Gmail: choosing alternate "from" address

When I use Gmail on the Web, I added another email address, so that when I send mail I can choose a "from" address other than [email protected] Is there any way to do this using Gmail on the iPhone?

In the long, long history of mankind, I got it work last week. It is quite easy to do, as long as you don't follow the setup for Gmail but rather for IMAP.
There is one quirk: if you use another address than your Gmail one for outgoing, it can take up to 24-36 hours for copies of mail you send to wind up in your own "sent mail" folder. Originally, I thought they had just disappeared, especially since if you use your Gmail address for the outgoing, they show up immediately. Then they started showing up and the delay has persisted. But if you can live with this, it works just fine. Time marches on.

  • 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.

  • Choosing "sent from" address

    Hello, in the Mail program on my computer I used to have a drop-down box that appeared in messages I composed, below the subject line, that allowed me to select either of the two .Mac e-mail addresses I have in my .Mac account.
    Recently that drop-down box has disappeared and I cannot choose to send e-mails from my secondary e-mail address.
    In order to send any e-mails from that secondary address, I have to use the web-mail program, not the Mail program resident on my computer.
    Can somebody help me get that drop-down box back in Mail? When I press "Reply" to some messages sent to the secondary address I can see the drop-down appear very briefly as Mail is loading the message data, but it disappears after the data is loaded.
    Thanks.

    The accounts pull down is generated for the list of accounts in Mail --> Preferences --> Accounts. Are both of your .Mac accounts set up there? Next, make sure under the Advanced tabs that Enable This Account is checked.

  • Use Gmail to send from your other email addresses

    hello,
    i have setup gmail account on my Q10, but i can not use it's "send from other email addresses" functionality.
    description of the situation:
    i have my own domain with configured email forwarding to gmail account. i publically use only domain email address so in fact no body knows that this really goes to google. on the other side i have configured google to send from different account, so i use SMTP of my domain. in general it looks like gmail is just my mail application and mail storage - my domain has really thin limits. it has the advantage that i really send form my domain address, receiver sees only my domain address but the mail goes through google, so i use gmail's interface which i like and also message is stored in "Sent" folder of gmail.
    the only idea which comes to me to configure similar setup on Q10 is to configure same account twice, but with different "from" address on the other account, but won't it be than i get double notification per one email?
    regards,
    mark

    Hi all,
    This can be also a general question without any connection to the Gmail service, and I formulate itt following way:
    Is the email client of the bbq10 capable for sending emails with different from email adresses?
    All the most popular email clients are capable for that, on a special way the former blackberry bold was also capable for that function!! I know, i used this function.
    I have ca 10 email adresses, which are only aliases and all email will forwarded to one mailbox. That means only once downloaded, and when i reply to or forward an email i can always choose the from adress, as i would write from a different email account.
    So whatsup dear blackberry service provider, are you one step back as also with the disappearing of the good old BIS service?
    Despite of this i like bbq10 very much
    Thanks for all kind of help

  • Setting a Custom Gmail "From" Address in iPhone Mail

    I'm trying to set a different "From" or "Reply-to" address in the iPhone Mail app when using my Gmail account. I want the messages I send out to look like I've sent it from another e-mail account and not my gmail account. I tried the way Gmail recommends: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=81375# but that doesn't seem to work. It might be a different function with the iPhone 3G/iPhone 2.0 software.
    Anyone know of a workaround?

    Jrags, you can do this by setting up your email on your iPhone not using the "Gmail" option under "Add account" but rather the "Other" option." You can then specify the "from" address you want. You then also have to enter all the settings yourself for the Gmail incoming and outgoing servers.
    While in general it works just fine, there is one quirk you should know about. When you set it up this way, and you also choose to have the copies of the messages you have sent saved on the Gmail server, it can take up to 24 hours for them to appear there. If you save the copies of your outgoing messages on your iPhone they are saved instantly.

  • IPhone4 - Gmail - Sent From Address???

    Hey Guys/Gals,
    I setup a POP email account through the Exchange option using a Gmail account on my iPhone 4. My question is this: When I send emails from my iPhone it uses my gmail account email address *****@gmail.com. I need it to show its coming from my business email address instead.
    Is there any way to set this up on the iPhone?
    I already logged into my Gmail account and selected that all emails sent should look like they are coming from my POP business address. But I can't find an option on the iPhone to change the outgoing email address.
    Let me know.... thanks!

    Ahhh....I am have the same issue and it is so annoying. There is no way I am going to send emails to my work colleagues from a personal email address!!
    I have googled this topic for quite some time, and I have not found a solution yet. I am still trying to work it out because i need to be able to send from multiple accounts. I did run accross an article talking about using the 'magic comma' to separate multiple email accounts when setting up your gmail on iphone ( http://modernerd.com/post/535350679/solved-gmail-ipad-iphone-and-multiple-from )
    This 1/2 worked for me. I was able to choose which email address to send from, but they were all the same address. Give it a try, maybe it'll work for you.

    The new but not-ready-for-prime-time autocomplete method searches for matches that contain the entered text, not just ones that begin with the string. Your options are:
    1) type in longer strings that narrow the search
    2) use an add-on to search just the beginnings:

  • TS1541 I tried importing email addresses from gmail and now my address book is locked up and will not work. Help please.

    I tried importing email addresses from gmail and now my address book is locked up and will not work. Do I need to delete my address book software and reinstall? If so, what is the proper way to do this? New to Macbook software. I have tried several things and nothing has helped. I have backed up photos, movies, etc. My addresses are on my iphone so I can sync them later right if I loose my data?
    Thanks for your time and expertise,
    T.

    You can probably resolve this by removing some Address Book preference files rather than deleting your Address Book application.
    First turn off Synchronize in Address Book Preferences if you can.
    Next restart Address Book and try to export everything to your Desktop.
    I have had a play and found my Address Book preference files. In the following ~/Library is the Library within your Home folder. Any numerals may differ on your Mac. Quit Address Book before doing anything with these.
    1 - Display details and things set in Address Book Preferences
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist
    2 - Has no data - not sure what this does
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.abd.plist
    3 - Has last sync date - may have more if I used sync
    ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.AddressBook.sync.000393735c06.plist
    4 - My contact details
    /Library/Preferences/AddressBookMe.plist
    5 - Individual addresses and groups stored as separate files within:
    ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/Metadata
    6 - All of these addresses are are also in this single database:
    ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/AddressBook-v22.abcddb
    If you wish to remove all addresses drag both 5 & 6 to your Desktop.
    If you wish to reset preferences drag 1 your Desktop.
    Removing 3 may resolve sync issues but I am unable to test this.
    If you wish to reset everything drag all except 4 to your desktop.

    I hope this helps.

  • Can we change the from address displayed in gmail

    Hi,
    I am using javamail to send mails from gmail account. I was able to change the from name in e- mail with the name
    I specified. But can I use javamail to change the from address displayed in gmail ? If its possible please tell me how.
    Urgent requirement in my project. Please help.
    Example.
    Now its displayed like this.
    specifiedName<mail id from which campaigns are sent>
    I want to change it to
    specifiedName <specified email id> [ I want to mask the original id]

    JavaMail will let you set the From address to whatever you want, but Gmail might
    not let you send a message with a From address that doesn't match the account
    you're using for sending, or it might override the From address you set to be the
    From address corresponding to the account.
    The best approach is to send the message from an account that matches the
    From address. If you can't do that, you probably need another ISP or your own
    mail server that will allow you to specify whatever you want.

  • How do I choose which email address to send a calendar invite from?

    I use iCalendar for business.  I don't want to send company calendar invites with my personal @.mac account.  Years ago I had a Bberry and could choose which email address to send it from while creating a meeting in the calendar.  Is this not possible with Apple Technology?

    Open Mail app. Click where it says mail on the upper left corner of the screen, choose preferences choose accounts tab on the top then select the account you don't want anymore and click the - button at the bottom.

  • Sending mail from address that forwards to Gmail

    Hello,
    My situation: I have multiple e-mail addresses that forward to my GMail account. I have set up the accounts such that I can reply FROM the address that the e-mail was originally addressed to when I'm on the gmail website.
    Then, I sync'd my Gmail with my iPhone. Now, my native iPhone Mail app only allows me to reply from the Gmail account that is sync'd
    Is there any way I can get the iPhone 4 Mail app to send mail from the address to which it was initially addressed (routed via Gmail, perhaps)
    Thanks

    There is an excellent but imperfect workaround for your problem here:
    http://modernerd.com/post/535350679/solved-gmail-ipad-iphone-and-multiple-from
    I have formally requested that Gmail make a change in their servers that would make this workaround much smoother. My request is here:
