Use Mail to send from a different account linked to Gmail

I use Gmail as my main personal email account and usually use with Mail via POP.
I also have Gmail set up to send from another account (my work address) which I can do by selecting a different "From".
This second email address is actually a MS Exchange Server mailbox, and I think the Gmail is just sending 'on behalf of' and getting replies sent to that address.
Is it possible to get the same results directly within Mail? (Not a huge problem if not, I can just log onto the Gmail website, but it would be nice to use Mail if possible).

I've had the same issue as you, and found this helpful.
Basically go into the Mail preferences and under accounts add the accounts (which Gmail gathers) that you want to send from to the "Email Adress" bar using a comma. For example:
Email Adress: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]
Then a drop-down menu will appear when creating/responding to mail that allows you to select which account to send from.
It can't seem to automatically respond to emails using the address it was sent to unfortunately, which Gmail cleverly does. But it's a step closer.
Anyways, check out the link. It was helpful for me!

    I have 4 email accounts in apple Mail.  My mail is sending from the wrong account.  even on "reply" it sends from a different account.  I have 3 gmail accounts and one exchange server account. I choose which account to send from and it still sends from the same gmail account.  Help.

    I HAD two accounts because of this problem.  I completely removed the problem account from the Apple Mail client.  Guess what is happening??  That's right - Mail is still sending from the other account that no longer exists on my computer, and I have absolutely no idea how this is happening.  This is incredibly frustrating.  When a recipient chooses to reply to my message, quite often I won't get it now because it is going to the other account that has now been deleted from my system.  COME ON APPLE!!! WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH THIS???

  • Mac Mail not sending from correct account.

    I constantly use Mail to send and receive emails on my MacBook.
    On it I have three email 'accounts' - my me.com address (for formal emails to work, banks etc.), my "junk" address (for spam, gaming etc.) and my "home" address (for personal emails and everything else).
    When typing an email, if I choose to send it from a different account than the one I originally selected, I can just change it in the 'From' pop-down menu (under the 'To', 'Cc', 'Bcc' and 'Subject' fields).
    Recently though, for some reason when I want to send an email from my "home" address, it sends it from my "junk"one instead, even if I am sending it 'From' my "home" address.
    It still has my "home" address' signature, and not every time it does send from my "junk" one instead - rather it seems to send from both as it feels up to.
    This bothers me quite a bit, especially when I send an important email using my "home" address but it sends from my "junk" - both confusing and annoying me and the recipients.
    This only just started happening to me this past week. Does anyone else have the same issue, and any help would be greatly appreciated

    Some mail servers such as gmail will change the address when sending from one account through another account's server.
    Go into Mail's preferences under Accounts. Highlight each account and make sure the correct outgoing server is listed for that account with the correct user name and password. Each account should have their own. Check the box to use only that server with that account. Do this for all accounts.
    If you don't check the box and the server fails, it will move on to the next one in the list. Then you will get the address from that server even though you're sending from a different account.
    If the server does fail, you will get a selection box to try again or select another server.

  • I can receive emails from three different accounts but can't send a photo. It says the server doesn't allow relaying???

    I can receive emails from three different accounts but can't send a photo from them. It says the server doesn't allow relaying???

    I have a hard time describing this exactly, so I copied this from another thread. This seems to be a recent issue with AOL email accounts on the iPad the past few days. I have two AOL accounts and they work fine. See if this works for you.
    +If you cannot send, under the smtp server your user name and password must be entered even though the prompt tells you it is optional.  As a mobile device the port used is different from the one I would normally use if at home and therefore validation is required by use of the password.  The normal port for the smtp server is 110 but to use on a mobile unit like the iPad port 587 is used.+
    The big thing is to make sure that your username and password are filled in - Select your email account in the Mail setting and tap on the arrow next to the smtp server under the Outgoing Mail Server and then tap on the arrow next to smtp server under the Primary Server and fill in the information in there.
    Some times you have to resort to deleting the account and starting over again.

  • I have multiple email accounts in my iPhone. Before the 6.0 update... I could select what account to send from. Now it's a default. Do I have to go change the email default everytime I want to send an email from a different account?

    I have multiple email accounts in my iPhone 4. Before the 6.0 update... I could select what account to send from each time. Now it's a default. Do I have to go change the email default setting everytime I want to send an email from a different account?

    In Mail Preferences/Accounts/each GMail account, set up the SMTP Outgoing Server for each account separately, going into SMTP name/edit/Advanced and specify the Username of each account.  The Outgoing servers must be two different servers, authenticated by the Username and Password of each.
    Otherwise, the GMail SMTP server will change the from address to that of the account where the SMTP server was setup.

  • When I want to attach a file to an e-mail I'm sending from my iCloud account it makes the file show up in the body of the e-mail instead of attaching it as a separate file the receiver can open.  How can I change this?

    When I want to attach a file to an e-mail I'm sending from my iCloud account it makes the file show up in the body of the e-mail instead of attaching it as a separate file the receiver can open.  How can I change this?

    It should be an attachment.  Your Mac just displays a preview of certain attachments (such as .pdfs) in the body of the message.  A PC, for example, will see it as an attached file rather than a preview.
    You can save the attachment on your Mac by Control-clicking on it and selecting Save Attachment.

  • Sending from a different email address

    I need to be able to send from a different email address (not @me.com) from icloud.com mail but it wont allow me.  I teach at a university and need to be able to email from my school address and using the old mobileme interface I was able to do this.  Now I cannot email out from my school email address through icloud. Is there a way around this?  The school only allows you to email your class mail list from you school email address and now I cannot email my class from icloud.   Please help.  Unforunately, I have to use PC's at school so I am only working from the icloud.com mail.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    There shouldn't be any reason you can't use additional email accounts alongside your iCloud account, I do.
    Do you still have your alternate account set up on the iPhone, settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Accounts.

  • Do I need to use mail if I have an iCloud account?

    Do I need to use "mail" if I have an iCloud account?

    Mac Mail should be called Mac Mail Reader. It is intended to make picking up, sorting, organizing, and sending mail through one or several mail accounts (one of which could be iCloud) easier.
    You can use WebMail (not an Application, you just navigate to the iCloud mail repository with your Browser).
    You can use a different mail reader. I think Mozilla was providing one if you like their stuff.

  • Transfer mail and contact from an old account to a new one ?

    Hi,
    The employe from the company where I got my internship are currently using mail address that are like [email protected] and the company wants them to
    use the new mail address [email protected] (in both case the employee are using outlook). 
    The problem is that they would like to keep their old mail and contact. I know you can do a manual archive but can you import it in a new account ? Will it also
    save the contact of the user ? Since it's a new account with a new domain, I really have no idea how to transfer mail and contact from the old account to the new one.
    Best regards,
    Dimitri

    This step-by-step article describes how to copy or how to move your Personal Address Book (PAB) from one computer to another
    computer. 
    On all installations, including those with no e-mail accounts, Microsoft Outlook creates a default Outlook Address Book. The Outlook
    Address Book consolidates all your Outlook Contacts folders. The Outlook Address Book is a virtual address book instead of a physical address book because Outlook does not store the Outlook Address Book as a file that is separate from your data store. The
    Outlook Address Book provides a view to your Contacts folders. 
    Unlike the Outlook Address Book, a personal address book (PAB) is a physical address book that Outlook stores on disk that is separate
    from your data store. You can add one PAB to an e-mail profile, and use the PAB to store additional contact information.
    You can use the PAB to store personal addresses or to store other contact information that you want to keep separate from your other
    Outlook data. Additionally, you can use a PAB to share addresses with other users. The PAB uses a .pab file name extension, and Outlook creates the PAB file when you add the PAB to your e-mail profile.
    How to identify the PAB file that your e-mail profile uses
    Start Outlook.
    On the Tools menu, click E-mail Accounts.
    Under Directory, click View or change existing directories or address books, and then click Next.
    Under You can choose a directory or address book below to change or remove it, click Personal Address Book, and then
    click Change.
    Note the path of your PAB file that is in the Path box. You will require this information to find the PAB file in step 3 in the "How to copy the PAB file to
    a second computer" section of this article. 
    For example, C:\Exchange\Mailbox.pab indicates that a PAB named Mailbox.pab is located on a Microsoft Exchange folder on your drive C.
    Click OK, and then click Finish to close all dialog boxes.
    On the File menu, click Exit.
    How to copy the PAB file to a second computer
    Quit all e-mail programs.
    Start Microsoft Windows Explorer.
    In the Folders pane, expand the folders to locate the PAB file whose path you took note of in step 5 in the "How to identify the PAB File that your e-mail profile
    uses" section of this article.
    Copy the PAB file to a 3.5 inch disk, and then use that disk to copy the PAB file to the second computer. Note the path of the PAB file on the second computer. 
    For example, if you copy the PAB file named Mailbox.pab to a folder that is named Address Book on drive C, the path of the address book is as follows:
    C:\Address Book\Mailbox.pab
    Alternatively, if your two computers are on the same network, you can copy the PAB file from the source computer to a network share on the second computer.
    For more information about how to perform this task in Microsoft Windows, see your Windows printed documentation or your online Help. 
    Note You can save the PAB file in any folder on the destination computer as long as you remember the location.
    How to configure your second computer to use the new PAB file
    If you do not have the Personal Address Book service in your e-mail profile on the second computer, you must add the service before
    you can add the new PAB file to your profile. To add the Personal Address Book service for the new PAB file, follow these steps:
    Start Outlook.
    On the Tools menu, click E-mail Accounts.
    Under Directory, click Add a new directory or address book, and then click Next.
    Click Additional Address Books, and then click Next.
    In the Additional Address Book Types box, click Personal Address Book, and then click Next.
    In the Path box, type the path of the PAB file that you copied to the second computer in step 4 in the "How to copy the PAB file to a second computer" section
    of this article. Alternatively, you can click Browse to locate the PAB file.
    Click OK.
    If you receive the The E-mail account you have just added will not be start until you choose Exit from the file menu, and then restart Outlook prompt, click OK.
    On the File menu, click Exit, and then restart Outlook. Your new PAB is now available.
    If you have the Personal Address Book service in your e-mail profile on the second computer, you can change the service to use the
    new PAB file. To change an existing Personal Address Book service to use the new PAB file, follow these steps:
    On the second computer, start Outlook.
    On the Tools menu, click E-mail Accounts.
    Under Directory, click View or change existing directories or Address Books, and then click Next.
    In the Outlook processes e-mail for these accounts in the following order list, click Personal Address Book, and
    then click Change.
    On the Personal Address Book tab, type the path of the PAB file that you copied to the second computer in step 4 in the "How to copy the PAB file to a second
    computer" section of this article. Alternatively, you can click Browse to locate the PAB file.
    Click the PAB file, click OK, and then click Finish.
    On the File menu, click Exit.
    Quit and then restart Outlook. Your new PAB is now available.
    Note There can be only one Personal Address Book service per e-mail profile. There is not a method for merging
    one PAB file with another. You can use the Outlook Import and Export Wizard to merge the active PAB entries in your Contacts folder. 
    Additionally, you can add both recipients and distribution lists to contacts that are in the Personal Address Book interface in
    Microsoft Office Outlook 2003. 
    For more information about the Outlook Import and Export Wizard, click Microsoft
    Office Outlook Help on the Help menu,
    type Outlook Import and Export Wizard in
    the Search for box
    in the Assistance pane, and then click Start searching to
