Email Aliases & Replying to Messages

I have Mail on my iPhone setup for email aliases (not Mobile Me aliases). It works great for maintaining a single inbox while still being able to send messages from the various aliases.
However, when replying to messages, Mail always defaults to the main account, regardless of which alias the original message was sent to. In Mail on OS X, when replying to a message, it automatically changes the ‘From’ address to the alias the message was sent to. Is this not possible on the iPhone? I would much rather not have to manually chose which account to send the message from every time I am replying.

Nope, no such luck, at least for now. That's a change Apple would need to make in a future update. You can request it...

My Iphone 4 will not let me send an email or reply to an email. The message states it has put it in my outbox and it is rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying??? I can't seem to find an answer to fix this. Any help?

My Iphone 4 will not let me send an email or reply to an email. The message states that it has put my email in my outbox and that my server does not allow for relaying. Can anyone help with this? I have read some other answers and nothing has worked Thanks

Your email provider has blocked the standard mail port 25 for sending emails and is requiring a different port. This is to avoid mail relays that use mail clients to send spam. You need to find the port that is used by your provider for sending outgoing mail. Then change the settings in your email account on your phone to match the port. You will also have to provide some security credentials for the account.
You can also try deleting the email account from your iphone, and the adding the email account back as this will many times set the correct port for sending emails.
You could also do a Google search on the the settings for your device with your email provider. That will provide you with the proper settings.

Messages Beta and iCloud email aliases

I set up Messages and made my primary contact id my icloud/apple id.
I tried to add an email alias that I use frequently with the icloud account but I keep getting an error when I try to add that email alias as an email account.
Any thoughts/suggestions?
thanks

I am not sure what you mean by "connected with the Apple ID in use". The email aliases were email aliases that I had with MobileMe and they carried over to icloud. Email sent to either the original Apple ID or the email alias has always worked as expected. The email shows up on IOS devices and my Mac regardless of whether the email was addressed to the original Apple ID or the email alias.

I have just been having this problem and it has been driving me mad. The error message doesn't tell you which file is causing the problem so you can't fix it and it leaves your libray in a state of limbo with some files copied into the new location and some in the old location. After many hours I found a surprisingly quick and simple solution.
1) in iTune create a smart play list that includes everything that was added before tomorrows date. This will include everything.
2) Right click this playlist and export it as a text file to produce a tab delimited file.
3) Import this into a spread sheet, or just view it in a text editor with line wrap turned off. What you are interested in is the last column (or end of the line in a text editor). This gives you the path of the file associated with each entry in the library.
The path of the files that have already been copied successfully will start with the new location for your media files you specified. Scroll thru the rows until you get a blank path. If you start getting paths starting with the old Media file location then you went to far and start scrolling back.
The row with the blank path was the file that failed. Move back to the start of the row to find out more about it. In my case it was a podcast with a very long name. I just deleted that podcast from iTunes.
4) Restart the consolidation by choosing File, Library as you did before and the process starts again where it left off.
5) If it fails again on another file just repeat the process

How can I send from multiple email aliases & names?

Hi, I wish to achieve the same result as the OP at http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=112689 and by following the useful guides in that thread, am able to achieve what I want... sort of.
Basically, I have one POP account/mailbox, and only one.
However, I use 3 email aliases for different work purposes, e.g.:
Fred Blogs <[email protected]>
Dr F Blogs <[email protected]>
The Surgery <[email protected]>
Now, according to the advice, in Mail I can create one Mailbox, and under 'email address' in Mailbox Preferences, enter:
[email protected], [email protected], [email protected]
This works fine as far as it goes, and I get a drop down when creating new mail, however, all 3 'aliases' come from the same person's 'Name' - the 1 name I entered in the mailbox preferences in Mail.
No, what I need to achieve is to be able to send email from the 3 different names as well as email addresses, not just 3 different email addresses all with the same name.
This was a doddle under Outlook, you just create 3 accounts with the same SMTP server, but set 2 of them not to receive email (otherwise you'd end up with 3 lots of each incoming email from that 1 shared mailbox).
Mail however is not having any of it, and won't let me create duplicate accounts. I have even tried adding the full name in the email address field of settings, separated by commas: Fred Blogs <[email protected]>, Dr F Blogs <[email protected]>, The Surgery <[email protected]>. That didn't work either.
How can I achieve what used to be quite a simple process on my PC? I can't be the only person who uses one unified mailbox account, but sends from different aliases?
Thanks.

Thanks, but the issue occurs when I am trying to set up the 2nd account and get to the Incoming Mail Server Page.
Because I am using the same Incoming Mail Server and User Name as the 1st account, when I click Continue it reports:
/!\ The account "Account 1" already has this hostname and username.
It then won't let me continue. Now it sounds like you have the same setup, so do you have the same hostname and username in all your multiple accounts? :-S
The reason it does this is - I suspect - because even if you untick 'Include when automatically checking for new mail', when you manually check for new mail, you'd still get 3 lots of the same message. How do you get around this?

What is the maximum number of email aliases allowed?

I just tried to set up 2 email aliases via iCloud.com. I already have one setup and wanted to add a further two, which should be allowed as it says I can setup 2 more at the bottom of the preferences pane. I did delete an alias that I no longer used about a month or so ago. I've created one new alias but when I go to create my second new one it flashes up with a message saying something about a waitng period? And that because I've just deleted an alias I've got to wait 7 days before I can setup a new one as I'm at my maximum?!
I'm not at my maximum, I've got 2 setup and it says I have one more to setup now but it won't let me do it. I don't know why it's giving me this waiting period because I cancelled one of my old aliases ages ago. Any ideas?

You are allowed three aliases. When you have three, and delete one, you have to wait 7 days before you can create another to replace it.
That's the theory. Several posters have complained that the 7 days has extended itself into several weeks, and I've not seen a solution as yet.

Email aliases in iPad

I have a MM account with couple of email aliases I use. I have my iPad and iPhone both set up to sync with MM cloud. On my iPhone, my alias accounts show up in mail and mail can be sent from them. The aliases do not show up on my iPad. How can I get the alias accounts to show up on the iPad so I can send email from them?
Thanks

Command to list all email aliases /groups and members on the mail server.

Hi,
We are using SJS MEssaging server 6.2 .
Which is the command to use to list all email aliases/groups and members on the mail server.
Thanks,

You can use the "commadmin group search" command to list the ldap groups (if you have Delegated Administration installed/configured), otherwise you can use a directory ldapsearch to find the groups.

I can neither send nor reply to messages from my iPhone 4. It may be since I downloaded iOS 6.0 but not sure.

No, sorry, I meant emails. I can no longer compose emails or reply to emails on my iPhone -- only receive them. Any idea why? Thank you!

Palm pre - when replying to messages - all formatting in previous messages is lost

with the pre - if I reply to an email all the formatting is lost. eg -get an email, I reply to that email, all the people that I reply to lose all formatting when they view the message that I sent in reply - it is like all the hard returns are lost and they see just one string of content.. Do others experience this issue?

Email aliases and .mac

I have sucessfully set up my .mac alias (using .mac mail).
First make a note of your primary account information:
Username & password
Incoming mail server
Outgoing mail server
Ports etc...
You will be applying these settings to your new account.
On iPhone go to:
* Settings/mail/add account/choose "other".
* Sellect type: imap
Name the account (name you want to appear in "from" field of email).
Type in your .mac alias address.
Description: Name of mailbox (i.e. personal, work).
Incoming mail server (enter info from your primary account):
* Host Name: mail.example.com (or mail.mac.com)
* Your primary account username
* Your primary account password
Outgoing mail server (enter info from your primary account)
In my case, for out going mail server I am using:
smtp.att.yahoo.com, port: 465
My username & password
Now, on my iPhone mail, I can select which account to send & receive from.
Personal or work.
Works for me, hope it does for you!

The only way "around" this is to set up truly separate email accounts. Because you are using aliases, all accounts are merely different names for the same primary account. Thus, all accounts will be the same, just with different names. By computer analogy, it would be akin to creating multiple aliases to the same file on your computer but trying to get each one to "point to," or "mirror" a different file. The only solution, or "work-around" to this would be to create separate files.
The same thing applies to email aliases. They are not truly separate accounts, so no fix or work-around will ever apply. However, rest assured that the recipient will only ever see the alias name of the account used to send the email. They will be under the impression that when they reply, they are replying to your alias name, and will not have access to your primary email name unless you give it to them.
The beauty of the email alias is that it is transparent to you. If you begin to get spam from a particular alias, you can simply turn it off or delete it altogether. If you look at the "to" filed under your mail header, you can see to which alias each email was sent...

Email vacation reply will not disable -- help

My email vacation reply will not disable. I have used both the account management tool and the Settings/Email on the email reader itself without success. In additon I have called and talked at least 3 times with Verizon tech people WITHOUT success. As a result I can not use my verizon account as everyone who emails me gets a vacation reply.
Is there any Verzion tech guy or gal reading these message who can REALLY help.
Thanks

Go to: www22.verizon.com/foryourhome/myaccount/protected/account/myaccountprofile.aspx.
Go to the Verizon Email Address section, and click on "Settings" on the right side.
A menu will pop up that has Vacation Reply as a clickable option.
Click on Vacation Reply, and you should be set.
I completely agree that it's almost impossible to know that intuitively. I discovered it this morning while trying to disable my vacation reply. Hope this helps.

I just updated to firefox 4. i cant send/reply to messages in hotmail or other websites that i have profiles on which have messageing applications. browser also redirects me to random pages and takes too long to load.

I have since removed 4 and gone back to firefox 3, but the problem still exists. Im having issues with Internet Explorer too.
This is an example of the script that fills the ENTIRE webpage, when i try to send/reply to messages, not only in hotmail, but any site that you can send email from.

I don't have any netflix add ons or extensions installed. I only have necessary plug ins installed. I have turned off all add ons and restarted so this issue is not related to an add on, plug in or extension. I also can rule out my dsl provider as I have hooked my pc up to other family members connections with the same provider on the same server and it did the same thing, However their pc has no issue. I have taken my pc to 3 technicians and there are no problems they can find with my registry or any infections or spyware. The PC does the same thing on their connections.All hardware passes every test they can throw at it. I have tried other browsers and reinstalling this one as well and the same thing happens. This really is mind boggling. I have ATT/uverse beta 6.0. There should be no delay in starting up my browser. After startup, it works great no problems but the speed starting up is on par with old fashioned dial up right now. I have 3 gigs of ram available and I have 85 percent capacity left on hard drive , processor speed of 3.4 with dual core processor. Makes no sense at all.

Outlook on pc. Why can't I send a new email or reply to an existing one?

I have outlook already on one pc working fine via icloud. Also working on 2 iphones and an ipad. What could I have done wrong when setting up the next pc which won't let me send emails or reply to them? I have the icloud control panel and outlook 2007/windows7. Emails from both email accounts have downloaded and continue to do so.

Nate0421, Let's make sure we get your picture messages working! What happens when you try to send a picture message from your phone to your computer? Do you receive any error messages?
