Gmail alternate email address

Hey,
I have various (non-Gmail) email accounts setup in my Gmail account. One of these alternate accounts is actually the default Send As address in Gmail. When I send from Gmail web it correctly uses the specified default Send As address, and recipients see this address in the From field.
However, using the built-in Mail app on the iPhone and the iPad it only sends from the actual Gmail account, not the one specified as the default Send As account.
So I tried the actual Gmail app, and this doesn't seem to allow sending Videos as attachments (videos just don't appear as selectable items), and it doesn't appear as one of the Share options on the Share screen - only the built-in Mail app is listed.
This seems a bit silly to me - a configured app (Gmail) isn't an option on the Share screen, but an unconfigured one (built-in Mail app) is.....?
What is the best process to enable full Gmail sync (mail, contacts, calendar) and be able to send from the default send address?

Ah, sorry. I didn't notice that article was referring to the GMail app, not the native iOS Mail app. D'oh!
However, here is another article which tells you how to setup the iOS Mail app and have GMail aliases available to you:

That looks as though it should solve your issue.

  • Please help with setting up native mail app using Gmail with alternate email address

    I have an alternative email address setup such as [email protected] configured to use with my online Gmail account.  In the online account, I use the alternate email services smtp server so emails are sent correctly from that alias.
    Is there a way to setup the native mail app to use Gmail for mail, contacts, and calendar and use an alternate email address as the sender?  Right now I am syncing contacts and the calendar through the native mail app and using the Gmail mail app for my email.  It allows you to select from all of the emails setup on the Gmail account. 
    But for simplicity sake, I would like to consolidate to the native email app for all of my accounts - I also have an Exchange based work account.
    Thank you for the help.

  • Gmail Alternate Email

    Hello I set up my gmail account on Mac mail and entourage both... but there is one thing i cannot seem to do. In gmail, I have my other email addresses imported into alternate email addresses. I was wondering if there is any way to set that up in mail because i just use my gmail to send emails from my hotmail account.
    Any help would be appreciated... thank you

  • I'm trying to recover my security questions, but my alternate email address on the link does not match the one I have put in my Apple ID, on the link it is has an old one that no longer exists. Has anyone else been through this or knows how to help m

    I've been trying to remember my security questions for ages, and I can't seem to remember them. On my Apple ID I have changed my alternate email address because the previous one was deleted, but when I go on the "Password and Security" page on my Apple ID and there is a link saying "Forgot your answers? Send reset security info email to ************@*******.com" but it is giving me my old email that does not match my current one on my Apple ID and no longer exists. I have been trying for very long to recover my security questions' answers, but Apple is not coping with me.
    Has anyone been through this or knows how to help me?
    Thank you.

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.

  • How do i add a rescue email address to an already existing apple id? The only option it gives me, under the manage my apple id category, is an alternate email. I am trying to make my alternate email address my rescue email address.

    How do i add a rescue email address to an already existing apple id? The only option it gives me, under the manage my apple id category, is an alternate email. I am trying to make my alternate email address my rescue email address. I am new to this community thing.

    Note that the rescue email address is not on the "Name, ID and Email Address" page -- you need to click on "Password and Security" on the left side. Even after you do that, it may or may not be available. As noted in the following it is only available if you have 3 security questions and are not using 2-step verification: Manage your Apple ID primary, rescue, alternate, and notification email addresses

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
    If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

  • IMovie and iPhoto App Store update has alternate email address for user name. how do I fix this??

    The most recent updates to iPhoto and iMovie, that are in the App Store updates, has my alternate email address for my user name.  I can't log into the update because I don't know the password.  I have changed my user name to reflect the correct email address, but it still prompts as the alternate email address.  Any ideas as how to fix??

  • Changing the alternate email address

    My mother has the same alternate email address as my iCloud account, so I've been trying to change her alternate email address. However, when I go to manage my Apple ID on her account, there is no edit button next to her alternate email address. Also, when I go to mail settings on her iPad the iCloud account information displays my iCloud account as her email. Is there any way I can change this, as it's very annoying.
    Thanks,
    Charli

    Forgive me.  I mis-spoke.  It is the "alternate Apple ID" that I need to delete or change.  When my co-worker retired we bought him the iPad2 and in the process of setting it up for him it originally got set up using my email address because basically we didn't know what we were doing at the time.  A year later I purchased an ipad for myself using my email.  Now under my account name, etc..it shows MY apple id, my email address, and his Apple ID as the alternate Apple ID. 

  • If I have forgotten my security questions and am not given the option to send them to an alternate email address because I didn't have one set up at the time, how can I get passed this point? I'm sure I'm blocked out at this time from trying.

    I cannot remember my security questions and I am not given the option to send to an alternate email address because I didn't have one set up at the time.  How can I get past this point?

  • HT1918 How do I make one of my alternate email addresses my primary address?

    How do I make one of my alternate email addresses my primary address? Apple won't let the primary address be the same as one of the alternates and I haven't found a way to delete an alternate address.
    Thanks

    For some ridiculous reason, Apple won't let you use an existing alternate email address.
    You have to first delete the alternate email address you want to use, then edit the primary address and enter the address you want. You'll then have to re-verify the address you just deleted and when it asks you to enter your AppleID, you use the new address.
    I'm sure there used to be a 'Make primary' link next to your alternate email addresses. I guess that was too easy.

  • When i want to change the security questions they sent an email to a different email address then the alternate email addresses

    when i want to change the security questions they sent an email to a different email address then the alternate email addresses

    The reset link will send reset info to the rescue email account that you put on your account - alternate email addresses are different email addresses, they are not used for resetting questions.
    If you don't have access to your rescue email account (you won't be able to change it until you can answer your questions) then you will have to contact Support in your country (and which is therefore on your iTunes account) to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : Contact Apple for help with Apple ID account security
    If your country isn't on that page then try this form and explain and see what they reply with : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
    When they've been reset you can then change your rescue email address for potential future use (but it can't be the same as any other address on the account) : Manage your Apple ID primary, rescue, alternate, and notification email addresses
    Or if it's available in your country you could change to 2-step verification : Frequently asked questions about two-step verification for Apple ID

    I can't see why Tokyo should be a problem - rather the reverse given the Japanese commitment to technology. Can you get at http://icloud.com ?
