Multiple IMAP accounts on same domain - collisions?

i am migrating to mail.app (from entourage) and starting to set up several of my mail accounts, i am also switching many of my accounts to IMAP.
I currently have three IMAP accounts from the same domain in mail.app (admin@, need@ and offer@) and it seems as if every time mail checks the server there is a problem with one of the accounts. but it is never the same account, and not always one... every 5 minutes (currently) when mail.app checks at least one of the 3 displays an alert. setting it to "online" works every time.
Is it possible that 3 accounts are too much at once (from the same domain) the 3 other accounts on different domains always work. Is this a known issue?

I've got the same problem - and maybe it's not the answer You want to hear .
I've solved this problem by changing to Thunderbird. I didn't find the correspondig config switch in Mail.app; in Thunderbird I can reduce the number of "persistent connections" to the mail server. It seems that my provider (he uses PLESK) has a limit of simultanous connection to one server, so my 4 Email-Accounts can not be reached at the "same" time.
If I reduce my accounts to 2, I can reach both of them.
Maybe someone else can tell You (and me) where to change the settings of Mail.app; I gave up!

Multiple AD account in single domain for a single user

Hi,
Does OIM support multiple AD account in single domain for a single user?
Scenario 1 :- If the multiple accounts already exists in AD can I pull it from AD to OIM for single user.
Scenraio 2:- Does OIM allow creation of multiple account in AD for a single user, when requested from OIM?
Thanks,

yes. this is possible. OIM allow this.
obviously the recon rule would be employee number or anything other than ' sAmAccontName' for target recon
while provisioning make sure you are generating unique sAmAccountName and Common Name(if in same OU) for same user
If you maintain above no issue having multiple account for a sing user in single domain

How to make multiple portals work in same domain (wlp 9.2)? IMPORTANT !!!

We have domain where one portal application is in production now and other portal application have to deploy in the same domain.
The first one is using global scoped DataSources and the new one is using application scoped because they have to use own schemas in the database.
Also Group and User/role management have to work application scoped, meaning that in one's portal admin console shows only users/groups/roles to that portal.
How do I do this and what is the optional/best practises to do this kind of configuration, configure and deploy multiple portals in the same domain ?
I get so far that I make new SQLAuthenticator and XCAMLRoleMapper to the new portal but when the LDAP and database goes out of sync and I delete P13N -tables and LDAP, server start creates only to the first portal database the needed rows and delegated admin management doesn't work in the new one at all.
I have read all bea's documents related to JDBC - application scoping, deploying, security P13N and I can't get enough information from it to make this work.
Thanks !

You may want to ask in the weblogic.developer.interest.portal forum.
I don't believe that group and user/role management can be application
scoped.

Is it possible to have multiple SOA Server within same domain ?

Hi All
I need to know whether I can install and setup multiple soa_servers inside the same domain so that they can be managed by single weblogic instance.
The use case scenario :
We have a single DEV environment instance that has several environments configured with it like PR1, PR2, TR, PY, PC.
The way we have achieved it is by creating partitions under soa_infra and deploying the code as we move up the ladder in testing phases before we move to separate QA and Prod.
Because of the way Dev is being setup, we are not able to use/test Oracle B2B properly because there is no way to have environment specific distinction be created in Oracle B2B.
In essence, at any point in time testing can happen only in one environment for out Dev box because it makes call to Oracle B2B (Trading Partners) and there is no way for us to distinguish whether the call is coming from PR1 or PR2 or PC or TR or PY.
We have no issue testing it as long as it is not restricted to B2B but with B2B we are restricted because a single soa instance has a single B2b instance. ( We can not have partition wise instances of B2B)
Requirement :
Is it possible to install and configure different soa_server for.e.g
soa_server1 : PR1
soa_server2 : PR2
soa_server3 : PY
soa_server4 : PC
soa_server5 : TR
inside the same domain (dev_domain) so that they can be managed from single weblogic instance through Admin console and we can have different B2B instances for each soa_server.
This way we will be able to differentiate between environments on the basis of ports with the same IP address.
Please let me know if there is a possibility of achieving the same.
Thank you so much in advance.
Regards
ACM

Thanks Sharmela for your directions.
Let me try to clone the soa server and see if it helps.
Before I move forward, I would like to verify one thing from you.
As you have mentioned the word "cluster" , I am not exactly trying to achieve the clustered setup "conventional way of load balancing and high availability" but instead I want to have these cloned soa servers( soa_server1 : 8001,soa_server2 : 8002,soa_server3 : 8003,soa_server4 : 8004,soa_server5:8005 )to have separate partitions ( PR1, PR2, PY, TR,PC) respectively.
I hope I don't have to configure OHS to access these nodes since I want these nodes be available as a separate instance rather than redirecting load in case of any other becoming unresponsive ( OHS configuration)
I am not sure whether I am making sense but all I need to do is point the PR1 instance having it's own port number(8001) to the PR1 instance of ERP.
I think it is doable but just wanted to double check with you.
Please let me know
Thank you

Mail.app handling multiple IMAP accounts

Hi,
I find it really hard to use multiple IMAP accounts with Mail.app. The way it displays IMAP accounts is really ugly and very confusing. At best you have one Inbox which displays all the Inboxes on your accounts. Then you have separate drafts, sent, trash treelike view for your accounts "special" mailboxes and then again some-kind-of-tree-view of your IMAP account - which by the way doesn't always even display! It depends if you have checked save trash/sent/junk/etc. messages to server or something which really doesn't have any logic in it. Also it doesn't display all the folders like Inbox (which is combined mailbox at the top which I explained). Then you can drag mailbox from your IMAP account to the "panel" which I think only copies and is not shortcut.
Could you please do something to this instead of adding some ugly templates for sending your holiday pictures to your mom. I think that Mail.app should be developed to more "professional" usage, rather than develope features that teaches people to use their mailclient as a personal spamming tool for horrible HTML-mails.
ps. I'd also like to turn off that stupid embedded-attachemts. Attachments are attachments and not a part of the email content thanks.
-edit-
you can see a screenshot of my Mail.app at work. I use more mailboxes at home and it's way more ugly. There should also be somekind of "don't display" -options as it displays some horrible Exchange-folders also.

Mail - Multiple Imap Accounts - Sent Folders

I have multiple Imap accounts set up in my mail.app. I know of the feature to set the the sent mail folder. But what do I do with multiple imap accounts and multiple sent folders? When I would like all my accounts to have the correct sent items.

Not every IMAP server requires that you use that command -- if not needed, then the options for that command will be gray when you select an individual Sent mailbox from the Sidebar. Are you saying there is no black triangle beside the Sent icon, even though you have sent a message from the account?
Control click on the Inbox of the second IMAP account, and choose Get Account Info -- there, under the Quota Limits tab you will see all the folders that currently exist on that IMAP server. What do you see?

HT1277 Multiple accounts on same domain in Apple Mail blocks connection to the mail server.

I am trying to run two separate mail accounts on my Mac in Apple Mail, both using the same domain name. I don't want to use aliases because one is a personal mail account and the other is a helpdesk one, with different signatures. I also want to keep emails for those accounts separate.
I can get the first account working fine. When I add the second account, Apple Mail tells me it can't connect to the mail server for either account. As soon as I remove the second account, the first account starts working again.
Anyone know why this might be?
The mail server is Postfix running on a Linux server. My Mac is running OS X Lion v10.7.5.
The mail accounts are IMAP - I also access them from my iPhone 3GS (iOS 6). Again, I can get the first one working from the iPhone, but as soon as I add the second one it falls over.

If the email service you were trying to connect to was an icloud email account, then the outgoing server can't possibly be right (yahoo.com???). If it's to yahoo, then the "apple.smtp.mail" part certainly looks suspicious. Are you sure the server address wasn't changed at some point?
So the first question for you is.. which email service were you trying to use? Yahoo or icloud (or something else)?

Multiple iCloud accounts on same device

With multiple MobileMe accounts (on the same device), only the 'primary' account would 'push' email. The other accounts would need to manually fetch the email.
Has this changed with iCloud? If you set up multiple iCloud accounts, will they all have email 'pushed'?
What about Contacts and Calendars? Will changes get 'pushed' to all accounts or just the primary account?
If Contacts and Calendar changes are not pushed, how can a device be updated with the latest info? With email, there is usually a 'Get mail' button or at least you can set a schedule so messages will get fetched, but there's no such facility for Contacts and Calendars. So if there's no push, how can they keep in sync?
I'm hoping that even if email push only works for the primary account, it WILL work for Contacts and Calendars, even on the other 'secondary' iCloud accounts. Can anyone confirm this either way?

Updating this myself as I have some more information.
The secondary iCloud accounts seem to get mail pushed to them, even on iOS devices which suggests that iOS 5 now does indeed support IMAP IDLE as I cannot see how this would occur otherwise.
However, an odd thing has occured on the Mac. A day after setting up the 3 iCLoud accounts, during which time it has all worked perfectly well, this morning OSX has modified all the accounts, all by itself. It has self-created 3 MobileMe accounts, named the same as the iCloud accounts were and those have now all been renamed 'iCloud'. The iCloud accounts now have Mail turned OFF and the new MobileMe accounts have that turned ON. IOW, the new MobileMe accounts have taken over the email duties.
There's 2 oddities about this, well more than 2 really.
Why create these new 'email only' accounts as type MobileMe which will soon be entirely defunct?
Why would it do this at all? Why not just leave the 3 x iCloud accounts, as they were?
How has it done this all by itself? Shouldn't such account creation be a manual process by the user?
It doesn't seem to have affected the functionality, but I am at a complete loss as to what is going on here. So if anyone can shed some light on it I'd be grateful.

Merge iweb sites from multiple user accounts on same computer

With the previous iweb version, my children created their own iweb sites on their own users, but all under my own .mac account. It worked great.
But now with the new "upgraded" iweb '08, that isn't allowed anymore.
So, I created a new user on our computer for all of us to use to maintain our multiple iweb accounts on.
How can I move multiple iweb sites from multiple users on the same computer into one user?

Each of the user's work in iWeb will be contained in a single file, Domain.sites2, which can be found in this location on the hard drive for each user account. You will need to copy all of these Domain.sites2 files to an external drive, or, at the very least, burn them to a disk to make them transferable from one user account to another. A flash drive also works great for this.
Once you have made all of these Domain files accessible from the new user account that you created, you will still have a formidable task ahead of you, i.e., publishing separate sites, from separate Domain.sites2 files, to the same .Mac account/directory. In other words, bringing all of these Domain files together for access by a single user account will not solve the problem. You may very well be able to solve the problem with things the way they are, but it will involve some shuffling of Site's files on the iDisk prior to publishing.
The method I'm going to give you has worked well for me. So far, here in the forums, I've read posts from (2) other users who were also successful. Conversely, I know of at least (3) other users who have been unsuccessful with this approach. I sure hope it works for you.
Open System Preferences and go to .Mac. Turn syncing off, if it is on, and leave it off.
Now, in Finder, navigate to the current Site files on your iDisk, following this path:
Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites/NameOfSiteFolder
Drag the Site folder that is named for your site, (not the directory Site folder), back one level on the iDisk, into the Web folder. This is where some run into difficulties--you may get an error message that the folder is "in use, and cannot be moved". I have never gotten this message, and am able to move my Site's folders around with no problem on the iDisk.
If you are successful moving the folder, choose one of your other accounts on your machine, launch iWeb, and Publish all to .Mac. The existing site on the server will not be deleted. Now, go back to the iDisk and move that site folder, (the one you just published), back one level, again, to the root Web directory. Publish your next site, from your next account.
When you are finished publishing sites, just move the Site folders back to their original location on the iDisk--Web/Sites/SiteFoldersHere. All sites will be accessible from a browser using the web.mac.com/username/nameofsite url.
It is important to use the Publish all to .Mac command in iWeb. A simple Publish to .Mac command will not put the correct index.html file in place on the server.
Post back and inform us of your success.

I have multiple imap accounts on thunderbird, but the last two accounts will not show messages in the inbox.

I have 7 imap accounts some with several subscribed folders. One is a gmail account. The others are from a personal .com. Everything works fine, including the gmail, except the last two accounts added will not sync the inboxes. The sent boxes sync fine, but I see no messages in the inboxes of just the last two accounts added. I know the imap server is working properly as the messages received to these accounts can be viewed via webmail, and the inboxes sync just fine on my email on my phone. I have been over and over all the settings from account to account. What am I missing. Please help.
Thank you.

Multiple IMAP-accounts in Mutt.

I have been struggling with Mutt for a while now. It works as it should when only working with one IMAP-account, but if I add more, only the last one is active. I have searched the manual about it but it is quite cryptic for me.
I can use offlineimap and manually change the directory within Mutt, but if I connect to the imap-servers directly I can't see any way of changing account...
Any ideas?
/F

Anyway, you can do the same also with isync/mbsync, where you can either list explicitly the folders you want to sync, or catch the wanted folders with patterns.
Nowadays I actually use mbsync, because it is more protected from deletion (I do never want to delete mails from gmail!), it allows you to force pull or push syncs and gives meaningful error messages (being written in C instead of python). I uploaded to the AUR a version of isync with some important patches from fedora.

Can't add 2 IMAP accounts with same incoming server

I'm trying to move all my email accounts from POP to IMAP. Where I have 2 (or more) accounts on the same mail server I can't create the second account - it says the IMAP server will not connect.
I have tried adding one account then the other. Whichever I add first works and the second always fails.
Any ideas please?

Some mail servers are set to only allow a limited number of simultaneous connections from the same IP address. You need to check with admin of the mail server to increase the threshold if that is the case.
Also the server administrator would able the check system logs to see if there are any login errors.
I use apple mail and have 3 imap accounts on the same mail server functioning without issue. But I had to change a setting on the mail server to increase the max connections from the same IP. Luckily I administrate my own mail servers.

Problems setting up multiple exchange accounts with same user name

Hello,
I have two email addresses on the same exchange server at work that I would like to configure on my iPhone4 running iOS 4.3.3. I can setup the first email just fine but when I set up the second email iOS tells me " Cannot Create Account: An identical Exchange account already exists". Here is a working example:
[email protected]
[email protected]
username and password for both email1 and email2 are the same credentials. Am I getting this error message b/c the username for both accounts is the same? if so is there a workaround for it without having to change the username for one of the accounts?
Any help would be appreciated. Also, we are using Microsoft Exchange 2010.
Thanks

I'm having the same problem. From all the information I can find, iOS doesn't allow you to access multiple Exchange accounts using the same credentials. I'm not sure if this is a restriction of iOS or a restriction of Exchange ActiveSync.

How to create send connectors for multiple sites in the same domain?

Current Scenario:
We have 2 offices, 1 in London and 1 in India. Both are in the same domain and are connected via VPN. Both have their own separate Exchange 2003 server. Each location sends out their mail via the Default SMTP Virtual Server on their exchange server through
their local ISP. There are no Send connectors created currently.
We have now installed an additional Exchange 2010 server with Hub, CAS and Mailbox roles at the London site. Internal mail flow between the sites seems to be working fine.
I believe the Exchange 2010 needs a Send connector to send out mail to the internet. However as soon as we create a Send connector on Exchange 2010, mail from the older 2003 servers at both sites start to flow out from the exchange 2010 server. This is not
optimal for our India site since their outgoing mail now has to flow via the VPN to London and out via the new server.
How can we configure it so that each server sends outgoing mail independently?
Thanks

Hi,
In India site, you can create a SMTP connector which point to the local ISP.
Thanks.
