Merge two e-mail accounts

I have a few email addresses Yahoo and SBC Global, I'm able to check in a single mailbox on yahoo.com, while being able to select in each address when you compose an email.

However, I'm unable to understand how to configure my Apple Mail account to reflect my yahoo.com account. Currently in Apple Mail, I have a separate account of the SBC Global and a separate account of Yahoo. I implemented this way because it was the only way I knew to be able to select different e-mail addresses when you are composing an email. The problem with this configuration is the number of unread emails is doubled due to them being two identical mailboxes.

If possible, I would like to combine/merge the mailboxes while being able to have two e-mail addresses to select when you compose an email.

I hope that what I am asking is logical and someone out there will be a solution because I know that I'm not the only person using several e-mail on the same Yahoo account alias.

Thank you, in advance, for any help you are able to provide.

Hello and welcome to Apple support communities, OMMBoy.

If I understand your post right, you are wanting to be able to set up your Yahoo/SBC Global account once in post, rather than implement them separately, but still be able to choose one or the other when you dial an outgoing message. I know from personal experience, how practical is to be able to choose the account that come from your emails, so I'm happy to help you find a solution for this today!

It is not a way to 'merge' mail accounts in the mail that you mentioned, but hopefully that won't matter because it seems that these two accounts are already merged on the side server. That you would do so first remove one of these mail e-mail accounts so that only rest. It shouldn't make a difference, that you decide to keep. You can find steps on how to remove one of these email accounts in Mail for Mac: Configure Mail with your email accounts, specifically this section:

Delete an account

When you delete a mail e-mail account, messages from the account are deleted and are no longer available on your Mac. The copies of the messages remain on the mail server account and are still available (from webmail, for example).

Important: If you are not sure if you want to keep the messages are still on the mail server, move or copy them to a mailbox stored on your Mac (the mailbox appears in the section on my Mac in the mail sidebar) before deleting the account in Mail.

  1. Choose Mail > Preferences, and click accounts.

  2. Select an account, then click on the button Delete .

    Note: If the account is used by other applications on your Mac, you are prompted to delete the account in Internet accounts system preferences. Click the button to open an Internet account, and then clear the box e-mail for the account. To stop using the account in all applications, make sure that the account is selected, and then click the button Delete .

Once you have one of these e-mail accounts deleted, you will follow the steps of Mail (Yosemite): use e-mail alias, to add the address to remove as an alias. Don't worry that the article shows "Yosemite", the steps are the same for Sierra.

Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

Take care.

    I deleted two e-mail accounts in mail on my iMac (El Capitan). I have reinstalled the first without problem. When I tried the second, I got an error message that the account already exists. Any suggestions?

    First of all, make sure that you don't have two accounts with the same address. What happens if one of them is an iCloud account.

    From the Mail menu bar, you select

    ▹ Connection Doctor window

    In the window that opens, look for an SMTP (outgoing mail) account with a name that corresponds to the account that you are trying to add. Double-click it. Another window opens, displaying the list of all outgoing mail accounts. Click the sign button less to remove the corresponding one, and then click OK.

    Try to add the email account again. If you still can not, log off or restart the computer, and then open the preferences window accounts Internet and check if the account is displayed.

  • How can I set up two e-mail accounts with their own address book from Thunderbird?

    I have two people with a new office of 8.1 to win that they share. Everyone has their own email accounts. I installed Thunderbird on their old XP desktop, created their accounts and copied the profile of Thunderbird in the XP box to the new box of 8.1. Both accounts have been set up in Thunderbird, including the default accounts of Outlook Express WAB address book. The second individual had their own unique AddressBook in OE and wants its own address book (not a mailing list) when she wrote and email. In the Thunderbird AddressBook in the 8.1 box, I created a new address book for each of them. How import the WAB OE unique that I exported from OE in every address book unique individuals in Thunderbird?

    I don't know much about the WAB files, then try this: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/989835

    Now, that, if it works, allows to import address books.

    Your next question is multiple users.

    Thunderbird is designed around the assumption that, at any time unique, a BONE fide user is recorded in the computer and will have their own profile. Thus, each user has his own user account (in the operating system) and each will have its own personal records, including their profile of Thunderbird. Everyone will see only their own message box and their own address book.

    There is no support in Thunderbird to distinguish different users. It is based on the profile appropriate being on hand.

    If your two users don't mind seen each and other books addresses, then you can import them both. It won't be easy to stop one user to accidentally pull Contacts from the address book on the other.

    You have anticipated the situation by creating separate address books to the front. In practice, you will create new address books when you import CSV files. But you can leave it as it is and drag and drop Contacts from imported address books to where you want later.

  • Mozilla locks the computer after downloading messages from the second e-mail account

    I used thunderbird for years. The current version is 38.1.0. on Windows 7. I used two e-mail accounts for years. As I downloaded the latest version, whenever thunderbird download anything from the second account, it crashes my whole computer. I deleted the second account and reinstalled, but the same thing happens.

    I don't know if the recent update is the real cause of the problem.

    Does anyone have any suggestions to solve this problem?

  • Merge two files administrator

    How a person merges two to an account administrator accounts. as merging all its account information 'A' and 'B' consideration, to make my computer only one account / account icon?

    You can't do that. You can create a new third user account, connect to it and then use Windows Explorer (my computer) to navigate around and copy data from the old accounts user (C:\Documents and Settings\old-user-acct) to your new user account. Then go to control panel > user accounts and remove unwanted accounts. Note that if you have XP Pro or Media Center, you'll see the built-in Administrator account (it is hidden by design, except in Mode without failure under XP Home). If this is your case, you cannot delete the built-in administrator or you would ever want. XP is a multi-user operating system, no matter if only one person is using it. In all operating systems multi-user - NT, Win2k, XP, Vista, Unix, Linux, Mac OSX - there is a built-in account that is 'God' on the system. In Windows terminology, is "Administrator". It is a required account and is not normally used in the daily work. In XP, you want to have a minimum of two user accounts on the system - your own user account for day-to-day work and the built-in administrator.

  • An e-mail account does not appear in the left column of Thunderbird.

    My computer (Windows XP) has two e-mail accounts and local folders that display correctly under "Accounts Mail and News" in the troubleshooting information. But Thunderbird has stopped to show one of the accounts in the left column (the directory structure) of its start page. This account was created many years ago that the messages are placed in the local folders Inbox instead of in the Inbox of the email account (Finally, I think that Thunderbird is confusing on what is meant here), but it has worked well until recently, and for this reason I can still use the email because the Inbox of local records etc. are visible. But because this email account is not on the left, there is no way to get on the right corresponding a sign "Email, accounts and advanced features". The second e-mail account (created as a test because there was this problem) is functioning normally. I tried the fix described in questions/1141037 but nothing has changed. How can I get this account to display?

    It's probably a POP-connected account and a game, like you, to use the global Inbox.

    Open the account and settings in the server settings pane, click "Advanced". He was to use the global Inbox?

    The definition of use its own Inbox should make re - appear in the list of Auditors.

    Hello.  New storm user here.  I created two e-mail accounts.  I can 'see' the two under e-mail settings.  But I only "see" one of them on the main menu.  How to see and retrieve messages from multiple e-mail accounts?  A strange thing is that even though she says e-mail successfully put in place, I never a verification message, as I did on my first account.

    Can anyone help?

    Thank you!

    I had the same problem.  Try this, it worked for me:

  • BlackBerry Smartphones several shared calendars and Contacts in double sync for 2 or more e-mail accounts

    HI -.

    Still in the period of grace, then trying to decide if I was right to go to BB Android.

    #1-calendriers - I have two calendars associated with 2 e-mail accounts I put it in the phone and allows to synchronize calendars BIS.  Like the sync wirelessly with both calendars.  However, during my days of Android, I was able to synchronize several shared calendars (that is to say, family calendar, calendar, calendars of the youth sports teams, etc.).  Problem is that if I want to synchronize my shared calendars then the only way is to get them to use Google Sync - but only as 'read only' for all but the main calendar.  Can I bring in shared calendars using BIS in which allows me to make changes to the calendars?  I guess that the calendars I ' own ' I can associate with a gmail account and then synchronize this new account gmail with BIS-, but which appears as a workaround and not a solution...

    #2-contacts - since I synchronize contacts from two e-mail accounts, it will bring all the contacts of these two accounts.  It does not appear there is a feature to link a contact who could be in both lists of contacts from email account?  In other words, my wife is in my work email contacts list and my list of contacts of personal e-mail - so in the BB, I have two wives (oh * beep * and I'm from Utah!)  Is there a solution?

    #3-email happens to BB super fast (love that!) - so when I delete an e-mail from the BB it emerges from my IMAP service that speaks to my laptop fast enough.  The question is when I delete e-mails from the laptop and then it seems to take forever because the message is marked as read deleted.  Is this normal?

    . are #4-there additional updates planned for the browser?  Or a third party that you would recommend.  I was hoping OS 6 improvements would make the web browser close browser Android - but not so much anymore - my memories of my old BB seems to be somewhat similar (that is to say, probably will not use all that often...).  Well, that's a business phone...

    Thanks for the replies!

    Jim

    Newbie... hoping to be veteran...

    Update *.

    So the answer on the forum was so amazing I had to weed out the useful responses from those who were not so helpful... j/k

    So I'm finally in contact with a technical support person (old-fashioned of anyone who speaks English as much as support-).  Technical support is very helpful - but the final answer is that BIS cannot synchronize with a shared calendar.  If I want to sync shared calendar, so I have to use Google Sync - but that runs the risk of all my appointments being pushed in my calendar by default - and I can't update my calendar (s) shared my BB unless you use Google web interface with the shared calendar.  So sounds like shared calendar is not necessarily a strong suite for BlackBerry...

    Second - the duplicate contacts - this is another thing that I just need to choose to show only an email contacts from the account and put my "allow duplicates" to yes if I want to be able to update the contact information for this contact.  Such a disappointment, but hmm...

    While speaking with support technical so I asked if the two questions above have been on the 'doing' list for our next update.  The answer I got was "I don't know" - the techie even put me to keep for a while so he could ask some of his mates if they had heard what that either, but they didn't.  A useful 'I don't know', but still a "I don't know."

    Third - emails takes awhile to reconcile on the phone when they were checked on the computer (that is to say, appear as read or class).  I was told at the Sprint store that it is just a setting.  I tried to adjust my options of 'Approximation' with two email accounts, but I have always the same question.  Maybe there's hope yet for this topic?

    Fourth - web browser - I think I just need to not think about a BlackBerry as a machine of websurfing.  Last night I tried to browse the web at a site and it took me forever!  I think it's high on BlackBerry ' to do' list while OS 6.0 was supposed to revolutionize our web experience.  Oh how I envy for my touchscreen when you surf...

    So, now to decide if I keep the Style of back flip BB more in the Android world - the good side of things, my battery life was impressive compared to my Android phone!  I even kept Pandora for a whole day and my battery was still fresh at the end of the day.  Perhaps some of the reason for the battery life is I don't jump on Wiki or search Google to understand the answer to your questions because I knew that the experience would be too painful, waiting for my BB browser, but still... a phone available for making/receiving calls throughout the DAY! Something that I have not had since I'm on BB some time ago...

    Thank you-

    Multiple e-mail accounts

    How can I configure two Time Warner Cable Road Runner under Outlook Express e-mail accounts? I wish I could separate emails for each account, but the access or the other at any time.
    You can use two different identities, or if you want to have access to these accounts in identity, set up your accounts and use message rules to move incoming messages.
     
    First, create a local folder to be used as a second Inbox and name it anything you want.  Use it to one of the accounts, as well as the default Inbox for the other.
     
    Then create a message rule.
     
    Where the message comes from the specified account.
    Move it to the specified folder & stop processing more rules.
    Click: specified account and enter the account name for the second Inbox.
    Click: specified folder and select the folder that you created.
    Name the rule.
     
    Move the rule to the top of the list of rules, and incoming messages will be separated into their respective folders.
