Trouble setting up two email addresses from same account

I have a Yahoo small business account with one username but 5 email addresses. I need to use at least 2, preferably 3, of them from my iPhone. I can create the 3 addresses, but when I try to type in the 3 sets of POP settings, I get an error message as soon as I type the username, saying "this account has already been set up". Then all it will do is let me edit the email address on the first account.
Anybody know of a work-around for this?

That is unfortunate.
What exactly is it that you would like from us, your fellow users, in these user to user technical support forums?

  • How do I set up two email address on the same account?

    Using Mail in Mac OS X 10.6.2 and moving to Mac for the first time, I have been unable to set up two email addresses on the same account. Entering them, separated by commas, as advised in the Help does not seem to work. I have tried making them both the same password and have tried separating the passwords with a comma but no luck. Unable to set up another account for the second address because it correctly tells me that the account already exists.
    Is there a way?
    Thanks for any help.

    After a comprehensive trial and error session, using a new Guest Account each time to be sure of no contamination from the previous trial, I have finally cracked it!
    The problem was logging on to the outgoing server.
    Setting up the first account was fairly straightforward but if I allow Mail to do it automatically I am unable to send because Mail has defaulted to 'Authentication Required' when my server does not require it. Setting the account manually without authentication enables send and receive to work OK.
    If i try to set up the second account automatically, Mail crashes.
    If I set it up manually and choose 'No Authentication', Mail crashes.
    If I set it up manually and choose 'Authentication Required' and enter the full email address as the User Name together with password, Mail crashes.
    If I set it up manually and choose 'Authentication Required' and enter the first part of the email address together with password, Mail crashes.
    However, if I set it up manually and choose 'Authentication Required' and enter the first part of the email address as User Name and no password, Mail accepts it and sets up the account.
    At this point the account receives mail but cannot send it.
    If I go into the Mail preferences and try to edit the outgoing server details, Mail will not accept no Authentication.
    I eventually found that if I uncheck the 'Always Use This Server' box, all account then use the server on the first account, which is correctly set up.
    Now I have my four email accounts all able send and receive.
    One little concern remains. In Outlook Express I could look at the properties of a received email and see what address it had come from, together with many other details. I haven't found out yet whether this can be done in Mail. I just wonder whether if I reply to some email, it will appear to have come from a different address from the one it was sent to.
    Thanks again for all the inputs.

  • Transferring email addresses from one account to another

    I'm not sure if this is a good place to post this but after spending a good bit of time on the phone with FiOS customer service and technical support I just feel like venting my frustrations and hope that maybe someone could give me a valid explanation of why this cannot be done.
    To give a brief (hopefully) summary of what's going on...
    My wife and I are currently in the process of moving from Florida to Maryland because of the current job market and economy situation.  As always...the moving process has been a "blast".  For at least a few months we will be "between" homes and will be staying with friends.  Because of this we had to cancel our FiOS service (which I did last week and it will be shutting off sometime today).  Since we've been very please with the actual service FiOS provides we have (or maybe I should say "had") every intention of signing back up with Verizon once we're in a new home in the Maryland area.
    So here's where the trouble comes into play...I contacted Verizon to see if it would be possible to somehow transfer our existing Verizon.net email addresses from our account to my friend's account (the person I'm staying with).  You would've thought I was asking for a year's worth fo free service.  Initially I was told by customer service that this can't be done.  They explained that an email address is like a phone number and two separate accounts cannot have the same email address.  Thanks for the newsflash!  I explained again that what I wanted to do was move my email addresses so they would now be associated with my friends account.  This didn't seem like such a horrible request considering my friend pays for FiOS service and with that gets 9 available email addresses....and was only using 2 of them.  She ultimately just told me it was something that couldn't be done.  But she did inform me of the "Verizon Your Domain" service that would allow current FiOS subscribers to associate their Verizon.net email account with a new domain name that you create.  It would cost $20 per year and would allow you to keep your Verizon.net email if you canceled FiOS service.  This sounded like an ok option.
    But still -- I was curious why I couldn't transfer email addresses.  So I then contacted technical support.  This time it was explained to me that an email address was like a social security #.  It couldn't just be given to another person.  Great analogies in use at Verizon....I give them that.  I told the guy I was a fellow "techie" and asked him for a more detailed explanation.  That's when it got good.  That's what killed me.  He spent all this time talking about ACL's and routing and how email addresses couldn't be moved because "you're talking about 2 million addresses".  Long and short he was trying to say the Verizon email system was just too complex.  Finally I told him that it had to be something that could be done....and his exact words were "well sure it can be done...but we're not going to do it if you're not paying for a service".  Wow!  Great response!  I've been a paying customer of FiOS for about two years.  I've had some form of service with Verizon for about 15 years (from phone service to mobile service with V-Wireless).  I fully understand that I'm no longer paying for FiOS service.  But my friend is.  And he has 7 email accounts he's not using.  So why couldn't they be moved?  Because the system is too complex?  Give me a break.  Like this guy finally admitted...it boils down to money.
    Finally I gave up.  I told my wife that we'd just have to deal with switching to a new email address.  Life will move on.  She wanted to try the "Verizon Your Domain" option though.  She started doing the process online...had some questions....and decided to call customer service.  She got transferred around to three different people...the last of which told her "you need to call a different department" and then CLICK. 
    Great, great job Verizon.  All I ask is if someone could give me some sort of response that makes sense.  If you just don't want to offer the transfer option then tell me. 
    I expect to be in a new home within a month or two.  And suddenly Comcast is looking very good.

    Well, CS was right when they said that Verizon cannot transfer your email to another account. In order to do that they would have to overwrite the email of your friend ( I dont think your friend would apreciate that ). This is due to a limitation on the email system.
    However, you may have another option. If you are going to be getting Verizon service again in the realitivly near future (4-8 weeks or so), Then after your acount is closed, contact tech support. If you get the right agent they will "enable" your email. That way you can continue to use it even though you dont have service any more. Now they cant do this for long but for temporary it can be done. Then once you get your service back, they can then move your existing email to your new account. (this can now be done as they will overwrite your new email with your old).
    Now if your going to be without Verizon service for more than a couple months, you may be out of luck but this is one option
    umm, oh bhoy!
    In fact, a "repoint" of an email address CAN be completed onto another account AND it does not overwrite anything on the receiving account.    Each acount, whether its a FiOS account or a copper account, has an account number.   The email address is assigned to the account number.    The email address can be "repointed" from one account to another, as an 'add-on' to the new account, then it can be 'repointed' back to another account later.    HOWEVER, the contract does say that you must have a valid account.  AND, Verizon cannot (no company can) allow you to manipulate someone else's account.  
    as to the "after your acount is closed, contact tech support. If you get the right agent they will "enable" your email", well, the fact is that the account has to be provisioned to an address.   So, though I have come accross accounts that seemed to still be "on" after the listed close date, it was not something that verizon's tier 1 tech support can effect (that's who you get on the phone when you call tech support) (note that 'sales' could not do this for you, either)   So good luck with that.
    What happens is that Verizon will not allow anyone to take your email addresses for at least 6 months. 
      Before you cancelled you may have had an option to have a notice auto-replied to any email that gets sent to your email address, for a limited amount of time, like they can do with a telephone number ("this number has been changed to . . . . . ")  that "this email address is temporarily suspended, or something. . . . I said MAY have had the opportunity. .. .   but if it was me, I would get to where you are going and make sure they have Verizon internet account already   and have them call verizon tech support (so they can verify their account info)  with you standing there so that you can verify your old account info and immediately and plainly ask if you can have an email "repoint" done for you.

  • Hi, I use two email addresses within one account with gmx.  I created one account with the first email address now. How do I add the second one to this account? Now it looks like this. One account was opened with address A. I receive in this account email

    Hi, I use two email addresses within one account with gmx.
    I created one account with the first email address now. How do I add the second one to this account?
    Now it looks like this.
    One account was opened with address A.
    I receive in this account emails for address A and B.
    But I can only write and answer with address A.

    Hi Rudegar,
    Sorry for my late reply.
    It s not the amount of accounts I'm struggling with.
    When I create now for both email addresses one account, then I receive the same emails two times.
    That is not what I want.
    Because on gmx the two email addresses have the same inbox and outbox.
    E.g. I can login to my gmx account either with email A or B. It doesn't matter.
    Now I want to have the same on my ipad.
    One account with both email addresses.

  • How do I set up an email address from a proxy server?

    How do I set up an email account on mu phone that has a proxy server?

    These steps typically resolve the issue:
    1. Press the ePrint button on the printer's front-panel screen (top row of icons, far left button), then press "Print Report".
    2. Head over to the ePrintCenter website (http://www.eprintcenter.com/), and log in (or sign up for a new account if you don't have one).
    3. Click the "+Add Printer" button and enter the printer code from the ePrint info page (“Print Report” page from step 1). Create a customized ePrint email address.
    I just viewed the website on my computer, and it appears to be working okay on my end. It's possible that there's a setting in your web browser responsible for what you're seeing. I would recommend trying the following steps:
    1. Try to view the site in a different web browser to see if that's the issue. Normally, Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Firefox, and Safari all display the website properly. Try one or two of those (other than the one you've been using) and it should do the trick.
    2. If that doesn't work, try resetting Internet Explorer's default settings by clicking "Tools" (on the top menu bar), "Internet Options" (usually at the bottom of that list), "Advanced" (far-right tab), and "Reset" (towards the bottom-right of that box). After resetting the defaults, try viewing the ePrint Settings area again.

  • How do I remove an email address from an account?

    Every time I turn my iphone off and on again, it asks me to log into icloud and other apps that I set up with an old email address. That old email address has now been removed from my itunes account and replaced, and I no longer use the old one at all. However, when I go into my itunes account, it doesn't say anything about my old email address still being on there. How do I remove my old email from icloud without losing my apps or my current itunes account details?

    Just what did you do? There is only one email address for one Apple ID but yo can have an alternate email address to use to contact Apple.

  • I need to speak with someone about adding an email address and removing an email address from our account

    The office manager that set up our email account is no longer with the company and I have to add an email address and remove an email addess. She had a secure password and I can't remove it. Is there any way to get around this or do I need to completely erase and start over losing all my contacts? We have also changed email servers and I can't get anything to send or receive. Please help!!!

    I would start by saving your address book(s). See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/standalone-address-book then export your addresses using LDIF format.
    Since servers and accounts are all different, it would seem best to start with a fresh profile. Look at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-tb#w_how-to-find-your-profile and then with TB not running, delete that file. Restart TB and it will create a new profile. Add your new accounts to that. You can import your saved address book.

  • Transferring primary email address from one account to another account. Possible?

    Hi, I created my email address back in 2001 while still living with my parents. Since it was the first address to be created on the account, it has become the primary account address. Since then, I have used this email address for EVERYTHING. Credit cards, online subscriptions, social media, multiple websites that I operate... it is now a deeply-rooted part of my online presence. 
    However, I moved out and opened my own Comcast internet account in 2005, complete with a new primary email address. This hasn't been an issue, as my parents have stayed in the same place since then, and continued using the same Comcast account.
    The problem now is that they are preparing to move in a few months, and their Comcast account will be cancelled (and my precious email address with it!) I'm hoping there is a way to move my old email (the primary email address on my parents' account) over to my current account. I have not yet contacted Comcast customer support, as I don't want to accidentally have one or both of the accounts involved cancelled! 
    I suppose what I hope to learn here is what I would need to do to make this switch happen. Who should I call (I've read that the basic Comcast customer service line may not be able to do much for me...)?

    For this the account holder of the email will have to contact us to submit a transfer of email to a new account. If the names are different on each account, one of our advance techs will later call back and get both account owners on the line in order to authorize the switch. It can be done, but the whole process can take 3-5 days to be completed. Once ticket is submitted by call center agent, it usually takes 24-48 hours for the advance techs to contact you. Let me know if you need any more details on this. -FC 

  • Adding multiple email addresses to same account

    Hello,
    I am trying to add another email address to my exisiting email account (using Mail). I walked through the steps in Mail Help - I entered the addresses in the email field separated by a comma. Example: Steve1@ sbc.com, [email protected]
    I Saved. When I write an email to the new address Steve2 and cc my exisitng address, Steve1. I only receive mail to Steve1.
    Any suggestions would be helpful.
    Thanks.

    After giving up to figure this out and talking with
    a rep who
    could not figure it out, I did create a new account
    in Mail, so
    now I have steve1 and steve2 accounts in the Mail.
    Now it works
    but I am still puzzled as to why I cannot add
    multiple addresses
    to one account, as instructed in Mail Help.
    SBC's term "sub account" must not be an "alias"
    account by definition.
    As previously provided, an alias account/address
    shares the same user name and password as the primary
    account/address.
    If an SBC "sub account" does not share the same user
    name and password as the primary email
    account/address, it must be created as a separate
    email account in Mail.
    The user name for an email account is usually the
    portion of the email address in front of the "@" sign
    only but for some, it is the entire email address.
    This depends on the ISP or email account provider.
    Since you were able to create the "sub account" as
    separate email account in Mail, is the user name for
    the primary account steve1 and the user name for the
    "sub account" steve2?
    Yes. Your comment below clears this up.
    Thank you for the help.
    If so, this "sub account" is definitely not an
    "alias" account and cannot be created in Mail as an
    alias account because it is not an alias.

  • How do I cancel one itunes account so that I can use the email address from that account on my current account?

    I have had my itunes account connected to my work email address for the past few years.  I am now changing jobs and I am trying to change the email account connected to my itunes account.  When I entered my personal email account it says there was already an account associated with that email address but I've never used it for anything since I created it a long time ago.  Is there a way to cancel that account so that my personal email address is free to use on my current account that I currently have linked to my work email address?

    Maybe he's referring to renaming another iTunes Store account after making the email address null and available to be used. Otherwise, I agree with you that it is pointless.

  • Move Verizon E-mail address from one account to another

    I am wondering if it is possible to move an email address from one account to another. I am the primary account holder for a couple of email addresses - one of which is my mother-in-law. I am discontinuing my Verizon account but she has since started a Verizon FIOS account at her house. I'd like to move her email address to her account so the switch for her is painless (or as painless as possible). Thanks, in advance, for your help.

    Yes and No. As of right now they will not move email address unless the name on both accounts match exactly.

  • I have 3 email addresses with my ISP.  How do I set up my iPhone to receive emails addressed from any one of these addresses

    I have 3 email addresses with my ISP.  How do I set up my iPhone to receive emails addressed from any one of these addresses

    Even though they share the same incoming and outgoing server settings, each is a distinct account, so you just need to set up 3 accounts on your iPhone, one for each email address.
    Or, since these are all from the same ISP, do they have online account management tools to let you forward two of those to the one account you want to be the "master" account?  You still may want separate accounts on your iPhone though, as an account can only have one address associated with it for the "reply" field when responding to emails.

  • Can two Iphones have the same account/email address?

    Can two iphones have the same account/email address? I bought two phones-one for my wife and the other for myself. They are both under the same account /itunes account /email address-Would this cause a conflict with the two phones?

    No, as long as you want to share the same account for iCloud's services like Mail, Calendars, Contacts, Reminders, Notes, iCloud, Documents etc.
    I personally would create two accounts so that everyone could have and use  heir own mail account, address book, create meetings, reminders etc. without reading and deleting stuff of the other person.
