One e-mail address but using multiple servers

Hello all, I am hoping to get some expert help here and greatly appreciate anything you can give me. I have one e-mail address that I use for school, but have one outgoing server when I am specifically on the school's network and another outgoing server to use when I am on my network at home.
Is there a way to set up Mail to automatically use the appropriate outgoing server for each network? For example, can I set it up to automatically use my school's outgoing server when I am on the school's network and to use my home ISP server when I am on my home wireless network? Also, I do not know if it matters, but I use both a LAN and wireless networks while at school, depending on whether I am in my office or in a classroom.
One more thing, I also use coffee shops a lot, ones that have wifi. Is there a way to train Mail to use my school outgoing server's whenever I am using those networks?
P.S. When I was using my XP laptop, I had similar issues. I am just hoping that Mail is smarter than Outlook. Thanks!
A recent newbie to Mac and OS X who is loving it! Never going back!

Slack,
simple solution for that;
make two accounts in Mail / Preferences
in the description, name one home, the other work
email address canbe the same.
In the outgoing mail server settings, set one for home, the other for work
Each time you compose a new mail, you get a dropdown menu after Accounts that will let you choose which account you are sending from.
When your network preference is set to Automatic, it will pick up the wireless network at your current location. Instructions as above for new mails.
This will depend on your school network if it allows you to send from their smtp server when you are not actually connected to their network.

    For your other accounts, you can get an e-mail from gmail or yahoo or another free provider.

  • HT201342 Hello, I have an Apple-iCloud account and have used one e-Mail address with that account. I want to add another address for my wife. How do I do it? Thanks

    Hello, I have an Apple-iCloud account and have used one e-Mail address. I would like to add another address for my wife on same account. How do I do it?

    Hey there Raul,
    It sounds like you have an iCloud account, and want to create one for your wife using the same iCloud account. You can do this with an iCloud Alias, and this article will help you do that. Keep in mind that any and all purchases made with the alias will not be transferrable or merged with another account if she wants to have her own account down the road.

  • Can I have more than one e-mail address attached to my apple account?

    I can't seem to create different FaceTime accounts using different e-mail addresses but with 1 Apple account. My daughter's IPod is attached to my Apple account, but I want to use her e-mail address for her FaceTime app. Any thoughts?

    You create an @icloud.com address in the first place by signing into Settings>iCloud with your Apple ID and choosing an addres - you can only create an @icloud.com address, not @me.com.
    Then if you want further addresses on the same account you can add up to three 'email aliases' - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account. (In fact it's a good idea to give out alias addresses, rather than the main address, because if they attract spam you can easily change them.) (New aliases can only be @icloud.com ones; @me.com addresses cannot now be created.)
    You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account or move it to another account.

  • Can you have different accounts (meaning different passwords, different countries/store) with the same apple ID (only one e-mail address)?

    can you have different accounts (meaning different passwords, different countries/store) with the same apple ID (only one e-mail address)?

    thank you for your reply, it is not very fair from apple, since for not using your credit card, you need to create a new account and if you do not have multiple e-mail  working , you are stuck! thanks anyway

  • Can you share songs and apps but use multiple apple ID's?

    Can you share songs and apps but use multiple apple ID's?

    hmm, that's a trick one! what I would do is go to Messages>preferences>accounts and then select imessages and then select account details and then sign out. Then your wife will need to sign in with her apple id.
    hope this helps!!
    let me know if that works because I've never actually tried it.
    simply adding both of your accounts to be reached at will prove to be faulty because when you reply you can only reply with the one email address. And even if you switch caller id's it probably still won't work. So I think my method would be the easiest way to do that at this time. 

  • Mail does not work with ONLY ONE e-mail address

    I am using mail with 6 different e-mail addresses all using godaddy as my mail server. Some(4) are imap, some(2) are pop3.
    All of my e-mails work great except for 1 (which is imap). My iPhone and iPad as well as entourage all work for this e-mail address. It is only Mail that does nto work all the time.
    This is the frustrating part. It works some times, and not others. No rhyme or reason to it. When it is not working, the only way to make it work right away is to delete the account and re-install the account. Some times, it will just start working on it's own. The worst part, is whenever I bring it in to a genius to look at it, it starts working, and of course, they say nothing is wrong.
    Any thoughts on how to fix this???

    Okay, it works the same way for me. I'm not sure whether "open all" will come back in that case, where there's only one bookmark. Does it slow down your workflow a lot to middle-click on the bookmark itself instead of on the folder?

  • HT201363 I want to change rescue e-mail address but now i can't enter yahoo.co.kr site

    Hi. i'm korean. may be you know the YAHOO Korea e-mail service is done in korea country. and my rescue e-mail is ****. Please i want to change rescue e-mail address but now i can't enter yahoo.co.kr site. Please check quickly somebody use a my account card
    <Email Edited By Host>

    -If you established a rescue email address, there will be a link on the "Passwords & Security" page of id.apple.com.  Clicking the link will send the reset to your rescue email address (NOTE:  This is not the same address as your Apple ID email)
    -If there is no link on the page, then you didn't establish a rescue email address.  Contact AppleCare at 800.694.7466 (If you are in the US), and ask for account security.  You will need to answer some questions to verify your identity, AND you will need access to a computer to generate a temporary support pin.

  • More then one E-mail address per insurance provider

    Hello to you all,
    Does anyone have an Idea on how can I maintain more then one E-mail address per insurance provider?
    In Tcode NG07/8/9 I am able to have only one which is not enough,
    I would expect to have a multiple selection on that field like in customer master record Tcode FD01/2/3.
    Regards,
    Yoav

    Dear Yoav,
    In the Tcode NG07 only one mail id is given because from here you can send the files directly on clicking the mail icon. Because when you click on mail icon(adjacent to box)  it shows whom you are sending the data, here you can also mark CC & BCC to the different users.
    In Customer you are not mailing directly. If you have any query you can reply back.
    Regards
    Piyush

  • I have one e-mail address that constantly hard bounces

    I have one e-mail address for a client that constantly returns an error of
    "An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: <[email protected]> previously hard-bounced. Please check the message recipient "clients email address" and try again"
    I also look after the mail server for this user name and I have tried deleting the account and re entering but it makes no difference. Other e-mail clients donut seem to have this problem.
    Any ideas?
    g

    A soft bounce may mean that the mailbox if full., but a 550 error har bounce code sent from the server usually describes when the email address does not exist or is otherwise permanently not available.
    Perhaps due to a typo in the email address or that email address is no longer valid.
    Or maybe there have been several soft bounces that converted to a hard bounce.
    Could the server be blocking the sender email address (possibly as part of a spam defence system), so the email is not delivered to recipient if sent from that particular email address.
