Multiple POP accounts: Can I set up separate mail windows

New mac user. I was able to switch identities using Outlook Express on my PC so that multiple users' mail were not downloaded when one user logged on. My desire is to not see other people's email, nor they mine. Is there a way to accomplish this?
lmac Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Instead of switching identities in Mail, you do it at the OS X level i.e. create multiple accounts on your computer and use Fast User Switching. Each user of your computer then has their own separate environment for all applications including Mail.
I hope that helps.

Pop accounts don't show up in mail window

I have one email account that is IMAP and two Pop accounts. The IMAP shows up in the email window but the POPs don't. All showed up before today and no changes have been made. How do i get the POP accounts to show up again?

10.7 or greater, reboot holding CMD+r keys & use Reset Password from there after Repairing Drive with Disk Utility.

My wife and I share the iPad. Can we set up separate accounts to log in (like on our Mac)?

My wife and I share the iPad. Can we set up separate accounts to log in (like on our Mac)?

Good question, but I'm 99.9% certain the answer is "no". Here are some considerations:
Think of the heritage of iOS. It really started with iPhones and maybe iPods. These devices cost a whole lot less than a Mac. They are generally not thought of as shared (with exceptions, of course, as is true for you).
Think of the backup process. i-devices typically sync with one iTunes on one computer. How would an i-device with multiple users enstantiate this?
Anyway, all this is to say I'm convinced you cannot do what you're inquiring about.

HT5035 If i have 2 children on my apple account, can i set up sub accounts that will keep itune card balances separate?

I have 2 children on my itunes account. can you set up sub accounts so itunes cards blaances remain seperate.

- You can't create subaccounts.
- You can create new account(s). The media on the iPod is still usable. It does create more work when updating apps since yo have to sign into the account that purchased them to update them. If you have apps purchased from more than one account that need update you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased with one account.
- To change accounts for purchasing go to Settings> Store (or Settings.iTunes and App store depending upon the iOS) and sign out and sign in with different account.

Multiple POP accounts in Safari

I want to switch to Safari as my mail program but I have multiple POP accounts.
Each email has its own password. How can I get them all onto Safari?
It keeps telling me a already have a POP account when I try to enter another email address.
Thanks.

Hi Stacey,
I have multiple POP accounts in Apple's Mail program and each one works fine. So I'm not quite sure what is happening when you enter additional data for a new account.
To create a new account you select the + sign in the accounts tab in Mail's preferences. Once you do this, it will display a blank sheet for you to fill in your data for the next account. The data for the new account should be unique and match the account information set up with your ISP. The e-mail address cannot be duplicated. In other words, you can't have the same e-mail address for multiple accounts, even if the password is different.

Can i set up separate bookmarks in safari for each iMac user

can i set up separate bookmarks in safari for each iMac user???

Searched the support community to unearth this (bit aged, but unanswered)question. Me too face the same problem. SAFARI BOOKMARKS show up the same under all user accounts. Searched all possible setting options but no obvious setting options found (at least by me) to keep them seperate for different users. Can anyone help?

Mail hang when getting email from multiple POP accounts

I'm posting this issue again.
Mail hangs while getting new mail from multiple POP accounts almost every time. When it does, only Force Quit can quit it.
The following DID NOT fix the hang:
- Reconstructing all mail boxes
- Exporting, deleting and reimporting all mail boxes
- Disabling all rules
- Deleting anti-spam history
- Deleting all emails from all mail boxes
Testing each POP account individually while putty the other two offline works fine.
I also noticed that sometimes the new mail counter in Inbox displays 2-4 new messages while there is no new ones. Switching boxes/folders and back to Inbox fixes it.
The POP accounts are:
One plain text POP
One secure POP
One GMail POP
Can anyone help?

You’re welcome.
I did try to clear the junk mail preferences
The Junk Mail preferences cannot be “cleared”. What do you mean?
it crashes almost every single time.
It doesn’t crash (i.e. quit unexpectedly). It freezes (i.e. becomes unresponsive), right?
I transfered my data to a Mac Mini. I had the same exact problem on it too!
so it seems it has nothing to do with the OS plugins or the setup I have.
Well, that would depend on what exactly does “I transfered my data” mean...
Try first disabling all the rules in Preferences > Rules AND the junk filter in Preferences > Junk Mail. If the problem persists, proceed as follows.
Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
After having fixed all the filesystem issues, if any, and ensuring that there’s enough space available on the startup disk (a few GB, plus the space needed to make a backup copy of the Mail folder), try this:
1. Quit Mail if it’s running.
2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/. Make a backup copy of this folder, just in case something goes wrong, e.g. by dragging it to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down. This is where all your mail is locally stored.
3. Locate Envelope Index and move it to the Trash. If you see any other “Envelope Index”-named file there, delete it as well.
4. Move any “IMAP-”, “Mac-”, or “Exchange-” account folders to the Trash. Note that you can do this with IMAP-type accounts because they store mail on the server and Mail can easily re-create them. DON’T trash any “POP-” account folders, as that would cause all the mail stored there to be lost.
5. Open Mail. It will tell you that your mail needs to be “imported”. Click Continue and Mail will proceed to re-create Envelope Index — Mail says it’s “importing”, but it just re-creates the index if the mailboxes are already in Mail 2.x format.
6. As a side effect of having removed the IMAP account folders, those accounts may be in an “offline” state now. Do Mailbox > Go Online to bring them back online.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. That is, ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder, i.e. /Users/username/Library.

Problems with POP account passwords after setting up iPhone

I bought and installed an iPhone yesterday.
I run a .mac and 5 POP email accounts. All were set up smoothly and work perfectly on the iPhone.
Email client is Apple Mail.
Since then the Apple Mail client is having difficulty retrieving mail. For all the POP accounts I am getting a password challenge response dialogue box asking for password.
I have tried re-entering them all incase the Keychain change to allow the iPhone access had corrupted them, but no difference.
If I can press Cancel on the dialogue box the account is set to offline by the Mail client. If however I persist with the Get Mail it will retrieve mail successfully without challenging password. I would say 8 times out of 10 it will challenge, the other 2 times it will retrieve normally.
Has anybody got suggestions/experience of this behaviour?
Thanks in advance
Damon

The incoming mail server for most POP accounts don't like or support two email clients on the same computer or on different devices accessing the incoming mail server at the same time.
I have a business POP account that I access with the Mail.app on my Mac and with the iPhone's email client and the account will eventually go offline with the Mail.app when using the iPhone to access the account at the same time.
This isn't an issue with an IMAP account and a .Mac type account with the Mail.app is really an IMAP account and behaves in the same way.

I have an Icloud account, can I set up Itunes on my Samsung S4 cell phone?

On your S4 you can set up your iCloud email account with these settings: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864, and sync your iCloud contacts and calendars using SmoothSync for Cloud Contacts and SmoothSync for Cloud Calendars, but that's all. You can't access iTunes.

TS4020 family with multiple apple accounts, can we create a secondary "family" account?

family with multiple apple accounts, can we create a secondary "family" account?

You can perfectly well create a new separwate iCloud account: for this you will need to create a new Apple ID for which you will need a non-Apple email address you haven't used elsewhere for iCloud.
That done, everyone can sign into it in System Preferences (or Settings)>Mail, Contacts & Calendars and enable the various data types in the checklist there. This is a 'secondary account': its email, Contacts and Calendars will appear alongside those in the existing 'primary account' but you don't get 'push' email (it's checked periodically) and it cannot use PhotoStream.
Note that if you've been using the same device to create other accounts, there is a limit of three iCloud accounts which can be created by any one device, so if that's been reached you would have to use another device: once done the first device can sign into it perfectly well.

I can't set shortcut for „Application windows"

System Preferences → Exposé & Spaces → Exposé
I can’t set shortcut for „Application windows” — first column with Fn key is OK, but the second column with mouse button doesn’t work. If I set „secondary mouse button” for „application windows”, it doesn’t work. But if I set „secondary mouse button” to „All windows”, it works! All mouse shortcuts for „All windows” or „Show desktop” work, but no mouse shortcut for „Application windows” work . The same with „Mouse button 3” and other buttons.
Can you help me, please?

Do you see the iTunes Library icon in the window? Click on it and the use the scroll bar to get to the tracks you want.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.
