Mail on two accounts - want to combine

Hi!
I have two partitions on my system (for optimizing purposes, etc) I have left my Mail application on both. Sometimes when I am on the second account I have checked my account and obviously received mail.
What I want to know is is there an application, or way to take the downloaded messages and combine them with the same named mailbox on my mail partition?
I see that they are stored as "emlx" format. Is there something that can combine these formats together?
Thanks in advance.

Do you want to do this as a recurring process or just once. You can import mailboxes from one account to the other. I'm not sure that is what you want, though.
Really, I was curious about the "(for optimizing purposes, etc)." If you are really talking about Optimizing the disk structure, it's not necessary on the Mac unless you are regularly editing files greater than 20 MB in size. Otherwise, Mac OS X optimizes on the fly any files less than that size. If that is not the purpose, I guess I'm interested, but that would take us off topic, which I already have.

Getting a new imac. Will be setting up a new iTunes account on the imac.
Why ?

I recently installed OS 10.8, and now my mail and calendar accounts want to default to my sister and her email address?

Here is my situation:
My sister and I have shared an Apple ID ever since I bought my sister an iPhone on my cell phone account. We each have Mac laptops and had no problem syncing to separate Gmail/Exchange accounts but still share an Apple ID for convenience.
However, after I installed Mountain Lion, the account settings in Systems Preferences will default to having my sister's name instead of mine. I would change the name to my own, enter my own Gmail and Exchange accounts and everything will appear okay, but then, when I come back, the name automatically reverts to my sister's! (The email address and other account information remains my own though.)
If this were the only issue, I would be able to deal with it, but the most bothersome aspect is when I try to make an appointment in Calendar and set an alert email to myself, the only options are my SISTER's email addresses. I don't even have an option to change it. When I was running 10.6.8, the email address options were my own address.
I am flummoxed as to where my computer is getting my sister's name and email address. I went into my Apple ID account and no where does it list my sister's name or email address. How do I remedy this?
Thanks in advance,
Tuan
***I figured it out by the answers that popped up after I posted. Apparent this is a frequent problem. Somehow, my sister was assigned as "Me" in Contacts after the install (I still don't know how.) But after I changed me to me, the alert email address were mine.

Need multiple 'MAIL' Icons. Have two mail accounts and i want to keep them separate but want to EASILY switch back and forth from the main screen instead of going through, Settings, Mail, and selecting account. Major pain

Have two mail accounts and i want to keep them separate but want to EASILY switch back and forth from the main screen instead of going through, Settings, Mail, and selecting account. Major pain the butt. This has been a request from Apple users for many years. it's great you can now combine all emails into one, but some people want them kept separate and have separate icons on the main page. They could easily do this by having one "MAIL" account as white and another red. Or put MAIL 1 and MAIL 2. Or an actual label that the mail accounts are called on the ICONS!!
Help!

...I could switch back and forth between accounts while in the mailbox, with one button. I think that is what you are referring to? Whoever said it's just a simple switching - you obviously haven't had the pleasure of using an Android device. It's not that quick to go back and forth - definitely not efficient...
Not that it matters a lot, Android vs iPhone interface is largely a matter of personal preference and what you know... I'm not sure which one you're saying is not efficient...
In any event...
I currently have two email accounts setup. My iPhone main page Mailbox settings reads:
Mailboxes
Inboxes
All Inboxes
Gmail
[email protected]
Accounts
Gmail
[email protected]
I wish there an efficient way to move back and forth while in the "Inbox" between accounts. Also, Why does one gmail account show as "Gmail" and another as the actually address?
The names are based on the names you gave the accounts when you set them up.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Tap the account you want to re-name. Go to the "Description" field and put in what ever you want.
Second, there is no way to quickly choose a bunch of emails to delete. I have to manually go into each one and move it to the Trash folder.
If you tap the edit button in the upper right while in mail, you can select multiple items to move, delete or mark (flag).
I don't want any of the condescending remarks, that I've read here and in other forums. I'm honestly looking for a solution, which I think you are too! One thing I realized is that iPhone users in these forums are really defensive and quick to say "that's how it is, live with it, if you don't like it go away" Um...the only thing that tells me is you are pretty bitter and have kept telling yourself that, to force yourself to like your device. I prefer to express my issues, and find solutions. There is ALWAYS a solution...
I think what you will find is that many people here, myself included, tend to get a bit short with people who start off with attacks or whining about how something has been asked for for years and should be easy, rant about things that have already been beaten to death multiple times in the forums, talk about how much better Android or BB are at something (really... if it's that much better, why did they buy an iPhone to begin with?), etc., or continue to ask questions that could easily be answered with a simple search, or even just by looking back at the last dozen posts to the forum, half of which probably asked the EXACT SAME question.
I don't think any of us go out of our way to be rude or uncivil. That said, attacking the people who are attempting to help you is much more likely to generate a response of 'if you don't like it, go away', than it is to generate something that will be truly helpful.

No it is not possible. Content purchased from the iTunes Store is permanently tied to the account from which it was originally purchased, and Apple does not provide a way to change it.

Combining two accounts

When I first got iTunes on my MacBook, I created an account using my old e-mail address with Insight Communications and created a password. Then my hard drive crashed and I got a new one. Also in the meantime, I changed internet providers twice. I created a new iTunes account using my current internet provider which is Insight Communications. So my problem is I have purchases on the original account that I want on my current one. I don't want to close the first account until I get those purchases but I don't know how. Can you help me out?

You cannot combine accounts.
You will always have to authorize your computers for the first account.
You really shoud not start two accounts. Simply change the e-mail address for your first account.

Syncronization: How can i store mail for different accounts remotely, and copy most important mails manually to local folders on two devices?

Hello. I have two devices and two accounts, so what i want is this:
I only want to store mail from both accounts in a remote place and copy most important mails to local folders.
(I will be grateful for any ideas as to where/how this "cloud" can be - specially free places)
* Can I have a copy of these local folders in both devices and the remote storage?
* Could i synchronize devices so that: when i move a mail to a local folder in any device, its copied to the same folders in
the other device and the remote storage place?
* The remote storage place will have many other folders. When I open Thunderbird, I also want to see these and the mail
inside, and also be able to move mail from the inbox to these folders.
* One of the accounts is gmail. In Account Setting tool, there is an option for synchronization. If there is no easier way, I can have mail for other account copied to gmail, and just syncronize gmail mail. For this, how will I copy my present folder structure to gmail. And how can I syncronize the local folders on the two devices?
Thanks in advance.

The first awkwardness I see is that there's no obvious format in which to store messages remotely such that you can work with them in an email client. It may be possible to set the "Local Directory" option in the account in Thunderbird to point at some remote folder (DropBox comes to mind) but I have never tried this and I'd be nervous about what happens if connection can't be made, or if you happened to access it from two different places simultaneously. The other concern is that mail stores get big, quickly, and you'd be forever uploading and downloading large (multi gigabyte) files. Thunderbird stores what looks like a folder containing many separate messages as one big file, so there's no simple opportunity for incremental changes to be up/down loaded.
The whole idea of Local Folders in Thunderbird is to detach messages from servers, so they don't track what happens on servers. I say this to point out the distinction between files stored locally and permanently ("Local Folders"), versus cached copies of online files ("synchronized"). It's not safe to regard your synchronized folders as permanent.
So, synchronized folders on an IMAP server are "mirrored" in Thunderbird so you do have a local (albeit temporary and transient) copy of messages; this is done mainly to avoid repeatedly downloading messages if you re-read them, and it makes searching faster an more efficient. But these "synchronized" message track what's being done on the server, and so if they are deleted anywhere, all synchronized devices will at some point also see the deleted messages vanishing. (Unless you made a local copy in the Local Folders account.)
I use a gmail account pretty much as you have described; I copy or move messages to that account so they are visible in my phone, my tablet, my own laptop and my works computer. It's free, and it's "in the cloud"; the only reservation I have is its privacy. There are other providers (e.g. 1&1/gmx) who don't seem to have the data collection fetish that google thrives on.
It's fairly simple to create filters in Thunderbird to automatically copy messages to your "cloud account"; even better is to set up forwarding rules on the other accounts' servers, so your messages are automatically sent on and waiting for you when you next login, already in the cloud account.

How to combine two accounts?

I somehow seem to have created two accounts, both for the same email address, is there a way that i can transfer the credit from one account to another, and therefore combine them?

Dear Readers,
I am sorry it took so long for this thread to find me ... or, for me to find this thread!
Skype does not permit the transfer of features, subscriptions, calling plans, or credit from one account to another. Therefore, multiple accounts can not be "merged" into a single account. This is true regardless of whether the account is under a Skype Manager hierarchy or not.
The only way to manage this is to cancel the items that are not needed on the account you no longer wish to use, and start new subscriptions and/or purchase new credit for the account you will use. More details here: 'Can I delete my Skype account?'
If you need assistance with this, here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service

Elaine

Mail is not downloading messages from two accounts but the messages are in the server.

Hello, I'm having this problem. Mail is not downloading messages from two accounts. I don't know why but there're two accounts working so bad. If I click with the right button on the account and click to see the account details, I can see the messages on the server but not in inbox. I made a sync with this account and my iphone and then the iphone downlad the messages with out problems. Not my imac at work or my imac at home... what can be wrong?
Thanks.

For Gmail, this is normal, there is nothing you can do about it -- just type Mail AND Gmail in the search box to see threads discussing how Gmail works.
As for the other accounts, this shouldn't happen. I wonder if what you're seeing is just that Mail is ignoring this setting for mail that was already on the server when you started using it. I've seen something like this happen when playing with that setting, e.g. changing it from "After one day" to "After one week". Mail would just ignore messages that fell in the timeframe where the two settings could interfere and I didn't notice it until some time later, when Mail "forgot" those messages had already been downloaded and, being faced with them again, dutifully downloaded them as if they were all new.
I believe that, if you leave the setting however you wish and stop playing with it, then Mail shall correctly process any mail that arrives from now on. In order to manually delete old messages that Mail seems to be ignoring, you can invoke the Account Info window (this is probably what you meant when you said "I can delete messages individually"; if that's not the case and want more info on this, just ask).

HT2204 I have two accounts and I have apps on one that I want to download to new iPad. How do I switch over? Thx

I have two accounts ant I want them together so I can have all my apps I have downloaded. Can someone explain how I switch over when in the app store. Thx

You can't currently combine accounts or transfer/copy content from one account to another, content will remain tied to the account that originally downloaded/bought it.
You can log out of the currently logged in account on the iPhone by tapping on the id in Settings > Store and you can then log in with a different account. But if you turn on automatic downloads for an account and/or download a previous purchase for that account then you will tie the iPhone (and the same applies to your computer if you do the same on that) to that account for 90 days : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627

Thank you if you can help me.

Welcome to the Apple community.
iTunes and iCloud at two different accounts. You can delete any iCloud account you want to by going to settings > iCloud, scrolling down and tapping the delete button.
Unfortunately you cannot merge iTunes account, nor can you transfer content from one to the other.
