How can I set up 2 email accounts in Mail

It's me again.
I'm trying to set up Mail 2.1.3. in 10.4.11. I have 2 email accounts. I can enter one just fine but it won't take another. When I try, it says that I "already have a POP account". How do I set up 2 email accounts? I see where I can enter the 2 email addresses by separating them by a comma. But the 2 addresses have different passwords and the password box takes only one password at a time. Any ideas?

It's hard for me to tell by what has been written so far, but it may be referring to what you are entering for the account description. That is, in Mail Prefs > Accounts > Acct Info, for each account it has several entries: Acct Type (that you can't change), Description, email address, full name. If the first account's description is POP, then make the second account's description POP2. I use terms like, "home", "work", and "school" for my accounts' descriptions.
If this is not what is going on, please write down every step you do, and every entry you make, as you try to configure your second email account and post it back here. Naturally, do NOT disclose your actual email address(es) or mail account login name or its password to us here.

How do I set up my email account on my iMac OS Yosemite 10.10.2 so that the emails are downloaded to my computer and removed from the ISP server?

how do I set up my email account on my iMac OS Yosemite 10.10.2 so that the emails are downloaded to my computer and removed from the ISP server?

When setting up the email using Apple 'Mail' (version 8.2 (2070.6)) I do not get an option to set up my email as using POP. I can go to Outlook from Microsoft and I get a chance to set my mail up using POP, however I would prefer to use the Apple supplied 'Mail' email programme as I'm using Office 365 and may not want to continue the subscription sometime in the future.
Any advice on setting Mail to POP would be appreciated. A not so Happy Wombat.

How do I set up imap email account on iPad air 2

How do I set up imap email account on iPad air 2

You do not need to specify the type of account. If its IMAP, when you add the account it will detect that automatically.
Alternatively, you can enter a fake email address and password when adding the account, and wait for the process to fail, you should then get an option at the top to select between IMAP and POP3
You can then change the details of the account to the correct ones.

How do I set a personal email account to be POP when it defaults to IMAP?

Hello there
I need to set up my client's email account on his Storm (O2) to POP however the Blackberry Internet Service (and also the device) detect that IMAP is available and sets it to IMAP.
This is really urgent as it is causing issues and I have had no luck with O2 and am now desperate.
Please help!

Hello,
There is nothing you can do via the device nor even the carrier BIS interface. BIS will default to the "best" quality connection it finds on the server you direct it to. If that server is running both POP and IMAP, BIS will use IMAP. You cannot override it. The only way it can be different is if the email provider has separate servers for POP and IMAP. Then, by directing BIS to the proper server, BIS will configure for what that server is handing out.
Hope that helps!

How do I set my default email client?

When a website, in my case a Fantasy Football site, has an option to send a mass email to all members, that function does not work for me in Firefox. How do I set Firefox to allow for such mass emails sent via another site?

Firefox is set up to use Gmail or Yahoo if you have those accounts. This article describes the steps: [[Change the program used to open email links]].

How do i set the default email in turbo?

i have 2 email accounts set up under email, but how can i make one the default should i want to send something that requires email from the account that i want as default??

As a fellow Turbo owner, I have to say that's a great question! I actually have two email accounts as well (Hotmail Gmail), and my Hotmail is the primary. Curious: Are either of your email accounts Gmail? Have you tried discontinuing either of them, and then readding?

How can I set up multiple email accounts in one folder in Thunderbird?

Hello; first time poster here.
I own a business that has several email accounts. I am trying to create a folder (titled my business name), then set up all of the email accounts for my business so they all are in that one folder. I have tried for two days to figure this out and can't seem to do it.
I have been using Outlook, but it has too many whistles and bells and is way to slow, so I thought I'd give TB a try.
Can anyone explain IF this is possible, and if so, how can I do it?
Thanks in advance for any and all assistance.

NME is a good alternative. In the beginning it was bugy and I stopped taking it onwards in my future considerations. Nowadays it is grown to a serious service. Def. something to count in your options!
