Missing Email Accounts in ~/Library/Mail

I just got my iPhone an tried to sync with my Mail accounts but only a very old POP mail account (no longer in use) showed up on my iPhone. I checked on my computer and none of my current POP email accounts from Mail show up in ~/Library/Mail folder. Yet all my email accounts are working fine. I've done a Finder search for my current email accounts and weirdly they don't show up anywhere else. I checked in the Hard Drive and in my Home Folder. Can anyone suggest a way to get my email accounts to show up in ~/Library/Mail so I can sync to my iPhone without doing it manually? Thanks!

If you're not using IMAP, Mail is still communicating with the mail server, so even if you see those types of messages, nothing abnormal is going on. There's no such thing as invisible email, so if there were really anything being sent or downloaded, you'd see it.

I have 4 email accounts in apple Mail. My mail is sending from the wrong account. even on "reply" it sends from a different account. I have 3 gmail accounts and one exchange server account. I choose which account to send from and it still sends from the same gmail account. Help.

I HAD two accounts because of this problem. I completely removed the problem account from the Apple Mail client. Guess what is happening?? That's right - Mail is still sending from the other account that no longer exists on my computer, and I have absolutely no idea how this is happening. This is incredibly frustrating. When a recipient chooses to reply to my message, quite often I won't get it now because it is going to the other account that has now been deleted from my system. COME ON APPLE!!! WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH THIS???

Can i set up two emails accounts on the mail function tab and switch between them

I would like to be able to set up two email accounts on the mail tab on the Iphone 5 and switch between them, is this possible?

Yes it is possible to set up multiple accounts but you cannot switch between them in the mail app. What you can do in settings/mail etc is have one set as active an dthe other as inactive and you can change that from time to time if you want

Multiple Email Accounts using MS Mail

I want to setup multiple email accounts using MS mail. My already has an account, but I want to add an account for my son. I've added the account on verizon and in MS mail. However, I want to have completly separate accounts so that when my son opens his email he only see his email and when my wife opens her email, she only sees her email. Right now, when MS mail is opened both their emails come up and when they send an email, they must select which email account they are sending from.
Does anyone know how to do this?

One option would be to not use MS Mail (I assume you really mean Windows Live Mail?). You could create accounts for them and have them just use the Web mail interface to get to their mail.
Another option would be to give each person their own "user account" on your machine instead of all logging into the computer as the same userid. If you do this, any mail settings will remain with the individual account.

How do I add my UQ email account to Mac Mail?

I want to add my UQ email account to the mail on the desktop, but it won't let me. It just says that the password is wrong (but its the same password I use to acess the email account online, through UQ) They tried to add it in the store but couldn't...but they thought that it might have something to do with their interent restrictions. Has anyone been able to do it?

you need to contact suddenlink and ask them what POP settings to use. we can not help you with that.

Can I set up an email account in Mac mail if it already exists in mac for outlook?

Can I set up an email account in mac mail if it already exists in mac outlook or do I need to delete the outlook account first? I have tried to set it up and its not working.

Mail and Outlook are two different applications, so you can maintain the same account in both, incl sending and receiving.
What matters is that the setup is correct. E.g., is it a POP3 or IMAP account? By default, IMAP stores all mails on the (ISP's) server, while POP3 usually deletes it there after it's been received. So, with IMAP you'd easily have your mails everywhere, in every client, while with POP3 it's only in the client which you used most recently, so to speak.

The receiving email ports are:
IMAP is port 143
IMAP-SSL is port 993
POP is port 110
POP-SSL is port 995
Outgoing ports are...
SMTP and SMTP-SSL is on ports 25, 587 and 465. Port 587 has to be SSL, and port 465 is enforced TLS-wrapped and is generally used by Outlook users.

The mailbox list is divided into categories with headings in caps, such as ON MY MAC. When you hover the cursor over one of those headings (except for MAILBOXES), you should see the word Show or Hide on the right. Click Show. The MAILBOXES category can't be hidden.
In each category, the mailboxes are arranged in groups, such as Inbox. To the left of each group is a small disclosure triangle. If the triangle points to the right, click it so that it points down.

How to set default email account in Apple Mail for Yosemite?

For some reason, after my upgrade to Yosemite my default accounts are no longer selected as default. I am now sending from an account I only receive email to, and have to change it with every single email I compose. Mavericks didn't do this.
Has anyone had a similar situation with multiple email accounts in Apple Mail? Any idea on how to force a default?

If you go to Preferences > Composing there is a dropbox for "Send new messages from:"

Problem setting up ATT email account with Apple Mail

I have a main ([email protected]) and sub email account ([email protected]) with ATT/Yahoo (formerly SBC).
I set these accounts up on Apple Mail for the first time, and selected the option "Remove copy from server after retrieving a message "RIGHT AWAY". But Apple Mail would not allow me to select that option for both the primary and sub account. It allowed me to select that option for the first account I set up (the sub account), but when I tried to select that option for the second account (the main account), it would not permit me to save the option and gave me the following error message:
The account path /Users/edelbert/Library/Mail/[email protected]@pop.att.yahoo.com is already being used by the account "GIFilm"
It will allow me to select the option to remove the copy AFTER ONE WEEK, but then I receive the same message over and over each time Apple Mail checks the ATT server.
ATT claims that it is the result of an SSL conflict between its software and Apple's, and claims that Apple has created a bug fix, but I can find no evidence of such a patch.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks

As far as I can tell, the problem might be with my password. It's working on my iPhone, but not my computer.
If it's just a matter of changing the password, it's cool. But I can't figure out how to change the password.
Any ideas on changing the password in mail preferences?
Thanks,

Setting an email account other than Mail as the default

I do not use Mail or Entourage (or have a .mac account), and I wonder if there's a way to set my own email account as the default for saving a photo directly to an email message. Right now my workaround is very complicated.
Thanks.

kjm914a:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Is your current email account a POP account or is it a web based account? If it's a pop account you can setup Mail as the client for that account and then would have the capability of saving directly to iPhoto as well as emailing directly from iPhoto. You don't need a .Mac account to use Mail.
However, if the account is a web based account I don't think there's any way to save directly to iPhoto. The photos have to be be saved to the HD first before they can be imported into iPhoto.
Happy New Year
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Help: Can't delete email account in OSX Mail

I have verizon.net email account that I had to update because verizon changed the incoming and outgoing servers.
Each of my family members has a separate profile on my Mac and I was able to successfully update their settings.
I have the admin account. No matter what I do, I can't get the new server settings to stick in MacOSX Mail.
So I tried to delete the email account via System Preferences. When I relaunch Mail or System Preferences, the account is stil there. When I try to delete the account from within Mail, I get an error message:
Account removal failed with error: “The operation couldn’t be completed. Unable to find an account for the UID given.”.
You can try deleting the account from the “Internet Accounts“ preference pane in System Preferences.
I even tried the steps in this thread using Terminal:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/23824890#23824890
I even tried deleting the account in my Library preferences.
No luck.
I had this problem on my 17" MacBook Pro. I just migrated to a Retina MacBook Pro using a Time Machine backup. Same exact problem. I'm thinking there's some bizarro preference thingy that is buried somewhere that needs to be removed.
Yes, I ran disk utility as well.
Help me please!

After closing mail I used a plist editor and edited:
/Users/YOURUSERNAME/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Accounts.plist
(as always TAKE A BACKUP)
I removed all key pairs to the offending account.
Voila.
Removed.
