Gmail app and 'send as' feature on Nokia Lumia Ico...

Hi there
I've asked Verizon this question and they don't know. They send me to Microsoft. Microsoft sends me to Nokia. Please for the love of Pete, can someone answer this question.
I used to have an Android Phone. I set up a gmail account for the express purpose of having my work emails forwarded. It worked perfectly and I could enable the 'send as' feature so it was still coming from my work email address, not my gmail. I switched recently to the Nokia Lumia Icon which is a great phone other than one annoying feature.
Despite many efforts, I cannot seem to get the gmail 'send as' feature on the gmail app to work. In fact, I haven't even ticked the box that says 'use the same user name and password for sending email' yet it still sends from my gmail - which is odd, but better than nothing.
Is this because I have multiple aliases set up on gmail? Do I need to delete all but the one I really want by going to gmail on my computer and doing it this way?
Thanks for any help you can offer.
Jeff

Not sure what 'the gmail app' is you refer to but the built in (OS) mail client has only basic support for gmail as Google basically stripped out everything that allows proper support on other platforms (read WP) such as Exchange Active Sync. That leaves you with straight IMAP support for your gmail accout for mail.
There's a whole bunch of gmail apps in the store and THIS seems to be top dog but I do not use gmail myself so I would not know. These are not apps made by either MSFT or Nokia so you should address any issues you might have with the app developer. If you have issues with a specific app it would help to know which.

    I can't get my gmail app to send alerts after doing update. I'm using iphone 5.  Any ideas?

    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
        1.    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
        2.    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
        3.    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
        4.    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
        5.    Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
        6.    Restart your mobile device.

    Hi, govindcom. It's nice to see your post here. Sharing of video via Bluetooth is currently not supported by your phone. You can only use Bluetooth for Transfer my data which can only copy contacts from almost any phone (Symbian, Android, iOS, BlackBerry, Windows Phone and others).

    You cannot send him anything until he has set up an itunes account and e-mail.

  • Gmail app and 2 step authentication issue

    Hi
    It appears that the gmail app doesn't support this. I enter my password and instead of asking for the authorisation code it just says 'login failed'. I can use the browser version fine although its pretty ugly. Does anyone know if there is planned support?

    For which phone is this?

  • Dual sim feature in Nokia Lumia?

    In near future will nokia introduce dual sim features in lumia models

    Always being a Nokia's Loyal customer. But very sad to see Nokia losing out in the market. I would suggest Nokia along with Microsoft should come up with Dual Sim support versions of Nokia Lumia. I think it will just wipe out other market competitors if not anywhere else but in India atleast.

  • Unable to send Group text from Nokia Lumia 520

    Hi Guys,
    I am unable to send Group text from lumia 520, even after enabling the Group text option in the messaging settings.
    Please help.

    I also need to send group msg to about 100 people which was possible in Symbian, but in Lumia group limit is 25 (how ridiculous!)
    Now I have made several groups of 25 & send few mgs.
    But what I don't like is, group sms are shown in different thread, so when someone replies, his thread doesn't show the group msg so I can't make out to which msg I am getting reply.
    Earlier Symbian used to send group msg as individual sms so replies used to show all sms, sent & received. Symbian system was better for me.
    Using Nokia Lumia 1320.
    Also have Nokia E72 & Nokia N8.

  • Create a file in app and send as an email attachment

    I am writing an app that involves storing data on the host phone.  I would like for the user to be able to get the data off the phone and one of the ways I was investigating was creating a csv file and then sending it in an email.
    Is it possible to do this from within actionscript mobile?

    I haven't been able to find a solution to this so I am either going to incorporate my data into the body of an email or look at an http post solution...

  • GMail, IMAP and sending messages from the iPhone

    I have recently switched from POP to IMAP. My ISP doesn't support IMAP, and so I get GMail to pop my ISP, and then download the messages from GMail with IMAP. Within GMail I have set things so that by default I can send a message through my GMail account using +my normal ISP's email address+; recipients are therefore unaware of my use of GMail - which is how I want it.
    BUT ... messages sent from the iPhone show up as having been sent from my GMail address. Is there any way that I can change this, so they appear to have come from my normal address? I don't want to set up a second a/c on the iPhone, as I want all of the messages to stay within the GMail IMAP system.
    GMail's web based >> >Settings >Accounts >Send mail as: >> facility does not seem to appear within the iPhone.
    Or am I missing something?
    Any assistance gratefully received

    Many thanks for your reply - and I think that I understand what you are saying; however the GMail system does allow me to send a message using another "reply to" address so long as I have authenticated that email address within GMail first. I've been through that process, and I can send a message which appears to be from my normal ISP's address but in reality is sent through GMail (what some might refer to as using a spoofed address?) - but I can't do this from my iPhone.
    If the restriction is insurmountable for the iPhone, I'll just have to revert to POP instead of IMAP, as I can then separate my normal address and my GMail address - it's just that a combined IMAP system would have been a more elegant solution ...
    Kind Regards,

  • I have loaded the latest and greatest version of the gmail app and I want it to quit pushing my mail. I do not want my notifications of endless junk mail filling my phone and costing me huge data charges. Does anyone know how to fix this issue?

    This app was great, now it is simply not very flexible.

    Hi, Dave.
    If you're using the BlackBerry browser, you can't configure anything to bypass the RIM servers.  I believe you may do so by using the Opera browser, but I haven't tried it myself so cannot comment with authority.
    I hope that clears up the issue for you.

  • Calling VC iView from ext. app. and send parameters back

    Hi,
    My problem is the following: I have several NON-SAP web-applications which should be able to call a VC iView which has the functionality of searching Business Partners in SAP CRM. After I select one of the found BPs, the selected BP should be passed back to the calling application. Is there a solution how I can realize that with Visual Composer?
    Thanks a lot in advance.
    Timo

    The only chance that I see is by passing values from VC to your external application, if your external application can use URL-parameters. You could run the ext. application in an HTML View control inside a VC application and pass data this way.
    How to send data from your external application to VC, I don't know. I can only give you a solution by using Portal eventing.

  • Apps are not opening in my Nokia Lumia 530!!

    Many apps are not opening in my Lumia 530. For example, when I click on hike messenger it shows hike starting image and then the screen got black. After 2 or 3 seconds the home page of my phone opens. What should I do? Please help.
    Don't suggest me to reset my phone. I can't do it in any condition.

    Good day, sagarji. Welcome to the Nokia Support Discussions! Are there any applications installed on your Lumia 530 before this issue came up? Does this happen to all applications whether downloaded on preinstalled ones? Before the apps crashes or kicks you out, does the phone show any error message?
    Try rebooting your phone by pressing and holding the power button for 10 seconds until it restarts. This won't delete anything in your device, but you may need to re-set up the phone's date and time settings. 
    Let us know how it will go. Welcome to the Nokia Support Discussions!
