OS X :: Email Accounts With Different Names But Same Host Confusion

Dec 30, 2008

Im very green to the apple way of computing, before I got this new aluminum macbook from santa I've always used windows. Anyway, I am loving my new apple but of course transferring all my old stuff and getting used to how the new programs work can be quite a hassle. Right now im trying to get apple mail to function like outlook did. Please be patient with me. I have several email addresses, private, business, hobby, etc. They go with several of my websites. But they are all hosted with the same server, so although every email has a different name, they all use the same mail server, user name and password.

I know I can add new accounts and by adding different email addresses to the name, divided with a , I can send emails from different addresses. But here is my problem. Every email I send comes from the same sender, the same name but a different email address. info@hab.nl & jo@jo.nl all come from sender Jo, not from hab & jo as I would like. Everytime I try to add a new account I get this message; "The account "jo" already has this hostname and username". I know it does! But I still want to use those with different email accounts, just like I used to do in Outlook.

Mac Pro :: Confusion On Amount Of RAM ?

Apr 6, 2008

I've got a quad core mac pro and I'm looking to put more RAM in than the originally shipped 1 gig (2 x 512). I've seen all the helpful links for what chips to put in which riser, however I've also seen people mention keeping things in multiples of 4 or 2.

I'm looking to put in 2 x 2 for 4 additional gigs, and keeping the original 1 gig. This would bring me up to 5 gigs total, but is it a bad idea to have 5 since that is an odd number? Or is it ok because it uses up 4 slots? 6 gigs might be a little more than I can presently afford/truly need.

Intel Mac :: The Address Book In A New Email Shows Only Names, No Addresses

Mar 18, 2012

I recently added new names with their email addresses in "Address Book" - picked the Group I wanted and then clicked the + sign under Names and entered the info in the space to the right.  I had already created a mailbox for each name and had gone through Mailbox-Preferences-Rules to have emails from or to routed to the correct boxes [which it did when I clicked on "Apply" at the end of this process].  All this to show what I did prior to choosing "New Message" in Email.  When I got the blank email page, I clicked on the Address Book icon above to retrieve the address I wanted and only the names of the people I had entered were displayed, NOT their email addresses.   I then restarted the computer - still the same.  How do I get the addresses to show up?

iMAC, Mac OS X (10.5.7)

Mac OS X Lion Server :: Email Address Requires Host Name In Address Field

May 5, 2012

I'm trying to setup mail on Lion Sever (7.3). The only way I can get it to accept incoming mail is to specify the whole FQDN of the server in the address. For example the domain name is example.com and I have a user set up called john. Sending mail to john@server.example.com works.

But sending mail to john@example.com (which is what I want) returns an error:
554 554 5.7.1 <john@example.com>: Relay access denied (state 13). 

For internal DNS, I have:
example.com - primary zonemail.expample.com - alias server.example.comserver.example.com - 192.168.1.2 [URL] - alias server.example.com MX record [URL]

I see references here to problems in mail on 7.3 but not this specific problem.

Mac OS X (10.7.3)

OS X :: Why Does Take So Long To Add Email Accounts

May 15, 2009

In Mail, when you add an account, why does it take so ridiculously long to verify with no way to skip verification? At first I thought this was just my system but I've now had a friend ask me why it's so slow (took 17 minutes) and he's on a different ISP and everything. This means that 100% of the computers I've seen take an unacceptably long time to verify the account. This problem only appears to affect Apple Mail. I find it hard to believe that Apple could release something this bad, so I have two questions:

1. Is this normal?
2. Why does it happen?

OS X Mavericks :: How To Modify Email Accounts

Sep 10, 2014

In my home machine I have several email accounts. I have a wife, two company accounts, and 4 young kids and each of them has is own account

Still they all look like as follows

My Name <mywife@mac.com>

My Name<sonaccount@mac.com>

and so on

As my kids receive emails, when they want to reply they would like to have their name in the header as this

mywife <mywife@mac.com>

sonaccount <sonaccount@mac.com>

In the Mail preferences the names are grey and cannot be modified

Before iCloud this was easy to do, but how to do so in the latest version of Mavericks?  

I can no longer use one of my accounts. What happens when I try to add it to Mavericks Mail it recognises the log and pass as correct, however the Mail option is not available.

Trying to enter the mail box from SAFARI the iCloud,com website recognises my log and pass, clicking on the MAIL option it asks me to enter the log and pass again, doing so it tells me that log is already taken

I don't understand how this is possible as these are all paid account for well over a decade and I am already correctly in my iCloud account.

Mac Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.4)

OS X :: Different Contact Email Default When Using Different Mail Accounts

Feb 16, 2009

I've come across a strange problem that I'm not sure if Mac Mail will be able to deal with natively. Basically, I have several contacts in my address book that have 2 addresses; work and home. I also have 2 mail accounts set up; my work account and my home account. I've run into a few problems at work when I'm sending email to colleagues as it was auto-selecting their personal addresses when I typed in their names. I managed to fix that but now when I send mail from my personal account, the auto-select chooses their work email first so I have to scroll down to choose their personal account.

Is there a way of getting mail to understand that if I'm sending mail from my personal account, then "home" addresses should show up first in auto-complete but if I'm sending from my work account, then "work" addresses should show up first? I understand this is probably a bit of a long shot without a third party tool but thought it best to ask!

Applications :: Three Email Accounts - Getting Organized In Mail

Apr 15, 2009

I've only really used Mail in a very basic way - for reading email from three email accounts, one work, two Gmail. I've never attempted to organize things in any way. However, I want to clean things up a bit now. I'm getting a lot of work emails - I'm a journalist - and I want to organise them based on which article they relate to. I presumed the easiest way to do this would be to create a folder (a 'Mailbox' I take it, Mailbox > New Mailbox) and drag the relevant emails to the corresponding folder. However, when I do this the emails no longer appear in my overall Inbox, so when I search the Inbox, they don't appear. I've had a quick look around the Preferences, but can't see a simply option for changing this. Am I going about this the right way organising using Mailboxes? Or is there a better way perhaps?

MobileMe :: How To Move Email Only Accounts To ICloud

Jun 14, 2012

I'll be moving to iCloud on a new iMac running 10.7 soon. My main email is a mac.com address and my wife and daughter each have an 'email only' account associated with that. We need all those to continue to work. Does it matter which account we move first? I am worried something might get lost if we move the wrong one first. They are both running older macs so won't be able to get full icloud, but only need access to email at the moment.

Also, I currenty use use entourage and collect email using POP - I gather this will no longer be possible and I'll have to use IMAP, which I'm not familiar with - anything I need to bear in mind making that change? I'm currently in two minds whether to move to Mail or Outlook
