Choosing Alias for email send from iPhone

Hi,
how can I choose an Alias for emails send from the iPhone, like I do in Mail on my Mac?

If you are using MobileMe the iPhone does not support sending emails from alias's.

Choosing alias which email comes from.

I just purchased an imac and was happy to see that in Mail you can choose the .mac alias you wish your email to come from. On my powerbook g4 tiger 10.4.6 I do not have the ability to choose. Email can only be sent from my main .mac account. Is there a way to make an adjustment to give me the ability to choose amongst my alias'?

Select the square button below and left of the Subject field with a new message open.
And select Customize.
Select the box next to Account.
When finished, select OK at the far right.
This will provide an account drop-down selection below the Subject field when composing a new message.

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 I change the location for the backup from iphone to itunes?

How can I change the location for the backup from iphone to itunes? I want to backup to my external harddisk and not the computer itself. How do I do it?

Moving the iOS device backup location
Open a command prompt by hitting the start button and typing CMD<Enter> in the search box that opens up, or with Start > Run on older Windows.
To move the current backup folder from C: to D: (for example) type in this command and press <Enter>
Move "C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" "D:\Backup"
Where <User> is your Windows user name.
To make iTunes look for the data in the new location type in this command and press <Enter>
MkLink /J "C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" "D:\Backup"
If your preferred drive has a different letter or you already have a folder called "Backup" then edit "D:\Backup" accordingly in both commands.
If you have Windows XP then you'll need a third-party tool such as Junction to link the two locations together instead of the MkLink command. The source folder is C:\Documents and Settings\<User>\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup

Emailed photos from iPhone using ios7 being formatted to bmp. How can I change to jpg?

Emailed photos from iPhone using ios7 being formatted to bmp. How can I change to jpg?

I just solved this issue! Here's the solution in case anyone else is experiencing the same problem: I had him link his phone number to his Apple ID by adding his his phone number to his contact in his Contacts List. After that, messages sent to his phone number are blue.
I'm guessing his phone number was disconnected from his Apple ID when he somehow toggled off iMessage.

Email not sending from iPhone 4S anymore

I have set up my hotmail in my Mail app on my iPhone 4S. I used to be able to send emails from my phone however now when I try and send a box pops up and says this:
Cannot Get Mail. The mail server "pop3.live.com" is not responding. Verify that you have entered the correct account info in Mail settings.
Though I could still receive my emails.
Also a more recent problem is my emails are just not downloading at all anymore...
Any ideas why this is happenning?

Same here. The emails do arrive if you send them from the iCloud website, but not from the Mac or the iPhone.
I just confirmed that's what's happening with mine as well. I sent some from iCloud.com and it worked fine but not from iPhone or Mac.
I've been hearing that Siri and iMessage have also been having issues (nothing official - just word of mouth and similar discussions like this.) I wouldn't be surprised, though, as I imagine all these new services are putting quite the strain on the Apple servers.
I have also been having issues over the last couple of days which I assume are related. When using Mail on Mac or iPhone I intermittently receive errors that my password is incorrect.

Changing outgoing email address from iphone

I currently have my MobileMe account set up on my iphone, and it is using my MobileMe ID as my email address <Edited by Host>. However I would like to set it up with my alias<Edited by Host>. Is there a way to change this setting on the phone? I know I can change the outgoing email address from mail on my computer, but I don't see that function on my iphone.
Thanks

You can set up MobileMe to use any email address as a 'push' email on the iPhone. The first thing you need to do is set your non-MobileMe (.Mac) email address for auto-forward to your MobileMe (.Mac) account.
When you create the email account, make sure you set it up as Other (not as a .Mac or MobileMe account.) Then select IMAP as the type of account. Enter the name and auto-forwarded email address. (This is the email address that will show as the "From" email, even though you're using your MobileMe account.)
For your mail server settings, use your MobileMe settings:
* Incoming settings:
o Host Name: mail.mac.com
o User Name: MobileMe user name
o Password: MobileMe password
* Outgoing Settings:
o Host Name: smtp.mac.com
o User Name: MobileMe user name
o Password: MobileMe password
* Advanced:
o Use SSL - On
o Authentication - Password
o Server Port - 587
Now you're able to receive 'push' email from your non-MobileMe account, and reply without using the @me.com address. (You can use those same settings in the Mail App as well.)

Best practices for Email on the iPhone

As a new iPhone user, before I do something disastrous (I once wiped out an email account completely when trying to use IMAP after delete stuff in one place and having the effect synched everywhere), I am wonder how best to use email on my iPhone.
I use Mail.app on my Mac. If I want to check for new email, and possibly respond, but not affect my usual Mac email downloads later on, is there a best way to set things up so I retrieve my email but leave it on the server for later download when I'm at my Mac? I am hesitant about switching everything to IMAP.
Or... is there a better way? How do most people set it up?
Thank,
doug

Thanks for your response Allan.
One followup point regarding this. I didn't set up my Gmail account via the iPhones Mail client. It was set up automatically for me when I did my first synch and I said it was ok to synch email accounts.
However, my Gmail account on my Mac inside Mail.app is NOT set for IMAP - it is POP3.
So it appears that the iPhone not only sets your Gmail account as IMAP when setting up in the client by choosing the Gmail option, but that it also OVERRIDES the settings when synching the account information from your Mac, turning a POP3 account into an IMAP account.
I guess the only way of turning it back to POP3 would be to delete that account on the iPhone and create another one via the "Other" account setting.
But it seems to be working well as is.
I think it is safer to have one "master" account (like on my main computer) that is POP3 and doesn't synch with all the other accounts. I had a disastrous experience once with IMAP and lost all of an account's email because of the synching. Since then I prefer to use POP3 on my main account and keep all my email offline - and also constantly backed up with Time Machine.
I also have my main mail set to "archive when downloaded" from Gmail, so there is yet another backup that way.
Thanks,
doug

Reply-to function in Gmail does not work when sending from iPhone

I'm using Gmail for my iPhone and have the "reply-to" function set up so that recipient's of emails will reply to my business email address and not reply back to my gmail address. It works fine when sending emails directly from Gmail on the web interface. However, when I use the iPhone to send an email, the recipient gets my gmail address when replying to me. They do not the get "reply-to" email address. This seems to be an iPhone issue. I noticed another post about this issue involving Yahoo reply-to acting the same way with the iPhone and replied to that regarding my gmail experience. Are any other gmail users experiencing the same thing with the reply-to function? Any suggestions on how to fix?
Thanks

Setting the reply-to on the web interface does not change the reply-to on the iPhone. In order for you to specify a different reply-to on the iPhone, you need to configure your GMail account using the "Other" shortcut, not the GMail shortcut. The Other shortcut allows you to specify your work ID as the address, and your GMail ID as your login for incoming and outgoing servers.

Help - every email SENT from iPhone is marked as "Definitely Spam"

Hello
First time poster, would really appreciate some help.
I've got an iPhone 3GS running on Vodaphone in the UK.
I've sent up my mail (using my own Pop account through a .tv website) and all is great to receive, however every message I send from the phone itself seems to tag with "Definitely Spam" in the header, which is a real pain.
Does anyone know how I stop that. The SSL authentication is set on, with correct passwords etc. I've checked my email server and made sure there isn't a filter to spam my own email, and as far as I can see everything is fine. I've even tried deleting the account and setting it up again from scratch, but I still have the same problem
All help appreicated.
Thank you.

I'm not aware of any spam filter that checks email you send, and the iPhone's Mail app does not have a spam filter for received messages so it certainly does not have a spam filter to check messages you send which I've never heard of.
How do you know the iPhone's Mail app is adding anything to the message header - how and where did you confirm this, and this is being added to the message header where?
Something like this can be added by a spam filter, which is being done by the recipient's incoming mail server or by the recipient's email client used to access the account on their computer, not by the iPhone 's Mail app which doesn't include a spam filter for received messages and certainly not for messages you send.

I get message: looked like spam or contained a virus when sending from iphone or e-mail

i just installed new photosmart 5510 e-all-in-one. all works well except for when i try e-mail from my laptop to printer or iphone to printer. i get message sayine: looked like spam or contained a virus my wife has no problem sending from her laptop or iphone. i use incredimail and she uses msmail. printing from laptops is no problem, only my e-mail or iphone. any suggestions?

Hello gunnylarry,
There are a couple of reasons that you can get that message. First, it could be that ePrint does not recognize your email service provider. Second, it could be that your phone and email have signatures. Make sure that neither has a signature and try sending the email again. Other than that, make sure there are no forward or reply tags in the subject line.

Outlook Sending from Iphone Issue

I couldn't get any responses to this question (posted below), but now I have another related question.
I've noticed that anything I send from my iphone (Outlook based, not yahoo or hotmail) just hangs in the Outbox until I get within range of my home router. Until I get the iphone attached to my router when I try to send it just says the server does not recognize my email address. Ideas?
Old post with no answer yet: I have this issue with both my wife's Iphone 3 and my Iphone 4. We have seperate Outlook email accounts but, many of the emails we get on our desktop are not going to my Iphone 4 or her Iphone 3. I have the accounts set up correctly I think, but not sure why not all the emails that hit our desktop inbox don't also get to our Iphone. I also can't reply or send from the Iphones for the Outlook accounts. When I try to send something it stays in the Outbox and gives the message that the Server didn't recognize the account.
My Hotmail and Yahoo mail work just fine. Any ideas?

You can access a Yahoo and a Hotmail account with Outlook. Who is the email account provider for this account? Is the account provided by your internet service provider for your internet access at home?
Most, if not all internet service providers block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of the ISP's network or not provided by the ISP being used for your internet connection at the time unless the SMTP server is authenticated. The same applies to AT&T when connected to the internet via their cellular network. Yahoo has an authenticated SMTP server and I believe Microsoft has the same with a Hotmail account.

Sounds like the email accounts are POP accounts and if so, what is your account setting with Outlook for removing messages from the server when downloaded by Outlook? If you want the same messages downloaded with Outlook available for download when accessing the account with the iPhone's Mail app, you need to set this to never with the account settings with Outlook.
If already set to never with the account settings with Outlook, do you leave Outlook launched and running actively checking the accounts for new messages while your iPhone is doing the same? If so, there is a limitation with a POP account in this regard. With a POP account, only one email client at a time such as Outlook or the iPhone's Mail app can access the incoming mail server to check the incoming mail server for new messages and/or download any new messages at the server. When a 2nd email client attempts to do the same as another email client, the incoming mail server will temporarily lock out the 2nd email client from accessing the incoming mail server until the communication with the incoming mail server has been completed and closed by the other email client. This is not a problem with an IMAP account. Although it is possible to access a POP account with more than one email client, a POP account is designed to be accessed with a single email client only. An IMAP account is designed to be accessed with more than one email client with all server stored mailboxes kept synchronized with the server with each email client used to access the account.
