Multiple email accounts stored in local folders
My previous installation, all my email accounts shared the same folder structure ie Inbox, Sent, Deleted etc in LOCAL FOLDERS and my own directory storage setup also in LOCAL FOLDERS. Due to a complete hardware failure and subsequent reinstallation I cannot replicate this; I can set up the local folders as was as I maintained a backup, but each email address I set up now has its own set of Inbox, Sent, Deleted etc. I can set up a rather complex set of message filters but this was not previously required. Any ideas??
You are talking about Pop mail accounts set up as a Global account.
see info here:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Global_Inbox
'''How to change pop mail account into a Global Inbox Local Folders account.'''
* Go into 'Offline' mode - this will stop any downloads.
how to quickly swap to offline -
you do not need to synch folders. click on two blue screen icon located bottom left in status bar it should change to two black screen icon - this is offline mode.
* If you have any emails in the pop mail account folders, then move all emails from the mail account into Local Folders.
Then go into Account Settings to set up Global Inbox:
* Tools > Account Settings > Server Settings for the mail account
or
* Menu Icon > Options > Account Settings > Server Settings for the mail account
* click on 'Advanced' button
* select: Inbox for different account 'Global Inbox (Local Folders)'
* select 'Include this server when getting mail'
* click on OK
* Check settings for other folders and filters
* then do same for the other pop mail accounts that needt o use same Inbox
* Click on OK to close and save settings.
* '''Now Close Thunderbird - this is important'''
wait a few moments for background processes to complete.
Open Thunderbird It should restart in online mode, If it doesn't, clickon the two black screen icon to swap to online mode.
The pop mail accounts should disappear from the Folder Pane and now only show the Local Folders.
All emails will be downloaded to Local Folders Inbox.

Outlook 2011 - configure outlook to display multiple email accounts.
I am having difficulty displaying multiple email accounts with their own default folders. I have tried multiple times and with no sucess. My email uses the POP settings. I have not had this issue with windows based programs. I had read somewhere that I may have to apply rule but I have seen some tutorials that apprear to work but my options that are available do not match the tutorials.
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. -
Are multiple email accounts backed up to iCloud or just one associated with my AppleID?
Are multiple email accounts backed up to iCloud or just one associated with my AppleID?
The iCloud backup will include the settings for all your Mail accounts (but not the email itself) if that's what your asking. The iCloud mail server only includes your iCloud mail. The mail from other accounts is stored on the servers with these other accounts.

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. -
How do I access multiple email accounts
I just got my Bionic a few days ago and have set up multiple email accounts (work, gmail, yahoo). When I click the "email" icon only one account appears. I can't seem to find the inbox, etc for any of the other accounts. The only time I can find those messages is when a new message comes in and I get notified of it. Then I can catch the other messages.
How do I access the inboxes for all the accounts? This must be obvious but i'm missing it.Questions are typically followed by a question mark. My answer answered your question.
Firefox doesn't do email, so there are no "Firefox email accounts". If you are accessing "email" with Firefox, you are using web mail. Some web mail services don't allow for direct access, they want their users to access their email from a "portal" or "main" page and will re-direct any attempt to load an "internal" web site page back to the main page.
As far as loading 3 different web mail accounts at the same time, if they are in the same domain it won't work on Firefox without a Firefox addon. http://br.mozdev.org/multifox/
IOW, if those three email accounts all with Yahoo, without that add-on you would have to logon to each email account separately and log out of the first before logging into the 2nd. Then log out of the 2nd before logging into the 3rd. Firefox isn't capable of having multiple session cookies for simultaneous logon's to the same server. That add-on provides that "multiple sessions cookies" feature. -
My new computer is 64-bit running Windows 7 pro, SP1 and Microsoft Office 2010 Pro Plus 32-bit
My phone is a 4S runing iOS 6.1.3
Very frustrated now that I have recently installed itunes and outlook on this new computer. Everything worked perfectly ok on my laptop which was also 64-bit Windows 7 and running 32-bit Microsoft Office 2010 Pro. I have multiple email accounts set up in Outlook tho only use contacts and calendar in relation to one of these. Cannot sync itunes with the correct contacts and calendars, when I sync the calendar and contacts are empty. Not sure if there is any way to point itunes to particular address books and calendars.
I have installed and uninstalled itunes 3 times and thank goodness have a backup
Can anyone help please?
thanks in anticipationI had my home computer set up to sync to work's Exchange server. It worked well, but I didn't like seeing work email messages and other programs trying to sync with my default Outlook folder, which was then the Exchange (& work related) .ost file. I know there are various ways to manage those problems using filters, view, subfolders, etc., but it was a hassle for me. I think it could work well for many other folks.
For now, I have published my work calendar and subscribed to that calendar on my home computer. So I have view only access to my calendar on my home computer (and I can add/edit calendar items on my iPad (or Outlook Web Access) when away from work). This is not quite what I wanted, but it may work.
It almost makes me long for the days when I used my Windows Mobile Treo to sync back and forth between exchange at work and outlook at home (but had many sync conflicts as a result). -
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. -
How can i read multiple email accounts?
hi,
my program is to get emails from multiple email accounts, and grab the attachments, but it doesn't work properly.
If there's only one email account, it works fine, but if there are more, it looks like that the program always goes into the first mail account to read the messages. i suspect that the 'Server' or the 'Session' are not reset before each connection, i printed out the connected 'Folder', it looks fine, but every time the 'Folder.getMessageCount()' returns the same number of messages as the first email account has.
Here's my code:
// this is to get the folder, mostly 'inbox'
// serverString is like: "protocol://username@host/foldername"
// all parameters are retrieved from the Database
public static Folder getMailFolder(String serverString, String username, String password) throws Exception {
// URLName server = new URLName("protocol://username@host/foldername");
Folder folder = null;
URLName server = new URLName(serverString);
// the session is created by grabbing the authentication using the username and password
// the MailAuthenticator is an inner class as shown at the bottom
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(new Properties(),
new MailAuthenticator(username, password));
folder = session.getFolder(server);
// this message always show the same number of messages
System.out.println("folder retrieved for " + serverString + ", with " + folder.getMessageCount() + " messages");
return folder;
// this method is to get the messages from the folder
public static void getEmailWithSubjectContaining(String emailUrl, String username, String password,
String regex, String filepath, boolean addPrefix, boolean delete)
throws Exception {
Folder folder = getMailFolder(emailUrl, username, password);
if (folder == null) return;
folder.open(Folder.READ_WRITE);
Message[] msgs = folder.getMessages();
// Here is my problem, the msgs.length always returns the same value
// which is the number of messages that the first email account has
System.out.println("Totally there are " + msgs.length);
for (int i = 0; i < msgs.length; i++) {
String pathToSave = filepath;
String subject = msgs.getSubject();
System.out.println("Email subject: " + subject);
// examine if the message should be dumped and deleted
if (!subject.matches(regex)) {
System.out.println("Email subject doesn't match regex: " + regex + ", this email is ignored.");
continue;
Part p = (Part) msgs[i];
// p.getFileName();
if (addPrefix) {
pathToSave = filepath + "/" + getFilenamePrefix(subject);
// this method call is to save the attachment
dumpAttachment(p, pathToSave);
msgs[i].setFlag(Flags.Flag.DELETED, delete);
folder.expunge();
folder.close(false);
// this method calls getEmailWithSubjectContaining using a loop
public static void getEmailWithSubjectContaining(String dbUsername, String dbPassword, String dbUrl) throws Exception {
Connection con = null;
if (dbUrl == null || dbUrl.equals("")) dbUrl = "jdbc:mysql://localhost/email_util";
try {
// here is just simply get the Database connection
con = MySqlJDBCConnection.getConnection(dbUsername, dbPassword, dbUrl);
Statement s = con.createStatement();
String sql = "SELECT * FROM email_fetching_config WHERE active = 1";
ResultSet rs = s.executeQuery(sql);
while (rs.next()) {
String protocol = rs.getString("protocol");
String url = rs.getString("url");
String box = rs.getString("email_box");
String username = rs.getString("username");

String emailUrl = protocol + "://" + username + "@" + url + "/" + box;
boolean addPrefix = (!prefix.equals("") || prefix != null);
System.out.println("Ready to grab emails from " + emailUrl + ", path to save is: " + path);
try {
getEmailWithSubjectContaining(emailUrl, username, password, regex, path, addPrefix, delete);
} catch (Exception ex) {

regardsAssuming you're passing in the right URL, I don't see the problem.
Still, try change session.getDefaultInstance to session.getInstance
and see if that helps. If not, turn on session debugging and check the
protocol trace for clues. If you still can't figure it out, post the protocol
trace. -
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 do I set a preference for opening one of multiple email accounts first?
I have multiple email accounts and prefer to open one of them first when I open the email app. After setup of all my email accounts the app is opening one of the accounts that is not my preference even though I setup my preferred account as the default. I've deleted all accounts and started over thinking that the order of the setup made a difference but it has not helped.
In particular I want an Exchange email account to open first and this account is not sync'ed with iTunes.
Would appreciate any suggestions.
Thank you,The only way that you can do something even close to what you are trying to do is to back out of whatever you are in while using the mail app in order to get back to the main mail window that shows all of your inboxes and all of the different email accounts under the accounts heading. Then you could choose to use the Exchange account first from there.
You would have to do this every single time that you are done with mail and it isn't exactly what you are looking to do and it's hardly worth the time anyway. -
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

How to Sync Multiple email Account with iCloud
I have many email account over a local internet service provider and different hosting companie.
Is it possible to sync all my account over my MacBook, iMac, iPhone using icloud?
How can I do this?
Can you help?
Thank you,
BigBlazeAccording the this: http://www.apple.com/mobileme/transition.html, "After moving to iCloud, family member accounts are no longer linked to the master account." You can share an iCloud calendar (see http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2690), but I don't think you will be able to share iCloud contacts unless you are signed into the same iCloud account on both phones.

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?
ThanksThanks. 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?
