How do I set up two email address on the same account?

Using Mail in Mac OS X 10.6.2 and moving to Mac for the first time, I have been unable to set up two email addresses on the same account. Entering them, separated by commas, as advised in the Help does not seem to work. I have tried making them both the same password and have tried separating the passwords with a comma but no luck. Unable to set up another account for the second address because it correctly tells me that the account already exists.
Is there a way?
Thanks for any help.

After a comprehensive trial and error session, using a new Guest Account each time to be sure of no contamination from the previous trial, I have finally cracked it!
The problem was logging on to the outgoing server.
Setting up the first account was fairly straightforward but if I allow Mail to do it automatically I am unable to send because Mail has defaulted to 'Authentication Required' when my server does not require it. Setting the account manually without authentication enables send and receive to work OK.
If i try to set up the second account automatically, Mail crashes.
If I set it up manually and choose 'No Authentication', Mail crashes.
If I set it up manually and choose 'Authentication Required' and enter the full email address as the User Name together with password, Mail crashes.
If I set it up manually and choose 'Authentication Required' and enter the first part of the email address together with password, Mail crashes.
However, if I set it up manually and choose 'Authentication Required' and enter the first part of the email address as User Name and no password, Mail accepts it and sets up the account.
At this point the account receives mail but cannot send it.
If I go into the Mail preferences and try to edit the outgoing server details, Mail will not accept no Authentication.
I eventually found that if I uncheck the 'Always Use This Server' box, all account then use the server on the first account, which is correctly set up.
Now I have my four email accounts all able send and receive.
One little concern remains. In Outlook Express I could look at the properties of a received email and see what address it had come from, together with many other details. I haven't found out yet whether this can be done in Mail. I just wonder whether if I reply to some email, it will appear to have come from a different address from the one it was sent to.
Thanks again for all the inputs.

    I live in both countries but my credit card is registered in a french bank, therefore it is not recognised by the Aussie store on itunes. There are apps or music i want to get form the Aussie store as well as music and other apps from the french one...
    Is it possible to have two stores under the same account????? I wish apple could fix this, which could result in more spending as you can buy from different store!

    Wait 90 days
    Why would you start a new account?  Why not just correct the original account?

  • I have bought an additional iPad (mini) for my wife, but how do i set up her email address only without mine appearing on her iPad?

    I have bought an additional iPad (mini) for my wife, but how do i set up her email address on her iPad only without my email accounts also appearing on her iPad?

    It sounds like restored one of your own backup when you activated her iPad. If you just activated the device and you want to share an Apple ID for purchases, you should, either erase the device and start all over again and NOT restore your backup - or simply delete your email accounts and set up hers in the settings.
    To erase the device and start all over again, go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings. If you enabled Find My iPad, you will need to enter your Apple ID and password to erase the device.
    You can delete your email accounts, in Settings>Mail, contacts, calendars>Account Name>Delete Account.

  • Trouble setting up two email addresses from same account

    I have a Yahoo small business account with one username but 5 email addresses. I need to use at least 2, preferably 3, of them from my iPhone. I can create the 3 addresses, but when I try to type in the 3 sets of POP settings, I get an error message as soon as I type the username, saying "this account has already been set up". Then all it will do is let me edit the email address on the first account.
    Anybody know of a work-around for this?

    That is unfortunate.

  • HT204150 How do I change my default email on the "Me" contact from a Facebook email to my normal email address in the same contact?  Or at least change it for the autofill information?

    How do I change my default email on the "Me" contact from a Facebook email to my normal email address in the same contact?  Or at least change it for the autofill information?
    Perfernece for contact to change.  Do I just have to dis-associate my contact fromt the facebook account?  Is only the autofill changable?

    If you allow Facebook to access your contacts and you have the @facebook.com email alias turned on, it will add the @facebook.com email to your contact info, and because it has the fixed label of "email" it overrides every other email address.
    They didn't fix this in iOS 8.
    There are two ways to remove the @facebook.com email from your contact info:
    If you don't need your Facebook friends and their info updating your contacts, go into iOS Settings -> Facebook and turn off access to Contacts.
    If you don't use your @facebook.com email address (all it does it forward to the primary email address) you can go into the Facebook app, More -> Settings -> General -> Email -> and uncheck "Use your Facebook email". Removing it from Account Emails does not work, you have to turn it off. Once you do this, go to iOS Settings -> Facebook and turn Contacts off and on again to make it update your info. The @facebook.com address should be removed.

    how do i change my icloud email address from the one i already have input?

    Hi sparkie,
    You cannot change your iCloud email address. It is an @me.com address, and is associated specifically with that iCloud account. If you want a different @me address assigned, you have to delete the current iCloud account and set up a new one.
    Here is a link with all the support information for iCloud:

    Hope this helps!

  • I am trying to read my iMessages from my iPhone 4S on my iPad 2, but the messages do not show up on my iPad 2. I made sure that the receiving email address is the same on both devices and both are signed into my single Apple account.

    Is it possible that the person who sent the message to your phone sent it to your phone # instead?  Try sending a message to your phone via the email address and see if it shows up on the iPad.

  • How do I set up a second iphone using the same iTunes account?

    How do I set up a second iphone on the same iTunes account but give my wife ability to have her own calendar and contacts?

    Create a separate iTunes library for each device. Note: It is important that you make a new iTunes Library file. Do not just make a copy of your existing iTunes Library file. it will work. I am using it through this
