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

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.

  • 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.

    I have 4 email accounts in apple Mail.  My mail is sending from the wrong account.  even on "reply" it sends from a different account.  I have 3 gmail accounts and one exchange server account. I choose which account to send from and it still sends from the same gmail account.  Help.

    I HAD two accounts because of this problem.  I completely removed the problem account from the Apple Mail client.  Guess what is happening??  That's right - Mail is still sending from the other account that no longer exists on my computer, and I have absolutely no idea how this is happening.  This is incredibly frustrating.  When a recipient chooses to reply to my message, quite often I won't get it now because it is going to the other account that has now been deleted from my system.  COME ON APPLE!!! WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH THIS???

  • How can SAP be configured to prevent users from consuming locks?

    How can SAP be configured to prevent users from consuming locks?
    The issue is that we want to prevent users to use upto maximum locks and so that we will not get lock table overflow issue. I know that we can assign parameter "enque/table_size" a good amount of value. But it is not for any specific user.
    Also want to alert in CCMS if any user reaches to its maximum speficified limit of locks.
    Thanks
    Gopesh

    You cannot set a limit of locks per user. There are two ways to reduce/control the number of locks:
    - change fewer records within one transaction
    - cover more records with one lock using wildcards
    Basically it is an application / development issue.

  • Sending from a different email address

    I need to be able to send from a different email address (not @me.com) from icloud.com mail but it wont allow me.  I teach at a university and need to be able to email from my school address and using the old mobileme interface I was able to do this.  Now I cannot email out from my school email address through icloud. Is there a way around this?  The school only allows you to email your class mail list from you school email address and now I cannot email my class from icloud.   Please help.  Unforunately, I have to use PC's at school so I am only working from the icloud.com mail.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    There shouldn't be any reason you can't use additional email accounts alongside your iCloud account, I do.
    Do you still have your alternate account set up on the iPhone, settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Accounts.

    Yes, but your iTunes library won't automatically show up on a different computer; putting it there is a separate process.

  • How can I subscribe to a free podcast from a different country's i-store?

    How can I subscribe to a free podcast from a different country's i-store? I tried, but it says I can use only store in the country of residence. I just bought imac to be able to watch podcasts from my home country which is not country of residence... It is completely unreasonable!

    You cannot.
    As it has told you, you can use the itunes store of your country of residence and only while you are inside the borders of that country.
    Sorry.

  • Use Mail to send from a different account linked to Gmail

    I use Gmail as my main personal email account and usually use with Mail via POP.
    I also have Gmail set up to send from another account (my work address) which I can do by selecting a different "From".
    This second email address is actually a MS Exchange Server mailbox, and I think the Gmail is just sending 'on behalf of' and getting replies sent to that address.
    Is it possible to get the same results directly within Mail? (Not a huge problem if not, I can just log onto the Gmail website, but it would be nice to use Mail if possible).

    http://forums.macrumors.com/archive/index.php/t-573678.html
    I've had the same issue as you, and found this helpful.
    Basically go into the Mail preferences and under accounts add the accounts (which Gmail gathers) that you want to send from to the "Email Adress" bar using a comma. For example:
    Email Adress: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]
    Then a drop-down menu will appear when creating/responding to mail that allows you to select which account to send from.
    It can't seem to automatically respond to emails using the address it was sent to unfortunately, which Gmail cleverly does. But it's a step closer.
    Anyways, check out the link. It was helpful for me!

  • Mail Delivery Error only when sending from certain email accounts

    I posted in another thread regarding this however the problem has seemed to get more interesting.
    On a whim i decided to change which e-mail account I was sending from and re-sent the exact same PDF document from my MobileMe(instead of Gmail) and it worked perfectly!! got the e-print confirmation about it preparing for printing and then whalla the print! Went back to try gmail and got the Mailer Deamon error again: 
    Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently:
         [email protected]
    Technical details of permanent failure: 
    Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the recipient domain. We recommend contacting the other email provider for further information about the cause of this error. The error that the other server returned was: 550 550 5.7.1 Command rejected (state 18).
    could it be specifically related to Gmail or googles servers? Are there specific mail providers that work/don't work(for example MobileMe vs Gmail vs Yahoo, BlackBerry, etc...)
    Any help is greatly appreciated in advance.

    and while I had read that information and appreciate you re-providing that I'm still not sure exactly what that tells me. In both cases I was using Apple's Mail (once to send from a Gmail account which failed and once from MobileMe win succeeded) and then again from my BlackBerry handhelp(in which case neither account worked) 
    since both Apple Mail, Blackberry and also Gmail are "tested" I'm assuming you're pointing out the "testing does not guarentee full compatibility"  portion of this statement which to me is misleading. If I'm using only "tested" clients but having problems it feels slightly dishonest to be marketing this product as complete. While I am optimistic about the many possibilities offered by this printer I am disappointed at present by the limited and seemingly premature release of "e-print" as a whole. 
    Any other potential workarounds you can think of? 

  • Can not set up messages to send from Macbook Pro to Ipad

    Hello everyone,
    I am having trouble sending from MacBook pro Messages to Ipad. If I send a message from Ipad, it shows up in Macbook, however if I try to send from Macbook, it tells me "Your message could not be sent. Your message account is not signed in " SO I press sign in and a dialoque window pops up and I can see that I am actually signed in with my apple ID, and the acount is enabled. However it also shows that "Messages Inactive" and when I go to Messages menue, I can not even change my status.
    I have checked the firewall, its off.  Please enlighten me, I am starting to feel like I am loosing it with technology

    I am having the same problem. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I called apple restored my phone to its original and it did not work :-( Now it seems like it worked for a bit than stopped again. Now I have to contact Apple again to set up an appointment at an Apple store because it may be an issue with my phone. I have only had it for a week and half!

  • Can you send from a Hotmail alias?

    1) I have aliases set up in Hotmail. <br />
    2) I set up related Identities in Thunderbird (using IMAP). <br />
    3) I select an alias above in Thunderbird as the "From" when sending mail. <br />
    4) Mail is sent from the wrong alias! (recipient sees the wrong "From" address) <br /><br />
    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?<br /><br />
    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.

  • 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 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.

  • Can the central system and the sender system at different time zone?

    We have a control(i.e. central) system which is 6 hours ahead of the sender system.
    When processing step "analyse tables in sender system", we get short dumps immediately at  control , sender and receiver.
    On the sender, the short dump reads:
    Runtime Errors         CALL_FUNCTION_SEND_ERROR                       
    Date and Time          01/15/2011 16:09:05

    The current ABAP program "SAPLCNVTDMS_BW_FUNCTIONS_REM" had to be terminated  .
    We never get this error before on this step.  The only thing I can think of is that the sender and the central system
    are at different time zone.
    Please share your experience.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    By looking at the runtime error , the reason of the dump should not be the timestamp diff .
    You can create an OSS ticket with SAP for further analysis.
    Also, there can be data consistency issues due to time diff .
    Cheers
