Can I set up a Non .mac Email Pop mail client Alias for sending SMTP mail?

I have a yahoo.com POP mail account - [email protected] When I'm lgged into Yahoo mail, this account can receive and send mail from serveral aliases - [email protected], [email protected], etc.
Using Tiger's mail.app, I can log into the Yahoo smtp server and get all my mail, including mail to the alias names.
I would like to be able to reply from my Mac's mail.app account, using one of the aliases, instead of my POP account name. In other words, I'd like the From field be listed as "[email protected]" and not "[email protected]"
In mail.app (v2.1) is there any way to do this?
Alan Sampson' suggestion doesn't work - when I set the From field to the alias name, it looks like mail tries to login to the yahoo SMTP server under the alias, and it gets rejected.
( - see http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2603372&#2603372 )
Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Account Information tab for the primary email account preferences, enter all alias email addresses in the Email Address field for the account separate by a comma.
[email protected], [email protected], [email protected]

If Yahoo allows this, it should work. Open Mail Help, type alias in the search box, and read the article titled Adding multiple email alias addresses to an account. Could it be that you're trying to put the aliases in the wrong field (i.e. User Name rather than Email Address)? Or maybe it's Yahoo's SMTP server that doesn't allow you to do this?

  • Non mac email on i cloud

    how do i get non mac email on my cloud account?

    iCloud handles only its own email. On a Mac, or a PC, or an iOS device you can add other email accounts to the email application - this is quite independent of iCloud.
    On the iCloud website you cannot access other email accounts. However, you can usually set up forwarding from other accounts to the iCloud address, which would enable you to read the messages on the iCloud website (there's no point at all in doing this from the point of view of a Mac etc.)mbut you can't send using iCloud's outgoing server using the other account's email address as the 'From' address - only the iCloud address can be used - which severely limits the e=method's usefulness.

  • HT5225 use a imac  os x 10.4.11.  I can't access my mail as of late yesterday.  Is there a system problem or can I now longer use my .mac email address.  I do not have any other device including a phone.  thanks

    I reset the password. As you instructed, but that was not enough to solve the problem.
    To solve the problem I also did the following:
    For my user name I included @me.com., but I'm not sure that made any difference.
    I think the key to solving this was that I pushed past the error I got on the Outgoing Mail Server window. I wasn't sure I should do that but I was desperate:
    Next I got this window and checked SSL.
    That was it!
    Finally I went into account preferences and checked the outgoing mail server settings to be sure the server port was correct. It was.
    Thank you for your help.

    I believe they discontinued all mobile.me accounts yesterday.  It's been in the planning for a long time with lots of notification.  I believe you can still get access to the e-mail from Tiger but you'd need to browse past discussions on this forum for details on how.

  • Can I set gmail as my default email client?

    I am having trouble with Apple Mail and would prefer to use gmail as my default email client. Is there any way to do that in aperture?

    Gmail is not a Mail Client. It's a mail service that needs a client to access it. That client can be a Web Browser, or an app like Mail, Entourage, Thunderbird etc. So, no you cannot set Gmail as the default email client. It's a bit like saying can I make HBO my Television Set.
    If you want to use an app as default mail client in Aperture then the chosen app has to be scriptable, and that limits your options. There are only four supported: Mail, Entourage, AOL and Eudora.
    Alternatively, you can access the Library from any Mail client or service via their Attach options:
    In any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.

  • How can I send email from my yahoo alias account in iPhone5 mail?

    How can I send email from my yahoo alias account in iPhone5 mail?
    I have 2 email accounts: [email protected] is an alias of [email protected]
    In my old iPhone3 I had these accounts set up so that I could send and receive email from both accounts. I did this using the following settings:
    ‘Other’ POP account info:
    Name: xyz
    Address: [email protected]
    Description: alias
    Incoming mail server:
    Host name: pop.mail.yahoo.com
    User name: [email protected]
    Password: password for yahoo account
    Server port: 995
    Outgoing mail server:
    SMTP: smtp.o2.co.uk (o2 is the name of my phone network)
    Server port: 25
    ‘Yahoo!’ account info:
    Name: xyz
    Address: [email protected]
    Password: password for yahoo account
    Description: Yahoo!
    Outgoing mail server:
    Primary server: Yahoo! SMTP server
    Server port: 465
    I’ve tried using the same settings in my new iPhone5, but it doesn’t work. I can receive mail to both accounts, and can send from the Yahoo account, but I cannot send mail from the alias account. When I try, it displays the message: “Cannot send mail. A copy has been placed in your Outbox. The recipient ‘[email protected]’ was rejected by the server”.
    I’ve tried to configure the POP alias account using combinations of ‘pop.mail.yahoo.com’, ‘pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk’, ‘apple.pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk’ and ‘apple.pop.mail.yahoo.com’, for the incoming host, and ‘smtp.o2.co.uk’, ‘smtp.mail.yahoo.com’, ‘smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk’, ‘apple.smtp.mail.yahoo.com’ and ‘apple.smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk’ for the outgoing mail server. None of these have worked.
    I’ve also tried setting it up using IMAP instead of POP without success. I tried configuring it using combinations of ‘imap.mail.yahoo.com’, ‘apple.imap.mail.yahoo.com’, ‘imap.mail.yahoo.co.uk’ and ‘apple.imap.mail.yahoo.co.uk’ for the incoming mail server and ‘smtp.o2.co.uk’, ‘smtp.mail.yahoo.com’, ‘smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk’, ‘apple.smtp.mail.yahoo.com’ and ‘apple.smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk’ for the outgoing mail server.
    Yahoo say that if I can't send Yahoo! Mail from my mail program, I may be accessing the Internet through an ISP that is blocking the SMTP port, and that if this is the case, I should try setting the SMTP port number to 587 when sending email via Yahoo!'s SMTP server. I don't think that this is the problem, but I tried it just to make sure - without success.
    I’ve also heard that the problem might have something to do with the SPF settings of my alias domain provider. I’m not too sure exactly what SPF settings are, or how to change them, but from what I can gather it seems unlikely that this is the problem given that I was able to send mail from my alias account on my old iPhone3.
    Any help much appreciated: how can I get my alias account to send emails in iPhone5 mail?
    Many thanks,
    Patrick

    A new development: I've tried sending emails from the alias several times over the past 24 hours, but in general I've deleted them if they haven't sent within about half an hour.
    However, one of the messages I left sitting in the outbox did send successfully in the end, but this took about an hour.
    So: perhaps my problem is not in fact that I am completely unable to send mail from my alias, but that I can only do so intermittently and extremely slowly, and by ignoring the "cannot send" message.
    Any help appreciated.

  • How can I stop the number of unread emails showing on the icon for my main account including the number of emails in my gmail account as well?

    How can I stop the number of unread emails, displayed on the icon for my main account, including the number of unread emails in my gmail account as well? The number is accurate (unlike the many users who seem to have phantom unread emails) it's just that I want each acc to show its own total, as it did before.  I suspect I fiddled with some setting unwittingly.  It seems to do it first thing each morning, particularly.  Many thanks

    If you go to Settings>Notification Centre>Mail each of your email accounts will appear here separately. You can then change if Badges are displaye on the Mail App - which will show you the number of emails - or not.

  • HT3529 can you set up and save groups of more than 10 contacts for imessages for future use?

    can you set up and save groups of more than 10 contacts for imessages for future use?

    It can be done by creating a contact for that group which includes all their email addresses all separated by a comma or semicolon. You may have to format it just right depending on the email service you're using. Also, you will have to type this out in Notes first in order to be able to get the punctuation in there, then copy & paste the entire list into the email field of the new contact.

    Just trying out my new mac but email won't load, error says "The mail server denied access to the account because an administrator or other mail client was using it when Mail tried to log in. Try again later." A little lock is beside the email inbox account, no password prompted and account is online and enabled... Thoughts?

    Have you tried clicking on the lock to see it it will then ask for a passwored.  Otherwise, try reblooting.

  • TS4208 Apple Mail client no longer marks my mail as read on all my iOS devices. If I read a email on my iPhone and later open Mail on my iPad, the iPad still shows the email as unread.This changed recently, perhaps after iOS7 upgrade. Did I miss a setting

    Apple Mail client no longer marks my mail as read on all my iOS devices. If I read a email on my iPhone and later open Mail on my iPad, the iPad still shows the email as unread.This changed recently, perhaps after iOS7 upgrade. Did I miss a setting? All mail account are IMA. iCloud is set to push, business mail is set to fetch every 15 minutes.

    Read thier own support document on the subject then
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1795
    This document was written as an answer to all those who complained about it as paying MobileMe users
    They ignored us then and when MobileMe became iCloud they ignored us again, and just carried on with a system that will not update the e-mail read status across all devices
    That's how it works,   and like you 1000's of loyal Apple users cant believe it either but there you go
