I established a sub-account (2nd email address) to my primary account, and can't seem to switch between them in Thunderbird. Help?

Thunderbird will let me rename my primary account with the name of the sub-account (which confused me for quite a while), but I simply want to switch *between* the two accounts. That is, I would like to view the emails received by the primary account, and then, subsequently, change/switch to viewing the emails received by the sub-account. I would like to do these two separate things at will. I am currently unable to do so, and cannot figure out how to. can you help?

  • My main account on my iPad is based off an email address that no longer exists and can not be recreated.  On top of that I forgot the password and answers to the security questions.  So I can not reset the password.  any suggestions?

    I Now get constant pop ups to logon to iCloud but it wants a password that I forgot.  I also forgot the security question answers.  It can not email me a password reset because the email no longer exists and Verizon won't let me recreate it.  I know this will sound crazy but when I created the original Apple account with the old email address I put in a bogus birthdate because I do not like giving out personal info.
    i Just want to do something to stop the iCloud popups.

    Try contacting Support in your country, after confirming your id and that it's your account they should be able to reset its password.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT5699
    If your country isn't on that page then try this form and explain and see what they reply with : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
    When they've done that update the primary email address on the account to be an account that you have access to e.g. by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store and logging into it, via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes, or via the 'manage your apple id' button on http://appleid.apple.com

  • HT4436 How do I set up a 2nd email address in iCloud? When it was mobile me, I could have 3 addresses. Can I have 2 with iCloud?

    How do I set up a 2nd email address in iCloud? When it was mobile me, I could have 3 addresses. Can I have 2 with iCloud?

    You must be talking about email aliases.  Log into icloud.com with a browser, go to the email page and click the cog wheel icon in the upper right.  Go to preferences>accounts.  YOu can define aliases there.  Note that they must now be @icloud.com named emails.

  • Someone is using my personal email address for their apple ID and I'm sick of it! I can't sign up for my own itunes account or anything using MY OWN email address. My email address is my property, not theirs.

    Someone is using my personal email address for their apple ID and I'm sick of it! I can't sign up for my own itunes account or anything using MY OWN email address. My email address is my property, not theirs.
    I'm using their account and will continue to reset their password and settings until they either get the message or Apple do something about it and disable or migrate their account so that I can use MY OWN email address for my own purposes.
    I don't want to be informed about Apple products and services for someone else on my email account.
    I want to be able to use it MYSELF for iTunes
    All I am asking you to do is migrate their apple ID to their alternate email account settings and free up my email address so that:
    A. I can use it and B. I stop getting messages about their account history.
    Either that or just cancel their account as they have no right to use my personal details.
    Yes I could set up a new email address but WHY THE **** should I? I've been using this email account for years for personal stuff, it's not mu fault if someone can sign it up as an AppleID without me being able to confirm their sign up process!
    Your move Apple, make it count.

    Hi Sister Kate,

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Once you have created a rescue address, you cannot delete it, nor can you change it to the same address as used by your ID. There are numerous providers you can get additional email addresses from, such as Hotmail, Yahoo, Google etc etc.

    Heya Katie!!
    So, the article you have there, HT4895, is pretty good. Just look at the FAQ section of it.
    But basically, you will want to create a backup on your computer through iTunes...Just plug your current iPad into it and make sure your iPad and iTunes are logged in with the same Apple ID. At that point, just create a backup.
    When you get your new iPad, and before you plug it in or set it up, follow the directions in this link to change your Apple ID. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621?viewlocale=en_US
    Once you have that done, plug your new iPad into your computer to sync up with iTunes. Follow the directions for Restore from Backup and it should bring all that info back to your new iPad.
    And changing your Apple ID email info will allow you to have your own!!! This should solve all your issues and GL!!!

  • Adding a 2nd email address for CC

    I was told I could use 2 email addresses so 2 employees can access CC.  I cannot fnd where to add teh 2nd email address.  Help?

    Hi Steven,
    It sounds like you might have been given some incorrect information on accident. You can currently only use one email address and an individual license is intended for one user on two computers. We are working on a new offer called Creative Cloud Team that will be intended for business and have this kind of functionality. It is due to release later this year.

  • Create a dynamic group by email address (not includes 2nd email address)

    I've created a dynamic group from powershell as below,  but it also shows the user who's the 2nd email address is @abc.com.
    So how can exclude the user has 2nd email address from the group?
    New-DynamicDistributionGroup -Name "ACB All Users Dynamic Group" -OrganizationalUnit xyz.lftltd.net/HKG/Groups -RecipientContainer lftltd.net -PrimarySmtpAddress
    [email protected] -RecipientFilter {(EmailAddresses -like
    '*@abc.com') -and (RecipientType -eq 'UserMailbox') -and (CustomAttribute9 -ne 'Resigned') -and (Title -ne 'System Mailbox')}
    Many thanks.

    Hi Timothy,
    Besed on my test, to filter the recipients based on the second emailaddresses  seems difficult, because there is a limit to the syntax of RecipientFilter, it's hard for me to divide the results of the property emailadresses and filter
    the recipient based on the first one.
    In addition, to get all the recipients from the dynamic group, please refer to the script below:
    $ddg = Get-DynamicDistributionGroup ITUsers
    Get-Recipient –RecipientPreviewFilter $ddg.RecipientFilter
    And we can usually filter the emailaddress from get-emailbox like this:
    If there is anything else regarding this issue, please feel free to post back.
