Gmail: 'Send Mail As' IMAP, SMTP problems

Hello,
Here's the background:
I have a work email address that's automatically forwarded to my gmail account. I have it setup through Gmail to use my works outgoing SMTP server so whenever I send an email through my Gmail account it appears to be coming from my work account. It works fine.
It does not work on the Iphone. I have tried setting up Gmail through exchange, through the normal Gmail setup and inputting manually through the IMAP setup. In all 3 occasions my Gmail email address appears on outbound email and not my work email.
My last effort was to input a new IMAP account into the Iphone using my works email address, Gmails incoming IMAP server and my works outgoing SMTP server. All with SSL and different usernames/passwords.
Theoretically it should've worked. And it did, sort of.
I was able to download the Inbox from Gmail with no problems. And, I was able to send email with the above configuration but the emails just vanished. The never reached their intended destination.
My works email is setup using Godaddy's server smtpout.secureserver.net. All usernames, passwords, ports etc... are correctly entered.
Any suggestions?

thnx for replying but the problem is that it does not show the emailadress that i chose to send from. When i click on the full name in "Sent Mail" it shows my primary email.
I want to see the emailadress i chose so i can check if I emailed with the correct address.
Lets say my primary email is: [email protected] and my secondary [email protected]
When i use [email protected] to send from it wont show this address in "Sent", it shows "From: My name" when i click on my name it shows [email protected] and not [email protected]
It did send it from [email protected] tho because when i log-in in webmail with [email protected] i see the email in "Sent Mail". And the inbox i sent the email to does see the emailadress i chose and the full name i use in Mail.app.
Idk if its possible to change this?
else i just have to stay using webmail if i want to use an other email to mail from.

  • TS3276 I just upgraded to 10.8.2 and Mail is having a problem. It won't remember my password for getting mail; but it does remember the password for sending mail, i.e., smtp. Does anyone know of a fix?

    I just upgraded to 10.8.2 and Mail is having a problem. It won't remember my password for getting mail; but it does remember the password for sending mail, i.e., smtp. Does anyone know of a fix?

    The solution surprised even me, and we've been using Macs since 1984 (still have an original 128K).
    I contacted Apple support, and because we had just upgraded yesterday, clicked on the "exception" button as opposed to paying the $19.99 one-time support fee. An Apple tech called and the problem was solved in two minutes.
    Somehow during the installation of OS 10.8.2 (over 10.6.x) the key chain data for my email ISP login password got corrupted. The solution was to delete both the POP mail and SMTP entries in my keychain.
    Back to Mail, it asked for the POP password, I entered it and bingo, mail got busy downloading. Interestingly, the password was also entered into the SMTP panel.
    So, that's it. Thanks for you response, Mr. Hoffman, and regards.

  • Can't Send Mail Via HughesNet SMTP Server

    After installing 10.5 I find that I can receive mail from my ISP (HughesNet) but I can't send mail through the smtp server. I've tried every setting possible and even duplicated the settings off my wife's 10.4.10 iMac and I still can't send mail. All I see is that the smtp service is "Offline."
    Fortunately, I have a .Mac account so I can send mail using that smtp server. But I'd like to be abel to use my HughesNet server.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    My mom uses RoadRunner by Time Warner. She was able to receive email using Leopard and Mail but not send. SMTP server was the big problem like everyone else here experienced. We finally were able to get it to work using many ideas here. What we did:
    1) Delete com.apple.mail.plist from the User/Library/Preferences folder (BACK UP YOUR EMAIL FIRST)
    2) Open Mail and create a new account but disable the automatic set-up feature, put your info in manually.
    3) Uncheck " Use only this server" from the outgoing mail
    4) Under the Advanced tab on Mail Prefs "port set to 25", Uncheck "SSL" box, and uncheck "Use Authentication"
    5) Now hit Create
    It took Mail about 20 minutes to contact the SMTP server, but it did and now I can send and receive Mail without any problems on her computer.
    Bad Apple...stop criticizing MS and Vista when your own house is not in order yet. Hope this helps someone out there.....

  • Can't send mail in IMAP accounts after installing Mavericks. Incoming messages OK.

    I'm unable to send mail in IMAP accounts after installing Mavericks.  Incoming is OK. Any suggestions on how to resolve, please?

    I'm afraid that I have the very same problem. How did Apple not see this. Surly email is a major part of any opperating system and should have being more than double checked before releasing. I understand software glitches but this is a major pain in the backside. I'm totally stuck and can't use my macbook pro

  • Write error. [Error sending mail message to SMTP server. Return code: [].]:

    Hi ,
    I am getting the below error when scheduling a report which is larger in size in excel format.
    write error. [Error sending mail message to SMTP server. Return code: [].]: [CrystalEnterprise.Smtp]  
    The same error does not come up when sending the same report in XLS format using outlook.
    Can some one confirm if this error is because of the size of the report as I see a different error in XIR2 incase the size the exceeds the email server limit.
    ~Neethi

    Hi,
    this could be
    Maybe you have different limits for service smtp account (which the BO Server should use) and User smtp accounts.
    Thats why you can sent it via outlook and not from the BO Server.

    Hi,
    The below error messgage i am getting while scheduling report in CMC. My report getting refreshed successfully but while posting refreshed file(Excel) it is not posting and throwing below error.
    Error Message:
    write error. [CrystalEnterprise.Smtp]: [Error sending mail message to SMTP server. Return code: [].]
    please provide some help on this.
    Thanks

    Hi Vivek
    Mails to the destinations are delievered by SMTP server. Size of the file in the mail depends on the SMTP server.
    For example, If SMTP server does not permit file size more than 2MB then that file won't be delievered.
    For testing purpose copy the instance generated in Filestore to your local drive and send this instance using your mail client to
    desired destination.
    You can try sending large size file from your mail client to test SMTP server capacity of sending large size file.

  • Unable to send mail via Secure SMTP

    Our email system allows users access to their accounts via secure IMAP and SMTP.
    I am able to connect and view my inbox via secure IMAP, using a number of different S60 devices - namely E72, E52 and 5800.
    However I am unable to connect to send via secure SMTP.
    By contrast, I am able to view and send mail with Apple and Android devices without any problems.
    On my comparable UAT configuration the S60 devices do not have this problem.
    On UAT, we use a self-signed certificate, as opposed to the Live system which uses a Verisign certificate.
    Help, please!
    I'd like to be able to send mail with my S60 devices.
    How can I resolve this apparent problem with the certificate?
    Echo

    An Update of sorts.
    On my E72 I removed all references to Verisign under: Ctrl. panel -> Settings -> General -> Security -> Certificate management -> Authority certificates. (There were about 6 entries)
    I tried to connect afresh, but the phone took two attempts to pick up my password for email.
    I now have a 'Trusted site certificate' for the email server.
    However, I still can't send.  A message pops up 'Unable to send message: <target address>'

  • Setting up a mail server IMAP + SMTP with an external DNS

    Hi guys,
    I'm not sure if i will be 100% clear in this message because i've got a slight pain in the head because i've been trying to get a mail server running in Tiger Server the entire evening.
    So here's my problem: The server i'm administrating needs to gain a mail server. For the first time in my life i have to set one up and i'm not to happy about it. I've tried to follow everything in the manual but it isn't working at all.
    This is my server situation: Domain registered by a friend points to DNS server of my ISP which creates all the Entries which all point to my server in the datacenter. On that server i need to get an IMAP + SMTP server running.
    I've tried everything and I even got the IMAP part working at one time (people could send emails to a temp. account on the server) but after altering the setting so i could send email everything went wrong. No receiving or sending.
    Please help me out!
    Thanks in advance and please don't tell me to read the manual because i have and it isn't working.
    greetings Abram

  • Can't send mail with IMAP

    Hi,
    I have two different IMAP accounts, and I can't send mail with either of them. I receive it just fine, but can't send. One of them just switched to ESMTP (I'm not entirely sure what that means), and said that many mail programs are not yet compatible with it. I know that both accounts can send, as I can send from them on the web.
    I have tried switching from port 25 to port 587, with no luck. Regardless of what I do, the program displays a window saying, "Sending the message content to the server failed." I haven't been able to send for a little over a week now. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Tonight I have been suddenly unable to send e-mail from my mac.com address.
    The problem is the same whether I try to send from my G4 laptop running OS 10.4, or my eMac running OS 10.3.9 , or from .mac web mail.
    The alert I am receiving says: "The sender address [email protected] was rejected by the server."
    I am using the SMTP outgoing mail server, not POP.
    I can still receive e-mail with no difficulty.
    I have changed no settings.
    What's up?

    I dont get any error's on my iphone that the smtp password is wrong or the server is down etc. And on exchange i can see that the mail has been send.
    This indicates the mail was successfully sent by the SMTP server. If a message cannot be sent for whatever the reason, it will remain in the Outbox mailbox usually with an error message provided. A message moved to the account's Sent mailbox indicates the message was successfully sent by the SMTP server.
    A successfully sent message does not guarantee the message will be accepted by the recipient's incoming mail server. Usually when a message is not accepted by the recipient's incoming mail server, a return email error message from the server is usually provided - but not always. Not with the high level of spam being circulated by low-life spammers.
    Ask a recipient that is not receiving your messages sent by the iPhone's Mail client to check with their email account provider. You should be able to provide the recipient the long message headers for a sent message that was not received by the recipient.

  • Can't send mails (POP account/SMTP)

    Okay, this issue has been posted before, but none of the difficulties or possible solutions described seemed to match my problem, which is:
    When I click the "send" button in Mail, it simply does *nothing at all*. It doesn't even seem to try to do anything, let alone give me an error message.
    I used to have an iBook with OS X 10.2, and Mail has always worked perfectly fine on that system. Now I just bought a new iBook with Tiger installed. I first updated to 10.4.6, then transferred all my data, including my mail settings and mailboxes, to the new computer, with the result that I can receive mail, but I can't send e-mails. I tried deleting my account and creating a new one, but that didn't change anything. I can send e-mails through my provider's webmail system, so the SMTP server isn't broken down; anyway, my husband is using the same server, and he can send mails, so I guess it's somehow an issue with my computer and not with the provider. My account settings are definitely correct. I can "ping" the mail server. I tried deactivating my firewall, but that wasn't the solution either.
    What else could I try? My outgoing mail server is an ordinary port 25 password-protected SMTP server. I strongly suspect that the problem is with 10.4.6, but I'm not exactly keen on the hassle of downgrading my system back to 10.4.5 or whatever... Or is there an easy way to do that?
    Any other ideas? I'd be really grateful. Not being able to send mails *****.

    Hi Johanna,
    Have you tried the Activity Viewer? (Window > Activity Viewer in the menu.) Try sending an email, and see if any error message appears in the Activity Viewer window after you click "Send".

  • Sending mail with new SMTP server

    I recently switched from a tel.internet provider to COMCAST cable.
    I want to use my MAIL program, but each time I try to send mail, a box appears on my screen showing my old provider. I then have to click and the mail goes out.
    I have reset my COMCAST settings properly. COMCAST says it is a Apple computer setting problem. What steps do I have to take to get my MAIL to work properly?

    Thank you VERY much for your reply.
    The message that appears when I send something is:
    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    MESSAGE delivery failed.
    The sender address [email protected] was rejected by the server.
    The server response was: 5.1.0 Authentication required.
    You can try to send using a different server. All messages will use this server until you quit or change your network settings.
    Send message using: smtp.gis net
    smtp.mac.com
    Edit Message Use Selected Served Try Again Later
    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    Later today I will try to follow the procedure you suggested and post a reply.
    F.Y.I., I previously changed the settings needed by my previous server to ones required by Comcast.

  • CANNOT SEND MAIL FROM .MAC SMTP ACCOUNT

    Hello everyone--
    I can receive mail from my .mac account and have done extensive troubleshooting including:
    1. Changing ports from 25 to 587
    2. Deleting and re-installing mailbox
    3. Reading a hosts of topics
    4. I have the serving settings with SSL unchecked
    ...but this still giving me the same trouble. I cannot send out because my email address keeps getting rejected.
    Any suggestions? Thanks!

    Are you also accessing an email account and SMTP server in Mail that is provided by your ISP used for connecting to the internet?
    If so, can you send mail with this account and SMTP server?
    If the answer is yes to both questions, select/use your ISP's SMTP server to send mail with your .Mac account which is invisible to all recipients.
    Most, if not all ISPs now block the use of SMTP servers outside of their network on Port 25. Some ISPs allow the use of an authenticated SMTP server only (such as the .Mac SMTP server) that is outside of their network on Port 25 but some block its use regardless.
    Changing the Port for the SMTP server that is outside of the ISP's network from 25 to 587 usually resolves it but sometimes not depending on the ISP's restriction.
    Have you contacted your ISP regarding their restrictions and/or requirements when using an SMTP server that is outside of their network or not provided by them?
    Using your ISP's SMTP server to send mail with your .Mac account should work and it may be required regardless.
