Can I set up two pop accounts?

I need to add an additional email address that has a different incoming server. Is this possible? Every time I try to add a new pop account it tells me I've already set one up, which is true...I just need more.

Welcome to all three new participants to the Discussions.
We are going to need to confirm that the Mail folder is where it is supposed to be, and then look in it to see if there is some structural problem. This should not be happening, as adding a new account, whose Username and Incoming Server are unique, and do not repeat those of another account, should work fine, just as you expect.
In the Finder open your Home folder -- the folder that will open when you click on the House Icon in any Finder window. Once the Home folder is open (indicated also by the symbol ~), open the Library, and check to see that the Mail folder is properly at the root level of this user Library? If present, as expected, open the Mail folder, and verify the presence of at least one POP account folder -- it will typically have reference to both the server name and email address in its name.
More info, please.

    How can I set up two separate accounts on one shared iPad?

    The iPad is meant to be a single user device.
    It is possible to use multiple ID's on an iOS device, but when you switch ID's and download content with another ID, you associate the device with that ID for 90 days and lock yourself out of the other ID for that 90 day period.
    So while it is possible, it's not advisable.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You can add more than one account to your iPad, but you can only have one primary account. Secondary accounts which you can add at settings> mail, contacts, calendars do not have all the features of a primary account such as photo stream.

    At the moment you can only use one iCloud account, per user account, on your computer.

  • Can I set up two ITune accounts on one MacBook?

    Can I set up two seperate ITune accounts on one MacBook? If so, how?

    Exactly what do you mean by set up?
    In iTunes you can authorize more than one iTunes accounts using the 'Authorize This Computer…' command under the Store menu. Run the commend twice for each account.
    Here's an article that explains what I'm talking about.

  • Can i set up two emails accounts on the mail function tab and switch between them

    I would like to be able to set up two email accounts on the mail tab on the Iphone 5 and switch between them, is this possible?

    Yes it is possible to set up multiple accounts but you cannot switch between them in the mail app.  What you can do in settings/mail etc is have one set as active an dthe other as inactive and you can change that from time to time if you want

  • Trying to set up two POP accounts - won't work

    Hi there,
    I am trying to set up a second Yahoo account on Mail. It shares the same incoming and outgoing server as my original account I use through Mail. But the user name is different. I can't log in with this new email address. It keeps throwing up the message:
    'trying to log into the POP server "pop.mail.yahoo.com.au" has failed. Please make sure the username and password are correct. If you continue, you may not be able to receive any mail.'
    This IS true, if I continue with the set up of this account, I'm not able to receive any incoming mail.
    I have tried this countless times. I DEFINITELY have the right username and password for this second account.
    Is it not possible to set up another POP account with a different user name but the same server name?

    What targeting the Mail.app preference file, do the following:
    Quit the Mail.app first and using the Finder, go to Home > Library > Mail. Copy the Mail folder and place the copy on the Desktop for backup purposes.
    Using the Finder, go to Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.mail.plist. Move the com.apple.mail.plist file to the Desktop.
    Note: Moving the com.apple.mail.plist file out of the Preferences folder will require re-entering all email account information when re-launching Mail.
    The only exception to this is if you have a .Mac account which will be recreated automatically and/or if you created an email account as part of the computer setup assistant when first turning on the computer when new.
    Launch Mail and decline any prompt to import mailboxes. After re-entering all email account information, the Mail.app should rediscover the existing account named folders and mailbox files at Home > Library > Mail.
    After confirming all mailboxes were successfully rediscovered, you can delete the copy of the Mail folder and old com.apple.mail.plist file from the Desktop.
    Test if this resolves the problem.

  • How can I set up two iCloud accounts

    I want to set up two different iCloud accounts for my wife and I. We both use the same account for buying apps but we want different iCloud accounts. How do I do that? Can I do that?  Thanks for the help!

    You can set up separate iCloud accounts for each of you and sign into your account on both your iPhone and iPad.
    To change the account on her phone, go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account, choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted.  (This only deletes the account from her phone; not from iCloud.)  Then sign in with a different ID to create her new account (and use this ID for iMessage and FaceTime too).  After setting up the account on her phone, she can then sign in with the same ID on her iPad to sync iCloud data between her devices.
    You can then sign into you iCloud account using your ID on your devices, and both of you can continue to share the same ID in Settings>iTunes & App Stores.

  • Can I set up two email accounts?

    I have set up my Gmail account in Firefox. I now wish to set up a different Gmail account which I use for community purposes. Can I have more than one account in Firefox, as I had in MS Outlook?

    Use Private Browsing as a workaround
    * [[Private Browsing - Browse the web without saving information about the sites you visit]]
    Whether you are permitted to have more than one Gmail account is down to Google and the T&C of their services. That is totally outside the scope of this forum.
    What you may be trying to discover is how to open two different webmail accounts for use and viewing simultaneously in Firefox
    Consider though the situation where two separate users have gmail accounts or other webmail accounts and use the same Firefox instance. That is not really something to be recommended, but maybe say husband and wife or a pair of siblings use the same Firefox instance. (So they share the same profile, same bookmarks same cookies etc).
    In such a case it would probably not ordinarily be possible to keep two separate webmail accounts open in Firefox. The solution is to open the second webmail account in a Private Browsing Window with any luck that would work and keep the two accounts page's separated

  • How can I share between 2 different accounts.  we have a clinic that serves pediatics and unfortunately, they set up two different accounts within our agency.

    How can we share between two different accounts on the same iPad?  We have a therapy clinic with 2 devices and want to share apps. I did not set up the second one, but how can we fix this ?

         Hi Rosdy, to get the most out of iCloud it is recommended that you use the same account between devices. Thus whenever you buy something on your phone it becomes accessible from your laptop regardless of whether your synced it over usb or not. *
         For more information on iCloud usage please click here.
    * This feature requires that both devices be on the same WiFi network.
