The only way to do so is with an IMAP account via server stored mailboxes which must be created with an email client used on your computer or via webmail access for the account using a browser. Once an additional server stored mailbox is created and available on the server, it will also be available on the iPhone automatically.
This is not available with a POP account.

  • Just got my other new ipad yesterday and am setting it up.  Wanting to use the same e-mail address but won't let me.  Any idea's.  We would like to be able to get into e-mails on both ipads. Thanks.

    Just got my other ipad2 yesterday and would like to use the same e-mail that I use on the other one, but it won't let me. Any idea how to set that up.  I thought you could have like 5 on one acct.  Thanks.

    No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
    As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that.

  • How do I set up extra folders in mail to store emails

    How do I set up folders in mail to store my emails?

    You can't set up extra folders on the iPad Mail App. As Barry stated, you have to set up the folders on your computer in your web mail. Then you sync your email account to the iPad via iTunes in order to get the folders on the iPad.

    I'm as a loss. I don't understand why today's folder "2014-06-06" won't let me add "_Kim" to the end. I do it will all my folders since I download from a couple of cameras.

    any difference and it hasn't ever been an issue before.

  • I am unable to sync my old Itunes library to the IMac I purchased last month, I tunes wants to erase the old library except for the ITunes I have purchased. Any ideas  out there?

      I am unable to sync my old Itunes library to the IMac I purchased last month, I tunes wants to erase the old library except for the ITunes I have purchased. Any ideas  out there?

    - You can only syncewith one iTunes library.  It sounds like you change libraries such as changing the computer.
    - As you may know you can transfer iTunes' pruchases to a new computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - This previous discussion provide info on how to move other music from an iPod to a computer:
    Best iPod to PC
    - You can also manage music with different computers by:
    Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
    - If you need more help please provide more information.

  • All of a sudden, I am no longer able to send e-mails (tho I still receive them). the error message says "outgoing server failed" Any ideas?

    All of a sudden, I am no longer able to send e-mails (tho I still receive them). the error message says "outgoing server failed" Any ideas?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost       
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Can you send email from that account on another device?
    - You can try deleing the account from the iPod and reentering the settings.

    I have been getting emails but recently I switch on and just find blank screen but the app says I am getting mail this is now happened to me twice any ideas?

    Quit mail like this.
    Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it wiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal. Then restart the app and see if it works normally.

  • TS4083 Is there a way or a setting my folders in Mail to automatically update across all devices? if I transfer an email to a folder for follow-up on my PC, my folder in Mail on my iPhone doesn't update until I actually go into the folder and update manua

    Is there a way (or a setting) for my individual folders in Mail to automatically update across all devices? For example, if I transfer an email to a folder for follow-up on my PC - say 10th of the following month - the same folder in Mail on my iPhone doesn't update until I actually go into the folder and update manually.  Interestingly though, if I create a new folder on any of my devices they automatically appear on the other devices so it is just the actual contents that I am referring to here.  Appreciate any help or guidance.
    Regards

    You can turn mail off in the settings but then you can't use it for anything, including the "test" that you want to perform.
    Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Account Name>Mail>Off. That totally turns off the mail account.
    As long as mail is turned on and you launch the app, it will look for an download new mail.

  • Setting up folders in mail for iphone 4 & a grumble or two

    So i have this new iphone 4 and I am having difficulties setting up folders inside my inbox.  For example I would like to set up folders for Junk Mail and Read It Later but I don't want to set up another email account to do so.
    Almost all of my settings on my iphone are by accident not design, lol.
    And even though I have rung the apple service centre on numerous occassions:
    my iphone has turned itself off because it overheated and I was told by apple technical support to turn the phone off at night!!!
    and it wants recharging after five hours of continuous use;
    so - I am having serious issues with Apple actually calling the iphone4 a "mobile".
    End of grumble.
    If anyone can help me with the folder setup in mail, I would appreciate it.

    The ability to create folders in the mail app is dependent on the type of email account that you have. It is not quite like Outlook where you can set up local folders no matter what type of account you have. The iPhone email client does not support the creation of folders if you are using a POP account. Only if you are using Exchange or IMAP, as those are created on the server side. The overheating issue sounds as if something is stuck running since it is running the battery down that fast. However, it makes me want to question what you mean by 5 hours of continuous use. Do you mean using for 5 hours straight, or it being in standby for a period of time as well?

  • Setting up folders for mail accounts.

    Hello all. I am 3 day old mac owner (got a MacBook) and I need some help with Mail.app.
    I have two pop accounts set up and all is well but I can't for the life of me figure out how to set up folders in each account for certain types of mail to be placed in. For instance I would like my wife's emails to automagically be placed in it's own folder for said account so I don't have to see or worry about them. Is this possible? I'd like to have folders for bills, family, friends, etc and any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

    you would do this through creating folders, and then creating rules. however you have to have distinct attributes for the rules to pic up on.
    if i understand correctly you have your pop account and your wifes. if you notice on inbox, there is an arrow next to it, you can drop it down and see each individual account so you dont view them all together.
    i would also suggest that maybe you create an entirely different user for your wife, then neither of you would ever have to deal with sorting between each others emails.
    to add a folder, there is a plus sign at the lower left hand corner of mail, click it and the location you want to create should be "on my mac," then to set up a rule you go to preferences and then rules, the rules should make sense, but if not just ask.
    i realise this may not exactly solve all the issues, but will probably get you at least closer, and then just ask anything else.
