Share mail on multiple macs

I have 2 macs and would like to access my mail from both computers. I'm using POP mail (no IMAP). Can I place the maildatabase on my airdisk and access it from both computers?
Thanks.

no, you can't. the only way to effectively sync mail across several computers is to use IMAP.
Thanks.

  • Synch mail to multiple macs

    is there a way to synchronize mail, including multiple email accounts and folder structure between multiple macs using cloud services such as dropbox?
    For instance is there a pst file I could copy to dropbox and later upload from dropbox that would make mail more portable? Sort of like restoring mail from a backup, except on a different machine.

    Hello Sangvir,
    As stated, you can create multiple actions (if you do that, don't forget to properly tune the action merging). This is the best option, because involves only configuration.
    You can also add a few ABAP code in a new implementation of the standard send mail method and add multiple mail destinations in the "To" or "CC" fields. This is simpler than sounds to be. Ask for an ABAPper to analyze the method source code and he/she will adapt it for you in a question of hours.

  • Mail with multiple macs.

    Lets say you own 2 macs...
    Lets say you have 6 or so email addresses... yahoo, gmail, .mac etc.
    How do you get both mac's mail apps and mailboxes to mirror one another? Is this possible?
    I don't mean mirror the same keychains and folder structure that synching does. I mean if I send a pdf from 1 mac and then I happen to be using the other mac and I want to find that pdf in my sent mailbox... I can find it! Is this doable? I thought synch would take care of this? I also thought synch would ALSO do this on .mac so I could ultimately have a web based version of my mailboxes and multiple machine based mailboxes ALL seeing the same stuff. Thanks for any help. Maybe I'm missing something?

    I've done that but there are a few issues:
    1. When I send an email in Apple Mail on my laptop... when I go to my tower Apple Mail that email does not show up in my sent folder.
    2. Apple Mail retrievs Inbox messages but it doesn't seem to import Sent messages
    3. .mac is totally in the dark with all of this activity and I can't log on at a friends computer and be up to date.
    As much as I like Apple Mail it doesn't seem practical UNLESS you only use Mail from 1 computer and you're not dependent on retrieving mail from any other computer. With multiple computers today, multiple email addresses and pda, phones etc it seems like this needs to be nailed so someone can see everything wherever they happen to be.

  • Why are some inbox messages not appearing in Mail on multiple macs and other devices?

    My partner and I have an iMac at home and one at work.  We also have two iPhones and two iPads.  We only have a couple email accounts each and two for work set up on all six Mail applications.  For some reason inbox messages are not appearing consistantly on all six devices.  For example, I can have a new message from my Mom, see it at home and on my iPhone, but not on the iMac at work.
    Also, some messages I'd like deleted off my work iMac since they're personal, but I'd like them kept on my home iMac and iPhone.  Is this possible?  Is it possible to delete a message on one and have it deleted on all others?

    What type of email accounts are they? IMAP or POP.
    IMAP leaves messages on the server so you can get them from everywhere.
    With POP, messages are downloaded to your client and then removed from the server, depending on your settings.
    The iDevice setup for POP doesn't remove them from the server.
    I think Mail's default setup for POP is to remove immediately.
    If they are POP accounts, you can set Mail's preferences to leave messages on the server for a period of time so that you can retrieve them on multiple clients.

  • Share TC with multiple macs

    Does anyone know how space is allocated to more than one Mac that is using TC for backup? If one Mac grabs most of the storage, does this basically just leave
    nothing for the other mac?
    No way to control this?

    I believe that however big your computer's hard drive is, that's how much space Time Capsule will set aside, even if you aren't backing up that much data. So like, if you have two computers using Time Capsule backup, one is 160gb and one is 250gb... then Time Capsule will set aside 160gb and 250gb for those computers, adding up to a total of 410gb of space that is being used just for the backups of those computers.
    It doesn't matter if you are only backing up maybe...60gb total between those 2 computers. It just sets aside that space no matter what.

  • Time Machine for multiple macs - NAS or DAS attached to my iMac, which I then share?

    Greetings
    I currently have three macs - MBA, MBP and an iMac (newest generation). I'd like to use Time Machine for all of them.
    Is it better to set up a NAS for Time Machine or can I use DAS that I woudl share (external HDD) attached to my iMac if they are all on the same network?
    Also, is there any need for something like a Drobo or an external RAID array, if it's mostly for backing up and not for video editing? It would be used as a mnusic server to some degree. I've used a Drobo in the past (2nd gen) and find that I've spent a lot of time troubleshooting and fiddling with it over the years.
    Thanks,

  • Dropbox to share address book over multiple Macs?

  • How do I merge multiple Mailbox e-mails from different Macs in my house?

    The iSync does not quite fix what I'm seeking...a way to merge, not replace, all of my various e-mails that I send on different macs in my home. So, for instance, if I send an e-mail on one of them, I'd like to find that e-mail on my other two.
    Anybody help me on this? Thanks!

    If you adopt the IMAP account approach first - as long as the IMAP account does not have the same user name and incoming mail server as the POP type account which will allow for creating the IMAP account with the POP account, you can transfer messages from the POP account's Inbox and Sent mailbox to the IMAP account's Inbox and Sent mailbox on each Mac.
    There is no way to merge mailboxes. You can use the Import Mailboxes feature to import the account's Inbox and Sent mailbox from one Mac to another and then transfer messages from the imported mailboxes to the account's Inbox and Sent mailbox in Mail on each Mac.

  • Same Account on Multiple Macs?

    I am setting up a new Mac Mini to be used primarily as the "accounting computer". But it will also serve as a backup computer for the 3 users on my main Mac Pro when multiple users want on at the same time. So how do I handle the set-up of the new Mini? Should I create 3 identical users, with their same login names & passwords, on the 2nd Mac? i.e. So when I need to get on to check email, but my main puter is in use by another user, I can jump on the Mini & have updated access to my email??? Secondly, how do I keep Mail, Calendar, etc in sync on both machines?

    My best suggestion would be to set your people up on one of the computers and have then share their home directories with password protection. You may want to do this on whichever system has more hard drive space. Then set them up again on the alternate system and make sure that they can connect to the main system to access their home directories. If you can train and/or convince your users to keep all of their files on the home directory space that resides on the main system, it could work.
    This is more along the lines of what I had in mind. The use on the alt computer will only be to do a quick email check... I am in the process of setting all email accounts up as IMAPs... or internet surfing, etc. Any tasks that involve files from the main box will have to be accessed through sharing, then saved back to their account on that main puter... and this will be on occasion at most. And now that I've said all this, I can think of several instances where I've needed to interrupt someone because I needed to check my calendar... have yet to use iSync - does something like this allow me to sync my iCal to another computer?
    So how should I handle the users on the 2nd Mac? Should I set up all the accounts there too... even if it might be for occasional use? And if I'm setting up individual accts, can I set up accts with the same login names & PW's on multiple Macs that are networked, without issue?
    It just dawned on me that if someone is surfing the internet on the alt box, they might need their favs over there... although I'm the only user w/an extensive favs list. Truth be told, my network is a home business network. So far, the only other users on the main Mac are my kids... the network serves for home biz/personal tasks. One of my kids is a college student who uses the computer for all basic tasks plus web design & Photoshopping. Point is, I'm just looking for the best, simple solution.

  • Multiple .Mac accounts, on one Admin account on one computer

    Hello all,
    I am trying to have multiple .Mac accounts to publish independent iWeb websites on unique domains (the apple iweb provided ones) but it appears I can only have one .Mac account on my computer's network user to do the easy one click Publish button to.
    I don't want to use multiple user accounts on my computer as I'd like to have access to all my photos, music, videos and everything else and easily do so without logging out from my main account.
    What am I missing?
    Many thanks,
    Michael

    The only safe and easy method is multiple user accounts.
    You can easily store your iPhoto and music Libraries on an external drive and share them between accounts.

  • One Apple ID on multiple macs to use for iCloud?

    We have one "business" apple ID for multiple macs in my office for ease of purchasing. Now, we'd like to use the same apple ID to sync our data via iCloud. I was wondering if it would create conflict if we only used one apple ID to sync multiple macs and would it create conflict with iCloud? 

    I don't believe there would be any conflicts. I'm not sure whether you intended sharing your contacts or some of your contacts between you but you can do either (indeed you don't need to share contacts if you don't want).

  • How do i sync iphone with multiple macs? and few questions

    Hi
    I would appreciate if anyone would help me.
    1. I would like to know how to sync my iphone with different macs. I have a macbook 13 and a macbook 15 and would like to use BOTH to be able to transfer data without losing them. (address, apps, photos and music)
    would like to use this feature if I were to be suddenly on a trip and a friend would like to share some of his files (audio, apps, photos..etc)
    2. is it possible to use internet tethering on multiple macs or example a "spontanious" mac? (ex. if I were suddenly to use internet through usb on a friends mac while we were on a trip but it were programmed on my mac at home)
    3. my internet tethering is only working on one mac which I usually use to sync everything... i tried just using tethering through usb on the other mac wihtout any sync but somehow it didnt work... usually i just plug and play and start using firefox... by automatic detection...
    4. is there also a way to copy files from iphone onto a mac which would not be one of my libraries?
    5. why cant i use iphone like the ipod as a disk use?
    I am aware that these things are somewhat possible because i have read quiet a few artivles but they are sadly enough not so current... any help appreciated.

    #1: As has been said, you can't get around it. An iPhone cannot be synched to more than one computer for any media content (it can be for contacts and calendar information, I believe).
    #4: You can transfer items purchased from the iTunes Store to another computer but only if you disallow synchronization and authorize that computer to your iTunes Store account. There are third-party utilities that can transfer non-iTunes Store content.
    #5: there is no disk mode in an iPhone and no way to enable one, at least not in the sense of disk mode in earlier iPods. There are third-party apps that allow some file transfer to and from an iPhone.
    I can't help with tethering questions.

  • IDVD burning one project on multiple macs? where are project contents?

    How do I burn one project on multiple macs? I have a idvd project I created in keynote, added music to it in Garageband, exported to quicktime, and now is in iDVD burning just fine. However I have tons of these dvd's to make, I would like to put all my mac's to work.
    last night i tried to share the file, and it is just an alias when i drag it over from the macbook it was created on to my imac. the file says it is in use and locked, since the macbook that created it is burning it. If I wanted to brun on the imac, I had to wait until the macbook was done.
    is there a way around this? What if I copied all files I used to make the idvd project to my imac or any computer i wanted to burn on? woudl it hen allow two macs to be burning the same project?
    I figured I could do this just like on my PC, drag the file over and voila...no such luck, its like if i had dragged a shortcut over to another pc...if the first one is using the file, its locked. Basically how do i get to the actual contents of the project, so I can also bring them over and hopefully it will allow me to burn on multiple macs at the same time?
    my next solution if that didn't work was to start copying dvd's using popcorn on the other macs while the macbook continues burning through idvd.
    Any opinions on how i can duplicate a dvd fast...need alot of copies!

    Also as to where the files are.
    I-DVD project bundle: This is the file created when you save the project.
    • [user]/Library/iDVD/Favorites: This folder is located in your home folder.
    • [root]/Library/iDVD/Favorites: This folder is located at the root of your disk.
    • /Network/Library/iDVD/Favorites: This folder is on a network system specifically
    configured by your system administrator for this purpose. (This is not the same as
    having a server networked into your computer.)

  • Can i back up multiple macs to the same hard drive

    can i back up multiple macs to the same hard drive

    Yes, you simply share the drive to the network.. in whatever way that is possible as you have given us no info.. over the network TM will create sparsebundles.. locally it can produce a straight backup ..
