How can I access an e-mail account on TB from another computer without delete/modify how the other account is configured

I want to be able to access one another e-mail account is set up as a POP account on TB, but I don't want to change the way the other e-mail account is configured. My colleague and I often need to access each others emails. Is it simply a matter of adding the e-mail account on my computer as a POP, without moving his e-mails? Or it would require to change his account to IMAP? When I created his account of TB, I did a POP so there is no messages on the server at the moment. What I don't want, it's for his e-mails from his computer to mine.
(He's new to TB and making crazy him - I already did that when I went it to Outlook)

Thank you

Is it simply a matter of adding the e-mail account on my computer as a POP

Yes. And don't forget to check the option to leave messages on the server before accessing the account.

That said, I think it's a very bad idea to share an account like this.
Note that this will give you access to on behalf of your colleague.
In addition you do not store only your own messages on your computer, but also messages of all your colleague.
The same is true for him if he does the same thing.

    When I try to log in my e-mail account Virginmedia he responds by saying that Javascript must be enabled. However, as far as I can tell it is already enabled. I've updated to the latest version of Java, but this did not help. I'll have to go back to IE8 because I am running Windows XP, which is a shame... Can anyone offer advice?

  • I can't access my e-mail account on several computers in my office (Microsoft 2003) _

    Outlook 2003... I have an email account set up on multiple computers in our office. However, even if my email address is the same on each computer, my Inbox receives many messages on each computer.

    In other words, if someone sends me, how did I get the message on a computer, but not the other? Also, when I send an email, I can see it in my folder 'sent' on this computer, but there is nothing there on another computer.

    All of my accounts are configured as POP3 accounts. Does it matter?

    Thanks for the help.

  • BlackBerry smartphones, I can't access my e-mail account on my Bold 9780

    Can you please help me.  I have connected my Bold9780 to my PC and I learned there was an upgrade of the unit and that it would take time.  I turned it off and my computer crashed (power failure). At first everything seemed ok, the upgrade seems to have been successfully installed.

    However, I can't send or receive e-mails now.  I tried to reconcile and all, nothing happens.  If I try to access my email via the settings that I just get a message saying "your camera has a problem connecting to the internet" and I gave RETRY or CANCEL I retried load times without success.  The phone and SMS work very well, but I can't access all the apps either as it is just says 'server not found '.

    Is it possible to come back to my email or I'll have to go back to factory reset.  I'm an ODP and not very technical which makes it the most annoying for me too!

    Kind regards

    Hi, Pat.

    Of course, you can retrieve your email service and we will help you with it.  First of all, let's get the service books sent to your phone once again, just in case that's the problem.  From your home screen, go to Options > device > advanced system settings > host Routing Table or Options > Advanced Options > host Routing Table, depending on what operating system your phone is running.  Once on the host Routing Table, press your menu button and select Save now to have the service books sent to your phone.

    Try this and post back with your results.

  • How can I use an ipod nano that was synched to another computer?

    My daughter gave me his 2nd generation ipod nano because it is no longer use it.  When I plugged in my USB to load, I got a message informing me that there is an update.  It would not be updated beause "ipod cannot be updated because it contains files that are used by another application."

    What should I do to be able to use this ipod nano?

    I don't think that this message is related to the iPod is synced to another computer...  It is usually other applications or processes on the computer (which is not iTunes) accessing the iPod for some reason if iTunes is not able to perform the update.  However, your question in the subject heading ("How can I use an ipod nano that was synched to another computer?") is valid, since the iPod was previously used by someone else, with a different iTunes library.

    If you want to start using this iPod with your iTunes library and put on your songs, instead of doing an Update, you need to restoreThis erases the iPod, reinstalled the latest version of the software, and sets it to the default settings.  The iPod gets a 'new beginning', as when it was new.  To resolve the problem with this "files in use by another application" error message, try restarting your computer.  Immediately after the computer finishes starting up, run iTunes, plug in the iPod (if it isn't already) and try to do the restore (or Update).  If you still get this error message, please after return.

    If you are restoring, you can configure it to sync with your iTunes library.  You can post back, if you need advice on options for the implementation.

  • How can I find my e-mail account?

    I did Firefow synchronize a long time ago. Donkey today, I want to connect Firefow sync, but I don't remember my email account that I put in place. I remember passwords. But I don't remember e-mail account. How can I find my e-mail account? Please, let me help you.

    Open Options > Security-> password - saved passwords
    Your synchronization user name is listed in the chrome://FirefoxAccounts = 'user name' is the email address of your sync account.

    And if "long" is more than 15 months - may 2014 - this old account of synchronization will be updated for the version of Firefox 29 + Sync.

    My computer have Windows reloaded and now I can't access my e-mail stored previously in Windows Mail. How can I get back them?

    You can try to search for *.eml, but if the disk has been formatted first, they will not be there.  The files are also hidden, so make sure that you enable the display of hidden files and folders under control panel | Folder options | View.  You can also check with those who 'reloaded' of Windows to see if they have backed up your data first.

    See www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#wm for information on the message to save the data.
