Multiple addresses on 1 computer - putting email in folder of different email account?

I am transitioning to a new MBP next week. I am getting a SSD, smaller than my HDD now, which means I need to work on freeing up some space. There is plenty of junk (apps I never use, etc) on my computer to be freed up. (I'm also planning to use an external harddrive more often for more files.) The big thing that I want to do is organize my email box.
I currently have 3 emails going into my Mail application. a .mac and 2 gmail accounts. I did a bad job managing my emails as they came in, I currently have about 7500 in my inbox so there are a lot that can be deleted and more that need to be organized.
I use my email addresses for different purposes, but, for example, my family switches between them depending on what their computer comes up with first when sending me emails.
My question is this... If I want to put all of their emails together in a folder, for example on icloud... can I do this even though they are from different email accounts?
I know it is possible, but, for example, if I put a gmail email into my icloud account, does it dissapear from my gmail and become a .mac email?
When I transfer to my new computer and have to redownload my email accounts, will all my hard work of organizing into folders be lost because a gmail is going to move back to gmail and out of my icloud folder?
(Secondary question... Mail keeps reasking me for my gmail password, but won't accept it when I put it in. I know it is correct. What I've looked up online is that I need to delete the account and recreate in mail. I assume that and foldering that I make will not stick if I am moving stuff when I am not linked to the gmail server!? I suppose I should do the deleting and relinking before I go to organizational crazy.)

despite suggestions from the well meaning but ignorant, Thunderbird can have large folders. My inbox has some 17,700 messages in it. The folder that holds mail from this forum had over 30,000 messages.
What Thunderbird can not tolerate, nor should it have to, is having anti virus programs scanning it's files while it is trying to use them. Usually resulting in a corrupt index (what your seeing most likely.) In the case of Norton, Symantec are unrepentant and rather proud of the fact that their anti virus will quarantine everything in your inbox if they find a virus or anti sort, even in a deleted mail. Their product is also just plain intrusive and aggressive, not bad when it does not really scan incoming mail.
Create an exception in Nortons for your Thunderbird profile folders.
There is a link [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird:Testing:Antivirus_Related_Performance_Issues#Norton_Security here ]to both the mail scanning and Nortons instructions for creating Sonar exemptions

It sounds like you are needing to transfer your music from your iPod classic to your computer. The following article will help you transfer your iTunes Store purchases:

My iPhone 5S prompts me for my password to an Apple ID email that no longer exists as an account. How do I change my Apple ID address without having to change the primary address to a non-existent email account?

I cannot sign into icloud on my phone because the Apple ID is an email account that has been deactivated and deleted. How can I change my Apple ID without having to change the primary email address to this non-existent account? If I did so, I wouldn't be able to access the account to receive the verification email. Please help!

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted. If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You should not need to verify the old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

New mac wont play itunes songs from old computer and email accounts.

What is the solution for getting songs to deauthorize from a old account that is no longer active?
I recently used migration assistant for a new imac. I have found that some of my itunes library wont play for they want the song to be deauthorized by using and old account password and email. What is the solution to this problem?
and yes I have deauthorized the new imac.
Any help would be appreciated!!
John

If the songs were purchased using different accounts, you need to authorize your computer for (all) the accounts that were used to purchase them. Each purchased song has the account id embedded in the file info. Each track must authorized according to the account credentials with which it was purchased.

Multiple Libraries on 1 computer?

Hi,
I was wondering is it possible to set up multiple libraries on one computer? For example if multiple family members using the same computer but w/ vastly different musical tastes all have iPods is there a way to set iTunes up where I wouldn't have to deal w/ all of my other family member's songs?

Multiple Users on 1 Computer

I am trying to set up my computer to support 2 Ipods; one under my user name and the other under my wife's. I set up the iTunes folder as a shared resource but only my Windows account can access this, I'm getting an "access denied" error when trying to point my wife's iTunes there.
Does anyone know a better way to use 1 computer to host 2 iPods with different playlists but drawing from the same music database?
Or, any ideas how to solve the "access denied" error?
Thx, Chris

What do I do if I want emails from a certain address to go straight into my work folder as they come in

Please help I want all emails from a certain email addres to go straight into my

You don't have malware. Either a spammer is forging your address, or one of your email accounts has been compromised on the server. Log in to your accounts and check for unauthorized activity. If you find any, change the password.

How do I delete a icloud email account?

I just set up an icloud email account and realised I misspelt my name in the address..my original primary address is a non apple email account..can I delete the icloud mail address or is it linked forever to my primary address? How do I do it if possible. I'm using an ipad and iPhone linked on icloud..

You can't change the icloud email address without creating a new iCloud account. You can, however, create an alias address with the correct spelling. It will operate just as your current address does, receiving email in your curren iCloud inbox. Just don't ever delete the alias or you won't be able to reactivate it. This explains how to add an alias: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622.

Transferring email account

We are trensferring data from a Tiger iMac to a newer iMac with Snow Leopard, and the concern is that we can't remember what email password was used. Here's the question: if we use Migration Assist to transfer data, will it transfer the data and password into the new computer's email account?

Yes it should if you transfer that whole User.
But you can find the eMail Password(s) in Keychain Access.

I sent some emails from one of my email accounts and now it shows that these emails have been simultaneously sent from two of my email accounts

I sent a few emails from one of my accounts that are set up in my Thunderbird. Now I see that they have been sent from two of my accounts, simultaneously. It shows them in both Sent folders and with the respective email address as sender.
Those email accounts have been set up in my Thunderbird for a long time now and have been working correctly until now.
How can I prevent this from happening again? I don't want to send people messages from two different emails at the same time.
I'd appreciate any help on this.
Thanks,
Borislav

In my case, TB is sending a copy of all my sent mail to the account that is associated with the smtp server. I have four accounts that I check via TB and the sent mail is being kept in the original folder and also in the sent folder of the account to which the smtp server is connected. If I change the smtp server from one gmail account to another, the sent mail follows. I then have two copies of the sent email, one in the original folder and one in the smtp server account's sent folder. I only want the one in the original folder. How do I stop the sent email from also being saved in the smtp account sent folder?

HT5621 how can I change my apple id email without accessing my email account as I have forgotten the password?

I have forgotten the password to my email account and would like to change the email of my apple id to a new one.

Sign out of your Apple ID on all your services & devices, especially iCloud on your iPhone.
Go to id.apple.com.
Log in with your Apple ID & password.
Then, edit your primary email address to the new email account.
Once you do so, a verification email will be sent to the new email address.
Go to your email account and verify the new primary email address.

Ok I already have a mac account setup. I have all the messages from the original email account go into folders "on the mac". Does that mean the messages are safely stored on the MAC and when I delete the account the emails will stay in the folders?

How to acces email accounts that apple created for you?

Hi
I have an apple account since the ipod 2g and now i have iphone 4s. During this time apple made some email acounts for me. [email protected] or [email protected] [email protected] Okej i know how to acces icloud mail but i dont know how o acces other two. I would like to acces them on the web you know like gmail... How can i do this?

I wasn't aware there is an @apple.com provided in addition to the @me and @icloud.
Your @me email address should be the original email account and address. The @icloud was added when the iCloud account replaced the MobileMe service.
I started with the @mac email account which was replaced with MobileMe followed by being replaced with iCloud.
My original @mac is my primary email account and address. Any email addressed to my associated @me address and @icloud address is delivered to the inbox mailbox for my primary @mac account and address. I don't create and access each as separate accounts.
There is an option to allow sending for on any of the associated email addresses with my iCloud account settings on my iPhone and iPad.
