Do I need Open Directory for multiple email addresses for Calendar users?

Hey all,
I have a single mac mini which I use simply as a calendar server for +/- 20 users. One day I might use Profile Manager to manage their iOS devices too. On the initial installation, we enabled Open Directory, although I'm not sure that it's required, and we have no plans re using it to manage network logins etc aside from existing calendaring.
I'm working through a migration from a Lion Server.app install to Mavericks, and due to some data corruption issues, we'll probably just rebuild the server and reimport the users calendars.
On my existing Lion Server installation, I can still use workgroup manager to assign multiple email addresses to calendar users, so that when a user invites another user to a calendar event using any of their email addresses (we have several variations), the invitation still gets pushed to the correct calendar user.
On Mavericks, without installing Open Directory, it seems I can't do this (I've downloaded Workgroup Manager for Mavericks, but it obviously can't connect to a local open directory). If Open Directory is optional, I'd rather not install it, to avoid overhead and complexity, but I still need a way to manage these multiple email addresses (aliases doesn't cut it).
Any ideas / suggestions?
Thanks,
D

For Calendar server to send actual email invitations to an attendee, two things must happen:
First, you need to configure Server.app > Calendar > Enable invitations by email. Enabling that will bring up a wizard dialog that will step you through the IMAP and SMTP account settings. The default values in that wizard will tell Calendar server to use the local Mail server (which you then would have to configure to use the appropriate SMTP relay, etc.). Or you can change the wizard settings to refer to an external IMAP and SMTP server. It is wise to use a dedicated IMAP account for Calendar server's use -- don't go using someone's personal IMAP account because there might be some "undesirable interactions", let's say. If you need help configuring this for, say, a Gmail account, I can help with that.
Second, the email address for the attendee must *not* be known to Calendar server, i.e. it should *not* be in the Directory. As you probably found out, if Calendar server sees that the attendee has an email address that is in the Directory, the attendee is considered to be "local" and the invitation will be delivered directly to the attendee's calendar client. If you simply leave those other email variations out of the Directory, Calendar server will consider that attendee "remote" and will send an actual email with a special attachment that calendar clients can understand.
Hope that helps.

How do I enter my multiple email addresses for one Firefox Sync account?

Sorry, but Address Book does not allow you to select more than one email address to send to in a group. There's really no reason why people need multiple copies of a message, anyway; they have the option of forwarding email to another email address of theirs.

Broadcasting via Bursting to multiple email address for a single vendor cod

Hello -
I have a requirement to broadcast out a web template based scorecard to multiple email addresses for a given vendor code. We have gotten it to work via a single email address, but I need to send it to more than one email per vendor code.
Has anyone else tried this?
Thank you!

Hi Chris,
If my understanding is right, you must be using the master data of vendor Code(Which has an attribute to store Email IDs).
You can add multiple email ID to the same master data separated by semi colon ";"
If you are using user IDs instead, I dont think it is possible to use multiple user ID in the same attribute.
in this case you need to enhance the master data with a new attribute to store the second user ID and the create a separate setting for this attribute.
Hope this helps.
Regards.

Support for multiple email addresses in struts

I'm a little confused as to how Apple ID works. Do I need separate Apple IDs or email addresses for iMessage, iCloud, and Facetime?

Do I need separate Apple IDs or email addresses for iMessage, iCloud, and Facetime?
Everytime I attempt to use my Apple ID associated with iTunes with iMessage, iCloud, or Facetime, it tells me: 'Unable to verify email because it is already in use'. I've been playing around with it and find when I enter another email address other then the one associated with my iTunes account, it'll work. So it seems that my Apple ID will log me into the cloud (or whatever it may be), but I need another email address for the messages to be sent to? Perhaps somebody can clarify for me. Thanks in advance!

How do I add multiple email addresses for a contact to a group?

(I'm a recent convert from eMailer to Outlook Express, to Entourage, and finally to Mail.app)
I'm trying to set up a group in Address Book that includes multiple email addresses from a given card. These are folks that want me to include, for example, both their work and home email addresses when I send to this particular group.
I see that Address Book has the ability to use "Edit Distribution List..." to select one email address for a given card/contact, but I can't get it to allow me to use two or three for a given card.
I suppose for now I can just create a duplicate card, and pick one address from each.
Is there a better way?

Can i send to multiple email addresses for the same contact

I coach a baseball team and I want to create contacts under the kids' names with email addresses for both parents listed. Can I send email to multiple email addresses listed inside the same contact? I hope this makes sense.
Thanks!

You can do it individually, but it can also be done with Groups in Contacts, but you will need to create two or more groups. Once you have created the Groups in Contacts, drag the contacts that have multiple email addresses into each group. Then, select Edit Distribution List… from the Edit menu in Contacts.
For each group, select one address or the other for each contact. Do the same for the other group.
When you address an email, add both Groups to the address field in Mail.

How Can I set up Thunderbird for multiple email addresses

I am using Eudora 7 to handle 6 email accounts on a Windows XP SP3 machine. I want to install Thunderbird on the same machine and import the email addresses. I have Eudora setup to store the data files for each email address in a different data directory. This allows me to have a different icon on the desktop for each email account. Clicking on an icon starts Eudora with the email address data stored in a specific directory.
What I don't know is how to have Thunderbird import the different email addresses from Eudora to Thunderbird and how to keep the individual email address data separate in Thunderbird.
Any help would be appreciated.

I never used Eudora, so I can't tell much about it. In any case, I believe it's dead.
Wrt multiple accounts in Thunderbird, there isn't much you can do wrong. Simply run the new account wizard and set-up the accounts you want (one at a time).
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/automatic-account-configuration
If any of your accounts are POP ones, make sure not to enable Global Inbox to keep them separate.

Managing multiple email addresses for the same contact

Hi
I have set up a group so I can email multiple people at once using the usual method. However, when I put the 'xx group' in the Bcc, it mails them fine, but where I have more than one address for the contact, it picks one without asking me.
How do I set it so it always chooses a certain (main) address? For one, it sent it one of two addresses I had listed as 'home', on another it sent it to an address I had listed as 'work'.
They also appeared in different positions on the card, e.g. it is not sending tit to the first one it sees on the card.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Mark

found the answer somewhere else:
When sending a message to a Group and a Group member (or members) has multiple email addresses, the following was copied from Address Book Help.
Choose Edit > Edit Distribution List.
Select the group whose addresses you want to manage.
Click the pop-up menu (column header) to choose which type of information you want to manage—phone number, email address, or street address.
Select the address or phone number you want to use for each member with multiple addresses or phone numbers.

Looking for an email address for support

I'm not sure where to post this, but since I ordered a wi-fi 3G iPad, I'll try here.
I am trying like crazy to find an email address to contact about my order. I placed an order for the iPad 2 wi-fi / 3G 32G w/o engraving. I wanted to upgrade it to the 64G with engraving. I just wanted to send an email asking how I should go about changing my order. I can't, for the life of me, find an email address for order support. Or any other support for that matter. All their support seems to be through phone numbers and FAQ. Maybe I'm missing something.
Thanks

Multiple Email addresses for MailContact - NOT MAILBOX

Hi,
This is probably in the wrong section but an admin can move it if needed.
I am working with Exchange Management Shell for Exchange Server 2010, and would like to know if it is possible to add a secondary email address to
MailContacts through powershell.
I can double click each contact go to the email address tab and add additional email addresses there but I want to know if its is possible through the powershell.
The only information ive found online is to do this for a Mailbox.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Bill

Bill,
The Exchange attribute you're looking to modify for the MailContact is the
EmailAddresses attribute (equivalent to the ProxyAddresses AD Attribute)
Using powershell to add them may look something like this:
$contacts = get-mailcontact
foreach($contact in $contacts){
#get the existing SMTP address for the contact
$existingaddress = $contact.primarysmtpaddress.tostring()
#example of creating a new SMTP address for the contact based on existing attributes, and removing spaces. Replace this with however you're going to build the new address.
$newaddress = ($($contact.DisplayName.tostring()) + "@domain.com").Replace(" ","")
#sets the contact to have multiple SMTP addresses, Note that the first address listed will become the PrimarySMTPAddress for the contact.
set-mailcontact -emailaddresspolicyenabled $false -Emailaddresses $existingaddress,$newaddress
#Full disclosure: I tested this code on my Exchange 2013 lab, not Exchange 2010, however this should work either way.
I think it is important to note however that adding additional external addresses would be a moot point, as Exchange will only send to what is listed as the targetAddress (Single value) of the contact. However, if you're looking for multiple "internal"
SMTP addresses to map to a single "external" SMTP address, this should work, depending on your environment/requirements.

How do I select multiple email address for a single person in my address book when creating a new email?

I am coordinating a large group of people and created a group list of over one hunderd people. The group is families and each person in the address book has several e-mail addresses. How do I select all the email address under each person in the address book so every family member recieves the e-mails?
It appears I can select any ONE email address but selecting multiples from any one person is not allowed, why is that? Any tips would be appreciated, thanks.

How to configure multiple email addresses for a Google Apps profile on iOS 8.1?

I've got a Google Apps account with 4 incoming email addresses. I'd like to use either Exchange or Google as the email type for this account. I understand how to setup the original account (done, works great). I understand how to change the one-and-only sending address to essentially any one of the 4 authorized send-from emails. However, I can't seem to figure out how to add all 4 addresses so that Mail.app on my phone automatically chooses the correct address for replies to incoming

I would like to know this too, although as far as I have read, it's not possible (anymore) with Mail. Previous you would have added your 4 email addresses separated by commas as your email address. I tried doing that recently but Mail did not understand it. You will need to resort to using the official Gmail app for your secondary incoming addresses.

Can i have multiple email address for icloud

can i have multiple email acounts on my new imac if so how do i do that

You can have more than one mail account. To add more, you can do it in two places:
1. Open System Preferences > Internet Accounts, and press the + button.
2. Open Mail and go to Mail menu (on the menu bar) > Add Account.
Respecting to iCloud, you can have more than one mail address if you upgraded from MobileMe or if you used iCloud before the iOS 6 launch. In both cases, you will have a @me.com and a @icloud.com address
