Mail on more than one machine

Since upgrading to Mountain Lion our mail is erratic, but also, because we have no secrets, my husband and I share the iMac and Macbook Pro. If mail is read and deleted on one machine, it deletes on the others. How do I switch this off as it's very annoying. Also it shows new mail is being 'collected' but it never appears.

You can't really turn it off as it's how an IMAP email account works and why (in most cases, anyway) it's the best way for managing email on multiple devices as it keeps everything in synch.
The solution is going to require some coordination between you and your husband with regard to when and which messages should be deleted.

  • Does anyone have any efficient techniques for saving mail on more than one machine and in the cloud (I need offline access). Trying to avoid endless message copying.

    I've been in an administrative job at my university, in which I needed to be able to access lots of past email conversations.  I ended up saving *everything* religiously, by copying each email or conversation into an "On My Mac" folder on either my home or office machine, flagging it as copied, then unflagging it and moving it to a like folder on the other machine. As a result I'v now got a trillion folders for various aspects of my job, filled with quite a few messages that I probably no longer even need, but they're way too many to go through and delete one by one.  Unfortunately, I haven't made much use of the iCloud folders, but I'm so tired of having to essentially manually sync my stored mail in the manner I just described, that I'm thinking of starting to file everything to iCloud folders.  The downside of that is that obviously if the internet is down and a given folder wasn't refreshed before it went down, I won't have access to the saved mail.
    Moreover, I'm about to step down from the admin post -- within about 6 months a lot of what I saved won't be needed at all, and going forward, I won't need to save nearly the same quantity of messages for later reference.  I'd like to come up with some viable "triage" strategies for limiting the mail I do save.  
    This is really just an open question:  Does anyone have any good mail filing and storage techniques that you'd be willing to share?  I'm especially interested in criteria you use for what you save and don't save, and where/how you save it. 

    Well, the one set up on exchange 2k3 is now working fine, although no changes were made on either the iPhone or the exchange side, so that's fun, but it still is throwing errors when connecting to the other 2 exchange accounts. The common elements are that both non-functioning exchange accounts are google apps for business accounts. So is one of the ones that's working, by the way. The settings on both accounts are the same as the one that's working, and both worked fine before the 8.3 upgrade. I have no issue accessing both of these accounts on my ipad which is currently on 8.2.x. If it's not the iphone OS at fault, I'm at a loss as to what it could be.

  • I have a desktop PC and a Macbook Pro.  Can I install my CC programs on more than one machine/OS at the same time?

    I'm looking to start using Adobe CC but I use more than one machine in my daily life - a Win8.1 PC and a Mac OSX laptop - can anyone tell me definitively whether I can install the desktop applications for CC on both and sync all my online files to whichever machine I happen to be using at the time?

  • Outlook (ex Hotmail) on iPhone refuses to send e-mail to more than one person

    Hi,
    I have two questions today...
    When I try to send an e-mail to more than one person from my @outlook.com address on my iPhone it fails everytime and a message pops up that it could not connect to the server. Sending e-mails to one person at a time works perfectly. I think this is a Microsoft issue as I had to verify that I was "human" before I could send a test e-mail to more than one person while logged into the Outlook website on my PC. I never had problems like this on my old Gmail and Ymail accounts. Any ideas how to fix this?
    Alternatively, I can use my @icloud.com e-mail address, but this leads to my second question. Apple states that I cannot use my iCloud e-mail address as my Apple ID. I do however not want to keep two mailboxes. Can any e-mails Apple send me (eg. receipts for purchases, etc) be sent to my iCloud address? I'll can then just keep the other e-mail address just for the Apple ID but do not have to monitor it. It this can be done please advise where I can change this.
    Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

    Some style rules that Firefox handles well on the screen can cause this problem. Many email sites have a print button which simplifies the message format and removes navigation elements, etc., and Firefox generally handles print-formatted pages better. If your email site doesn't have print-formatted pages or those do not print, a "hack" is to select the text you want to print and then choose the Selection option in the print dialog.
    To hide email addresses from recipients, you need to place them in the BCC field. What do you put in the TO field in that case? You can use your own address.

  • Can I use the redemption code for more than one machine for Photoshop Elements?

    I want to use the Photoshop Elements that I bought on more than one machine. Is that
    possible using the Redemption Code? It says it was used with another Adobe ID.
    Thanks

    Hi Stover,
    Typically you use the redemption code to retrieve your serial number for Elements products. The licensing for Elements allows the owner to install on two of their computers.
    See these for reference:

    How many computers can I install Photoshop Elements on?
    Hope that helps,

If i want to buy another CS3 serial number how do i go about it? I cannot afford to move to the creative cloud.....

    there's no way for you to identify which machines have or had cs3 activated, and you can no longer purchase a cs3 license from adobe.
    you can request an activation count reset (Contact Customer Care) and deactivate your cs3 on all your computers.  you can then install and activate on up to two computers.

  • How to directly wire in more than one machine

    Hello all,
    I am probably going to buy this router. Right now I have one machine right near the cable modem so it can be directly wired in. My laptop and Imac can hook up wirelessly. I see that there is one LAN port for a machine to be directly wired in.
    What if I want to wire up more than one machine directly to the Airport Extreme router with actual ethernet cable (for better reliability). There is only one LAN side port. Do I just get a simple ethernet switch and then plug the machines into it? Is that reliable. If so which switch.
    Thanks.
    -Josh

    Joshua, depending on what kind of Modem your Internet Service Provder has furnished you with you simply run the Ethernet cable from the port you hook a machine to, direct to the WAN port on the Airport EXtreme Base. The one with the circle of dots. The LAN port on the AEBS can be used for hardwired connection, it's the one with 2 arrows pointing away from one and other.
    Or you can run an ethernet cable from this same port on the AEBS to a HUB and wire in several, or you can use a multiport switch...
    There are a multitude of ways to hook this up and almost all come with a diagram and explain in a step by step... This should do it for you...Good Luck..Don

  • Install Final Cut Stdio 2 on more than one machine?

    Hi,
    anyone knows if it'll be possible to install FCS2 on more than one machine? I have different macs (desktop, laptop) I'd like to install FCS2 on.
    thanks.

    Hi there,
    legally you can only install 1 copy of FCS onto 1 desktop & 1 laptop. any more than that you need to but more copies.
    as to the requirements of FCS2, check out apples FCS2 webpage for exact details but roughly, as it is a PRO app, it requires PRO machines (not mac minis, macbooks or any machine with an integrated graphics chip)
    hope this helps

    I am considering buying Acrobat 11 Prio on a monthly subscription but I would like to use it on more than one machine is this possible?

    You are allowed to have two working installations so if you want to have it on two machines you can.  If you want it on more than that then you need to manage which ones are working at any given time such that only two are usable.

  • External e-mail to more than one organizational object

    Is there any way to send an external e-mail in a mail step on the WF, to more than one organizational object, without getting their mails?.
    I mean, I have a table with OTYPE and OBJID
    (example:
    line 1: 'US' 'USERNAME'
    line 2: 'O' '123456'
    line3:  'S' '56789'
    I can send them a work-item or a notification, but can I send them an external e-mail in a mail step?
    If not, how can I get their mails with an FM?
    Thanks!!!!

    Hi,
    send an external e-mail in a mail step on the WF, to more than one organizational object
    1) Get the Email ids of the Org. Objects and stored it in a Multiline Container element and assign it in the 'Send Mail' step
    2) Other wise, you have to create a Method in the BO, in the Method get all the email ids of the Org. Object. Then using the Function Module  [SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/x/nYKdAw]  to send the email.

  • Isd there a way to have mail use more than one address per person from the address book?

    Have a group in address book and some of the records have more than one email address. Is there a way to have mail use both addresses or do I need to have an individual record for each email I want to send to?

    This article seems to describe a way to do what you want.

  • Slow performacne copying items to more than one machine at once

    When I copy items to a single machine over our gigabit LAN, I get 5+ MB/s. When I try to send items to more than one computer at once, the speed varies up and down between 400 K/s-1 MB/s. Is there anything I can do to speed things up? Is this a network config issue?

    ARD by default does not use multicast, so when you copy to multiple systems, it's sending each package individually, so you get a much lower throughput. You can change the preference manually to allow multicast and that may help your throughput (I haven't tested it so I can't say for sure. See this article on MacEnterprise.org:
    http://macenterprise.org/content/view/237/84/
    Your network of course will have to allow multicasting.
    Hope this helps.
