Adding a second email address

I have two email addresses at my ISP Comcast. The first is: [email protected] and has been set up at Thunderbird-it is working fine. Now I want to add my second Comcast email address ([email protected]) to Thunderbird without it interfering with the first address.
Can I add this second email address and if so-HOW?

On the menu, '''File|New|Existing Mail Account…'''
No menu? Press the <alt> key to make it appear temporarily.
Or, via the Application Menu button (the one with three lines that we're not supposed to need to explain because it's so very self-explanatory - I'm not a fan of it!)
click '''[≡]'''
hover over '''New Message'''
click on '''Existing Mail Account'''
(see image below)
Or select an existing account in the left hand pane. Right-click it, select '''Settings'''. A settings window appears. At the bottom of the narrow pane at the left look for '''Account Actions''', click this and select '''Add Mail Account'''.
In all cases, fill in the email address you want to add, and its password, and your name, and click '''Continue'''.
DO NOT click '''Get New Account'''.

  • How to change security questions after adding a second email address?

    I'm at a loss and really really frustrated with Apple for the first time in my life.
    I've added a second email address and tried over the last 3 days on my iPad and Mac to change my security questions. There is no option present that I can see that allows you to do this without first entering the answers. (to which I don't know anymore)
    I called Apple support (even in english) and every time the call has been dropped.
    In all the years since switching to Apple I've always been impressed with the level of customer service. This is the first time that I've felt this level of sincere frustration.
    I'm not sure why I have to book a time to speak with someone. Updating or changing security questions, should be a process one can do over the internet. I'm confused either way why questions are necessary if the apple password entered was correct. It's not my bank account; why the need for such extreme security just to download an app paid for by an iTunes card!
    Any help or direction would be appreciated!!
    Thank you
    Kate

    Hello there, Kate.
    Apologies for your frustration. For your security the existing questions need to be answered before new ones can be created. The following Knowledge Base article provides some additional steps to try if you are unsure of the answers to the existing ones:
    Apple ID: All about Apple ID security questions
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5665
    Specifically:
    What should I do if I don't remember the answers to my Apple ID security questions?
    Try answering them at least once to see if you can get them right, even if you are not sure you remember the answers to your security questions.
    If you are confident you can't remember them, try one of the following:
    If you have three security questions and a rescue email address
    sign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to send an email to your rescue email address to reset your security questions and answers. 
    If you have one security question and you know your Apple ID passwordsign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to reset your security question.
    If you have one security question, but don't remember your Apple ID password
    contact Apple Support for assistance. Learn more about creating a temporary support PIN to help Apple confirm your identity when you contact Apple Support.
    Note: If you have forgotten your password and answer your security questions incorrectly too many times in a row, you will be unable to try to answer your security questions for a period of time. During that time you will not be able to reset your password and will not have access to your account.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • We had a Ipad 1st generation IOS5.  Added second email address for Messaging.  Tested and message came from 1st email address.  How do you get the second address to be the sender?

    Have a 1st generation Ipad IOS5 and added a second email address for messaging.  Tested sending a message to my Iphone and it was received as being sent by the first email address.  How do you select the second email address as the sender of a message?

    Hello slapshot13scotty,
    The information below details where to adjust both where messages are sent from and received.
    Receive iMessages using another email address:
    Go to Settings > Messages > Receive At > Add Another Email.
    Specify the phone number or Apple ID email address that appears in the “from” field when you start a new conversation:
    Go to Settings > Messages > Receive At > Caller ID.
    Existing conversations aren’t affected when you change this setting.

  • I can't get my ICloud started. Each time i try to sign in..it indicates that theres a problem with my email apple address but never indicates what. I added a second email but the same result. Have changed my password numerous times...no result?????

    I have followed the instruction relating to Icloud connection.When i went to system preferences, my Apple address is continually rejected. I have added a second email as suggusted by an Apple site but i still get the same message. Im not told why the Apple ID/email is not accepted when it is accepted in all other Apple sites. I changed my password numerous times to ensure it wasnt the password but to no result. It continued to state that my Apple ID was the problem. I live in Malta,Europe. Have new Apple Mac Pro and Ipod. The annoying thing is that ICloud continually send me the problem notice but do nothing to tell me how to fix it? Can i switch this notice off? Help???????

    Welcome to the Apple community Yao.
    If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID.
    This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
    However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

  • Need second email address for a contact

    I need the ability to add a second email address for a contact. I have tried using ";" and "," characters in the email address line, but get an invalid data format error when saving. Short of adding a custom field, is there any way to do this?
    Neil

    Neil, I believe your only option is adding a custom field.

  • Multiple apple IDs.  Considering adding an icloud email address.

    I've had my apple ID, which is my name, for MANY years.  At some point, I was forced to change my apple ID to an email address.  I changed it to a yahoo.com address, an email address I've had for ages.  Now I have 2 apple IDs.  When I do updates on my computer I often have to log into both because some programs were originally installed with my name only ID, and others later with my yahoo account ID. 
    I've always been confused about Icloud, because I cannot access all of the features because I don't have an @icloud, @mac, or @me email address.  I'm considering adding an icloud email address, but am afraid of what the consequences might be.  I have a completely different email address that I use for all of my regular email.
    Will my name only apple ID change to [email protected]?
    Will the apps that I originally downloaded with the nameonly ID know this? 
    What will happen on my ipad and iphone5? 
    will i need to set up another email account on my iphone so that my pictures will stream to photos?
    Thanks for your help
    Todd.

    You can create an iCloud account using your existing Yahoo.com ID rather than creating a new ID.  (You can use the other one because it has to be in the form of an email address and linked to a verifiable email account.)  To do this you would go to System Preferences>iCloud and sign in with the ID to create the account, then check the data you want to sync with iCloud.  When you check Mail, you will be prompted to create your @icloud.com email address.  This is the email account that goes with your iCloud account, if you wish to use iCloud email.  When you type the name you would like to use for this address, iCloud will search and tell you if it's already taken by someone else, in which case you will have to choose another.  Type carefully, as once created, your @icloud.com address cannot be changed.  Understand that your iCloud account ID will still be your @yahoo.com address.  The @icloud.com address you choose is for email only.
    None of this will effect your existing purchased media using your two Apple IDs.  These will stay the same as purchases are permanently tied to the ID used to purchase them.  Also, Apple will not merge IDs.

  • How do I add a second email address in my email account with Shaw cable

    How do I add a second email address in my email account with Shaw cable. It is already set up with Shaw but how do I add it to my incoming email

    If you are using Apple's Mail setup is: Mail>Preferences>Accounts tab, click the + sign to add an account. You'll need the email account name and password to input on the first screen. Mail should then attempt auto-setup but if it can't do it you'll need to manually add the mail server info, etc.

  • HT4479 I have an Apple ID that's not an email, and I have been told it needs to be an email address.  I change it to my email address and it says my email is already in use.   I only have one email address.  I don't want to create a second email address.

    I have an email account and they want me to use my (same) email account name as my Apple ID.  When I do it says my email is already in use.  Is Apply suggesting I need to create a second email address?

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    Is the email address being used in the account of another Apple ID that you have?

  • HT5312 what about if you have added a rescue email address and verifyed it and the forgot your security question thing still doesnt show because i dont no my security questions ???????????????????????

    what about if you have added a rescue email address and verifyed it and the i forgot my security questions still doesnt show up and i dont no the answers !?!?!?!?!?!?!?! what do i do then because i dont want to phone up !?!?!?! please help !!??!?!?!

    If you have just added an address to your account then it will be an alternate email address - a rescue email address can only be added by answering 2 of your questions. You will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get the questions reset.
    e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
    or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down the page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use, or you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

    and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.

  • IOS5 iMessages won't allow me to register a second email address

    I just installed pIOS 5 and have been trying to register a second email address in iMessages. When I do it returns an error saying the email address is already in use. Has anyone else had and solved the same problem?

    Didn't the link to contact the iTunes Store staff in the 'Additional Information' section of that article work for you? If you don't already have a valid rescue email address, only Apple itself can reset the questions.
