Can I send email using my own domain address with iCloud the way I can with gmail?

Let's say I own mydomain.com and have a [email protected] email account.  I have set that up to forward to gmail, and that would be easy to switch to iCloud.  Here's the tricky part: gmail allows me to send email as [email protected]  I've been doing this for years and it works, but I'd like to switch from gmail to iCloud.  Can I set up this same behavior with an iCloud @me.com address (which I already have but haven't been using yet)?  I know I can obviously switch the forwarding of incoming mail to my @me.com address...  but can I send [email protected] email through iCloud the way I can with gmail?  All of my devices are Apple: a Mac Mini using Apple's Mail app, and an iPhone and an iPad both using the Apple email app, so I'd rather switch everything over from gmail to iCloud.
P.S.  Awe, c'mon Apple.  Don't turn those fake addresses into links.  I just used them for the sake of giving an example.

Ah, I should have made that clear.  My domain didn't come from google.  It was purchased at and is hosted at dreamhost, but I haven't used their email servers in years - I just route everything through gmail.  I actually have a bunch of domains (with websites).
Gmail has an option that lets someone with custom domains send (and receive) email through gmail using the custom domain once Google confirms proper ownership of the domain (to prevent spammers and such).  Gmail has a setting for "send email as" which allows gmail to be sent using a custom domain as the sender.  I'm pretty sure Apple's old mobileme had this feature too, but I didn't use it.

  • Can't send email to my own domain

    The mail program on my iphone works fine, except for one thing - i can't send email to anyone using the domain name as me (our business has its own email domain).
    Since most of my emails are to other people inside our business, this is very frustrating).
    I am guessing I have done something silly in the set up, but am too much of a novice to figure it out.
    Any suggestions?

    Sorry - typo in the above question. Should read:
    "I can't send email to anyone using the SAME domain name as me"
    Tks.

  • How can I send email using two different email address that both link back to my one exchange account on my Ipad mini

    How can I send email using two different email address that both link back to my one exchange account on my Ipad mini? 
    On my PC I simply have a master return email address and use a POP for the secondary address.  Both are through the one exchange account without a problem.  I need to be able to do the same on my Ipad.

  • Can't send email using wifi. Spent 30 min troubleshooting with my email service provider who finally told me to contact Apple

    Can't send email using wifi. Spent 30 min troubleshooting with my email service provider who finally told me to contact Apple.
    It doesn't work when I can't get 3G, whether at home or overseas. Receives no problem, and 3G works fine when it's available.

    Maybe it is a 3GS. Anyway, I get the error that the network is not responding, and to check my settings. My ISP is Uniserve (Canada) but I am trying to use Telus (at home, where there is no 3G in my neighbourhood) or whatever is available as I travel eg. US or Europe for outgoing mail when 3G is not available. My husband has no problem with his iphone 4 when he sends email the same way usinf wifi.

  • Loaded Outlook mobile app and now I can't send emails through Mail ("Unable to verify account information" error message).  Can't use the Authenticator number, either.  Help!

    I installed the Outlook mobile app on my iPhone using my Hotmail email address and the authenticator code.  It works, but I can no longer send emails from Mail.  I have not forgotten the password, so I don't know why I am unable to send messages from my mail email account (linked to Hotmail) in Mail.  Should I delete the Outlook mobile app?  Please help!  Thanks.

  • Can I send email using Java from my localhost(Tomcat) with Internet connect

    Hi friends,
    Please tell me can I send email from my localhost (Tomcat) using Java when my computer is connected to Internet?
    I don't have any SMTP username or password or the like, as I found in some codes available in net.
    Please suggest and any simple code if possible.
    Please don't send me the link of JavaMail API to read.

    Thank you for the link. Though I have not tested the provided code, I will test it.

  • Can't send email using yahoo through apple devices, any ideas?

    I cannot send an email using yahoo through any of my Apple devices, although email sent get through. It states "connection to the outgoing server ' apple.smpt.mail.yahoo.com' failed.
    Does anyone know how to restore?

    I am sorry that I cannot help you but I am having a similar problem. I can rec/send email but my email is duplicated and a pop up says that my server is not responding. I have spent most of the afternoon trying to get it corrected. I finally decided to take it to my Apple store next week.
    Good luck to us!

  • Can not send email using 3G

    I cannot send email using 3G with the new ios5. I have iphone4s

    I use cox here in new orleans, and it works fine - I upgraded my 3GS last Monday, and have been using since then. I just tried to send an email to see if there was something going on with Cox, and I was able to send it.
    Do you want my settings? ( I do use pop.east.cox.net, so it could be something wrong with another server).

  • New MacBook- Can't send email. I've changed ports and still the same thing

    Hello. I just got my MacBook and I can receive email fine, but I can't send emails. I read the forums and was advised to change my port from 25 to 587 or 143. I'm not sure how someone determines what port I'm suppose to be using? The error I receive is that port 587 or 143 has timed out.
    Please help. Thank you.

    how are you connected to the internet? try going straight into your modem, could be a port issue on a router
    does your smtp server need authentication? does it use ssl?
    port 587 usually does work if 25 doesn't but those are the 2 main ports used, if neither works verify what port your ISP is using

  • I can't send emails from iPhone until I connect to my wifi! I am with bigpond and have a bigpond email address. Can anyone help me?

    I can't send emails from iPhone until I connect to my wifi at home. I am with bigpond and have a bigpond email address. Can anyone help me?

    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.

  • How can i send email from a custom domain connected to gmail on iphone?

    Hi there,
    I am trying to add a gmail account to my iphone 5S which i have added a custom godaddy email to through pop3 but when i add the gmail account i cant send from the custom domain email.
    lets say the account is [email protected] with a [email protected] email attached to it, is there a way of sending emails from my iphone from this address?
    I have tried to find other guides but cannot seem to.
    thanks in advance

    Look in the JavaMail forum on how to create Mime format emails. This allows you to use HTML instead of plain text.

  • Satellite P200-10O: Can't send emails using Vista Windows Mail

    Can any one help.
    I have a Satellite P200-10O, with Vista installed. In Win Mail i have set up my email accounts as normal.
    When i open Win Mail i can click send and receive and it searches for new messages, this can be repeated as often as you like. However when i create a new message and click send it stops working. The message goes into the outbox, if i open it in the outbox and click send, nothing happens, after a while of trying every thing freezes up. If i then close the program and re open it will send the message but then sometimes the send and receive doesn't work until you close and re open. Also the message counters do not up date.
    I have tried everything i can think of, Vista forum, ISP, Toshiba. So far no joy although i will be getting back in touch with Toshiba again. Message is set to send immediatley.
    No virus or firewall is being used.
    Cheers

    Hi buddy,
    why are you making yourself such problems?? Why dont you use Mozilla Thunderbird which is faster, reliable and has better functions then this Vista Mail thingy??
    I use Thunderbird now for some years and I love it. Its better than outlook and has so many functions which make the work a lot easier.
    If I were you I would check the following link a thinkabout:
