Email "from" not cooperating

I have several email accounts on my Mac and for some reason one of them refuses to be selected for sending mail. I choose the correct "from" account but it always comes from a different email address. Any suggestions?

I too had the same problem which emanated from the fact the Description assigned to my smtp outgoing server was the same for each individual email account was the same ie Gmail. Check this by going to Mail Preferences, select an email account and then click on the drop down arrows for outgoing smtp mail server and click on Edit SMTP Server List.
If you have for example, an outgoing server named ie Gmail followed by all your email accounts in the column marked ' In Use By Account ' this could well be your problem as it was with me and mail is sending all mail from the first named account.
The only cure I found was to delete all my email accounts and reinstate them but as I reinstated them I went into Accounts one at a time and in the  Description field instead of leaving it at simply ie Gmail, I assigned the Description as Gmail followed by the name of that  respective account ie Gmail Fred Bloggs but excluded the @ part of the email address.
I hope my explanation makes sense ( I'm not always the best at describing procedures ). Any probs just get back.

  • IPad 2: Cannot send email from notes

    I have a 2nd generation iPad.  I have the newest iOS.  I cannot forward notes, flipboard, etc via email; it is greyed out: help.

    Then make sure that the settings are correct in your email account.
    Check the outgoing mail server setting. Make sure that your username and password are in there.
    Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.

    Possibly.
    You could test that by dropping a largish image into a test Pages document and duplicating it until your document won't send.
    Some eMail clients have ceiling levels for file sizes, as do some receiving servers.
    Also test to see if you can simply export your file to pdf, in which case it will be retained on your iPad. That would be a first step.

  • Cannot send email from my iPhone or iPad. The server rejects a recepient for no apparent reason.  The recipient is not new.  This issue happens on reply or reply to all or froward; not a new email. What is happening?

    I talked with a tech today and he said I cloud is having problems which should be resolved shortly.
    In the mean time I used the .me smtp server settings which allowed me to send mail.

  • I can not send email from my iPhone or iPad its goes out from the iMac ok. I get SMTP is incorrect. any suggestions?

    Having problems sending email from my iphone and ipad. Im getting a SMTP is incorrect error. Has anyone had this problem?
    Spent 3 hours with internet carrier still not resolved. Everything is fine on the imac.

    What is the error message provided if any?
    If the email account is provided by your ISP, does your ISP have an authenticated SMTP server?
    Are you unable to send email with the account using your iPhone or iPad when connected to the same wi-fi network or internet connection as your Mac with your ISP?

  • Have an iphone 3GS, 2 email accounts.  My work email account used to work.  Now if I send any emails from this account it only appears in my sent box.  Recipients internal and external do not receive.  IT person cannot figure why occurring.  Any insight?

    Have a iphone 3GS; 2 email accounts.  one is for work.  It used to work fine until about Feb 2011.  Now when i send emails from my work account it only appears in the sent file.  Recipients do not get email.
    IT person looked at it & cannot find why this is happening.
    Any insight why this is occurring??

    This has nothing to do with your iPhone.
    If a message is in the account's Sent mailbox, this means the message was successfully sent. If a message cannot be sent for whatever reason, it will remain in the Outbox.
    What happens to a message after it was successfully sent has nothing to do with the email client or computer/device used to send the message.

  • TS3276 I can receive emails, but I cannot send emails. This just started happening. I have an iPhone and I can send emails from my phone fine. It's just not working on my Macbook. Every time I try to send an email it goes straight to my outbox. Can anyone

    I can receive emails, but I cannot send emails. This just started happening. I have an iPhone and I can send emails from my phone fine. It's just not working on my Macbook. Every time I try to send an email it goes straight to my outbox. Can anyone help?

    Thank you for heading me in the right direction.  I reset my Mail account for Outgoing Mail Server to outbound.att.net:(customer ID)@att.net (instead of smtp.att.yahoo.com, per Apple's online troubleshooting information).   I'm not sure what "(Offline)" means when it appears at the end of my Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)??  In the Advanced box I clicked on "Use custom port:  465" and checked "Use Secure Sockets Layer."  Authentication:  Password; I have correct User Name and Password put in.  After doing all this, when I try to send emails again today, they go directly to the Outbox and sit there. 
    What's curious is that my first sent email this morning did go out using the Outgoing Mail Server, smtp.att.yahoo.com: (customer ID)@att.net(Offline) but subsequent emails I tried to send with this server were rejected with the message:  "Cannot send message using the server smtp.att.yahoo.com (etc.).  The SMTP server doesn't support TLS(SSL) on port 587.  Verify your account settings and try again."  That's when I tried resetting my Outgoing Mail Server to outbound.att.net (etc.), as mentioned above, and was unsuccessful in sending out any further emails.  I guess my next step is to contact my email service provider, AT&T, and see if they can help me.  Thanks, again, for taking the time to respond and for giving me your input!  Much appreciated!

  • Can not send email from Mac, iPhone, or iPad using mail using iCloud.

    I can send email from the icloud web page but I get error messages that the icloud outgoing server is not recongized when I send email from my iphone, ipad and Mac mail.  I can receive icloud email okay on all devices.  I have manully setup a icloud server per instructions on icloud support page for mail's outgoing server name.  It still is not recongized.

    I found a work around that works.   Got to Settings...Icloud....account......advanced....outgoing mail server.....
    Add an "other" server.
    Host Name p01-smtp.mail.me.com
    Put in your me.com email address as username and your Apple ID password
    SSL is on
    Authentication is password
    Server port 587
    This worked for me.....I will use this until the bug is fixed.     Don't make this server your primary.   Leave it in "on" status in the other category.
    Good luck

  • HT4528 I cannot SEND email from my iPhone 5S. I can receive emails, but not send them

    I cannot SEND emails from my iPhone 5S

    It says
    "Unable to send email
    A copy has been placed in your Outbox.
    No Password provided
    Please go to Mail Account Settings and enter a Password"
    The problem is, I do NOT have a password for my outgoing server.

  • TS3899 I still can not send email from my ipad but iPhone works on those accounts

    I still can not send email from my .mac account or a .comcast.net from my ipad. I how 2 people so far that has brought to my attention. We have exchange accounts setup on the ipads for work. I compare the settings from iPad to iPhone from my view it appears identical. I am looking at an iPad 2 and a Mini.
    I turned on and off the ipads and nothing really changed. The emails come into those accounts.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    When you say you can't send...as in they never get the email?  Does the email appear to send?  Error message?  When?
    It may be more than one iPad that has a problem....

  • Why did I get an email from the fraud dept saying my order is on hold, told to call a number, and then told by dept it's not true?

    I placed an order to upgrade my phone yesterday, and the order went through, I was told the new phone would arrive Thursday. After I got home from work today I saw an email from Verizon that says "Dear Customer:
    Verizon Fraud Prevention Team is currently reviewing the following order on your wireless account. Please call the Verizon Fraud Prevention Team at 888-483-7200 option 3, press 1 to verify this Order."
    I called this number immediately, since I need this phone ASAP, assuming it would just be a recording and I would have to verify an account number or something. But instead, after following the instructions, I was put on hold because I needed to speak to someone in person. After several instances of my call being cut off after being on hold for at least half an hour, I finally got through after three hours and was able to speak to a fraud representative. I gave her my info and told her the problem and she told me I had called the wrong department. Instead of the fraud department, I needed the online order department. She transferred me, and I waited on hold again. When the representative from the online order dept picked up, she first told me if it was a fraud issue I'd need to speak with the fraud dept - who had JUST transferred me to her. After this, she said that my order is not on hold, because it hasn't even been processed yet or had the credit check done. When I asked if this meant I hadn't needed to call at all, she said yes. Is this actually true or is there a chance that there's an issue with my order I don't know about? If there is no issue, these emails really shouldn't be sent out, they're incredibly misleading, and I've wasted a whole lot of time and experienced an incredible amount of anxiety for no reason.

    Hi.  I checked on the order and it says the order is currently being processed and I should check back tomorrow. I'm mostly just concerned because I got an email saying the order was on hold, and I want to make sure it actually does go through and I'm not just waiting for a delivery that's not going to come. I'm still confused as to why I'd get an email saying I had to call the fraud department only to be told I shouldn't have called the fraud department.

  • Can not send email from this house

    I cannot send an email from any computer, laptop or phone (connected via wifi) from this house. However, if I take the laptop or phone to another place I can send with no problem. Oh, I can receive just fine.
    Here's the problem. I am not using Verizon's provided email. I am using one of my own, i.e. [email protected]
    Any email address (59 different accounts) that is on my server will not send from here. Now, no other Verizon user has this problem. Example: My parents have an email address from my server and it works. So does my son, as well as my brother and a few clients. None of them have a problem sending an email, and they are all Verizon customers. Yet, come to my house, use my internet and you can't send.
    I am using MS Exchange 2003 and I have been an Admin for 10 years and I know what I am doing. Before anyone asks, I set my exchange to listen for port 587 as well.
    I have called Verizon on numerous of occasions with no help. I called many IT friends and they keep saying it's Verizon. I called the Techs where my server resides and 7 of them attempted to figure this out and they too say it's Verizon. The only way I can send an email from my house is log onto my server remotely and send it from there, or use my phone's internet and send from there.
    Now, I can understand if I had a problem with every Verizon account out there, meaning if no one else using the email from my server couldn't send, but when it only happens here at my house it makes no sense.
    I have tried everything. I only had my laptop plugged directly into the modem (bypass the router) nothing. Got a new modem - same thing, still can't send.
    Oh, I can send emails with the Verizon email provided though. Just not mine own.
    Oh, I do have my own webmail setup on my server. I can log on to it via my browser and send from there just not from Outlooks, Thunderbird or any other 3rd party email.
    Any ideas or help it greatly appreciated. I've gone through this for over a month and it's driving me crazy!

    For the sake of example, we are going to pretend that we are setting up  your fictional account. Using "[email protected]" as the 3rd party address and "[email protected]" and the password for logging into that account in webmail is "fakepassword" - Again, this is a fictitious account for the sake of an example.
    The settings for using Verizon's servers would be:
    Incoming Server: incoming.mydomain.com (or whatever your 3rd party server is) - For this server you set up everything according to your domain's settings.
    Reply Address: [email protected]
    Outgoing Server: outgoing.verizon.net
    Server Requires Authentication: Yes
    Username: fakeacct
    Password: fakepassword
    Requires a Secure Connection (SSL): No
    Port: 25 (although 587 also works.)
    These settings should work unless you have a Verizon/Yahoo account, in which case the outgoing server name is: outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net
    Hope this makes a little more sense.
