Email "from field" is connected to apple id?

Hi,
I have two separate apple id, one for myself and one for my family.
I use the ipad1 and iphone 4 while my family use the ipad2 and the iphone 3.
I authorise the imac to allow my apps to also be available for my family.
I am wondering if this is causing the following problem.
When my family send mails out mail from the ipad2, which is a separate email then my personal email, the mail sent out show that it is from the family account but when you open the email it shows that it is being send from my personal account.
I have checked the mail account settings in the ipad2 and it is setup only for the family account.
Any idea what is wrong?

Problem solved. Under SMTP, other then the primary server, there was also smtp server setup for gmail. Some how that got in the way and causes the sent mail from my family email to use my personal gmail account. After removing that other SMTP servers email, the sent email has the correct From field.

  • How to change email "From" field???

    Hi Everyone, 
    New to blackberry.   I would like to know how I can change the "From" field when you send an email from the phone to a name or email address I want it to say.    
    Here is my email situation:
    My email address is ''[email protected]" (which i purchased) and anbody who sends an email to me gets forwarded to my yahoo email account.  In yahoo I created an "alias" "[email protected]" so when I send an email, nobody sees my actual yahoo account which I want to keep private.  How do I do this?  
    I searched in the forum but coudn't find any solutions.  Thanks so much for any help. 

    You couldn't find any solution because there is none given your current configuration.
    You're receiving your email from your Yahoo account - not your peronal domain account.  It's kind of a security issue for you not to be able to forge an email address on your BlackBerry.  In fact, you can't change the FROM address when replying at all on a BlackBerry.  You can forward using another email address that's set up on the device, but you can't manually enter a FROM address even when forwarding.
    First thing to do is to set up your personal email account through your BIS setup.
    Once you've done that, you can either stop forwarding your personal email to your Yahoo account, OR filter your personal email to NOT be forwarded to your device through your Yahoo BIS setup, OR have your personal email filtered on your Yahoo account and delivered to a folder other than the Inbox and it shouldn't be seen by your BIS setup.

  • Criteria Workflow emails - FROM field

    Hello,
    on criteria workflow steps notification emails can be sent to the users.
    Emails are sent from document author (dDocAuthor) in FROM field of the email message.
    Is it possible to configure that emails would be sent from sysadmin (or other constant user) but not from dDocAuthor?

    Thank you for your reply Frank. I am using Mac OS X Version 10.6.8 with Mail app version 4.5. I just updated all the software and these are the latest versions. So, the question is about Mail app 4.5.
    The problem looks the same even after all the updates. When I try to redirect the message, I have empty To field to type in where to send the message and the From field shows a drop down menu with MY email addresses of the configured Mailboxes in my Maill app (these being gmail and hotmail). The original From field is simply not there and is not in pull down menu.

  • HT201250 Hi, how do I restore my email from Time Machine, I use Apple Mail, I can't see a folder marked "email" Thanks

    Hi, How do i restore my email when it has been backed up in a time capsule, I can see files for photos, documents etc etc, but nothing that says email. i use Mavericks and Apple Mail
    Thanks - fist time using this so forgive me if I havent given enough info

    The simpliest way to restore Apple Mail emails is to make sure that Apple Mail is the active application running on your OS X Desktop. Then click the Time Machine icon on the OS X menu bar, and then, select the "Enter Time Machine" option. Time Machine should open with a number of Apple Mail windows with copies of your email messages over time.

  • Cannot send email from my Touch (connection to smtp server fails)

    Hello,
    I have a new iPod Touch with 1.1.4 and the January apps. I am having a problem setting the Mail application.
    I am trying to connect to the IMAP/SMTP servers at my university. I am using the exact same settings and passwords I use on my laptop, which works fine. I can receive email fine on my Touch, but every time I try to send one it fails tellings me "the connection to the outgoing server smtp.myuniversity.edu failed".
    If I on purpose write a wrong password for the outgoing mail, the error message I get is different ("check the account settings for the outgoing server smtp.myuniversity.edu").
    The university IT people confirmed my settings, and told me that there is nothing blocking any handheld device from using the server.
    Does anyone know why this would happen?
    Thanks,
    Marcelo

    Thank you very much for your responses
    1) the link to mail setup is (sorry, it's quite long)

    2) I am indeed using SSL, as instructed by IT
    3) I do use port 587 instead of 25 (25 does not work either)
    Any ideas? Thanks again.

  • Can I import 5 years of email from Win Outlook Express to Apple Mail?

    This looks like a large problem.
    I'm trying to import 5 yrs worth of email, all categorized in sub-directories within the WIN version of Outlook Express 6, into the current version of Apple Mail.
    Can this be done? If so, how?
    While Outlook Express is listed on the import panel of Apple Mail, I believe it means the Mac version of OE from MS Office 4. I have that, but it's not installed.
    Could I install it, somehow import the WIN OE 6 mail into that, and THEN import into Apple Mail?
    Or is there (we live in hope) an easier way?
    1000 thanks!

    You may use O2M, or you may import your mail into Thunderbird on the PC, then use Eudora Mailbox Cleaner to import that into Apple’s Mail.

  • Apple Mail moved all my email from my hotmail account to apple Mail

    I have already stopped my new mail in hotmail to get deleated and sent to apple Mail.
    I want to know if it's possible to sent the mail that was sent to apple Mail back to my hotmail account
    Thanks

    It is usual, but not absolutely necessary, for emails to be downloaded from server to TB mail account Inbox and then delete them off the server.
    I personally, delete all but the last 30 days off the server, so that between my monthly backup and the emails on the server, I could retrieve most if not all mail in the event of a loss.
    You could get the emails back on the server, but you may notice that all the dates seem to change to the date when you put them back on the server.

  • If I change my Apple ID to Gmail or hotmail will I receive all the emails from that address on my apple devices

    If I change my Apple ID to Gmail or hotmail will I then receive the emails for that email address on my apple device?

    It doesn't matter who your email provider is with regard to receiving emails on Apple devices. You should be able to set up an email account in the mail app whether you use Gmail or Hotmail. Do you already have an email account with one of those two providers?

  • TS3899 cannot send email from my I pad, tried Apple help and Google with no success.  Ipad 2 running 7.0.6.  Any help would be very much appreciated, this is driving me crackers!

    I give up. Life is more important then this rubbish, forget it.

    When using the MobileMe account preset to create the account, the SMTP server is created with 587 as the SMTP server port, which can't be changed when using the MM account preset to create the account.

  • HT5624 Why in my email ( the one on my ipod5 that I use with my apple ID) when I get emails about my use of my apple ID to use a service in the from field it has my fathers name and when I click on it it shows his contact info ????

    Why in my email ( the one on my ipod5 that I use with my apple ID) when I get emails about my use of my apple ID to use a service in the from field it has my fathers name and when I click on it it shows his contact info ???? I also set up my apple ID with a new email account and also I signed up for iCloud but used the same apple I'd email and password but it gave me a I cloud email! I did activate the favorites in my email . Noticed the from field has my fathers name and contact and it is a notification about me using my apple ID to sign in to FaceTime! Something is messed up, not sure how or why???

    i didn't read a lot of your 2nd paragraph, but it seems like the password is the issue, right?
    do a true clean install
    reboot your machine and hold down command+option+r, you should see a spinning globe - if you don't see the globe or anything that reads internet recovery, shut down and try again
    at menu, chose disk utility and once there, find your HD on the left side, select the physical name and erase it as mac journaled
    exit disk utlity
    at menu, choose install OSX
    this time, when it asks for a password just hit continue, it will let you complete without a password
    you should be able to get into your laptop, now figure out what password you'll be able to use with your kb issue

  • I can't send emails from iPhone until I connect to my wifi! I am with bigpond and have a bigpond email address. Can anyone help me?

    I can't send emails from iPhone until I connect to my wifi at home. I am with bigpond and have a bigpond email address. Can anyone help me?

    Try closing the Mail app completely and see if it works properly when you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

    I am unable to receive or send email from my IPAD.  The error message says "Connection to server failed".  Help!! geandreamer44

    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    You will have to re enter your Wi-Fi password.
    If nothing above helped, restart your router.
    No data is lost due to a reset.

  • Apple Mail "From:" Field Customization

    I have several IMAP accounts in Apple Mail. One of them is a Gmail account that I use as a conduit account for work, so when I reply to messages or compose new mail, I would like it to display a specific address in the "From:" field, instead of selecting it every time (I added my work account to Mail as well, though I forward messages to my Gmail account). So, for example, my Gmail account is "[email protected]" and my work email is "[email protected]".
    When I compose messages from the Gmail account I would like the "From:" field to display "[email protected]" instead of "[email protected]". I am able to set up Gmail web interface to do this, but have not been able to set up Apple Mail to do the same (aside from instructing it to send messages using my work server, instead of the Gmail server).
    In Lion, Mail was able to specify that address if I was replying to a messages sent to "[email protected]" but would show "[email protected]" for every new message. In ML, even replying to a message sent to "[email protected]" shows "[email protected]" in the "From:" field.
    Does anyone know how to instruct Mail to choose only "[email protected]" when replying or composing new messages?
    Thanks for your help!

    What you are describing is what is known as "articulation work". To quote Suchman, "'Articulation work' names the continuous efforts required in order to bring together discontinuous elements - of organizations, of professional practices, of technologies - into working configurations". That makes it sound better than it is.
    Ideally, your non-profit needs a decent webhost like Dreamhost that can transparently integrate with Google Mail and make the whole problem go away.

    I configured Mail to use the work SMTP server to send messages from the Gmail account.
    This is what is known as e-mail spoofing.
    In the web Gmail interface, everything works smoothly.
    Yes. Google is known for ignoring laws and facilitating any kind of network traffic, legitimate or not, in order to track activity and build value for its advertising business.
    In Mail, even if the message was sent to [email protected], Mail replies show up with [email protected] in the "From:" field
    Yes. That is the way it is supposed to work.
    I also set up a rule for redirecting Sent messages to Gmail and moving the original copies to Trash on the work account. In Lion, all was well and the replies indicated [email protected] in the "From:" field and when I manually applied the rule to the Sent messages, they were sent to the Gmail account.
    That's the "articulation work" in action.
    I've looked at some of the discussion you linked (thank you for that) and found it enlighening, though I am not done reading all of it yet.
    There are a number of different issues going on. Modern e-mail is extraordinarily complicated.
    What I do now is not forward work email and keep the daily workflow focused on the Inbox of the [email protected] account, which handles replies appropriately. I then set up a rule to redirect any mail from the work account that is over a day old to the Gmail account. I then organize it on the web interface (which is not optimal, but cuts down my time spent on the web interface from "always" to once daily or so).
    You could probably improve that by creating folders in GMail from within Apple Mail. Once you move an old message from the work server to GMail where you have more room, you can have additional rules to move it around within GMail.
    The only real, definitive solution is to have more room for e-mail. You should contact your system administrator and suggest switching to GMail or Microsoft's version. Everyone hates dealing with e-mail. That is why these transparent e-mail services are so popular. Once it gets setup, all the magic happens in the name servers and all anyone ever sees is "work.org". Plus, you will likely gain some additional functionality that Microsoft Exchange supports that older systems do not.
    In the interim, the best solution is to show the "Reply-to:" field and put your "[email protected]" address in there. Replies will be directed to that address but you will still have to move everything around after receipt. You should be able to configure your "work.org" e-mail system to automatically forward all you rmail to the GMail account. Combined with "Reply-to:", that is about as good as it is going to get.
    If you need more clarification, let me know. Though I think that ML is behaving in a way that is not convenient and I don't see a way to create a hack to fix it. It seems like it would be an easy feature to add, but who knows what Apple folks are thinking...
    What you have described is e-mail spoofing and Apple doesn't support that. No legitimate internet e-mail provider should support it. If Google does, then that is Google's problem. Most other e-mail servers would not allow that and that is why Apple doesn't support it. And, in general, Apple software is simply not very amenable to "hacks".
    I have though about writing an Apple Mail plugin to automatically add a "Reply-to:" to certain e-mail messages. It will be a few months before I get time for that, so don't hold your breath.

  • Iphone 4s-when wifi is off and I am away from my home connection can I receive and send texts and text messages?  I want to keep my wifi off to limit data (email etc) to when I want to check it.  Cellular is roaming"voice only" it says.Can I get texts?

    When my wifi is off and I'm away from my home connection - it shows wifi off (unless I turn it on to check my email etc.) - and in the settings cellular it shows "voice only". Will I be able to receive and send texts in those settings?  Or check voicemail.  I had wanted to keep my email from coming in all the time and only want to check it periodically - so I turn ON my wifi when I want to check my email.  But when my wifi was off away from home- I hadn't seemed to be getting my texts.  So- do I need to keep wifi roaming connected when away from home to receive and send my texts in real time.  (which is what I want) or am I still able to send and receive texts with my wifi off when I'm away from home.  (When I'm home I am connected to my home data plan automatically through wifi and I get texts when I'm home - but I'm thinking I'm not getting texts in real time - is it because my wifi is off when I'm away from home?  My cellular shows voice only when my wifi is off away from home.  Am I doing it right to receive and send texts away from home?  Or do I need to open up the wifi in order to receive and send text messages.  I know that I would need to turn on wifi roaming - which will use data - for email checking or sending - as well as to use browsing apps and now I'm guessing to receive voice messages I may have missed?  So do I need wifi on to receive texts too?  Thank you - GregorySC

    Hello GregorySC,
    In order to send and receive SMS or MMS messages, you will need to have an active cellular data or Wi-Fi connection.
    You will need these to send and receive iMessages:
    An iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    iOS 5.0 or later
    A cellular data connection or a Wi-Fi connection
    A phone number or Apple ID registered with iMessage in Settings > Messages
