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?

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.

Can't Receive Email in Mail from Cloud Since Yesterday ...Anyone?

Since yesterday, my Mac (OSX Lion) is no longer receiving email from my mac.com email address.
My iPhone receives it fine.
I tried looking up support articles, but one of the incoming fields in MAIL they want you to set it to is greyed out so I can't change it.
Does anyone have any idea what I can do to get Mail back to receiving mail sent to my mac.com address?
Thanks
Tom

I went there...first went to my mac account and it said "Your account has been moved to iCloud adjust settings there" or something, so I went there....unchecked and rechecked MAIL ( couldn't log out, as it were) but nothing is happening. It's as if Mail just can't receive iCloud mail anymore. Again, my iPhone is fine. I am having to go to iCloud on the web to see my incoming mail addressed to my .mac account.
So confusing and no way to get help from Apple without paying for the call. Silly.
Ugh!!!

See mail from multiple accounts

I could have sworn that when I got my iPhone I could see my mail from all my accounts. Then I played with preferences and I am stuck with the one I selected as default. Is it possible to see all accounts?

If you have multiple email accounts, you have to go into each one individually, then into the inbox, to see emails for that account. There is no summary view that shows all the emails from all the accounts in one screen.
I went over to the iPhone feedback page and left them a message suggesting that as a future enhancement.

Is there a way to see all your new mail from multiple accounts on one page?

I'm currently receiving emails from four different accounts on my iPhone. I love getting all my emails like this, but it would be even nicer if I didn't have to navigate between all the different accounts.

Nope. There is no universal mailbox on the iPhone.

Sending mail from multiple accounts

HI! I have set up two Yahoo accounts on my I phone. #1=work and #2=home. If I send mail or reply to mail from my home address then it actaully sends it from my work address. How do I get it to send it from my home address? Changing the default account does not work. The only solution I have found has been to turn off the account I do not want to send from. This is a big pain when I am in a hurry. Any suggestions?

Try reseting the phone (hold down home and sleep/wake buttons at the same time until the Apple logo comes up)
If that does not work delete the accounts and add them back

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)

Problem Sending mail from multiple accounts

I have a PowerBook pro and I set up 2 gmail email accounts. When I prepare a new message there is a pull down list for the "from" column where I can select one or the other address to be the "from" address. However when I send the messages they both always are sent from the same address. I am using gmail imapi and I believe I've got all the settings correct. Does anyone know how to solve this?
Please help.
Thanks.
Steve

Are both accounts Gmail?
If so check the outgoing server for each, which should be the same, and that for each address it contains the Correct Return address.
I suspect the Return Address for both accounts is set to the same Gmail address.

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.
Please consider adding a location to your profile so I know which roads to avoid...

Mail not receiving incoming mail from gmail account

I have an imac with 10.5 that has suddenly stopped accepting email in one of my gmail accounts, but still gets it from another. I synched my imac with my ibook earlier today. The ibook has the same problem accepts mail from the account that the imac doesn't etc.
Any help solving this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Did you select “Directory Management Service” option, if so, please make sure you configure the Central Administration application pool identity account to have the Create, delete, and manage user accounts right to the container that you specify in Active Directory.
Did you install Exchange server 2003 in your MOSS environment? If so, you should add an SMTP connector in Exchange Server, if you don’t know how to do that, you can post your issue into the following forum:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchangesvrdeploy/threads
Also, please check whether your configuration meet the following requirements, If not, correct them and check the effect.
· The application pool account for Central Administration, the logon account for the Windows SharePoint Services Timer service, and the application pool accounts for your Web applications should have the correct permissions to the e-mail drop folder.
· The domain controller running Active Directory has a Mail Exchanger (MX) entry in DNS Manager for the mail server that you plan to use for incoming e-mail.
For more information about how to configure incoming e-mail settings, please refer to the following article:

Ipad 2 not auto receiving mail from IMAP account

Hi, I have an iPad 1 & 2 and an iPhone 3Gs.
I have may email accounts with different servers, Apple, Yahoo, Google & 1&1.
All auto receive mail via push, except for the 1&1 acc on the iPad2.
Checked & double checked settings are same as on iPhone & iPad 1 which both receive mail from that account without issues.
The only way I can get to see new mail from the 1&1 acc on it is to open the mail app and sit back for it to come in!
What could I possibly be doing wrong? Is anyone else having the same issue?

I am. I have a G5 and an iPad. I can get my mail from the G5, or by logging onto the server via Internet, but my mail app tells me it can't connect to the server. I've tried all the fixes on the other, similar threads... Set both fetch to manual, hard restart, reconfigure, etc. I can get it to work once after hard reboot.

I can't SEND e-mail from an account on my iPad 4, that CAN receive -mail

Hi Again,
I am hoping someone on this forum will possibly have an answer to a very confusing problem.
I can't seem to get one of my e-mail accounts to be set up 'properly' on my iPad 4. The account in question is an account from BT, which has @btinternet.com at the end of it. I have 'installed' and deleted this account more than ten times. When setting up this account (as with all other accounts that DO work properly), the only info I am 'asked' to input is my name, e-mail address and password, in the 'text entry spaces' that relate to the INCOMING mail server. When this is done I USUALLY see the word 'verifying........' Then the 'blue tick marks' confirming that the info I have entered is correct. The validity of this info is also confirmed by the fact that this account can RECEIVE the e-mails sent to it.
Each of the last four or five times I have deleted this e-mail account and re-installed it I have NOT seen the word 'verifying.....' And I have NOT seen the aforementioned blue ticks. Selecting 'done' after re-entering my info just makes this settings box disappear, rather than show the verifying and the blue ticks, which then allows me to see that the account is 'properly' set up - or should be anyway.
Even so I still get all the e-mails again, but still cannot SEND, OR REPLY
The error message I get every single time I try to SEND, OR REPLY using this same e-mail account is:
'Cannot Send Mail'
'The username or password for SMTP: ***********@mail.btinternet.com is incorrect'
My username and password are NOT incorrect. The set up process does not even ask for a username or password for 'SMTP'!
Even if I go further into the settings for this account, I can find two spaces where I COULD put a username and password, for SMTP, but these spaces already have the words 'optional' in them so they are not supposed to be 'required'. Even if I DO put in these spaces my surname and password for this e-mail account it does not make any difference.
I have tried 'switching on' the 'other mail servers' which are shown below the 'Primary mail server' in another settings box, for the btinternet.com e-mail account settings, but this still does not stop the error message, AND the e-mail in question is then actually sent from one of the e-mail accounts connected with the 'other mail servers' - I know this because it appears in the 'sent' items folder of whichever account my iPad has decided to use at the time (not always the same one either). It also appears in the sent items folder of the account that I TRIED to use, despite the fact it was NOT sent from this account, and the error message said I cannot send mail (from this account).
I have contacted Apple Tech Support and they have told me that the problem is NOT with the iPad, it is with the 'account provider'. This is because they say that the info held and used by BT - the info that is used as the 'correct info', that is compared to what I have put in the set up boxes on my iPad - IS actually the info that is incorrect despite the fact that the info I use on my iPad and the info I use on the BT website (which was originally determined by ME when I first got my account) and is held by BT, is the info that is causing the problem of the error message. To put it another way, the info referred to in the error message is NOT incorrect, the error message is incorrectly generated.
Typically, BT have tried to deny the problem is caused by them because 'the info referred to' - which is my e-mail address and password - works correctly an ALL places that is supposed to work (on the BT website) AND works with the BT/iPad applications like BT Wi-Fi, BT Smart talk, etc. :( :( :(
Any help or advice that anyone could give will be very greatly appreciated
Many thanks
Bob

Update to above question:
Hello All,
To anyone with the same problem described above, on THEIR iPad (if it is running iOS 7.0.2):
Go to Settings; Mail, Contacts, Calendars; DELETE your *******@btinternet.com e-mail account, that you originally set up either using 'Other', or the 'BT' option which I am sure was in the list previous to the iOS 7 update.
Then ADD a NEW account choosing YAHOO from the list of options. DO NOT USE 'OTHER'.
Enter the correct details just as you (almost certainly) had already done in your previous attempts using 'other'.
When you see the 'verifying......' and 'the blue ticks' you should be able to exit settings and open your mail app and then receive all your 'old' e-mails again, AND be able to SEND as well.
All my 'old' e-mails, were NOT found in the 'old e-mail' folder though. THEY are still in my inbox.
So this fix worked for me.
After I deleted my account from 'OTHER' and put it in Yahoo, I like other people also ended up with more folders.
I hope this works for you on YOUR Apple devices.
Bob

I am unable to send emails using mail from my btinternet and yahoo accounts similar problem to others with mobile me accounts on lion any suggestions?

Do I need to delete all my email accounts and start again?

I frequently receive a notice from Mail that it "can't connect" to my yahoo mail account, despite the fact that I can receive mail from that account. The banner appears with my coded password highlighted and asks me to choose 'cancel' or 'ok'.

I frequently receive a notice from Mail that it 'can't connect' to my Yahoo account despite the fact that I am able to receive mail from that account. It appears with the name of my Yahoo account, my password (coded), and the choice to 'cancel' or 'ok'. If I click either, the banner goes away but comes back soon. I can open Mail and see that all accounts are online. I get the banner SEVERAL time during a session - very annoying!
I have several accounts, but this only happens with Yahoo and sometimes Hotmail. Can anyone tell me how to resolve this Mail issue?
Thanks.

I have 5 IMAP and 1 POP (Hotmail).
The Yahoo is IMAP.
