Adding a mail account for second user

I am the administrator on this imac. I use mac mail and have a mobileme account as well. I have another user on the computer, who has just signed up for mobile me, and wants to retrive her mail from the imac when logged into her account. How do I set up mac mail on the imac, so the app in her doc only reflects her email account? If I add her mobileme address to accounts in mail preferences on the imac, her mail is showing up in my mail page? How can I get the mail app to launch in her account on the imac, and keep it separate from mine? Thanks.

As long as you are logged into her user account on the iMac, then creating accounts in the Mail app should only be her mail.

  • Setting up different e-mail accounts for different users?

    Hello:
    I have three different users with three loggin id's on my iMac. My e-mail account is set up so that I get all e-mail on my mac when I log in. Can I set up the other 2 users with their own e-mail addresses? How?
    Thanks

    You would have to have your ISP set up addresses for them, then they can configure Mail or what ever program you use, to pick it up using their own identities.

  • Can't "Add Accounts" for second User on machine

    Just upgraded from my G4 running 10.4.x to a Mini running 10.5.2. There are two user log ins on the machine. I set up my e-mail accounts in Mail on my "side" of the machine, but my partner cannot "Add Accounts" in Mail on their side of the machine---in Mail's "File" menu, "Add Accounts" is greyed out. Any solution?

    quit Mail and move the file homedirectory/library/preferences/com.apple.mail.plist to desktop. start mail. You'll have to recreate your account. once created they'll recognize the existing mailboxes.

  • I want to secure my email account for other users of the i-pad. Is this possible?

    I want to secure my e-mail account for other users of the i-pad....
    Is this possible???

    no.
    The only way is if you use a webmail app - not the included e-mail app - so you can password protect it online.
    The iPad is meant to be a single user device so it has no protocols to partition off any part of it (beyond what restrictions allow)

  • When opening my Outlook 2010 with new added e-mail account with Exchange Server, I have to click manually on my standard e-mail account for checking mail

    When opening my Outlook 2010 with new added e-mail account with Exchange Server supplied by my employer, I have to click manually on my standard e-mail account for checking mail. Do I have to upgrade my Microsoft Office 2010 or how can I make my Outlook
    2010 check all my four e-mail accounts without manually click on my accounts?
    Sincerely

    Hello Ketil,
    Good Day...
    Seems to be the Issue is Syncing emails, now I would recommend you to Remove and Add the Account and try and check if the emails are getting synced automatically.
    Hope this is with Single User. If it is with Multiple Users then we need to check the permissions assigned.

  • I am trying to set up e-mail on a second user account but mail preferences is grayed out.  I have looked at some posts which indicate it could be corrupt file and say to deletee .plist but I cannot find that at all.  Any suggestions?

    I am trying to set up a Mail account for a second user.  I have made the user account but when I try to set up Mail, it fails as if the password or e-mail is incorrect but I know it is correct.  When I try to go to Mail preferences, it is grayed out.  Any suggestions?

    1. If you haven't tried this already, just delete the user account entirely, and then try setting it up again.
    2. To find the permissions file:
         a. hold down the option key
         b. go to the Go menu in the finder
         c. scroll down to Library and open it
         d. in Library, go to Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Preferences
         e. drag it to the trash and restart.
    3. if that doesn't work, go to Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access. In the Keychain Access menu, do Keychain First Aid, and repair.
    This should keep you busy for a while.

  • How do I set up a mail account for an older macbook?

    I'm trying to set up a mail account for my dad on a used (but refurbished) macbook. It's running 0SX10.6.8. I'm not sure how to configure the incoming and outgoing mail servers. I didn't have to do this for my macbook air and my brother did not have to do it for his pro. I don't know if im supposed to use POP or IMAP. A window will pop up asking  for the account type, incoming mail server, user name, and password. I don't know what to do from here.

    Hello,
    Your Internet/email service provider should be able to tell you exactly what to enter. You may also want to take a look at the following web page:

    I've already had to update the dovecot.conf once <http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3792>, but I can't tell if this is on the Dovecot side or the OD side.

    Many thanks to Apple Enterprise Tech Support.
    The access control list for mail was not set to all users and groups.
    To fix:
    (1) In Server Admin, select the server.
    (2) Select the 'Access' panel.
    (3) Select the 'Mail' service'
    (4) Set the radio button to 'Allow all users and groups'.
    Previously I'd had mail restricted to 'only users and groups below'.

  • Can I use one itunes account for multiple users and multiple devices

    Can I use one itunes account for multiple users and multiple devices?

    The iTunes EULA, as I understand it (I'm not an attorney )for Apps is basically that one person can use an App multiple devices, or multiple people can use an App one device..so one to many or many to one, but not many to many....

    How to Use Multiple iDevices with One Computer

  • Why can't I use my normal mail account for synching notes

    Hi there,
    I maintain my father's iDevices/computers as he has Parkinsons and does not understand the technology behind how these services work. I need to maintain as simple a configuration as possible. As an example calendaring is difficult as new entries are not necessarily put in the calendar he uses and I have to talk him through how to show all calendars on a regular basis. I can't have his mail on IMAP as he cannot manage his mail and his mailbox fills up. I can't simply pay for storage ad infinitum - my local copy of his mail is about 6 GB and growing.
    I have seen several discussions where it is clear that we *must* use an icloud.com e-mail account for synching notes via IMAP, but none of them have explained WHY I MUST USE @icloud.com e-mail. If this is an IMAP based service why can't I use any other IMAP server
    I see that it is referred to as an "icloud account" but if I have to enable mail, it becomes an e-mail account, which I do not want as it will be confusing if there is an issue with the main mail server (which I maintain) it will present an option to use the icloud.com e-mail as a valid option to send the mail.
    I do not turn on the mail option in icloud.. (only calendar, contacts, reminders and find my iphone). I find it dissapointing that this is now what seems to be a "requirement".

    That is absolutely unnecessary, but more convenient to have icloud to sync your notes. I use other IMAPs as well and can sync my notes with google and yahoo and icloud(corresponding email is required in all cases). It is your choice and you can pick your poison, but you will find out that icloud is more convenient after you or him will lose his info few times. There is no requirement, you can even use the group that will not sync with anything "on my device" if you disable all of IMAPS. Icloud is just the one that you can call Apple and normally people prefer to work with Apple support way more then with google's or yahoo's, but that is again up to your preference.

  • Lion Server Mobile accounts for Macbook users

    Hi All,
    I'm looking for a 'Best Practice' when setting up mobile accounts for Macbook users who just want to be able to use their machine away from the office.
    We DON'T want to sync anything, just create a mobile account on the Mac (a bit like a domain profile on a PC).
    I understand that this can be configured through workgroup manager in preferences for either the machine or the user account.
    What should the mobility settings be set to? Obviously the Account creation box is ticked but what should the 'Create home using' settings be ?
    Thanks Trappers

    I figured out how to delete the user from the command line.
    I used Remote Desktop to send as Root: dscl . -delete /Users/userID
    Where userID is the user's shortname.
    You could also log in locally and use the terminal to send:
    sudo dscl . -delete /Users/userID

    Router (config)# password encryption aes
    Router (config)# crypto ipsec client ezvpn ezvpn1
    Router (config-crypto-ezvpn)# username server_1 password 0 blue
    if you are using easy vpn.
