Gmail Reply-to address

Just wondering if anyone could help me out here. I have just discovered that messages sent on my iPhone from my Gmail account are sent as '[email protected]'. However, I have set Gmail up in its settings so that the default 'Reply-to' address AND 'Send mail as' address is '[email protected]'. I'm with 1and1 for web hosting, but don't have a 'mailbox' - just email forwarding. I don't mind paying a little a month, but I want to use Gmail as my mailbox and can't see a way around this.
Can anyone help, or point me in the direction of a thread which can?
Thanks!
(re-posted from the wrong discussion)

Yes, I have the same issue. I cannot get gmail on iOS4 to send using the correct "reply-to" email address specified in gmail settings, and there seem to be no settings in the iphone to do it either.
I also tried setting up gmail in the iphone as an "other" account type, but that resulted in VERY strange behavior.

IMAP reply-to address?

I've been using the mail account from my ISP with mail forwarding set up from my own domain into the ISP POP account. I'm just about to change ISPs and thought I'd move to a gmail account instead of being ISP-reliant... even better (I thought!) they support IMAP making the whole process easier.
So I'm trying to use my gmail account as my main IMAP server but any emails I send to go out with my gmail reply-to address instead of my domain e-mail address... is there some way of configuring this that I'm missing?
This seems to work nicely for POP accounts, but for IMAP accounts I can't find the settings. Is it possible at all?

Noone?
So does noone use IMAP from their own domain email address? You all use the standard @googlemail.com or @gmail.com, say?
Or has this been discussed many times and is impossible to do? I can't find anything helpful anywhere online as a lot of references are clouded by talking about earlier iPhones & earlier software

Problems with Mail 3.5 reply to address

I have a Gmail account and about two years ago changed the settings on Gmail to have the Gmail reply-to address be my work email. I was using Apple Mail for my Gmail account with no problems. Then, about a year ago, I decided to keep my accounts separate so I went into Gmail settings and changed the settings so that the reply-to address would be my Gmail address.
Apple Mail continued to keep my work email as the reply-to address. I tried seemingly everything - deleting the account and reinstating it, making sure that preferences in Apple Mail didn't have my work email as the reply-to address, etc. Finally I gave up and started using Thunderbird.
The problem is that I really like Apple Mail. I think the entire program is just superior to anything else. But it still has that problem where I send an email using Gmail, and the reply-to address is my work email. I checked Gmail settings and the reply-to address is set as my Gmail address.
I am using IMAP on GMail, Apple Mail 3.5, and OS X 10.5.6
Can anyone help me with this? It is really aggravating. I have a feeling that it is a problem with the GMail server-Apple Mail communication.
I hope I don't have to create a brand new GMail account.
Thanks for any help.

Setting Reply To address on Gmail

I hope this feature already exists and I just haven't been able to figure out how to do it on my phone yet.
I need the ability to set a "reply-to" address for my email account. SMTP does not work on my office mail server, so I had to create a dummy gmail account and I use the gmail SMTP server for outgoing mail. But I can't have replies going to that email address, the "reply-to" address needs to be set to my real email address. So currently, I can't send work emails from my phone.
Subject Title edited to reflect new topic.

You can set your Reply To address in your Gmail account setup.
Login via a PC and set it.
You might be able to set it on the BlackBerry as well, but if I recall correctly, it is set on the account in Gmail.

Using gmail reply address with icloud on my iphone

How can I use icloud mail on my iphone but use my gmail reply address?

If you tap on the "From" address, a pop up list of other email names should appear and you can choose one of them. If you have the gmail account defined in the mail app, then that account should be on the list.

Wrong reply-to address sent from iPhone mail after moving to iCloud

I had this strange experience that shortly after moving to iCloud, one of my email accounts got mixed up with the reply to address.
I use both accounts:
- [email protected]
- [email protected]
When I reply to a message received in my xs4all account and send a reply (visually is in the mail the field From: [email protected]), the receiver will get a mail with reply address [email protected]
So I noticed that all replies were sent to my gmail account.
Has anyone else the same?

Try SETTINGS, ICLOUD, click ACCOUNT field and scroll down to MAIL. Click on MAIL field. Here you can click on EMAIL field and a new screen of choices for default account comes up. Choose your default account here. Go back a page and you see ALLOW SENDING FROM and a list of allowed addresses to pick. Choose all of the ones you'd like to be able to use. HOPE THAT HELPS YOU. Click DONE when you finish. Tami

Multiple Email accounts and 1 reply to address

I have 3 Email accounts setup on my Iphone one is Gmail one is .mac and the third is my Exchange IMAP email. my question is when i send an email from either my .mac account or my Exchange IMAP account and when the person replies to the message it automatically goes to my Gmail account. the email accounts are setup like this on the phone 1. Gmail 2. .mac 3 IMAP exchange. Does anyone know how to change the reply to address so when I send a message from my .mac account they reply to the .mac account and the same way for my IMAP account?
Thank you,
Jason.

I found the Other short cut and that did not solve my problem.
I also tried removing all of my email accounts from the phone except the IMAP Exchange account and I then sent myself a test message and the return address is still my Gmail email address. The Gmail email address is what is set up on my apple account so do you think that when I registered my phone through Itunes that that email address is set up for auto reply on my phone since it is my contact email address on my account?

How to create rule based on Reply-To address

Hi, I'm just switching to mac from ubuntu in my workplace.
I received two mailing lists, any mail have the same Reply-To: header for each mailing list.
It's possible to automatically move that mail to another mail folder in Thunderbird, by using rule with Reply-To: address.
I looked for that header in Apple Mail rule, but failed to find. Is there any way to move mails of mailing list automatically?

Thanks for replying.
Unfortunately, that did not work.
I'm using OS with my own language setting, Korean, and the mail program show the major headers like From: , To:, Subject:, Reply-To: and so on. I tried to use "edit header.." with the original name, Reply-To, and the Korean translation, but neither worked.
Anyway, I found other solution. gmail server could filter the messages by searching specific header name and values for the mailing list. I wiped out the rules in Apple Mail client, and add filter rule in gmail server.

What is the "reply-to address" in the email config...

Hi
Since I failed miserably to get gmail working via POP3 on my 6280 (apparently because this handset does not support SSL on POP3 (which gmail requires) only TCP/IP, although neither vodafone or nokia cust serv could tell me this), I have resorted to using the somewhat clunky workaround of forwarding my gmail to my email account given by my service provider (vodafone).
So, I have set this up to work through POP3 and it does (!). But when I reply to messages (that have been forwarded from gmail) the reply comes from the @vodafone.net address.
And now (ta-daaa) my question. There is a setting in the mial configurations on the 6280 called "Reply-to address". I was (probably optimistically) hoping that this would enable me to send messages with a different 'reply to' address than the vodafone account it is actually coming from.
Well, upshot is its not working, can anyone tell me what this setting is actually for? THe user guide is ambiguous fpor this field, simply stating "..the email address to which you want the replies to be sent".
(I knew I should have gone for the n70)

You don´t have to insert your e-mail adress in this field, if you don´t want to have the e-mail back to some other adress (that is the only purpose of this setting - just like in Outlook)

Why are the hotmail reply-to addresses incorrect?

I've setup my Exchange account for hotmail correctly as far as I can tell:
Email: fully specified address with [email protected]
Server: m.live.com
Domain: blank
Username: just my email username
Password: correct one
However, on both my phone and my daughters, the iPhone will not accept the setup and resolve the account correctly unless Ireplace the username with the entire email address. At that point, I can get mail.
The problem is that the "reply-to" address for all emails from the iPhone for this account is setup as: [email protected]@hotmail.com
Obviously people cannot use reply to any of my hotmail messages and not get an error. This is frustrating since these are my non-techie colleagues and friends.
I have been through several software updates and am using the latest OS (4.3.3). No joy.
Dave...

I have been using hotmail on iphone for a while until i finally merged all into gmail.
(means I keep two accounts but gmail polls hotmail and iphone only knows about gmail).
I have never faced such issue but maybe this is because of a slight difference in settings.
when configuring iPhone email account, use the Exchange account type.
in server I have never used "m.live.com" but rather "m.hotmail.com".
and in username field, always put my complete hotmail.com address (or live.com address).
hope this could help

Ipad: how does mail decide what the "reply to" address is?

I have a weird problem. Any mail I send from my iPad has the "wrong" reply-to address. That is, when I send email from one account, it applies a different account address in the "from" field.
Here is the problem (all addresses are fake)
I have two email accounts on my ipad: [email protected], [email protected] I specify "[email protected]" as the Default Account in Mail, Contacts, Calendars
I also have an old account ([email protected]). This account was my AppleID, etc but I want to get away from that account and move completely to gmail. Again [email protected] is NOT registered (installed? what is the term) on the iPad.
Now, I would expect that when I send email, that "[email protected]" would be the "From:" address and that this would also be the reply-to address.
Indeed, when I make a New Message, the "From:" field DOES have [email protected] I can also tap the From: field and it gives my two choices: [email protected] and [email protected] However, when it arrives at the recipient, it says "From [email protected]".
Here is the header in Thunderbird when I send a test email from iPad to [email protected] (when I receive it), the header is really strange (again, edited to obfuscate my email):
From: Joe Blow <[email protected]>
Mime-Version: 1.0 (1.0)
Reply-To: [email protected]
Date: Tue, 12 Feb 2013 13:57:10 -0600
Delivered-To: [email protected]
Message-ID: <-2305465076252779989@unknownmsgid>
Subject: test of return address
To: Joe Blow <[email protected]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
Sent from my iPad
Now this is a strange header. It is missing all kinds of fields, (such as "Received:, Retur Path, etc) but it is clear that the iPad sen the mail with incorrect From and Reply-To fields. I dont even have [email protected] as an account on the iPad.
So the question is: where did it get and how do I fix it?
Any takers?
BTW, this is with iOS 5.1 (why, because every time I try to update, it says "An error occurred".

You don´t have to insert your e-mail adress in this field, if you don´t want to have the e-mail back to some other adress (that is the only purpose of this setting - just like in Outlook)

Changing the reply to address for emails?

Is there a way to change the reply address when I send emails from the iphone. Due to the lack of exchange support I am redirecting my work emails to a gmail account and then grabbing them that way. I want people to reply to my work email when I send or reply from my iphone. Gmail has a setting to choose the reply to address but when i send an email from my phone it shows up as [email protected] and not the desired [email protected] Thanks

I had the same issue - here's the fix.
In your iPhone mail settings, select the account you want (in my case - and yours - it's the work account).
Edit the Account Information section by inserting the e-mail address you want people to reply to in the "address" box. Then keep the incoming / outgoing mail server information set to your g-mail account. Your phone will now check your g-mail but address all your responses with your desired reply-to address.
That's it...

How do I set a 'reply-to' address?

We've got a main email address that gets forwarded to several sub-accounts to each of our computers/devices. When someone replies to an email I've sent from iphone or ipad I want the message to go back to the main email address. Is there a 'reply-to address' setting that I'm just not seeing?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the quick response Matthew, that's good to know. I've got so much to learn about iOS. I don't think it applies to my current situation, however. I'll give an example:
Let's say my company email address is [email protected] (fictitious addresses for the example). There is no outgoing server from that address. From there, it gets instantly forwarded to mail accounts for all our devices, like [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], etc. When I send someone a message and they reply to that message, I'd like the reply to go automatically to [email protected] so that the reply shows up on all the devices. We respond much quicker when it works that way.
All the mail programs I've used, Outlook, Gmail, etc., have a place to put a 'reply-to' address for that specific purpose but I can't find it in iOS...
Thanks!

Displaying a Reply To Address not Other Than the Sending Address

I have my gmail set up to display, to my recipients, an address different than my gmail address. The gmail address does not appear in my emails. Although Mail allows one to specify a "Reply To:" address, the sending address is still displayed. Is there any way in Mail to achieve the described gmail behavior?

Hiya - I think I just figured out how to do this - see my post here: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10591255#10591255

IPhone/Gmail 'reply to' question

hi guys - helping someone can help me out w/ an email issue...
I have an iPhone 3G (updated to 2.1), and would like to use my personal email domain on the iPhone. For some reason I can't configure the account directly (whole other problem), so I am forwarding it to an IMAP Gmail account, and set up the @mydomain account as my reply to address in Gmail.
So, the forwarding to Gmail is all good, but when I reply from the iPhone, the sender address still appears as Gmail. Any way to change this? Am I even making any sense?
thanks a ton for the help

It's a bit laborious, but you can do it. Here's how:
1) Enable IMAP in your Gmail settings if you haven't already: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=77695
2) On your iPhone, tap Settings.
3) Tap "Mail, Contacts, Calendars".
4) Tap "Add Account..."
5) Tap Other. (Careful, do not tap Gmail.)
6) Fill out the first screen as follows:
Name: your name
Address: your personal domain email address, i.e., the one you want to appear in the "reply to" field. Do not use your gmail address here.
Password: your gmail password
Description: a useful reminder of what this account is.
7) It will say "looking up account information" and then display an IMAP configuration screen.
8) Skip down to the Incoming Mail Server section and fill it out as follows:
Host name: imap.gmail.com
User name: your full gmail address including "@gmail.com"
Password: your gmail password
9) Under Outgoing Mail Server, fill it out as follows:
Host name: smtp.gmail.com
User name: your full gmail address including "@gmail.com"
Password: your gmail password
10) Press Save.
If you followed the instructions correctly, the account will be created. If you get an error, make sure that all the fields are filled in exactly as above.
Good luck!
