Help with multiple Mail accounts

There are two user accounts on my computer. I am the administrator and recently set-up a .Mac email-only account for the secondary user.
Now, in the Mail application, I am receiving the mail for both myself AND the secondary user in my box. How do I set up the Mail for account #2 so it is totally seperate from my own?
Thanks.

Is this email only account (not an alias account)
available in the Mail application as a separate
account under your admin login account?
Yes, I believe so. When I'm logged in as admin, I can see both accounts in preferences. Is that what you mean?
Since an email only account is created as a separate
email account in Mail, I don't know how you would be
receiving messages addressed to the email only
account unless you also created the account in Mail
under your login account.
That's likely what happened. How can I fix? Should I delete the second account created under my admin login and re-create it somewhere else?

IMAP server with multiple mail account on multiple mail clients

Hello,
I have the following problem that I would like to share with the community in order to find a solution.
On my Mac OS X Maverick (OS X 10.9.3 (Build 13D65)) Server (Server 3.1.2 (Build 13S4517)) I configured dovecot (Ver. 2.2) as IMAP server.
I created 8 email accounts on the server and I started the email traffic on the system.
It works well and it sound good! But...
I started to configure different mail clients (i.e. OS Mail, Thunderbird, Outlook (different release, same behavior)) on different client machines (i.e. Mac OS X, Windows xxx, Lubuntu 14.04).
On each client I have to configure all 8 emails accounts previously created on the Server and...
Something strange start to appear...
1. On the dovecot error file a lot of messages appear like the following:
    Jul 02 16:56:55 imap(pid 15241 user <xxxxx>): Fatal: setuid(505(<xxxxx>) from userdb lookup) failed with euid=506(<yyyyy>): Operation not permitted (This binary should probably be called with process user set to 505(<xxxxx>) instead of 506(<yyyyy>))
   but also if it's not normal there are not problems and dovecot works fine...
2. Sometime on the Thunderbird and Outlook clients a message that says that some account has been disconnected appears...
   but also this problem appears a false because by moving on the different accounts configured I'm able to see the right emails present on the Server
3. On the OS Mail clients I see continuously error messages that say that some account has been disconnected...
   but also in this case the problem appears a false because by moving on the different accounts configured I'm able to see the right emails present on the Server (also if with some trouble more than the other email clients...)
Now, the question is: have you may be information about problems with this kind of configuration? Maybe am I trying to make something that at the moment is not possible to be made? Or, have I found a bug (or more than one) in the components that I'm using?
Thanks a lot to all the people that will help me

Assuming you're on a NAT'd network, DNS services can cause all sorts of weird errors with the mail server, including spontaneous name changes.
To verify local DNS services, launch Terminal.app from Applications > Utilities and issue the following harmless diagnostic message:
sudo changeip -checkhostname
You'll need to enter an administrative password for the sudo, might see a one-time informational message around the usage of sudo, then you'll see some host and network configuration information, and finally an indication that either no changes are required, or that there are local DNS or the network has configuration issues. Also, make sure you're not using .local or .arpa as the top-level domain within the DNS services.
Public DNS for the mail server can also cause communications issues, if that's not configured correctly — that won't cause the issue you're seeing in the logs here, but it will cause inbound mail to not reach your server, and outbound mail from your server to be dropped by the remote server. To verify your public DNS, launch Terminal.app from Applications > Utilities and issue the commands discussed in this thread or this thread and confirm that your internal and external MX record and your internal and external forward and reverse DNS settings are all correct.

Help with multiple ADE accounts

Hi, I have a bit of a problem and was hoping someone more wise in the ways of Adobe could help me out, as my searching has failed so far. Back when I first got into ereading, I discovered Sony and set myself an account with them under my college email. Then I was given my Kobo Vox, which I setup under my personal email, and have mostly used since. I am going to be losing the college email, and my old prs-350 sony is dying. Back then I didn't realize that doing it that way created two different Adobe ID's. I was wondering if there was some way to merge the accounts under my personal email,and keep both sets of books. I know if I sign in to the ADE website, I can change my email address, will that make it so all the books from both stores will have the same Adobe ID? Or can I call Adobe customer service and have them do it? Has anyone managed that?

I see that I was wrong: it is possible to merge accounts (as long as you have id and password for both)
from: http://www.datalogics.com/pdf/doc/acs/JointAccountGuide.pdf
How do I find out which accounts are joined together?
You can go to this page: https://adeactivate.adobe.com/adept/en/JoinAccountLoginForm.jsp to see
which accounts are joined together.

Help with multiple itunes accounts

Hello, I have multiple purchases from multiple apple id's on my devices. These were all legitimately my purchases; however, depending on the company I was working for, etc. I couldn't have my personal itunes on the company computers. I used older programs, etc. to pull the songs off of my phone and into new apple id accounts, etc. Bottom line, many apple purchases under several apple ids but all made by me through accounts set up by me. However, I am thoroughly confused and do not know the names of these older accounts at this time nor do I have the ability to access the email that I used to set-up the account if I could remember the email aaddress used. Please, is there anyway to join my different apple id purchases under my main apple id that I currently use?
Thank you!

No, sorry. You cannot merge AppleIDs nor can you transfer purchases. No way around that at this time.

Help with multiple itunes accounts and NOT sharing

I have 3 apple ID's. One is for my work iphone, one is for my personal iphone, and I have one for my son's ipod Nano 6th generation.
I only have one desktop computer and it is a PC.
How can I keep my child's music for his ipod off my iphones?
I read the help tool about using different itunes libraries, but will that keep my devices separated when I sync?

No, sorry. You cannot merge AppleIDs nor can you transfer purchases. No way around that at this time.

Signatures with multiple mail accounts

I've got thee email accounts running on my iPhone, one is work and the other two personal. I want my work email to have a signature, but I don't want this showing when I send personal email.
From what I can tell there is only the option to have one signature, which would ten show whenever sending an email from whatever account, is this right?

You can try our iPhone app, search for "Email Signature Lite" or "Email Signature Pro" in the App store. The Lite version is free, the Pro version allows up to 6 signatures, and has more control over formatting (font/size/bold/italic).

Mail with multiple gmail accounts sending messages from wrong email, other than the one i select

mail with multiple gmail accounts sending messages from wrong email, other than the one i select:
i'm using mail on osx 10.7 with multiple gmail accounts. when i create an email, i check to be sure i'm sending/replying from the correct account. after i send it, somehow it actually sends it from a different account, other than the one i've selected "from." this is evidenced by the reply email i receive. how can i fix this?
in preferences, i have "send new messages from : account of selected mailbox"

From the Mail menu bar, select
          Mail ▹ Preferences...
The Mail preference dialog opens. Select the Composing tab from the row of icons at the top. From the menu labeled
          Send new messages from:
choose
          Account of selected mailbox
Note that this setting may have no effect if you start a new message while a VIP or smart mailbox is selected in the mailbox list. Those are saved searches, not actual mailboxes.
If the problem remains, select the Accounts tab in the preference dialog, then select the affected account in the list on the left.
In the Account Information pane, select the correct server in the menu labeled
          Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)
If there's only one server in the menu, select
          Edit SMTP Server List...
and add a new server with the correct settings. If you're not sure how to do that, try the Mail Settings Lookup.
Another possibility is that the wrong card in your address book is selected as yours. Select your card in the Contacts application. Then select
          Card ▹ Make This My Card
from the menu bar.

Each family member and regular user of this iMac family computer should have their own computer login account without admin privileges. You can disable automatic login so each user must manually enter their login password to login to their account and gain access to their Home folder/directory including all their own data stored within. Each family member creates their email account only with Mail under their login account.
OS X was designed for multiple users of the same computer in this way with each user's home folder/directory and any other data stored within kept separate and protected from other users.
You can enable Fast User Switching to make the process of switching between multiple login accounts a fast and easy process.
When one family member is done using the computer under their login account, they can simply log off or select another user via Fast User Switching. With automatic login disabled, no one will be able to login to someone else's account unless they provide their password.

This is the best and only way to make this work.

How can I share only the same music with multiple iTunes accounts

Hello
I hope someone can help. [I am using Windows Vista (Unfortunately J) and iTunes 10]
I am trying to share the same music library with multiple iTunes accounts. Basically, I want to know if there is a way to automatically upload to other libraries when importing new music into my library, vice versa. [Better information below]
Me, my sister and my dad all use iTunes (on different iTunes accounts), and before now we used to have are own music on our own windows user. Due to many duplicates and a loss of hard drive space I have brought an external hard drive and organised all the music.
It was all going well - I first populated all the music onto my iTunes, exported the library, and then imported it on both the other users. However! Because this is only a copy of the library, when I try to import a new CD, it will not show up on there’s until I “Add File to Library”! Originally I thought about using the same library however we each have are own apps etc, that we don’t want to share.
If you need anymore information please ask!
Matt

Hello roaminggnome
Unfortunately the support is down at the moment, I will have a better look later. I did go though the Apple support previously, however I found nothing that worked.
The first thread I came across was “Home Sharing” however no mater what I did, it did not appear in the iTunes sharing list (I did go though the “Show Sharing Networks” support as well)
Secondly, I saw “Using A Single Library With Multiple Accounts On The Same PC” (Something like that) but all this did was let us share the same music location, if I was to rip extra music, it will not show in there library

Accessing multiple mail accounts comming from same incomming mail server

What is the trick to accessing multiple mail accounts comming from the same incoming mail server with the same user ID and password?
I have a website that I run all of my mail through and I have never been able to check more than one configured mail account using "MAIL".
Thanks

Hi Sparky,
You can configure mutliple accounts easily enough. Preferences > Accounts, then the Account Information tab. You are providing email address, incoming server, username and password for each.
First account: [email protected]; mail.host.com; sparky; sparkypassword
Second account: [email protected]; mail.host.com; sparky; sparkypassword
Check, as noted above, that all accounts are set to enabled and to autocheck: Both settings are under the Advanced tab. Then exit and save. Now your inbox will show a disclosure triangle. Click it and you'll see both accounts.
Does that explain enough? Are you haveing a problem doing this or just weren't sure how?
Let us know!
Good luck,
John

TS4020 family with multiple apple accounts, can we create a secondary "family" account?

family with multiple apple accounts, can we create a secondary "family" account?

You can perfectly well create a new separwate iCloud account: for this you will need to create a new Apple ID for which you will need a non-Apple email address you haven't used elsewhere for iCloud.
That done, everyone can sign into it in System Preferences (or Settings)>Mail, Contacts & Calendars and enable the various data types in the checklist there. This is a 'secondary account': its email, Contacts and Calendars will appear alongside those in the existing 'primary account' but you don't get 'push' email (it's checked periodically) and it cannot use PhotoStream.
Note that if you've been using the same device to create other accounts, there is a limit of three iCloud accounts which can be created by any one device, so if that's been reached you would have to use another device: once done the first device can sign into it perfectly well.

New Mac User: iTunes Auth with multiple user accounts

With a Mac with multiple user accounts, does EACH user account need to have iTunes authorized, or is iTunes authorized for an entire mac machine?

So then I assume that iTunes will know then if each of the computer's user accounts has a different iTunes account?
When you authorize an iTunes account on your computer, the authorization info is stored in \Users\Shared\. When you run iTunes, it looks there to see if it can play purchases. The purchase account info is embedded into each purchased file.

1 Apple TV 2nd Gen, Windows 7 Computer with multiple user accounts

The issue that I am having is I have 1 Apple TV 2nd Gen and Windows 7 Computer with multiple user accounts.
When I log onto my Windows user account, open up Itunes and turn on home sharing my Apple TV work perfect but if another family member switches to their Windows user account without logging me out, the home share shows up on Apple TV but it just says "Loading ... Library" and never loads.
If we switch back to my user account, restart iTunes, everything is fine. Is there a way to keep my home share active in ATV2 across multiple user accounts? All of my video is under my account.

You can home-share multiple libraries but only use one account at a time.
