I set up two identities, the default & one more. How to get mail from the second one?

I have two different e-mail addresses that I want to get mail from. So the main/default one worked just fine. So I went to options, account settings, identities and set up the second one. But this second one doesn't appear on the start page and still when I Get Mail, it only brings in the mail from the default one. So what do I do?

You do not place your second account in Identities.
You go to the Menu Bar and select '''File-New-Existing Mail Account''' and add it there.
No Menu Bar? Press the alt key.
If using the '''AppMenu button''', click that and select''' New Message-Existing Mail Account'''

  • How to get mail from old computer to new in one place?

    I've had lots of trouble merging my data from a G4 iMac to a new iMac. Now my problem is mail.
    After the first Migration all was OK with mail. Then, because of other problems, I had to erase the entire new iMac. In doing so I lost about 10 days of mail. Now I have some new mail in the new Mac and lots of old mail in the old Mac and I can not get them together.
    The new Mac has two POP folders in the Mail folder in the users Library. One has messages from 12/09 to 3/24/10. This one is named after an account I had 3+ years ago. The second POP folder has messages from only 3/29/10. It is named with the present account. Neither has the current messages that are in the inbox of Mail now. The current messages are from 3/29/10 until today but I can not find them in a folder, only by opening the mail program.
    The mail prefs have been altered also. I had a major problem with a pref causing trouble ejecting disks and forbiding the Mac to start. All prefs were trashed. (I think I can find them, I kept them in folders rather than trashing them. However, there are several of these folders as I had to trash and restart several times.)
    How can I get all my mail back together into one current mailbox?
    Thanks.
    Geoff

    Thanks for this info. I wish I had know this before I migrated. And I wish the Mac sales person had know. And I wish the folks at Mac support had known. Or perhaps with so many experienced folks not knowing could it be controversial?
    Be that as it may, the migration was done (several times) the new computer was non-functional but now seems to be OK. All I want now is to get my old email (from the old Mac) together with the new email (The stuff I've collected since being on the new Mac). That didn't work with the migration and getting all this straightened out has taken long enough that there is a collection of new email.

  • I've set up a form, but don't know how to get data from server?

    Hi
    I've set up a form using Dreamweaver to get peoples names and email addresses but i am unsure how i can get the information to send to my server...and then how i retrieve it?
    This is the code that Dreamweaver wrote;
    <form action="" method="post" enctype="text/p[lain" name="FirstName" target="_blank" id="FirstName">
         <label>First Name
         <input name="First Name" type="text" id="First Name" value="" size="16" />
    </label>
                  <label>Second Name
                  <input type="text" name="Second Name" id="Second Name" />
                                                     <br />
                                                    email address
                  <input name="email address" type="text" id="email address" size="40" />
                  </label>
                                           <input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value="Submit" />
    </p>
       </form>
    Any ideas would be greatly welcome!
    Thanks
    Fiona

    Forms do nothing by themselves.  You'll need a script to process the form data.  Ask your host which form to email processing script you can use on your server.  Often they will point you to one.  If they don't, there are some services or 3rd party scripts you can use to collect data from your site.

    PHP Formmailer script from DB Masters can be configured to process all the forms on your domain.  It conceals your email address from prying eye email harvesters and it has several  spam controls built into its script including  hidden field (honeypot), "sorta  captcha,"  and time limits on submissions to keep robots from exploiting your  forms.  Free to use if you credit the author; $20 if you don't.

  • How do you set up two different ipads on one computer ?

    I purchased a new ipad for my wife and want to get her started but we both use one imac as our desktop system.  How do you set up two different uses on one computer.
    Thanks,
    Dave

    Other options not covered in the article:
    1) You can plug both in under the same computer username and same iTunes Apple ID and give each device it's own name. You should be able to manage them as separate devices with different media, apps and screen layouts. All of your media would be in a common pool, though.
    2) Under one computer username, you can login and logout of two different iTunes Apple IDs. This option is cleaner with two computer usernames but it can be done with one.

  • HT5620 How can I set up two separate accounts on one iPad?

    How can I set up two separate accounts on one shared iPad?

    The iPad is meant to be a single user device.
    It is possible to use multiple ID's on an iOS device, but when you switch ID's and download content with another ID, you associate the device with that ID for 90 days and lock yourself out of the other ID for that 90 day period.
    So while it is possible, it's not advisable.

  • How do I set a new account as default in safari when I send emails from a web page

    how do I set a new account as default in safari when I send emails from a web page
    thanks in advance

    In the Composing pane of Mail's preferences window, look for the pop-up menu labeled "Send new messages from." Select the desired account there.
    Note, though, that this won't change the behavior when replying to a message... in that case, the reply will be sent from the account that received the message, unless you specify differently at that time.

    Newest compared to what?
    There is a reason we don't say use the "latest" or "best" methods to complete tasks, because they are vague ill defined terms.
    Could you return us the favor and tell us exactly what version of Pages on what version of OSX.
    The answer varies.

  • TS3276 can't download mail from windows live account.  I have deleted and re-set up the account but still won't work.  I can go online and access with no problem or get mail from other apple devices.

    Not able to get mail from windows live account.

    Firefox can find plugins in several locations, but Firefox 21 changed the location of the "shared" plugin folder so older installers like the Microsoft Windows Media Plugin no longer drop the DLL file in the correct location.
    There apparently are two ways to address this:
    (1) Change a Firefox preference so that Firefox checks the old location. Here's how:
    (i) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (ii) In the filter box, type or paste '''plugins''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (iii) Double-click '''plugins.load_appdir_plugins''' to switch its value from false to true.
    This will take effect after you restart Firefox.
    (2) Copy the plugins folder to the new location. Here's how on Win 7 64-bit:
    Open a Windows Explorer window to:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    Right-click and copy the '''Plugins''' folder
    Double-click the '''browser''' folder to open it
    Right-click and paste
    Right-click the new copy of '''Plugins''' and rename it to '''plugins'''
    After restarting Firefox, the plugins in that folder should now be available.
    ''Edit: I suggest just doing #1.''

    Hello echo1946
    Start with the first article to troubleshoot the issue of not getting mail on your iPad. When you get online using safari, check to see if you can log into webmail. Also keep in mind, depending on the account that mail sometimes might not come in if it is a POP account as it may have already been download elsewhere.

  • How to stop mail from recovering the same message over and over again to the extent that it has wiped out all start up disk memory?

    How to stop mail from recovering the same message over and over again to the extent that it has wiped out all start up disk memory?

    You need to find and delete (move to the Trash) the offline mail cache (.offline cache.) It's a hidden folder (files and folders with a preceding dot are hidden) inside the Mail folder (inside IMAP) in your user library. Since it's hidden, in order to see it run the following command in Terminal in Applications>Utilities. Hit return/enter once you have pasted in the command.
    defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool true ; killall Finder
    To reverse this and hide all those hidden files and folders again
    defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool false ; killall Finder
    Leave hidden files/folders enabled until you finish emptying the Trash so you know it's gone.

  • How to stop Mail from selecting addresses from the list of Previous Recipients?

    How to stop Mail from selecting addresses from the list of Previous Recipients?

    This is a related question.
    I deleted ALL my previous recipients and when I create a new e-mail it STILL is getting addresses that I don't want - they pop up and I don't know how to stop this!
    I switched from one ISP to another - I deleted the old e-mail account in MAIL - I DID use the same name on the account - is that why it keeps bringing up the old address? 
    ARGH!

  • I am having trouble getting mail from the server that my new iMac is connected to. I have to reboot the system to get Outlook for Mac to access the system. Any ideas?

    I am having trouble getting mail from the shaw server that my new iMac is connected to. I have to reboot the system to get Outlook for Mac to access the system and obtain new messages. Any ideas? Its at the point where I have started using the PC again as its less trouble.......

    In Firefox 3.6.4 and later the default connection settings have been changed to "Use the system proxy settings".<br />
    See "Firefox connection settings" in [[Server not found]]
    You can find the connection settings in "Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection"<br />
    If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select No Proxy
