Why is opening Multiple eMail Accounts not allowed

If I open a second Yahoo eMail Account I get a message that the first one is being closed because it is no longer being used.
Why is having to accounts open at the same time a problem? What is the reason behind it?
If I open the accounts in different browsers, no problem - so I'm guessing it's an ISP thing?
I understand there are work-arounds such as Multifox (it says for Gmail, I'm assuming also eMail?) but I don't understand what the problem is.

It is due to the way that cookies are handled. Extensions such as [http://br.mozdev.org/multifox/ Multifox] and [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/cookieswap/ CookieSwap] change the handling of cookies to allow you to have different logins active. This is achieved by allowing you to have multiple versions of cookies for the same site, and swapping between them to go to the different logins.

How to configure multiple email accounts (not aliases) in Thunderbird?

Hi,
I have my own personal Oracle email account and 2 other Oracle email accounts that I own (these are accounts used for our team's customer newsletters).
I previously used Thunderbird for all 3 accounts with no problem. Now, I can no longer get mail for the 2 newsletter accounts. I have tried changing the sever to: stbeehive.oracle.com and entering my existing password but that does not work.
Should I run the Beehive config assistant and enter the account information for each of my 2 email accounts which are not yet working on beehive?
If not that, how do I get these other email address accounts configured in Thunderbird? I need to be able to send and receive emails.
Thanks,
Catherine

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.

When I open my email account thru Firefox, there is a blinking message in my task bar stating that "lorainemihiril" sent me a message. I DO NOT know this person, I can't make it go away and I NEVER use instant messaging. How do I get rid of this???

Disable Yahoo Messenger in your Yahoo Mail account.
Use the arrow on the right of your account name to go offline or sign out.

Can Multiple email accounts on Galaxy S4 sync with iCloud & non-iCloud email?

Hello… has anyone successfully set up multiple email accounts (iCloud/Yahoo/AT&T/etc.) on their Samsung Galaxy S4 Jelly Bean 4.2? I searched the forums and it has been said that configuration settings depend on the combination of wireless service provider + device model + email providers + Android version.
My S4 is from AT&T and if this scenario can't work, I have to cancel my contract in a few days (although that would be the last resort). From checking the forums, not everyone has been able to get the S4 to work with iCloud. In my case, I hope to sync up with iCloud and non-iCloud email which might be trickier.
Here is one thread that helps with settings, but doesn't seem to address multiple or non-iCloud accounts: https://discussions.apple.com/message/22435596#22435596
Some background info…
Although Gmail just works on Android devices, I plan to primarily use Apple/Yahoo/AT&T email (at least initially).
I don’t yet have Apple mail/iCloud, but plan to. I am partially switched to the Mac (Mtn Lion), but haven’t completed the jump from Windows.
I don’t have an iPhone (so hopefully that makes the setup less complicated.)
I mostly care about email on the S4 (I’m not concerned about syncing up contacts, calendar, music, etc.).
Apologies for the long post, but hopefully I’ve included the necessary background info for the questions below:
Is it possible to setup multiple (iCloud/Yahoo/AT&T) emails on the Samsung Galaxy S4 from AT&T so that they sync nicely?
From the S4, if I reply to an email, will the Sender in the email reply be the same account which received the email? Or, (as I’ve read in the excerpt below) will the Sender for all email replies from the S4 be set from a fixed/primary account?
Although the first two questions above are the most urgent for now, I'd appreciate pointers if you see something that should be changed in the configuration settings below.
Thanks in advance!

After spending quite some time trying to get my T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II setup with iCloud mail, this is what finally worked. Thanks to everyone for the various bits that helped lead me in the right direction. For those who need lots of detail, I hope the below helps. Please don't ask me about any other specific Android phones as I'm not expert but thought someone out there could benefit from my experience.
INCOMING SERVER SETTINGS
User Name: username (do not enter @me,com or @mac.com)
Password: (enter your password)
IMAP server: imap.mail.me.com
Security type: SSL
Port: 993
IMAP path prefix: p##- (you can find this by checking your account settings on your Mac. Mine was p03- so that's what I entered here)
Press NEXT
OUTGOING SERVER SETTINGS
SMTP server: smtp.mail.me.com
Security type: TLS
Port: 587
check the box next to "Require sign-in" if it's not already checked
User name: username (do not enter @me.com or @mac.com)
Password (enter your password)
Press NEXT
Your phone will check the server settings and you should be able to see your email now.
And another poster provided these additional tips…
Definitely select SSL/TLS and accept all certificates
Now here's the zinger: Authentication should be LOGIN
After figuring this out, I finally (after many hours of searching and testing) got to my outgoing server settings, which are: smtp.me.com
NONE for security type
Tic "Require Sign-in"
Authentication is PLAIN
And another poster's question about the Sender's email address for multiple accounts…
Managed to get this all set up however, Android only seems to allow you to send from your primary address and only reply from your primary address even if a mail was sent to one of the other addresses.
Any ideas how to get around this as I have three addresses beneath my primary which I need to both send from and reply from.

You're unlikely to find many people with experience of configuring multiple email accounts on a specific Samsung device, here on the Apple forum for an Apple service. Try the Samsung forums for help setting up your Samsung phone.
There are a few posts with general info relating to setting up an iCloud email account on Android here if you search though.

If I have multiple email accounts, how can I prevent one of them from sending email?

If set up multiple email accounts in Thunderbird, how can I prevent one of them from sending email, while allowing others to send?

Simple answer:
do not use the email address when sending or replying or forwarding emails. Sending is not automatic, you have to generate the email and click on a Send button.
You could use an smtp server that will not allow sending using the incorrect server for the email address, so that it cannot send, but if you accidentally use the email address you may get an error message, but at least the email will not be sent. Do this here:
Tools > Account Settings for the mail account.
bottom right Outgoing Server - select one that will not accept sending using wrong email address
OR
in Outgoing Server(SMTP) select the server you are using for that account
click on 'Edit'
deliberately make an error in the server name - remove the port details etc.
So the details are wrong and cannot send.

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];

               if (addPrefix) {

// 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;

Assuming 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 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 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.

Multiple email account?

I have one (1) .mac subscription.
I have created 5 email accounts/names.
The problem is the mailbox names all get the same emails. I thought I was setting up seperate private email accounts. not so.
So how do I delete these extras? I have tried dragging to trash from my email and it does not work. I have tied going to mobile me online.
Help

MobileMe mail allows you to create 5 aliases: these are simply extra addresses which, as you have found, dump incoming mail into the main inbox. However they are useful in giving you extra addresses to publish which can be easily changed, as opposed to your main address.
You can add or delete aliases by loggin in at http://me.com, going to the Mail pane if you aren't there already, and clicking on the button in the toolbar with the cogwheel and the down arrow ; select 'Preferences' and in the pane which opens click the 'Aliases' button.
You can disable an alias by unchecking the box on the left, or delete it by clicking the 'x' button on the right.
If you want entirely separate email addresses you will have to set up separate Mobileme accounts, or upgrade to a Family Pack; or go to an outside provider such as GMail or Yahoo.

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?
Thanks

You'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.

HT1692 Have recently installed itunes and outlook on a new computer. 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, Help!

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 anticipation

I 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).
