Email icon unread count - one account only

On ios7 I have two email accounts, yahoo and work, I want the mail icon to show unread only for my work like it used to. It doesn't matter which mailbox I filter to the icon always show all unread, how can this be changed?

I found this on another site and it worked. Go to Settings - Then Notification Center - Then scroll to where you see the mail box application (whether it is set to be included or not included notification center either spot just find it and click on it). Then you select each mail box that is listed and for the ones you don't want in the "red box" turn the badge ap icon to the off position.

Email "sender" showing incorrect name from one account only, from blackberry only

I have three email accounts linked to my phone, recently if I send from one account, the message seems to come from a mystery sender - i.e message shows as being sent from "Sam Laidlaw" but the email address is correct. I've tried editing the account, deleting the account, modifying the account, nothing works. I've searched and "Sam Laidlaw" doesn't show up in any addresses, contacts, accounts etc - I don't know where it came from or how to delete it. Very frustrating as it is my work email that I use contantly and people are now asking "who is Sam Laidlaw"?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I only ask because the recipient's device can control who an email appears to be from.
Aside from that, this is controlled by either the settings when you setup the account or the display name listed on the account itself.
What kind of account is it? GMail? Outlook.com? Yahoo!?

Buddies won't display in ONE account only

I have a very strange problem that has just cropped up with iChat AV 3.0.1 on my iMac G4 20" running OS X 10.4.2. I originaly suspected problems arising from a recent archive-and-install I did with Tiger, but I now see that the problem also occurs on my iBook as well, which has been running 10.4.2 without difficulty.
I have been a longtime AOL user, and have used my Buddy List for AOL instant messaging in iChat AV. Everything was fine until about 2 weeks ago, when I noticed that, in iChat AV, none of my buddies were showing up--but only in ONE of my account/screen names. However, if I signed into AOL, the buddies would show up in AOL's buddy list.
What's really weird is: if I have BOTH AOL and iChat AV running, then my buddies will show up in iChat AV. If I then quit out of AOL, my buddies still show up in iChat AV...until I sign off or quit, and then sign on or launch iChat AV...then the buddies no longer appear. (I should clarify that I still see the grayed-out, offline names, it just looks like nobody's signed in). If I then launch AOL and sign on again (this is simultaneously), then all of my buddies magically appear again on the iChat AV side.
I have a couple of other accounts with well-populated buddy lists, and online buddies in those screen names show up without any problem.
To see if this was a problem with my computer, I signed on with my laptop, and get the same problem: no buddies listed as being "online" in iChat AV, unless I also sign on with AOL at the same time, but ONLY with that particular screen name/account.
Any thoughts?

I've answered my own question:
Somehow the preference for Security-->privacy settings had gotten set to "allow specific people". I have never even used that preference before...and had nobody on my "specific people" list, so when I signed on, none of my buddies showed up online. I guess that preference is locally stored, since i wasn't having the problem in AOL.
I figured it out after starting a chat with a friend in iChat AV while being signed on in AOL. I quit AOL in the middle of our chat, since I was IMing in iChat AV anways. As soon as I tried to reply to an IM, though, I got an error that "Your privacy preferences are set so they prevent you from communicating with this person."
That led me to look at the other prefs and...BAM, everything's working again.

Outgoing mail server works for one account only

This may be a coincidence but I just updated to 10.5.2 today and now my outgoing mail on one of my accounts will not send. I shared a SMTP with another one of my accounts thru SBC. I can send when using my SBC account email as sent but cannot use it on my non SBC account now. Any ideas? I tried switching to the 2nd account it should be set to but still cannot send.
I even removed and started over with the email account but still cannot send.

Hi Chris,
I am having the exact same problem. Were you ever able to solve yours?

Yosemite file vault for one account only

I have enabled file vault on a macbook air running Yosemite. My son has a non-administrator account and does not have the administrator password but would like to boot the computer and use his account. He is unable to do this at present because he does not have the administrator password. He does not need file-vault encryption. Please advise in regard to our options.

This seems like a simple question; can anyone help me?

Very slow email connection on one mailserver only

I will try and keep it short but it is complex (to me!):
I have suddenly, since Friday 2 March, experienced very slow connection to one of my ISP's mailservers. Emails without attachments work ok'ish (a little "hesitantly"), emails with attachments of moderate sizes (eg. +/- 500 KB) download/upload extremely slowly and most of the time fail. I have asked my ISP, who are generally helpful, and they have tested the mailserver and can find nothing wrong. So, here we go:
The problem is both for ethernet and wireless.
The problem is for one account only. I have a different account with the same ISP, but on a different mailserver, which works absolutely fine.
Two different Macs have the same problem. The other PCs with different ISP's accounts work fine.
Router is working fine with good internet connection and email via one of the two accounts works fine.
It is not a problem on my computer (since it is the same issue for two machines). Both run OSX 10.6.8
I have tried both Entourage and Outlook on both machines; same problem everywhere - one account works, the other doesn't (properly).
I have tried with my iPhone, using the same wireless connection and same account details, and it downloads emails with attachments speedily - emails that failed to download on the MBP/Outlook.
I have tried one of the machines (a MacBook Pro) at home with a different wireless connection but to the same mailserver and it works fine there!
This happened last Friday and no settings have been changed locally for months.
My conclusion is (but may be wrong):
The router is fine
The macs are fine
The email clients are fine
General connection to internet and mail is fine
The mailserver is probably fine
But a connection between one mailserver account and the two macs has suddenly gone wrong.
It is almost as if there is a setting on either the mailserver saying "I don't like that connection to that place, I will slow it down." or somewhere in this place saying "I don't like that account on that mailserver, I will slow it down."
The question then is:
Which network setting is so specific that it can be this selective? And why did it suddenly happen?
I don't seem to get anywhere, so I'm trying the communities. Any help much appreciated!

Update: After two weeks of scratching my head trying to find any local settings (computer or router) that were specific enough and after really not doing anything at all, normal service resumed suddenly. I have now had a good short week without any disruption or speed issues. The problem that was is still a mystery, though.

Can i use more than one email address for one account

I created one user account. I would like to create and use three separate email address for this one account, which will all show under one profile. Is that possible, and if so, is it free to do so? Thank you.

You can add more identities to a single profile.
Go to Tools -> Account Settings -> <your account> and click the Manage Identities button on the bottom right. That's the place where you can add additional e-mail addresses for your account.

Finder flashes and disappears at top. Computer dead on only one account.

My iMac G4 (800 mhz) running the latest update/version of Tiger is suddenly acting up on one account only. On other accounts, no problem. On the problem account, the finder bar appears and disappears about every second. I can start to open applications (Word, Safari, etc.), but they close before fully opening. No recent changes to the computer and only safe internet surfing (to the best of my knowledge).
My 12-year-old son's homework program is on the account in turmoil. Help, please! Thank you...
iMac G4 800 mhz Mac OS X (10.4.5)

If you don't mind using the Terminal you can get into any account using super user commands. The slickest, and most dangerous way, is to kill Finder and relaunch it as root. The safest way is to launch Terminal from /Applications/Utilities. Next you want to go into the other user's Prefs folder, so type this and hit the Return key:
sudo -s
give your admin password, which is not echoed to the screen, and hit the Return key again. Your regular user name will be changed to root. You can now do whatever you please. Navigate to the other account's Prefs folder:
cd /Users/otheraccount/Library/Preferences
hit the Return key, then type ls and hit Return to see a list of all the Preferences. Here's a sample of me accessing that folder in my test account (short name is revelator) and asking for a list of the files:
Tiger:~ francine$ sudo -s
Tiger:~ root# cd /Users/revelator/Library/Preferences
Tiger:/Users/revelator/Library/Preferences root# ls
From the list of files you can then copy of the name of what you want to remove and paste it in the remove command or type it:
Tiger:/Users/revelator/Library/Preferences root# rm com.apple.finder.plist
After you finish removing the files type
exit
and hit Return.

I use icloud email but (2 email accounts univ and icloud) and i need to have all my outgoing emails come "from" my university account, not my icloud. So how do i do that, note checking the default box for sending new messages only applies to new messages

I am using icloud email but i also have a university account. All my email is fowarded to my icloud account and what i need to do is make sure all of my email that i ship is from my university account and not from my icloud account. I know there is a box that allows the default for all new emails to originate from one account but how do i make sure that all my replies to email (i.e. they have been fowarded from university account to icloud) now go from my university account. please help anyone.

Sorry for the delayed response, yes i want to use my university account when replying to all emails. Note i just discovered something, when i forward my university email to my icloud account and than responded from either my imac of my macbook air (i.e. in icloud) it automatically goes to my university account in the "from" space (good news!!!). That is just what i wanted, . While that is the good news, the bad news is that my iphone and ipad still treat this email as being from icloud even though it is forwarded (redirected) from my university account. That is when i respond to an email (or for that matter create a new email in my icloud account) it automatically lists the icloud account as the "from" account and i have to go in and manually modify it. So i am 50% there to solving my problem (i.e. actually did nothing the systems just worked well) but i still need to figure out a way to make this happen on my ipad and iphone. Any help or suggestions, note the default button in the iphone and ipad for email work differently than the default in the composition menu of the imac or macair.

Getting same email twice AND can't access Manage Internet Email icon

I've just switched to the BlackBerry Curve 8900 from a Curve I had only a few months. I have successfully set up one of my email accounts but I am receiving all emails twice. My office email is on Outlook and I have never had a problem using the "Manage Internet Email" icon to validate the account. However, now, every time I try to click on the icon i get a message saying "Your BlackBerry Internet Email session has expired. Please close your browser and try again." I have gone on to each browser and manually closed them and removed/replaced the battery and still can't get into that icon.
Please help with these two issues!
Thanks!

Safari works fine in one account, but not another

In one account ONLY, Safari doesn't work. I get a "can't connect to internet" error message. In that same account, email works fine, so I know I am connected. Tried emptying Safari folders, re-setting Safari, and downloading the latest Safari. Nothing helps.
Any suggestions?
Many thanks.
RSF

Hi
The usual remedy for "can't connect to Internet" is to add DNS numbers to the Network panel.
Go to System Preferences>Network. Select your connection, then select "advanced". In the DNS panel add these codes:
If you live in the United States: 4.2.2.1 and 4.2.2.2
Outside the US: 208.67.222.220 and 208.67.220.222
Select "OK", then select "apply".
Restart Safari.

Assistant Boot camp on one account

On my mac I have two accounts it is possible to download Assistant Boot Camp on one account only?

You have it turned around.
The Boot Camp Assistant is a system utility /Applications/Utilities and shared by all accounts.
From the utility you download a universal set of Windows drivers - to be saved and used to add motherboard drivers, services, and support AFTER Windows is up and running.
Boot Camp aka "Windows on Mac" is over used to designate too many things and features.
Everything needed though is here:
http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp pay attention to the pdf guide which can aso be printed, saved and exported from Boot Camp Assistant utility.
Again you don't download Boot Camp Assistant, just drivers (600MB)

I have Lion, and I can't see my unread messages count in the dock, even after the preferences set up. I find the Lion Mail too complicated. Leopard was much easier and more simple to use. I only have one account& don't need all the rest. any suggestions

weird.
It's so frustrating, I got my Mac Book 5 days ago and I'm already having a discussion in the forum.
Thank you so much for your prompt replies.
It's past midnight here so I'd better get some rest...
Good night captfred!

When click the email icon on my iphone, it opens on one email only. I can not go to the next or previous email, a different email or anything. It only gives me the option to move that email! How can I stop this. Its been working perfectly well before!

When click the email icon on my iphone, it opens on one email only. I can not go to the next or previous email, a different email or anything. It only gives me the option to move that email! How can I stop this. Its been working perfectly well before!

Now as you may know there is some icons at the bottom of the mail app, at the top left conner you should have the inbox button and on the upper right conner you should have two arrows to shift between emails. If any of those options works try :
Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings
If that does not work try to re add the account
Last but not least, restore as new.
Hope that helps.
