Mail hang with multiple pop accounts and invalid new mail counter

All
More than a year ago, I migrated all email accounts from Outlook to Apple Mail using O2M application. I have 2 pop accounts and gmail account. Everything worked fine for a few month but then Mail started to hang during message receiving. It did so very often (4/5 times). When it does, nothing will revive it except a "force quit".
I tried to fetch email from each account individually, that worked well every time. After I was sure that it has to do with getting new mail simultaneously, I tried everything to fix it. I tried to reconstruct all the mail boxes, I tried using only 2 boxes with all combinations (1 pop 1 gmail, 2 pop, etc) but nothing worked.
I even tried to export all my mail boxes, then delete everything from Mail then reimport them with no luck.
In addition, a couple of months later, my "Inbox" new mail counter started to sometimes displaying the wrong new mail count. It displays 2-4 new messages while there is none. In order to be sure, I created a smart mail box to have only new mail and it had none. By simply switching to any other folder then returning back to Inbox solves the problem.
Can any one help?

Make absolutely sure that your email addresses and configuration are correct. In nearly every case I've encountered, this is the problem.
If you've confirmed this, make sure you're configured properly on your webmail account, if you have one. Webmail is something like ATT, the source of your internet.
If you're still flummoxed, play hardball. Make sure you have all your current account info and passwords, and delete them in Mail/Preferences/Accounts. Then, reenter them one by one until they're perfect. This makes sure your settings are consistent and correct.

Mail Drafts from a POP account and inbox

Running 10.5.4 on an iMac G5 and Mail 3.3 Problem is that drafts appear from emails I'm creating on a POP account and also there will be an email from my inbox also in the Drafts folder. I can Delete, or in the case of an email being there from my Inbox, Move it back to my Inbox but the count number on the Drafts folder doesn't change and although the item is moved back to the Inbox, the count on Drafts remains the same. If I then click on Inbox and return to Drafts again, it will have brough in another email. I do have two Imap accounts but don't use them as much and don't seem to have any problems with them. I believe this has only occured since the 10.5.4 update.
Any ideas, please?

"but I couldn't find any such setting in my friend's MacBook mail application."
I believe the equivalent setting is:
Mail>Preferences>General>*Check for new mail.*
"Does it download on some pre-set schedule that can't be changed?"
You can change the times for the +"Check for new mail"+ setting manually or use the computer setting.

Deleted a POP account and lost all mails

I changed my POP server and, extremely stupidly, deleted my old POP account details. Now I have lost all my old emails from that account - any way of getting them back or finding the old POP account details?
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Well, if you have deleted the accounts using the Mail client you will have lost the mail on the Mac (its always an idea to keep the mail folder ~/Library/Mail backed up, say to a CD or external HD). Best bets for deleted accounts on Mail is to check whether your mailboxes are still present or not on the POP server, or possibly to use HD recovery for the deleted files on the Mac (need to stop working on the Mac asap and get an application like Data recovery http://www.prosofteng.com/products/datarescueinfo.php or similar).

Problem with multiple XP accounts since installing new version of iTunes/QT

I am running XP Pro. A year or so ago, I went through the "disaster" recovery of installing the new version of iTunes (5.0) along with its nasty QT upgrade that was not ready for prime time. After much thrashing, I got my computer back to iTunes 4.9.0.xx and an older version of QT.
My son just bought a shuffle this week and so we thought it would now be safe to get the latest version of iTunes/QT on our machine. Boy, were we wrong.
We loaded, logged into my account, iTunes 6.0.4 and QT 7.1.0. iTunes comes up in my account and it recognizes my mini still.
However, iTunes will no longer run in my wife's account (she has a mini and has had it longer than my mini) and will not work in my son's account for his shuffle. It brings up the error dialog about QT not working.
My wife went to her account and just tried starting QT and it gave an error saying it was not installed properly.
I would have expected the installation in one account to work for all accounts given where it is installed.
Any help would be appreciated.

hiya!
even though you're not getting a #6344x in the affected accounts, this is still looking consistent with a registry permissions issue on the PC. (1402s have been known to be associated with the "stops working in all-but-one pre-existing account after an upgrade" issue before.)
the stejskal family pioneered the treatment for us:
the trick for me was getting up the nerve to "fiddle" with the registry...the reason why the girls could not get access to iTunes/QT was down to permission...once I got one going I went back in to HKEY-MACHINE\SOFTWARE\apple computer, inc\Quicktime...click to highlight go to edit, permission and added the missing girls to the list of who is allowed...made sure they have full permission..apply, ok and "bobs your uncle" all is now well in stejskal home.

so check to see if those user accounts that are crashing for you have the right permissions on those keys.
keep us posted.

Push Gmail with multiple forwarded accounts and display individual senders

I have setup my main Gmail account to receive mail from two other accounts. I reply and forward mail using the other accounts' SMTP servers so the messages do not show they came from my main Gmail account, but the forwarded email account.
I just setup my iPhone to push my Gmail, calendar, and contacts. All that is working great, except for one thing. I am looking for a way to reply/forward messages from the other accounts without my main Gmail account showing up as the sender. Basically, I am trying to get the messages to send the same way as if I had sent them from the Gmail internet interface.
Let me know if there is something I am missing, a direction to go in, or if you need more information.
Thanks,
Matt

No, there isn't. You can set them to check manually, but the Mail app will still check them when it's opened. If you turn them off in Settings, you cannot send using those accounts. You might be able to set them up with intentionally incorrect pop/imap server addresses, but correct smtp server addresses - not sure if that would work, but it's all I can think of to try. Else, you're stuck getting forwarded duplicate mail.

How to Configure iCloud with multiple iCloud accounts and one apple id

I need some help from the icloud experts. I almost have my arms around this, but not completely.
What I want to end up with is the following:
One account that both my wife and I use for shared contacts, calendars, photostream and find my device.
Separate account for my email among several devices.
Separate account for my wife for her email among several devices.
Now what I curently have is an apple id (*.mac.com), which is the main account used for purchases, etc. It has my mail, backups, and 25GB of space as a result from MobileMe.
I created a separate icloud account for my wife, using her Apple ID, so that her mail stayed separate from mine. However, now we have separate photo streams, contacts, etc, which is getting confusing and cumbersome.
I would like to keep my apple id as the main account since it already has the 25GB of space. So tell me if the following make sense.
I setup the master account using my apple id (the one with 25GB of space) for both of us, and enable the contacts and calendar syncing for all of our devices.
I turn the mail and Safari bookmarks syncing on for my devices; but turn it off for my wife's devices.
Then I use my wife's account on her devices to sync her mail, bookmarks, etc.
Would this work or is there another combination to use? Ideally a family oriented apple id would be good for the master account, but it wouldn't have the 25GB of space unless I purchased it. I'm trying to get around that if possible. I have tried to find something like this on the discussion boards but haven't had luck yet.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Set up your mac.com account again on devices. Turn off Mail and other data syncing with this account on your wife's devices for data that you want to keep separate. Then set up a second ("secondary") iCloud account on your wife's devices to sync Mail.
If you already set up a separate iCloud account on your wife's devices, on her devices go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in your your mac.com ID. Turn on the data you want to share with this account across all devices; don't turn Mail on. Then go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud and enter her separate iCloud credentials and turn Mail to On.
The only downside to this approach is that her email will be fetch, not push email. Push email is only supported in the main ("primary") account, not a secondary account.
The limitations to be aware of with secondary accounts are that only the primary account can be used for Photo Stream, Bookmarks, Documents, iCloud Backup and Find My Device. Also, push mail only works for the primary account; secondary account mail is fetch.

Apple Mail Issues With Multiple Email Accounts

Using Apple Mai 5.3 and have three e-mail accounts.
They all can receive and send email. However, on one account, it always sends out but will show up in inboxes from one of my other email addresses.
Everything looks normal in preferences. Also, when I prepare a new email, I will have the correct email selected from the drop-down menu... but when I hit, send it'll show up in inboxes as being sent from another one of my emails.
Very strange.... any thoughts?

Make absolutely sure that your email addresses and configuration are correct. In nearly every case I've encountered, this is the problem.
If you've confirmed this, make sure you're configured properly on your webmail account, if you have one. Webmail is something like ATT, the source of your internet.

Issue with multiple iBook accounts and iTunes

My daughter and each have a user account on her iBook (mine is the Administrator). I am able to log onto iTunes and access the iTunes Store; however, if she is logged on, she cannot access the store. We went to an Apple Store today and could not get this figured out. Has anyone else had this issue, and if you did, how did you resolve it?
Thanks.

Help with multiple itunes accounts and NOT sharing

I have 3 apple ID's. One is for my work iphone, one is for my personal iphone, and I have one for my son's ipod Nano 6th generation.
I only have one desktop computer and it is a PC.
How can I keep my child's music for his ipod off my iphones?
I read the help tool about using different itunes libraries, but will that keep my devices separated when I sync?

No, sorry. You cannot merge AppleIDs nor can you transfer purchases. No way around that at this time.

So what exactly does limited to "one app" mean with a Pro account and the new prices?

So it seems Pro has dropped in price but it is now limited to "one App".
So what exactly does that "one App" mean?
Only one tablet version or one phone version for a certain title?
Or you can have a tablet & phone version including android & iOS for that one title?

I think that everyone received it just now…
Changes to Adobe Digital Publishing Suite, Professional Edition
Effective immediately, all customers who newly purchase or renew Digital Publishing Suite (DPS), Professional Edition, will be able to publish only one app per license of DPS Professional Edition.
Under this policy change, Professional Edition customers can publish an unlimited number of issues (.folio files) to a single app and distribute those issues based on purchased fulfillment bundles.
An app created with a single license of DPS Professional Edition can be distributed to any or all of the marketplaces that DPS supports, including the Apple App Store (and Newsstand), Google Play, Amazon Appstore, and the Windows Store.
In conjunction with this policy change, Adobe is reducing the price of a Professional Edition license to $4,800 USD annually (€3,600/¥480,000) or to $400 per month (€300/¥40,000) and will include 1,000 fulfillments annually. The number of fulfillments included with a monthly subscription remain unchanged.
This policy does not apply to test or demo apps published using Professional Edition. The one-app-per-license policy applies only to an app published to a supported marketplace(s).
If you are an agency, upon your renewal or purchase of Professional Edition, you can create only one app per Professional Edition license. If you have multiple clients for whom you are creating apps, either you as the agency or your client must purchase a Professional Edition license for each app published to a supported marketplace(s).
If you are an existing Professional Edition customer and choose to renew your Professional Edition license at the end of your annual agreement, these changes, including the lower price point and 1,000 fulfillments, apply at that time. These changes do not apply to your existing DPS Professional Edition agreement and take effect only if you renew your license.
DPS Professional Edition customers can continue to create unlimited Single Edition apps, which is unchanged under the new policy. A Single Edition app is defined as an app that includes one built-in or embedded folio.
If you expect to publish three or more apps annually, we encourage you to contact your local reseller to discuss pricing for a multi-year Enterprise Edition license.
Enterprise Edition offers additional functionality and benefits not available through Professional Edition. These include app customization, integration with back-end business systems, in-app marketing tools, targeted content based on user entitlement, and the ability to publish apps privately.

List with Multiple Content Types and Making new Forms...

I go to create custom forms based on content types. After I create using the wizard in the list it always shows the same form no matter which content type I pick.
what am I doing wrong?
David Jenkins

You can change the custom form on content type through SharePoint Designer. Do not change it on the content type directly, when you add content type in a list/library, then open list's content types in SP Designer and then select your content type and modify
the URLs of your custom display form.
I have updated a document in gallery for
step by step development of custom workflow and custom task form. In this document you can find the association of custom form with content type using SP Designer.

Mail with Multiple POP & Platform

I use multiple pop accounts and multiple platforms to access those accounts. If I access an email from another account (Windows Outlook) I will never see they message appear in my Mac Mail even though it is still on the pop server. How can I get Mail to show want is in that account? It ignors everything that Outlook grabs weather its read or not.
Thank You

This problem with Gmail is "normal" and there is nothing you can do about it. Gmail POP access does not work as a normal POP mail server would:
1. Messages downloaded by any POP mail client are marked as downloaded at the server, and no longer available to either the same or any other mail client.
2. To make already downloaded Gmail messages available for POP access again, you must log into your Gmail account with a web browser and re-enable POP downloading for all your messages, which will cause everything (and I mean everything) still there to be downloaded again.
3. Any "Remove copy from server" account settings in Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Advanced have absolutely no effect on the messages stored on the server. The reason is that, after being downloaded, those messages are no longer available to any mail client, not even to the same client that has just downloaded them, not even for deleting them or checking whether they are still there.
4. Messages created and sent using the web interface will be downloaded by your POP mail client as if they were incoming messages. You can set up a rule in Mail to automatically route those messages to the appropriate Sent mailbox (or to any other mailbox for that matter) if that's what you want. Although this may seem weird, it's good because it allows archiving all messages locally in Mail, regardless of how they were sent -- as long as you don't access the same Gmail account with more than one mail client, that is.
5. Messages created and sent using a POP mail client such as Mail are also treated as if they were incoming messages for POP purposes, just as in 4. What prevents them from being downloaded is that Gmail marks them as already downloaded immediately. They would, however, be downloaded if Gmail settings were changed as described in 2 above.
Does the problem also happen with your other POP accounts as well?

Multiple POP accounts in Safari

I want to switch to Safari as my mail program but I have multiple POP accounts.
Each email has its own password. How can I get them all onto Safari?
It keeps telling me a already have a POP account when I try to enter another email address.
Thanks.

Hi Stacey,
I have multiple POP accounts in Apple's Mail program and each one works fine. So I'm not quite sure what is happening when you enter additional data for a new account.
To create a new account you select the + sign in the accounts tab in Mail's preferences. Once you do this, it will display a blank sheet for you to fill in your data for the next account. The data for the new account should be unique and match the account information set up with your ISP. The e-mail address cannot be duplicated. In other words, you can't have the same e-mail address for multiple accounts, even if the password is different.

Migrate itunes from pc to mac with multiple user accounts

I've read the numerous articles on transferring one's itunes library from a windows machine to a mac and I *think* I've got the details sorted (have itunes copy everything and then organize my library, then copy whole folder to external drive). I only have one itunes account but it my full library and itunes account is used across different windows user accounts.
My mac is setup with multiple user accounts and I'd like to have a single library and single itunes account (same apps, etc.,). I'm not quite sure how to migrate the library from windows and then set it up on the mac such that all mac user accounts are sharing the same library and itunes account. Any guidance?
Forgot to mention, have 2 iphones and 1 ipad as well, all attached to the same apple id.
