Multiple instances of mailboxes

I have four accounts in Mail.app: three are IMAP, one is POP.
The three IMAP accounts each have their own sent, trash, and junk folders.
There is also a sent, trash, and junk folder at the top level.
Two of my IMAP accounts are duplicated. One copy has the in-basket icon, the other has a globe icon.
What can I do to have just one copy of everything?
Thanks for your help.

You cannot actually have just one copy of everything, since each account (including the local pseudo account "On My Mac") is an entity unto itself & Mail only acts as an aggregator that allows convenient access to each account in one application.
However, you can treat sent, trash, junk, etc. mailboxes as big "master" mailboxes to some extent by clicking the disclosure triangle next to each "parent" mailbox to hide the display of its "children" mailboxes.
Also note that IMAP accounts actually maintain multiple mailbox folders on the server & Mail optionally syncs them with the local copies for offline access. You may be able to reduce the number of displayed IMAP mailboxes using the "Use This Mailbox For ..." menu option to tell Mail that the server uses some other mailbox name for a standard one, for example that the server uses "Spam" for its junk mailbox.
If all this seems confusing, first consult Mail's Help topics like What is IMAP mail?, Renaming, moving, or deleting a mailbox, or I can't find email messages stored on the mail server. If you still have questions, post them here.

Multiple instances of Mail.app must be possible

I've seen many questions regarding the possibility of running multiple instances of Mail.app as separate processes. There seems to be much good reason to be able to do so, i.e. separating work and private mail, and very little bad reason to do so (maybe some problems when doing upgrades or backups, but I'm not yet sure of this). It also seems that it should not be so hard to do.
So far, using some web acquired wisdom, I've done the following:
1. Duplicate mail.app:
sudo ditto Mail.app WorkMail.app
2. Rename the executable:
mv /Applications/WorkMail.app/Contents/MacOS/Mail /Applications/WorkMail.app/Contents/MacOS/WorkMail
3. Use Property List Editor to set the following values in/Applications/WorkMail.app/Contents/Info.plist (Apple-S to Save changes!):
Root/CFBundleExecutable=WorkMail
Root/CFBundleIdentifier=com.apple.workmail
Root/CFBundleName=WorkMail
Root/NSServices/0/NSPortName=WorkMail
Root/NSServices/1/NSPortName=WorkMail
Root/NSServices/2/NSPortName=WorkMail
Root/UTExportedTypeDeclarations/0/UTTypeIdentifier=com.apple.workmail.emlx
Root/UTExportedTypeDeclarations/1/UTTypeIdentifier=com.apple.workmail.emlx.part
4. Create the following directories:
mkdir ~/Library/WorkMail Downloads
mkdir ~/Library/WorkMail
4. Launch the 'new' application 'WorkMail'.
5. Create mail accounts using the application's 'wizard'.
Here is where the first problem is encountered. The new account directories and files are still created at ~/Library/Mail. Navigating to Mail->Preferences->Accounts->[account_name]->Advanced seems to offer the option to change the mail store account directory, but nothing can actually be changed here. So...
6. Quit WorkMail.
7. Move newly created account(s) directories (where [newaccountdirectory] is a directory named with the format: [mail_type]-[user]@[domain].[tld]@[pop].[domain].[tld]]) to the correct location:
sudo mv ~/Library/Mail/[newaccountdirectory] ~/Library/WorkMail/
8. Use Property List Editor to set the following values in ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.workmail.plist (Apple-S to Save changes!):
/Root/ActiveViewers/0/AttachedMailboxListExpandedItems/[0to_#_ofaccounts]/=~/Library/WorkMail/Mailboxes/...
/Root/CurrentTransferMailboxPath=~/Library/WorkMail/Mailboxes/...
/Root/MailAccounts/[0to_#_of_accounts]/AccountPath=~/Library/WorkMail/[new_accountdirectory]
/Root/MailDownloadsPath=~/Library/WorkMail Downloads
9. Relaunch WorkMail.
Everything at this point seems to work okay, **BUT** when I launch Mail while WorkMail is launched, I find that I cannot navigate into any mail folders within Mail. I receive an error message indicating that a necessary directory is locked. It seems that the locking mechanism used by the application may be hard-coded to lock ~/Library/Mail, and both instances of the application continue to take this action when launched, making it impossible for both to work harmoniously at the same time. I will conduct more testing and experimentation, but I am not yet capable of editing the application itself. If anyone can take us this last step, I'm sure there are many who would also like to be able to take advantage of the potential functionality.
Thanks for any input!

Hopefully, there is someone with a programming background who
can take me and other who have posted similar questions through
the final mile on this...
Well, I do have a programming background, and I must say that it amazes me that someone might want to do what you did to “solve” a problem that IMO doesn’t exist.
What exactly is it that you expect to accomplish by running multiple instances of Mail, and for which neither (1) organizing your mail using multiple mail accounts, custom mailboxes, rules, and/or smart mailboxes, nor (2) setting up separate user accounts, are acceptable solutions? I just don’t get it.
I've seen many questions regarding the possibility of running multiple
instances of Mail.app as separate processes.
I haven’t. Could you please provide a link for such a question, preferably one asked by someone who knew how Mail and Mac OS X work, i.e. a link for a case where there really was such a need?
There seems to be much good reason to be able to do so
I know of no such reasons, neither good nor bad.
i.e. separating work and private mail
I don’t see how that’s a reason to want to run multiple instances of Mail. Could you please elaborate?
Maybe if you tell us what exactly is the problem that you’re trying to solve, instead of focusing on a convoluted “solution” that doesn’t work, we could propose a solution that does...
and very little bad reason to do so
Well, if the fact that it’s so convoluted and doesn’t even work aren’t bad enough reasons, I don’t know what it is...
It also seems that it should not be so hard to do.
I wonder what makes you think so. It does certainly seem hard to me, so hard that I don’t even think it can be done without breaking something, if at all...

Re: Open Multiple Instance of Profile in Outlook 2013

Hi Aaron,
Thx for your reply, its for users who want to have 2 primary mailboxes, cos they want to send emails from it.
Its more to avoid the "send on behalf " option coming for the end user , also to have the sent emails populate up in the respective mailboxe " sent item " folder
hope im making sense
appreciate your help
cheers

How to create multiple adapters / multiple instances of adapters

i need to read out more than one incoming mailboxes. do i have to install as many partitions of the smtp adapter as ingoing mailboxes need to be connected? if so, how do i start more than one adapter on the same machine / same hub? if i simply try to start the same adapter twice, i get the following error:
The Adapter is already running. You cannot have same adapter registered twice even if installed on different machines for a single integration hub. For scalability, if you want to use multiple instances or partitions of the same adapter, please set the adapter.ini parameter to allocate instance or partition values as appropriate. Please stop the Adapter before starting it again.
so i could configure a second adapter.ini file for the second partition. but how do i start the partition? there is no ini-tag in the start-script provided with the adapter installation.

Yes, copyAdapter is the solution.
I wanted just to add this point : the SMTP adapter cannot read attachment file. Il you have thos problem install fetchmail/procmail/ripmime it woks very well and allow to manage many mailboxes.

What is the best way to load multiple instances of a button into master index page?. I have looked a

I have successfully created an animated button that opens to reveal a quotation with a nested clickable link to the source. What I would like to do is have several of these with different quotes inside them, scattered on the page. I have looked at the composition loader available via Edge Commons, and it seems that would require some sort of Edge animate Stage 'frame' to load the instances into? Is there any way to place them directly into the master page - as div elements...?
The outer of the buttons is the same, on hover they open partialy on click fully, to reveal their particular text - which I thought about loading it at runtime with json, or maybe handlebars...?
I would also like to make the buttons only take the necessary space. ie. before they expand they are only buttons. ( I have set the stage to hidden but it still takes up space). To acheive this, I think perhaps I will have to target the inner components css, and set them as display:none until the button is hovered over, then set :hover and :active pseudo classes inside edge. Is this feasible?
Thanks in advance for any ideas/suggestions...

Hello, Thanks for your helpful input. Based on that, and the tutorial 'http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-edge-animate-cc/ingesting-external-data-dc/' - I have written code to drive my button's behaviour. (copied below...)
var textArray =new Array();
var currentHead = 0;
var currentText = 0;
var currentFoot = 0;
var s = sym.getSymbol("textContainer");
sym.$("textContainer")$.("text").html("");
var sh = sym.getSymbol("headContainer");
sym.$("headContainer")$.("head").html("");
var sf = sym.getSymbol("footContainer");
sym.$("footContainer")$.("footer").html("");
$.getJSON("assets/sources1.json", function(data){
          for (var i=0; i<data.length; i++){
                    textArray.push({"head":data[i].heading,
                              "text":data[i].text,
                              "footer":data[i].foot,
                              "link":data[i].link});
          sym.$("headContainer")$.("head").html(textArray[currentHead]).heading;
          sym.$("textContainer")$.("text").html(textArray[currentText]).text;
          sym.$("footContainer")$.("foot").html(textArray[currentFoot]).foot;
          sym.$("footContainer")$.("link").html(textArray[currentLink]).link;
But there is an error I don't understand at line 7...
Also - as you can see, at present I have several symbols in parallel. Would I be better off nesting the text containers inside the outer button container? and would I be better off creating styled mini- pages of text data, and then loading them - instead of loading them as symbols? I have had to create seperate symbols because I cannot adequately stle the text - so some is bold, some is italic etc. within one text field. Or can I? I guess I could nest several text fields inside one symbol...?
I remain unsure how to load the finished animation button instances. In your example you were still loading into an animation But from yor example, I guess I would need to place all my examples inside an outer edge composition... but then I think positioning them accurately with css, making adjustments etc. will be fairly tricky. Is there any way to place multiple instances directly into divs in index.html? Could I simply repeat the class...? I may be answering my own questions here.

Multiple instances of firefox running cannot kill in task manager "Access denied"

There's no issue with starting a new instance after closing one, the "firefox is already running" error is not occurring (ok maybe once or twice a month, but it's not related to this problem, as my problem happens all the time.)
Apparently when closing a ff window it never fully stops. My computer slows down because of it and these multiple instances of firefox show up in Task Manager. When I try to kill the extra processes it just goes "BANG" and the "access denied" error dialog box appears. They are all running under my user account, and in CPU some are just 10 or 25 and some are in the hundreds and some are over a million. what the heck is going on?
I'm running Windows 7 64 bit and ff 23.0 but this has been happening since about ff 15 (?)

When closing Firefox completely, it is important to close it using the <i>Exit</i> button, located inside of the Firefox/File menu.
Another cause to this problem could be a Firefox preloader. Do you have any programs that will load Firefox automatically? They are supposed to improve start time.
You can also '''try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* Open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
I hope that one of my solutions helps to fix your problem. Please report back with updates soon.
<b>NOTE: </b>You are using an outdated version of Firefox. This can cause security and functionality issue. Please update to the most recent version as soon as possible.

Having trouble running multiple instances of Firefox in XenDesktop 7.1

We recently upgraded our Citrix environment to XenDesktop 7.1. We published Firefox, but only one user at a time can have the program open. When we try to run multiple sessions, we get this error message "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system."
We've had it published in previous Citrix environments with no problems. How do we need to configure Firefox in XenDesktop so that multiple users can run the program at the same time? Thanks.

I do not understand virtualisation.
I can however say that ordinarily Firefox needs each user to have a separate profile and for Firefox to open simultaneous multiple instances with separate profiles the ''-no-remote'' argument needs to be used.

Multiple instances of explorer.exe running in task manager

I got a dropper trojan virus on my computer that microsoft security essencials do not recognized but after running "superantispyware" antivirus I got discover it and delete it. After that, I still could find the infected files in my
administrator folders as .temp files and I just erased them. After that my computer started crashing and runing several instances of explorer.exe in the task manager with different memory values, some of them ascending to 350,000. I have set up my computer
to run just the basic services, I have tried windows in safe mode, ran other antivirus programs but still it is performing the same. As far as I have noticed other unusual process present are host.dll, dllhost.exe, and logonUI.exe. Any idea about it? Thanks
in advance for your help.

I have the same issue. It started about a month ago when I was filling out a form online and had to quit and close the window. My system got very buggy (can't remember details), flashing, then really slow. Found a bunch of explorer.exe instances
in Task Manager. Ran Security Essentials and several other anti-viruses, nothing found.
Running Win7 Pro, sp1, 64-bit, CoreI5, 4Gb Ram
Restored system to a previous version, didn't work
Restored last system image, didn't work
Used System Repair Disk - ran Memory Diagnostic. Said it would give me report after reboot. Never saw a report after reboot. But only one instance of explorer.exe in task manager at that point. Took disk out, rebooted normally. After
20 minutes or so, the multiple instances were back.
Used Repair Disk again, ran Memory Diagnostic. Again, no report after reboot (leaving disk in machine both times), but only one instance running again.
Did this a few times with the same result, so now leaving disk in system and always boot from it.
Ran Security Essentials again, found that rovnix virus, removed, ran again, found it again.
Ran search for instances and found many. Here's an example:
C:\Windows\explorer.exe
C:\Windows\winsxs\wow64_microsoft-windows-explorer_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7601.17567_none_b9fc4815c4e292b5
C:\Windows\winsxs\amd64_microsoft-windows-explorer_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7601.21669_none_b0333b22a99da332
C:\Windows\winsxs\wow64_microsoft-windows-explorer_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7601.21669_none_ba87e574ddfe652d
C:\Windows\winsxs\amd64_microsoft-windows-explorer_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7601.17567_none_afa79dc39081d0ba
C:\Windows\SysWOW64
When I check properties on the now single one on Task Manager, this is what it shows:
C:\Windows\winsxs\amd64_microsoft-windows-explorer_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7601.17567_none_afa79dc39081d0ba\explorer.exe
C:\Windows\explorer.exe
I was going to reinstall entire system, but was from an Anytime Upgrade which now says it's invalid. Much more to story on that (calls to MS support, etc.).

Multiple instances of Internet Explorer in task manager using 100,000 KB+ memory

Hi! I recently got a virus on my computer that causes multiple instances of explorer.exe and iexplorer.exe to appear in my processes tab of task manager. Over the course of about a minute, the memory usage of each begins to climb rapidly until all of my
memory is being used by these. These do not appear in my applications, nor do they actually open up an internet explorer window. When I end task on them, another one appears about a minute later to take its place and do the same thing again. Additionally,
when I click shut down to turn my computer off, various advertisements flash on my screen for a few seconds before the computer begins to shut down. When the computer is started up, a window appears for a split second that contains only blackness. I have never
seen this window appear before the virus was obtained. When I end task on all my explorer.exe and iexplorer.exe applications at the same time, my desktop vanishes, but it also stops those applications from reappearing. This virus has caused my computer
to run unbearably slow. I have tried Spybot S&D, Exterminateit, AVG, Roadkill, and other methods and nothing seems to detect this or cure it. I am not that good with computers, but I am dying for help on the matter! If you can assist, please let me know
what I can do with detailed instructions for my sake! Thank you!!!!!!

See and follow Andy's excellent advices.
In addition...
See: "How to
Reset Internet Explorer settings".
If the issue persists...
1. Please download and run the
Microsoft Safety Scanner tool (freeware).
2. Reboot your PC.
3. Please download and update Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Free
4. Reboot Windows in
Safe Mode and run a Full Scan with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.
5. Download and Run AdwCleaner (Freeware)
6. Reboot and Test.
Best of Luck,

How do I prevent a user from opening multiple instances on the same computer?

On the site oldnavyweekly.com there is a .swf that prevents users from opening multiple instances of the site at the same time on the same computer. If you open the site, and try to open it a second time in another window, it won't load. You can't open the site again until the first window is closed. How did they implement this?
From my analysis it is NOT:
1. Cookies - The block still takes place if you try opening it in IE and also try opening it in Firefox simultaneously.
2. Flash Cookies - The block still takes place if I disable flash cookies.
3. IP Based Block - You are not blocked if you open the site on two separate computers with the same outbound IP address. From my analysis, their server does not assist in the block at all.
It seems as if their .swf is creating some kind of global system-wide object that can be detected in other instances of the application on the same machine. How did they implement this?
Thanks!

you're welcome.
actually, unless you take an extra step, the first opened swf will close. if you want the 2nd to close, the initial receiving lc will send a message to sender that causes the sender to close.

Multiple instances of ECM 11g on one server

I've read a few posts about installing multiple instances of ECM 11g on one server, but I have a few questions. My current set up is
A single Windows 2008 Server R2 server
8 gb RAM
Weblogic 10.3.5
1 install of ECM 11g in the base_domain
Database is Oracle 11.2
I want to add another instance of ECM to this server, but when I went to run the RCU, I was not allowed to use the same prefix for my tablespaces. Is this expected? I'm fine with using a different prefix, I just was surprised to see that I couldn't use the same prefix on this install since I was using a completely different database.
Assuming I use a different prefix... do I just add a new domain for this additional ECM instance? Is there anything else I need to know?
Thank you

I went to run the RCU, I was not allowed to use the same prefix for my tablespaces. Is this expected?Yes. It will create tables with the same name visible for a different database user (thus, the prefix).
do I just add a new domain for this additional ECM instance? Is there anything else I need to know?Actually, I think you can even install more instances to the same domain (this is more a question to Weblogic Server admins - I think there's been some posts recently on this topic). What definitely must be unique, is the port number. If you are OK with using different port numbers for your instances, it should be relatively easy. If you need the same port (e.g. 80 because of proxy limits), there are some ways how to redirect - it that case, two domains might be required.

Multiple instance of same mac on network

Hello,
Running OS X Yosemite, I've noticed multiple instances of the same mac appearing on my home network. Has anyone else encountered this and know of a way to fix it? Currently, I have to try more than one instance before I find the "correct" icon to connect.

10.10.1, when I posted. Last night I installed 10.10.2. It got hung up on the "Restarting..." (w/App Store logo) screen for over 2 hrs, so I let it run overnight. It was still stuck in the morning so I just shut it down. After restarting, everything looks fine (cautiously optimistic)! There is only ONE instance on the network!! I read some tips in other forums and the simplest one I used, which wouldn't do more harm than good, was to turn off my air printer during the reboot. I am good for now and will repost if the problem returns. William Lloyd how long since you updated have you been multiple-instance-free?

How can I open multiple instances of the same version of FF?

I understand that if I have multiple profiles, I can run different versions of FF side-by-side (like 3.6 and 4).
However, what I'm interested in is how I can launch multiple instances of the same version of FF (4, for instance) using the same profile. In other words, I want to be able to double-click the desktop icon for FF, and open a new instance, and keep doing that as many times as I want. I don't want to have a different icon and profile for each instance (too much overhead to keep a dozen+ profiles in sync).
I can always launch one FF window instance, and then keep clicking ctrl+N to launch new instances from inside it, which they all share the same profile (as I want). So, basically, I want to be able to do that from my desktop icon, rather than by having to do it with the keyboard ctrl+N sequence.

But I don't understand why whatever Firefox does when you click ctrl+N can't also be done (with some sort of command-line switch) from a desktop icon?
In other words, I clearly can create many FF instances (even if they are the same FF.exe process) by doing ctrl+n a bunch of times. Why then can't this behavior be done from a desktop icon with some parameters?
As far as I know, FF is the only browser that doesn't directly allow multiple browser instances from desktop icons. IE, Chrome, Safari, Opera, etc... all let me launch a new instance (even if they are all single process and the instances are shared within the process).
