Sorting mail into different mailboxes from different email accounts

I have my work email account and my private account. I don't want my emails to be mixed into the same inbox. How do I have Mail know that when the email is sent to my work email it sorts it to a different "work" inbox and the same for personal things? What do I need to do so that I can keep those email accounts seperate?

Hi Ryan
Actually, you do have separate Inboxes, although Mail is very good at convincing you that you don't. In the main Mail window, click the triangle to the left of the Inbox. It should expand into your various account inboxes, which you can click on individually to show the inbox for that account only.

MAIL - click REPLY, Mail uses different email account to send reply

MBP Early 2011

Hi.
When I click reply in MAIL the from field gets filled with one of my other account emails. I want the from email address to be the same as the original address the other person used. I get the drop down window to decide which account to use. But MAIL always picks the same less used account to fill the field. I have looked and can't find the way to fix this.
The "send new message from" box has the proper email/account highlighted. Mail still uses one of my other accounts/emails -- mind you it is always the same account it uses.

One option you can do is to rename the plist file, which keeps track of your mail options. It's possible it's corrupt and not recognizing your change. The downside is you may have to enter your mail account information and options again.
If you want to try it, close the mail application. Go to "your user name"/library/preferences and find com.apple.mail.plist . Hold down the alt key, click on it, and rename it, perhaps to com.apple.mail.oldplist. Restart mail, which will create a new plist file. Go into Preferences and on the composing tab set it to what you want. If that now works, you can erase the file you renamed, or just leave it there if you want.

How can i have 2 tabs open,each tab signed into different email accounts

new user to firefox. i wish to share firefox with my partner but want to be able to automatically open both mine and hes email account on different tabs without setting up anther user account

You can do this by using an add-on. There are several add-ons that offer this functionality, such as:

Mail will not send from designated email account

I have several emails set up in Mail. Everything has been working great until a couple days ago. I haven't changed anything, made any updates, or added any new accounts.
Let's call the two accounts A and B. My main account is A. When I am sending an email, A is my default. It is designated as such. When I send an email from account A, I double check in each email. It shows it is coming from that default account. However, my recipient is receiving the email from account B. I only know this because when they reply, their response shows up in account B's inbox. The weird thing? My sent email folder shows as being sent from the correct account-- account A.
I have re-installed the accounts, double-checked everything. The problem still exists.
This is the weirdest issue. Anyone know what could be causing this?
Thanks so much for the help.

Probably because it is using the server of account B to send from. When it goes through B's server, the server changes the sent address to that of B's email address. Either you have the wrong outgoing server set up for account A or there is a problem with it and it's switching to account B's server.
Open account preferences and highlight account A. Look at the SMTP server list and see which it shows. Select the correct one and check the box to use only that server for that account. If it fails in the future, you will get an alert that it failed and the option to choose another outgoing server.
Make sure all information for that server is correct and that it has the correct user name and password. Once you get that working, do the same for account B and make sure it has the correct outgoing server and check the box for that one also.

Cal reminders coming from different email account?

When I create an event in calendar, the reminder comes from a different email account, my work email account. First, I never linked Cal to my work account which is strange. Secondly, I have no idea why it sends reminders to my personal email. This started happening after I updated to Yosemite.

How do I uninstall the software from my computer to start the iPhone set up over again, as I have managed to set everything to several different email accounts, and want it all to operate from one?

Multiple addresses on 1 computer - putting email in folder of different email account?

I am transitioning to a new MBP next week. I am getting a SSD, smaller than my HDD now, which means I need to work on freeing up some space. There is plenty of junk (apps I never use, etc) on my computer to be freed up. (I'm also planning to use an external harddrive more often for more files.) The big thing that I want to do is organize my email box.
I currently have 3 emails going into my Mail application. a .mac and 2 gmail accounts. I did a bad job managing my emails as they came in, I currently have about 7500 in my inbox so there are a lot that can be deleted and more that need to be organized.
I use my email addresses for different purposes, but, for example, my family switches between them depending on what their computer comes up with first when sending me emails.
My question is this... If I want to put all of their emails together in a folder, for example on icloud... can I do this even though they are from different email accounts?
I know it is possible, but, for example, if I put a gmail email into my icloud account, does it dissapear from my gmail and become a .mac email?
When I transfer to my new computer and have to redownload my email accounts, will all my hard work of organizing into folders be lost because a gmail is going to move back to gmail and out of my icloud folder?
(Secondary question... Mail keeps reasking me for my gmail password, but won't accept it when I put it in. I know it is correct. What I've looked up online is that I need to delete the account and recreate in mail. I assume that and foldering that I make will not stick if I am moving stuff when I am not linked to the gmail server!? I suppose I should do the deleting and relinking before I go to organizational crazy.)

despite suggestions from the well meaning but ignorant, Thunderbird can have large folders. My inbox has some 17,700 messages in it. The folder that holds mail from this forum had over 30,000 messages.
What Thunderbird can not tolerate, nor should it have to, is having anti virus programs scanning it's files while it is trying to use them. Usually resulting in a corrupt index (what your seeing most likely.) In the case of Norton, Symantec are unrepentant and rather proud of the fact that their anti virus will quarantine everything in your inbox if they find a virus or anti sort, even in a deleted mail. Their product is also just plain intrusive and aggressive, not bad when it does not really scan incoming mail.
Create an exception in Nortons for your Thunderbird profile folders.
There is a link [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird:Testing:Antivirus_Related_Performance_Issues#Norton_Security here ]to both the mail scanning and Nortons instructions for creating Sonar exemptions

When I email myself a picture from my iphone 4s, the email is sent from an email account that I don't have set up as the default account. How can I set it up so that the emails are coming from the default account selected in Mail?

Under my mail tab, it shows that I have a specific email account set up as a default account. That is the account I would like for me emails to be sent from. But when I actually send out an email such as a picture, it is being sent from one of my different email accounts that is not set up as the default. How can I change this so that future messages will be sent from the default account? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!!

All photo attachments received or sent with the iPhone's Mail app appear inline or viewed in place within the body of the message when viewed with the iPhone's Mail app which is the same with the Mail.app on a Mac. A photo attachment that appears inline or viewed in place does not mean the photo was not sent as a true attachment to the message. A photo attached to a message with the iPhone's Mail app is sent as a true attachment to the message. How an inline or viewed in place attachment appears on the recipient's end depends on the recipient's email client. If the recipient's email client does not support viewing an attached photo inline or viewed in place within the body of the message, the attached file must be manually selected and opened to viewed.
I am getting the email with the Picture Inline ( not as attachment),The picture is shown distorted , no metter what i do and with what mail client i am using (Gmail\Hotmail\My Enterprise exchange mail), i still get the same behavior.
With which email client?

How can i set up different rings/tones for incoming emails for different email accounts?

HI, I would like to be able to hear different rings/tones for emails coming from different email accounts. Eg, One sound for incoming email from gmail and another sound for incoming e-mail from Yahoo.
Thanks!

" Is there a possibility to set up different ringtones for each of the emails separately? "
No. Maybe with ios 6 this fall.
"Also would there also be an option for high priority emails to have a different ringtone as well?"
No. Maybe with ios 6 this fall.

Mail 8.2 Sending Messages from Wrong Email Account

This has been happening more often than not lately on the Mail 8.2 app. It's driving me crazy, and really messing up my business since I have a professional email (using Outlook) and a personal email (Gmail).
Both email accounts are setup on my Mac Mail. What has been happening is that when I write an email with my professional email (Outlook) and hit send everything seems fine and it will send (like it should!). It shows up in my sent messages in the Mac Mail app under my Outlook account and everything, great!... Oh, but the thing is, it doesn't really send from my Outlook account.
When I log into my Outlook account on my web browser, the email is not shown to have been sent. But, When I log into my Gmail account on the web... What?! There is the message in my Gmail sent folder! How??? It has my signature from my Outlook account and everything. To add to the strangeness, when I look at my Mail app on my iPhone, it says that the email was sent from my Gmail, and not my Outlook...
So, Mail on my Mac says sent from intended email account (Outlook), but in reality it somehow gets magically sent from my personal Gmail account... and shows up on the webpages and my iPhone as sent form Gmail... This doesn't happen every time. Just when Mail feels like it I guess, HA!
This is frustrating. Since it doesn't happen all the time, I never know if people are getting my emails, but I finally got the fluke to happen with a friend. Voila, in fact when this happens even though it's being sent in Mail though my Outlook account, my friend receives the email from my Gmail account with my Outlook signature...
What is going on? Is anyone else having this issue?
I need my personal and professional messages synced to my iPhone and Mac, or I would just say good riddance to the Mac Mail app.
I will just have to start sending my professional messages form the Outlook webpage until this is fixed. This is really unprofessional Apple. I never had this issue prior to Yosemite.
Hope this made since, it's the best I can make of it.
Thanks!

From the Mail menu bar, select
          Mail ▹ Preferences...
The Mail preference dialog opens. Select the Composing tab from the row of icons at the top. From the menu labeled
          Send new messages from:
choose
          Account of selected mailbox
Note that this setting may have no effect if you start a new message while a VIP or smart mailbox is selected in the mailbox list. Those are saved searches, not actual mailboxes.
If the problem remains, select the Accounts tab in the preference dialog, then select the affected account in the list on the left.
In the Account Information pane, select the correct server in the menu labeled
          Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)
If there's only one server in the menu, select
          Edit SMTP Server List...
and add a new server with the correct settings. If you're not sure how to do that, try the Mail Settings Lookup.
Another possibility is that the wrong card in your address book is selected as yours. Select your card in the Contacts application. Then select
          Card ▹ Make This My Card
from the menu bar.
