Adding a shared account with no password to Mac Mail.

Is it possible to add a shared account, without a password, to Mail?
I have an initial account established at work. I receive all my personal email there. I am also part of a team that monitors a shared account. I've seen various how-to's around the web that speak to shared accounts in Mail. Unfortunately those articles are fairly old now. I am running Mail v7.0 on Maverick. When I try to set up this extra account I'm always prompted for a password... which the shared account does not have. Any thoughts?

Can you set it up manually and either not set the password, or set a fake one, then remove it after creating the account.
To manually set up, hold the option key on the screen where you set the email address and password; the Create button will change to Next.

  • How can i delete an icloud account with out password or access to old email

    how can i delete an icloud account with out password or access to old email

    If the old ID ("email address) is yours, and is an ealier version of your current iCloud ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • HT5624 Restore back up of my iPhone-password not recognised. After restore, itunes can not restore because it says the password is incorrect. But I can sign into my apple account with the password.

    Restore back up of my iPhone-password not recognised. After restore, itunes can not restore because it says the password is incorrect. But I can sign into my apple account with the password.  My iPhone is now set to factory settings as a new phone, what can i do to access the back up from my phone before I reset it. 

    That does happen.  It depends on how hard the server is being hit, as well as the connection speed of your system.  If you are on a windows system, you will want to disable any antivirus or firewall software during the download.

  • Mail account with 2 passwords

    I have this requirement. Client uses exchange server. Two people will have the same email account with different passwords.
    To open the mail account, both of them together have to provide the password in 2 steps. Can 2 static passwords can be supported in this scenario or it has to be like 2 step validation with one static password and one dynamic code received through a phone.
    How can the 2 static passwords can be implemented.
    Thanks

    Hi Ramakrishna,
    You seem to be interested in something like 2-factor or
    Multi-factor authentication (MFA), however 2 passwords for single
    AD account is not supported by Active Directory.

  • Why Won't Apple Mail 4.1 Accounts with Folders on the Mac Take in Email?

    Tuesday, October 6, 2009
    3:11 PM  -0800
    I cloned my first generation MacBook Pro to a new and very hot 3.06 dual core.
    I have three mail accounts on Apple Mail 4.1 running on OS 10.6.1. I changed port 25 on SMTP to port 587 as required.
    The two accounts with mailboxes on the Mac, Verizon and Yahoo! Plus, can't receive mail. They turn grey and show that little dinky sign. Connection doctor doesn't specifically tell me what's going on, either.
    I'd love to have a way to check the POP server and it number, but I can't do that with Apple Mail.
    I've taken out and re-created both accounts. I have a lot of email filters and don't want to lose them. I suppose the next thing to do is trash the ~Mail folder bug hold on to the filters. The geniuses at the local Apple outlet say it's something which must be fixed here at my home address.
    Verizon is my major account, by far. I have made the required changes on the SMTP port from 25 to 587. I sure wish I could check the POP ports and their numbers on Apple Mail.

    Greetings,
    I'd love to have a way to check the POP server and it number, but I can't do that with Apple Mail.
    Says who? Of course you can check this; if you couldn't then you also couldn't enter those port numbers, which would make no sense at all.
    *For Incoming Verizon:*
    POP server name is incoming.verizon.net
    POP port number is: 110
    Verizon does not support SSL, but does require Password Authentication.
    You can see both of these in the Advanced tab of Preferences > Accounts
    *For Outgoing Verizon:*
    SMTP server name is outgoing.verizon.net
    SMTP port number is 25
    No SSL, but Password Authentication is required.
    You can view these in the Account Information tab in Preferences > Accounts
    *Incoming Yahoo! Mail Plus:*
    POP server is plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com
    POP Port number is 995
    Check SSL and Pasword Authentication
    *Outgoing Yahoo! Mail Plus:*
    SMTP server is plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com
    SMTP Port number is 465
    Check SSL and Pasword Authentication
    Test it by sending email from each account to the other.

    I have business e-mail accounts that "push" to my mac mail.  do I lose this ability with iCloud?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    No, using an iCloud email account will not affect any other mail account you have in your mail application. You can continue to use them as you have always done.

  • GMail won't accept password using Mac Mail

    I set up my POP access according to Gmail's directions, and can log
    onto the account fine on the web but it won't accept my password using
    Mac Mail. Anyone dealt with this before? Please let me know. Thanks.
    MacBookPro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Please disregard, I've figured out the problem. In case it could help someone else, when asked for the User Name, you have to include the "@gmail.com" where with Apple Mail, you don't have to.

  • Sync with Hotmail folders in Mac Mail

    I was able to connect with Hotmail in the Mac Mail program (ver 3.6 935/935.3) via POP3 settings published at http://mailcall.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!CC9301187A51FE33!49799.entry
    However, I am not able to view any of the folders in my Hotmail. I can do so in Entourage though, like drag and drop emails in different folders within Hotmail. Why can I not do the same here? What else do I need to set / enable for this?
    On the far left pane in the Mac Mail field, I see a section for "MAILBOXES", "REMINDERS", "ON MY MAC" (which contains local folders) and "RSS". Shouldn't I be able to see a section here for folders within Hotmail?
    Please advise.
    Thanks,
    Neeraj

    Yes, what I think may be the case here is that adding a mailbox shows as "On My Mac" so OP is looking for a way to store "Off his Mac". You've also provided a solution for that but may be just a basic misunderstanding of the way Mail works.

  • Sending mail with attachment fails on MAC Mail and WRP400.

    Sending mail with attachment fails on MAC Mail and WRP400.
    We have hundreds of WRP400 connected with Mac (Machintosh) computers. No special configurations are applied (no virtual server or DMZ). Web navigation, P2P programs and sending mail without attachment work right.
    The problem is the impossibility to send mails with medium or big size files attachment from MAC Mail.
    If we use Windows PCs or a different linksys routers (eg. WRT54G) the problem not happens.
    We have upgraded WRP400 firmware version from 1.00.06 to 2.00.05 but the result is the same. Sending mail with attachment using Mac fails.
    We tried to configure WRP400 with DMZ to a particular MAC. We tried to configure Virtual server on tcp 25 port of a MAC. The result is always the same.
    This is a WRP400 bug? Windows PCs work right. MAC and MAC mail works right with other linksys router.
    We need help. Thanks.

    The problem was fixed since beta firmware 2.00.11.
    I think that this issue was caused from a bug that decrease upload bitrate of WRP400 after some days of activity.
    See more details on Cisco forum under title "WRP400 stops responding after browsing certain websites".
    Thanks.

  • I created a second email account with a password but when I try to get mail for it and I put in password it says login failed. Why? and how do I fix it.

    I created second email account ([email protected]) with a Password but when I try to get mail and enter password, it says "Sending of Password did not succeed. Mail server mail.comcast.net responded: login failed". What am I doing wrong?

    Have you logged on to the webmail account using a browser and enabled either Pop or Imap forwarding for that email address?
    Have you created a mail account in Thunderbird that uses the chosen webmail forwarding option?
    Password - make sure caps lock is not switched - it must be the same password you use to access the webmail account.
    check:
    Tools > account Settings > Server Settings
    username = full email address

  • I cannot log into user account with old password after using migration assistant.

    I used Migration Assistant to move only my Settings and Users from my Power PC (User name RLE 5) to my Mac Pro.  Because of what I have read in these forums I did not migrate applications or and files/folders. I will do that manually.  After migrating I tried logging in to my user account RLE 5 on my Mac Pro, but it is telling me I am using the wrong password.  I used the same password I used on my Power PC, but with no luck.  On my Mac Pro I went into System Preferences>Accounts>RLE 5 account and changed the password.  I then rebooted and tried again.  No luck.
    Can somebody help me with this problem?
    Thank you.

    What you propose would not solve the problem I am having.  I must not have been clear about it.  So I will elaborate. 
    I have a Power PC with 10.5.8.  The admin user account name is RLE 5.  I need a password to log into my root user account on my Power PC. 
    Then I bought a used Mac Pro with a clean install of 10.7.5 and no password set up yet for my admin user account.  The admin user account name is Mac Pro.  When I turn on the computer it opens to my admin user account where I have access to everything. 
    I used Migrations Assistant to move my Settings and Users from my Power PC to my Mac Pro.  That seemed to to successfully. 
    So I now have four users on my Mac Pro:  RLE 5 (the admin user from my Power PC with the password), Mac Pro (my admin user which does not require a password), and two guest user accounts.
    I turn on my Mac Pro and it opens to my Mac Pro admin user account.  I don't need to sign in.  No problem. 
    I log out of Mac Pro.  On my screen are the four user accounts.  I click on RLE 5 (which was my admin user account on my Power PC that I migrated over to my Mac Pro) to log into that account and it asks me for a password.  I type in the password I used for my Power PC.  It keeps telling me it is the incorrect password.
    I cannot log into my user account RLE 5 on the Mac Pro.  I am being told I have the incorrect password. I've gone to System Preferences>Accounts and changed the password.  It doesn't make a difference. 
    Also I cannot log into the Guest User account that migrated from the Power PC to the Mac Pro for the same reason.  I have also tried to change the password for that Guest User account also but with no luck. 
    Another interesting thing has happened.  I decided to give my Mac Pro admin user account a password by going to System Preferences>Accounts.  But when I do a test to sign into my admin user account Mac Pro it tells me it is the wrong password.  Luckily I can reboot the computer and it opens to my Mac Pro user without asking for a password.  But if I log out of Mac Pro and try to then sign back in with the password it tells me it is the incorrect password.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

  • Mail Crashing when adding exchange 2007 account with SL

    I tried adding my work exchange to my mail which I currently have gmail and mobileme configured. I enter my info and credentials, accept the certificate (unsigned), and mail crashes immediately.
    I tried moving out the plist and /Library/Mail folded to start from scratch, but I get the same result.
    This did work with my exchange account on another machine (my Mac Pro) with the last beta. I have not had a chance to upgrade it yet. Anyone else have similar problems? Any other ideas to try?

    I was able to figure out a work around. In order to get out of the automatic discovery of my mail server information, I started over at the new account wizard and put in a bogus email domain. Since the wizard did not recognize it, it prompted me to enter the server type and the rest of the settings. Once I entered them manually I was able to add the account. Hopefully there will be a forthcoming permanent fix somewhere down the road.

  • When I create a new account with same password is ...

    Over the course of inactivity it happened that I forgot my passwords. I did not request a reset but created a new account with the same e-mail. Can I have several accounts with the same e-mail? And if so, how do I request a reset of password for a specific username resp. account? I would like to keep the old user accounts for several reasons. But requesting a reset via e-mail will do so on my newest account for which I know the password.
    Am I trying to do something impossible?

    as far as I remember, accounts are tagged as inactive after 6 months of no activity.
