Two users, one account, two separate email accounts

I recently upgraded my iMac 17" G5 to a 24" Core 2 Duo and I would like to set it up with one administrator account since it is only myself and my girlfriend that will be using this computer. Can I have this one user account and use Mail for both of our Mobile Me accounts, but not have Mail group everything into one inbox? I know I can set up the multiple accounts in Mail, but it then groups both of our inboxes into one. Is there any way to separate our Mail accounts without creating separate user accounts and having to switch each time one of us sits down?
Thanks

No. that's what separate user accounts are for. either use that or have all mail in the same inbox. however, the whole inbox has submailboxes fro each email account and those are separate.

Password protecting separate email accounts on one ipad

Is it possible to password protect separate email accounts on the same ipad?

Nothing that I know of will disallow deleting apps. I looked at the Restrictions Settings and nothing is there about prevent deletion of items. You can also enable a Passcode that requires you to enter a four digit code to unlock and use your iPad. The downside is that you have to enter the passcode when you want to use your iPad.

Am I able to synch separate email accounts/clients to different ipads?

Am I able to synch separate email accounts/clients to different ipads from the same machine?
Two users, each have an ipad. On the same machine. one user utilizes the Mac mail client, the other uses Outlook for Mac, both users using the same machine login and user profile. I want to synch my iPad's mail and folders to Outlook but leave the other iPad synching to the Mac Mail client.
How can I accomplish this?
Thanks in advance!

Well.. that is lame. IMHO, it shouldn't matter if I have POP or IMAP, so long as the data set is on the local machine it should synch my folders. I can't stand not being able to add folders on the ipad mail client..
anyway.. thanks very much.. though it's not the answer I hoped for I appreaciate it.

I have set up two users, one for myself and one for children. The computer automatically logs in for the children with no password required. When the children go to spotlight and type in a search criteria all of my files show up. How do I prevent this?

Log in to your account, and move all your files to your home folder. No other users should be able to access them there and they won't show up with a Spotlight search.
Make sure your kids' account(s) do not have admin privileges.

I have an iphone 3gs. I have 7 separate email accounts on the phone. Everytime I update, it reloads all of the emails as new unread emails. Is there any way to either delete all or alternatively stop it from reloading all prior emails?

I have an iphone 3gs. I have 7 separate email accounts on the phone. Everytime I update the phone, it reloads all emails received as new unread emails. I can click each one, move them to trash and then delete all. However, I am wondering whether there is any way to either (a) delete all from the inbox or (b) stop them from reloading?
Thanks

Hello Kizzyk,
I would start with taking a look at the settings to make sure that you are able to send and receive messages. If everything looks good then the next step would be to remove the accounts and add them back in. Take a look at the article below for more information and details on how to troubleshoot your issue further.

What does one do if your email account is hacked and an email is sent in your name asking for money

What does one do if your email account is hacked? Someone apparently has my email address and my contact list. They sent an urgent email to the address list saying I was stranded in Italy and to send money. Do I send am email to everyone in my address book telling them this is a hoax?

Hi, first change the passwords on your accounts, next I guess I would send a short note to your list.

My operating system is OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 Suddenly one (only) of my email accounts is not pulling in new emails. I ran the Connection Doctor which indicated all connections are ok. I am looking for another way to troubleshoot or a solution.

HT1386 How do I switch users on wifi sync for example my Mac has two users one apples MacBook pro the other is my name I want to switch from apples MacBook pro to my name how is this done?

How do I switch users on wifi sync for example my Mac has two users one apples MacBook pro the other is my name I want to switch from apples MacBook pro to my name how is this done?

Try connecting the iPad to the computer that you do not want to WiFi sync with and uncheck the WiFi sync option in iTunes. Then click on Apply. Reboot the iPad and see if that does the trick.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

Have two users one is a test one is mine all the sudden mine lost the applications folder and now when i open my user it opens but wont respond to anything and i have to power it down and restart any clues

I have two users one is mine, one is a test i set up with apple care. Everything was working fine then i lost my applications folder icon on my user. I have been using the Finder to open applications, now when i open my user the mouse travels but i'm not able to get a respond from anything ,it's almost like its frozen. I have power off and restart and use the test user. Anyone have a clue or any ideas?

You can find the serial number either in About this Mc in the Menu bar under the , or it should be on a sticker under the foot of the machine.
If you have the install discs, try booting from them, holding down the c key and then using Disk Utility to check the drive.
You can also boot into Safe mode
To start up into Safe Mode (to "Safe Boot"), do this:
   1. Be sure the computer is shut down.
   2. Press the power button.
   3. Immediately after you hear the startup tone, press and hold the Shift key.
      Tip: The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone but not before.
   4. Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple and progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
During the startup in Mac OS X 10.2 through 10.3.9, you will see "Safe Boot" on the Mac OS X startup screen.
During the startup in Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you will see "Safe Boot" on the login window, which appears even if you normally log in automatically.
Please post back with results,
To leave Safe Mode in any version of Mac OS X, restart the computer normally, without holding any keys during startup.

HT201320 I just update to iOS 7 and can't get separate email accounts

I just updated to iOS 7 on my iPhone and can no longer see my three separate email accounts. The only thing that comes up is All Mail which merges my three accounts. Anybody else having this problem?

I've had a simialr problem - but no love with the reset. I have also stopped itunes from syncing and then re-synced the accounts with no success - they all seem to be gone.
When I open the mail app it prompts me to add accounts but as I try to add them it says they are already there and indeed I can see them in settings but there seems to have been a disconnect somewhere when updating to ios7.

TS1424 it is asking me too verify my account but the email account it trys to send to is one i dont use or remember and i cant chan ge it to one of my active ones because i dont know how. help?!

One Macbook, two users, one email account

Is there anyway for two users who share use of a single macbook (two user accounts) to share a single email account using mail?
Conceptually, I imagine that this could be achieved by locating the mailboxes/folders in the public folder accessible by both users.
How do I change the settings within Mail to "point" to this folder?

Just some more notes for setting up the same mailaddress on two accounts:
1. If you use POP3 leave messages on the server - otherwise emails received by account A won't appear in account B. On the other hand, leaving mail on server may lead to overquota. If both accounts check on a regular basis, leave them on the server for e.g. 7 days.
2. I would prefer using IMAP, if supported by your mail provider. That way all folders and mails are stored serverside, and the displayed content will be the same for both accounts.

Two users, one account, two separate email accounts
