Enabling / Disabling Email accounts during working Hours

All,
I have my work email and personal email coming in to the same account under Mail. I am finding on weekends i am getting new email into my work account (nothing abnormal there) but worst i am reading and responding to them - i.e. should be enjoying the weekend not working but the self discipline is lacking and temptation to read them is just too much!
i would like an automatic way to either exclude the work email being received during Sat / Sun or find a way (thought about script excuted from iCal) that could disable / enable work email Friday night / Monday morning. Either that or any configurable app that allows me similiar control over the accounts
Any ideas on best ways to acheive.
Many Thanks
JPS

Sorry for clarification - i have two email accounts, both going into a single Mail under a single user login; ones a .Mac account, one's an IMAP account connecting to work.
They already both go to individual mail boxes so i don't need to set up rules to split, the issue i am trying to get around is avoiding looking at new email that arrives in my work email box during the weekends.
Please don't get me wrong, its an irritation i would like to avoid rather than a system critical issue so refinement being the objective purely with geek-hat on rather than desperate-user.
Any thoughts on solving welcomed!

Yes Verizon has contacted me by phone. I never scheduled a call time nor did I call them. They also are not making it easy to contact them through email. I need to discuss a way to assure that my phone is never called again during work hours without a prearranged meeting. I will not speak on the phone nor use a live chat. I want email as I want this documented offical and no other means offeres me that assurance. I'd also like to discuss comensation for being harrassed with phone calls.

Well if you pay your bill the calls would not happen.
You need only tell them not to call you during working time.
The Fair Debt Collections Practices Act states you must tell them it is not convenient.
Now if marketing calls you can opt out at the Verizon web portal under your My Verizon account.
You will not get compensation for them to call you. Nice try.
However they could just shut your phone off and then you will call them.
Email is not an option.
Good Luck

POP Email Account Not working after update to 1.1.1

After I updated to 1.1.1, I noticed my email wasn't working quite right, so I did a complete restore, and in the process of setting everything back up, I can not get my personal pop email account to work. After creating a new account with the "Other" option, I enter all the correct information, and when I hit "save", I get this message: Secure Connection Failed, Certificate for "Personal" may be invalid.
It then gives me the option to Cancel or Continue, but hitting continue just hangs. Any thoughts? It was working properly before the update, and my desktop client is still connecting and receiving emails, so nothing has changed on my ISP's end.
Thanks,
Kenton

Given that other posts mention two prompts: first that "certificate may be invalid" and second "would you like to connect without SSL?" (paraphrase), I decided to hit "continue" on the first dialog and see what happened in my case. After doing so, I was NOT prompted a second time, so it would SEEM that my SSL connection completed normally after all. For others in this circumstance who require/demand SSL, you may want to try continue on the first prompt to see if it just works.
By all appearances, I still have a secure pipe to my email. It's a shame that this prompt and the results of "continue" aren't better at indicating what the actual issue is.
Note that in my case, I'm probably prompted about the certificate because I don't have a globally-signed SSL cert. I am just using one that I created myself and imported into the Mac OS X keychain. This cert was sync'd beautifully (thank you Apple!) to my phone originally, and appears to still be working. A check of the mail prefs on the iphone still show both inbound/outbound mail to have SSL "on" so it doesn't appear to have been disabled by 1.1.1 or by my pressing "Continue".
I believe that this 1.1.1 update was a deep enough update of the OS that it is merely warning me again (in an unfortunately cryptic way) that the certificate is not signed by global cert authorities. I think it did the same thing when I first set up the iPhone (1.0) but hasn't prompted me again like this on any updates since.

Arlington, MA degraded network performance during working hours

Anybody got any thoughts or any Verizon tech want to pick this one up.
Gone through the usual troubleshooting steps, and am getting a new router shipped out, but not likely to rectify the problem as over past several days service has degrarde during working hours.
Internet connectivity intermittently fails for a few seconds to a minute and restores. Everything remians good with the router and my wired connection.
Bandwidth is good 50/20, but service drops, frequently trhoughout the day.
Initial tech said there was a "signal" issue, and now everything has been "rebooted", but issue remained...until about 6.00pm and no drops since then. Issues starts at around 9.00am.

I would suggest searching this forum and the Xsanity Forum, because there are quite a few posts about the Public network showing up in Xsan Admin. You would need to verify a few things, which are described in these posts. But most of the time, the Public Address in Xsan Admin is normal behavior.
I was chasing that down for a very long time, before I was comfortable saying that it wasn't a major issue. It seems like a quick way of testing how you client machine is connecting to your MDC, is to disable to the Private Network on your Client Machine, Reboot and see if Xsan admin will find the MDC. (of course, this test assumes that the client machine is the one that Xsan Admin is run from). If it can't find the MDC then your Client is talking to the MDC on the Private Network like it is suppose to.

How can I set up my shaw email account to work on my iphone?

How can I set up my Shaw email account to work on my iphone? It doesn't want to work no matter what I try. Shaw's help line hasn't been very helpful so far.

Have you not used the automatic 'configure my MobileMe' on my iPhone account setup ?

You only have name, email address, password and a name for the account to enter.

Cant get help with this issue on Apple Support, so I have to go to the Apple store to the Genius Bar to get assistance. All the help issues are so technical in their jargon, that I cannot understand how to fix the issue.

How can I get my mac email account to work?

How can I get my mac email account to work?

That requires you to enter the configuration correctly. You can find out the configuration for your email from your ISPs website in most cases. Or if you're using Gmail, Yahoo, or Hotmail you need only Google something like:
"Gmail configuration for Apple Mail" or "Hotmail configuration for Apple Mail" (without the quotes).
That should get you started..

Why not just create an Apple ID for her and then you wont have any problems. Login on iMessage and Facetime using her ID and do the rest with your ID. It will work i tried it on my iPad

Disabled Email Account Sent feature in outlook is not working

In outlook, is easy to setup one email account just to receive emails.
Example:
Account A receive/send emails
Account B receive only.
This is easily setup by configuring the send/receive groups (link: http://smallbusiness.chron.com/remove-send-account-outlook-2012-67137.html)
But this is not working! I configured account B to receive only and I can send emails using Account B without any problems. Any idea? This is driving me crazy! I tested in 3 different computers with the same results.
Any ideas?

When you change the S/R group, you just tell it not to use that account in the group. You need to 1) use a fake SMTP server and 2) set the account in any and all S/R to not send mail (to avoid error messages). I have steps and screenshots for a
send only POP3 here - use the same method for receive only pop3, with the servers and settings reversed.

One of my blackberry playbook email accounts quit working and I have done everything in my power to get it back up and going to no avail. I finally deleted it and tried to put it back on. Forget that. What is up with this? I have had playbook from the sta

now i am really frustrated with it. Every single update has robbed me of battery power which began with about 8-10 hours of usage and now I am lucky if I get 2 hours. It isn't the battery. It has something to do with the updates to the OS. It was fine until the first one and it has only gotten worse each time. I have had three email accounts on here since they started with the message app and now it has gone crazy. It gives me a server error message each time. I put in the same settings for it as the ones on my laptop to no avail. I am ready to scream. I have worked for days trying to get this email account back on my BB playbook, NOT! And also I want another reader on here. Kobo is great, but I would love to have another option as well. I tried to put some pdf books on it a few days ago and they wouldn't show up when I put them on. Some did and some didn't. I am so frustrated with playbook. I have loved it till the last 2 weeks. Now, I am extremely frustrated to say the least. Well I have been upset about the battery thing almost from the get go. Can anyone help with the email thing. My email is a bellsouth account. I have 2 yahoo accounts on it and they seem to be fine, but afraid to take them off and re-put them all back on lest they should do the same thing.

There is nothing wrong with the OS update.
Delete ALL your email accounts.
Restart Playbook
Put the accounts back and ensure they are all set with PUSH ON. Manual (push off) will burn battery.
Similarly delete your wifi connections and add back when required.
Turn off wifi is not connected to wifi.
Any "hunting for connection" in email or wifi will burn up battery.

How to enable group email accounts

Hi all,
I have spent a while fiddling with (and breaking) my OSX Lion 10.7.4 Server install trying to get group emails working. I would just like to share how I did it.
Follow the below how to.
#!/bin/bash
# Group EMail Enabler v0.2
# Jeff Johnson <[email protected]>
# Tested with OS X Server 10.6 and 10.7
# Should also work with 10.5
# This script allows you to manage email groups using Work Group Manager.
# If you create an executive group in WGM, you then have a executive@ email address
# This is automatically maintained as you adjust the members
# The script searches your LDAP groups for the word 'mail' in the comment field
# You must add mail to the comment field for any group which should have an email address.
# The email address for that group will be the shortname of that group.
# If you miss this step (add 'mail' to the comment field), this script does nothing.
# Known issues
# 1. Only supports groups in LDAP, users can be in LDAP or Local
# 2. Does not support other groups within your email group (no nested groups)
# 3. Almost no error checking, so best to run it manually a few times to check results.
# Installation Instructions
# 1. Save this file as
#       /usr/sbin/group_email.sh
# 2. Then adjust permissions
#       sudo chmod +x /usr/sbin/group_email.sh
# 3. Modifiy alias_maps in /etc/postfix/main.cf
#    You need to add this line to what you already have
#        hash:/etc/postfix/group_aliases
#     Example, you have:
#        alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
#     Change to:
#        alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases, hash:/etc/postfix/group_aliases
# 4. To run automatically every 5 minutes, I prefer a simple addition to /etc/crontab
#      you may need to create /etc/crontab if it doesn't exist
#      Add the following to /etc/crontab
#            */5 * * * * root /usr/sbin/group_email.sh >> /dev/null 2>&1
# If you followed these instructions, within 5 minutes you will see an alias file at
# /etc/postfix/groupaliases
# you can inspect the file to confirm the results.
cd /etc/postfix
# clear current aliases
echo "" > group_aliases.tmp
# Get list of groups with 'mail' in the comment field
gr=`dscl /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 -list /Groups Comment | grep mail | awk '{print $1}'`
for group in $gr
   do
      echo $group: `dscl /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 -read /Groups/$group dsAttrTypeNative:memberUid | cut -d : -f 3 | grep -v "No such key"` >> group_aliases.tmp
   done
cmp -s group_aliases.tmp group_aliases > /dev/null
   if [ $? -eq 1 ]; then
      echo different
      cp group_aliases.tmp group_aliases
      /usr/sbin/postalias /etc/postfix/group_aliases
      /usr/bin/newaliases
   else
      echo same
   fi
exit
The only additional thing I had to do with Lion Server 10.7.4 was add hash:/etc/postfix/group_aliases to the alias_maps AND alias_database in /etc/postfix/main.cf then run "newaliases" and "postfix reload"
Hopefully this helps the next person to get it all running quicker than I did
Cheers
Ryan

I've gone through it a few times and can't see any differences to the one you posted so am at a loss as to why its not working..
Thanks

Setting up email account not working

i went on my blackberry and set up my email account and nothing happened. no email icon on home screen, no emails, nothing. then i tried getting a new service book and registering by going options-> advanced options-> Host Routing Table -> register and then reset my blackberry again and set up the email account again and it still doesnt work. i even tried setting it up on the website and it says "a email icon should appear on your home screen" but nothing appeared. I have a data plan so im sure i can set up a email but its just not working. I googled all the instructions online and tried them all at least once and none of it works )= any suggestions or new ideass?
thx in advanceeee

oh days? lol, it should happen with a couple hours at the most.
Are you certain you've got your device PIN registered on your service provider's network?
I would suggest you double check with them that ALL is correct and your plan is correct. It must be if you are able to login to your BIS BlackBerry account site.... but still, if not email is setup after "days" you've got some larger problem.

Can't get one email account to work again after deleting it

I have been using a 9800 for ages with two separate email accounts; one is a work account and the other a personal Gmail account. I also back up my phone regularly to a computer
I deleted the work accout for a holiday and, prior to re-installing it, found that I could temporaily disable the receipt of emails for a particular account by applying a filter. I recreated the work acount on my phone and, apart from being surprised that some of my old emails were still present, also tried to create a filter.
I'm now in a position where no work emails are getting through to my phone despite deleting the filter I created and having gone through all of the settings on the phone. All the settings for the work account appear to be the same, where applicable, as for the Gmail account but only the latter is working. I've also restored the email settings only from a backup when everything was working OK.
Any ideas please?

Hi Neil380 and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums!
Are you using a BlackBerry Enterprise Server to get your work email on yoru BlackBerry smartphone or do you have it setup using Outook Web Access, IMAP or POP?
Can you send me your PIN via Private Message so I can take a look into this further for you?
Thanks.

After upgrading to Yosemite, one of a few other problems, is that I can't connect to my Telus email account. I re-entered username, and password, I get a message that the password can't be transmitted securely, I go ahead anyway but it still doesn't connect, i called up Telus i spent 3 hours on the phone trying to resolve this problem , Telus got it back ,but only for a while, they finally gave up.I called Apple they got the Telus Email back , but still can not keep the server working, i really complained to apple about this new OS X update, and told them they are creating more problems , with those awful updates, they apologize , and trying to fix the problem, my TELUS account is still not working.I will try again tomorrow. What a day wasted on the phone
