Syncing Multiple Email Accounts

My question is I want to sync two mail accounts to my iPhone and didn't know if it is possible. I use a Gmail account for all my personal emails and I would like to sync my work email account to the phone as well. At work I use Microsoft Outlook. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

You can retrieve and send mail from any number of accounts via EDGE and WiFi. Mail does not sync via USB cable, only over the air. What "mail sync" actually does is sync mail SETTINGS, not the mail itself. You can sync only one set of settings, but you can manually enter as many accounts as you want to.
To sync work mail if your company uses Microsoft Exchange your company's Exchange server must have IMAP connectivity enabled. Check with your IT department.

  • How do I sync multiple email accounts on ipad

    So I'm now, dubiously, the lucky owner of iPad mini with up to date software and iMac with latest software.
    It now seems apple have decided they don't want me to use more than one email account and so have stopped me being able to sync them ? Even for apple this is breathtaking in its arrogance and fascistic nature...
    Anyone any ideas?

    By synchronize, I suspect you mean that reading or deleting a message on one device will result it its being read or deleted on the other device. If so, this is only possible for IMAP accounts or exchange accounts. This is not an iPad limitation but a limitation in the email system protocols. iCloud mail is an IMAP system; so, iCloud email will synchronize automatically. There could be a slight delay in this, but it works.
    Many email systems (Comcast may be one of the more common) are POP accounts. Those won't sychronize at all regardless of device used.
    If by synchronize you mean that you can have the account on multiple devices and that's all; no problem regardless of the system. But, remember that you will download all your POP messages even if you have read and deleted them on another device. That can be a pain.

  • How to Sync Multiple email Account with iCloud

    I have many email account over a local internet service provider and different hosting companie.
    Is it possible to sync all my account over my MacBook, iMac, iPhone using icloud?
    How can I do this?
    Can you help?
    Thank you,
    BigBlaze

    According the this: http://www.apple.com/mobileme/transition.html, "After moving to iCloud, family member accounts are no longer linked to the master account."  You can share an iCloud calendar (see http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2690), but I don't think you will be able to share iCloud contacts unless you are signed into the same iCloud account on both phones.

  • Can Multiple email accounts on Galaxy S4 sync with iCloud & non-iCloud email?

    Hello… has anyone successfully set up multiple email accounts (iCloud/Yahoo/AT&T/etc.) on their Samsung Galaxy S4 Jelly Bean 4.2? I searched the forums and it has been said that configuration settings depend on the combination of wireless service provider + device model + email providers + Android version.
    My S4 is from AT&T and if this scenario can't work, I have to cancel my contract in a few days (although that would be the last resort). From checking the forums, not everyone has been able to get the S4 to work with iCloud. In my case, I hope to sync up with iCloud and non-iCloud email which might be trickier.
    Here is one thread that helps with settings, but doesn't seem to address multiple or non-iCloud accounts: https://discussions.apple.com/message/22435596#22435596
    Some background info…
    Although Gmail just works on Android devices, I plan to primarily use Apple/Yahoo/AT&T email (at least initially).
    I don’t yet have Apple mail/iCloud, but plan to. I am partially switched to the Mac (Mtn Lion), but haven’t completed the jump from Windows.
    I don’t have an iPhone (so hopefully that makes the setup less complicated.)
    I mostly care about email on the S4 (I’m not concerned about syncing up contacts, calendar, music, etc.).
    Apologies for the long post, but hopefully I’ve included the necessary background info for the questions below:
    Is it possible to setup multiple (iCloud/Yahoo/AT&T) emails on the Samsung Galaxy S4 from AT&T so that they sync nicely?
    From the S4, if I reply to an email, will the Sender in the email reply be the same account which received the email? Or, (as I’ve read in the excerpt below) will the Sender for all email replies from the S4 be set from a fixed/primary account?
    Although the first two questions above are the most urgent for now, I'd appreciate pointers if you see something that should be changed in the configuration settings below.
    Thanks in advance!

    After spending quite some time trying to get my T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II setup with iCloud mail, this is what finally worked. Thanks to everyone for the various bits that helped lead me in the right direction. For those who need lots of detail, I hope the below helps. Please don't ask me about any other specific Android phones as I'm not expert but thought someone out there could benefit from my experience. 
    INCOMING SERVER SETTINGS
    User Name: username (do not enter @me,com or @mac.com)
    Password: (enter your password)
    IMAP server: imap.mail.me.com
    Security type: SSL
    Port: 993
    IMAP path prefix: p##- (you can find this by checking your account settings on your Mac. Mine was p03- so that's what I entered here)
    Press NEXT
    OUTGOING SERVER SETTINGS
    SMTP server: smtp.mail.me.com
    Security type: TLS
    Port: 587
    check the box next to "Require sign-in" if it's not already checked
    User name: username  (do not enter @me.com or @mac.com)
    Password (enter your password)
    Press NEXT
    Your phone will check the server settings and you should be able to see your email now.
    And another poster provided these additional tips…
    Definitely select SSL/TLS and accept all certificates
    Now here's the zinger: Authentication should be LOGIN
    After figuring this out, I finally (after many hours of searching and testing) got to my outgoing server settings, which are: smtp.me.com
    NONE for security type
    Tic "Require Sign-in"
    Authentication is PLAIN
    And another poster's question about the Sender's email address for multiple accounts…
    Managed to get this all set up however, Android only seems to allow you to send from your primary address and only reply from your primary address even if a mail was sent to one of the other addresses.
    Any ideas how to get around this as I have three addresses beneath my primary which I need to both send from and reply from.

    You're unlikely to find many people with experience of configuring multiple email accounts on a specific Samsung device, here on the Apple forum for an Apple service. Try the Samsung forums for help setting up your Samsung phone.
    There are a few posts with general info relating to setting up an iCloud email account on Android here if you search though.

  • HT1692 Have recently installed itunes and outlook on a new computer.  Have multiple email accounts set up in Outlook tho only use contacts and calendar in relation to one of these. Cannot sync itunes with the correct contacts and calendars, Help!

    My new computer is 64-bit running Windows 7 pro, SP1 and Microsoft Office 2010 Pro Plus 32-bit
    My phone is a 4S runing iOS 6.1.3
    Very frustrated now that I have recently installed itunes and outlook on this new computer.  Everything worked perfectly ok on my laptop which was also 64-bit Windows 7 and running 32-bit Microsoft Office 2010 Pro.  I have multiple email accounts set up in Outlook tho only use contacts and calendar in relation to one of these. Cannot sync itunes with the correct contacts and calendars, when I sync the calendar and contacts are empty.  Not sure if there is any way to point itunes to particular address books and calendars.
    I have installed and uninstalled itunes 3 times and thank goodness have a backup
    Can anyone help please?
    thanks in anticipation

    I had my home computer set up to sync to work's Exchange server. It worked well, but I didn't like seeing work email messages and other programs trying to sync with my default Outlook folder, which was then the Exchange (& work related) .ost file. I know there are various ways to manage those problems using filters, view, subfolders, etc., but it was a hassle for me. I think it could work well for many other folks.
    For now, I have published my work calendar and subscribed to that calendar on my home computer. So I have view only access to my calendar on my home computer (and I can add/edit calendar items on my iPad (or Outlook Web Access) when away from work). This is not quite what I wanted, but it may work.
    It almost makes me long for the days when I used my Windows Mobile Treo to sync back and forth between exchange at work and outlook at home (but had many sync conflicts as a result).

  • How to setup multiple email accounts on one apple device It syncs to the rest of my apple devices?

    I have a Macbook pro (10.8.2), iPad 4 (6.0.1), and iPhone 5 (6.0.1).
    I have multiple email accounts set up on my iPhone:
    3X Work
    1X personal
    1X School
    They use Gmail and Microsoft exchange.
    Is it possible to have all these accounts automatically created on my ipad and Macbook without typing in all info again?
    Heres a visual:
    I hope this makes it a little more clear.
    I'm sure in the time it took me to type this, I could've manually added all the accounts to the devices lol
    Oh, and iCloud > Mail is enabled on all devices.
    Thanks for any and all help!

    Your post is a bit open ended....
    First thing - You need to decide if you want to use virtual domains or not.
    If
         [email protected]
         [email protected]
         [email protected]
    all should be separate mailboxes, then you need virtual domains.
    If those 3 addresses can all go to the same mailbox, then you don't.
    If you don't need virtual domains, then don't use them... things are simpler without that feature.
    If thats the case, in the domain name field in Mail service, enter your primary domain.
    You'll then need to enter your other domains via command line.
    First, check your mail domain setting with:
    sudo serveradmin settings mail:postfix:mydomain
    Here is how you enter more than one domain:
    - Quit the Server app
    - Issue this with your domains between the quotes
    sudo serveradmin settings mail:postfix:mydomain = "domain1.com, domain2.com"
    - Restart postfix to activate your change
    sudo postfix reload
    If you open the Server app, you will notice both domains are now listed.

  • How do I set a preference for opening one of multiple email accounts first?

    I have multiple email accounts and prefer to open one of them first when I open the email app.  After setup of all my email accounts the app is opening one of the accounts that is not my preference even though I setup my preferred account as the default.  I've deleted all accounts and started over thinking that the order of the setup made a difference but it has not helped.
    In particular I want an Exchange email account to open first and this account is not sync'ed with iTunes.
    Would appreciate any suggestions.
    Thank you,

    The only way that you can do something even close to what you are trying to do is to back out of whatever you are in while using the mail app in order to get back to the main mail window that shows all of your inboxes and all of the different email accounts under the accounts heading. Then you could choose to use the Exchange account first from there.
    You would have to do this every single time that you are done with mail and it isn't exactly what you are looking to do and it's hardly worth the time anyway.

  • Multiple email accounts for iCal notifications

    I have multiple email accounts. I would like to be able to use the email account of my preference when sending a notification for a calendar (meeting) invitation. I would like to be able to select the preferred email account for every invitation I send.
    This is not possible on iCloud (never was possible on iCal either).
    Thanks

    I too have the same request of Apple's programmers.  It is very nearly 2012.  I believe Outlook has had this capability for at least the latst decade.  I've spent the better part of the last two days going through every thread on these boards, and I've tried everything - none of it works.  This shouldn't be that difficult.
    What I think is the problem is this:
    iCal uses my "APPLE ID" email.  It is the only possible explanation because THAT is the email that iCal sends from, every time.  I've deleted that ID from my "ME" card, it's been removed from the previous recipients list, it does not exist on this computer EXCEPT for being related to my Apple ID.
    Simply being able to select which email I send an invite FROM would be a huge advancement in iCal.  I have a number of calenders in iCal, most of which sync with iCloud.  I should be able to select the from email every time I set up an invite, or at least be able to select a default send from email for each calendar.  This shouldn't be rocket science.
    Does Apple ever read these boards?  There are threads back to 2009!

  • Multiple email accounts to MfE?

    Hi,
    quick question: is it possible to get multiple email accounts installed to Mail for Exchange phone client? If not will there a possibility for this in the future?
    Any workarounds for this issue? All help is highly appreciated. We are using E90 models.

    With www.seven.com you can have multiple accounts, but only one can be exchange or notus lotes (to sync contacts, calendar,etc). In addition, you can add accounts for gmail, yahoo, aol, pop, imap, etc. IMHO Seven is better than MFE or Roadsync.

  • How do I access multiple email accounts

    I just got my Bionic a few days ago and have set up multiple email accounts (work, gmail, yahoo).  When I click the "email" icon only one account appears.  I can't seem to find the inbox, etc for any of the other accounts.  The only time I can find those messages is when a new message comes in and I get notified of it.  Then I can catch the other messages.
    How do I access the inboxes for all the accounts?  This must be obvious but i'm missing it.

    Questions are typically followed by a question mark. My answer answered your question.
    Firefox doesn't do email, so there are no "Firefox email accounts". If you are accessing "email" with Firefox, you are using web mail. Some web mail services don't allow for direct access, they want their users to access their email from a "portal" or "main" page and will re-direct any attempt to load an "internal" web site page back to the main page.
    As far as loading 3 different web mail accounts at the same time, if they are in the same domain it won't work on Firefox without a Firefox addon. http://br.mozdev.org/multifox/
    IOW, if those three email accounts all with Yahoo, without that add-on you would have to logon to each email account separately and log out of the first before logging into the 2nd. Then log out of the 2nd before logging into the 3rd. Firefox isn't capable of having multiple session cookies for simultaneous logon's to the same server. That add-on provides that "multiple sessions cookies" feature.

  • If I have multiple email accounts, how can I prevent one of them from sending email?

    If set up multiple email accounts in Thunderbird, how can I prevent one of them from sending email, while allowing others to send?

    Simple answer:
    do not use the email address when sending or replying or forwarding emails. Sending is not automatic, you have to generate the email and click on a Send button.
    You could use an smtp server that will not allow sending using the incorrect server for the email address, so that it cannot send, but if you accidentally use the email address you may get an error message, but at least the email will not be sent. Do this here:
    Tools > Account Settings for the mail account.
    bottom right Outgoing Server - select one that will not accept sending using wrong email address
    OR
    in Outgoing Server(SMTP) select the server you are using for that account
    click on 'Edit'
    deliberately make an error in the server name - remove the port details etc.
    So the details are wrong and cannot send.

  • How can i read multiple email accounts?

    hi,
    my program is to get emails from multiple email accounts, and grab the attachments, but it doesn't work properly.
    If there's only one email account, it works fine, but if there are more, it looks like that the program always goes into the first mail account to read the messages. i suspect that the 'Server' or the 'Session' are not reset before each connection, i printed out the connected 'Folder', it looks fine, but every time the 'Folder.getMessageCount()' returns the same number of messages as the first email account has.
    Here's my code:
    // this is to get the folder, mostly 'inbox'
    // serverString is like: "protocol://username@host/foldername"
    // all parameters are retrieved from the Database
    public static Folder getMailFolder(String serverString, String username, String password) throws Exception {
            // URLName server = new URLName("protocol://username@host/foldername");

            URLName server = new URLName(serverString);
            // the session is created by grabbing the authentication using the username and password
            // the MailAuthenticator is an inner class as shown at the bottom
            Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(new Properties(),
                    new MailAuthenticator(username, password));

            // Here is my problem, the msgs.length always returns the same value

    Assuming you're passing in the right URL, I don't see the problem.
    Still, try change session.getDefaultInstance to session.getInstance
    and see if that helps. If not, turn on session debugging and check the
    protocol trace for clues. If you still can't figure it out, post the protocol
    trace.

  • Multiple email accounts in Thunderbird, but email always sent out from just one no matter which i use - how do I stop that?

    I have multiple email accounts on TB. however, whenever I send an email from any of the other accounts, when the email arrives it shows as having been sent from the email account I first set up on TB. even if i am replying to an email received, the reply shows from the original account instead of the one I actually send it from. I REALLY need to fix this fast!!

    You have to set the return address to a different one from the first one (since that will usually be the default) if that is what you want. You can set the identity information from Account Settings > [account name] > Manage Identities button.
