Using Aliases to deliver mail to multiple accounts

I'm looking at OS X Server as a possible email server upgrade from an OLD Linux box.  On our current server we have aliases setup to archive all incoming and outgoing email to another account. That one account then checks email via POP and then it is archived on another client computer for record keeping and CYA. It looks like this:
[email protected]     user, archive
[email protected]     user2, archive
etc....
Can this be done on OS X Server as well?  I can't really tell from searches on the net or in the forums.
Many thanks!

Yes, it can. In Server Admin's mail settings, there's an option to copy all mail to a certain address you specify.

  • HT4897 Using aliases with icloud mail

    When using aliases in icloud mail is there a way the recipient does not see your real icloud email address?  Right now when using an aliase the recipient get my real email address in the header of the message and it was sent on behalf of the the aliase.

    Hello KYMP0R,
    Using an alias should conceal your actual iCloud email address, even in the headers of messages sent. You may need to verify that you are sending messages from that alias. In order to send a message from your alias, select that address in the From field when composing a message.
    Send a message from a different account. Tap the From field to choose an account.

  • How can you select the "from" in Mail with multiple accounts?

    Is there a simple dropdown to select the "From" field in Mail when using multiple accounts?
    All I can find is a support page saying From is defined by the email account that is highlighted and active.
    Thanks

    Hoo,
    When you hover your mouse over your name in the from field it presents a little arrow. Click it and it lets you select who you are sending an email as.
    Also if your reading an email that you got say to your @iCloud.com email when you hit compose it will automatically select your @iCloud.com email to compose your email.
    Hope that helps,

  • HT5312 Can I use the same rescue email for multiple accounts?

    I have multiple accounts and would like to use the same rescue email address. I've already verified the first account, but when I try to add another account a message says it's already verified for another Apple id.

    I haven't tried it, but the message that you are getting implies that you can't. The rescue email address that I have on one account is the same as the primary email address that I have on another account - that's an alternative.

  • Filter mail from multiple accounts

    Spam has become a real issue for me, and I get a lot of spam messages which get through both the spam assassin filter from my host and get through the "intelligent" filtering in mac mail.  However, some of these messages come in identical or nearly identical either multiple times, or into multiple accounts.  So, what I want is a filter (or script) which can detect that there are identical messages which were received on multiple accounts.  I never receive valid emails on multiple accounts - so detecting identical subject and/or sender and then automatically junking both copies of the message would cut 20-40% of the spam which is currently getting through filters.  Is there a way to do this?

    If all email accounts are provided by the same provider, are the 4 additional accounts alias accounts with the provider?
    An alias account to a primary account shares the same user name and password in addition to the same incoming mail server as the primary account.
    If each of the 4 additional email accounts require and have a different user name, you cannot create the additional accounts as alias accounts to or with the primary account with the Mail.app or with any email client.
    When creating separate accounts in Mail, each account has its own Inbox, Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk mailbox (when Junk Mail is set to automatic) but you can view received messages by all accounts by selecting Inbox in the mailboxes drawer. When opening Inbox in the mailboxes drawer revealing the account named Inbox mailbox for each account, selecting an account named Inbox mailbox reveals messages received by that account only in the message list. When selecting Inbox in the mailboxes drawer reveals a blended Inbox mailbox for all accounts and the same applies to Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk in the mailboxes drawer.

  • When I purchased my iphone they told me I couldn't use my personal e-mail (a collegiate account) on my iphone?  Is this true? I am currently using that account on itunes as well.

    I just purchased my first smartphone yesterday, an iphone 4s. I can't figure out how to adjust the settings so that I only connect to Wifi. Also, the agent who sold me the phone told me I couldn't use my collegiate e-mail on my phone. This is the same e-mail I have my itunes under?  Thoughts? Suggestions?

    Thank you thank you!  The customer service rep was not helpful at all and didn't go over anything.
    Is there someway to restrict my phone to only use wifi and not broadband? Or is there any way to tell how much of my data plan I have used?

  • Delivering Mail to Multiple users from Consolidated External Mailbox

    Hi everyone
    I'm new to the use of postfix, spamassassin and so on to send and recieve email. On PCs when setting up a small server at home, or with students to demonstrate some of the issues involoved I've used the rather nicely set up Mercury Mail system.
    Now I have my own MacMini with OSX Server 10.6.x on it and want to do the same things as I used to do.
    POP email from my ISP. The ISP email boxes act as central consolidation points for two or more domains.
    Because my DSL connection may be allocated a different IP address when it drops, it has been easier to direct mail this way.
    Mail to @mydomain.com and @anotherdomain.com all go to one mailbox at the ISP (thanks to my DNS registry).
    Mail may also be retrieved from a GMail account via POP3 or similar to be consolidated on the server/backed up locally.
    What I need to do:
    - Mail needs to be retrieved from the mailboxes
    - Mail needs to be checked for SPAM level and marked as SPAM as needed
    - The OSX server via Postfix (?) needs to redirect mail to the appropriate OD user
    - If no appropriate user detected then mail is copied to the postmaster account and bounced.
    I have seen various tutorials out there for fetchmail/mpop out there but found them a tad confusing.
    I have also seen replacement software, but I want to make use of the built in systems such as fetchmail to do what I want.
    It would also be nice to have the passwords stored in the keychain for a little more security.
    Can anyone help with a suitable guide or willing to help me write a guide to tell people how to do this?
    Cheers
    Ady

    OK so I have found from various sources, and through trial and error that I am able to do the following in a shell script:
    --- start script ---
    user=<ISP USERNAME>
    isp=<ISP NAME>
    server=<SERVER NAME AT ISP eg mail>
    TMPFILE=`mktemp /tmp/fm.XXXXXX` || exit 1
    password=$(security find-internet-password -s $server.$isp -a $user -g 2>&1 | perl -ne '/password: "(\S*)"/ and print $$
    cat <<EoF > $TMPFILE
    set postmaster '<LOCAL POSTMASTER ACCOUNT>'
    set bouncemail
    poll $server.$isp with proto POP3 and options no dns
    user "$user" there with password '$password'
    options fetchall keep mda '/usr/bin/procmail -d %T'
    EoF
    fetchmail -v -f $TMPFILE
    rm -f $TMPFILE
    --- end of script ---
    thanks to http://serverfault.com/questions/149452/how-can-i-use-fetchmail-or-another-email -grabber-with-osx-keychain-for-authenti
    and for the autostart fetchmail on boot from http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2218143&tstart=225
    making this executable and putting in the /etc folder as run-fetchmail is the first step
    Now this works to deliver messages to the local mail, but you need to access it via the terminal - hmmm...
    the fetchall is to grab all the messages even read ones whilst I test...
    so I tried removing the mda section so it used the default mda on snow leopard, but the message are not being delivered to the respective users mail.app accessible mailboxes.
    I will add daemon to the file once I have the fetching working correctly
    so - how on earth do I get the mail to be delivered to the Mail.app accessible mail delivery agent?

  • Outgoing server settings for MAC MAIL with multiple accounts?!

    if i got paid to do this, my outgoing mail server issues would be somewhat amusing but as it stands they are really extremely annoying.
    i have multiple email accounts (multiple addresses with multiple hosts - gmails, domain based email, me.com address etcetera).
    does ANYONE know if there is an FAQ on what is recommended with respect to the settings on whether to tell mail to ONLY USE the one outgoing server and/or anything with the other settings?
    i feel like i am in a pachinko parlor when i send mail because there is constantly an error of some kind and then i try dropping the mail through a different outgoing server by selecting a different one from the list and i just do this until it goes out. oftentimes i don't find out it didn't go out until the NEXT DAY becasue i am working and this alert gets hidden behind my other windows where i do actual productive work.
    any ideas? i have two domain based websites (multiple emails with two SMTP addresses), two GMail accounts and me.com...
    THANKS!

    hi. CS. thanks.
    do you know what this does as a practical matter? i mean, is it NECESSARY to check this box? will it try other outgoing servers and NOT WORK if you don't check this box? conversely, will it NOT try other outgouing servers if this one is unavailable if i check this (presumably the answer is yes here). i mean - am i likely to run into fewer problems by checking this box and i assume it is necessary to use the OUTGOING SERVER of the actual domain you are trying to send mail from as opposed to - for example - using GMAIL outgoing server for everything because you think you will get less errors than sending from your email domain outgoing server.
    you know what i am saying? i mean, i get a bootload of errors and actually can't send mail these days even though Connection Doctor is telling me everything is hunky dory.
    also, what is meant by "Offline"? do i have to go in and tell it to take everything on line for some reason and is this totally separate (telling it to go online) from checking things in Connection Doctor?
    THANK YOU

  • From Address in iPhone Mail with multiple accounts

    If anyone has a multiple email accounts setup on their iPhone, can they confirm that when they reply to a message in one mailbox, it has the from address set as that account and doesn't use the same from address for every email account setup. Eg, if I have [email protected] and [email protected] setup and when it go into the CNN Inbox, choose a message, press Reply, it has [email protected] as the from/account its sending from and if I go into the BBC inbox, choose a message, hit reply, it has [email protected] as the reply/account its sending from?

    Jason
    I am haveing the same problem and the Apple IT people know less than me. Per above, In Yahoo! Mail Plus I have 5 different email addresses forwarded to my Yahoo! account. When I send an email I u can select which email I want to send from. As it is now, with the Iphone, all my emails send out using my @yahoo address. As you can imagine this is embarasing if someone send me an email from a lawfirm and my response comes from a yahoo! account.
    Can you help me?

  • Mail - Retrieveing Mail from multiple accounts

    I have multiple e-mail accounts, one for each family member (1 primary plus 4 for my kids) and would like to retrieve all e-mails to the same in-box (to keep track of my kids messages). Mail Help instructed to create aliases for my primary e-mail account. I went to Mail>Preferences>Account Information>E-Mail Address and listed the e-mail addresses separated by commas. After saving, then restarting my iBook, Mail will still only retrieve messages from the primary account, not any aliases. Where did I go wrong? Thanks.
    iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4)  

    If all email accounts are provided by the same provider, are the 4 additional accounts alias accounts with the provider?
    An alias account to a primary account shares the same user name and password in addition to the same incoming mail server as the primary account.

  • Receiving email on Mail from multiple accounts

    Have a Mail (1.3.11) account which has been working just fine for years. Also have a gmail accn't which some correspondents use, the emails from which I would like to receive when I open my regular Mail app. There is a Mail Help document: *Adding multiple email addresses to the same account* the instructions for which I think I've followed correctly, i.e., entered in the email address field the two accounts separated by a comma [Mail>Preferences>Accounts>Select specific account] and Saving these changes when closing the Preference Pane; yet my gmail msg's are only showing up in gmail and not in Mail. HELP. Thanks......

    There is no such thing as “Mail (1.3.11) accounts”. Mail is a standard POP & IMAP mail client, not an ISP. You can set up as many mail accounts in Mail as you wish as long as they allow POP or IMAP access, but the mail accounts themselves must be provided by someone else.
    Also, why are you following the instructions of Mail Help’s “Adding multiple email alias addresses to an account” article? What does the Gmail account have to do with the other mail account you already have? If they are different mail accounts (i.e. different User Name and Incoming Mail Server, you must set up them as separate accounts in Mail, not as multiple email addresses associated with the same mail account. How do you expect Mail to be able to access your Gmail account if you don’t tell Mail which incoming mail server the messages should be downloaded from?

  • Mail, passwords, multiple accounts and smtp

    When using mail with my first email account - no problems.
    Then, added mobile me...initially alright.
    Then my ISP changed their settings from mail. to smtp. for outgoing mail.
    But when I made the change, I can get it to work in mail for 1 email, then I get error messages about outgoing smtp server.
    I recently started a new email account. All settings work in Entourage. But in Mail, they do not work. It keeps asking me to input my password. Time and time again.
    It still does not work and I am absolutely sick of it
    Hours trying to get mail to work....it will work with my mobile me account, but not any of the others.
    I have deleted the accounts, re-created the accounts, triple checked every single setting in preferences. Why can't mail handle more than 1 account?
    Help, please, because I don't want to have to change to Entourage.

    First thing that I would suggest is that you doublecheck your accounts' preferences and make sure that for each account, that you are using the smtp server that you think that you are, that the server name is correct, that the port number information is correct, that the SSL/no SSL setting is correct, and that the authentication method is correct. I have seen in these forums where people had all the smtp servers in the smtp list, but that one or two of the accounts inadvertently specified a server associated with one of the other accounts. Also, you might try launching Keychain Access (in the Application folder's Utilities folder) and run Keychain First Aid, and if that doesn't help, delete any keychain entries associated with the troublesome smtp server(s). Next time you try to send Mail, it will ask for a password again, with some luck, it will work that next time.

  • See mail from multiple accounts

    I could have sworn that when I got my iPhone I could see my mail from all my accounts. Then I played with preferences and I am stuck with the one I selected as default. Is it possible to see all accounts?

    If you have multiple email accounts, you have to go into each one individually, then into the inbox, to see emails for that account. There is no summary view that shows all the emails from all the accounts in one screen.
    I went over to the iPhone feedback page and left them a message suggesting that as a future enhancement.

  • HT201303 Can I use the same Visa card for multiple accounts?

    Can I use the same Visa card for mine and also my partners apple account? Or is it one card can be linked to only one account?

    You can use one card for a few account. I would believe it you attempted to use it on too many accounts (5+), it may cause some issues. But using the same card on two accounts is fine.

  • Problems with Sent mail and multiple accounts on the same server

    I have 2 different email accounts that are on the same server. Regardless of the account from which I send the email, all of the sent messages end up in the same sent folder. Is there a way to force the sent messages to go into their correct Sent folder?

    In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/. With that folder open, do Edit > Select All (⌘A), then Edit > Copy (⌘C), and paste it in your reply to this post, to let me see the names of the files and folders present at the root level of the Mail folder.
    Before actually posting that information, you may edit it so that the file/folder names do not reveal any details you wish to keep private, e.g. you may replace any real username with "username" to hide your real email address if you wish; similarly, you may disguise any domain names you don't want to be revealed. Try to be consistent in how you disguise those details, though, as we may need to refer to them in subsequent posts.
    Now, go to ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/. With that folder open, repeat the process to let me see the names of the files and folders it contains. Again, you may disguise any mailbox names you wish to keep private. Be careful to not alter any suffixes, though.
    Finally, for the two accounts involved in the problem, locate the account folders within ~/Library/Mail/ -- their name begins with the account type (POP, IMAP, Mac), followed by the account username and the incoming mail server. For each account folder, repeat the process to let me see the names of the files and folders it contains.
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user's home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the file path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the file path there.
