How to make Mail email accounts retrieve mail in different ways

I want to be able to set my email accounts to fetch/push mail differently. On my iPhone, I can make my work email "inactive" when I don't want to use it (weekends, etc.). Can I do something similar in Mail on my Mac? Making certain accounts inactive would be ideal, but if I could set some of them to manually retreive and the others to push, it would probably acheive a similar result. Right now I just keep deleting the email when I don't want to use it and readding it when I need to check work email at home. When I look in Preferences, it looks like you only have one option that gets applied to all accounts.

Hi Carolyn,
Thanks a lot for your help and sorry for the inconvenience. I follow your instruction but it is still not working.
I tried to use now another Mac which I have here, with Mac system 10.6.8, where I use the safari version 5.1.10 (6534.59.10) and it works perfect.
Here are the screenShots:
The screenshot from the older computer: here you see the option Mail contents of this page.
Using that older Mac we have the perfect result, where you see the legal text + images, which i sent to me in bcc.
The result from my Mac with Maverick and after following the instruction:
You see the full legal text but no the image!
Maybe this is just a minor bug in Safari, to exploring yet and to improve. For the meantime I have to use the older Mac only for this part of the job. Not A PERFECT DAY (lou reed, RIP) but not the end of the world!
Thanks for you help and I´m looking forward to get news on this issue from you.

Does anyone know how to make one email account alarm you when you have mail but not all of your accounts?

I have a specific email account that I would like to alert me when an email has come in but I don't want all my accounts to alram me. Does anyone know how to do this? I can only seem to find how to alert EVERY account.

There is no way to do that on a non-jailbroken iPhone.

Hi pjerl,
Depending on when you originally set up your Apple ID, you may have @mac.com, @me.com, and @icloud.com email addresses associated with your account, but all mail sent to those addresses should still come in to the same iCloud account (you can test this to make sure by sending yourself emails at those addresses). You may find the following articles helpful:
iCloud: About your @icloud.com, @me.com, and @mac.com email addresses
iCloud: Using your @icloud.com email address

How to make Mail stop marking messages from my Contacts as Junk?

I use Mail to access both my Gmail and Mac mail. Mail has begun marking as Junk messages from my Contacts, including VIPs. In Preferences, I have checked the boxes to have Contacts and Previous Recipients exempt from email filtering, yet they still sometimes end up marked as Junk and sent to the Junk folder. These are all Gmail messages: I use my iCloud account very little. I've unchecked the Trust junk mail headers... and Filter junk mail before applying my rules. I don't see how to make Mail leave my Gmail alone! Can anyone help?

Google recommends turning off Apple mail Junk filters if using gmail filters.

How to have 2 email accounts on iPhone

I currently have my iPhone set up to work with my gmail account. I would like to add a second email account to my iPhone but want it as a totally different mailbox. So that my mail addressed to my gmail account is in one place and this second email account is in a different place.
How do I do this?

That's how email works on the iPhone - just go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and tap Add Account. Each mail account will have its own Inbox, Sent mail, etc.

How to make the GL account discription possible in FAGLL03 line item display?

Dear Experts,
    Could you tell me how to make the GL account discription possible in FAGLL03 line item display?
    I checked the layout, there is no account discription.
    How should I do?
Thanks!
Xinling Zhang

Hi
One you execute FAGLL03, go to Settings>Layout>Current Header Rows
You can add some predefine characteristics here.
I am not sure why the hyperlink is not working at your end. But you can search the SDN for special fields in FAGLL03 and you can get lot of posts for this document.

How to make the GL accounts as CO-PA Relevant

Hi,
Assignment of SD Condition Types to Value Fields: T Code KE4I
1. To transfer condition types for sales revenues and sales deductions to COPA, you need to make sure that the condition types and linked to an account in FI that is also defined as a cost element of the category "11" (revenue element) or "12" (sales deduction) in CO. These condition types must be assigned to a CO-PA value field. Condition types linked to FI accounts that are defined as cost elements of another category are not transferred to CO-PA, even when the condition type has been assigned to a CO-PA value field.
2. Condition types such as "VPRS" ("Cost") that are defined as statistical in SD are always transferred to CO-PA if they are assigned to a value field.
3. All condition types that you want to transfer to CO-PA must be active in the SD pricing
Thanks and Regards

How to delete an email account from mail

I just purchased a macbook and was setting it up for the first time. I clicked on the mail icon (postage stamp) and added an email but have decided I do not want to use the mail option right now. How do i delete the email account and set the mail program back to its original settings.

Open up Mail, hit Command, and the Comma, and then go to accounts, select your account you want to delete and hit the minus symbol!

How to set default email account in Apple Mail for Yosemite?

For some reason, after my upgrade to Yosemite my default accounts are no longer selected as default. I am now sending from an account I only receive email to, and have to change it with every single email I compose. Mavericks didn't do this.
Has anyone had a similar situation with multiple email accounts in Apple Mail? Any idea on how to force a default?

If you go to Preferences > Composing there is a dropbox for "Send new messages from:"

How do you make .mac email account work with Mavericks?

My dot Mac email account does not work with Mavericks, now what do I do?
Ever since I "upgraded" my OS to Mavericks, applications that used to work don't work anymore. It is frustrating. Now I find yet one more thing that doesn't work with Mavericks: my dot mac email account.
Should I be changing my .mac email account to dot iCloud, and how do I do that?
My trusty MacBook is starting to look more and more like Windows with all its "improvements" I'm not very happy. What can I do now?

How to setup multiple email accounts on one apple device It syncs to the rest of my apple devices?

I have a Macbook pro (10.8.2), iPad 4 (6.0.1), and iPhone 5 (6.0.1).
I have multiple email accounts set up on my iPhone:
3X Work
1X personal
1X School
They use Gmail and Microsoft exchange.
Is it possible to have all these accounts automatically created on my ipad and Macbook without typing in all info again?
Heres a visual:
I hope this makes it a little more clear.
I'm sure in the time it took me to type this, I could've manually added all the accounts to the devices lol
Oh, and iCloud > Mail is enabled on all devices.
Thanks for any and all help!

Your post is a bit open ended....
First thing - You need to decide if you want to use virtual domains or not.
If
     [email protected]
     [email protected]
     [email protected]
all should be separate mailboxes, then you need virtual domains.
If those 3 addresses can all go to the same mailbox, then you don't.
If you don't need virtual domains, then don't use them... things are simpler without that feature.
If thats the case, in the domain name field in Mail service, enter your primary domain.
You'll then need to enter your other domains via command line.
First, check your mail domain setting with:
sudo serveradmin settings mail:postfix:mydomain
Here is how you enter more than one domain:
- Quit the Server app
- Issue this with your domains between the quotes
sudo serveradmin settings mail:postfix:mydomain = "domain1.com, domain2.com"
- Restart postfix to activate your change
sudo postfix reload
If you open the Server app, you will notice both domains are now listed.

How to organize/configure email accounts on iMac

I'm a brand new Mac user, and I really would appreciate some opinions on how to efficiently organize/configure my email accounts.
-previously on Windows XP at home and work, I had an 'office email' address and and a family email address at home that I could access from both computers Iie: all mail went to both locations off the server). Now, I have the iMac at home with a subscription to MobileMe (which I also find a little confusing), the office laptop on Windows and I will have an iPhone in about a week.
My thinking is that I would like to be able to access both work and home emails on the iPhone, and now keep the home and work computers separate. Will this create too much redundancy on the iPhone? I'm just now sure how to best set this up, so I'm wondering what you other users out there do. Also not sure if MobileMe would be useful or best suited for this.
Thank you,
Rom

Since you already have Mobile Me, you can keep all your mail "there" (in the "cloud" as they say -out there on Apple's servers) and access it from any of your devices / computers, or any web browser on any computer at any time.
You don't need to "keep" your mail in any once place. Let Apple handle that, you can send & receive from your iMac, your iPhone, wherever. All your devices / computers will "sync up" with Apple's Mobile Me servers and keep everything up to date for you.
Also, if you have exiting accounts that you don't want to stop using, you can use Mail on your iMac and Mail on the iPhone to send & receive from any POP or IMAP mail account (I suggest IMAP -it's the kind that syncs mail where POP just downloads copies to whatever computer you happen to be on). You just need the appropriate server / login information.
For example, I have 4 email accounts for various reasons. 2 Gmail, 1 Mobile Me, and 1 on a domain name I bought (myname.com). ALL that mail is accessible on my iMac, my MacBook and my iPhone at any time.
