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.

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.

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.

The BEST solution for gmail on the iPhone

OK, so after much poking around, I finally figured out the best solution for using gmail on the iPhone: IMAP support.
While I think Google is still rolling this out to all users, once you get it, USE IT! It basically keeps your mail app synced with gmail, and even supports the use of folders/labels.
To see if your gmail account is ready for IMAP, go to the settings option in gmail and see if one of the tabs says "Forwarding and POP/IMAP." If you don't have IMAP available on your account yet, it won't say IMAP.
Here's some links to get you started:

how actions in your mail app sync to gmail:
https://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=77657
I hope this helps out everyone as much as it's helped me. I was a little frustrated before using POP, but gotta love IMAP! I'm not too sure the impact that this has on your battery life, but so far it's working well for me. Enjoy!

Gmail and IMAP have totally change my tune about the iPhone's email abilities. I was getting frustrated with the inability to reliably get mail (Message has not been downloaded...), sync (have to delete mail from both iPhone and desktop Mac), etc., but now I have all my POP email accounts automatically forward to my Gmail account, and I only check Gmail with the iPhone and MacPro. So far, it's a whole new iPhone experience! No more errors - ALL mail comes through perfectly - and no need to manually sync!
Note that, when setting up the Gmail/IMAP accounts, do NOT simply update your old POP Gmail settings on your Mac or iPhone! Start with a FRESH new account. I couldn't get either the iPhone or Mac to work until I started with a fresh account.
Also, I was unable to send mail from the iPhone using the smtp.gmail address, so I had changed the outgoing mail setting to use my regular ISP's smtp address. But, at some point (a few minutes later or a few hours, I don't know) when I checked the Gmail settings on the iPhone, it had magically changed itself to smtp.gmail, with the port number, and it has been working perfectly ever since! Maybe IMAP can atomatically correct this info? Not sure.
One more thing. Once you have Gmail IMAP working, then you MUST go here:
http://5thirtyone.com/archives/862
Follow these directions exactly. This is a necessary set of steps in order to make your iPhone and Mac sync correctly, so that trashed mail on the iPhone will go in the trash on your desktop Mac, etc. It's pretty freaky to check email on the iPhone, and then go to your Mac Mail a few minutes later, and see all the newly trashed (or saved/read) emails perfectly synched up!
A final note. Once this is all working and synching, remember that if you delete an email on your iPhone, it gets deleted on the desktop Mac Mail as well (and vice-versa)... which is exactly what you want to happen, but I find that I have to remember to keep the mail that I want to save on the iPhone's inbox until I get back to my desktop Mac. Otherwise, I have to manually remove it from the trash to save it!

Using multiple email accounts, smtp from provider, sender's address is the same for all email accounts

Ok
I'm sure this is an issue for many of us, but I cant find a solution for this on the net.
So I had set up multiple email accounts. My main account is gmail, but I'm using several others. The smtp server had to be the same which was from my ISP for all email accounts (apart from gmail which has it's own).
Now, when I send email from these accounts, the sender's address will always be ***@virginmedia.co.uk. Obviously, since thats what the smtp is for.
But what if I want to send emails from these accounts and want to be the sender accordingly? like ***@yahoo.com or ***@freemail.com etc...
Is there a way to get around these? If they dont have their own smtp servers? Or they can only be used to send emails through their web-based email page?
Hope it makes sense, sorry for my crap english.
Thanks
Daniel

Different Notification for different email accounts

On my old blackberry I was able to set up different number of vibration for my different email account so I would know right away which account the email was on. Is it possible to do the same on the Z10?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hey hinjeyan,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
Currently you can not setup notifications for different email accounts on the BlackBerry Z10. There is no estimated time when this feature will be back.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Cheers.

Knowing who is your email provider would be a good starting point.
Your ISP?
One of the big free providers? e.g. googlemail, live mail/outlook.com/hotmail, yahoo, gmx/1and1?
Your webhost?

You appear to have two issues: 1) a hard drive that is not working properly and 2) files you wish to recover.
Re 1) you need to answer Kappy's questions.
Re 2) does the drive load and can you see your photo files? If so can you copy them to another drive?
Do you not have a backup of the photo files?

SQL Server 2012 - Wat Is The Best Solution For Creating a Read Only Replicated/AlwaysOn Database

Hi there I was wondering if someone may have a best recommendation for the following requirement I have with regards setting up a third database server for reporting?
Current Setup
SQL Server 2012 Enterprise setup at two sites (Site A & Site B).
Configured to use AlwaysOn Availability groups for HA and DR.
Installed on Windows 2012 Servers.
This is all working and failover works fine and no issues. So…
Requirement
A third server needs to be added for the purpose of reporting, to be located on another site (Site C) possibly in another domain. This server needs to have a replicated read only copy of the live database from site A or Site B, whichever is in use. The Site
C reporting database should be as up-to-date to the Site A or Site B database as possible – preferably within a few seconds anyway….
Solution - What I believe are available to me
I believe I can use AlwaysOn and create a ReadOnly replica for the Site C. If so do I assume Site C needs to have the Enterprise version of SQL server i.e. to match Site A & Site B?
Using log shipping which if I am correct means the Site C does not need to be an Enterprise version.
Any help on the best solution for this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Steve

for always on - all nodes should be part of one windows cluster..if there site C is on different domain - I do not think it works.
Logshipping works --as long as the sql on site C is is same or higher version(sql 2012 or above). you can only do read only.
IMHo, if you can make site C in the same domain then, Always is better solution else log shipping
also, if your database has enterprise level features such as - partitonin, data compression -- you cannot restore the database on lower editions- so you need to have enterprise edition.
Hope it Helps!!

What is teh best solution for my Problem??

hello everyone
i'am planing to develop a Patient Management System (PMS)
since i 'm not that guru in the J technologies i would like you to get me some help with this decision:
what is the best solution for developeing an intranet "PMS" which should handles data (connection to postgresql) and runs some algorithm (for planing puropose) im background ??
1 developeing a web based solution (servlet and jsp and and ..)
2 developeing an application wich will be manging everything ??? (a kind of programm with its own GUI)
3 you may have an other idea solution and ill be gald for any advices
ps sorry for my english its not that great ;)

Web applications are all the rage these days and IMO rightly so as they greatly reduce deployment cost and headaches.
They do have some drawbacks though which for you might be important.
I can imagine that sooner or later (probably sooner in my experience) a requirement to interface with hardware installed on the client machines will emerge.
Whether this is a barcode scanner or a chipcard reader to get client information from some form of card issued to the client, or maybe a label printer to print out labels for medication bottles doesn't matter, you need to access the client machine directly.
Web applications have great difficulty with that (in fact, it's all but impossible).
You could go for an applet solution but that's contrived at best and still leaves the same problems.
So in your situation an old-fashioned client/server application (maybe using web services to communicate with the serverside application) is likely the best longterm solution.
You'd have the database remote so everyone has access to the same data, being accessed through processes run on the server and called by the clients. These can also do most of the business logic, leaving the clients relatively dumb responsible mainly for data validation and entry and presentation of the results.
