How do I set up two accounts with two separate mail applications?

My wife and I have two separate email accounts. At home she gets her mail on her computer and mine on my computer. While traveling I would like to be able to allow her to get her email on my laptop. I set up the 2nd account and activated it but her email comes in mixed with mine. How can I set up a separate mail program for her account?
Thanks in Advance,
Jim Conrad

Hello Jim.
As already provided, open Inbox to reveal the Inbox for each account. Selecting an account's Inbox mailbox reveals messages received by that account only in the message list. Selecting Inbox reveals a "blended" Inbox mailbox for all accounts.
The same applies to Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk in the mailboxes drawer.
If you want these accounts to be truly separate, create a login account on your iBook for your wife - with or without admin privileges. Your wife can create her email account only in Mail under her login account and you can delete her account from Mail under your login account.
This way, each others' email accounts are kept completely separate along with all other data in each other's Home folder/directory. OS X was designed for multiple users in this way.
You can enable Fast User Switching which makes the process of switching between multiple login accounts a fast and easy process.
There are some families with 4 or more family members that use a single Mac in this way. Each login account can have their own Desktop background and settings, etc., etc. so when logging in to their account the Mac seems like it is theirs only.
This link focuses on setting up separate user login accounts for kids but the effect is the same.

  • Set up itunes account with two different credit cards

    Is it possible to set up an existing iTunes Store Account with two different credit cards?
    I am currently registered with a personal card but wish to make one purchase for work (Lion OS) using a company credit card.
    many other sites let you choose what card to pay from, multiple addresses, etc. but I don't see any options from apple site.
    for this purchase I am considering:
    1. going into the "edit payment information".
    2. editing all the info related to the company card and address.
    3. completing the purchase and download
    4. going back to the payment info and putting back my original personal informaton.
    there must be an easier way -- or is this the only apple offering.
    any advice appeciated. TIA.

    This is incorrect.
    It is very clearly for people with a single iTunes account and they want to use multiple credit cards for purchases on that single iTunes account.
    If I had one iTunes account with multiple credit cards registered (which again, is what this discussion is in reference to),
    Huh? You just wrote it was NOT that.
    I bought Lion through my company, which means I logged into the App Store with my company's credentials, of which I have my company credit card registered.
    You mean your company paid for it. You are simply the one who did the purchasing using company funds.
    I now have a new iMac of which I want to install Lion.  Apple allows you to install this same install multiple times on your own personal machines.  I had to remember which account I bought Lion on so that I logged into the App Store correctly.  If I would have logged into my new iMac with my personal account, I would have then bought Lion again, of which I didn't want to do.
    But you did not purchase Lion with your personal account. It was purchased on your business account.
    If you want Lion on your persona/home computers, you will need to purchase it.
    I also wanted to install iPhoto.  I bought iPhoto on my personal account.  I had to then log out of the app store from my company account and log back in using my personal account to install iPhoto or I would have just bought iPhoto with my company's credit card, of which I would have been in a good amount of trouble.
    Imagine if I bought 3 or 4 apps a week and these apps were scattered across my business account and my personal account.  Each time I wanted to install these apps on one of my multiple machines in my  house, I would have to remember which account I bought the app on. or go to my purchases or which there could possibly be dozens of apps in each account.
    I would hope that your company requires you to track purchases you have made with their money.
    And I would think that you would want to keep track of all business purchases so you can get reimbursed (for the purchases you made on their behalf). If/when you leave the company, they can get company owned software that you purchased with their funds.

  • How do i sync one itunes account with two iphones, one ipod touch, and a nano?

    I need help in how to sync the one itunes account we use as a family with the two iphones my wife and i have and an ipod touch that my son has and a nano that my daughter has. Please help.

    That article applies, as far as I can tell, to all things called iPod X where X can be nano, touch, classic etc.
    We don't have two iPhones in the family as yet but as I understand it each device can have separate settings for syncing calendars and contacts. For example my iPhone syncs these over the air with the Exchange server at work so if/when my wife gets an iPhone it would be easy to have hers sync to our computer
    To make sure your apps don't inadvertently merge turn off Automatically sync new apps from the apps tab when you connect your device.
    The Apple support document How to use multiple iPods with one computer suggests a number of ways for managing the media content. I use method two (Sync with selected playlists) with a slight twist. Rather than regular playlists I set the grouping field to indicate which users should receive which tracks and create smart playlists based on the content of this field.
    e.g.
    "Alice's Tracks" is "Grouping contains Alice" + "Kind contains audio"
    "Bob's Videos" is "Grouping contains Bob" + "Kind does not contain audio"
    Tracks that both Alice & Bob want on their iPods have the grouping set to "Alice/Bob"
    etc.
    I currently manage our family's five iDevices using this system, each getting a different selection to suit their tastes and the capacity of their device. An advantage of using the grouping field is that it is stored in file tags (for non-wav audio files anyway) so that it is relatively easy to recreate the playlists should the iTunes library get trashed and need rebuilding. Also useful if you move files about manually as playlist membership is preserved when you delete & re-import the tracks.

  • How can we set a GL account with open item managed to normal once posted

    Hi All,
    How do we set a GL a/c which is an non Open Item managed  Nov 08. In Nov 08, user accidently changed the GL a/c to be  Open item management. This had caused:
    -      the Account being revaluated every month. We need to stop the revaluation
    -     also clear the amount in the revaluation a/c .
    Please suggest.
    Thanks for the help

    Hi,
    You need to settle the account to 0 (Zero) in order to change the configuration of it. You can make a fictitious posting, change the account configuration, and then reverse the posted document.
    You have to follow the following steps:
    1. Copy the ZRFSEPA02 to ZRFSEPA02
    2. Append the error check that is being written. (Initiation Check).Use of RFSEPA02 is not recommended by SAP. However, SAP Note 175960 details, on your risk, how to modify the program and use it.
    3. Block the GL Account for Posting
    4. Run the Program ZRFSEPA02 (which is modified)
    5. Note that this program will not work if your line item and open items balances are mistmatched.
    6. Unblock GL Account
    Thank You.
    Regards,
    AVD

  • How can i have same billing account with two different game center accounts

    I Need two different game centeraccounts on two different devices thatshare same apple id

    I looked at this post last night and assumed that the OP had decided he did not have a question; however, since you decided to post......
    Mac or iDevice, is forever 'connected' with the AppleID
    actually, that is not correct. It can be wiped and disassociated; it is any OS or app obtained at the app store which is tethered to the Apple ID used to obtain it, not the hardware. See the SLA.
    If a device was tethered forever, it could never be re-sold - obviously.
    As for the OP's question: I am not sure as I could not find any reference in the legal documents available, but I believe it is not possible - one Apple ID = one account.

  • How can I set up an account in two different iTunes stores (France and UK)?

    I would like to be able to buy apps on the french iTunes as well as on the UK I-tunes, but havent been able to. Is there a way?

    First you must accept the fact you will have two Apple IDs (you can't use the same Apple ID in different countries). Second, you must have a valid credit card from both countries to purchase from both countries. This most likely means you have to have billing addresses and bank accounts from both countries.
    If you have what is mentioned above and don't care about toggle between the two Apple IDs all the time then all you have to do is go to www.appleid.apple.com and register two Apple IDs using different country addresses.

  • I have two accounts with two different email-adresses, but Adobe Manager mixes them up.. What to do?

    The first account was a free trial account, but it is no longer active (i think...)
    The second account is a CC Student and Teachers Edition.

    Hi Jacob Leeberch,
    Welcome to Adobe Forum,
    I found that this e-mail address that is in forum is not assigned to any CC. The best option would be to log out & log back in of the Creative Cloud desktop App as this would activate the subscription.
    Please log in with the Adobe ID that has active subscription. Please feel free to contact us at http://adobe.ly/yxj0t6.

  • How do I set up gmail in the ipad Air mail application?

    I follow the steps to the point where I "Add account".  Then i select Google.  I then enter my email address and password and the iPad verifies the info that I have entered.  Then I have to save the settings and the "Adding account".  The little rotating "hourglass" comes up next to "Adding account" and thats as far as it gets.  It is like a freeze. I left it overnight and it is still adding the account?  Please help!!

    No you don't have to add a phone number to the iPad. You should receive his messages on your iPad by  using your Apple ID email address as the address at which you can be reached for Messages.
    Did you set up Messages on your iPad correctly?

  • After downloading Mozilla Firefox 4.0 Beta to my desktop I restarted the computer, but I do not receive any prompts to create an account with a Secret Password. How do I set up the account if the prompt never show up?

    Several months ago I installed the Firefox Home app on my iPhone to sync the bookmarks that I had on my Windows XP home computer. It has worked just fine until a few days ago. Just recently I was notified that the app would no longer work because of changes that have been made. I have tried to follow the instructions that were emailed to me regarding how to setup the new Firefox Sync add-on, but I am having a problem. After downloading Mozilla Firefox 4.0 Beta to my desktop and restarting my computer, I do not receive any prompts to create an account with a password and a secret phrase, as the instructions specify. How do I set up the account if the prompt never shows up?

    Click on the Firefox button then select Options to open the Options dialog. Now go to the Sync panel for the option to setup a new account.

    Hi, we have two iphones with two accounts.  The apple tv automatically syncs with one account to play music from the iphone to apple tv.  How can I use my iphone to do the same?

    Our experience is a little different, we have different iTunes accounts for different family members, each family member has their own iTunes library on their own mac, each mac uses my Apple ID for homesharing and we are able to play purchased content from each library on the Apple TV.
