Iphone sending emails from wrong address

My Iphone is sending emails from a gmail account I no longer wish to use. I cannot find any trace of these details on the phone, I have deleted and set up the one I want to use but it is still happening. I am missing important messages because I send them from the correct details but if people hit 'reply' they are sent to gmail. Soooooo annoying!

Reboot your iPhone. Then check Settings > Mail > Accounts and make sure the account you no long want to use is either turned off ( if you plan to use it again in the future) or deleted.

APPLE MAIL is sending emails from wrong address

Hello,
This question has probably been asked before, but I haven't been able to find it. Feel free to send me there with a link if it's helpful.
Here's my plight:
I use gmail IMAP and manage 2 email accounts through Apple Mail (5.2). One is the domain catch-all email, [email protected], and the other is my main personal account, [email protected] Usually, whichever mailbox I click on is the address from which my mail is sent. But recently, whenever I've sent mail from [email protected], the recipient has been seeing my personal address ([email protected]), rather than the Info address. But the address line still says "Info" and not my name, if that makes sense. Example:
NORMAL: FirstName LastName "<[email protected]>"; Info "<[email protected]">
NOW (PROBLEM): Info "<[email protected]>"
The replies to the mail I sent from Info are then sent to my personal account. I checked the mail preferences and the Info settings are the same as they've always been. It says the name is Info and the address is [email protected] I'm not sure why Apple Mail is suddenly thinking that the Info emails are coming from my personal account. Is this an Apple Mail issue, or a Gmail issue? Help! I don't want people to be receiving emails from my personal account when it should be from the Info account. Do I need to delete the entire Info mailbox from Apple Mail and start all over?
Thanks for your help!

Agreed. I had three gmail accounts, 2 business, one personal, but lately all my attempts to send mail from my personal account wound up being sent from Business instead, even after selecting which account to send it from.
I went into Preferences, Account info, then found all outgoing smtp servers simply called gmail but there were three in the list. It turned out that all my accounts were being directed to one server address.
If you drop down the Edit SMTP Server list, then select each account under Account Information you can see which server is dedicated to which account. Then you can edit the name of the related gmail server to the related account. So you can have gmail personal, gmail business 1, gmail business 2 etc.
Once you have the servers renamed (all the same actually but tells mail which account credentials to use), you can then select the appropriate server to match the right account under Preferences>Account Info front page.
Worked for me.

Sending email from different addresses under one account.

Hello,
So, I'm having an issue that's a little bit complicated, and in fact, I don't even know if there is a solution. But, if anyone knows how to do this, I'd greatly appreciatte your help.
So, here's what I'm trying to do.
Right now, I have three different email accounts, an icloud and two gmails. I have both of those gmails set up so that they forward to my icloud account. So, in the mail app on my iphone, I only have my icloud account. I've been trying to reduce clutter by doing this, and it seems to be working pretty well, save for this issue.
The problem I am having is still being able to respond to emails sent to one of those two gmail accounts with the same email address. I.e.-if someone emails me at my gmail account, it's then forwarded to icloud, but I still want to respond from that gmail account using the mail app on my iphone. I'd like to do this without setting adding the two "dead" gmail accounts onto my phone, because everything is more streamlined when I'm only using icloud.
I've been able to do this using iMail on my mac by adding the two gmail addresses to my icloud account in settings, as well as the gmail server. So on my mac, I only have icloud set up in imail, but I can compose emails using my two gmail addresses. I pretty much want to be able to do the same thing on my iphone.
Does anyone know how this can, or even if, it can be set up?
Also, if it can't be done in the native mail app to ios, do you know of any third party apps where something like this would be possible?
Thanks!!1

Hi 3s1k,
Thank you for your question.
When he replies to my email and changes the "send From"
to [email protected] and send the email, It will still show that it was sent from @mainDomain.com.
Now, I think the issue is within his Exchange mailbox, his default reply email address is @MainDomain.com.
A:You are right. By our testing. We could just send emails with primary address, but we could receive emails with primary address and second address.
How do I get around this. The client wants to utilize sending email from both domains since he has clients in both domains.
A: If we want to send email with specific email address, we could manually modify the primary email address to the specific domain by Exchange administrator. And the client didn’t use customized email address to send emails.
If there are any questions regarding this issue, please be free to let me know.
Best Regard,
Jim

TS3899 Problems sending email from hotmail addresses in iPad Mail

Hi
I am having problems sending email from my hotmail addresses (live.com) in the Mail program on my iPad. I get a message that says "An error occurred while sending this message". Tis morning the program worked perfectly. Now, not so much!
I have turned my iPad off and on. I have deleted and reinstalled the mail accounts. Neither strategy helped.
I have no problems with my gmail address. I can send mail if I log on to the hotmail website in Safari.
Any ideas?
Thanks

23circles:
I would like to find a way to only have the gmail inbox but still send from any three of her accounts.
You can do it this way:
Set up only one account. The one from which you want to receive mail.
In Mail > Preferences > Accounts > +gmail acct+ > Email Address insert the other email addresses, separating each with a comma and single space.
Only the GMail account will receive incoming Mail. However, when you want to send from another address, in the From dropdown menu toggle the address from which you wish to send mail.
You will, of course, delete the other accounts you have created to avoid getting incoming messages.

Mailbox sending emails from another address?

I don't think this is in the right category however I couldn't work out which forum to put it under.
Basically I have several accounts in my mailbox. I recently deleted one of them as I don't want to use that email address anymore, however, emails are STILL sending from that email addressdespite it not being listed in my mailbox anymore and even when I've chosen the actualy email address I want to send it from in the drop down (where this old one no longer appears)
Why is this happening? They're Gmail accounts by the way.

You can check your Gmail SMTP (outgoing) account setting in Mail > Preferences > Accounts (see below). Make sure it's set to the correct account.

Receiving Email from wrong address

2. user from outside is trying to send email to Exchange user but when the recipient receive the email, it appear that another exchange user is sending the email.
3. one my Exchange user is sending email to other users within the organization but when the recipient receive the email, it appear that another outside user is sending the email.

Looking forward to receive your suggestion to resolve the issue.

1. That can happen if the other user is sending from the first user or is logged into the other user's mailbox. See if you can reproduce the issue while watching exactly what the users are doing. That may also happen if one user is forwarding
the mail by rule.
2. That can also appear to be the case when the apparent sender is forwarding mail by rule.
3. Using ADSI Edit, look at the legacyExchangeDN attribute of the users. Please post them here if you have any questions.

Send Email from Alternate Address or at least Repl...

I'm coming from the world of blackberries, so pardon my frustration. I've tried to find a solution for this and am coming up empty. My situation: I have a work email, however, it is a Pop account (nothing I can do about that). I am out of the office a lot so I need to be able to have real time access to my emails (push). I setup a gmail account for my work address then had my it admin forward all incoming mail to the gmail account... and just have my reply to address be my work email address. Great on a blackberry. Not so great so far on my E71. Now when I try to send an email, it shows that it's coming from my gmail account vs my work account. The only email that will let me do this is the gmail app, but unfortunately it doesn't have a method to notify me of new messages on the phone.
Is there an email client out there that will either let me customize the outgoing server credentials or include a different reply to address?
I like the look and integration of Nokia messaging (html, keyboard shortcuts, layout, etc). All the rest just look like **bleep** from what I've tried (bunched sender name, title, non html email, etc.) Am I just spoiled coming from a blackberry that had everything built in and just worked? Thanks for taking the time to look at this.

I talked with a tech today and he said I cloud is having problems which should be resolved shortly.
In the mean time I used the .me smtp server settings which allowed me to send mail.

Mail is sending email from wrong account.

Every time I send or reply to an email it sends from my wifes account. If people reply to it, it goes back to her account. when I compose a new email I use the drop down menu that says from: *******@me.com, I make sure its from my account and I send it. When it gets to the person its says its from my wife. I have look in the preferences and it is using selected account to send from. I have tried to force it to only send from my account but it always sends from my wifes account. Any Ideas?

Where is the "Reply to" in Mail preferences?
Not in Preferences. That usually works for a message-by-message basis.
With a message composition window open in Apple Mail make the following menu selection:
View > Reply-To Address Field.
If it's blank, fine.
It is possible to make it permanent via Terminal, someone would have had to do it at some stage; just wanted to ensure it was not fixed.
Do check the SMTP servers set for each account.

Load x# of messages when sending email from my pop account

Hi
I'm getting a "load x# of messages" when sending email from any address on my pop account. No problem receiving messages from other accounts. Is there a setting that can remedy this?
Thanks

My z10 is going back today, for multiple reasons
Contacts won't sync across
Won't work properly with my car when all previous BBs did
Lots of useful features have disappeared
But most importantly NONE of my email accounts will send mail from it when they all did previously with the Storm2.
A big thumbs down from me for the z10 even if it is a fancy looking phone and the browser is much better. I stuck with BB because I wanted a tool not a toy

Try closing the Mail app completely and see if it works properly when you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

3rd party email addresses have to be deleted on every synmced mac product, although I have 1and1.co.uk and my imac updatetes the mails in that account from mac mail.
Yahoo etc is a 2 step deleting process but good to get your emails pushed when on the go.

Cannot send email from iPad & iPhone with Virgin Media

I cannot send emails from my iPad and iPhone. I have a virginmedia.com address and I can receive but just cannot send. A message keeps saying the smpt settings are wrong. However, I have followed the tutorial on Virgin Media web site (this is how I managed to start receiving emails on my devices) but still not sending. I have looked at the settings in my MacBook Pro and all seem to be correct. Does anyone have an idea what could be wrong? I had a similar problem when I loaded Microsoft Office 365 for Mac; I had to end up calling Virgin Media (useless) and then Microsoft (useful). Anyhow I have looked at the settings on the Mac and they all seem to correspond with the ipad and iphone but still cannot send emails. V V Frustrated.
Thanks for reading.

Then make sure that the settings are correct in your email account.
Check the outgoing mail server setting. Make sure that your username and password are in there.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.

I cannot send email from my iPhone.

When I try to send email from my iPhone I get an error message telling me that the email address was rejected by the server. I can receive email with no problem. I must have something wrong in Settings, but all looks OK to me.

try deleting the account and reinputting it.
