Why won't my email account use it's designated signature?

Any help appreciated:
I have 5 email accounts in Mail, and when I create a new email or respond to an email sent to one of my accounts, the signature that is automatically selected is always the signature for my .mac account. Very annoying if you forget to change it and fire off an email with the wrong closing.
Anyone know how to fix this?
I've read of people having success by simply changing the account description in the main account preferences pane, but no luck with that. All 5 signatures are set up with just 1 account each, and each account only has 1 signature associated with it. Why they don't pre-populate correctly is beyond me.
Thanks.

Hi Rossphile!
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
I can tell you know for sure there is a bug or two with the signatures. You can find various posts regarding the issues. Basically you can just organize it the best you can and if you get to the point where you're doing all you can and it's still not working you might have to consider it part of the bug.
Sounds like you know how to set it up just fine...I'm not sure what I can suggest there. And it's way past my bedtime in this part of the world! But just to let you know...there is a bug...

Why won't my emails update between my devices?

why won't my emails update between my devices?

That's not the issue though. I have all that already set up. It's just for my hotmail account. I have another account that works fine. It's just annoying to have to see all the same stupid emails on every single device, and then in my hotmail account as well. Aren't they supposed to be syncing with one another?

HT4865 How can I have multiple icloud email accounts using the same rescue email account.

I have several Iphones for my business for managers to use.
I would like to set them up to send me the recovery emails but it seems only one icloud address can do that.
Is it possible to have multiple icloud email accounts using the same - seperate recovery email address?

Unfortunately, you cannot change your primary @me.com or @icloud.com email address, you could however create an alias or create a completely new account.

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.

Why won't cells autopopulate when using numbers on the ipad? Anyone have a fix? Have also created a dropdown menu, but that does not translate from excel to numbers either.

Glad you got it sorted out.

I'm unable to delete an existing email account, using iPhone 4 and latest OS. Anyone resolve this problem?

i'm unable to delete an existing email account, using iPhone 4 and latest OS. Anyone resolve this problem?

I thought maybe you had a restriction set to Accounts but if you can get to the final screen that's not it. I'd try resetting the phone. First do a hard reset. Turn the phone off then press the Home button an Power button at the same time and hold for 10 seconds or so until the logo appears. If that doesn't work go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings. That will basically restore the phone to a like new condition but keep your data, music, photos, etc. intact. Do a back up first though.

Have an iphone 3GS, 2 email accounts. My work email account used to work. Now if I send any emails from this account it only appears in my sent box. Recipients internal and external do not receive. IT person cannot figure why occurring. Any insight?

Have a iphone 3GS; 2 email accounts. one is for work. It used to work fine until about Feb 2011. Now when i send emails from my work account it only appears in the sent file. Recipients do not get email.
IT person looked at it & cannot find why this is happening.
Any insight why this is occurring??

This has nothing to do with your iPhone.
If a message is in the account's Sent mailbox, this means the message was successfully sent. If a message cannot be sent for whatever reason, it will remain in the Outbox.
What happens to a message after it was successfully sent has nothing to do with the email client or computer/device used to send the message.

Problems with my yahoo email account using Firefox

I am using Firefox 14.0.1 and I have problems with my yahoo email account. I send an email, the receiver got a good version of my email, but when I see the same email into my sent box I see a differente text. When I use any other Internet browser, I can see a good version of my original email into the sent box.
Why???

Hi,
Please try a '''Ctrl + F5''' refresh. This helps to bring in the page contents afresh. You can also consider the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fix-most-problems Reset Firefox] feature via '''Help''' ('''Alt''' + '''H''') > '''Troubleshooting Information'''.
(To revert to the previous profile, close the new profile, start Firefox and choose the '''*.default''' profile. While the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles Profile Manager] is open, you can also delete the newly reset profile (the one containing random numbers)).

If you have security software (antivirus, firewall etc.) installed, you can try deleting all existing instances of Firefox and related files in all the different configuration areas/modules of the security software. Instead create new allow/trusted rules for Firefox + its related processes.

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.

Why won't my emails come up?

My IPhone 5 email won't come up. Every time I touch it, it acts like it is coming up, then goes back to the home screen. I have shut it down, but still doesn't help!

There are two types of Digital Copies:
Some DVDs or Blu Rays include a Digital Copy disc and redemption code. Movies that include a separate Digital Copy disc require this disc to be inserted into your CD or DVD drive before you can redeem your Digital Copy code. Codes can be redeemed multiple times as long as you are using the same Apple ID account used for the original redemption.
Other DVDs and Blu Rays only include a Digital Copy redemption code and do not require a Digital Copy disc to redeem your Digital Copy code. These Digital Copy codes can be redeemed only once.
See this article for some tips about digital copies: Transferring or downloading an iTunes Digital Copy, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1539

I'm unable to access my yahoo email account using updated firefox browser, i keep getting error page when I use the mail link on yahoo pages

Since updating Firefox browser, i am unable to gain access to my yahoo email account. I can access the email with Interent Explorer with no trouble. Whenever I click on a mail link on the yahoo sites to check my mail, I get rerouted to an error page ..... "Sorry, we can't find "ca.mg4.mail.yahoo.com/dc/launch?.gx=1". Please check the spelling of the web address." is what is said at top of page whenever I click on any mail links.

This is how I fixed it on my new iPhone 5S. Using the standard yahoo setting on my phone.
You will have to access "managing your app passwords" on your account profile for yahoo. Generate password for your app. For example: "My iPhone 5S'
Go to your Iphone and set up your yahoo mail account on your phone the normal way and you have to use the generated password. instead of the yahoo account password.

DirectNIC's customers outside of the U.S. are unable to connect to their email accounts using their blackberries

I work for directNIC.com and our customers who are located in foreign countries are unable to send/receive email on their blackberry devices. The problem started at the beginning of this month and we can not figure out what the problem is. Our U.S. blackberry customers are not having any problems. Our non-U.S. customers have reported errors such as needing to revalidate the account and when they tried to they received an invalid domain or invalid username/password message. Some customers said the email just quit working and they received an unable to connect error message. I've had one customer provide me with a link to their wireless provider's blackberry email account setup and I am unable to setup their email account there or any email account that uses any of our servers. All of our customer's email accounts work in their email clients on their computers, their other phones, and through their webmail it is only their blackberries. We've white listed all of blackberry's IP addresses and we've checked the server logs to see if there were any connection attempts when I tried to setup the email accounts through the customer's online blackberry interface and there wasn't even an attempt to connect to the server. The error message that I receive is as follows:
Email address domain not found:
The email address domain 'insert domain name here' cannot be found. Please verify this
information is correct. If the error persists contact 'insert domain name here' (your
email provider)
The problem isn't with just one wireless provider it's with multiple providers in multiple countries but the U.S. customers aren't reporting any problems. I am able to setup my personal email account through his blackberry site, an email account from my work through his blackberry site, my yahoo.com email address, and my hotmail.com email address. The only email accounts that do not work are the email accounts that are on any of our servers.   Some of these servers have different server configuration but all of them have all of blackberry's IP addresses whitelisted. Our premium hostng email servers have the same software installed on them as my work email server does and my work email account works fine when I try to set it up through blackberry but none of the premium hosting email accounts that I tried to setup through this customers interface will work. The problem is only with blackberry devices and is only with customers outside of the U.S. If anyone has any thoughts or ideas please let us know.
Thanks,
Priscilla

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Sorry for the delay replying...while your post is a bit old now, it still deserves a response.
First -- these forums are not a formal channel for support from RIM. Rather, they are user-to-user support forums where users help other users. As such, it is unlikely that RIM will see and respond to your inquiry.
What I suggest is that you have your affected users exercise their formal support channel -- which is available via their carrier. The carriers have the ability to escalate cases into RIM for resolution.
Best!
