Want multiple email accounts to download into 1 inbox
''locking this thread as duplicate, please continue at [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1033197 /questions/1033197]''
I have 5 email addresses, but I don't want to have 5 inboxes. Is there anyway to have all these email accounts download into one inbox?
Hi,
What are the types of your accounts?
Normally, you can add multiple accounts in one Outlook profile. Click Start > Control Panel > Mail. Select the profile you created, click the Add button to
add an account.
If you are using multiple Exchange accounts, things are a little different. Check this article for help:

I have multiple email accounts in my iPhone 4. Before the 6.0 update... I could select what account to send from each time. Now it's a default. Do I have to go change the email default setting everytime I want to send an email from a different account?
In Mail Preferences/Accounts/each GMail account, set up the SMTP Outgoing Server for each account separately, going into SMTP name/edit/Advanced and specify the Username of each account. The Outgoing servers must be two different servers, authenticated by the Username and Password of each.
Otherwise, the GMail SMTP server will change the from address to that of the account where the SMTP server was setup.

Multiple email accounts in one inbox on iPhone?
I have multiple email accounts set up on iPhone 3GS. Is it possible to view messages from all of them in a single inbox rather than having to check each individual inbox?
ThanksYou're welcome.
Sorry, I received a call and must have hit the Post Message button before I intended.
Here is my full reply.
+In a word, no - not at the present time anyway.+
+A blended Inbox mailbox for all accounts is supported with the Mail.app on a Mac. You can open Inbox to reveal the Inbox mailbox for each account. When selecting the Inbox mailbox for a particular account, only the messages received by that account are available in the message list. When selecting Inbox, all messages received by all accounts are available in the message list. The same applies to Drafts, Sent, Trash, and Junk for all accounts.+
+Hopefully Apple has at least considered or is working on this or something similar with a future firmware update.+ -
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. -
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");
Folder folder = null;
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));
folder = session.getFolder(server);
// this message always show the same number of messages
System.out.println("folder retrieved for " + serverString + ", with " + folder.getMessageCount() + " messages");
return folder;
// this method is to get the messages from the folder
public static void getEmailWithSubjectContaining(String emailUrl, String username, String password,
String regex, String filepath, boolean addPrefix, boolean delete)
throws Exception {
Folder folder = getMailFolder(emailUrl, username, password);
if (folder == null) return;
folder.open(Folder.READ_WRITE);
Message[] msgs = folder.getMessages();
// Here is my problem, the msgs.length always returns the same value
// which is the number of messages that the first email account has
System.out.println("Totally there are " + msgs.length);
for (int i = 0; i < msgs.length; i++) {
String pathToSave = filepath;
String subject = msgs.getSubject();
System.out.println("Email subject: " + subject);
// examine if the message should be dumped and deleted
if (!subject.matches(regex)) {
System.out.println("Email subject doesn't match regex: " + regex + ", this email is ignored.");
continue;
Part p = (Part) msgs[i];
// p.getFileName();
if (addPrefix) {
pathToSave = filepath + "/" + getFilenamePrefix(subject);
// this method call is to save the attachment
dumpAttachment(p, pathToSave);
msgs[i].setFlag(Flags.Flag.DELETED, delete);
folder.expunge();
folder.close(false);
// this method calls getEmailWithSubjectContaining using a loop
public static void getEmailWithSubjectContaining(String dbUsername, String dbPassword, String dbUrl) throws Exception {
Connection con = null;
if (dbUrl == null || dbUrl.equals("")) dbUrl = "jdbc:mysql://localhost/email_util";
try {
// here is just simply get the Database connection
con = MySqlJDBCConnection.getConnection(dbUsername, dbPassword, dbUrl);
Statement s = con.createStatement();
String sql = "SELECT * FROM email_fetching_config WHERE active = 1";
ResultSet rs = s.executeQuery(sql);
while (rs.next()) {
String protocol = rs.getString("protocol");
String url = rs.getString("url");
String box = rs.getString("email_box");
String username = rs.getString("username");
String password = rs.getString("password");
String regex = rs.getString("sub_regex");
String path = rs.getString("save_to");
String prefix = rs.getString("append_prefix");
boolean delete = rs.getBoolean("delete");
String emailUrl = protocol + "://" + username + "@" + url + "/" + box;
boolean addPrefix = (!prefix.equals("") || prefix != null);
System.out.println("Ready to grab emails from " + emailUrl + ", path to save is: " + path);
try {
getEmailWithSubjectContaining(emailUrl, username, password, regex, path, addPrefix, delete);
} catch (Exception ex) {
} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
} finally {
MySqlJDBCConnection.close();
********* Authenticator *******
class MailAuthenticator extends Authenticator {
private String username;

public MailAuthenticator() {
public MailAuthenticator(String username, String password) {
this.username = username;
this.password = password;
public PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
return new PasswordAuthentication(this.username, this.password);
This is all my program doing, anyone knows what the program is? thanks for your help!
regardsAssuming 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. -
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 using MS Mail
I want to setup multiple email accounts using MS mail. My already has an account, but I want to add an account for my son. I've added the account on verizon and in MS mail. However, I want to have completly separate accounts so that when my son opens his email he only see his email and when my wife opens her email, she only sees her email. Right now, when MS mail is opened both their emails come up and when they send an email, they must select which email account they are sending from.
Does anyone know how to do this?One option would be to not use MS Mail (I assume you really mean Windows Live Mail?). You could create accounts for them and have them just use the Web mail interface to get to their mail.
Another option would be to give each person their own "user account" on your machine instead of all logging into the computer as the same userid. If you do this, any mail settings will remain with the individual account. -
Setting up multiple email accounts on multiple .mac accounts
There are three of us in the household, all with our own .mac accounts (created off of one master account) and our own usernames on this computer. I have set up multiple email accounts and am having trouble getting those accounts organized into Mail. Can I set it up such that each user can access his/her email when logged into his/her respective area on this mac? For example, I want to be able to log in as myself and read my email, then let my wife log into her area and read her email. I have tried and really messed it up. We can read mail but not send it. When i try to send a message pops up informing me that "cannot send message using the server (server name here). Try again later."
Can I set it up such that each user can access his/her email when
logged into his/her respective area on this mac? For example, I want
to be able to log in as myself and read my email, then let my wife log
into her area and read her email.
Yes and this is how it should be done with each user's email account only created in Mail under their computer login account so each user's email along with all other data is kept separate and protected in their own home folder/directory. Of course this only works when disabling automatic login.
Who is your ISP used for connecting to the internet and is each user/family member also accessing an email account that is provided by your ISP?
Something to try first and this must be done with the .Mac SMTP server in Mail for each user's login account.
Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Account Information tab for the .Mac account preferences at the SMTP server selection, select the Server Settings button below.
Enter 587 in place of 25 in the Server Port field and when finished, select OK to save the changed setting. -
Dealing with multiple email accounts
I have 3 email accounts set up (say inboxA, inboxB, inboxC). Each time I go to my mail, I see all 3 inboxes there, but after 2-5 seconds, get automatically taken into inboxB. Why? What if I want to check inboxA first? Shouldn't I be able to select which inbox I want to go into?

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 anticipationI 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). -
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.

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. -
Multiple email accounts and mail check frequency
If I understand correctly, I can have multiple email accounts on the iPhone, one for work, one personal for example. Is it possible to have distinct update settings, or to easily take one offline? Say I don't want my work email retrieved during the weekend. We're all set to do the family thing with iPhones, but this question came up. With my Treo I frequently turn only one or the other of the accounts on, depending on what I'm doing.
How distinct are the accounts? I assume the mail is in separate accounts as on the desktop?
ThanksThanks. That's good news.
In Mail app I have one account, with two different "from" addresses set. I select the proper address depending if I'm writing family or a mailing list. Is that same feature available as it is on the desktop?
