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,

  • IMAP and deleting messages from the server

    Anyone else trying to use IMAP in the default mail app and seeing that messages deleted locally are not removed from the server?
    I found a lot of posts about this issue on older Android versions and devices, but nothing for the Bionic yet.
    And unlike for POP accounts, there is not an option in the settings to turn this on. IMAP is all about keeping messages and folders in sync between multiple clients, so this is an annoying bug.
    I have been using K-9 as a work around, but I'd rather not use two different mail programs, and don't like the look/feel of K9 as much either.

    DCZim,
      Are you using IMAP or POP?  Also, are you using a popular public IMAP service like GMail, MSN, etc. that can be "auto configured" without having to manually enter the server name?
      Per Google the IMAP bug (which has been fixed some time ago in the Android Mail app but not yet in Motorola's Blur mail app) is triggered by visiting the incoming server settings for the account.
      IMAP's entire purpose it to keep everything in sync between multiple devices/clients.  If you want to delete messages on your phone without deleting them from the server, you should use POP3 instead of IMAP and ensure you have the client configured to NOT remove messages from the server when deleted locally and to always "leave a copy of message on the server".  This is a general concept of POP3, nothing specific to the Bionic, Blur, or Android.

    Hi evan191,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  This article has some steps you can try if your messages aren't sending as iMessages:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2755
    If you still can't send or receive iMessages
    Ensure that iMessage is turned on in Settings > Messages.
    To send and receive iMessages, your device must have a valid cellular or Wi-Fi data connection.
    iPhone: Troubleshooting Cellular data
    iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    iMessage registration validates your Apple ID for use with iMessage. If you are unable to activate iMessage, follow this article.
    If an iMessage cannot be sent, it will be resent using SMS or MMS, depending on the content. You can turn this behavior on or off in Settings > Messages > Send As SMS. Carrier messaging rates may apply.
    Verify that the Apple ID or phone number is listed in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive.
    Cheers,
    - Ari

  • "...an error occurred while sending data from the iPhone" - caused by latest iPhone update today?

    I've been syncing my iPhone to my (non-apple) desktop for several months without difficulty.
    Today I accepted the latest upgrade to my iPhone software.
    Since it installed, it will not sync.
    It gives the error message "iTunes could not sync calendars to the iPhone "Steve's iPhone" because an error occurred while sending data from the iPhone."  After rebooting the desktop, the error repeats, and it's now in hour 2 of the continuing message "Syncing Steve's iPhone (Step 2 of 2) - Finishing sync"
    Has anyone else run into this Undocumented Feature of the latest upgrade?
    As bugs go, this is pretty serious for those of us who depend on syncing the iPhone and desktop for our business!
    Thanks to anyone who can help!
    Steve Callender

    Tried rebooting the phone, and now it works.
    Guess there's 2 lessons here -
    Boot again when installing new SW, even if the phone reboots itself during installation, and
    Boot to see if that fixes a problem before posting it.

  • Enter and send message from portal

    Hi
    I am able to allow user to enter rejection reasons using task TS20000139 (Enter and Send Message) when the user clicks the Reject button in SAP Gui. However when the user clicks Reject from the portal, the Enter and Send Message does not appear immediately. Instead it appears as a new task in the portal. Is there a way for the Enter and Send Message to appear immediately in the portal when the user clicks on the Reject button ?

    Hi Ronaldo,
    Also, as Jocelyn says...
    <i>Hi folks,
    Actually advance with dialog will work under some specific scenarios from the UWL.
    1. If you are launching work items using WinGUI.
    2. If you are launching work items using SAPGUI for HTML and are on a high enough release .
    In other words, it depends on the launch mechanism - not the UWL.</i>
    Try checking the launch mechanisms.

    Ram,
    the Advanced with Dialog works fine only in certain scenarios, as Jocelyn mentioned in the following thread. pl go thru' this.
    Extended Notification-Submethods and advance with dialog not supported...
    COming to your requirement, if you want to provide a box for the user to enter Rejection reason on the portal side, you can use the User decision Actiion Handlers as given in the below link. It is very simple and fast implementaion.
    I have done this recently, so if you need more details, let me know.
    But go thru' the following help.sap link on ACtion Handlers.

  • Add/Send Invitation from the iPhone

    Hi. Is there any Way to àdd an invitation (ics) to cal app from mail in the iPhone?
    In mail, I only can see the attached file (the inviation) but I can't "open it".
    Is it also possible to send someone an invitation from the iPhone?

    I am upset by this also..... I am using google calendar via CalDav... I am SEE any appointment and edit it... However ANY appointment where someone was invited, I can NOT EDIT. Nor can I add an invite someone.
    As a previous exchange server user, I know there was something where iphone recognized your NAME and that is how it would know that YOU made the apoointment and YOU can edit it. These appoinments, since they are part of chared calendars come fromt he calendar's url, not my name.
    Does anyone have or know of a workaround? Maybe you can't edit because iphone doesn't know you are the owner.. that was the issue with exchange sever. I had the same issue UNTIl i changed my name in iphone to match EXACTLY what it is on exhcnage server (including case).l Since in this case, there is no name as each calendar is fferent, I don 't know how to do this.
    If ANYONE knows what I am talking about and has some ideas to help please post to this thread.
    Thank you
    Mike

  • Re: send message from the database trigger(URGENT)

    Hi,
    I am using forms 6.0 and oracle 8.0. My question is I am calling a stored procedure in the BEFORE UPDATE TRIGGER on database. This trigger will be fired and update another table(table B) when user update any record in the forms based on different table (table A).
    I want to pass the message to the forms from the database trigger when records gets updated in the database e.g. (10 records are updated). Since I am not calling my database procedure from the forms, rather it is being called from the database trigger, How can i display message to the forms.
    Thanks all your help in advance.

    Thanks Parker for ur reply but that subprogram raise_application_error only works if there is an error in the store procedure. But in my case there is no error, I just need to pass a message saying that e.g. "12 rows updated". How can I pass this message from the database trigger to the forms application.
    Thanks

  • How can I set up imessage on iPhone to send messages from the name of number but not e-mail.

    I can set up iMessage on Macbook to send from the name of number, but can't do it on my iPhone after upgrading to 6.1

    If your iPhone and iPad are both running iOS 6, and your iPhone successfully registered it's phone number in Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, all you should have to do on your iPad is go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and sign in with the same Apple ID you are using on your phone. 
    If it is, and it still isn't working, try going to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in.

  • HT204053 I recently replaced the hard drive on my Windows 7 computer and lost all of my music content. It should be on the iCloud, however. How can I get it back to iTunes? Can I "reverse-synch" and send it FROM my iPhone TO my computer?

    I recently replaced the hard drive on my Windows 7 computer and in the process lost all my music. I think it should be on the iCoud. Can I get it back from the iCloud to my computer? Or can I "reverse-synch" FROM my iPhone TO iTunes?

    All the music you purchased from iTunes can be re-downloaded, all the music you acquired without purchasing from iTunes can be accessed using Senuti (not free). The combination of these 2 will get your music back.

  • HELP!!!! iMessages on iOS6 is sending messages from my iPhone to both my iPad, my other iPhone and other friends iPhones!  and receiving messages from friends on both iPhones and iPad.

    Why is the new iOS6 using iMessage and FaceTime and sharing messages across all iPad, both iPhones, and friends messages coming in are sent to all units?  SHARING???  How do you fix this?

    HI,
    On the iPhone and iPad you can "turn off" the Apple ID in Settings > Messages > Received At (and possibly) > Caller ID.
    iOS 6 will delete the email/Apple ID across all devices (you get a warning) but presumably Messages is either left alone on the Mac or you add the ID back in again.
    AS has been said you can then set up each device with it's own Apple ID
