Workaround to adding two e-mail alias accounts with same username.

I have two e-mail addresses (aliases) (for example [email protected] and [email protected]) running under one (same) username "jimmy" and the same password on the same mail server (basically one e-mail account with two e-mail address aliases). I wanted to have both added to my iPad running iOS 5. I added the first without a problem, but when I tried to add the second one, the iPad complained that an account with the username "jimmy" already exists and gave me a prompt window with two options, "Cancel" and "Edit". Cancel was supposed to cancel the whole e-mail account creating procedure and take me back to Settings/Mail, and "Edit" was supposed to take me back to editing this e-mail account so I could change it (select another username). It turned out that both "Cancel" and "Edit" threw me out of the editing procedure and put me back into Settings/Mail. Seems like a bug.
I managed to use a workaround to add my second e-mail address account (alias) to the iPad 2 with the same account username. I started creating the second account and filled in all the information but I intentionally mystyped the username as "jimmo". Now when I tapped "Done" the iPad wanted to verify the account (as normal) but soon warned me that either the username or password were incorrect and that the account may not work correctly, but it did allow me to add it.  I then went in and edited this second account and changed it's incoming mail server username to "jimmy".
Now I have both e-mail addresses (aliases) using one account correctly set-up. Just thought I'd write this in case anyone would encounter the same problem/bug.

EDIT: When using Mail application to check e-mails I am getting sporadic "Cannot Get Mail: The user name or password for "<name_of_account> is incorrect." The password is correct and it works when I retry. If I disable one of the accounts in the Settings/Mail (set to Inactive) then the other one (using the same password on the same server) works without hiccups. They definitely have to work on this bug and fix it.

  • Adding multiple e-mail alias addresses to an account

    Can someone please tell me how to add another e-mail address to my Mail account. I have tried using info from the Mail Help file, both "adding another account" and "adding multiple e-mail alias addresses to an account". Each time when I try to send a test message to or from the added e-mail address, I get the same message: "Cannot send message using the server mail.bellsouth.net. Use the Pop-up menu below to try a different outgoing mail server". The only pop-up is smtp .Mac.
    I have tried both methods shown in the HELP file and get the same message. I would really appreciate your help.

    Are you trying to add a second email account to Mail, or just add a second "(apparently) from" address to an existing account?
    If the former, we need to know some more detail, like:
    (1) who is the existing account, .mac or bellsouth?
    (2) Which are you trying to add, .mac or bellsouth?
    (3) I assume your ISP is Bell South?
    (4) What are the names of the smtp servers and what are their respective smtp server port numbers?
    (5) Are either of them using SSL on the smtp server?
    (6) I don't remember whether Tiger Mail has it or not, but in Leopard Mail, on the menu bar under "Window" there is a selection "Connection Doctor." If applicable to Tiger Mail, what does it say about your connections?
    (7) Which account can you send mail through and which one can't you send mail through?
    (8) Are your receiving mail okay through either or both accounts? Which one(s)?
    Now if you are trying to add a second "(apparently) from" address to an existing account, in Mail Prefs > Accounts > mail account > Email Address, just add a second email address separated by a comma like so:
       [email protected], [email protected] 
    You could have an issue with bellsouth or .mac requiring the domain name in the apparently from email address to match the domain name of the smtp mail server.

  • Two Apple Mail imap accounts, but can never include 2nd account in REPLY ALL

    Hi. I have two Apple Mail imap accounts. One for me and one for my boss. The problem is, if I receive an email in which my boss is cc'd and I then click on REPLY ALL, Mail never includes my boss's email address and I have to manually type it in. Is there anything I can do to fix this? Thank you.

    Open Mail>Preferences>Accounts, scan down to the entry 'Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)', click on the dropdown and select Edit SMTP Server List and verify that each account has the correct SMTP server set.
    Then close it
    Once you have verified that the servers are set correctly check the box that says 'Use only this server' for each of the accounts.

  • Two account with same UPN in Active Directory

    Is it possible to have two accounts with same UPN in AD? 
    I'm using Windows Server 2012 R2

    To expand on what Mr X said. Active Directory allows you to assign just about anything to the userPrincipalName attribute, as long as the value is unique. The value of this attribute is generally referred to as the UPN. But you could assign values with no
    "@" symbol, for example, or more than one "@" symbol. Also, Active Directory does not require that any value be assigned. It is an optional attribute.
    If no value is assigned to the userPrincipalName attribute, then the user can use a "default" UPN, which is <sAMAccountName>@<DNS domain name>, where <sAMAccountName> is the "pre-Windows 2000 logon" name of the user
    (the value of the sAMAccountName attribute), and <DNS domain name> is the DNS name of the domain.
    If a user has a value assigned to userPrincipalName that does not match this "default" form, then they can logon with either UPN, as long as no one else has either value assigned to their userPrincipalName attribute. You will note that Active
    Directory enforces uniqueness in the domain on sAMAccountName values.
    If in domain "domain.com" a user has a sAMAccountName of "jsmith" but userPrincipalName "[email protected]", then another user can have userPrincipalName of "[email protected]" (as long as no one else
    has that value assigned to userPrincipalName). They can each logon with their assigned values for userPrincipalName. But the first user can no longer also logon with their "default" value, based on their sAMAccountName, because it is now
    used by someone else. But if you attempt to assign a value to userPrincipalName that is also assigned to another user, you get an error.
    Bottom line, only one person can logon with any given UPN.

    She can't. She needs to setup her own AppleID and then create an iCloud account using that.
    You can still continue to share your existing AppleID for iTunes and App Store purchases.

  • Multiple accounts with same email

    I have multiple accounts with same email
    The one that has all my contacts is the one attached to FB but for some odd reason I can no longer access this specific account
    When I try to reset my password, it only keeps asking me to change my FB password
    Once I try logging in on Skype, it keeps asking my FB to connect to the other 2 Skype accounts, completely diffente usernames
    I am only interested in the one that originally connected to my FB as it has all my contacts
    As my other 2 accounts are my old Skype accounts and have my old contacts from years ago

    Actually this morning I was able to log on the account from an iPad with no fuss but the pc refuses to sign in^^^!???! "Skype couldn't connect" - What is going on???
    I also found out that I could sign in via a browser but not via skype program... So I uninstalled it and installed it again and it's working now...
    I have now changed the email so I don't have 3 accounts with the same primary email as Skype seems to not being able to handle multiple accounts with same email!!!

  • Two mail accounts with same name and SSL not allowed?!

    Dear Common Wisdom:
    I have two accounts in my Mail program with the same web host. That means the outgoing mail server has the same name.
    If I put on SSL, though, it is not allowed to save two servers with the same name in two different accounts.
    Can I get around this and still use SSL for both accounts?
    Thanks!

    Each domain is expected to refer to its own unique database schema. Same SOA schema should not be shared by multiple SOA clusters/domains. It is technically possible though, I suppose, and still can run fine any one SOA environment at any given time with the other SOA environments/domains (sharing the same SOA schema) shutdown. It is not the general/recommended practice to share SOA schema across domains and there could be potential implications and unexpected behavior, particularly when the SOA environments pointing to the same schema are all running at a time.

  • Setting up a Mail alias-account

    Hi folks,
    People can send me mail through various email addresses, but i configured this accounts to automatically forward the mails to my main smtp account.
    Now my question:
    How can i configure my Mail.app mailbox to reply this mail by using the correct email address as sender?
    Is it possible in Mail.app (version 2.1) to configure account aliases? If yes, how?
    Thank you all.
    Marc

    Marc,
    In this situation, I think you only need to add the additional addresses, into the Email Address entry box in Mail Preferences/Accounts/Account Information. You put a comma after the existing address, and add another. Put a comma after the new, one, and you can add still another.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302215
    and
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mail/2.0/en/ml1019.html
    You will need to be sure to select the correct one, in each reply or new message. The latter link is also found in Mail Help.
    Does this fulfill your need?

  • Trouble using .mac mail alias's with Panther Mail

    I am using Mac Mail 1.3.11 (Panther) here and have a .mac account. When I compose mail, the Account field in the header only allows me to select my main .mac account name. This seems to defeat the purpose of alias's - if I have to send mail from my root account name. The only workaround I found is to create a seperate mail account for the alias. But then of course if I only check the alias, I miss mail to my root account name. And if I check both, my Inbox contains double of nearly everything.
    Any suggestions? Or do I have to shell out the $$ to buy Tiger for this computer too, just to enable alias's?
    Thanks

  • How to convert/move Mail POP accounts *with folders/subfolders* to Gmail for Business?

    I currently have several email addresses for my two domains, an Earthlink account (which I will phase out eventually) and a couple of Gmail accounts. They are all POP accounts.
    I would like to convert to Gmail for Business, but I can't figure out how to migrate 10s of 1000s of emails that are housed in 200+ folders and subfolders from Mail to Gmail for Business.
    The mail migration tools out there don't seem to cover Mac Mail.
    Has anyone out there done this?

    OK.
    From Mail:
    Add the new account to Mail. One at a Time copy each folder from the POP account to the Google IMAP account, do not copy more than a few hundred emails at a time, they have to be uploaded to the IMAP server, uploads are slow, it takes a while and tends to fail if there are too many.
    Repeat until complete
    PS: not just your dull life, the dull lives of everyone who sends an email to you as well, wonder how they would think about that (if you told them)

  • Two accounts with same email address: TROUBLE!

    In experimenting with accounts (to solve a problem involving connecting to different ISPs at different times), I wound up creating a second account with the same email address as my regular one. These were POP accounts. When I realized that wouldn't help me, I deleted the second account. To my surprise, Mail deleted all of my inbox, sent mail and trashed mail. It still showed many, many mails (in those places) with the indication "you must reconnect to the server", but in fact I rebuilt the mailboxes and the mails were truly gone. I think Mail shouldn't have permitted the second account to be created in that way. Loss of mail is pretty serious, and there was no indication to me that I was doing anything wrong. I hope this is fixed in the next version.

    I don't know a workaround for that other than to use a different address for the calendar share.

  • Create two or more GL account in same material grp

    Is it possible to create a two or more GL account for material group based on plant level.
    Thanks

    Hi Elaine,
    I am not quite sure what are you trying to do. Do you mean material type? Either or the assignments of GL accounts to materials mainly depend on the valuation class. So under the same material type you could have different materials going to different accounts or valuation class. Typically each Material Type is defaulted to one valuation class, but that doesn't necessary mean  that individual materials master records can be changed to another one, which may be pointing to another GL account.
    Hope this helps.

  • Any insight as to why multiple Apple Mail IMAP accounts with Blackberry don't get emails?  Thunderbird seems to work fine.

    I have two instances of Apple mail connected to the same IMAP server; one on my iMac and the other on my MacBook (when I travel).  I also have a Blackberry Storm connected to the same IMAP server.
    The Blackberry gets emails fine.  The Apple Mail clients mostly don't get the same emails.  I have disabled the Blackberry and still get the same behavior.  Thunderbird or any web-based email client works perfectly well, so it seems the issue is with Apple Mail.
    Anyone have any suggestions?

    If TCP port 25 isn't open, then SMTP services won't work.  That's the port that all SMTP servers use to communicate amongst themselves.    (Sure, you can change the port your SMTP server is listening on, but you'd also have to change the port processing on all of the other SMTP servers around — and if you did manage to implement that change everywhere, the local network folks would likely just block the new port for the same reasons they blocked the old port.)
    If you have a public static IP address and have correct forward and reverse translations — host domain to IP address, and IP address to host domain name — then you don't need and very likely don't want to run your own DNS server. 
    More to help you learn how these pieces fit together and not something I'd expect you would need given you have a public static IP and public DNS here is a detailed DNS server configuration article for OS X Server; enable Show All Records and it applies to Server.app on 10.7 and later.  If you have questions after reading that, I can certainly answer them and also update the article to try to reduce the confusion or answer the question.
    Your host didn't have valid reverse DNS, so you'll want to get that cleared up, and you'll want to get the port blocks cleared, or work with the local network folks to set up a relay through one of the existing mail servers.

  • When I create a new account with same password is ...

    Over the course of inactivity it happened that I forgot my passwords. I did not request a reset but created a new account with the same e-mail. Can I have several accounts with the same e-mail? And if so, how do I request a reset of password for a specific username resp. account? I would like to keep the old user accounts for several reasons. But requesting a reset via e-mail will do so on my newest account for which I know the password.
    Am I trying to do something impossible?

    as far as I remember, accounts are tagged as inactive after 6 months of no activity.
