'From' field when sending eMail...

I'm using Mail, Version 2.1 (752/752.2).
When I send an eMail... the FROM: field always shows my name, ie - From: My Name <[email protected]>
How can I set it up to NOT display My Name?
I would much rather have it say - From: Alias <[email protected]>
Is there a way to do this?

I have Gmail set up on my G5, at home, but not this iBook I am using from my daughter's house. Gmail does not lend itself to use from more that one computer and/or email client. However, I use it, primarily to test to help others.
I think the Gmail SMTP is identifying you, and not the entry you place in Mail's preferences. When you send with the Gmail SMTP, your sent message is archived not only on your Mac's HD, but also on the Gmail server, for you to see using web access. This is different from more typical POP accounts. If you use the Cox SMTP (might require you to have at least set a POP account with them) as the Outgoing Server for the Gmail account, then I think what you place in the Mail Preferences Full Name entry will be included, and not your actual name.
However, I will have to get home to test this. You probably will have a chance to test it, before I do.

Mail is not giving from information when sending emails

Having issues when sending email to recipients, it does notgive my info. in the from section.

Nope, i can send individual emails ; however, my information(from:) is not being shown. So individuals recieve email from me without my information, and could be considered as spam.

Why can't I change my "from" name when sending email in iCloud

I can't change my name as it appears in the 'from" when sending from icloud,
Thanks,

if I try to add a calendar it won't let me change the name of it.
Not sure what you mean. Do you add a new calendar? Then you don't "change" but give it a new name. Or do you want to change an existing one. Then you're back to my first response here, if nothing else.

I just downloaded OSX maverick and now I cannot drag addresses from my contacts to the "To" box when sending emails. How can I go back to old drag groups or addresses to the box?

I just downloaded OSX Maverick and now I cannot drag addresses from my contacts to the "To" box when sending email. How can I get back to dragging groups or individual contacts to emails?

Starting to type a name and getting a list of matches is good but it's not a substitute for being able to choose twenty or thirty names from your address book and dragging them into the "To" field. Of course many contacts can be put into a group but I may want to send occasional emails to many people who don't fit any group, and there may be no need to create a group just for that email.
If you agree please send an email to apple feedback for Maverick OS X.

TS3899 When sending email from the Mail App or through other Apps, my default From: address will change when I enter a To: address. This sometimes leads me to send the email from the wrong outgoing email account. It is frustrating and poor design.

When sending email from the Mail App or through other Apps on my iPad, my default From: address will change when I enter a To: address. This sometimes leads me to send the email from the wrong outgoing email account. It is frustrating and poor design, especially since I had already checked the From: address.

3rd party email addresses have to be deleted on every synmced mac product, although I have 1and1.co.uk and my imac updatetes the mails in that account from mac mail.
Yahoo etc is a 2 step deleting process but good to get your emails pushed when on the go.

How can I get a picture to go with my email signature when sending emails from my iPad? Only a square box shows up on my signature not the actual picture I iploaded in my settings.

Only Apple Account Security could help at this point. You can try calling Apple Support in Canada - you'll have to find one of the several ways, such as Skype, to call an 800 number from outside of the relevant country - and ask for Account Security and see if they can help. Or you can find a friend who speaks Chinese and ask them to help you talk to Apple Support in China. There are really no other options that I know of.
Note, by the way, that these are user-to-user support forums. You aren't speaking with Apple when you post here.

Entourage Question: Enabling the "From" field for Send on Behalf emailing..

You know like in Outlook 2003 Pro you can enable the "From" field and send an email as someone else (so long as you have permission to so that is)? How do you enable that same field in Entourage 2004?

Dear Mr. Toad (my all-time favorite ride at Disneyland ;-) ..
Thanks so much for your detailed reply.. my netbook is in the bedroom, turned off.. I (so far) only use it in the evening, in the bedroom.. I've saved your response, and will try your suggestions, and let you know if they solve the problem I described. I really appreciate you taking the time to post such a detailed reply..
I can't answer your Thunderbird "configuration" questions, because I'm in the living room, using the crap Vista laptop, on which I plan to install Thunderbird, and then take Windoze Mail out in the street and drive over it a few times.. I'll get back to you one way or the other, and let you know if your instructions solved the problem, or not..
I don't understand why Thunderbird "out of the box", so to speak, simply doesn't forward HTML emails with embedded graphics, (like Outlook Excess, and Winblows Mail do).. without having to go through those steps. I personally HATE HTML email, but over the years, it's become more and more prevelant.. so it's a problem I must fix..
Thanks again..
Harv..

Load x# of messages when sending email from my pop account

Hi
I'm getting a "load x# of messages" when sending email from any address on my pop account. No problem receiving messages from other accounts. Is there a setting that can remedy this?
Thanks

My z10 is going back today, for multiple reasons
Contacts won't sync across
Won't work properly with my car when all previous BBs did
Lots of useful features have disappeared
But most importantly NONE of my email accounts will send mail from it when they all did previously with the Storm2.
A big thumbs down from me for the z10 even if it is a fancy looking phone and the browser is much better. I stuck with BB because I wanted a tool not a toy

How can I request a return receipt when sending email from Leopard Mail?

Has anyone found a way to request return receipts when sending email with Leopard Mail?

see this [link|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7244096&#7244096].
However,
this is only possible if the email client of the e-mail receiver supports this feature and it is turned on. if it doesn't support it or it supports it but the feature is turned off there is absolutely nothing you can do.

Exchange 2013 Issue: Outlook 2010 auto populating the From Tab when forwarding email

Exchange 2013 Issue: Outlook 2010 auto populating the From Tab when forwarding email
I am running Exchange 2013 and I have an end user who connects to it via Outlook 2010. All was going well till he went to forward an email and he noticed that the From button appeared and auto populated the sender's email address.
I have clicked the Empty Auto Complete List in Outlook's Send messages... still displayed the From tab when forwarding.
I recreated the profile in outlook... same thing.
I created the profile with outlook 2013... same thing.
There is only one user profile setup in Outlook.
(I know the from tab usually appears when you have multiple profiles setup in Outlook and/or when you configure the "From" tab.)
I opened the end user's email in Exch 2013's OWA... what was different here was when I clicked on the email and it opened, it did NOT have the Reply or Forward option... and it displayed as a "Draft" email.
Does anyone have any ideas?

So are you saying that the from button is filling the option with the original senders address (eg the person who sent the message to your user), or that it's filling in the your users address (in which case I don't understand what the issue is, since
it IS going from your user)?

IPhone connections hangs when sending email after upgrade.

After upgrading to 2.0 firmware on my first generation IPhone, the phone now regulary hangs when sending email via smtp. Even if I try to close the connection by putting it into AirPlane mode and back again it still hangs and from that point onwards doesn't check or send any new emails. If I then shut the phone down and restart it looses the email as it's not either in the sent or outbox folders. This has happened quite a few times since upgrading. Does anybody have any advice?

Found this useful tidbit by mdwelsh231 on another thread:
"I'm having this problem too. Rather than rebooting the phone, an even easier solution is to hold down the Home button for several seconds (I believe it's 8 sec) which will kill the Mail application and return you to the home screen. Restarting Mail (by tapping the Mail icon) will cause it to reconnect. I find that this resolves the connection hanging issue. However, it is still kind of a pain. I suspect a bug in the 2.0 iPhone firmware. "
Worked for me
Cheers,
C

IPhoto quits when sending email

iPhoto quits when sending email in iPhoto.

Thanks Terence,
What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
I recently upgraded to iPhoto '11,ver. 9.3.1.
I have a MacBook Pro running 10.7.4.
Previously I had no issues sending emails with iPhotos via my mail application. Now I can't email out of iPhoto or out of mail. iPhoto just quits. There are no error messages.
I have started a new iPhoto library separate from my original library. Still quits.
I have opened a new account for start-up, still quits.
Any suggustions will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ron
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
