E-mail sent from one account shows different e-mail  to recipient

I am having a problem with my e-mail. I have a home account and a business account through mail. When I go to send a business account mail, the addressee will see the from address as being my home e-mail. I have gone through my preferences but no luck. I would like to keep my home and work e-mails separate but am having a problem with this.

So does your ISP use IMAP or POP - that may have something to do with it? Mine is strictly POP (the last time I checked with them).
Edit: and, while in your business account (under Accounts), have you checked the correct (business) account under Preferences -> Composing -> Send new messages from?

  • Mail sent from one account gets replies to another account

    I have several email accounts under Apple Mail.  One is my Gmail account, and another is my school account that uses the Gmail system (but has a different @address).
    Every time I send an email from my school account, I get replies to my Gmail account.  Any idea why?

  • Sending from one account shows up as another

    I am sure that there is something very simple in the settings that I am missing. My primary email account is a verizon one and it is linked to my Mail on my iMac and MacBook. When I send an email from my iPhone's Verizon account, however, it is received as if it were sent from my gmail account and consequently replies go there. This is not a critical issue, but just bothersome because I use each account for a different purpose and I am ending up forwarding then from one account to the other.
    How do I correct this? It's almost like I set something as a primary account, but I can't find out where that may be.
    Thanks.

    Hey all,
    I suspect I'm having a similar problem. For some reason my primary server "smtp.mac.com" won't send messages so the iphone uses my next preferred server "smtp.gmail.com" to send messages. The problem here is that the replies then go to my gmail account (which for me is picked up by my mac and not my iphone).
    This is a big problem for me as I sent an important email today from my iphone and received no reply which (in the context) meant everything was fine. However, I only found out much later in the day whey I got to my computer that in fact everything was not fine and I almost had to cancel meetings to be somewhere the next day all because the apple stuff is just dropping the ball when it comes to actual functionality for business use....
    Anyway, I'm trying to find a solution. If I do I'll post another response. So far I'm looking at ditching mobileme (which is what I currently use as a free trial) and just using gmail and gmail calendar instead.

  • Move Verizon E-mail address from one account to another

    I am wondering if it is possible to move an email address from one account to another. I am the primary account holder for a couple of email addresses - one of which is my mother-in-law. I am discontinuing my Verizon account but she has since started a Verizon FIOS account at her house. I'd like to move her email address to her account so the switch for her is painless (or as painless as possible). Thanks, in advance, for your help.

    Yes and No. As of right now they will not move email address unless the name on both accounts match exactly.

  • Mail sent from my iPad shows as being from 'Yahoo' rather than my name?

    I have a yahoo account synced with my iPad. When i compose and send an email the receiver sees an email from 'Yahoo' and not my name? Why is this and how do i or can I change this so that it appears as from me?

    I just played around with my Yahoo account. The from name that appeared in an email sent to a different account matched what was in the "Name" block in Yahoo! Account Information in Settings>Mail....>Yahoo!

  • Mail sent from one email address gets responded to another

    I have two google accounts connected through my mail app. All of a sudden I started getting response emails to my personal account, that I had originally sent from my work email. I don't know exactly what is going on? I don't want to mess with anything either because I'm afraid it's going to get worse.
    I am 100% certain that when I send emails that the drop down menu under the subject line, which reads "from:", is selected as the work email that I wish to send the email from. This is why I'm so confused as to why I am recieving emails on my personal account.
    If anyone could walk me through this I would be greatly appreciative.
    Thanks.

    You have the 2 smtp servers mixed up, select the correct one for each address and select 'Use only this server'

  • Apple mail sent with one account but sends with a different account

    I have 5 email accounts in Apple mail.  I have what I call my main one and many times when I take care to send FROM that one, it will land in the recipient's mailbox sent by a different account.  I have tested it different ways even going so far as BCC myself, checking to make sure it is sent out with correct one and it still ends up sending it with the secondary/wrong account.  Any ideas?  I cannot delete the secondary account as I sometimes need to use it for work.  thank you in advance. 

    I have mine set to 993... but I did not set it... all i did was set up gmail, and it worked automaticlly. That might have been the port number in Lion... i dont know.

  • Moving mail messages from one account to another sends to inbox, not IMAP folder

    I have many email addresses (setup via Google apps) but I generally store all of my emails on one standard Gmail IMAP account. It makes looking for old emails easier IMO. Here's what my workflow should look like:
    I get an email on account B, reply with account B, then file that email into account B's folder on account A.
    Unfortunately, that workflow has been broken for a very long time now and 10.8.3 didn't fix it.
    Here's what that workflow actually does:
    I get an email on account B, reply with account B, then file that email into account B's folder on account A, the email ends up in the inbox of account A, I then have to drag the email into account B's folder on account A *again* so it actually sticks.  The tricky part is that Mail seems to have the message in two locations until I
    Instead of moving the email directly to account B's folder on account A, it goes to the inbox of account A. I'm really tired of having to move a message twice just to get it into the right folder. I was hoping 10.8.3 would fix this but it's still broken. I believe I started noticing the issue in Lion.
    I only use Gmail IMAP accounts if that helps. I've re-installed from scratch to eliminate any user account / upgrade issues that could've caused the problem.
    I would really appreciate any suggestions or confirmation of the problem from other people so I can file another bug report (did that already but they never understood the issue). 

    Hi,
    Locate your Mail folder via this path - Home/Library/Mail and copy it to the same location on the second machine - when you get the message about overwriting say yes. (make sure Mail is not open on either machine)
    I f you're nervous about overwriting the corrupted copy - simply move it out of Home/Library first - say to the desktop. When you copy the new Mail folder over, and you know it works - delete the desktop copy.

  • TS3276 when I send an email from one account, it shows up as sent from another gmail account. Anybody ever run into this

    When I send an email from one of my accounts, it shows up as sent from another account. Does anyone know how to correct this?

    As Ernie said, you need to create an SMTP server for each gmail account with the correct username and password. Be sure the correct server for each account is listed in the SMTP box and check the box to use only that server for that account.
    Gmail's default behavior when sending from one account through another account's outgoing server is to change the address to the server which is used. Same goes if I send a message from my ATT/Yahoo account and use gmail's server to send through. It will change the ATT address to the gmail address.
    There is an option in gmail's settings under the Account's tab under Send Mail As. You can add different gmail or other accounts such as Yahoo to this and choose how the gmail server handles it. You can set it to send as the sending account and not change the address. I've used this many times for my ATT account for sending through gmail when ATT accounts were having problems.
    You can add the different accounts to each gmail account you have.

  • Using multiple MAIL accounts with GMail. When I compose a message from one account it shows "FROM" as one of my other accounts. How can I resolve this?  Thanks!

    This is only happening in one of my four email accounts...

  • HT5624 I have two mail accounts and one Icloud account. Thproblem is mail is going out with the incorrect sent from address. I deleted the mail accounts and added just one account back and mail still goes out with the incorrect from address and people res

    My phone will not5 send from the correct address tht I want my mail sent from. Although my mail goes into the correct mail accout answeres leave with the incorrect sent from address.
    I want to be able to send mail corectly.

    In Mail Preferences/Accounts/each GMail account, set up the SMTP Outgoing Server for each account separately, going into SMTP name/edit/Advanced and specify the Username of each account.  The Outgoing servers must be two different servers, authenticated by the Username and Password of each.
    Otherwise, the GMail SMTP server will change the from address to that of the account where the SMTP server was setup.

  • I have 3 email accounts in Mail on Macbook Pro.  Mail is only being sent from 1 account.

    I have 3 email accounts in Mail.  Mail is only being sent from 1 account, even though I select one of the other accounts in the "from" field.  In my sent box, the "From" field says the accout I selected, but all recipients say they receive it from a different account.  I set my composing preferences "send new messages from" to the main account, but all my mail is still being sent from a different account.  I cannot see that this is happening, only people receiving it can.  I noticed it because when they reply, it goes to a different account than what I sent to them.  Any suggestions with what I should do?

    Thank you!  Funny.  I had just found that answer eleswhere:  http://simonwheatley.co.uk/2013/02/apple-mail-sending-email-from-the-wrong-accou nt/

  • No SENT MAIL folder in one account

    I have two e-mail accounts on my iPhone, just as I have on my computer. However while one account shows a complete list of preferences and folders (incoming, sent, drafts ,spam, starred, travel, etc) the other account only show "incoming, drafts and trash". I particularly want to see "sent" mail from both accounts. I don't see a resolution when I go to my mailpreferences settings in my iphone. (iPhone 3G)

    Copied from your original post.
    However while one account shows a complete list of preferences and folders (incoming, sent, drafts ,spam, starred, travel, etc)
    The only mailboxes available with a POP account when accessing a POP account with the iPhone's mail client is the account's Inbox, Drafts, Sent, and Trash mailboxes. The same applies when accessing a POP account with an email client on your computer except for the account's Junk mailbox since the email client on your computer includes a junk mail filter, which the iPhone's mail client does not include.
    The only way you can have a spam, starred, travel, etc. mailboxes is with an IMAP account.
    Who are the email account providers for the accounts? With a "starred" mailbox, this account sounds like a Gmail account. If so and you created the account with the iPhone's Mail client using the Gmail account preset, the account was created as an IMAP account. If you have the option to store the account's Sent mailbox on the server or locally on your iPhone with the account preferences, the account is an IMAP account.
    If you have successfully sent messages with the other email account but no Sent mailbox is available, try deleting and recreating the account on your iPhone.

  • Imap mail sent from my iphone does not show up in the sent folder on my desktop

    imap mail sent from my iphone or ipad does not show up in the sent folder on my desktop

    Hi Bob,
    I'm using Mac Mail 4.5
    I have set up my mail preferences to include a "From"
    Web mail includes the appropriate "from" header information.
    Interestingly, when I send emails from this account on other machines it's ok.
    (ipad2,iPhone 3s,powermac)
    It just seems to be the MacBook Pro that is presenting this error.
    As an aside, my ISP host recently upgraded from Pop to Imap.

  • Mail sent from my iPhone 4S stopped showing in Outlook

    Hi,
    Till Monday all was fine with the way mails sent from my iPhone 4S / iPad would also show up in my Outlook 2007 sent folder.
    This suddenly stopped in case of mails sent from the iPhone and I cannot seem to find a solution, have attempted a reboot of the phone , deleted and redone the email account ( gmail apps account ) , checked all settings on the email account , deleted and reinstalled the account in Outlook as well .
    Any clues anyone ??? Thanks in advance for the help
    Samir

    What you did a reboot, was that a reset?
    Reset your iPhone by pressing the 'Sleep' and 'Home' button at the same time for about 15 seconds or so. Your iPhone will then go through a reset / reboot procedure and will be ready for use within about a minute.
    Don't worry about doing this as you will not lose data or settings.
    Good luck and do report back.
