Multiple email accounts (addresses, identities) in mail

I am a new user to Mac from PC. Want to set up my email in mail. I have several email addresses which I would like to keep separate, in separate mailboxes, and sending and receiving email separately. In Outlook Express I had multiple identies. What is the best way to do this in mail?

Hi
Don't know how to do that but someone in the Mail & Address Book Forum might:

Multiple email accounts and mail check frequency

If I understand correctly, I can have multiple email accounts on the iPhone, one for work, one personal for example. Is it possible to have distinct update settings, or to easily take one offline? Say I don't want my work email retrieved during the weekend. We're all set to do the family thing with iPhones, but this question came up. With my Treo I frequently turn only one or the other of the accounts on, depending on what I'm doing.
How distinct are the accounts? I assume the mail is in separate accounts as on the desktop?
Thanks

Thanks. That's good news.
In Mail app I have one account, with two different "from" addresses set. I select the proper address depending if I'm writing family or a mailing list. Is that same feature available as it is on the desktop?

Using multiple email accounts, smtp from provider, sender's address is the same for all email accounts

Ok
I'm sure this is an issue for many of us, but I cant find a solution for this on the net.
So I had set up multiple email accounts. My main account is gmail, but I'm using several others. The smtp server had to be the same which was from my ISP for all email accounts (apart from gmail which has it's own).
Now, when I send email from these accounts, the sender's address will always be ***@virginmedia.co.uk. Obviously, since thats what the smtp is for.
But what if I want to send emails from these accounts and want to be the sender accordingly? like ***@yahoo.com or ***@freemail.com etc...
Is there a way to get around these? If they dont have their own smtp servers? Or they can only be used to send emails through their web-based email page?
Hope it makes sense, sorry for my crap english.
Thanks
Daniel

Can you tell us which is the mail account ( hotmail, gmail or any personal)
If I help you with any inquire, thank you for click kudos in my post.

Have multiple email accounts. How to make one the default account when using Send to Mail Recipient?

We have multiple email accounts. How do I make one of the accounts the default sender address when we Send to a document to Mail Recipient? Or how can I change the order of the email accounts on Thunderbird that they appear?

To change the default account, Tools/Account Settings, select the account in the left pane, then Account Actions/Set as Default.

Is there a way to get multiple email accounts on the front page of my Iphone? Also I would like to have different sounds when I receive mail in the different accounts. Is this possible?

Is there a way to get multiple email accounts on the front page of my iphone instead of just the generic mail icon? Also is there a way to get a different alert sound for each email?

No.
You need to review this (WYSISWG):

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.

Can Multiple email accounts on Galaxy S4 sync with iCloud & non-iCloud email?

Hello… has anyone successfully set up multiple email accounts (iCloud/Yahoo/AT&T/etc.) on their Samsung Galaxy S4 Jelly Bean 4.2? I searched the forums and it has been said that configuration settings depend on the combination of wireless service provider + device model + email providers + Android version.
My S4 is from AT&T and if this scenario can't work, I have to cancel my contract in a few days (although that would be the last resort). From checking the forums, not everyone has been able to get the S4 to work with iCloud. In my case, I hope to sync up with iCloud and non-iCloud email which might be trickier.
Here is one thread that helps with settings, but doesn't seem to address multiple or non-iCloud accounts: https://discussions.apple.com/message/22435596#22435596
Some background info…
Although Gmail just works on Android devices, I plan to primarily use Apple/Yahoo/AT&T email (at least initially).
I don’t yet have Apple mail/iCloud, but plan to. I am partially switched to the Mac (Mtn Lion), but haven’t completed the jump from Windows.
I don’t have an iPhone (so hopefully that makes the setup less complicated.)
I mostly care about email on the S4 (I’m not concerned about syncing up contacts, calendar, music, etc.).
Apologies for the long post, but hopefully I’ve included the necessary background info for the questions below:
Is it possible to setup multiple (iCloud/Yahoo/AT&T) emails on the Samsung Galaxy S4 from AT&T so that they sync nicely?
From the S4, if I reply to an email, will the Sender in the email reply be the same account which received the email? Or, (as I’ve read in the excerpt below) will the Sender for all email replies from the S4 be set from a fixed/primary account?
Although the first two questions above are the most urgent for now, I'd appreciate pointers if you see something that should be changed in the configuration settings below.
Thanks in advance!

After spending quite some time trying to get my T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II setup with iCloud mail, this is what finally worked. Thanks to everyone for the various bits that helped lead me in the right direction. For those who need lots of detail, I hope the below helps. Please don't ask me about any other specific Android phones as I'm not expert but thought someone out there could benefit from my experience.
INCOMING SERVER SETTINGS
User Name: username (do not enter @me,com or @mac.com)
Password: (enter your password)
IMAP server: imap.mail.me.com
Security type: SSL
Port: 993
IMAP path prefix: p##- (you can find this by checking your account settings on your Mac. Mine was p03- so that's what I entered here)
Press NEXT
OUTGOING SERVER SETTINGS
SMTP server: smtp.mail.me.com
Security type: TLS
Port: 587
check the box next to "Require sign-in" if it's not already checked
User name: username (do not enter @me.com or @mac.com)
Password (enter your password)
Press NEXT
Your phone will check the server settings and you should be able to see your email now.
And another poster provided these additional tips…
Definitely select SSL/TLS and accept all certificates
Now here's the zinger: Authentication should be LOGIN
After figuring this out, I finally (after many hours of searching and testing) got to my outgoing server settings, which are: smtp.me.com
NONE for security type
Tic "Require Sign-in"
Authentication is PLAIN
And another poster's question about the Sender's email address for multiple accounts…
Managed to get this all set up however, Android only seems to allow you to send from your primary address and only reply from your primary address even if a mail was sent to one of the other addresses.
Any ideas how to get around this as I have three addresses beneath my primary which I need to both send from and reply from.

You're unlikely to find many people with experience of configuring multiple email accounts on a specific Samsung device, here on the Apple forum for an Apple service. Try the Samsung forums for help setting up your Samsung phone.
There are a few posts with general info relating to setting up an iCloud email account on Android here if you search though.

If I have multiple email accounts, how can I prevent one of them from sending email?

If set up multiple email accounts in Thunderbird, how can I prevent one of them from sending email, while allowing others to send?

Simple answer:
do not use the email address when sending or replying or forwarding emails. Sending is not automatic, you have to generate the email and click on a Send button.
You could use an smtp server that will not allow sending using the incorrect server for the email address, so that it cannot send, but if you accidentally use the email address you may get an error message, but at least the email will not be sent. Do this here:
Tools > Account Settings for the mail account.
bottom right Outgoing Server - select one that will not accept sending using wrong email address
OR
in Outgoing Server(SMTP) select the server you are using for that account
click on 'Edit'
deliberately make an error in the server name - remove the port details etc.
So the details are wrong and cannot send.

Multiple email accounts in Thunderbird, but email always sent out from just one no matter which i use - how do I stop that?

I have multiple email accounts on TB. however, whenever I send an email from any of the other accounts, when the email arrives it shows as having been sent from the email account I first set up on TB. even if i am replying to an email received, the reply shows from the original account instead of the one I actually send it from. I REALLY need to fix this fast!!

You have to set the return address to a different one from the first one (since that will usually be the default) if that is what you want. You can set the identity information from Account Settings > [account name] > Manage Identities button.

How to setup multiple email accounts on one apple device It syncs to the rest of my apple devices?

I have a Macbook pro (10.8.2), iPad 4 (6.0.1), and iPhone 5 (6.0.1).
I have multiple email accounts set up on my iPhone:
3X Work
1X personal
1X School
They use Gmail and Microsoft exchange.
Is it possible to have all these accounts automatically created on my ipad and Macbook without typing in all info again?
Heres a visual:
I hope this makes it a little more clear.
I'm sure in the time it took me to type this, I could've manually added all the accounts to the devices lol
Oh, and iCloud > Mail is enabled on all devices.
Thanks for any and all help!

Your post is a bit open ended....
First thing - You need to decide if you want to use virtual domains or not.
If
     [email protected]
     [email protected]
     [email protected]
all should be separate mailboxes, then you need virtual domains.
If those 3 addresses can all go to the same mailbox, then you don't.
If you don't need virtual domains, then don't use them... things are simpler without that feature.
If thats the case, in the domain name field in Mail service, enter your primary domain.
You'll then need to enter your other domains via command line.
First, check your mail domain setting with:
sudo serveradmin settings mail:postfix:mydomain
Here is how you enter more than one domain:
- Quit the Server app
- Issue this with your domains between the quotes
sudo serveradmin settings mail:postfix:mydomain = "domain1.com, domain2.com"
- Restart postfix to activate your change
sudo postfix reload
If you open the Server app, you will notice both domains are now listed.

In Mail Preferences/Accounts/each GMail account, set up the SMTP Outgoing Server for each account separately, going into SMTP name/edit/Advanced and specify the Username of each account. The Outgoing servers must be two different servers, authenticated by the Username and Password of each.
Otherwise, the GMail SMTP server will change the from address to that of the account where the SMTP server was setup.

I have multiple email accounts in my iPhone. Before the 6.0 update... I could select what account to send from. Now it's a default. Do I have to go change the email default everytime I want to send an email from a different account?

Multiple calendars and multiple email accounts?

How can I associate iCal calendars to Apple Mail accounts?
Let's say I have two email accounts configured in Apple Mail ("home" and "work") and I have two calendars with the sames names. When I add an event to iCal, I want to use the matching email account for sending invitations, depending on which calendar I've selected. Is this possible? Otherwise my private email address might get used for invitations to work events and vice versa.

Wow, does anyone know how to do this? I really need to have multiple calendars that reference multiple email accounts in iCal... Is there a trick on how to do this? Or, is there a better place to post so Apple puts this feature in the next software release?

Multiple email accounts but receiving emails through 1 account all the time

I have a multiple email accounts set up (called email 1,2,3 and 4 for simplicity) through BIS. Every time I receive an email message irrespective of the email address its sent to it is received through just one account all the time (Email 3). For example somebody sends me a message using the email 1 adress. Its received through email 3. If i hit reply to sender the reply is sent through email 3 (i cannot change this). If I forward the response rather than reply to the response I have the option to send it through email 1,2,3 or 4. If i delete the email 3 account I do not receive any emails. Have tried changing phone, sim card, deleting and resending service books, all email settings and defaults set to email account 1 etc. Has anyone seen this before or does anyone have any suggestions..........

Can you tell us which is the mail account ( hotmail, gmail or any personal)
