen showing "restore or backup." When I went on my hard drive and looked for the "Address Book" application, it only appears in a previous system file and will not open either. I am quite perplexed as how to recover my "addresses." Is there a site available where I can download the "Address" application or is there another way to fix? I have already looked on all my install disks. I am running Panther 10.3.9 on an iMac.

Sandra -
You can use Pacifist to reinstall individual applications from your installation disk. Here's a link to a MacWorld review:

WinXP with two users - can we have two separate iTunes, one for each user?

Question: On my Dell WinXPPro SP3 desktop with two users (myself and my wife), can each user have a separate iTunes - so what each of us does with iTunes has no effect on the other?
Details: Yesterday, June 29 2012, I bought a new iPad 3 with WiFi only, my first Apple product. My #1 motive for buying it is to copy movie files (avi, m4v, mp4, etc.) from my WinXP setup (PC plus hard drive) to my new iPad to watch the movies in bed on the new iPad. I understand that I shall need to install iTunes on both the iPad and the PC in order to move or copy the existing movies from the PC side to the iPad. (I also understand that I won't be able to use iCloud because iCloud will not run on WinXP, only Vista and Win7.) [By the way, if iTunes will NOT help me do what I want to do, please let me know. But that is not my question.]
I am only one of two users on the PC. My wife is the second user on the PC. She already installed iTunes on the PC for her own use. She is an avid iTunes user. Most of the time, she does not use this PC. She has her own WinXPPro SP3 Dell laptop, which is what she uses 99% of the time. She has also had an iPod for some time, hence her use of iTunes. And now, for the last two weeks, she also has a new iPhone 4S and her own iPad. So her use of iTunes will grow. The important point is the following - whatever I do on my side, I do not want to interfere with or disrupt her use of iTunes. Not even for a second.
So, can I install or re-install or somehow set up iTunes on MY user on the PC so that it does not in any way use or affect her iTunes? If the answer is "yes", please give me a step-by-step and list all details. Is there a YouTube that shows this specifically?
More details: Right now, in C:\Program Files, before I have tried to install anything myself, there are already folders for Apple Software Update, iPod and iTunes, which derive from my wife's installations of these Apple programs some time ago. I have just now run the Apple Software Updater, which first updated itself on this PC to version 2.1.3.127 and then updated her iTunes on this PC to version 10.6.3.25. (As a result, the following processes/services are now running, which normally don't run when I am the user:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\AppleMobileDeviceService.exe
C:\Program Files\iPod\bin\iPodService.exe
C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunesHelper.exe
Also, the following processes will launch the next time I reboot this PC (which normally don't launch when I am the user):
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\APSDaemon.exe
C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunesHelper.exe )
My wife says her iTunes is NOT set for Family Share. (That sounds correct to me, for now and forever.)
Summary: So, how do I install iTunes for myself (for the first time) for my user on this PC so it does not - even for a second - interfere or affect my wife's use of her iTunes on all of her devices?
Thanks !!!

Mr. Wiclee - thanks for the link.
When I said I had not "installed" iTunes on my iPad, I suppose I meant I have not yet signed in to iTunes, ever. I suppose when I sign in to iTunes the first time on my new iPad, I will be required to create a new iTunes account? Then refer to such new iTunes account when I launch iTunes for the first time on my PC as myself? Or will I still need to use Method Three in your link?
The crucial thing is this - when I turn on iTunes on the PC for the first time with me as User, I do NOT want it to connect to my wife's iTunes account. On my PC, I would want iTunes to ask me who I am, so I can then sign in with my new iTunes account that I had just created on my iPad. How can I be sure to accomplish this goal?
In my PC, if I look at Documents and Settings and compare the two folders for we two different users, one for me and one for my wife, I can see that my wife's has Application Data and Local Settings for her various Apple programs. However, so do I in my User even though I have not yet installed any Apple programs on my side. I am concerned that when I finall launch iTunes when I am user, it will open up in my wife's iTunes account, which I truly want to avoid.
Thanks. Please advise.

Can I have 2 different IPods on the same itunes account and computer?

I have a nano gen. 4 and a new nano 7.
Can I have them both on my itunes account and computer?
thanks

Yes. You can easily have multiple iPods on the same iTunes account on the same computer. Each iPod will show up with its name when plugged in, and each iPod can have its own set of preferences (i.e., what music, videos, photos, audiobooks, etc. to sync).
What you can't do easily is use the same iPod on multiple computers with different instances of iTunes. One instance of iTunes has to be "in charge" of an iPod.
