Multiple Email Accounts Don't Seem Possible. Yet Mail Help Says It is!

Hi,
If you go to the Mail help menu and type in "multiple", the result shows that you can enter multiple email address into an account during setup, separated by commas. Great if you have several emails under the same domain ([email protected], [email protected], etc.)
The problem is this - the User Name is the full email address, so although I can enter my four email addresses under one domain, I cannot enter them as four separate user names, only one will work.
Am I missing something here? It's got me confused!
Thanks for any replies.
Hugh

Using an IMAP e-mail where you have several email addresses say ,...... @mac.com, ,[email protected] and [email protected] all pointing at the same server inbox yes you can use the comma separation method.
Emails sent to any of those addresses arrive on your computer altogether as YOU have just ONE user name !
If however you have differing POP and/or IMAP accounts each with differing user names POP inboxes and even SMTP sending systems you will have to set up each email account one by one.
Mail will allow you to have them combined into a single inbox on your computer.
You will also notice a triangle appears to the left of the inbox ,click on this and you will be presented with individual account inboxes within the main inbox

  • Multiple Email Addresses don't seem to work in Profile Manager

    I have an email account that has multiple email addresses that filter into it.  I have previously been able to configure this directly on the device by entering two email addresses in the address field, separated by a comma, which had to be pasted into the field since the keyboard did not allow it.
    I was hoping that as I moved to Profile Manager to manage my device configuration, this would make it easier to manage these settings.  However, when I enter the same into the address field in the profile manager, the profile is pushed to the device, and the device is subsequently unable to send email (Asks me to look at the email settings).  It also does not allow me to select a from address, which leads me to believe it is interpreting the whole field as a single address. 
    Is there a good way to setup an account that allows sending from multiple from addresses using the profile manager?

    Unfortunately, I just tested it again, and it's still not working.  I did check the outgoing mail settings, and those look correct.  Moreover, the settings look like they would if I had typed them myself into the device, except they are greyed out because they came from the profile. 
    So a few more details/questions which may or may not help...
    - Does it matter if there is a space between the email addresses? I have tried it both ways I think, but right now I'm testing it without a space.  (i.e. Email Address: [email protected],[email protected])
    - If I turn Auto BCC on - then in the BCC field it shows [email protected],[email protected], -- if I then try to send an email, first it prompts me that it looks like an invalid email address and am I sure I want to send.  If I click OK, it finally tells me it cannot send the email, and that I should check my email settings.
    - Does it matter what kind of profile this is in?  I'm currently configuring this as part of settings for a particular user, but wonder if it might work if I configured it some other way (such as setting multiple email addresses for the user elsewhere, and then using the setttings for everyone).
    - For clarification @Eldrik - you are tying the email addresses into profile manager, right, and not for example leaving it blank to type into on the device?
    Thanks,
    Chip

  • Is there a way to get multiple email accounts on the front page of my Iphone?  Also I would like to have different sounds when I receive mail in the different accounts. Is this possible?

    Is there a way to get multiple email accounts on the front page of my iphone instead of just the generic mail icon?  Also is there a way to get a different alert sound for each email?

    No.

  • Can Multiple email accounts on Galaxy S4 sync with iCloud & non-iCloud email?

    Hello… has anyone successfully set up multiple email accounts (iCloud/Yahoo/AT&T/etc.) on their Samsung Galaxy S4 Jelly Bean 4.2? I searched the forums and it has been said that configuration settings depend on the combination of wireless service provider + device model + email providers + Android version.
    My S4 is from AT&T and if this scenario can't work, I have to cancel my contract in a few days (although that would be the last resort). From checking the forums, not everyone has been able to get the S4 to work with iCloud. In my case, I hope to sync up with iCloud and non-iCloud email which might be trickier.
    Here is one thread that helps with settings, but doesn't seem to address multiple or non-iCloud accounts: https://discussions.apple.com/message/22435596#22435596
    Some background info…
    Although Gmail just works on Android devices, I plan to primarily use Apple/Yahoo/AT&T email (at least initially).
    I don’t yet have Apple mail/iCloud, but plan to. I am partially switched to the Mac (Mtn Lion), but haven’t completed the jump from Windows.
    I don’t have an iPhone (so hopefully that makes the setup less complicated.)
    I mostly care about email on the S4 (I’m not concerned about syncing up contacts, calendar, music, etc.).
    Apologies for the long post, but hopefully I’ve included the necessary background info for the questions below:
    Is it possible to setup multiple (iCloud/Yahoo/AT&T) emails on the Samsung Galaxy S4 from AT&T so that they sync nicely?
    From the S4, if I reply to an email, will the Sender in the email reply be the same account which received the email? Or, (as I’ve read in the excerpt below) will the Sender for all email replies from the S4 be set from a fixed/primary account?
    Although the first two questions above are the most urgent for now, I'd appreciate pointers if you see something that should be changed in the configuration settings below.
    Thanks in advance!

    A post for setup on a previous model/OS version  https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3636567?start=0&tstart=0
    After spending quite some time trying to get my T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II setup with iCloud mail, this is what finally worked. Thanks to everyone for the various bits that helped lead me in the right direction. For those who need lots of detail, I hope the below helps. Please don't ask me about any other specific Android phones as I'm not expert but thought someone out there could benefit from my experience. 
    INCOMING SERVER SETTINGS
    User Name: username (do not enter @me,com or @mac.com)
    Password: (enter your password)
    IMAP server: imap.mail.me.com
    Security type: SSL
    Port: 993
    IMAP path prefix: p##- (you can find this by checking your account settings on your Mac. Mine was p03- so that's what I entered here)
    Press NEXT
    OUTGOING SERVER SETTINGS
    SMTP server: smtp.mail.me.com
    Security type: TLS
    Port: 587
    check the box next to "Require sign-in" if it's not already checked
    User name: username  (do not enter @me.com or @mac.com)
    Password (enter your password)
    Press NEXT
    Your phone will check the server settings and you should be able to see your email now.
    And another poster provided these additional tips…
    Definitely select SSL/TLS and accept all certificates
    Now here's the zinger: Authentication should be LOGIN
    After figuring this out, I finally (after many hours of searching and testing) got to my outgoing server settings, which are: smtp.me.com
    NONE for security type
    Tic "Require Sign-in"
    Authentication is PLAIN
    And another poster's question about the Sender's email address for multiple accounts…
    Managed to get this all set up however, Android only seems to allow you to send from your primary address and only reply from your primary address even if a mail was sent to one of the other addresses.
    Any ideas how to get around this as I have three addresses beneath my primary which I need to both send from and reply from.

    You're unlikely to find many people with experience of configuring multiple email accounts on a specific Samsung device, here on the Apple forum for an Apple service. Try the Samsung forums for help setting up your Samsung phone.
    There are a few posts with general info relating to setting up an iCloud email account on Android here if you search though.

  • 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 to setup multiple email accounts on one apple device It syncs to the rest of my apple devices?

    I have a Macbook pro (10.8.2), iPad 4 (6.0.1), and iPhone 5 (6.0.1).
    I have multiple email accounts set up on my iPhone:
    3X Work
    1X personal
    1X School
    They use Gmail and Microsoft exchange.
    Is it possible to have all these accounts automatically created on my ipad and Macbook without typing in all info again?
    Heres a visual:
    I hope this makes it a little more clear.
    I'm sure in the time it took me to type this, I could've manually added all the accounts to the devices lol
    Oh, and iCloud > Mail is enabled on all devices.
    Thanks for any and all help!

    Your post is a bit open ended....
    First thing - You need to decide if you want to use virtual domains or not.
    If
         [email protected]
         [email protected]
         [email protected]
    all should be separate mailboxes, then you need virtual domains.
    If those 3 addresses can all go to the same mailbox, then you don't.
    If you don't need virtual domains, then don't use them... things are simpler without that feature.
    If thats the case, in the domain name field in Mail service, enter your primary domain.
    You'll then need to enter your other domains via command line.
    First, check your mail domain setting with:
    sudo serveradmin settings mail:postfix:mydomain
    Here is how you enter more than one domain:
    - Quit the Server app
    - Issue this with your domains between the quotes
    sudo serveradmin settings mail:postfix:mydomain = "domain1.com, domain2.com"
    - Restart postfix to activate your change
    sudo postfix reload
    If you open the Server app, you will notice both domains are now listed.

  • Multiple email accounts and mail check frequency

    If I understand correctly, I can have multiple email accounts on the iPhone, one for work, one personal for example. Is it possible to have distinct update settings, or to easily take one offline? Say I don't want my work email retrieved during the weekend. We're all set to do the family thing with iPhones, but this question came up. With my Treo I frequently turn only one or the other of the accounts on, depending on what I'm doing.
    How distinct are the accounts? I assume the mail is in separate accounts as on the desktop?
    Thanks

    Thanks. That's good news.
    In Mail app I have one account, with two different "from" addresses set. I select the proper address depending if I'm writing family or a mailing list. Is that same feature available as it is on the desktop?

  • 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 {

    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

    I have multiple email accounts and prefer to open one of them first when I open the email app.  After setup of all my email accounts the app is opening one of the accounts that is not my preference even though I setup my preferred account as the default.  I've deleted all accounts and started over thinking that the order of the setup made a difference but it has not helped.
    In particular I want an Exchange email account to open first and this account is not sync'ed with iTunes.
    Would appreciate any suggestions.
    Thank you,

    The only way that you can do something even close to what you are trying to do is to back out of whatever you are in while using the mail app in order to get back to the main mail window that shows all of your inboxes and all of the different email accounts under the accounts heading. Then you could choose to use the Exchange account first from there.
    You would have to do this every single time that you are done with mail and it isn't exactly what you are looking to do and it's hardly worth the time anyway.

  • Multiple email accounts for iCal notifications

    I have multiple email accounts. I would like to be able to use the email account of my preference when sending a notification for a calendar (meeting) invitation. I would like to be able to select the preferred email account for every invitation I send.
    This is not possible on iCloud (never was possible on iCal either).
    Thanks

    I too have the same request of Apple's programmers.  It is very nearly 2012.  I believe Outlook has had this capability for at least the latst decade.  I've spent the better part of the last two days going through every thread on these boards, and I've tried everything - none of it works.  This shouldn't be that difficult.
    What I think is the problem is this:
    iCal uses my "APPLE ID" email.  It is the only possible explanation because THAT is the email that iCal sends from, every time.  I've deleted that ID from my "ME" card, it's been removed from the previous recipients list, it does not exist on this computer EXCEPT for being related to my Apple ID.
    Simply being able to select which email I send an invite FROM would be a huge advancement in iCal.  I have a number of calenders in iCal, most of which sync with iCloud.  I should be able to select the from email every time I set up an invite, or at least be able to select a default send from email for each calendar.  This shouldn't be rocket science.
    Does Apple ever read these boards?  There are threads back to 2009!

  • Multiple email accounts but they are all sending from same account.

    Set up with multiple email accounts but they are all sending from same account. I have checked account preferences and under composing they are to come from account of selected mailbox but this is not happening! Suggestions?

    They are all in the same folder and it says all images are there, but it is only showing 1 card's images at a time. Does anyone know how to fix this?
    This is kind of confusing, on the one hand you say "it says all images are there" and then you directly contradict this by saying "it is only showing 1 card's images at a time".
    Could you explain in a lot more detail what you see (and don't say "it", say exactly what part of Lightroom or what part of your operating system you are looking at), or show us a screen capture?

    I have a serious contacts redundancy problem. 
    First I have multiple email account formats,e.g., 2011 MacOutlook, 2008 Entourage, 2007 Window Outlook, iPhone Exchange and these are all connected to the same account. The problem is I had up to 15 contacts for the same person. 
    I deleted the Entourage contacts as that seemed to be the program that was causing the problems.  When I synced this morning, now all my contacts are gone from every where. 
    How can I restore to my last back?  If I restore, it will ask to restore to the back that was just made… which has no contacts?  
    Help would be greatly appreciated !!

  • Multiple email accounts to MfE?

    Hi,
    quick question: is it possible to get multiple email accounts installed to Mail for Exchange phone client? If not will there a possibility for this in the future?
    Any workarounds for this issue? All help is highly appreciated. We are using E90 models.

    With www.seven.com you can have multiple accounts, but only one can be exchange or notus lotes (to sync contacts, calendar,etc). In addition, you can add accounts for gmail, yahoo, aol, pop, imap, etc. IMHO Seven is better than MFE or Roadsync.
