How do I access multiple email accounts

I just got my Bionic a few days ago and have set up multiple email accounts (work, gmail, yahoo). When I click the "email" icon only one account appears. I can't seem to find the inbox, etc for any of the other accounts. The only time I can find those messages is when a new message comes in and I get notified of it. Then I can catch the other messages.
How do I access the inboxes for all the accounts? This must be obvious but i'm missing it.

Questions are typically followed by a question mark. My answer answered your question.
Firefox doesn't do email, so there are no "Firefox email accounts". If you are accessing "email" with Firefox, you are using web mail. Some web mail services don't allow for direct access, they want their users to access their email from a "portal" or "main" page and will re-direct any attempt to load an "internal" web site page back to the main page.
As far as loading 3 different web mail accounts at the same time, if they are in the same domain it won't work on Firefox without a Firefox addon. http://br.mozdev.org/multifox/
IOW, if those three email accounts all with Yahoo, without that add-on you would have to logon to each email account separately and log out of the first before logging into the 2nd. Then log out of the 2nd before logging into the 3rd. Firefox isn't capable of having multiple session cookies for simultaneous logon's to the same server. That add-on provides that "multiple sessions cookies" feature.

How do I access multiple iCloud accounts with a single IPAD?

You can set up an additional "secondary" iCloud account by going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendar>Add Account>iCloud and entering the ID and password. There are some restrictions on secondary accounts.
Only the primary account can be used for Photo Stream, Bookmarks, Documents, iCloud Backup and Find My iDevice. Also, Push Mail only works for the Primary Account; Secondary Account Mail is Fetch.

How can i access an email account on TB from a separate computer without deleting/modifying how the other account is setup

I want to be able to access another email account that is set up as a POP account on TB, but I do not want to modify how the other email account is set up. My co-worker and I often need to access each others emails. Is it simply a matter of adding the email account on my computer as a POP, without moving his emails? Or would this require changing his account to IMAP? When i set up his TB account, I made it a POP so there are no messages on the server at the moment. What I don't want is for his emails to move from his computer to mine.
(He's new to TB and that would drive him crazy - I already did that when I switched him from Outlook)
Thank you

''Is it simply a matter of adding the email account on my computer as a POP''
Yes. And make sure to check the option to leave messages on the server prior to accessing the account.
Having said that, I think it is a very bad idea to share an account that way.
Note that this will give you permanent access to your co-worker's account.
In addition you're not only storing your own messages on your computer, but also all your co-worker's messages.
The same is true for him if he does the same.

How can i read multiple email accounts?

hi,
my program is to get emails from multiple email accounts, and grab the attachments, but it doesn't work properly.
If there's only one email account, it works fine, but if there are more, it looks like that the program always goes into the first mail account to read the messages. i suspect that the 'Server' or the 'Session' are not reset before each connection, i printed out the connected 'Folder', it looks fine, but every time the 'Folder.getMessageCount()' returns the same number of messages as the first email account has.
Here's my code:
// this is to get the folder, mostly 'inbox'
// serverString is like: "protocol://username@host/foldername"
// all parameters are retrieved from the Database
public static Folder getMailFolder(String serverString, String username, String password) throws Exception {
        // URLName server = new URLName("protocol://username@host/foldername");
        Folder folder = null;
        URLName server = new URLName(serverString);
        // the session is created by grabbing the authentication using the username and password
        // the MailAuthenticator is an inner class as shown at the bottom
        Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(new Properties(),
                new MailAuthenticator(username, password));
        folder = session.getFolder(server);
        // this message always show the same number of messages
        System.out.println("folder retrieved for " + serverString + ", with " + folder.getMessageCount() + " messages");
        return folder;
// this method is to get the messages from the folder
public static void getEmailWithSubjectContaining(String emailUrl, String username, String password,
              String regex, String filepath, boolean addPrefix, boolean delete)
         throws Exception {
         Folder folder = getMailFolder(emailUrl, username, password);
        if (folder == null) return;
        folder.open(Folder.READ_WRITE);
        Message[] msgs = folder.getMessages();
        // Here is my problem, the msgs.length always returns the same value
        // which is the number of messages that the first email account has
        System.out.println("Totally there are " + msgs.length);
        for (int i = 0; i < msgs.length; i++) {
             String pathToSave = filepath;
               String subject = msgs.getSubject();
               System.out.println("Email subject: " + subject);
// examine if the message should be dumped and deleted
               if (!subject.matches(regex)) {
                    System.out.println("Email subject doesn't match regex: " + regex + ", this email is ignored.");
                    continue;
               Part p = (Part) msgs[i];

               if (addPrefix) {
                    pathToSave = filepath + "/" + getFilenamePrefix(subject);
// this method call is to save the attachment
               dumpAttachment(p, pathToSave);
               msgs[i].setFlag(Flags.Flag.DELETED, delete);
          folder.expunge();
folder.close(false);
// this method calls getEmailWithSubjectContaining using a loop
public static void getEmailWithSubjectContaining(String dbUsername, String dbPassword, String dbUrl) throws Exception {
     Connection con = null;
     if (dbUrl == null || dbUrl.equals("")) dbUrl = "jdbc:mysql://localhost/email_util";

This is all my program doing, anyone knows what the program is? thanks for your help!

Assuming you're passing in the right URL, I don't see the problem.
Still, try change session.getDefaultInstance to session.getInstance
and see if that helps. If not, turn on session debugging and check the
protocol trace for clues. If you still can't figure it out, post the protocol
trace.

How can I access 2different email accounts?

How can I access 2 different email accounts. I thought when I selected mail it would give me list of email accounts. Am I doing something wrong? Please help...

Have you set up both accounts in the Mail settings? If so, then you should be getting mail from both accounts.
I'm not sure what you're expecting to see by a "list". As of iOS 4.x on the iPad, all mail appears in a single Inbox, so you won't see two different accounts as such, if that's what you were expecting.
If that doesn't answer your question, please post back with more details as to the problem you're experiencing.
Regards.

How do I sync multiple email accounts on ipad

So I'm now, dubiously, the lucky owner of iPad mini with up to date software and iMac with latest software.
It now seems apple have decided they don't want me to use more than one email account and so have stopped me being able to sync them ? Even for apple this is breathtaking in its arrogance and fascistic nature...
Anyone any ideas?

By synchronize, I suspect you mean that reading or deleting a message on one device will result it its being read or deleted on the other device. If so, this is only possible for IMAP accounts or exchange accounts. This is not an iPad limitation but a limitation in the email system protocols. iCloud mail is an IMAP system; so, iCloud email will synchronize automatically. There could be a slight delay in this, but it works.
Many email systems (Comcast may be one of the more common) are POP accounts. Those won't sychronize at all regardless of device used.
If by synchronize you mean that you can have the account on multiple devices and that's all; no problem regardless of the system. But, remember that you will download all your POP messages even if you have read and deleted them on another device. That can be a pain.

Access multiple email accounts with PLSQL API?

I'm trying to access all of the email accounts on a server using the PLSQL API to institute an email retention policy.
I have been able to login to the server as orcladmin with sysadmin privileges, but when I get the top-evel folders (mail_folder.list_toplevel_folders) I only get the INBOX.
thanks,
Mark

Well, it looks like it's not possible to do this in PLSQL. So, I'm going to try Java. Can this be done in Java?

How can i host multiple email accounts?

Hi there,
I've a problem.
I have installed Lion os x server with the latest updates.
I need help to set up Separate E-Mail Accounts for each Domain, so each Domain receives it's own mail.
I have the following domains that i want to host with emails.
www.example1.com
www.example2.com
Hosting of website is not a problem. I have it working including PHP+MYSQL.
But now..How can i setup to receive and send emails with both domains? (www.example1.com and www.example2.com)
I want to have something like this:
www.example1.com:
[email protected]
Hostname: server.example1.com
Outgoing: server.example1.com
and
www.example2.com:
[email protected]
Hostname: server.example2.com
Outgoing: server.example2.com
for www.example1.com it's the standard one and works fine (including apple Push). But realy confusing that i cannot get it work with example2.com.
Can anybody help me? I've searched the whole web but cannot find a good answer.
Thank you very much in advance!

You can run multiple domains in postfix/Mac OS X server, but don't get bogged down with the hostname.
There is nothing wrong with mail for a [email protected] being delivered to/from a server.example2.com (or vice versa). Most users never see the hostname of the server in the process, so don't bother trying to create multiple hostnames on the server to make this work. If you're really bothered just create records in your DNS that map back to the same IP address (e.g. server.example1.com -> 1.2.3.4, server.example2.com -> CNAME -> server.example1.com) so users can use either hostname.
For the accounts, there are two ways of managing multiple domains, depending largely on your comfort level with the command line vs. GUI, and how the users map.
If the usernames are the same (e.g. [email protected] is the same person as [email protected]) then the simplest thing to do is tell postfix to accept mail for both domains - mail addressed to either domain (example1.com or example2.com) will route to the same user's mailbox.
If your users are different then you can either use Mac OS X-style aliases or postfix aliases.
The Mac OS X-style aliases work through Workgroup Manager - you add all your users to the main directory, and create additional shortnames for each user's email addresses. For example, you might have a user 'joe' who is also '[email protected]', so add that second email address as a shortname.
Postfix-style aliases require setting up in the command line, where you create maps of email addresses to users, and is well documented on various postfix-driven web sites.

How do I poll multiple email accounts?

Hi.
I'm switching from a Linux based PC to a Mac mini as my primary computer. (One reason only, a silent computer)
In my Linux system I have several accounts that I poll through fetchmail with cron.
Now I'm wondering if there is available in OSx an equal feature, to poll several accounts even though the email application isn't started?
Thx,
/Mysteron

If by poll you meant to check for new mail without downloading it, I don't think so. You could run an applescript to have mail get any messages from your configured accounts, and fire the script with cron. Otherwise, just replicate what you were doing on Linux- fetchmail is available.

Hi there I lost my password for my original iTunes account I can't recover it because the email address it is registered under is not longer valid How can I access my old account?

Hi there.
I did a factory restore and then restored it with iCloud back-up. I have been using lots of Apple products and i have used three different email adresses. Almost all apps restored perfectly but everytime i try to play a song in the Music app, i asks me for a Apple-ID i had no idea i have used.
Hence:
I lost my password for my original iTunes account
I can't recover it because the email address it is registered under is not longer valid
How can I access my old account?
Can't find a place to change the email address to my new one without the password which I no longer remember.
There is no way to just erase Apple-ID's on my device either.
What to do? Should i ju give up and start from scratch and delete 2 years of stuf?
Cheers!

If you can remember the answers to the security questions when you set up that account - I think that you can reset the password without needing email authentication. You can try it here. Read it and see if it's possible. But if you can't remember the answers to the questions it will not work.

A new window appears allowing you to move all messages to the trash.
Bingo!

If I have multiple email accounts, how can I prevent one of them from sending email?

If set up multiple email accounts in Thunderbird, how can I prevent one of them from sending email, while allowing others to send?

Simple answer:
do not use the email address when sending or replying or forwarding emails. Sending is not automatic, you have to generate the email and click on a Send button.
You could use an smtp server that will not allow sending using the incorrect server for the email address, so that it cannot send, but if you accidentally use the email address you may get an error message, but at least the email will not be sent. Do this here:
Tools > Account Settings for the mail account.
bottom right Outgoing Server - select one that will not accept sending using wrong email address
OR
in Outgoing Server(SMTP) select the server you are using for that account
click on 'Edit'
deliberately make an error in the server name - remove the port details etc.
So the details are wrong and cannot send.
