Hide/Unhide Email Account

I think there are many times in one's life where it would be great to be able to hide/unhide an email account (without actually deleting it). For instance, when one is on vacation and doesn't want to be "in touch" with what is going on at work via your mobile device which we often use for both work and personal purposes. It would be great if this feature were available with the next iPhone OS update. I think many people would find it of benefit. Hopefully this will get done!

?? You can already do this. In settings, just go into the settings for a particular email account, and turn it off. When you launch the mail app and it updates, any account turned "off" will not show up. To get it back, just go back into it's settings and turn the account back "on" (it's just a slider switch).
Unless I am completely misunderstanding what you want.

Hide active email account in inbox

Hi,
I am looking for a way to hide some email accounts so they are still active but do not appear under the inbox icon, while allowing others (also active) to still appear. If anybody knows how to do this, I'd greatly appreciate the info. thanks.

My ISP has changed and so has my family's email addresses. There is a 6 month transition period when both the new and old addresses will be functional. I would like to merge the new and old mailboxes (which I can do with rules in mail prefs -ie- move the mail from each old account to each new account) without a lot of similar duplicated account names in the list (which will probably be confusing for the less computer literate members of my family). Thus I would like the old accounts to still function. Thanks for your response.

Hide emails from old email account

I have an email account from a school that i no longer attend. i would like to keep this email account in mail (because i want to occassionally look through the messages) but i don't want the messages to show up in my general inbox. In other words, i only want to see emails from this account when i click on this account -- not when I'm looking through my general inbox. Is this possible?

Tell your friend to send the message to only one of your email addresses.

I have an iPad with IMAP email accounts set up but I can find no "inbox, drafts, trash" folders anywhere, either on my ipad or desktop Mac. How can I set them up? They do not show on my MacMail preferences either and I can find no way to add them.

I have an iPad with IMAP email accounts set up but can find no "inbox, drafts, trash" folders for each email account anywhere on my iPad or in Mac Mail. How can I set them up? I can't find anyway to set them up anywhere. Thanks

Hello blu monkey,
I found some resources that I think might help with the visibility of your IMAP email folders on your iPad and Mac.
On your iPad, you may need to follow the steps in this article to make sure your folders are visible:
iOS: If IMAP Mail folders are not visible
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1393
On your Mac, I am not sure if you have the sidebar enabled, but you can enable it using the steps in the article below. When this is showing, you should see your email account listed near the bottom with a triangle next to it. When the triangle is pointing down, it should show your folders:
Mail (Mountain Lion): Show or hide the sidebar

I have duplicate email accounts icons, NOT recieving duplicate emails just two of the same email icons

I had a blackberry curve 8310 with ATT. I transferred carriers and got a new bold 9650 with sprint. I transferred data from old curve to new bold. But the old email didn't work on new bold. So I went to set up BIS with sprint, it added email account that works. But now I have two icons with the same email address. One works and one doesn't so it is confusing when I am selecting address to compose email. How do I delete email icon/account. I hid the icons but when composing email, it still shows two of the same email in the From:

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!!
I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
1) Register HRT
KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
2) Delete and Resend Service Books
KB05000Delete the service book for the BlackBerry Internet Service email account from the BlackBerry smartphone
KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
3) Batt Pull Reboot
Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Hopefully that will get things going again for you!

How to Dynamically Hide-Unhide Report Details

Is there a technique to hide/unhide data?
I am creating a report that summarizes transaction data. The users want the opportunity to review the details behind the summary as the report is being reviewed.
Is there a way to hide the detail data while providing a mechanism for the reviewer to view the detail as desired?
TIA

I have implemented this in BI Publisher enterprise and using the desktop version and I don't get this error..
I did come across another thread that discusses this error. R12: Namespace prefix 'dhtml' used but not declared.
Not sure if that addresses your setup and issue.. You can send me your template to [email protected] if you would like me to take a look.
Thanks!

Removing an old email account

I found out how to hide the old account but I have no idea how to delete them??   Does anyone know..Thank You

Hi there!
See this demo:
http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/blackberry101/setup.jsp#tab_tab_email
Rather than adding an account, delete it when you get to the screen showing your various configured email conduits
Good luck and let us know!

2 email accounts

I have a user who added a second email account to their Blackberry 8330 Curve. The second account is Verison. Her Messages icon is now getting email from both accounts (when she clicks that icon, she get email from both accounts). Is it possible to have only the primary account (work) email go to the Messages icon? I am trying to get only her work email to go to the Messages icon. She created a second Verison icon and that seems to work fine (i.e. she is only getting her Verison email in that icon).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The main messages folder will collect ALL email. Hide the secondary email specific icon, it is not needed. You can't delete it.
IF she is a BES email users, you can separate her BES email out to a separate email inbox.

The mailbox list is divided into categories with headings in caps, such as ON MY MAC. When you hover the cursor over one of those headings (except for MAILBOXES), you should see the word Show or Hide on the right. Click Show. The MAILBOXES category can't be hidden.
In each category, the mailboxes are arranged in groups, such as Inbox. To the left of each group is a small disclosure triangle. If the triangle points to the right, click it so that it points down.

How do I set up a second iCloud email account?

Well Roger , it may not be particularly difficult for you it is quiet clear that for several thousand people who managed to find the time to seek out help for these devices and programs that the manufacturer is unable or unwilling to provide it is at the very least "difficult"! If we are to tally up the amount of questions and inquiries posted on this one help site, I shudder to think of the size of the iceberg of inoperative functions and thus lost revenue to all those people , company's that like me have found things "difficult "! Last summer I created a "I cloud " address in a hurry while in dep lounge LHR
And now wish to change as above is reputed to be used by notorious thugs who assault seniors on streets and post result on Web, useing same letters that I had hastily typed prior to Flt over pond. Alas like you I am now aware of the inability of changing address and thus wish to create " alias" to at least hide offending letters . The can of worms gets more difficult as my main comp is an antique HP windows 7 on which I have installed Apple control panel ! Thus I get duplicate mail on an MSN Acc plus Hot mail that is still unable to decide if it wants to be known as "Outlook " or not? All the folders created by me for "HotMail " will show up with some persuasive tapping but will not allow the release to view their contents? If I click on "cloud mail" "no mail" message is shown! I can deposit info /file in Cloud mail "archive" but only if I navigate to " Mail box Accounts" first ? If I want to create a file , no facility seems to be available ? So info/files that warrant saving /filing are left flagged ,sloshing about in the InBox or stuffed into over burdened "Cloud Account!
I have tried to follow instructions in Apple Corp official instructions ,both I Pad and Cloud and am unable to locate the term "preferences" as no "Action pop up menu * has shown itself! thus I am unable click "Accounts" or "add an Alias" !
I must confess I have been very rude to the Micro Soft people in the past for my inability to grapple with their system , but now think perhaps I am the problem as Parkinson's will affect cognitive function?...... Your remark re expecting "free" mail box features in my opinion is a bit like the car salesman saying " No Sir, that is the price for the car , the oil ,
Anti freeze , trans fluid , battery acid are all extra!!??..... Carry on London!!!!

Email accounts on home screen

Hello,
First of all thanks for any assistance.
I am attempting to setup 2 email accounts on a Blackberry Tour. The emails are setup properly and sending / receiving is working with no issues at all.
My question is related to the home screen. The following link is a screenshot of the phone's home screen.
http://imgur.com/zMyjn.jpg
The first icon (left to right) shows all of my messages from both of my email accounts, let's call them accounts A and B. The second mail icon shows messages from ONLY Email Account B. How can I make it so the first icon only shows messages from account A and the second icon behaves as it does now, showing only messages from account B?
Thanks for any help

By default, BES email is put only into the Messages icon/app. BIS emails are placed into their own icons, but they remain contained in the main Messages app. This is how it works by default. It is not redundant -- rather, think of Messages as the catch-all place, with the independent BIS icons being a filter, pulling (from Messages) to them only the messages that pertain to them...but if you act on an email (read, delete, etc.) in one, the change will be reflected in the other.
Your BES Admin can push a BES-only email icon to your device. This solution is free, but must be conducted at the BES server, and will affect all users on that BES server.
KB15003 How to create a separate icon on the BlackBerry smartphone for only BlackBerry Enterprise Server messages
Or you can get the Empower BES Inbox application. This solution costs (per user), but does not require a change at the server, and only affects the one user.
http://www.getempower.com/Empower_BES_MailBox.php
Or, if your device OS has the option, you can dictate what shows in Messages:
Homescreen > Messages > > Options > (Main Message List Settings) or (Inbox Settings) > uncheck what you want to suppress in Messages
Neither of the first two solutions will do anything about Messages -- it will continue to contain everything that it today contains. All they will do is activate an additional icon on your homescreen that is a filter for your BES-only emails. You can hide or move the Messages icon/app somewhere out of the way, but beware -- there are more than just emails that arrive in Messages...there will come a day when you have a new message flag and only by digging through Messages will you be able to find that message.
Hopefully that helps explain how it all works!
Good luck!

Hide my email address

I want to send emails to people using adobe, but i want to
hide my email so i dont get spam. How do i do this?
ad links removed

If you are using the Mail program to send the email then you can't leave the From: field blank. What you could do is put a false email address in the preferences for the account ([email protected]), but now anyone who has set their filters to only accept mail from known addresses will send you straight to the bit-bucket, so you would want to warn your recipients first. They would not, of course, be able to reply to your messages.

Hi Apple support, my name is Derek Turner and I have been hacked through a friend's email account and I wish to know if 1. I can clean my email list of names and account with software and 2. How is it possible to delete emails that are still coming back

Hi! My name is Derek Turner and I have been hacked through a friend's email message to me which I opened unsuspecting any danger. Initially, he sent me an 'attention' or warning email with a link which I tried to open but it could not be opened, so I left it not knowing what it was all about at the time. Later, I received another email from him (probably the hacker) and opened a 'not very pleasant' web site. It did not twig with me at the time as I am a bit new to this type of thing but when I mentioned it to my wife she immediately said that I had been 'hacked'. By this time it was too late, and it infected all my email addresses! I would be grateful if you may know if there is software that I can use to clean up my email account and if there is anything for iPad minis that can prevent this happening in future? (Malware, Firewall?). I am also getting emails back that relate to the hacker and I cannot 'delete' them from my iPad, only on my PC! Any suggestions?
Thank you for your time regarding this matter,
Derek Turner,( a very new iPad mini user!)

Hi,
I don't think that can be solved by any advice the regular posters could post here.
I would go back to Apple and explain the situation (again).
I would also consider closing the account (Apple rarely seem to do this as accounts are never deleted but just closed).
I understand this may cause issues for things purchased in iTunes and the App Store which my include Restoring the OS at some point.
