Best setup for multiple email accounts

I have 8 email accounts in my iphone 3G and it seems that many times it gets "hung" up on the first one (gmail) because it just says "connecting". The only way to solve it is to turn the phone off and then on again, which I'm doing several times a day. For now, I have every account set to manual fetch. Any suggestions on how to solve this issue, and the best way to setup the fetching, etc.?

Note sure what G mail is, but if it involves another isp email provider not interested, I have multiple accounts as a garbage dump for spam possibilities too much spam on one account bye bye. Usually 2 main email accounts though. btw, not a memory issue either. still plenty left. Was looking at the contacts thread and there is receiving/sending issues with email since 2.0 update anyway.

Best practice for multiple email accounts

Hello
I have set up a Mac mini server with virtual hosts. So, how is the best practice to set up email accounts for each host? I want to have emails like
[email protected]
[email protected]
and
[email protected]
[email protected]
and so on.
Should I create groups for each domain, and then user "info" and "contact" in each group. Or just add a user something like "infomysite1" and have a second short name "[email protected]"
Advices are welcome
Best regards, Magnus

If user1@domain1 and user1@domain2 are the same person then you just add the other domain to Hosting-> Local Host Aliases. Same user will get all mail for both domains.
However, I'm presuming that the user1@domain1 and user1@domain2 are two separate people (i.e., same name but different mail account). If so...
See Chapter: A Mail Service Virtual Host in Apple's Mail Services Administration PDF download at http://www.apple.com/server/macosx/resources/documentation.html
Also, see MakingVirtual_Mail_Users_in_OS_XServer.pdf from http://osx.topicdesk.com (downloads sections)
The topicdesk pdf was written for 10.5 server but I think it is still applicable to 10.6 (but follow the Apple doc just in case). However, it is good for explaining why you might want postfix-style aliases rather than the simpler Apple server-style aliases.

How do I set individual sound alerts for multiple email accounts?

How do I set individual sound alerts for multiple email accounts?

Here: http://www.guidingtech.com/15275/get-different-notifications-per-mail-account-io s-6/
Long and short of it, the settings can be individually changed under Notifications. Select Mail and then the account you want to change the sound to.

Can i have different alert tones for Multiple email accounts?

Would like to have different alert tones for each email account. Is there a way to accomplish it?

Hi there, DawgFan1980!
I understand the purpose of the different notification sounds. The iPhone only allows 1 tone for e-mail accounts. At this time, this cannot be changed.
Thank you,

Issue having seperate data pushes for multiple email accounts

I've always had gmail set up through my phone. I love push and don't receive any issues using it.I recently added a 2nd, work email (exchange) to my phone. However, I'd prefer to manually check the exchange account while leaving my gmail on push. I can't seem to figure it out though. My best guess was to go:
settings>mail>fetch new data>advanced.
I have my gmail on push and my exchange on manual. I would assume the advance settings override the push and fetch settings on the primary "fetch new data" screen. However, nothing seems to be working the way I want it to. Sometimes my phone will auto-update my exchange, sometimes i'll get gmail belated, etc.
If anyone could please advise the proper settings for both the primary screen as well as the advance settings in order to have my exchange on manual and gmail on push.
Thanks

Best solution for 2 email accounts?

To complete my family's migration from the PC, I want to setup my wife's email account on the mini. I want to make it as easy as possible for her to use email without getting it mixed up with mine. Would it be simpler to set up a second email account under my user account or just add a user account for her.
She doesn't really use the computer a lot so she doesn't necessarily need her own user account, but I can see the advantages with her having her own computer settings, bookmarks, and address book. If we did it that way, would we be able to share documents and pictures?

It would be better in a variety of ways for her to have her own user account on the system, thus allowing her to have her own mail account settings, system preferences, bookmarks etc - not to mention giving a degree of privacy to you both.
You can share documents, pictures etc by placing them in the 'users/shared' folder. All users can see into that folder.

Organzing & setup for many email accounts

Hi,
I run a number of websites/domains and each has a number of email accounts that I need to adminster. In my last email client on a PC, I could create seperate "boxes" for each domain and then in each box, create as many email accounts and addresses as needed.
How can I do this with Mail without logging out and switching users? It seems like I can create as many seperate email accounts, but they're all lumped in together in one box. In other words, I don't want to check 32 email accounts when I'm just trying to check the 4 accounts for www.domain-x.com, and then afterward check for www.domain-z.com's accounts - without signing off.
Thanks a lot!

Managing contacts for multiple email accounts

I am (as of yesterday) a convert from a Blackberry to the iPhone 4s (IOS 5.0.1) (32GB)
I have had iTune (10.5) on my computer for a long time, but strictl to manage an iPod for email accounts - no contacts or calendars involved. And I have never played with iCloud before.
When I purchased my iPhone at BestBuy, they copied my BB contacts to my iPhone local contacts.
FWIW, on my BB, I used BB Desktop Manager to synchronize selected Outlook contacts to my BB.
   Outlook, in turn, was used to talk to Exchange on my corporate network.
What I would like to do is a follows:
a)     Use Exchange, Gmail and Yahoo email all come to my iPhone. This is already being done.
b)     Using iTunes (or whatever) sychronize selected Outlook contacts to my iPhone
              I am assuming this is different than using the iPhone to synchronize Exchange contacts via Push. And I don't want to sync all 5K Exchange contacts with my iPhone, just the ~500 selected contacts in Outlook. All togethter there are about 1000 contacts in Outlook, 500 of which were marked with a sync category.
c)     Bonus points if I could take my Gmail and Yahoo contacts (all personal and mostly not in Outlook and certainly not in Exchange) and get them synched to my iPhone as well.
             I noted that there was an option to synch Yahoo with the phone and keep (at the risk of duplicates) local contacts. I did not see such an option for Gmail. What I did see was that there was an option to call Gmail an Exchange Account, and then synch contacts; but only if I really didn't have a Microsoft Exchange account defined, which I do.
How, if at all would iCloud fit into this picture

I recently saw news of an app to enable this, I think. The workflow was something like you open up the app, select a signature, then hit a button and it takes you to Mail and pre-pastes the signature into a new mail message. So I don't think it would work for replies.
I'm afraid I have no idea where I saw it discussed. Search the App Store?

Can I set up alerts for multiple email accounts? (...

I have two hotmail accounts set up on my Nokia E71.
For some reason I only get alerts for the second account I added.
I have gone through every setting/preferance menu I can think of to see if there's a difference but can find none.
Can anyone think of what I'm missing? If anything, I would have expected an alert for the original email.
I want to make sure I am getting the maximum benefit and use out of this phone and email alerts would be great (I phoned my carrier's tech support and they said the E71 has NO alerts for any mails so that was clearly incorrect)

Are you using the built-in email client?
If you are, double check the "New Email Alerts" option. This is under <Settings> -> <E-mail> -> <choose mailbox> -> <User Settings> -> <New Email Alerts>

IOS Signature Settings for Multiple Email Accounts causes crashes and errors

Hello Everyone,
I've been having troubles with iOS email signature for severals years from iOS 4 (?) through iOS 7 on everything ranging from an iPad2, iPad3, IPad Air, and various iPhones. I'm currently on an iPad Air 128GB WiFi running iOS 7.1.2.
I have about 12 email accounts. I have it set to a unique signature per account. Whenever I try to scroll the list of signatures in the settings app, it will often have greyed out areas where a signature is supposed to be (especially after adding a new account). Other accounts will blur together and overlap each other. Very often the whole settings app crashes. Once the crashes start, they happen more frequently and you basically have to Power Off and Restart the iPad to get it back to a somewhat stable state.
I've come to accept that the Mail Signatures is broken and not stable. But maybe I'm just doing it wrong. So, I ask you great and wonderful Apple Community: Any suggestions? Or just keep on like I've been doing for the last several years?
Thank you!
Paul Holje

this crash has been present since ios6 (apparently). it's apparently caused by a buffer overflow (i've not yet examined the crash files i've been generating) because the engineers never tested use cases such as yours or mine.
a painful workaround is to disable all your email accounts but one, edit its signature, then disable it, and enable the next one, and so on. ios saves the correct signature for each account and the settings app crash does not occur.
hope this helps

Auto signatures for multiple email accounts-iPhone

I currently have both my personal and work emails accounts set up on my iPhone. I created an automatice signature which I want to use only on my work account, but it also shows on when I send an email from my personal account. Does anyone know how to use an automatic signature for only one account? Thanks!

there's no fully automatic version available that I have found however there's an App called @Signature which allows you to create unique signatures for mail accounts or even have different signatures for the same account.
All you have to remember is that when you create an email, you use the App rather than mail as it inserts the correct signature into a blank email created by Mail. It still defaults to one email account so its far form perfect but at least it stores the correct signatures.

Multiple Signatures, for Multiple Email Accounts

I've seen in other topics that we can only have 1 signature in the iPhone Mail Application. Any 'new' work-arounds, save for manually typing in a signature in a 2nd, or 3rd email account?
Thanks

I am not receiving all of my emails in thundebird for multiple email accounts.

I have been using Thunderbird fo rover a year with no issues. All of the sudden, I am unable to receive all of my emails. I can see the missing emails on my phone or ipad, but not on my computer on the Thunderbird account. it appears to be displaying only a select few emails. How do I rectify this?

Have you changed anything recently, e.g. new phone and iPad?
What's the account type on those devices?

Can you establish different sounds for multiple emails?

Can you establish different sounds for multiple email accounts?

Sorry no, sound/alerts is universal for different email accounts.

How do I set a preference for opening one of multiple email accounts first?

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.
