Changing reply to address in .mac account on Mail

I use Mail with .mac for email. However, for work I have a company domain name/email address which is forwarded automatically to my .mac address/account. I want to be able to send messages where the "from" and "reply to" addresses are [email protected], not [email protected] Can anyone help me set this up please?
Hope I've expressed the problem clearly, with many thanks

I have a similar problem.
I purchased a domain name (we shall call it mycompany.com) and the service includes e-mail forwarding. So, anything sent to [email protected], will in fact fo to [email protected]
What I would like to do is to reply and for the reciever to actually see [email protected], instead of [email protected]
To me, the solution was very simple as to go to account information in Mail and change the e-mail address to [email protected] As it turns out, it is not as simple as I thought. Everytime I try to reply to a message with this settings, I get an error message asking me to choose an SMTP server from the list, and even after choosing the right one, the mail wont be sent.
Now, the weirdest part of all this is that with my previous ISP I used to be able to send e-mails with [email protected] with no problems at all! It worked like a charm and never had the SMTP issue.
I changed ISPs because the Cable service was getting too expensive and the tech support is horrible. Now I use DSL and everything seems to work nice, except for this little bump.
So, do you think this had something to do with Mail or is my new ISP's deal?
Thanks for your time guys!

Can i change my email address on icloud account on phone? to email i used on new mac ?? do they need to be the same for optimal use?

Yes the Apple ID is the thing that ties your devices to you and shares your information and content between them.
If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

Changing from ".Mac" account in Mail to "IMAP"

When I orginally set up my primary Mail account on my laptop it was ".Mac", rather than IMAP or POP. I'm finding I can't fully take advantage of the Alias features. Another posting here explains that if I delete the existing ".Mac" account and build a new one as IMAP, I'd then be able to create alias email addresses. In the present configuration I can "create them", but they don't appear as available in the pull down menu when I send mail. I'm a bit reluctant to delete my present .Mac account in Mail because I get a warning that all my mail will go away if I delete that account. To complicate matters, I sometimes work on my iMac at home, and that one's set up just the same as a ".Mac" account. Presumably I'd have to change that one too? Or is there some way I can make setting up the alias addresses work while keeping my primary account as a .Mac account? Obviously I'm not relating conceptually to what's going on here!

I access my .Mac account as a .Mac type account with Tiger Mail and I use/access a single .Mac alias address at a time. I have no problems with the alias address being available as an address to choose from via the Accounts selection when composing a message.
Do you access more than one alias address at a time?
Does it make any difference when selecting Edit Email Aliases under the Email Address field available under the Account Information tab for the account preferences?
Since a .Mac account is really an IMAP type account and behaves in the same way, when deleting the account in Mail, no messages available at the server in the account's Inbox or any other server stored messages will be affected when deleting the account and re-creating it as an IMAP type account.
What you do lose when deleting an account in Mail are any locally stored mailboxes/messages for the account such as Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk if these messages are not stored on the server.
If you don't store Sent messages on the server, before deleting the account you need to do the following:
Create/utilize an "On My Mac" location mailbox which is stored on the hard drive and not associated with any account. Transfer the account's Sent messages from the locally stored Sent mailbox for the account to the user created "On My Mac" location mailbox.
Delete and re-create the account in Mail as an IMAP type account. All server stored messages in the account's Inbox mailbox will be available again in the account's Inbox mailbox and after sending a message with the newly created IMAP account which will create a new Sent mailbox for the account, you can transfer the old sent messages from the "On My Mac" location mailbox to the new Sent mailbox for the account so no messages will be lost.

I just got a new iPod nano, and I'm really excited about it, but I have a problem. A long time ago, I changed the email address on my account, and now all the songs from that account are gone. I don't know how to get them back. Can someone please help me?

This is really frustrating, I've been trying to get my songs back for hours

When you say "account," do you mean your iTunes library, because your iTunes library is what is on your computer? Your iTunes library does not have an email address. An account that is related to iTunes is your Apple ID (which is an email address) and you use it as your user name to sign in to the iTunes Store, to make purchases. Changing your Apple ID will not make songs disappear from your computer's iTunes library.
If you had an Apple ID and used it to make song purchases from the iTunes Store, and then started using a different Apple ID, you should be able to re-download the songs purchased with the old Apple ID. In iTunes, sign in to the iTunes Store using your OLD Apple ID (and password). That may not be your current email address, but Apple uses it as your user name, so it does not matter.
On the iTunes Store Home screen, click on Purchased under QUICK LINKS. This takes you do the Purchased screen, where you can re-download previous song purchases (for that Apple ID) at no cost.
NOTE: If those song purchases are from more than a few years ago, you may also need to authorize your computer to play (and sync) songs for your old Apple ID.
For songs that were not purchased from the iTunes Store, if they are also gone, you cannot get them back unless you have a backup (or they are still loaded on your old iPod).
If that's not what you mean by "changed the email address on my account," please post back with more details.

I need to change the email address in my account

I can't see where to change the email address in my account. The address listed is one that I no longer have access to and every time I try to change it, it tells me that the address I change it to is not available.
Where can I change the email address?

You should be able to change it at https://www.adobe.com/account/account-information.html

Problem with .mac account and mail 2.05 (os x 10.4.4)

hi!
i am not able to add a .mac account in mail 2.05. system is os x 10.4.4.
.mac settings in system preference work fine, on my cube with os 10.3.9 i can add the .mac account without problems.
in mail under 10.4.4 i can´t even select accounts besides IMAP, POP and EXCHANGE. if i delete mails plist and even the mail file and achieving a "virginal mail" i just can select these 3 accounts (POP,IMAP,EXCHANGE). strange because if i setup .mac settings in system preferences before setting up a POP mail account (i have 3 POP accounts besides .mac), the .mac account is automatically set up in mail. but even than i can´t set up manually (another) .mac account (can´t be selected in account pulldown menue) as well as soon as i delete it it can´t be resetup.
no way with new user, same procedure. i reinstalled mail from tiger-dvd as well as reinstalling 10.4.4 combo update and repair disc permissions. no way to get .mac to work the normal way.
has anyone any idea?
thanks so long,
peter

the empty folder ~/Library/Mail/ at root level seemed to be the problem of not being able to activating the .Mac account in mail. after copying this folder onto harddisk again (i have a new "20 iMac at work with 10.4.4) the problem was solved. no idea how to get this folder again besides installing a blank 10.4.x install onto external firewire hdd or having a second system...
thanks so long.
i guess i made a mistake when migrating my old mail prefs from 10.3.x to 10.4.x blank install when moving the folders to 10.4.x maybe i have first choosen the ~/Library/Mail/ folder at root level and when recognizing that mail is not working with new user, i´m sure i might have deleted the whole mail prefs and mail folder on root level and copied the whole stuff again into USER/Library/Mail/. Therefore the folder ~/Library/Mail/ at root level became empty. i purchased .Mac just a few days ago so i recognized this failure just now...

How do I change the "reply to" address for an account?

When I try to change my reply to address it shows "recipients will reply to this other address" and I can't change it. I get this even when I try to add a new identity. Thanks.

''re: When I try to change my reply to address it shows "recipients will reply to this other address" and I can't change it.''
So the 'Reply-to Address' is empty. What do you mean by 'I can't change it' ?
You do not say what you did.
Tools > Account Settings for the mail account
or
right click on mail account name in Folder Pane and select 'Settings'
Reply-to-Address: 'recipients will reply to this other address' will be in a greyed font.
You put the mouse cursor in this text box and over write with the email address you want to use.
click on 'OK' to save changes.
You can also get access to the various options and text boxes by using the 'Tab' key on your keyboard.
Right click on mail account name in Folder Pane and select 'Settings'
Then press the 'Tab' key to move the focus to different sections, it should start with the focus on the mail account name and after pressing 'Tab' it will move to 'account actions', press again to move to 'Account Name', then 'Your Name:' then 'Email Address' then 'Reply-to-Address' so that you can type the email address.

Change Reply-To Address

I am trying to have my .mac account always send the "from" address to another email address other than my .mac account. This email address is [email protected] and is a forwarding service. Since I move so much, I want all my email to be sent to my pobox.com address so that I don't have to worry about changing my email address wrt to the ISP I am using. I realize that I can do this through my .mac account but since I have so many people already emailing to my pobox.com account that I would like my MacMail account to show that as the "reply-to" address. I have the "reply-to" window called up and when I enter the desired "reply-to" address it still ends up at the destination as [email protected] no matter what I enter into the "reply-to" window. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for any assistance.

You did what?
bbop, your .Mac account is your .Mac account and it must have the e-mail address associated with that account. You cannot arbitrarily create a mail account and put whatever you want in the address field. It may work with some ISPs and for some particular addresses, but you shouldn't do that.
Now, the real problem is that, if I've understood correctly what you've done, you have set up your .Mac account twice, right? Do not delete any of them until you've answered the following question: Have you set them both up using the same account type (POP, IMAP, .Mac)?
So if I understand you correctly, the from address
will always show the @mac.com address but when you
enter a different address in the reply-to window the
recipient will reply to that address. Correct?
Yes, that's correct. I've been telling you this since the very beginning. The From field will always show the address of whatever account you choose to send your mail from. You can't/shouldn't put the address of an account that doesn't exist there. But that shouldn't be a problem because, if you use a Reply-To header, what really matters when the recipient replies is the address that appears in the Reply-To header.
I still don't understand your obsession with setting the From field to an address which you cannot send mail from. What exactly are you trying to accomplish by doing that?

How can I change the email address on my account?

My account is tied to an old email address which hasn't existed for about a decade, how do I change this?

Hello Chris,
This can be done through our Apple ID site.
Apple ID: Changing the email address you use for your Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621
If your primary email address for your Apple ID does not end in @icloud.com, @me.com, or @mac.com
Note: If your Apple ID and your primary email address are currently the same, changing the primary email address will also change your Apple ID. If your Apple ID and your primary email address are different, changing your primary email address will not change your Apple ID.
Follow these steps to change the primary email address for your Apple ID:
Go to My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com), click "Manage your Apple ID," and sign in.
With the Name, ID, and Email Address drawer selected, click Edit next to Apple ID and Primary Email Address.
Enter your new email address.
Ensure that the email address you enter:
Is one that you regularly use since this will be the primary email for your account
Is a valid email address
Is not already associated with another Apple ID you have
Is not an address that ends in @mac.com. @me.com, or @icloud.com
You will be asked to verify the email address to confirm that you can access it and that it belongs to you. When you receive the verification email, click the Verify Now link and sign in using your Apple ID and password to complete the confirmation.

I want to change iTunes ID and keeping .mac account.

I share my iTunes account with my son. We want to have separate accounts. I want to keep the iTunes ID associated with my .mac account for my use. My son wants to use a gmail account for the itunes and all the music he has acquired through the current account.
Will this work?
TIA
YM

This doesn't work as I expected. You can't change the primary Mac ID used for anything Apple. My .mac.com address is the ID. So if my son changes to his e-mail address on iTunes on his Mac, he changes the way I access anything .mac from my Mac.
In effect, this is as it would be for any kink of web base account where a user name and password is used. You cannot change the user name. You can only start from scratch with a new account which can't see the content owned by the first account.
So we'll continue to share this iTunes account until I die I guess.
Oh well.

How to change "reply to" address?

I have a domain host, which forwards me email via that domain (e.g: [email protected]) in to my Comcast email (e.g: [email protected]).
I used to use MS Entourage which allowed me to send email from the comcast account, but with a "Reply to" the [email protected] email, so people emailing with me would be unaware of the Comcast account.
It does not seem obvious how to do this with Apple Mail, and I can't find it in any help or discussion forums? I tried changing the email address in Mail Preferences Account Information, but the outbound email still arrives with "Comcast" in the from address...
How can I change mail to send email with my domain "[email protected]" in the Reply To, even though I'm sending via Comcast's smtp...
Thanks!
Mark

In the email compose window, look for the small rectangle with three lines and a triangle, next to the word Account. Click there and select Reply-To Address Field. The Reply To field will appear.

Changing "reply to" address

Hi There,
I just got the new BlackBerry Z30 and I love it.. The only thing though is that I need to change the "reply to" address for my email address, as it is different from the email account that was assigned.
There was an option on my 9810 that was running OS 7.1, under the advanced features. But I don't see this option on the Z30 running OS 10. Is this an option?
Thanks!

That option is no longer available on the BB10 devices. You'd have to set that up on the email account itself if the account offers that option.

What password are you talking about? Do you mean your user account on your Mac?

Change name associated with my mac account

The name associated with my mac account is presently showing as "First Last" when the main account is used for e-mail. I would like to change it to "The Last Names" to connote that this address goes to the family in general. Is there any way to change the display name? I have tried in iCloud browser mail preferences, user accounts system preferences, and have no luck.

If you use an email client which one?

HT201342 how can i change my email address on icloud account, it is already changed on my apple id

How can I change my email address on icloud, I have already changed it on my apple id, but it still is asking for lmy old email and password and I can not back up or anything?

Hello RousePryor
If the iCloud account ends with an @icloud.com, then that is something that you cannot change it. If that is not the case, then you will need to sign out and may need to change it back to the old Apple ID to do so.
