Why can't i add multiple email accounts to icloud mail, just like i can on my devices?

I am wondering, iCloud now has the iOS7 update and all the apps sync exactly the same way they do with my devices, even the app icons are identical. Then there is the Mail app, which doesnt allow me to "Add Accounts" from a third party like i can on my devices; making it useless for people like me with private domains. Even the Mail app icon is the same indicating that its the same as on devices, except it only allows you to use your @me and @icloud adress. Whats the deal?

I'd just add that iCloud has nothing at all to do with iOS 7. iOS 7 is an operating system for Apple's mobile devices. iCloud is a distributed computing email and storage service running on Apple's server farms scattered around the globe. iCloud does not "run on iOS" and in fact has nothing at all to do with iOS or OS X.
Apple makes clients and applications to access iCloud services from iOS, OS X and windows, but iCloud itself has nothing to do with any of these.

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.

Can I set up an email account in Mac mail if it already exists in mac for outlook?

Can I set up an email account in mac mail if it already exists in mac outlook or do I need to delete the outlook account first? I have tried to set it up and its not working.

Mail and Outlook are two different applications, so you can maintain the same account in both, incl sending and receiving.
What matters is that the setup is correct. E.g., is it a POP3 or IMAP account? By default, IMAP stores all mails on the (ISP's) server, while POP3 usually deletes it there after it's been received. So, with IMAP you'd easily have your mails everywhere, in every client, while with POP3 it's only in the client which you used most recently, so to speak.

Can i set up two emails accounts on the mail function tab and switch between them

I would like to be able to set up two email accounts on the mail tab on the Iphone 5 and switch between them, is this possible?

Yes it is possible to set up multiple accounts but you cannot switch between them in the mail app. What you can do in settings/mail etc is have one set as active an dthe other as inactive and you can change that from time to time if you want

Multiple email accounts in icloud

Hi, I've got a client who is currently using icloud calendar, google mail (for her business emails) and icloud mail for her personal emails.
I need to try and sync things up for her so that I can manage her accounts for her. What I would like to do, if possible, is the following:
Share her calendar with my calendar
Keep her private emails in icloud
Forward / copy her emails from google account to icloud mail so that they sit in a seperate inbox from her personal emails BUT, when she responds to the business emails from the icloud mail, the recipient still sees that it has come from the google mail address. (reason why I want her to move away from googlemail is because I don't think it's as tidy a system to use as icloud mail)
Is this possible - and if so, how do I do it because I can't seem to get any answer from other forums on here.
Thanks
Nikki

In fact you weren't using MobileMe to send 'From' the other account, you were using the web page to send using that account's SMTP server (MobileMe's own server only allowed the use of its own addresses).
That facility is not available in iCloud, and similarly you can send using only your @me.com/@mac.com address as the 'From' address.

HT201342 Can I forward my current email accounts to iCloud?

Can I forward my current email addresses to iCloud?

Email sent to your @me.com address doesn't need to be forwarded. It will arrive in the same inbox as your @icloud.com address. To forward email from other accounts to this address you will have to go the the webmail site for these accounts and set up email forwarding.

How can I set up multiple email accounts in one folder in Thunderbird?

Hello; first time poster here.
I own a business that has several email accounts. I am trying to create a folder (titled my business name), then set up all of the email accounts for my business so they all are in that one folder. I have tried for two days to figure this out and can't seem to do it.
I have been using Outlook, but it has too many whistles and bells and is way to slow, so I thought I'd give TB a try.
Can anyone explain IF this is possible, and if so, how can I do it?
Thanks in advance for any and all assistance.

How can I set up multiple email accounts on my nok...

Just got the E71x, it's awesome. I set up my Hotmail account on my Mail for Exchange or whatever that app is called. Can I set up my Gmail account as well? That's the more important account of the two. How do I set this up?

NME is a good alternative. In the beginning it was bugy and I stopped taking it onwards in my future considerations. Nowadays it is grown to a serious service. Def. something to count in your options!

How do I add a second email account in ICloud mail

How do I add a second email account to my iCloud mail, like a POP account?

I talked with Apple and they have taken away the ability to check other email addresses on iCloud like you could in MobileMe via POP or whatever.
Not sure why I would use iCloud if I can't check all of my email there, and I'm certainly not going to configure four POP accounts on my phone, my laptop, ipad, and work computer...
Bummer...I'm going back to Gmail.

Multiple email accounts in mac mail signatures

My boss uses Mac Mail with five different email accounts, each with an associated email signature.
When she composes an email, the "from" field defaults to whichever email account she used last, and its associated signature appears in the email. This is her issue since switching to Mavericks (not sure which version) : When she switches the "from" field from, say, her personal account to her legal practice account, both signatures appear in the email. In other words, the signatures don't switch when she switches accounts-- they just pile up at the end of the email.
Is there a setting that will allow her signatures to switch with the accounts, rather than her needing to go back and delete the additional signatures?

1. OK, so I see a menu of outgoing smtp servers. Does that replace the 'sent from' field or is it just using that server to send the message?
The SMTP server is unrelated to the 'from' address.
The pop-up menu referenced only exists if you have multiple accounts configured in Mail.app preferences - if you only have one account then there's no point in Mail.app offering the chance to choose which account to send from.
You should use Mail Preferences to create additional accounts, one for each email address you use. Each account can be linked to a specific SMTP and POP/IMAP server for sending and receiving mail for that address.
If you have multiple addresses that you use with a single SMTP/POP/IMAP account then you can use a single Account setup in preferences - just list each email address in a comma-delimited list in the 'email address' field. e.g. creating an account with 'email address' set to: '[email protected], [email protected]' will give you options for those two email addresses when you create a new message.

How to Sync Multiple email Account with iCloud

I have many email account over a local internet service provider and different hosting companie.
Is it possible to sync all my account over my MacBook, iMac, iPhone using icloud?
How can I do this?
Can you help?
Thank you,
BigBlaze

According the this: http://www.apple.com/mobileme/transition.html, "After moving to iCloud, family member accounts are no longer linked to the master account." You can share an iCloud calendar (see http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2690), but I don't think you will be able to share iCloud contacts unless you are signed into the same iCloud account on both phones.

HT1694 Changed password on email account, including in mail settings,and now can't send mail from iPad

My email account account(msn.com) was hacked so I changed my passwod at msn.com and then als0 changed it on myiPad under settings/mail.
Now I cannot send email or photos with email.
Suggestions? I only have an iPad as I am traveling.
I can send emails if I sign in through Safari.

Check the outgoing mail server setting. Make sure that your username and password are in there.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.

HT201320 Can I add multiple email accounts?

I have several yahoo mail accounts. I want to check all my emails from different accounts on my phone? Any helps?

Hello Coco_Skye,
Yes you can have multiple version of yahoo mail using the Mail App. You also have the option to go to the App Store and use the Yahoo Mail app which will support multiple mail accounts as well.

Since upgrading to iOS 5 I can no longer add/edit email accounts

Hello All,
I am completly stumped here, Since Upgrading to iOS 5 on my ipad 2 I can no longer access the "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" tab in settings, meaning I can't add my other mail accounts or change settings, and I'm needing to sort this now.
Basically Going into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars results in crash to home, I've rebooted, hard reset and returned to factory settings, non of it seems to remedy it, does anyone know of this bug? or does anyone know a work around etc?, I've had a look around altho there are many Mail issues non seem to directly relate to my issue.
Kind Regards
Fish.

I recommend taking it into the store. Sounds to me like you have downloaded an app that has allowed itself to become the "primary" when sending and recieving images.... Apple is seriously dropping the ball!! Just the other day, I downloaded an app called v-downloader... Its an app that allows you to download videos through a 3rd party browser. Well what it did, was automatically place restrictions on my phone... I couldnt send pics, and it removed access to safari, facetime, messages, etc... so maybe try removing any recent app purchases. Also, I would reccomend that you restore your phone. it will redo the update off your computer and come through with less glitches
But I agree, iOS6 has been nothing but problems... I plan on removing the update when I get home
