Two Separate Mail Accounts w/Two Separate Address Books?

I want to set up two separate mail accounts with two separate address books. I've been using Mail for several years and love it. My wife has been with AOL but now wants to move to Mail.
Is there a way to have two separate accounts, two address books, and two separate Mail icons to click to open, so we aren't tempted to look at each other's incoming/outgoing mail? Also, our address books are very different and we'd rather not intermingle them.

Hi StacheCache!
She could also retrieve her AOL Email online, without a separate User Account on your shared Mac.
She would log in to AOL Webmail using her AOL Screen Name and password.

Can you have two separate icloud accounts for two iphones that sync with the same imac?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Yes and no.
There is no issues at all if you use two user accounts on the mac, each can sync with one of the accounts.
If you are using a single user account, you can add the second account as a secondary account in settings > mail, contacts and calendars and you can then sync mail, contacts, calendars, notes and reminders from the second account, but not documents and data, back to my mac or photostream.

I have two separate itune accounts under two different email accounts and would like to combine them under one account. Is this possible and if so, how do I do it?

If you go to Settings > iTunes & AppStore , you can sign out from your account, and sign in with the one you've used to purchase apps.This will not remove any apps you already have on it.
Then you can go to AppStore and download apps you've purchased (either via "Purchased" button in "Updates", or simply search for them and download them.
That way you can have multiple accounts' apps on your iPad. When updating, you will be prompted for the credentials for account you've purchased given App with.

How to create and switch between two different Mail accounts.

Dear Apple,
My wife and I share the same computer and the same single user account.
Sharing contacts, calendar, music and pictures in fine, but we would like two separate Mail accounts.
Is there a way to setup two Mail accounts with two separate mailboxes and switch between them manually?
Regards,
Stephan

Ok, I'm confused. If you have 2 accounts set up -- for example, "[email protected]" and "[email protected]" -- then you go to the "Accounts" tab on Mail->Preferences, and set them up, giving each one a name which distinguishes it from the other. Maybe "AOL" and "gmail" or "foo" and "bar" or your first names, whatever.
Then, if you select the line that says "Inbox" you will see mail from both accounts interleaved together. If you fold down the triangle thingy next to the word "Inbox" then two lines will appear, one for each account. If you click on one of those lines then your display will only show the mail from that mailbox.

In an IPad 2, can the two different mail accounts be made private

In an IPad 2, can the two different mail accounts be made private?

StashPro is an app which can keep things private.
Photos/documents/videos can be kept private and private browsing is possible with this.
no matter what you are doing, pressing the home button or power button locks the application and can be opened only by a password set by you while others can access rest of the applications.
what i do is login to the mail program in the browser and leave it there. so, the moment you click on this app and give the password, you will be taken to your mail (on the website).
But the best part is that you can keep all sensitive documents hidden no matter how many people use it.
hope this helps. BTW, it costs less than 2 and half dollars and its worth it. Google StashPro and go to their website to look at additional features.
You can check the free version before buying the pro version.

I have two identical Mail accounts. How can I delete one without losing all the mail in both accounts?

I have two identical Mail accounts. Don't know how that happened -- the second one just showed up one day. If I try to delete one account, I get a warning that all mail in the accounts will be permanently lost. How can I delete one of the duplicate accounts without losing messages in both accounts?

Download the yahoo email app, if you already deleted and reinstalled the email account and still have issue.

Two e-mail accounts, only want audible notification for one of them

I have two e-mail accounts, account A is my corporate e-mail account, account B is the account I setup for blackberry.net ([email protected]). I have been trying without success to setup different alerts for different e-mail accounts. Basically, I want to turn on audible alerts for account B only, so that I can use the Blackberry as a paging device, only distributing that e-mail account for on-call paging.
Could someone please tell me if that's possible? At one time, I had alerting turned on, but it was for every e-mail, including corporate e-mail, so that was pretty much useless for my purposes.
NOTE: I have already tried bbalerts. As far as I can tell, it only alerts for Subject: and From: lines, not the To: line.
Please help

Did you change the volume setting as well?
It should be something like this for the settings:
Out of Holster: Tone
Ring Tone: (choose one)
Volume: (set to anything other than mute)
Make sure to save the settings.
The "in holster" settings are for when the phone is inside the leather holster usually provided with the phone. The holster has a magnet that, when it is detected by the phone, powers down the screen and locks the keyboard to save battery life.
Do a battery pull once you are done:
1. Remove the battery while phone is turned on
2. Wait a few seconds before inserting it again
3. Allow the long boot up process to finish (takes a few minutes usually)
This clears most software issues that occur on blackberries from time to time. You could also use Quickpull, a free app that simulates a battery pull without physically removing the battery: http://software.crackberry.com/product.asp?id=27660
A battery pull reclaims memory lost during application usage and clears minor software errors that creep in over time. The blackberry runs an OS just like your PC runs windows and the battery pull is the equivalent of a reboot/restart on your computer.

Suddenly my iCal has begun showing two lines for each birthday in my address book

Suddenly my iCal monthly view has begun listing two lines for each birthday from the address book. I didn't make any changes to the preferences. How do I return to one listing per birthday?

I've noticed this as well. I think it started with 10.7.4.

I have an iPhone 4s. Suddnely for past two days, the contact names from my address book are disappeared. Has anyone came across this issue earlier and know the solution please?

You had to have some kudos for the effort put in to your thread as week as the point you make.

Is there a way to send an e-mail to everyone in my address book WITHOUT typing/selecting each address in individually?

My old e-mail address is going to be discontinued and I need to notify everyone in my Mozilla Thunderbird address book. Is there a way to send an e-mail to everyone in my address book WITHOUT typing/selecting each address in individually?

Bonjour zmerill
Yes it is possible and simple to do.
- In the compose window of TB, display the address books on the left
- select the adress book you want
- select normally the first contact (left click)
- while pressing a shift key, select the last contact (--> all selected)
- just under the last contact, use the button you want.
In an address book it is also possible to create a mailing list.

Mail merge in Pages using Address Book - problem with fields

I am a fan of using the many of the Mac OS, iLife and other Apple applications together and just purchased iWork '09. I'd never done mail merges in previous versions of Pages, but I decided to try today with my Address Book data. I stumbled across some problems related to Address Book that have bothered me for some time and wonder if there is a simple go-around. Many of the cards in my Address Book have more than one line in the street address field. For example, they have street and street number in one line and the apartment number in the second. When Pages encounters such vCards in my Address Book, it doesn't know what to do and skips the next line of the address, which includes city, state and zipcode. I have also altered my Address Book template to include such things as the person's college (as I work with lots of college students), but this field is not recognized in Pages' mail merge feature. So, if I put the college name at the beginning of the street field in Address Book (which is what I have done until today), I can get excellent mail labels to print from Address Book, but I now I realize that this causes the mail merge problems in Pages described above. If I list the college elsewhere in the vCard, such as under the guise of "department" (an accepted field for mail merge in Pages), I lose the ability to get accurate mail labels in Address Book. Any ideas?

Page's Mail Merge doesn't show up any "Custom" fields in its list?

I have two google mail accounts, one is work, one is home. I prefer to keep things separate. On my iPad, formerly had no problem checking each account. Now when I log into either account, my poor iPad acts like its spinning its head.

I have two google email accounts - one is personal, the other professional. I like them being separate. Until a few days ago, my ipad could pull up either account I needed at the time. Now, though, when I try to pull up either account after signing in, the line above the blue line (sorry I'm new to this and don't know the terms) switches rapidly between the two account names and nothing appears below where the mail should be. What do I do? Thanks

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.
