Different email accounts but same host confusion

Hi,
I am trying to set up the mac mail client and have a number of email accounts on different domain names but they all share the same incoming mail server as all hosted on the same server but i receive an error message:
The account “[email protected]” already has this host name and username
Any one have an idea how to bypass this?
The email addresses are different domain names but the incoming mail server is the same on all email accounts due to the SSL cert on the server.
Thanks in advance

hi,
here is an example
[email protected] has incoming mail server of mail.domain1.com and this domain has the ssl cert against.
2nd account that errors is [email protected] incoming mail server would be the above mail.domain1.com due to the ssl cert yet the mail app picks up the user name sam for [email protected] as if its [email protected] yet they are two different accounts
hope this explains more?

How to backup multiple iphones with different iCloud accounts but same apple id?

I would like to back up 3 idevices each with different icloud accounts to itunes. But they use the same apple id so that itune purchases can be installed on each device (2 iphones and 1 ipad).
All I want to do is create a backup in case the phones need to be restored. I also want to back up before downloading iOS 8.
The Macbook Pro that I will back up to has one user and one itunes library.
Is this possible without mixing up address books and contacts etc? Appreciate if some one could direct me to detail step-by-step instructions if they exist or please tell me how I can do this.
Thanks.

With Family Sharing they don't need to have the same Apple ID anymore.
But backups to iTunes are kept separate among multiple devices; Apple ID and iCloud isn't involved at all. Just make sure the devices do not have the same name.

I use three different email accounts, but don't seem to be able to choose which account to send emails from, unlike on my iPad. Any ideas?

I have tried going to mail>preferences>composing, and the drop-down box only gives me the option of sending 'from the selected mailbox', which is precisely what I'm not able to do.

I'm sitting in front of windows at the moment so give me some leash....
But its easy. I believe, just beklow the subject line, is a pull down menu for the source account.
Ingeneral it defaults to the last account used, or the account used for a thread if you are replying.

Pdf attachments do not come through on iCloud mail but they do on other email accounts on same device

I have several email accounts set up that appear on all my devices: iMac, iPhone and iPad. I use 2 email accounts for work purposes, and good thing I use two. I receive pdf attachments in non-apple email accounts, but the same email sent to my iCloud address comes through minus the attachment and shows only "winmail.dat". I am using the same device to read the email from the different accounts, but the problem is consistent with all my apple devices. This has to be a setting in iCloud mail but I can not figure it out. Please help.

Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as NEW.
If the basic troubleshooting steps don't work, then you'll need to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation and probable replacement.

Multiple email accounts but they are all sending from same account.

Set up with multiple email accounts but they are all sending from same account. I have checked account preferences and under composing they are to come from account of selected mailbox but this is not happening! Suggestions?

They are all in the same folder and it says all images are there, but it is only showing 1 card's images at a time. Does anyone know how to fix this?
This is kind of confusing, on the one hand you say "it says all images are there" and then you directly contradict this by saying "it is only showing 1 card's images at a time".
Could you explain in a lot more detail what you see (and don't say "it", say exactly what part of Lightroom or what part of your operating system you are looking at), or show us a screen capture?

If you've just added an address to your account then it will be an alternate/secondary email address, a rescue email address can only be added by answering 2 of your security questions. If you already had one on your account then go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email addressthen you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312

I am new to IPAD and I want o use facetime, how can I use it to communicate with my mac at home, do I need to create another account with a different email account

I am new to IPAD and I want o use facetime, how can I use it to communicate with my mac at home, do I need to create another account with a different email account

do I need to create another account with a different email account
Yes, the email addresses need to be unique to each device. You may use the same Apple ID on each device, but the email address used by each device needs to be different.

Different ring tones for different email accounts

Is it possible to set different ring tone for different email accounts?

No - but you can change the sound for the email the notification in the settings .... Settings>General>Sounds>New Mail> and select another sound from the list, but that will use the same sound for all of your email accounts.

She can't. She needs to setup her own AppleID and then create an iCloud account using that.
You can still continue to share your existing AppleID for iTunes and App Store purchases.

Multiple addresses on 1 computer - putting email in folder of different email account?

I am transitioning to a new MBP next week. I am getting a SSD, smaller than my HDD now, which means I need to work on freeing up some space. There is plenty of junk (apps I never use, etc) on my computer to be freed up. (I'm also planning to use an external harddrive more often for more files.) The big thing that I want to do is organize my email box.
I currently have 3 emails going into my Mail application. a .mac and 2 gmail accounts. I did a bad job managing my emails as they came in, I currently have about 7500 in my inbox so there are a lot that can be deleted and more that need to be organized.
I use my email addresses for different purposes, but, for example, my family switches between them depending on what their computer comes up with first when sending me emails.
My question is this... If I want to put all of their emails together in a folder, for example on icloud... can I do this even though they are from different email accounts?
I know it is possible, but, for example, if I put a gmail email into my icloud account, does it dissapear from my gmail and become a .mac email?
When I transfer to my new computer and have to redownload my email accounts, will all my hard work of organizing into folders be lost because a gmail is going to move back to gmail and out of my icloud folder?
(Secondary question... Mail keeps reasking me for my gmail password, but won't accept it when I put it in. I know it is correct. What I've looked up online is that I need to delete the account and recreate in mail. I assume that and foldering that I make will not stick if I am moving stuff when I am not linked to the gmail server!? I suppose I should do the deleting and relinking before I go to organizational crazy.)

despite suggestions from the well meaning but ignorant, Thunderbird can have large folders. My inbox has some 17,700 messages in it. The folder that holds mail from this forum had over 30,000 messages.
What Thunderbird can not tolerate, nor should it have to, is having anti virus programs scanning it's files while it is trying to use them. Usually resulting in a corrupt index (what your seeing most likely.) In the case of Norton, Symantec are unrepentant and rather proud of the fact that their anti virus will quarantine everything in your inbox if they find a virus or anti sort, even in a deleted mail. Their product is also just plain intrusive and aggressive, not bad when it does not really scan incoming mail.
Create an exception in Nortons for your Thunderbird profile folders.
There is a link [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird:Testing:Antivirus_Related_Performance_Issues#Norton_Security here ]to both the mail scanning and Nortons instructions for creating Sonar exemptions

Details:
* The bug app was arguably generating bogus test data (messages with duplicate ids), and 99.9% of applications won't be configured this way (using multiple ChannelSets with overlapping Channels, pointing at the same server) but it's still worth making this work just right anyways.
