Configure: two email addresses in one family : mail both
I have had some annoyance when working with mail/address book and how they handle couples or families with multiple email addresses in one contact card.
It may be that I am not using it properly.
For instance:
Contact: Matthew and Amy Smith
email addresses: [email protected] and [email protected]
When I type in matthew in Mail.app I am only allowed to choose one, lets say its mine. I then have to retype matthew in order to go to find amy's email address, and then in the TO: field both contacts say "Matthew Smith".
I would think there is a better way to handle this than to record EVERYONE seperately in a family?
Any thoughts would be extremely helpful,
Thanks,
Matthew
Here is how I do it.
It is a little bit of a hack, but it works for me.
1) Create an 'Organization' card for the family or entity.
2) Leave the first and last name fields blank.
3) Fill in the company name in a way so you can find it and
so it will alphabitize nicely. e.g. "Smiths, John and Sue"
4) Create email fields of the form:
John Smith <[email protected]>
5) Enter the 'name' part of the address, e.g. 'John Smith'
in the address fields of the email.
6) Or, when you call up the address applet you can go to the entry
and see all the alternative addresses.
They will each show up in the mail headers as addresses to:
Name <email_address>
[u]Note[/u]: You [b]must[/b] leave both the 'first' and 'last' name fields blank.
(The name field is the N:;;;; line ion the vCard file.)
If you fill them in then when adding one of the email addresses, it will list
the 'first last' name fields as the name of the person being addressed
instead of the individual names in the email address field.
Here is a vcard of my template.
Paste it into a text file, save it as template.vcf ,
then double click it into your addressbook.
It will add a template to the addressbook so you can see exactly what I mean.

Hi, I use two email addresses within one account with gmx.
I created one account with the first email address now. How do I add the second one to this account?
Now it looks like this.
One account was opened with address A.
I receive in this account emails for address A and B.
But I can only write and answer with address A.Hi Rudegar,
Sorry for my late reply.
It s not the amount of accounts I'm struggling with.
When I create now for both email addresses one account, then I receive the same emails two times.
That is not what I want.
Because on gmx the two email addresses have the same inbox and outbox.
E.g. I can login to my gmx account either with email A or B. It doesn't matter.
Now I want to have the same on my ipad.
One account with both email addresses. -
I have two Iphones 5 with different email addresses sharing one Apple ID account.Both are using IOS 8.
I would like to set up a new Apple Id for one of the phones and remove it from the old account.
If I do that, can I move all of the purchased apps and songs to the new Apple account?
Also, will sharing one Apple ID account with two devices cause problems with using messaging and FaceTime?Sharing an iCloud account between two devices can be done without causing issues with iMessage and FaceTime, just go into Settings for each of these functions and designate separate points of contact (i.e. phone number only, or phone number and unique email address). While that works, you'll then face the problem where a phone call to one iPhone will ring both if on the same Wi-Fi network -- but again, that can be avoided by changing each phone's settings.
Rather than do all that, don't fight it -- use separate IDs for iCloud. You can still use a common ID for iTunes purchases (the ID for purchases and iCloud do not have to be the same) or you can use Family Sharing to share purchases from a primary Apple account. -
Two Email Addresses, One Account
Hi Folks, I have two email addresses with Outlook.com, one is my personal address and the other is a send and receive custom domain work address both set up in the one outlook account on my iphone.
I can send and receive from both addresses, the problem I have is when replying to a mail sent to my custom address the recipient sees it as coming from my personal address, there isn't a way to choose which address I'm sending from.
I'm aware that two separate accounts would fix this but unfortunately Outlook.com doesn't support custom domain names as primary accounts.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.Adobe contact information - http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html may help

Can you use more than one email address on one account as to enable two or three devices to use imsg as when i add new email address's in settings it just says veriyfying and nothing happens????
If I read your question right, yes.
My pad has two e mail addresses, and my phone has a phone number as well as a e mail address. For each device you can add additional 'receive at' addresses in settings.
Note, when you add a new address, apple will send an e mail to that new address that you need to respond to, to show that it is a valid address. So look in the inbox of that e mail account for the verification e mail. Note further, some spam filters think that the verification e mail might be spam, so if it does not show up in your in box, look in any spam file you might have.
in my case, the verification e mail came within a few minutes of declaring the new address.
The multiple address are useful if you have more than one device under your apple id, and want to be able to send stuff to that particular device. -
Two Email Addresses, only check one?
Hey, everyone.
Let's see if I can explain my crazy situation:
I just bought the 32 gb 3GS, upgraded from the 16gb 3G. Sweet phone, much faster! The following problem didn't exist on my 3G phone, but it does with this one.
The Setup:
1. I have two email addresses, one Gmail and one with my work domain.
2. I forward my work email address to my Gmail account so I only have to log into gmail to reply to both personal and work emails.
3. I had it set up on my old iPhone so that it only checked my Gmail account, but let me send with my work email if I chose to do so....which is most of the time.
4. Now, for whatever reason, I can add the work email account, but I can't seem to figure out how to get it NOT to check my work inbox, but still let me send from that email address....
See what I'm saying? Anyone know how to make this happen? I'd hate to have to check and delete two sets of identical emails on my phone.
Thanks!
-=Rob=-I am using the first method, so I know it works.
Click Settings / Mail / Add Account / Other / Add Mail Account.
Put your name (like John Doe).
Put your email address (your work address, not GMail)
Put your GMail password in the password field.
Put a description (like Work Email)
Click Save.
The next screen lets you choose POP or IMAP. Leave the Name, Address, and Description fields be. Scroll down to Incoming Mail Server. Type
imap.gmail.com
In the user name field, type in your GMAIL user ID.
Password should already be populated with what you entered before.
Scroll down to Outgoing Mail Server. Type
smtp.gmail.com
Type your GMAIL user ID in the User Name field. Type in your GMAIL password.
Voila. Also, make sure you have validated your work email ID with Google. You do this under your GMail settings, Accounts. Otherwise it won't let you send emails through Google using your work address as a reply to.
I just tried it again to make sure of the steps and it worked. Give it another try. -

Hello, I want to perform a simple task.I have two Adobe ID accounts linked to two different email addresses. One account i do not want to use anymore but it is linked to my main email account. the account i do not want anymore is still in its free stage and i have not purchased anything with it. My other Adobe ID account is linked to an email i rarely use and don't particularly want to use. i have tried changing the linked email account to my regular one i use. But it obviously does not allow me because of it already being linked to my other non used obsolete Adobe ID account. Is there any solution to this?? Please help.

Can I use two gmail addresses via the same Mail account?
Please help! My brain is fried. I have two email addresses: one is a regular gmail one, the other uses my own domain but it's gmail too. I currently have both set up on Mail on my Mac. I receive and send from both. But I really want to have both working through one account (this is mainly to simplify the very clever Sanebox tool on both my Mac and in the Mailbox app on my iPhone).
If I forward my domain email to my regular gmail then I can receive them all in one fell swoop. Which is fine. But can I then continue to send from both accounts? Is this what they mean by an 'alias'? It's really important that I can send from both.
Sanebox suggested this: http://support.apple.com/kb/TA23485. I'm not sure I really understand it and don't want to risk changing my settings yet in case it all goes wrong.
Thank you very much!If you're asking whether you can connect one device to two itunes store accounts, the answer is no.

How do I set up two email address on the same account?
Using Mail in Mac OS X 10.6.2 and moving to Mac for the first time, I have been unable to set up two email addresses on the same account. Entering them, separated by commas, as advised in the Help does not seem to work. I have tried making them both the same password and have tried separating the passwords with a comma but no luck. Unable to set up another account for the second address because it correctly tells me that the account already exists.
Is there a way?
Thanks for any help.
AllanGlenAfter a comprehensive trial and error session, using a new Guest Account each time to be sure of no contamination from the previous trial, I have finally cracked it!
The problem was logging on to the outgoing server.
Setting up the first account was fairly straightforward but if I allow Mail to do it automatically I am unable to send because Mail has defaulted to 'Authentication Required' when my server does not require it. Setting the account manually without authentication enables send and receive to work OK.
If i try to set up the second account automatically, Mail crashes.
If I set it up manually and choose 'No Authentication', Mail crashes.
If I set it up manually and choose 'Authentication Required' and enter the full email address as the User Name together with password, Mail crashes.
If I set it up manually and choose 'Authentication Required' and enter the first part of the email address together with password, Mail crashes.
However, if I set it up manually and choose 'Authentication Required' and enter the first part of the email address as User Name and no password, Mail accepts it and sets up the account.
At this point the account receives mail but cannot send it.
If I go into the Mail preferences and try to edit the outgoing server details, Mail will not accept no Authentication.
I eventually found that if I uncheck the 'Always Use This Server' box, all account then use the server on the first account, which is correctly set up.
Now I have my four email accounts all able send and receive.
One little concern remains. In Outlook Express I could look at the properties of a received email and see what address it had come from, together with many other details. I haven't found out yet whether this can be done in Mail. I just wonder whether if I reply to some email, it will appear to have come from a different address from the one it was sent to.
Thanks again for all the inputs.

Multiple email address with one server account
Why can't Mail have multiple email addresses on one email account? Like Thunderbird calls them Identities. As I remember, Outlook also supports this. I like Mail but it seems rather dated and clunky in this respect.
I am using mainly IMAP so maybe I should switch to Thunderbird but I do still have some old messages in pop accounts in Mail.You can have multiple accounts, but only one "identity." Configure new mail accounts for all the different email addresses you may have. They can each have different configurations, different servers, etc. as well as be individually made active or inactive. All incoming mail will funnel into a single Inbox, but you can use rules to transfer incoming mail to separate mailboxes based on the account.
What you cannot have are distinct "personalities."
Bear in mind that Mail is intended for a single user and the vast number of single users only have one email account. I actually have four different email addresses but three of them are set to forward mail to the account I use with Mail. Mail works quite well with IMAP, POP, and Outlook mail accounts. -
Sender's email address in an e-mail campaign
Hi,
I understand that maintaining sender's email address is one of the configuration settings required for executing an email campaign.
Is it essential to maintain a valid email id in this field?
I have maintained the SCOT settings and when I am "Sending Target Group to Channel", I get the following error in SCOT: Cannot process message, no route from <sender> to <target email ID>
Will appreciate help from the group.
Regards,
PankajHello Pankaj,
it should be a valid E-Mail Address because you should be able to handle the bounces. And please have also a look at <a href="/people/thomas.jung3/blog/2004/09/08/sending-e-mail-from-abap--version-610-and-higher--bcs-interface">Sending E-Mail from ABAP - Version 610 and Higher - BCS Interface</a> if your Mail system is configured correctly. You should be able to send out SMTP Mails via SAP Business Workplace.
