Receive from multiple accounts?

Can I configure Mail to receive email from my Gmail and RoadRunner accounts? As it is now, I check email from each account separately.

Can I configure Mail to receive email from my Gmail
and RoadRunner accounts?
Not sure whether this is what you are asking, but to use mail to check these accounts they have to offer POP access; you need the addresses of the POP and SMTP (for sending) servers, and you enter these and your username and password in the appropriate fields in Mail Preferences>Accounts. I don't know whether these accounts offer POP - some web-based services don't.
As it is now, I check email
from each account separately.
If your question is 'can Mail check from more than one account', then yes: set up the accounts in Preferences>Accounts, then go to the 'Advanced' pane and make sure that 'Enable this account' and 'Include when automatically checking for new mail' are checked.

Receiving Email from Multiple Accounts?

Is there some way of receiving email from multiple accounts in one centralized account? It was automatic with my Blackberry. Having to switch back and forth between accounts is a pain, and potentially dangerous if driving. If the iPhone email app can't do it, is there a third-party app that can?
Thanks.

No, there's not. Email accounts are kept separate on the iPhone.
Having to switch back and forth between accounts is a pain, and potentially dangerous if driving.
As opposed to just reading your email all accumulated into one inbox while driving - that's perfectly safe, right?? I'm sure not having to switch from one email account to another while driving frees up your attention for more important things, such as reading the newspaper or doing a crossword puzzle.

Filter mail from multiple accounts

Spam has become a real issue for me, and I get a lot of spam messages which get through both the spam assassin filter from my host and get through the "intelligent" filtering in mac mail. However, some of these messages come in identical or nearly identical either multiple times, or into multiple accounts. So, what I want is a filter (or script) which can detect that there are identical messages which were received on multiple accounts. I never receive valid emails on multiple accounts - so detecting identical subject and/or sender and then automatically junking both copies of the message would cut 20-40% of the spam which is currently getting through filters. Is there a way to do this?

If all email accounts are provided by the same provider, are the 4 additional accounts alias accounts with the provider?
An alias account to a primary account shares the same user name and password in addition to the same incoming mail server as the primary account.
If each of the 4 additional email accounts require and have a different user name, you cannot create the additional accounts as alias accounts to or with the primary account with the Mail.app or with any email client.
When creating separate accounts in Mail, each account has its own Inbox, Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk mailbox (when Junk Mail is set to automatic) but you can view received messages by all accounts by selecting Inbox in the mailboxes drawer. When opening Inbox in the mailboxes drawer revealing the account named Inbox mailbox for each account, selecting an account named Inbox mailbox reveals messages received by that account only in the message list. When selecting Inbox in the mailboxes drawer reveals a blended Inbox mailbox for all accounts and the same applies to Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk in the mailboxes drawer.

Will apps from multiple accounts sync on one device

When I first started using iTunes I was too young to have an iTunes account so I used my mums to make purchases to sync to my iPad via the computer. A few years later I had created my own account when I got my laptop mainly to purchase movies to watch and music for my iPod however the email I used I no longer use as it keeps getting spammed.
I recently purchased a new iPad via the apple store(waiting for delivery) which I made a new apple account for what I am wondering is that as I did all of my app syncs for my old iPad via my computer all my apps are on my iTunes on my laptop however I was wondering if I were able to sync up my apps, music and new apps to my new device via my laptop without issue as they have come from multiple accounts.

As long as there are five or fewer Apple IDs involved, you won't have a problem syncing the content. Note that the applications can only be updated from the Apple ID used to download them, and this may also apply to in-app purchases.

Can I access music from multiple accounts on one cpu?

Can I access music from multiple accounts on one cpu

Here's one option: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12366
But frankly you'd be better off creating unique user accounts on the computer and having seperate iTunes libraries for each user as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1495

Access Canon MX860 from multiple accounts on iMac over WiFi

I bought a Canon PIXMA MX860 yesterday and set it up using my account on our iMac running 10.5.6. The printer is connected over WiFi. I can print and scan from my account.
When I try to print from another account on the iMac (my wife as an account and we have a guest account) the printer queue says "Printer is currently off-line". I sent a message to Canon, they told me to set permissions for "Everyone" to Read & Write on the Library folder. I tried this for:
/Macintosh HD/Library/Printers/Canon
and all enclosed items. Still doesn't work.
Has anyone else set up the MX860 to print from multiple accounts on a computer? Did you have to do anything beyond the procedure specified by Canon?
Thanks!
Matt

Hello Matt,
I don't understand why Canon support would have got you to change permissions on the Canon folder. This is not normally required.
I have the MP980 connected via wireless, and I can print to it from my Admin account and a standard account I made up just to check. What account type do you have set for the missus?
I also would have thought that the printer off-line message would have had more to do with her account not being able to access the network connection, rather than not being able to access the core Printers folder.
If using her account, you open the Print Queue and select the Utility icon, and then set the Canon IJ Printer Utility to network, does the MX860 display? And if you select it, can you peform any of the Maintenance functions?
Also, if you connect the MX860 directly to the Mac via USB, are you able to print to it using her account?

Mail - Retrieveing Mail from multiple accounts

I have multiple e-mail accounts, one for each family member (1 primary plus 4 for my kids) and would like to retrieve all e-mails to the same in-box (to keep track of my kids messages). Mail Help instructed to create aliases for my primary e-mail account. I went to Mail>Preferences>Account Information>E-Mail Address and listed the e-mail addresses separated by commas. After saving, then restarting my iBook, Mail will still only retrieve messages from the primary account, not any aliases. Where did I go wrong? Thanks.
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4)

If all email accounts are provided by the same provider, are the 4 additional accounts alias accounts with the provider?
An alias account to a primary account shares the same user name and password in addition to the same incoming mail server as the primary account.

Checking email from multiple accounts (yahoo, excite, lycos, aol...)

Hello,
Does anybody know any software that checks multiple accounts like yahoo, excite, aol, etc.???
Thanks.

You get e-mails just fine, but do you have rights to log into the e-mail server at myfirstandlastname.com? If you can do that (check with your hosting ISP to find out if they will let you), then you can just set up the iPhone to use that e-mail server to send your mail. It's possible to set up an iPhone IMAP account to get mail from gmail, but use a separate non-gmail SMTP server to send outgoing mail, all within the same iPhone e-mail account.
If you can get this working, then you won't need to mess with reply-to headers. Your e-mail will not only look like it got sent from myfirstandlastname.com -- it actually WILL be sent from there and all replies will automatically go there and then be forwarded as usual to your ATT/Yahoo address. No one will know that ATT/Yahoo is involved, and both your sent and received e-mail will show up in the same single e-mail account on the iPhone.
I do this all the time with my e-mail. My account is really at gmail, but the e-mail address says it came from mycollege.edu. My old college offers me an alumni forwarding-for-life account. They only forward mail, though; they don't hold it. They do also run an SMTP server, though, and that's what I use to make my outgoing e-mail look as if it came from mycollege.edu.

Viewing iPhoto Library from Multiple Accounts

First off I've asked this question before, a long time ago, but still don't have it resolved. I have (2) accounts on iMac with iPhoto 08 and I would like to share a single Iphoto Library. I would like Account 1 to have full rights and Account 2 only Viewing rights. Account 1 is set as Administrator and Account 2 is normal user.
When I first posed this question, I was told to move the Library to Shared Folders and then give Permission to Account 2 to "Read". I did that and it immediately locked up the Account 2s iPhoto with the error message "Drive is Locked or you don't have permission to make changes" when I log into the second account.
It's been that way for a very long time, my other users have been using Account 1 to view photos so I've ignored the problem.
Now I want to fix it:
Account 2 can't open iPhoto because of the error message and I don't know how to dissassociate the Shared Library from Account so I can open the program. How to safely do this?
Is there a preferred way, or even 3rd party software, that will allow me to share the iPhoto library among multiple accounts on a single iMac? Does latest iPhoto iteration allow this? I am willing to consider most anything at this point...

To use iPhoto Sharing it must be running in both Accounts.
This method seems a little clunky at first, but works very well. Most importantly, it uses the System to do the job for you.
Create a new Account on your Mac, call it Media. Create an iPhoto Library there. (BTW: This will work for iTunes too.)
Enable Sharing on the Library:(Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other accounts. In those accounts, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. The Library will appear in the other source pane.
This means that both users will be able to see the pics. If you want to use a pic then simply drag it from the shared Library to your own in the iPhoto Window. This means that each user can have their own edits.
If you want to add photos to the Library: Log into the Media account for that purpose.
To make it all seamless: Set your Mac to log into the Media Account automatically. Set iPhoto to launch on log-in. Then switch to your own account using Fast User Switching.
Net result: a Library that's permanently available to all users but also protected. Each user can have their own versions of the pics if they want.
The permissions issue you're having is directly related to they to share the iPhoto Library. To change what Library account 2 is looking at: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
To share an iPhoto Library with 08 without using iPhoto Sharing then move the Library to a disk (formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and set to ignore file permissions. But remember, everyone will have the same access as you, if you do.

VIEWING NEW EMAILS FROM MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS

In Mozilla I have multiple accounts (Hotmail,gmail etc.) I simply want to view all unread emails from all accounts without having to open each account separately. I thought this would be an obvious feature sorry if it is!

Sending Email from Multiple Accounts, not just one.

I have 3 email accounts set up on my iPhone, 1 Gmail, 2 two POP accounts.
For example if I get an email from Gmail, I check it in the phone and hit reply it goes out, from Gmail.
If I view an email in another POP account (NONGMAIL) and hit reply, the reply is sent from my GMail address. What gives?
If you reply to a message from another account shouldn't it go from that account? I don't want to be responding to work emails with my Gmail address.
Does the iPhone only support 1 account to send email? I tried changing the default account that did nothing using the mail client. Anyone else have this issue.

I'm having my issue. I have a gmail and an IMAP account set up on my phone.
When I have my default mail set to my gmail account, and I go into either inbox of my iphone's email application and send to a third email address, the emails appear to be coming from my gmail account.
When I change my default mail to be my IMAP account, the email STILL appears to be coming from my gmail account, no matter which account I send from.
The punchline is that, with either account set to default and sending from either account, the copy that I BCC to myself ends up being sent to BOTH email accounts.
Any idea what's going on?

Listening to music pruchased from multiple accounts on the iPT

When I snyc my iPT to my mac while logged into my iTunes apple account, I have no issue playing purchased tunes on the iPT. But when my girlfriend logs into iTunes with her account and I plug my iPT into the Mac, I can no longer play the music already loaded on my iPT that I purchased with my account. Could it be that you can only listen to music from one account at a time on the touch? Or do I need to be authorized with both accounts at once while syncing to then play off of the iPT? I have not had this issue with prior iPod generations.

Thanks for the reply... in my case this would be done by the active synch process so no GUI form is required. I will be getting a list of application ID for the user by LDAP AS. One i get it i will have to parse it and get the list of application user id. I am passing those ID;s to a workflow where I am forming the resource name as you mentioned
for example:
If i get user1#user2#user3 from AS i am separating them based on # using split and getting 3 different user id;s
now i am forming a string with the resource name and passing it to the sub process in which i am checking out the user object, setting the user attributes and checking in the new view.
user1#LDAP
user2#LDAP|1
user3#LDAP|2
Problem ; When i run this user1 is getting created in LDAP but user2 and user3 are not. There entry is getting created in IDM.
When I open the IDM object I get a yellow triangle (warning) and if I open the user object and hit save button IDM creates the user account on the LDAP.
any help for further solving this problem would be appreciated.
Regards,

How download from multiple accounts with one button

Apps from multiple accounts

I'm sure this is posted somewhere, but my searches didn't come up with anything. My dad just got an iPad. My sister's had an iPod touch for a while. How can they share apps, while his name/account is the one that the iPad recognizes? This applies to multiple accounts as well (my account and my mom's account).

One computer and one account can accomodate as many iOS devices as you like; legally, as many as are in your family household.
There are a lot of variations of "multiple accounts" i.e. more than one Apple ID, more than one iTunes Library, more than one computer or loging account to a single computer, etc You should do some research and then if you have specific questions, come back here. Here are some places to start:

Receiving email on Mail from multiple accounts

Have a Mail (1.3.11) account which has been working just fine for years. Also have a gmail accn't which some correspondents use, the emails from which I would like to receive when I open my regular Mail app. There is a Mail Help document: *Adding multiple email addresses to the same account* the instructions for which I think I've followed correctly, i.e., entered in the email address field the two accounts separated by a comma [Mail>Preferences>Accounts>Select specific account] and Saving these changes when closing the Preference Pane; yet my gmail msg's are only showing up in gmail and not in Mail. HELP. Thanks......

There is no such thing as “Mail (1.3.11) accounts”. Mail is a standard POP & IMAP mail client, not an ISP. You can set up as many mail accounts in Mail as you wish as long as they allow POP or IMAP access, but the mail accounts themselves must be provided by someone else.
Also, why are you following the instructions of Mail Help’s “Adding multiple email alias addresses to an account” article? What does the Gmail account have to do with the other mail account you already have? If they are different mail accounts (i.e. different User Name and Incoming Mail Server, you must set up them as separate accounts in Mail, not as multiple email addresses associated with the same mail account. How do you expect Mail to be able to access your Gmail account if you don’t tell Mail which incoming mail server the messages should be downloaded from?
