How to setup a catch all email accounts on a domain?

I am currently hosting several different domains on our server. On one of the domains, we would like to set up a catch all email account. Right now we have [email protected], and [email protected], but would like emails sent to any other address ('anything'@domain.com) to be directed to the [email protected] Is there a way to set up a wild card email address entry for a specific user account?

Don't do this. Seriously.
Your wildcard account will get inundated with every dictionary-based spam directed at your domain.
Many spambots just try common names at every domain they can find - alex@, andrew@, joe@, john@, etc. sometimes generating tens of thousands of messages in the hope that one or two names match legitimate accounts.
If you setup a wildcard account, all these messages will be accepted and dumped into this mailbox. If you don't have a wildcard account the messages will be rejected with a 'no such user' error (or dropped silently, depending on your mail server setup).
If you really do want to do it, then you need to get under the hood and configure postfix manually (Server Admin won't do this for you). The specifics are covered in the Postfix virtual accounts documentation.

Peer-to-peer guidance like this can be very useful, but I can't help thinking why would anyone wish to set up a new email account with BTYahoo. (Or even Yahoo.) Even if it were possible, which I doubt, given that BT is quitting Yahoo, and BTYahoo is dying, who on earth would wish to create the possibility that a brand new email address will get embroiled in the email migration and SMTP problems that seem to be building?

How do I setup a catch-all account for a email account

I have hundreds in fact thousands of email accounts from one domain. How do I setup a single account to download all the emails from orangehome.co.uk, eg. [email protected], [email protected] etc.

I have a similar situation with multiple accounts on a freeserve domain. This all worked fine up with Thunderbird up until about a month ago - not sure exactly when it stopped retrieving any mail apart from the main name items. I've never had to set anything up with the Freeserve/Orange servers as the response suggests - some setting in Thunderbird has been changed!

How Do I Sync All Email Accounts and Mailboxes (including those I create)?

How do I Sync all email accounts in the OSX Mail Application and mailboxes(including those I have created), all using the .mac sync application . . . or is there a better way to sync information from my powerbook to my imac?
The problem: I am reading and sorting/organizing my emails on my powerbook when traveling, and then I come home to my imac and end up having to manually duplicate the work I just completed. Any easy way of truly syncing the information between computers? Pleae let me know. Thanks
What is meant by mailbox structures? For example: On my powerbook, I have 2 unread messages in one of my IMAP email accounts. I read both messages. I choose to move message A to a client mailbox that I created in the OSX Mail APPL and the other message B I leave as read in the inbox & respond with a sent email . Now I use the .mac sync app on the powerbook. Then I use the .mac sync app on my imac . . . . will the application not sync the same information/sorting/organizing/sent responces into the appropriate mailboxes? I'm so confused.
Also, what "mailboxes behavior" & "advanced" preferences should be checked with IMAP email accounts. All sorts of misc. mailboxes keep being created in the OSX Mail APP. when choosing different preferences. When selecting store on server (mailboxes created indicate: stored locally on computer). Again very confused.

The benefit of using an IMAP is keeping server stored messages synchronized when accessing the account with an email client such as the Mail.app on different Macs.
Messages in the Inbox mailbox for an IMAP type account are stored on the server by default which cannot be turned off.
With an IMAP type account, you can also store Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk messages on the server which is available under the Mailbox Behaviors tab for the account preferences.
If you want to keep Sent messages synchronized with Mail on both Macs, you need to select "Store sent messages on the server" under the Mailbox Behaviors tab for the account preferences in Mail on both Macs.
I choose to move message A to a client mailbox that I created
in the OSX Mail APPL and the other message B I leave as read in
the inbox & respond with a sent email . Now I use the .mac
sync app on the powerbook. Then I use the .mac sync app on
my imac . . . . will the application not sync the same information
/sorting/organizing/sent responces into the appropriate mailboxes?
I'm so confused.
Was this client mailbox created as an "On My Mac" location mailbox? If so, an "On My Mac" location mailbox is stored locally on the hard drive, not on the server so messages moved to such a mailbox will not be kept synchronized with Mail on both Macs. Transferring a message from the account's Inbox mailbox or from any server stored mailbox to an "On My Mac" location mailbox stores the transferred message locally on the hard drive and removes the message from the server at the same time.
When creating a mailbox, the default location is "On My Mac" which is stored locally on the hard drive. If you are accessing an IMAP type account, you can select the IMAP account via the location selection which will create the mailbox on the server and be available in Mail on the other Mac. Messages placed in a server stored mailbox will be kept synchronized with Mail on both Macs.

How to sync all email accounts AT ONCE in N8 Symbi...

Hi to all
There is any way to sync all email accounts AT ONCE in Nokia N8 with Symbian Belle ?
Because syncing one by one is very unpleasant (I have 12 email accounts on my phone). Is there a way to sync all accounts at once?
hank you for your attention

iSync does not synchronize mail at all, and .Mac Sync synchronizes only mailbox structures, rules, signatures and smart mailboxes, not mail content.
To 'synchronize' mail, you must use IMAP technology, as opposed to the far more common POP3 standard for incoming mailboxes. The OS X Mail program supports IMAP account creation, as do most electronic mail providers, including AOL and Yahoo. Notably, Google does not support IMAP with it's Gmail product: it's probably best described as a slightly whacky, non-standard POP3 offering, and is not a good choice if you want to 'synchronize' you mail among two or more clients.
This sort of POP3 vs IMAP and mail synchronization discussion occurs frequently in the Mail & Address Book forum, and there are several 'experts' there—listed typically in the Top Rated Members in Forum list in the right sidebar—who help users all the time. You can search the forum by subject or their user name, or browse and look for related subjects or their answers, to get a better idea of how to deal with these issues. You can find that forum here:

How to check emails of all email account in one Inbox Folder?

I have more than one email account, If I setup my gmail, yahoo, Hotmail, ymail accounts in Mozilla Thunderbird Email Client, then I see separate inbox for each account, and to check email I have to go inbox of each account for checking email of that account.
Is it possible that I see all emails of my all email account in one inbox window, as well one sent folder for all email account, one spam / one trash / one delete / one important folders etc.... for all email account.
pls adv.

There is a quick method.
* View >Folders > Unified.
This will show eg:One Inbox containing all account inbox emails. It will also show the various account Inboxes shown as sub folders, so that you can also see the various Inboxes individually.
If you have Pop mail accounts, then they can be amalgamated into one Local Folder Inbox.
Go into 'offline' mode - (do not synchronize - that is for IMAP accounts.) This stops any further downloading to Pop mail account.
You would need to move all of your emails into Local Folder Inbox and other Local Folder folders.
Then change the type of account.
* Tools -> Account Settings -> Server Settings
* click on the "Advanced" button.
* select 'Global Inbox (Local Folders Account)'
* click 'OK'.
Exit Thunderbird and restart before you download anything.
there are other options mentioned at this link, plus info on Global Account.

Catch all emails and multiply email adresses

How can you manage multiply email adresses by one user.
example:
ROBERT has two email adresses : [email protected] and [email protected]
these two adresses must be sent from OS X Server to the client 'Robert'.
And how can you set up 'catch all email' to one specific adres. We would like to deliver all the emails with a different name for the *@domein.com to one client of our OS X Server.
And is there a way to send one email to multiply users, example:
email: [email protected] must be sent to [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] and so on, and so on.
Does anybody knows how to set this up in the new OS X Server?????

We thought about that also, but we noticed that it is not working.
For example, i have the email adres [email protected] but i make the alias 'twitter' and 'info' in my client account.
So i send a test email from outside the office with our iPhone on the [email protected] account. to [email protected] but nothing is happening, even not with the [email protected] mail.
What i know where the aliasses for stand is when you login to the server, example.
Username = myfirstnamewithmysurname
the alias lets you make a short name to login quickly, so if you make the alias like 'firstname' you now can login to your client account with that alias, but it is not working for emails.

How can I Delete a MobileMe Email Account and Kill Duplicate Messages?

When I select "All Inboxes" on my iPhone 4s, I see duplicates of each and every message I receive. Furthermore, the duplicate can't be deleted and I get an error message informing so! I suspect this phenomenon is occurring because I have both an iCloud and a MobileMe account. I want to cancel the MobileMe one.
Here's the deal:
My iPhone 4s lists three email accounts, including a "MobileMe" one that I want to delete because I believe it is delivering duplicate messages. However, I can't seem to figure out how to delete the MobileMe's email account or, for that matter, MobileMe itself. Apple support screens refer to cancelling a MobileMe account but are not clear on how to actually do it.
1. On the iPhone 4s, I click on the "Mail" icon at the bottom of the screen
2. On a screen under the heading "Mailboxes," under "Inboxes," there are two that read exactly the same (I think one is iCloud and the other MobileMe).
3. On the same screen, under "Accounts," I see an iCloud account logo, a Bellsouth/Yahoo account logo and a MobileMe account logo.
4. I want to keep the iCloud and Bellsouth/Yahoo accounts but delete the MobileMe one but I can find no way on this screen or any other iPhone 4s screen to do so. Nor do I see any path to do so in iTunes. And the MobileMe account doesn't even show up in the Apple email app on the laptop to which I sync my iPhone.
If I go to www.me.com and log into my MobileMe account, there is no apparent way to disable, delete or otherwise cancel it. Why?
I am convinced that the simultaneous presence of both iCloud and MobileMe accounts is responsible for the double email messages when I select to view "All inboxes" on my iPhone. (A workaround is to simply select just one of the accounts, say, the iCloud one. Then I see only one copy of each message. That's OK but surely there is some way to kill off this redundant MobileMe account AND the duplicate messages, yes???

First, thanks for the reply. And, I believe you are exactly right that the names are the same. However, when I go (on my iPhone) as you suggest to "Settings," "Mail, Contacts, Calendars," only two accounts are showing; my Mac account and my Bellsouth one. If I select either, I get an option to delete but the duplicate "MobileMe" account does not appear. It only shows up, as described above, if I:
1. On the iPhone 4s, I click on the "Mail" icon at the bottom of the screen
2. On a screen under the heading "Mailboxes," under "Inboxes," there are two that read exactly the same (I think one is iCloud and the other MobileMe).
3. On the same screen, under "Accounts," I see an iCloud account logo, a Bellsouth/Yahoo account logo and a MobileMe account logo.
It's nutso, I admit, but true. Any other suggestions would be most welcome.

How can I delete my iCloud email accounts?

How can I delete my iCloud email accounts? I no longer own any apple devices and find that the email is at best unreliable. Also, I am having to deal with a good portion of daily tasteless spam content at the original @me.com address. As I no longer have any apple devices I wouldn't mind having the whole iCloud account deleted. I have already erased all of my information from the icloud.com site.

Then that is all you can do.
You currently can not delete an iCloud account.

How to set up just an email account? - it's not working

Hi there,
Could someone please let me know how to set up just an email account for a staff member?
I tried "E-mail Accounts" - Add an email account - but the password verification NEVER comes through. I've tried send password recoved but does not work (ive deleted it and tried 3 different Password recovery e-mails - gmail / local and another BC one too).. nothing is working.
So then I read the knowledge base which is out of date:
http://kb.worldsecuresystems.com/000/bc_8.html?bc-partner says to set up an email account you need to go to Site Users (which doesn't exist) to tick "enable email" - so I tried Admin users but it has no email only option..

Hi Dandy,
You can still switch to V2 view to find things. Something I am still doing when I do these irregular jobs, as they only happen when a site goes live and that will only be once a month for us. Twice some months.
Although I just tried going to V2 and getting up the V3 view, but it didn't send me to the page I wanted.
I notice that there is a new tab in V3 called Email accounts, where you can set up email accounts now. Try there.
You will need to have the user set up first under Admin Users and User Roles first I expect.
Also check workflows are set up properly once you have gone into Email Accounts and set up the email address.
Or maybe just go back to V2 and do it all there. Click in top rh corner to get back to it.

How do I fully delete an email account from my Apple Mail app on my iMac?

Hello all,
How do I fully delete an email account from my Apple Mail app on my iMac?
When I go here: Mail > Preferences Mail > Accounts
I got the message that I needed to delete it from my Internet Accounts.
When I go here: System Preferences > Internet Accounts > select the account >
I cannot select or click the minus sign on the bottom left to delete the account because it does not appear in the list.
Yet the email account still shows up in my email logs with errors that it cannot connect.
The email account no longer appears in the left column where all my email accounts are in Apple Mail as I have deleted that domain and no longer use it, so the email was deleted at the server level. However, again, the email account still shows up in my email logs with errors that it cannot connect.
This is driving me bananas!
Thank you for any help you can provide!
~ Angela

If you haven't already done so, please quit and relaunch Mail. See whether the account goes away.
