Downloading messages in mail from two diferent computers

I have a G5 imac at home and my wife is travelling with our G3 ibook. we both are using mail. If one of us downloads e-mail messages from the server, will the other computer be able to download the same messages as well as long as they are still on the server?

It depends on what kind of email account you're using. If it's IMAP, you should have no problems, but if it's POP, you'll need to check the following setting:
In Mail, go to Preferences, Accounts, then highlight your account, go to Advanced. If "Remove copy from server after downloading a message" is unticked, you should be OK, since you aren't removing mail from the server. If it's ticked, you should either untick it, or change the time to a longer time period to give you enough time to check mail in both places.

Downloading songs from two different computers, and not recognizing songs

On my home computer, I downloaded about 40 songs onto my IPod from CDs. Then, I installed the program on my work computer, and purchased four songs from ITunes. When I plug my IPod into my work computer, it is not recognizing the songs I downloaded from my home computer. However, if I plug my IPod into my work computer, I can listen to these four purchased songs, but once I try to listen to them without having it plugged into my work computer, only the songs I downloaded from home are on the IPod.
Has this happened to anyone else who has tried to put songs from two different computers onto their IPod?

Just to elaborate a bit, you need to copy the purchased files and put them on your home computer.
Don't burn them as an audio CD as you will lose quality when you re-import them.
You can use the Shuffle (instead of a CD) to do this

When I send an email message, my Mail shows two messages outgoing instead of just the one I am sending. What is going on?

When I send an email message, my Mail shows two messages outgoing instead of just one.
What is going on? Is it possible some "spyware" has crept in?

There is an email address on my website that automatically forwards to my "regular" email address, but this problem predates setting up that website. My primary email is a bellsouth account (AT&T) which switched to a Yahoo mail-supported service....so based on your comments, perhaps that is why the activity is looking weird.

Sync Mail for two apple computers?

Hello
I have two apple computers, one iMac and one MacBook. I use Mail on both to access the same account. But I never get my emails to both accounts. For example, while im on my MacBook, i get emails, but as soon as it is in sleep mode, new emails go to the iMac, and never show up in the inbox of the MacBook. Is there a way to sync them?

If you are using POP email accounts, just change the settings in mail on both computers to leave the mail on the server for 2-4 weeks (whatever the maximum interval is that you would not be using one of your computers). Then, each Mac will be able to download and store all of your messages.

Mime attachments in Mail from two mac users

I've been receiving mime attachments in Tiger Mail from Ebay and members for a while and I've searched the forum for answers but haven't found a viable solution yet. I end up using TextEdit to open them. I've contacted ebay about this and they have no clue, and think it's spam even though I tell them I get them from Ebay tech support, however they do show up ok in my RCN webmail when I check there.
Anyway that's not the problem now, I was trying to troubleshoot my father's mail problem who is Panther Mail and it mysteriously stopped working for him a couple days ago both sending and receiving. However he is getting them from his webmail at SBC/Yahoo formerly Ameritech. I checked his account settings over the phone and they seemed correct to what he had before but I had him contact his provider.
They don't seem to know what's going on and wanted him to contact Apple.I had him contact them again and they finally did have him change his outgoing mail server from Ameritech to SBC/Yahoo. So he is able to send from there now but not receive emails. ( he still still sends and receives ok at his webmail site) . Since they changed the outgoing mail server however, the email he sends me (all plain text) is coming now as a mime attachment.
I've never seen this before from two Mac users using Mail and plain messages. I had him try changing back to the Ameritech outgoing sever but that still doesn't work. And again if I check my RCN webmail I can view these messages fine in the body of the email there, just not in Mail. Any ideas what may have caused this? Is it because of the Yahoo outgoing mail server? He's about givin up and has resorted to his webmail only for now. I generally like Mail but this is a pia.

<Where is it designated as a "mime-attachment" & where does the "27bytes" text appear?>
It shows mime-attachment(27bytes) just below the little plain document icon. This shows up both in the body of the email and also the little attachment drop down menu below the To / subject area.
<Also, if you go to Mail's View > Message submenu when one of these messages is open, which (if any) 'alternate' menu choices are available (not grayed out)? >
All are greyed out except Long headers and Raw source.
Here is the header info in the message if that helps any:

How do i download and e-mail from a zip drive without opening the file

How do I download and e-mail data from a zip drive without opening the file?

Hi.
If you have a Zip drive, you can handle the file as you would any other file. Copy and paste. Drag and drop. Select and attach as an email attachment.
Zip drive data discs came in two capacities, 100MB and 250MB. So the largest files would not exceed those capacities, depending on the media from which they are pulled.
The trick, I should think, would be finding a working drive that can read the media... and hope that media is not corrupted. Zip media was notorious for failing.
I hope this helps.

Retrieve old downloaded messages Apple Mail OS 10.9 Mavericks

Hi,
I was using Apple Mail to store some old email messages/attachments that I downloaded from a business gmail account.
I no longer work for that company and my business gmail account is inactive so I can't access it online.
I used to be able to access my old email messages/attachments that were downloaded into Apple Mail, but
since the OS 10.9 upgrade, Apple Mail is empty.
The other threads seem to have solutions that sync Apple Mail with active email accounts online.
How do I retrieve my old downloaded messages/attachments?
Thank you,
Jess

Hello Jessvech,
It sounds like you are not seeing emails that were downloaded before the Mavericks upgrade. I suggest reindexing the emails in your Inbox with the following article:
Mail (Mavericks): Reindex messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14876
If Mail detects problems with information in your mailboxes, it may need to repair the mailboxes by reindexing your messages.
At other times, you may want to reindex messages yourself—for example, when searching mailboxes using Subject, To, or From doesn’t return the correct results.
Quit Mail if it’s open.
In ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData, delete any file that begins with “Envelope Index,” such as Envelope Index or Envelope Index-shm.To show your home Library folder, hold down the Option key, then in the Finder choose Go > Library.
Open Mail.Mail creates new Envelope Index files. This process may take a few minutes, depending on how many messages Mail is reindexing.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

Apple mail has stopped downloading my e-mails from Yahoo sky mail

My Sky e-mails have stopped downloading through Apple mail on my macbook and my iphone 5 but I have another address that still works (also through Yahoo!!). The mail download bar starts up but then doesn't download anything. I can send e-mails from Sky account through Apple Mail but the e-mail doesn't show up in the sent folder. I've tried deleting and reinstalling the account but this has done nothing.

When I go into the mail account, it tells me that I have a messages total and an amount unread - the 'load more messages' text but won't do anything else

Can we send a message to Websphere from two different schema?

Hi,
I have two schema in my test environment and i send a AQ message to WebSphere from one of them.
Now i'm going to apply all the changes from this schema to the other one and then two messages will go to the same destination in IBM WebSphere!
Do you think i might face a problem in this way or i should disable the previous one?
Regards
/Hesi

Hello,
it surely depends on your setup logic for the content of your target MQ messages. From the point of AQ there is no problem.
Your two AQ queues don't know anything from each other. You have to check if the messages can be arrive twice at
your destination MQ queue.
Kind regards,
WoG

Can I run two applications at once from two different computers?

Good Evening,
I would like to use the cloud service. I have read over the FAQs and they were quite clear, however I did not seem to find something to the effect of what I need answered.
If I were to download the apps on a backup computer and my personal computer, can I run for example a photoshop application on one computer, while running an encore application on the other computer at the same time?
The FAQs state that I can pick and choose which apps I want on a computer. Will I be able to download a portion of the apps on my personal computer and the remaining on a backup computer, while being able to use a portion on computer and another portion on another computer at the same time?

You could be working in two different applications on two different computers, going back and forth between them.
You can install any of the applications that you wanted to use on either of the computers but still only on two computers overall.
Hope that helps,
-Dave

Send connector - e-mails from two domains to distinct anti-spam IPs

I have an Exchange enviroment that has two domains. I want that e-mails sent from a domain do the relay to an anti-spam, and e-mails sent from another domain do the relay to another anti-spam.
Example:
I need to config send connector to send the e-mails from "test1.com" to IP 10.160.190.66 and from "test2.com" to IP 10.160.190.69
How do I do?
I need this because each domain uses distincts anti-spam
Tks.

Hi,
Before going on, I would like to confirm the following information.
What's the version of the Exchange?
Whether the two domains have their own Exchange or share one Exchange?
Thanks
Allen

Mail not downloading all e-mails from hotmail

Hi,
I have a MacBook pro 15inch running latest updates on OSx lion. I am having a real problem with mail application and my hotmail account. I have setup the hotmail account in mail and it downloads any new mails I receive but it does not sync any of the sent mails.
I also have an iPad which I use to send and receive emails and every time I reply someone using the iPad, there is no record of it on my mac if I replied to that person or not. Whereas if I reply to anyone using the mac, iPad shows all sent mails in sent folder.
Another problem I had (which is not currently main issue) is that occasionally it asked to put your password in for iCloud and hotmail account even if i check save to keychain.
Is there any way I can get my mac to sync all folders from my hotmail to mac? iPad does it with no problem..
Thanks in advance:)

I'm having the same issue and have tried deleting the account and adding again but I only have emails that came in yesterday after Mavericks installed. My thousands of emails from the server did not load. They are everywhere else but on the updated Mavericks computer.

Is it possible to work on the same files/catalog from two different computers?

My wife and I are photographers and work on two separate iMacs. We just purchased an NAS and would like to know if we can both access the same files AND the Lightroom catalog from our respective computers. All of the files are on the NAS but I can't figure out how to get her computer to recognize the catalog. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
-Brent

Another option, since you already have the nas, is to get something like "Synchronize! Pro X",and use the nas to transfer the catalog back and forth. You don't have to USB the catalog, just transfer it to the nas each time you are done, and before you start...
Of course, I think both solutions are based on you not editing at the same time... i.e., both of you are making changes, as neither approach will work for that!
Cheers!

How do I combine two libraries from two different computers?

My wife and I have two libraries on two windows computers. She wants to add my songs to her library. I do not wish to add her songs to mine. Can we do this? How is it done?
All songs on my iPod have been purchased from iTunes. Her library is half purchased from iTunes, using the same iTunes account, and half from CDs that she's loaded.
OK, rookie question. But we're headed on vacation and I want my iPod back for the trip.
Thx!

You can transfer the iTunes songs from your iPod to her computer, just remember two things.
1) Set your iPod to manual management before connecting to another computer so you don't accidentally erase it. You can change it back to auto-syncing on your own computer when you are finished:
Using iPod with Multiple computers
Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
2) Authorise your wife's computer to play songs from your iTunes Store account:
About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation
Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer

How do I enable opening firefox from two different computers sharing the same home directory without having to delete a lock file (linux).

I just don't want to have to delete a lock file - which has a purpose - in order to use firefox simultaneously from two locations on the network - where the home directory, i.e. .mozilla directory - is located

You need to use two separate profiles if you want to have two Firefox instances open at the same time.
