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.

How Do I Sync All Email Accounts and Mailboxes (including those I create)?

How do I Sync all email accounts in the OSX Mail Application and mailboxes(including those I have created), all using the .mac sync application . . . or is there a better way to sync information from my powerbook to my imac?
The problem: I am reading and sorting/organizing my emails on my powerbook when traveling, and then I come home to my imac and end up having to manually duplicate the work I just completed. Any easy way of truly syncing the information between computers? Pleae let me know. Thanks
What is meant by mailbox structures? For example: On my powerbook, I have 2 unread messages in one of my IMAP email accounts. I read both messages. I choose to move message A to a client mailbox that I created in the OSX Mail APPL and the other message B I leave as read in the inbox & respond with a sent email . Now I use the .mac sync app on the powerbook. Then I use the .mac sync app on my imac . . . . will the application not sync the same information/sorting/organizing/sent responces into the appropriate mailboxes? I'm so confused.
Also, what "mailboxes behavior" & "advanced" preferences should be checked with IMAP email accounts. All sorts of misc. mailboxes keep being created in the OSX Mail APP. when choosing different preferences. When selecting store on server (mailboxes created indicate: stored locally on computer). Again very confused.

The benefit of using an IMAP is keeping server stored messages synchronized when accessing the account with an email client such as the Mail.app on different Macs.
Messages in the Inbox mailbox for an IMAP type account are stored on the server by default which cannot be turned off.
With an IMAP type account, you can also store Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk messages on the server which is available under the Mailbox Behaviors tab for the account preferences.
If you want to keep Sent messages synchronized with Mail on both Macs, you need to select "Store sent messages on the server" under the Mailbox Behaviors tab for the account preferences in Mail on both Macs.
I choose to move message A to a client mailbox that I created
in the OSX Mail APPL and the other message B I leave as read in
the inbox & respond with a sent email . Now I use the .mac
sync app on the powerbook. Then I use the .mac sync app on
my imac . . . . will the application not sync the same information
/sorting/organizing/sent responces into the appropriate mailboxes?
I'm so confused.
Was this client mailbox created as an "On My Mac" location mailbox? If so, an "On My Mac" location mailbox is stored locally on the hard drive, not on the server so messages moved to such a mailbox will not be kept synchronized with Mail on both Macs. Transferring a message from the account's Inbox mailbox or from any server stored mailbox to an "On My Mac" location mailbox stores the transferred message locally on the hard drive and removes the message from the server at the same time.
When creating a mailbox, the default location is "On My Mac" which is stored locally on the hard drive. If you are accessing an IMAP type account, you can select the IMAP account via the location selection which will create the mailbox on the server and be available in Mail on the other Mac. Messages placed in a server stored mailbox will be kept synchronized with Mail on both Macs.

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 can I sync my email accounts to avoid having to manually delete or move messages

How can I sync my email on iPad to avoid having to manaually delete or move messages from different accounts?

Set all your email accounts up as IMAP (instead of POP3) so that the messages are stored on the server. Then whatever actions you take on a message on your iPad will be "in sync" across all other devices/computers you access that email account from.

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];
//               p.getFileName();
               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";

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 to Sync Multiple email Account with iCloud

I have many email account over a local internet service provider and different hosting companie.
Is it possible to sync all my account over my MacBook, iMac, iPhone using icloud?
How can I do this?
Can you help?
Thank you,
BigBlaze

According the this: http://www.apple.com/mobileme/transition.html, "After moving to iCloud, family member accounts are no longer linked to the master account." You can share an iCloud calendar (see http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2690), but I don't think you will be able to share iCloud contacts unless you are signed into the same iCloud account on both phones.

TS4083 How can I sync all email accounts to my iphone?

There used to be an info section in iTunes that allowed you to sync email accounts from your iMac to your phone but this option seems to have been removed now from iTunes. Has it moved to iCloud somehwere? If so, how can I sync the accounts from my iMac? Thanks is advance for your help!

Thanks! I knew how to do that already :/ Just upgraded to a 5s and didn't want to manually enter my accounts and server settings again (there are 10 email accounts) as I actually don't remember most of the passwords. I backed up settings from my old iPhone 4 before swapping the sims over and have managed to restore the 5s from that backup which copied over all of my email accounts, great success! However, just had to access cpanel for all accounts to reset the passwords as they are not copied over.
Thank you for your prompt reply!

Syncing Multiple Email Accounts

My question is I want to sync two mail accounts to my iPhone and didn't know if it is possible. I use a Gmail account for all my personal emails and I would like to sync my work email account to the phone as well. At work I use Microsoft Outlook. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

You can retrieve and send mail from any number of accounts via EDGE and WiFi. Mail does not sync via USB cable, only over the air. What "mail sync" actually does is sync mail SETTINGS, not the mail itself. You can sync only one set of settings, but you can manually enter as many accounts as you want to.
To sync work mail if your company uses Microsoft Exchange your company's Exchange server must have IMAP connectivity enabled. Check with your IT department.

Multiple Email Accounts on iPad

I have a POP email service - att.net
I have a IMAP email service - me.com
Everyone knows me from my att.net address and I would like to keep it that way.
However, I would like to take advantage of the IMAP features at me.com.
I have forwarded my att.net account to my me.com account. Everything works fine.
However, I would like to send iPad email from my att.net account while using my me.com account for receiving. Can this be done?
In Outlook you set up send/Receive Groups but there doesn't seem to be a way to do it on the iPad.
Thank You for considering this question.
Arjayvee

The original response works. I do this all the time. You configure both email accounts on the iPad, but ignored the ATT one. Now while you are in you me.com email you should see the from being something, probably the default. If not the one you want to use, then click on it and it will give you both accounts. Choose the account you want to have the email come from.
I have three email accounts on my iPad and do this frequently.

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.
