Can I use an alternate outgoing server in mail on ipad2?

I would like to use the gmail server gmail as my primary outgoing server rather than my me.com account. I can't seem to turn off the primary server it only allows me to add an additional sever as a secondary or back up. Thoughts?
Basically I want my reply emails to show as from my gmail account.

yes you certainly can. and by searching those keywords on google you'll find very detailed step by step setup guides.
but i recommend you using a third party app instead of the apple Mail for one big reason:
if you use Mail to send messages, your sent mail will not be stored under your gmail server, meaning, as you go on to the actual Gmail webpage, you wont be able to find the messages you sent from apple's Mail app.. if you have been using Gmail as your primary email database, i highly recommend you not to use the default Mail app.. I only use apple Mail to download attachments to iphone/ipad and open/save them with different apps (such as Phone Drive, Downloads..etc) which have the ability to open different file formats and have a file manager system.

Can javamail use windows default outgoing smtp mail server and port?

how can i use windows default outgoing smtp service and port from javamail? is it possible to retrieve this info or just instruct javamail to use default?
thanks

Windows doesn't have a default SMTP server. However if you have something like Outlook or Outlook Express or Eudora or Netscape Mail or whatever set up on your Windows box, you will have already told it what SMTP server it should connect to.
That information would be in the Windows registry, or in the config file of whatever e-mail client you already have set up. However it's probably easier to just have your application ask for the SMTP server's name again rather than trying to find where some other application stashed it.

Using .mac as outgoing server

I would like to use the .mac as an outgoing server for times when I can't use my comcast server (like when I am on the road). This is for an email address that is NOT a .mac address. I do have a .mac account.
I could have sworn that I had this working at some point in the past, but now it always rejects the outgoing message with the alert:
The SMTP server "smtp.mac.com" rejected the password for the user...
Can someone tell me if it is possible to configure this way? If so, what settings do I use exactly?
Does .mac offer any telephone support? It is very frustrating trying to find out this information.
Peter

Hello Peter.
I don't believe you had this working in the past since Apple has always prevented using the .Mac SMTP server for a non-.Mac email account.
I don't believe .Mac provides telephone support.
You can't use Comcast's SMTP server for this email account? Comcast has telephone support but being able to use either Comcast's SMTP server with your Comcast account or the .Mac SMTP server with a .Mac account depends on the ISP used for connecting to the internet when on the road.
If doing so at a hotel, you need to check with the hotel or hotel's ISP for the required SMTP server settings to send mail from an email account outside of the ISP's network.

iCloud does not provide general file storage and sharing. You will need to find a third-party alternative - this page examines some options:

Nope! If it is absolutely essential that you have different editable bits of the web app, then you might want to consider splitting your web app into different apps and linking them together with data source.

Invalid Certificate Microsoft Outlook cannot sign or encrypt this message because you have no certificates which can be used to send from your e-mail address.

Hi,
I have a problem when trying to sign emails with an X.509 certificate in Outlook 2010. I constantly get the error message. The certificate is Verified for the email address I'm sending from.
"Invalid Certificate
Microsoft Outlook cannot sign or encrypt this message because you have no certificates which can be
used to send from your e-mail address."I have no problem with signing documents in Word 2010 with the same certificate, only when trying to send email.Every check I can perform confirms that there's nothing wrong with the certificate. Yet, Outlook still says it is invalid.I have even tried installing a second X.509 for the same email address just to check. Outlook doesn't seem to like either certificate.I know this has been posted before, but I'm completely stuck here.Thanks,~Dan

Hi,
You may have checked the option "Encrypt contents and attachments for outgoing messages" in Outlook, please uncheck this to test if the problem persists.
File -> Options -> Trust Center -> Trust Center Settings -> E-mail Security -> Clear the checkbox "Encrypt contents and attachments for outgoing messages" -> OK.

Can I use FileMaker as a source for mail merge in Pages

Can I use FileMaker as a source for mail merge in Pages

Sorry I posted this and then started reading some of the replies. I did see them as I am newbie here.
Looks like the only solution at this time is to export the data to a csv file, open it in numbers and use the numbers file as the source for the mail merge.
Would it be possible to have FileMaker then run an applescript ? or automator script to automatically convert the CSV file to numbers and then rename that Numbers file so that it is consistent and can be reused by the Pages "template" for subsequent documents to be used based on this template?

Got message... you can't use this version of the application mail with this version of Max OS X, after i upgraded operating system to MAC OSA X Snow leopard. How do I get my Mail?

Hi ...just upgraded my Macbook pro to Mac OSX snow leopard and when I tried to look at my mail, I got this message "You can't use this version of the application mail with this version of MAC OS X". What do I do now to look at my mail and receive new mail?

After updating make sure you repair permissions and restart your computer.

You can't use this version of the application Mail with this version of Mac

I just installed 10.6 and all seemed well until I tried to load Mail. I got this response
"You can't use this version of the application Mail with this version of Mac You have Mail 3.5".
I successfully reinstalled 10.6 and I also reloaded the apps that were contained in another folder on the CD. I get the same message every time I try to load the Mail program. I deleted the "mail plist" file and that did not work. So I recovered my old one from Time Machine. Still dead!
My poor wife is so frustrated that she is now using my machine!!! HELP PLEASE!

I successfully reinstalled 10.6 and I also reloaded the apps that were contained in another folder on the CD.
Why would you "reload" any apps? They should have been installed when you installed 10.6. Where exactly did you reload them from?
So I recovered my old one from Time Machine.
...which undoubtedly still contained the old copy of Mail from your last Leopard backup, and not the current version of Mail that should have been installed with 10.6.
What you need to do is reinstall the appropriate version of Mail from your Snow Leopard install disk. You can install one specific program from the install disk using [Pacifist|http://www.charlessoft.com> - though, check carefully to make sure it's been cleared for use with the Snow Leopard install disk!
Whether that will fix your problem or not, I don't know, as I don't know what exactly you've done. It sounds like you've done a lot of things you should not have done, mixing components of your older system into your newer system. It is entirely possible you will need to reinstall the entire system.

I forgot my Apple ID password, as well as the security questions answers. Also, I currently can't use any of the rescue e-mails. Is there any other way I can reset my security answers or maybe reset the rescue e-mail? I called the Apple customer service and it was helpful, except I recieved an e-mail that expired 3 hours later, I can't call them again because I am overseas and it's really expensive to keep on calling international numbers! . Can anyone PLEASE help me?
I can't use any of my apple products properly such as my iphones because of iCloud and I can't purchase items on Apple TV!

HT4864 can I use the icloud smtp server as the outgoing server for all my other imap accounts?

I have several imap accounts. I want to send all my messages using the icloud server. I put the icloud server as the smtp server for each account but mail is not able to send the messages. The configuration is correct for the smtp iclous server, I checked.
Is there anything I'm missing?
Fausto

The only thing you're missing is that you can't do that. You have to use the correct smtp server for the mail accounts. Email providers generally don't like sending some other company's mail. If you want to send from the icloud servers, use your icloud account when composing.

Alternate outgoing server

When the primary outgoing server is not available, can Mail be set up to automatically send using an alternate server? In the general settings dialog box, the only choices when outgoing server is unavailable is "show a list of alternate servers" or "automatically try sending later." I have only two outgoing servers on my account, and if the primary is not available, I'd like Mail to automatically use the other one.

no, you can't automate this. an alternate smtp server always has to be chosen by hand.
