Duplicating An Account inside Mail

I have a perfectly good GMail setup inside Mail that I want to duplicate inside the client to use for another account.
What's the best way to go about this?
Cheers.

I wish to duplicate an account I already have working inside Mail without having to go through the wizard/configuration process again.

  • IPod touch duplicating Email accounts and mail boxes

    iPod touch 2nd generation running 4.2.1
    I have 7 email accounts and 7 mailboxes in the mail program on my iMac. I have the iPod touch set to sync all of them. Somehow 5 of the 7 mail boxes and accounts are being duplicated on the iPod touch. I don't use the iPod much for email and want to eliminate all but 2 of the accounts and mailboxes from it but I can't figure out how and I don't know why they are being duplicated.

    Re: Mail only sending through one account 
    Sep 9, 2013 12:42 PM (in response to fishysammay)
    I believe I found the resolution to this.  Under Mail - Preferences, the outgoing mail server (SMTP) must be set for each individual account.  Mine was originally all set under one, making all messages send from the same address.  I had to re-enter my password in the settings for some of my accounts since there was login issues, but all in all it seems to be working.

  • Duplicate accounts in Mail

    Moin (stands for Good Morning in Northern Germany, used all day long)
    the problem is: I've got to set up a load of POP mail accounts using the same server. e.g.: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] and so on. Is there a simple way to duplicate them and change username, password and such later?
    Danke schön!
    Gunnar

    Moin Gunnar.
    None that I'm aware of because you can't create multiple email accounts in Mail that utilize the same user name and incoming mail server.
    When creating an email account in Mail, an account named folder is created at the first level within the Mail folder at Home > Library > Mail named by the user name and incoming mail server for the account.
    This account and associated mailbox filing structure prevents having multiple accounts in Mail that utilize the same user name and incoming mail server or duplicating an existing account and changing the user name, incoming mail server and password later.

  • Restoring Me, POP and SMTP accounts in Mail after issue

    Hi there !
    After unexpected power-off, when 10.5 restarted, Mail give me
    message for restoring message database.
    After some times (I have a lot of mailboxes and mails during past 3 years),
    Mail started BUT I SEE ONLY my MAC/ME accounts, but NOT all my
    other POP/IMAP account.
    As I see, all account's folders are still in /Library/Mail/, for example
    [email protected]
    [email protected]
    But tis accounts (and mails within) still not visible inside Mail.
    *How to restore this accounts in Mail ?*
    I try to reset settings from MobileMe (I have family pack), but
    unsuccessful - no any POP/IMAP accounts added...
    Bad lacky, tomorrow may be hard Monday....

    you need to restore the mail preference file. do you have a backup? if so quit mail and restore the file home directory/library/preferences/com.apple.mail.plist from the backup. if you don't have a backup recreate all your email accounts in Mail and they will recognize their existing mailboxes once recreated. and start backing up.

  • How do i create more than one account in Mail with the same isp?

    I am using suddenlink and have set up one account for Mail. It seems to work ok. I want to set up two others with the same provider but can't.
    Let's call the first account, account1
    It works.
    I set up another and call it account2.
    It is using the same provider which already has the account set up on their end, but how do I set it up to work on my end? Does it need to use the same username as account1 or can it use the user name for account2? I hope this makes sense.
    I just want to use three email addresses from the same provider with mail. I need some help. Please?

    Initially you need to configure via the provider's own web based control panel multiple e-mail accounts. If they don't have one, work it out with their customer support to have three distinct mail accounts. Then you can setup multiple logins by adding new accounts to mail. Since mail checks all accounts per Mac OS X user account simultaneously, it probably is best to use different usernames on the same internet provider. If you don't want mail to show all the information from all three mail accounts simultaneously, configure Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Accounts to have multiple users on your computer, and configure each of the internet service provider accounts for each separaet user on Mac OS X.

  • Unable to create new email from Gmail account in Mail

    I just installed gmail to retrieve messages within Mail: I can receive gmail messages and reply to gmail from Mail. However, I cannot create and send a new message in Mail using my gmail account; when I do I get the following error message:
    Enter Password for Account
    smtp.gmail.com:xxxx[account name]
    The SMTP server "smtp.gmail.com" rejected the password for user "xxx[account name]"
    Please re-enter your password, or cancel.
    No matter how many times I add it correctly and click OK, the same message returns.

    Google provides instructions for setting up a Gmail
    account in Mail here:
    http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=13
    275
    Make sure you’ve set up the account as described
    there.
    That is what I used to set up my gmail account in Apples Mail App before your post. Those instructions say that when you click on the Advanced Tab that the port will switch to 995 - which it did for me. I do have a minor problem though. Is there any way to prevent emails sent from Mail via gmail from showing up in gmails web page? I don't really like web mail whatsoever!

  • Why can I no longer send email from my Hotmail SMTP account using Mail?

    I can no longer send email from my Hotmail SMTP account using Mail. The connection doctor says it can't connect to the SMTP server. All the settings look to be correct and it was working fine before. I can still email using my iPhone with the same account.

    Other may post it is some type of change with your ISP but the simple fact is this happen with Apple Mac Mail all the time.
    IMHO Mac Mail is one of, if not the, worst mail program ever written.
    Do yourself a big favor and start using some other mail program, any other Mail program.

  • Mail Accounts in Mail

    I had to re-establish one of my e-maila accounts in Mail and I can't see any messages.  It shows me how many messages are unread in the left panel, but no messages are displayed in the main window.  Can someone suggest a fix?

    If you deleted the account in Mail in order to re-create it, you deleted all messages in account mailboxes.  If the account was a POP account, those messages are probably not still on the server, but you can be sure by selecting the account, pressing command-i and seeing what messages are reported as being on the server.  If the account was IMAP, then the messages should all still be on the server.  You may simply need to force the account to sync (Mailbox -> Synchronize All Accounts).
    If the messages are gone, do you have any backups?

  • How do you access more than one email account with Mail

    I have multiple email accounts, and have already set up my pop, and smtp servers. But I cannot figure out how to access/ login into the other account. I have had one account setup for a while now. I just setup another account, but can only access the original account. I've looked under 'preferences' I can see that the new account has been created, but how do I log in to it? Can someone please help?
    Thanx,
    Mike Dunn

    Hello Mike.
    You can access multiple accounts and account types with the Mail.app with one exception.
    You can access multiple accounts with Mail by the same provider (same account type and shares the same incoming mail server) and each account can have the same password as long as they are true accounts which means each email address or account has its own user name which is usually the portion of the email address in front of the @ sign only but with some providers it is the entire email address.
    An additional email address or account by the same provider that shares the same user name and password as the primary account is really an alias account and cannot be accessed as a separate account with Mail.
    An alias account or address to a primary account can be accessed with the primary account by adding the email address for the alias to the email address field separated by a comma under the Account Information tab for the primary account's preferences.
    All messages addressed to the alias email address will be received and delivered to the Inbox mailbox for the primary account.

  • Changing from ".Mac" account in Mail to "IMAP"

    When I orginally set up my primary Mail account on my laptop it was ".Mac", rather than IMAP or POP. I'm finding I can't fully take advantage of the Alias features. Another posting here explains that if I delete the existing ".Mac" account and build a new one as IMAP, I'd then be able to create alias email addresses. In the present configuration I can "create them", but they don't appear as available in the pull down menu when I send mail. I'm a bit reluctant to delete my present .Mac account in Mail because I get a warning that all my mail will go away if I delete that account. To complicate matters, I sometimes work on my iMac at home, and that one's set up just the same as a ".Mac" account. Presumably I'd have to change that one too? Or is there some way I can make setting up the alias addresses work while keeping my primary account as a .Mac account? Obviously I'm not relating conceptually to what's going on here!
    Tom
    PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   Also have iMac dual core

    I access my .Mac account as a .Mac type account with Tiger Mail and I use/access a single .Mac alias address at a time. I have no problems with the alias address being available as an address to choose from via the Accounts selection when composing a message.
    Do you access more than one alias address at a time?
    Does it make any difference when selecting Edit Email Aliases under the Email Address field available under the Account Information tab for the account preferences?
    Since a .Mac account is really an IMAP type account and behaves in the same way, when deleting the account in Mail, no messages available at the server in the account's Inbox or any other server stored messages will be affected when deleting the account and re-creating it as an IMAP type account.
    What you do lose when deleting an account in Mail are any locally stored mailboxes/messages for the account such as Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk if these messages are not stored on the server.
    If you don't store Sent messages on the server, before deleting the account you need to do the following:
    Create/utilize an "On My Mac" location mailbox which is stored on the hard drive and not associated with any account. Transfer the account's Sent messages from the locally stored Sent mailbox for the account to the user created "On My Mac" location mailbox.
    Delete and re-create the account in Mail as an IMAP type account. All server stored messages in the account's Inbox mailbox will be available again in the account's Inbox mailbox and after sending a message with the newly created IMAP account which will create a new Sent mailbox for the account, you can transfer the old sent messages from the "On My Mac" location mailbox to the new Sent mailbox for the account so no messages will be lost.

  • I have 3 email accounts in Mail on Macbook Pro.  Mail is only being sent from 1 account.

    I have 3 email accounts in Mail.  Mail is only being sent from 1 account, even though I select one of the other accounts in the "from" field.  In my sent box, the "From" field says the accout I selected, but all recipients say they receive it from a different account.  I set my composing preferences "send new messages from" to the main account, but all my mail is still being sent from a different account.  I cannot see that this is happening, only people receiving it can.  I noticed it because when they reply, it goes to a different account than what I sent to them.  Any suggestions with what I should do?

  • How do I create subfolders UNDER multiple accounts in Mail, similar to Outlook?

    I am trying to move from Outlook 2011 MAC to Apple Mail. I understand how to drag my folders (mbox) but I have 3 mail accounts in Outlook and want to create these same accounts in Mail...followed by the specific folders under each mail account.
    Mail doesn't seem to allow me to simply drag a subfolder under a particular account. I'm on the latest version of Mountain Lion, as an FYI.
    Can someone help me because there has to be a way to keep things organized by email account and respective subfolder.
    Thanks,
