More than 1 IMAP account in "Mail"? - ...e.g. 2 "gmail" accounts in "Mail"

Hi folks,
I have currently a "mobile.me" subscription which I don't really use (e.g. I don't need the internet functions like the homepage designer nor the 200gb, etc.). Nevertheless, I would still like to use "Mail" as my primary email application.
Therefore I created two new "gmail" email addresses (one for my wife and one for myself). Although it was quite an easy task to set-up the first gmail address in "Mail" (IMAP) it was not possible to install a second IMAP account.
Please help me! How can i set-up a second IMAP account in "Mail"?
or the other way around. how can I use "Mail" with two different email addresses? ...without a "mobile.me" subscription?
Thanks in advance
Dave

mea culpa!
I forgot to change the description for the second (new) IMAP account.
Regards Dave

Anyone else have the issue where, after the 8,3 upgrade, you cannot access more than 1 exchange account on your iPhone? This is annoying to me as I need to access 4 daily and cannot due to this error.

Anyone else have the issue where, after the 8,3 upgrade, you cannot access more than 1 exchange account on your iPhone? This is annoying to me as I need to access 4 daily and cannot due to this error.
The first one, my private home email, works fine. With the other 3, I get the message "Cannot get mail: The connection to the server failed"
All were working fine before the 8.3 upgrade. I did try the old trick of making one minor change on the account and resaving, but that did not change anything. I even deleted my work account and re-entered it from scratch, but again, sadly, no luck. For the time being, I am successfully getting the email via IMAP, but this ***** compared to exchange. Anyone have any idea what is happening or if a fix is in the works?

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.

Iphone 3g pop3 email problems when having more than 1 email account.

sending emails from more than one pop email account...
after checking and re-checking settings for pop email accounts [ follow the apple settings example for setting the first email account] i found that the iphone 3G does not support having more then one smtp server in other words it does not supports - different smtp servers.] so the only way to make two or more email accounts to work correctly is to use only one smtp server for all the email accounts and this will allow to send emails from more than one email account.
i think this is a bug on the iphone 3G......!!

I access two email accounts with the iPhone's Mail client - an IMAP account and a POP account. The accounts have different authenticated SMTP servers and I have no problems sending with either account.

Basically I want to share A1 with somebody else and we both use yahoo email. So I need to sign out before she can sign in. Any way to do that?
Thanks in advance for any help!
You didn't specify whether you are using the "official" Yahoo mail app, or some other email application like K-9. But either of those allow for the specification of multiple email accounts, and you don't even really need to sign in/out. Once you set up the accounts within the app, just select the email account that you want to view. It might be a little more problematic if you want to prevent each other from being able to see the other's email, however.

How can I set up more than one iCloud account on my pc?

I would like more than one photo stream to save to my pc. I have an iCloud setup up on my pc so that my pc can save the photo stream pictures from an ipad and iphone (each have the same id). I also have a second iphone with a separate icloud/apple id, and I would like pictures from that photo stream to be saved to the same pc. Is this possible to do? I don't see any options to 'add an acount' in my iCloud control panel.

Any one user account on the Mac can have more than one iCloud account signed into, but only the first one set up will sync Calendars and Contacts. You would probably be able to enter the second account's server details manually into the Mail application to that it would access both accounts: setup details here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864
However the best way to do this is certainly for each of you to have your own user account on the Mac, setting up Fast User Switching to prevent having to keep logging in and out - then each account can set up the owner's iCloud account and do all the syncing and other facilities.

How can I set up more than one iCloud account on a single Mac?

I just want to start with the very basics. My wife and I each have an iCloud account. We both want to check our iCloud e-mail in the Mail Application without user switching. Is this possible? How do we set it up? Is it also possible to each manager our own calendars (iCal) and contacts (Address Books) without user switching? Put aside all iTunes issues for now. Just worried about iCloud: two iCloud IDs. One Mac.

HT4436 Can there be more than on iCloud account on a computer? I have an iCloud account with my iPhone and would like to view my photo stream on my husbands mac. I do not have a mac but an older PC

Can there be more than one icloud account on a computer? I have an icloud account with my iphone but would like to view my photo stream on my husbands mac. I do not have a mac but an older PC. thanks

Welcome to the Apple community.
The simple answer is yes you can. On a single user computer, the user can have secondary iCloud accounts, which they can add through the system preferences > mail, contacts and calendars. The only drawback here is that only the primary iCloud account can use photo stream. This can be worked around by having a second user account on the Mac. Each user account could then have a different primary iCloud account, one for you and one for him, your account could then receive your photo stream pictures.
Are you also aware that you can have iCloud on your PC and download your photos stream pictures to it.

More than one Vimeo account...

Have more than one Vimeo account. How can I add additional emails for each Vimeo account for uploading in Quicktime?
Message was edited by: Lorraine98

Regular Quicktime allows only one Vimeo account at a time. The Vimeo account is controled in System Preferences/Mail, Contacts & Calendars. Among your email accounts will be Vimeo. If you need to use another Vimeo account you will need to first delete the one you already have. This might be inconvenient if you frequently upload from different accounts.

Why cant I connect address book to more than one email account.

Why cant I connect address book to more than one email account I have 3 but can only do this for my icloud account ?? I am using the correct pass word but still no joy ????

I bought an iPhone 3G this morning (wahoo!), and can confirm that I have setup both an IMAP (for my home server) and an exchange server (for work).
Exchange is set to push email (so will get email as it arrives) and IMAP is currently set to manual, and is working like a charm.. With multiple accounts you get to set one as the preferred which it will default to when composing (but you can change the accounts on the compose screen)
Only minor annoyance is signature is shared between both accounts, other than that am loving it!

HT204053 can I have more than one iCloud account?

I have a personal iCloud account, but would like to set up an iCloud account for my business that I can share between my associates. A tech at the appple store suggested it, but now I'm unsure if or how to do it. Any suggestions?

Welcome to the Apple community.
Yes you can use more than one iCloud account, however you can only have one primary iCloud account.
Secondary accounts can be added at system preferences >mail, contacts & calendars. Note, secondary accounts can only use mail, contacts, calendars and cannot utilise things like photo stream.

More than one POP account?

Is it possible to configure more than one POP account using Mail? If so how?

Absolutely. I have several. Just go to Preferences, select Accounts. Hit the "+" sign at the bottom left. When the guide takes you through creating the account just choose "POP" and put in your account information. One thing to note: while the incoming server is that which relates to the new account, the outgoing server (SMTP) is that of your main account. The outgoing server has to be the one that your home system talks to when it sends mail. Eg. My broadband account uses the company Primus. So my Primus incoming server is pop.iprimus.com.au and my outgoing is smtp.iprimus.com.au. For my second POP account, which is a university account, I use the university incoming server, but I use the smtp.iprimus.com.au server as the outgoing. If you use any other server you will not be able to send your mail. Good luck!

Can I have more than one iCloud account on my iPad?

Can I have more than one iCloud account on my iPad?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can only have one primary account, you can add secondary accounts via settings > mail, contacts and calendars.
Secondary accounts don't have all the features of primary accounts, such as Photostream.

HT2480 setting up more than one exchange account for iphone

Does anyone know how to set up more than one exchange account??

What you have is an alias email address to a primary email account.
You cannot create separate email accounts in Mail that share the same user name, password and incoming mail server due to the account and associated mailbox filing structure at the Finder level. When creating an email account in Mail, an account named folder is created at the first level within the Mail folder at Home > Library > Mail named by the user name and incoming mail server for the account which is why you cannot create multiple accounts that share the same user name and incoming mail server.
To add an alias email address to a primary account, go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Account Information tab for the account preferences at the Email Address field, add the alias email addresses to the email address for the primary account separated by a comma - [email protected], [email protected], etc.
All incoming messages for all email addresses will be deposited in the Inbox mailbox for the primary email account. If you want to separate messages by email address to a user created "On My Mac" location mailbox, you must create the mailboxes first and then create a rule to move messages received by email address.
When composing a message, the alias email addresses will be available via the account pop-up selection window just below the message header.
