I've been using Mail for several years and love it. My wife has been with AOL but now wants to move to Mail. \n\nIs there a way to have two separate accounts, two address books, and two separate Mail icons to click to open, so we aren't tempted to look at each other's incoming/outgoing mail? Also, our address books are very different and we'd rather not intermingle them. \n\niMac G5, iBook G4, Airport Extreme   Mac OS X (10.5.8)     \nKirály \n\n \nPosts: 5,060 \nFrom: Vancouver\nRegistered: Feb 6, 2006\nRe: Two Separate Mail Accounts w/Two Separate Address Books? \nPosted: Dec 15, 2009 12:11 PM   in response to: StacheCache   \n  Reply Email\n\nGo to System Preferences -> Accounts and set up different user login accounts for you and your wife. Not only will you get what you want with Mail and Address Book, but each of you will be able to customize your own Dock, desktop background, screen saver, application preferences, etc. It's like each of you will have your very own Mac. \n\neMac (PowerPC G4, 1.25GHz, 1.5GB RAM, USB 2.0)   Mac OS X (10.5.8)     \nStacheCache \n \nPosts: 12 \nFrom: Denver\nRegistered: Nov 26, 2004\nRe: Two Separate Mail Accounts w/Two Separate Address Books? \nPosted: Dec 17, 2009 9:01 AM   in response to: Király   \n  Reply Email\n\nThanks for your help!

Time and again, for certain tricks you have to go to specific locations in the library, and you do so without understanding the why and how of it. No not you. I know you are experienced enough to understand what the library folder, which is why I'd suggest you pass up this guide to your newbie Mac friends.\n\nBack to the Library folder, there's in fact three of them. There's two systemwide Library folders, one placed inside the Mac HD, and the second one is in the Mac HD » System folder. The third one's for each user account on the system placed inside the Home folder. I'm going to focus more on the one in the user home folder, as tampering with the one at System level might create havoc in your system.\n\nWhile Mac applications are single units of functionality, when you first launch an app it creates certain files across your system. The two main places where you will find these files are:\n\nPreferences\nAlmost every application you launch will create a preference '.plist' file in the Preferences folder, sometimes more than one. This is an XML file which stores your preferences you've changed in each application. If for instance you want to make an application behave like it was just launched on your Mac, just delete the respective .plist file and it'll all go back to square one.\n\nApplication Support\nIf an application needs to store data, not the kind you can carry around, it will create a folder in the Application Support folder. For instance, Things will store its database here, Clipboard managers will store past clips, and FTP clients will store favourites and bookmarks. If you ever need to transfer an application to another Mac and move all that data, these are the folders you need to copy. This folder is also important for troubleshooting apps. For instance
