I have two accounts with the same name. One no longer works. Can I delete it without deleting the folders it shares with the other account? How?

Each account has the same name (e.g. both are called [email protected]). The newer one was set up by accident during a conversion from Outlook. Both access the same inbox and sent mail. The two accounts show up as separate in Thunderbird and both have their own inboxes and sent mail boxes. The older one has not updated since the newer one was created, and the older one can no longer reach the server. I want to delete the old one, but am worried that it may delete the folders for the new one in the process. All of the relevant messages are still hosted on the ISP's server. Please advise whether I can do a simple "delete account" on the old account and not wipe out the new one at the same time.

Actually, doing a "delete account" does not delete the folders associated with it. They are still there, but unused. There should not be a problem with doing the "delete account".

    Is that not enough to connect facebook to the new account?
    I mean, it may automaticlally replace the link with the old account.
    Please just tell me if i'm wrong or right :)
    Hey,
    To be honest, I have absolutely no idea!
    I just take the route that I believe minimises any risk of something blowing up server side, and whilst it may well automatically disconnect, it only takes a few seconds to disconnect before connecting to the new account, and just eliminates that risk of a load of errors popping up :P

  • Hi, we have two iphones with two accounts.  The apple tv automatically syncs with one account to play music from the iphone to apple tv.  How can I use my iphone to do the same?

    Hi, we have two iphones with two accounts.  The apple tv automatically syncs with one account to play music from the iphone to apple tv.  How can I use my iphone to do the same?

    Our experience is a little different, we have different iTunes accounts for different family members, each family member has their own iTunes library on their own mac, each mac uses my Apple ID for homesharing and we are able to play purchased content from each library on the Apple TV.

  • Is it possible to have two files with the same name on my Zen To

    Hia,
    Is it possible to have two mp3 files with the same name?; I.e if I'm ripping a Bach CD, there are several tracks that have the name preludium, and I hate to do the rename.
    Also, will I be able to sync my Zen so that It will only recieve new files that have been added since I last connected my Zen to my computer?
    regards,
    Fredrik

    I believe same filename is OK because the Zen Player does not really care about filename. As far as I know, the Zen database of the tracks in the player is based on the track information such as Title, Artist, Album and Genre. This means you cannot have two tracks of the same Title, Artist, Album and Genre in the Zen Player.

  • Auto Attendant - I have two entries with the exact same name when msDS-PhoenticDisplayName set

    Exchange 2010 Sp3 w/latest rollup.
    We want the UM attendant to speak first name lastname so I put in the msDS-PhoeneticDisplayName value by using the set-user command. After this was entered, the UM attendant will say "I have two entries with the exact same name" and speaks both
    names identically.  When I remove the value the problem goes away so I am confident this field is causing the problem.  Anyone else have this problem and solved it?

    Is it possible to find out what serial or UDID info is stored on iCloud being used by the FindMyIphone site?  The FMI website doesn't show anything but the name and the device image (which is a generic iPhone image, and definitely not the 5S )
    Unfortunately not.

    Is it possible that you are using the same password for the old O2 Study and newer O2 Apple Base Station networks?
    If so, Keychain Access is storing the old information about the old network and may be associating it with your AirPort Extreme settings based on the BSSID that William has mentioned.
    If that's the case, open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > KeyChain Access and look for a listing with the old network name. Delete this entry. You may need to power down both the computer and the AirPort Extreme and restart them.

  • HT4910 Have two phones with same apple id as I got one for my hubbie .he tried to back up his numbers in I cloud . Our contacts have now merged and neither can delete from our phone without it coming off the other . Any ideas how we can stop this

    Have two iPhones with the same id as I got hubbie one in week and when I got it they asked for email address so I gave the one we use, so when my husband started phone up he just put my password in. When he tried to back his numbers on iCloud they all appeared on my phone and now I can't delete his numbers without them deleting on his phone as well . Any help would be appreciated.

    You'll have to migrate one of the phones to a different account, then delete the other person's data from each account (you can continue to share the same Apple ID for purchasing from the iTunes and app stores). 
    Decide which iPhone will be keeping the current iCloud account.  On the one that will be changing accounts, if you have any photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll or backed up somewhere else save these to your camera roll by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll. 
    Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud.  The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.)  When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPhone.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom).  Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to the new account.
    Finally, go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't from each account.

  • In iPad 1 ios 4 may have two ipad Apps the same from two accounts itunes

    In iPad 1 ios 4 may have two ipad Apps the same from two accounts itunes one free other paid account, hence one free App and another paid App the same App?

    If both accounts are authorised on your computer's iTunes (Store > Authorise This Computer) then you can download the books from both accounts to there (download the books from one account, then sign out of it via Store > Sign Out, log in with the other account via Store > Sign In and download the books from the other account), and sync them over to the iPad's iBooks app via the Books tab.
    Or you might be able to sign out of your account on the iPad by tapping on it Settings > Store and sign in with the other account and download the books from that account - I think that it should work, but it's not something that I've tried so I'm not 100% sure that it will

  • HT204053 Hi I've just purchased a iMac which is great, my problem is that I've a apple id account and also my wife has one, is there any way we can have two accounts i.e. separate accounts on the iMac with individual iTunes accounts, appreciate help pleas

    Hi ive just purchased an IMac and encountered an issue i didnt think of put hopefully someone can help? Ive a apple account and also the wife both with seperate itunes accounts etc. Is it possible to have two profiles with seperate accounts on our system, appreciate any help..

    I believe you can accomplish this by setting up separate user profiles for each of you on your Mac (System Preferences>Users & Groups (click the lock symbol if locked and provide the administrator name and password, then click the "+").  That should allow you to sign into separate iCloud accounts and maintain separate iTunes libraries within your respective user accounts.

  • I have two accounts and for both accounts I use the same emails. I cannot verify my email on my main account because of this. Help? Can I just cancel my other account to avoid confusion?

    I have two accounts and for both accounts I use the same email. I cannot verify my email on my main account because of this. Help? Can I just cancel my other account to avoid confusion? I am totally stuck now.

    By the sounds of it you have linked Email Accounts, if so this means that you will both recieve the majority of the same Emails, and if you do and you read them on your account (which is linked with your husbands) then they will appear to read on the both of them because they are linked. With the majority of Email providers these days they're Emails are (simplified) in the cloud you could say, meaning that if you read or delete shared Emails then it will do the same on both accounts rather than just the yours.
    I hope all that made sense, sorry that I couldn't be of anymore assistance.. If you havent already try googling your problem - you may find some answers on there

  • Hi can someone tell me if it is possible to have two accounts (from different countries) in the same laptop?

    Hi can someone tell me if it is possible to have two accounts (from different countries) in the same laptop?

    Hi...
    The issue is that your credit or debit card credentials must be associated with the same country where you reside to make purchases.
    "Although you can browse the iTunes Store in any country without being signed in, you can only purchase content from the iTunes Store for your own country. This is enforced via the billing address associated with your credit card or other payment method that you use with the iTunes Store, rather than your actual geographic location."
    From here >  The Complete Guide to Using the iTunes Store | iLounge Article
    Billing policy is the same for both the iTunes as well as Mac App Stores.

  • I have two ipads with the same apple id but my 3 year old uses one of them, how do i update hers witht he apps she can use instead of everything that is on min as well?

    I have two ipads using the same apple id.  My 3 year old uses one to play learning games.  How do I set them up so my apps arent displayed on her ipad?

    When you connect that iPad to iTUnes, go to the summary page and scroll down, there should be a box saying 'automatically update' or something to that effect. De select that.
    With automatically update on, what you buy on one goes onto the other. but with that box off you can choose.
    On the iPad itself, it's under
    Settings
    iTUnes and App Stores
    and then you can choose what you want automatically updated between the two devices.
