Outlook Sync & Multiple E-Mail Accounts

I'm considering buying the new iPhone 3G in the next couple of months, and I had these questions (and I'm posting them here because I'm sure if the current iPhone can handle these issues, the new one will be able to as well):
1. Most posts I've read state that the iPhone can sync with Microsoft Outlook on Windows XP. Is this a relatively easy sync, or (like most Windows things, it seems), do you need to some magic "work-around" to get it to work? Also, does it sync Calendar events and Contacts easily?
2. I have both a personal e-mail and a work e-mail that I would like the iPhone to handle, and my work e-mail is processed through a Microsoft Exchange Server. Does the current iPhone support this or will the new one be able to? I haven't been able to find a conclusive answer on this.
Thanks for any help or experience anyone can lend on here!

1) Its a very simple process that works right out of the box for most people.
2) The current iPhone supports Exchange via IMAP, so the server would have to have IMAP access enabled. The 3G iPhone will support direct Exchange access via ActiveSync.

Setting up multiple e-mail accounts

I have iBook G4 using OS X. I've had it for over a year, but I've never set up multiple e-mail accounts, but now my kids are asking for their own e-mail addresses. There must be directions on how to do this somewhere, but I can't seem to find it. Any help in steering me in the right directions would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Karen.
You can create multiple email accounts with Mail with or without the same email account provider.
With the same provider is possible only if each account has its own user name.
You can create/access multiple email accounts that share the same incoming mail server and the same password as long as each account has its own user name.
An account's user name is usually the portion of the email address in front of the @ sign only but with some providers it is the entire email address.
Multiple email addresses with the same provider that share the same user name, incoming mail server and password as a primary email account are what is called an alias or aliases.
An alias email address to a primary account/address can be accessed with Mail under the primary account but not as a separate account with Mail.
If I haven't completely confused you, let me know.
I agree with Matt and strongly suggest/recommend that you don't allow your kids (regardless their age) or anyone else regular access to your Mac under your computer login admin account.

Problems with multiple e-mail accounts on Droid 2 & also can't put phone into Silent mode

I just received my Droid 2 and having a problems with having multiple e-mail accounts.
My original droid worked fine with all of this.
I have 2 different personal e-mail accounts setup.
When I click e-mail, it just defaults to the default e-mail address and I have no way of switching accounts. I have to change the default e-mail account in order to view the other account.
Along with having a shortcut on the home page to each e-mail account, it always just goes to the default one and no way of adding a shortcut to both.
When I did this on the original droid, i could choose which e-mail account I wanted a shortcut for and could obviously have both on the home screen.
I also have found no way to NAME the accounts, ex. Comcast & Work.
That way I could distinguish the difference between the 2 on my home screen even if I could get a shortcut to both.
not sure how this could be overlooked but I sure dont think there is a way to make this happen.
Also, what is with 2.2 System and not allowing you to put it in silent mode?
I updated my original Droid to 2.2 and could no longer make it silent with the volume button on side or going into the sound settings and changing it to silent, it would always stay on vibrate.
And now it does the same thing with Droid 2. I cant make it silent at all.
Any ideas on either issue

ok I got the silent problem fixed.
The update changed vibrate to be always, even when on Silent mode.
The e-mail problem however is stll an issue and I realy hope they release an update to fix this.
I'm sure I'm not the only one with 2 e-mail accounts on their droid.
I never had an original Droid, so I can;t compare to what was on that. For me, I am using the "Messaging" app - it seems to be set up for multiple e-mail accounts better than the email app. Messaging is the one recommended by the manufacturer - give that a try.

I would like to open multiple e-mail accounts for students, with limited in-school use. Are there anyways I can do this?

I am a teacher in an outdated computer lab (my own problem). We use Windows 2000 and I'm thinking of FireFox 3.6. We are routed to the internet through a single server. I would like to be able to open multiple e-mail accounts through GMail or another free service, but I have been told that I will experience problems due to security protections. Does the multiFox extension allow me to do this?

Unless you plan to have multiple email accounts open in different tabs at the same time, there is no need for Multifox. If each user has their own [[profiles|profile]], then the Multifox extension will not be required. If you want to open multiple email accounts at the same time in one instance of Firefox then you will need Multifox.

Checking multiple e-mail accounts with new Mail app?

Is it possible to check multiple e-mail accounts using the new Mail application?
I am wondering if I could use it for both a business e-mail account and a personal e-mail account or if I would have to pick only one to use.

Haha!
Well, I plan on waiting until the SDK is released before buying any software.
Since it appears that the system updates included in the App Pack will be required to use any software released thereafter I am fairly confident that at least that part of the App Pack will eventually be free.

HT4898 How can I continue sync my various Mail Accounts when I move to iCloud?

How can I continue sync my various Mail Accounts when I move to iCloud?

I wasn't aware that you could sync other mail accounts with MobileMe, other than their settings. If you are referring to settings, then they should already be set up on your mobile device, any new accounts would need to be added manually.
POP accounts will continue to receive and send e-mail but will not sync (so for example if you delete an e-mail on one device it won't be deleted on the other), IMAP/exchange accounts will continue to function as they always have.

Outlook Sync - Multiple Calendar Problem

(I am not sure whether this belongs in this Forum or would be more appropriately directed to my Device (Curve 8900) forum or Desktop Software. Please advise or re-direct if that is the case.)
I am having a sync issue with Outlook, and it revolves around the issue of having multiple calendars on the Device, each of which is associated with an e-mail address. I understand this has been a relatively common question; however, although I admittedly may be looking in the wrong place, I have yet to come across a comprehensive solution.
I understand how to switch the "default" e-mail associated with scheduling items on the calendar, and I believe I'm correct in thinking that this is what syncs with Outlook. I've noticed that when I try switching the default, Outlook wants to delete all other appointments which are NOT associated with that device calendar.
So I guess my specific questions are:
1) Is there a way to have Outlook sync with ALL calendars on the device, i.e. not just the default? It's easy enough to make all appointments from here on out with a single account & have that be the one that syncs; however, it doesn't seem possible to do that without having Outlook want to delete all other appointments.
2) Is there a way to change the associated email/calendar for events on the Device? When I open an event, I can see which email/calendar it is but I don't know how to *change* it -- I only seem to have a choice when scheduling new events.
If either of these was an option, I think that would solve my problem -- I could either go through the device & convert everything to the default email/calendar & everything would be there upon sync, OR Outlook would just pick up everything from all calendars when I sync.
I don't understand why it's so complicated to have everything in one place!
Thanks in advance to those willing to share their wisdom & advice in this matter.

Syncing OS X Mail Accounts with iCloud

Hi folks!
I am thinking about finally updating my OS X to Mountain Lion... sad fact is I am still on Snow Leopard. Well it's not sad... I have not felt the need to update it, been busy with work and didn't want to rock the boat sorta speak, everything currently is working to my expectations.
I am wondering about iCloud - I currently use iCloud on my iPhone only... not on my Mac (as of course it is Snow Leopard). I am wondering, can iCloud back up mail accounts like the good ole MobileMe did? I used to subscribe to MobileMe and one of the features I loved was that I could put all my OS X Mail Account settings into the 'cloud' and restore them at any time. Is that possible now with iCloud?
Another idea I had... as I am not using iCloud at the moment on my Mac, I use iTunes to sync my mail accounts to my iPhone 4 - do you think it is possible to send those account settings from my iPhone to iCloud, and then back down into my MacBook once I have completed the upgrade to Mountain Lion? Better than having to setup multiple email address again ;-)
Cheers!

With Snow Leopard you can access your iCloud email by setting Mail up manually:
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard
You may be able to sync your calendars to iCloud by means of an unsupported hack, and there is a convoluted hack which has been reported as working for Address Book (and as not working by others - I've not tried it), but iCloud's other facilities will not work. This page outlines the situation when you migrate to iCloud, including a link to the calendar hack:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudSL.html
If you upgrade your Mac to Mountain Lion you will be able to access iCloud fully and the data which is already on there will sync to your Mac: you will need to be careful about possible duplicates. You should be asked which set of data should be the master.

How do I add Outlook Web Access to mail accounts on my iPod?

Any help is appreciated...thanks!

Any way to sync my 10 MAIL accounts across macs and on iDevices? Thanks in advance for you help

Dear friends,
over 21 years of fumbling with mac (PowerMac 7100/66) I have rarely bothered to get tips but I cannot seem to find, though I cannot believe this, a way to sync MAIL ACCOUNTS (and the keychain too ... but that is secondary) across Macs and iDevices.
As I piled up email accounts I am in a position, am sure not entirely unknown to some of you fellow Macusers, to have about 15 email accounts that more or less frequently I need to monitor. As things stand, with the killing of the otherwise pretty bland MobileMe, I am forced to enter those account for every new user or hard-drive or iDevice I have while.
I think that is ridiculously cumbersome and am convinced that there must be a third-party or a mean to have the mail accounts synced across different Macs, partitions and/or iDevices using Lion and iCloud.
Can any kind soul spare a valid tip to save me from the boredom of serial e-mail settings?
Thank you very much in advance for the help you will provide.
Sincerely,
FrankieC

"Did you make the .psd file with a transparent background (checkerboard) in Photoshop? And when you placed it in AI did you choose the top option Convert Photoshop Layers to Objects?"
Yep, and it still didn't work.
But I figured what I did wrong: I was selecting both the text and the heart, and then I was doing the whole Object>Wrap Text>Make thing, as opposed to just selecting the heart and doing it. Once I did it, I moved the heart around on top of the text, and it "made room" for the pic, wrapping itself around the heart.
Thanks so much, and thanks A MILLION for being so patient.
Jeez, when can I get some textbook to learn all the intricacies of Illustrator?

How can I sync multiple iTunes account on one

I know everyone would love for this to be an ability. Currently merging all your accounts into one is not something that is possible. I hope this answers your question.

Syncing stuck on mail accounts

Suddenly - all worked great before - my syncing has stuck on mail accounts. I tried "replace information" for the mail accounts and I restored the software (installed 1.1.1) but the problem started in 1.0.2.
What now?
thanks,
Don

I'm having a similar problem. It takes hours for my new iPhone to sync. But when I removed mail accounts from my sync profile, it only took minutes. My question is this: is it necessary to sync my mail accounts each time I sync my iPhone? I don't quite understand what syncing does for my mail accounts.

ITunes - iPhone Sync Error with Mail Accounts

Whenever I sync my iPhone with iTunes I get the error message, "iTunes could not sync mail accounts to the iPhone 'Henry's iPhone" because an error occurred remapping record identifiers./Try syncing your iPhone again. If the problem persists, replace the mail accounts on the iPhone from the info tab in the iPhone preferences."
If I uncheck the mail accounts sync option in the info tab, the problem goes away, but returns when I recheck the option.
What does this error message mean? More to the point, how, precisely do I remedy the situation?

Easiest to just leave mail account syncing off. FYI, that setting does not sync emails, it only syncs the account settings. If email is working on your phone, there's no need to sync the settings.

Sync stuck at syncing "calendars" and "mail accounts..." How can I get past it?

It just started happening like two days ago when I updated to 6.1.3. I could've sworn that I already had it, but something updated a few days ago... Anyways, I unchecked "Calendars" and it got stuck and "mail accounts," so I guess it's something to do w/ Outlook or my Google Accounts. I don't know. Help??

I did not put the OS info in my question because I am not sure what I have. I upgraded to Lion so that I could use the cloud between my devices, however I do not know the number.
Apple menu item->About this Mac and the version is listed there. Click on that and get the build number. Click again and get the machine's serial number.
I am stuck on the white screen. Any other advice?
Start with a google search for white screen mac. This one might do the trick: http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/apple-desktops/138137-imac-wont-get-passed-whit e-screen.html
