Mac Forum / Applications / Mac Applications / October 2006mail.app: 2 different accounts, same POP server?
I need to set up a second email account on the same POP server in mail.app, but it seems that mail.app cannot do this.(beach ball spins and spins when trying to authenticate POP account) Is there a way to do this, without setting up a new user account on my mac?

Weird. I am trying to set up a second account on the same POP server. Both the first and second account have exactly the same POP server. The username and passwords are both different for the two accounts. Mail just won't set up the second account. Sheesh!

When you say "set up the second account," do you mean you're literally trying to set it up, from scratch, in Mail? Or do you mean you've already established it with your mail provider and you're just trying to enter that info into Mail? If it's the former, that's your problem--the account already has to exist. Mail (or any email client) can only access an account, not create one.

I can access the account just fine from the webmail location for the account. No problems there. This morning mail.app *finally* authenticated the POP and SMTP servers and completed the account. I have no idea why it failed yesterday. thanks for all of your inputs on this irksome problem!

No problems whatever. But the accounts themselves have different names, though?

"Mamamia", let me just join Mike R. in stressing that Mail has to relate to an _existing_ account on the server. I hope that is clear for you? Mail in and of itself will not set up a new account for you on the server, just fetch and send mail to and from an account that is already there. God luck!

I have five of them, but I wasn't the one who did the setup. Can't be THAT hard.
