Allow sending from alias

I have been a .mac .me and now .icloud user on my home computer and now on my iphone 4. I have several aliases that I use for different occasions. I was always able to send mail using an alias as my sending address. On the iphone there is a system preference that allows sending from an alias. I have several checked off, however, when I try to use one I get an error message: "Address rejected by server".
The aliases appear on my icloud account preferences when I go to my icloud homepage, but it doesn't let me send using an alias address on my computer either.
thanks in advance for any information that would help.

Ernie,
You beat me to the punch... I was just about to reply with a follow-up asking if there was a way to do just that. Looks like I may need to use the separate accounts option in order to allow my to have Full Name information that is more helpful. For now, it won't be a problem because I only need 2 different addresses. If that changes in the future, however, I can see how it would be a problem.
It would be simple if I could add a comma-separated list of Full Names in the Full Name field (in the same order as the list of addresses) and have them match up.
Hmmm... might have to try that, just to see if it would work!
Thanks again.

Can Mail be configured to allow sending from a different alias/personality?

I have an IMAP mail account with Fastmail (fastmail.fm). That account is being used as a virtual domain to host e-mail from my real domain name... so mail sent to *@mydomain.com is going directly to the Fastmail servers/account.
On Fastmail, I can setup multiple personalities (i.e. [email protected], [email protected], etc) that I can both receive AND send mail from.
Without having to configure different accounts in Mail (since they're not separate accounts), is there a way that I can get separate addresses to send mail from, so that I can select in the FROM drop-down in the compose window if it's "[email protected]" or "[email protected]" etc? This works out-of-the-box for .Mac accounts...
Is this possible?
Thanks

Alternate email address, allow sending from etc

I have an Apple ID and am happy with it.
However somewhere along the line I have created 2 alternate email addresses that are permantly fixed to Iclod account, Ipad and Iphone.
They end in .me.com and .icloud.com
I did this originally so my wife could share my email account but diferentiate who sent the emails, for example to her friends not mine.
She now has her own apple ID and wants to use them on her own device.
I have been to manage my ID but am unable to change them. I want to delete them and get a new icloud address.
Any help gratefully received

Thank You for the quick reply.
It does seem that is the only way after spending hours trying to solve this issue and failing.
Appreciate your time and the information

How to configure Mail to send from off-site

I am trying to configure Mail on a laptop that will send and receive email both went it is connected to the servers ISP (on site) and when the laptop is connected to a non-site ISP. In other words when I am in the office I am connected to the ISP that is hosting my mail server. When I am out of the office and using an ISP that is not hosting the mail server. I have configured Mail such that I can send and receive email when I am onsite. When I am offsite I can receive email but not send it. In order to fix the problem I have tried configuring the SMTP to require password authentication using a couple of different server ports (i.e. 25, 110 & 587) but have been unable to send from off site. At this point I am at a loss as what to do. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

If the off-site ISP doesn’t let you send no matter what port you use, there is little, if anything, you can do about it. Many ISPs, however, only block port 25 for all traffic outside their own network. Something that usually works in those cases is changing the outgoing server port to 587 instead of 25 in Preferences > Accounts > Account Information > Outgoing Mail Server > Server Settings, but the outgoing server in question must listen to that port for this change to work.
If the off-site ISP allows sending on port 587, but the outgoing server you want to use doesn’t listen to that port, you may solve the problem by using an independent authenticated SMTP server that allows sending from any mail account no matter where you are.
A Gmail account, for example, would allow you to do this. Instructions for setting up a Gmail account are provided here:
http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=13275
After setting up the Gmail account in Mail and checking that it works, you can use Gmail's SMTP server to send from your other mail accounts as well:
1. Log into your Gmail account on the web.
2. Go to Settings > Accounts.
3. Enable the addresses you want to be able to send from, and let Gmail validate them by verifying that you do indeed own them.
4. For each mail account you want to send from using Gmail’s SMTP server, in Mail go to Preferences > Accounts, and choose Gmail’s SMTP server from the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) popup menu.

Sending Mail from Alias

I have two alias emails that I use for our web page, as well as for alternate email addy. When I try to send mail from the alias addresses in the Mail app I get the "cannot send using the server smtp.mac.com. The server response was: 5.7.0 From address is not one of your addresses Use the pop up menu below...". I have to select a different SMTP server and .mac server does not show on the listing but rather the other email servers (i.e. google/cox etc)
I have removed accounts, deleted servers, re-created cache etc for the Mail application, and even did a test of the address which worked fine once before.
My goal is to send announcements to family from the one alias so I know it was in response to the web page announcements etc. I wish to keep my primary as private as possible.
Thanks!

Hopefully I can answer your questions:
1) Alias(s) were created on Mobile Me on my account. From the Mail application I wish to "send" from the Alias(s) rather than my main email address i.e. - main email is [email protected], I created [email protected] via Mobile Me as an alias, in Mail application it allows you to select the "account" from which to send from. If I select the alias, I get the error message.
2) They are alias(s) that are part of my main email address for .mac. So I believe the are valid, unless I miss-understand the use of an alias and it is only for receiving mail.
3) Not sure, I think they would use the .mac SMTP server (?)

How to send from an email alias in Outlook?

Hi,
We have created several email alias for some partner teams here in the UK but shared with Romania (i.e [email protected]). We have approval for them to work externally and this seems to be working fine.
The question is how to send from this alias in beehive/outlook? In Thunderbird it is possible to do this via Tools > Account Settings > Manage Identities
Have briefly searched these forums but cannot find anything so any suggestions appreciated.
Regards,
Rich W.

Rich,
If this is a generic account then it should have a login to the system involved and Thunderbird allows the identity swap on the fly - To get Outlook to do this you would have to set up a new Profile in the Windows Mail app in the control panel and then close Outlook and re-open it with the new profile. Outlook unfortunately has no simultaneous access to different accounts - it is a single stream app (Microsoft decided on this approach, not us, so we have no control).
Sorry, I can't be more help.

Sending from an Alias in Mail 3.5?

How can I send from an Alias in Mail 3.5?
The "from" pop down menu doesn't list my 2 aliases? only my main .mac account
Thanks for any help anyone can provide!

As for what I think you are asking, re second paragraph, the answer is found in:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA23485
Add the alias addresses in manually as you would always have done with those that were not .Mac.
You are correct that you cannot actually edit text wise, but you can activate or make an alias inactive, and add new ones in the online Preferences display, or enter full Name specifics -- that is what is meant in the preferences in Mail by "Edit".
You have installed the MobileMe panel into System Preferences, haven't you?

TS2823 How do you setup an email alias to send from?

I have a domain alias on my phone that I would like to send from but I cannot find the option to do so. For example
[email protected]
[email protected]
I cannot send from the domain2.com email address (alias)

You should be able to access it from Safari on your MacBook, or another computer.
You can only access it on an iOS device if you use an altrenative browser like iCabMobile Web Browser, and set the Browser ID in the app's settings to Safari (Mac).

Mail.app - Gmail - IMAP - alias send from

I recently upgraded my OS and switched from POP to IMAP. Now I am no longer able to send an email through Mail.app for a imap gmail account FROM an alias.
[email protected] IMAP
me@domain - forwards to [email protected]
I want to be able to send from me@domain
I used to be able to do this with POP on a previous OS, now I don't know if it is the OS or mail protocol change that is preventing this, but all my emails show up as me@gmail even when I select a custom 'from' in mail.app
Thanks!

As jeremyScout replied, I don't think it's a matter of settings on gmail. I already send emails using an alias on gmail but on my ipad 4th gen I can't send them using the alias and I didn't found a solution yet.

Sending from an alias - sbs2011

Hi
I have a client with SBS2011 and Exchange.
He obviously has his user account
[email protected] - however we have a security group that accepts emails external called
[email protected] - This is used for Accounts emailing so banks etc...
Up until now everything has been fine with him receiving those Accounts emails as part of his membership to the Accounts security group.
Now he wants to be able to email from [email protected] is there anyway to enable this easily? Obviously I know I could set him up another mailbox, and then set up send as permissions which would do this, but then
he'd have 2 mailboxes to view... is this the only way or is there another way to do this?
Thanks
Tris

Hi Tris,
you can try this as an alternative!
Create a distribution group and put the alias on the distribution group and configure it with send as permissions.
First we start with removing the alias we want to send as from the original mailbox.
Now we create a new distribution group, give it a logical name, I always give it the name of the email alias and set the alias as email address.
Then we add the original mailbox as only member.
Now we need to set the Send As permissions for the original mailbox ([email protected]) on the newly created distribution list. This cannot be done via the exchange management console, we have to use the exchange management shell.
This is the command syntax: Add-ADPermission “public folder name ” -ExtendedRights Send-As -user “Domain\Username”
Now you are able to send as [email protected] also with the [email protected] address.
We do this by using the From… field in outlook, add the alias in the from field when you want to send from the alias. When you don’t see the from field go to the options menu and choose Show From.
Best thing to do is click the From… button and select the alias distribution group from the address list.

Anil

I have to agree with you , I too was disappointed to see that with IOS 4 on my iphone I still cant send from an alias. This is a feature thats available with the .me web access so why not the iphone mail app? If they can't do it, then at least let me be able to use .me via safari on the iphone and ipad.

Sending from a MobileMe alias on iPad?

Hi, I want to know if its possible to send email from iPad using an alias you can create on MobileMe?
ie, on MobileMe web interface you can go into settings and create any @me.com address, and then it's available in to use in the 'from' field when you compose an email.
So it's not a case of adding a whole new MobileMe account into the iPad, it's sending from an alias in my current, main profile.
Is it possible to do this on iPad? I'm guessing in typical Apple style it isn't...

Wolf Thandoy wrote:
Reason is, Michael, unless the alias accounts are created, the alias 'from' address does not appear in my pick list
And yet, neither I nor the many others doing it this way have created any sort of an account for the aliases but are nevertheless able to use them is exactly the way described.
However with two aliases (plus the actual account), the iPad is now receiving three copies of everything to my .mac address?!
This should not surprise you — you have set things up to receive the same message to three different accounts.
Now I'm lost. If I switch off synchronisation of email for the alias account(s), I again lose the ability to send mail from it. Drat. I know there is a way. There must be a way. Next?
Sorry, but Next must be Last. I can't think of anything else to be done on the iPad itself. Externally, and just working from memory here, I'm fairly sure that MobileMe itself would have to be set up so that the desired aliases are active, and in iTunes I think you may have to use the option to sync over all mail accounts and settings or whatever looks similar to that.
In any event, it's something which merely happens. Keep working at it and you'll get there. Start by getting rid of the two extra accounts.

Choosing Alias for email send from iPhone

Hi,
how can I choose an Alias for emails send from the iPhone, like I do in Mail on my Mac?

If you are using MobileMe the iPhone does not support sending emails from alias's.

Can you send from a Hotmail alias?

1) I have aliases set up in Hotmail. 
2) I set up related Identities in Thunderbird (using IMAP). 
3) I select an alias above in Thunderbird as the "From" when sending mail. 
4) Mail is sent from the wrong alias! (recipient sees the wrong "From" address) 
Hotmail seems to only send as its default send-from, regardless of which From identity was selected in Thunderbird. Is there any way to properly send from Hotmail (a.k.a. Live or Outlook) aliases? 
Thank you for reading!

I'm just confused as to why you thought your article was relevant here. It does not seem to address my question in any way. Thank you anyways.

Mail: How do I chose an alias email address to send from?

Is there a way to chose from my alias email addresses, to override the default MobileMe account email address, when replying to a message?
iPhone OS 3.1.2

Thanks. That answers my question, but doesn't help my situation. Not much sense in having alias emails, other then with my MAC/MobileMe, if I can't use them from my iPhone. I have to wait until I return home to reply if I don't want to send from my main email.
