Yes all around.:) First, there’s no real advantage I don’t think to having multiple accounts unless you have say a dedicated business phone and home phone or maybe a business account and your over all family account. There may be reasons to split and maybe others have better ideas but for me having one account for everything is the way to go. Everything syncs across devices, you get a nice unified experience, put me down for suggesting one ID everywhere.
Secondly, in your iPhone settings under settings, mail and contacts, you’ll find the ability to set the scheduling for each account so you could for example manually read your mind spring account if you needed to but your Gmail will always be updated. Another alternate way to go is to install the gmail app, use that for your google mail and use your mind spring in your phone but that’s probably not as clean. Let me know if you have any questions. > On Jul 3, 2016, at 10:38 AM, Arnold Schmidt <arno...@mindspring.com> wrote: > > When I set up my Mac mini, I used the same Apple Id that I use on my phone. > My general question: Being that I am the only one who will be using these > devices, is there any advantage to having two separate id's? > > My mail question: ICloud installed the information for my gmail account, > which I use on my phone, onto my Mac.
