ALIAS email account doesn't work quite right

Is there anyway to make this iPhone email app work just like it does on the computer with the Alaises?
I set up my Alias email name as a separate account within the Email settings, so that if I am on the road, I could still make it work like I do with my regular Mail account on the computer or webmail at .Mac -
but it doesn't work.
If click on the Alias account as it shows, it ends up sending the email from my main account name and does not distinguish it like it does on my computer.
This is a problem for me, as I use 4 aliases, just to differentiate my work focuses. The Mail app in the iPhone should do exactly what the computer does, but it sends everything out as my real account name.
Any fixes???
Thank you!

I have three separate email accounts set up on my phone. They are all three POP3 accounts. My main account, my work account, and my student account. My work and student account outgoing servers do not allow for relaying, so I have to use something else to send them from. I use my main ISP outgoing server for that because it has authentication. In the setup for my work and student accounts on the phone, the information entered has my work email address on the one, and my student address on the other. When I send mail from either of those accounts, it shows as being from those accounts. Even replies to mail I receive there shows as being from those accounts. I can't speak about IMAP accounts, not the .Mac. I did set the accounts up directly on the phone, not by syncing them from my computer.
Hope this information is of some help for you.

Email account doesn't work with ios7

I'm an italian user.
I have upgraded to IOS7.
After upgrade some email accounts works fine and other email accounts doesn't work at all (Alice from telecom, Tiscali).
Any suggestion ?

The problem is deeper than that. It's not reader. Now the same form I was creating in LifeCycle Designer ES2 yesterday, with the actions working perfectly, no longer work. None of the actions are working.
Could it be realted to me trying to set the default version compatibility to Adobe 7. It gave me warnings, so I set it back to 9.
Any help would be appreciated.

I created an apple ID account to my Iphone, but the system doesn´t send the verification link to my email adress. I tried many times with the buton "send verification email" but doesn´t work.

It's a really bad idea to post your email addresess - it's an invitation to spam - and I've asked the Hosts to remove them.
This is a user-to-user forum and no-one on here can take any direct action. If your Yahoo address is not working that's something you would need to take up with Yahoo - have you checked it by sending yourself an email to it?
Otherwise you will need to contact Support: go to https://expresslane.apple.com/ and click on 'iTunes' in the center column and then 'iTunes Store' in the right-hand column and proceed from there.

Sorry for the delay...
I did what you've told me, new account and manually copied my files from Time Machine. I had lots of permissions problems, but at the end, almost everything is in order... It seems it had to be with some of the Apple Preferences, but I can't be sure, as most of them were dumped to the trash can.
I still don't have my Mail Rules back, unfortunately, although I did goggled some. It is a pity, as I had around 30 or 40 of them, getting my mail in order to each of its mailboxes, but it is a small price as the rest doesn't show the before syntoms.
Thanks for the help, anyway!!

Every time one of my email addresses doesn't work on my mail app, due to wrong password or whatever, it deletes all of the contacts form my phone. What can I do to stop this from happening?

Every time one of my email addresses doesn't work on my mail app, due to wrong password or whatever, it deletes all of the contacts form my phone. What can I do to stop this from happening?
I have tried deleting the account and it deletes all my contacts. I have verizon and even using back up assistant, it says the contacts are there but they aren't. The only way i can find a contact is if I start to type a name in and new text but once i sent the new text, the name disappears and it just shows the number. Siri nor the address book don't recognize any contacts at all.

I cant find any reciept in my email or in my husbands email. I am going to attempt to call and speak to someone who can help me because this was not my fault except trying to be normal and update my phone!

Account doesn't work on Mac Mail but does on iPhone

I have a IMAP email account with my company that works on my iPhone and in Entourage but doesn't work in Mac Mail. I have tried to copy the settings and even did a full erase and reinstall of Leopard and no one has an idea why it won't work, the hosting company or Pro Care. Any idea out there?

I forgot my security question and when I try to press send it by email it doesn't work I've tried so many times and I didn't get any email pleas help me fastest as possible , thank you

It would go to a separate rescue email that is different than your Apple ID.
If you do not have a rescue email address (different from alternate email address) set up, you forgot it or no longer have it, then you will need to contact iTunes Support online: http://apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html (select Account Security as your help topic) or by phone: Apple Support Numbers

Trouble using mobile me alias email account on iphone

I am unable to use any of my mobile me alias email accounts on my 3G i phone. The base email account works well.
On my home computer (Dell with xp), I have mobile me mail preferences set to use an alias account as default when sending email from mobile me. This works well on the computer but the preference is not followed on the phone.
This is in addition to not being able to enter the alias email as an account on the phone itself.

Here is a thread regarding the same question discussed in June of this year. To my knowledge the problem hasn't been solved yet, however there are some options to get you half-way there.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1614481&start=0&tstart=0
I'll admit I haven't looked into this since June, so there may have been updates since then. But as I recall the options are as follows:
1) Enable only your default mobileme (mm) address and you'll only be allowed to send from that account.
2) Enable both your default mm address and an alias, you will be able to send from either address, but every email you receive to either account will show up twice (once under each account).
3) Enable only the alias. If you do this, your iphone will no longer will receive push notification of incoming emails, it seems to require the default address for this functionality.
Hopefully all this information is correct, this was my understanding at the time I got too frustrated with it to look into it any further.

Hello Vaidas Vaidas,
It sounds like you are noticing someone else is accessing your Clash of Clans data by playing the game and you have tried to reset your Apple ID password. If you are following the steps outlined in this article:

What is preventing you from changing your password? Any error messages or prompts?

N97 Proximity Sensor doesn't work quite as well?

I just recently updated my phone and it seems like the switch from portrait and landscape doesn't work quite as well. The angle at which I have to put it on landscape is steeper and it's really annoying. Anyone else have this problem?
edit: I know the firmware went through coz the lock bug isn't there anymore. but when I connect via USB it still tells me "charging" . Just saying
Message Edited by arvuitton on 11-Jul-2009 02:54 AM

hey there, what you are referring to isn't the proximity sensor lol. the proximity sensor is basically used to detect when your face is close enough to the phone (i.e. when pressing your ear against earpiece), so that the display switches off to stop accidental presses of the screen, and to conserve power by turning the backlight off. anyways what you are referring to are the sensor settings for the accelerometer in your phone. i don't have a N97 so can't vouch for what you're saying, although it may not exactly be a bug, rather a tweak of the accelerometer settings. from memory, the N97 charges via USB, does it not? this behaviour will be automatic upon plugging the cable into your PC. i doubt that there is an option to turn it off, though i am not exactly 100% sure about this. this behaviour may be changed in future firmware updates or it may not, as the phone relies on USB charging as its sole charging method. but its not really a bug as such.
please throw some kudos our way, it would mean a lot to us
If you found this or someone's comments helpful or like what that person has to say, please give some Kudos to their post!

HT3376 My Bt Yahoo email account doesn't accept my password when my Mac gives it but if I access my BT yahoo via Safari it accepts the password

my BT yahoo email account doesn't accept my password when my Mac tries to access it using mac mail but when I access My BT Yahoo via Safari it accepts the password.

When it doesn't accept the password from Mail , it can be things other than the password actually.
It could be their Server, which is contacted differently than through WebMail, it just means the Server listening on this port, (or not listening), is not finding your username & password.

After I have upgraded to the new iOS 6.1.2, the email software doesn't work and is not downloading. While before it was working fine.
How to fix this?

There seems to be massive amounts of problems with every aspect of iOS 6. From what I understand all you can do is try and reset your device and pray that Apple bequeaths working software next time or allows users to revert to iOS 5 while they search for someone who knows what they are doing. Perhaps you will need to use an alternate email app until then? (Although, Gmail seems to be the only one that works properly)
