Hotmail Alias in mail app: Refuses to use the selected email address

Hello,
Before today I could send emails using my alias account from the iPad mail app, using my hotmail email addresses. However, from today, I select the email address I wish to use (As normal) but instead of sending it from the chosen email address, it instead sends it from my standard email address.
Thanks for your time.
Oh, and I have not changed any settings, at all.

Hello hbm2679,
I have many aliases email address, but mainly use one. I don't not send emails using my main account email address.
The way I changed it to only use the one (Alias) account was, when logged in to my hotmail account, over on the right (Next to your name), there is a gear.
Click the gear, and click "More Mail Settings".
Next, under "Managing your account", click "your email accounts".
Scroll to the bottom, and look for 'Default "From" address, and select the account/email address you want to use.
This is the only work around, I can think of at the moment. I think Apple need add more support for alias accounts.
Hope this helps,
Have Fun,

  • Is you mail app crashing when using the trash can delete??

    Is anyone having a problem with mail app. crashing after using the trash can delete. I am no longer using the trash can so I have not had another mail crash. Swipe and delete and edit and delete work ok. Only the trash can delete causes the problem.

    Alberta....I first tried the reset, which didn't work, so I had to do a full restore. Which helped has corrected the problem. I just can use the trash can delete.

  • Mail app defaults to opening the last email I opened on the iPad

    I have a new 32gb iPad.  I'm new to the tablet arena, so forgive me if the question has been answered 1,000 times.
    I configured my work email using the mail app - easy as pie (using Exchange server).  However, when I open the mail app, what displays is the last email I opened on the iPad.  it doesn't open up to my inbox with a list of email, or to my folder list - it literally opens up to the last email I opened on the machine.
    Is this intended behaviour?  If so, is it changable?  I'd really like to see my inbox without having to hit the button to bring up my inbox.

    To get a list of accounts or emails, turn the iPad to landscape orientation. List automatically appears when you do. Otherwise, it does open to the last message you were viewing when you closed it.

    I recently updated my primary email address associated with my Apple ID account.
    Now when I go to App store on my iPad it still tries to login to the App store using the old email address I had associated with the account, and naturally my password doesn't work. I can't figure out how to tell my iPad to login using the updated email address.
    So in effect I'm locked out of the app store and I currently have 26 updates waiting.
    I've tried disconnecting and reconnecting my IPad to iCloud with no luck.. However I cloud happens to show the correct/updated email address.
    Does anyone know how to resolve this?
    Thanks

    Did you change the email for the Apple ID or did you create a new Apple ID? A new Apple ID cannot be used with content that was bought using a different Apple ID.

    Do you perhaps have more than one Apple ID?  If your response is "No," are you absolutely positive?

  • I accidentally created an iCloud account using the wrong email address for my username - I already have an iCloud account with a different email address username. Is there any way I can merge these accounts?

    I just upgraded my MacBook from OS X 10.6.8 to Mountain Lion so that I could stream from my other devices (iPhone and iPad) to my MacBook.  After making it through the upgrade process, I realized that I used the wrong email address for my iCloud username when starting up on the MacBook.  My iPhone, iPad, and iTunes are under my Hotmail email address and I accidently used my Gmail email address for the MacBook.  Is there any way I can merge these two icloud accounts together? I tried changing my account information to add the other email address, but wasn't allowed because another account was using the name (duh).  If I can't merge them, how could I change the MacBook from the Gmail address to the Hotmail address so that all my devices are on the same icloud account?  It'd be nice if I could keep the free 5GB of storage that comes with my purchase of the software, but I'd rather lose the storage than not be able to stream.

    To change accounts on your Mac, go to System Preferences, sign out of the current account, then sign into the new account.  When you sign out of the current account it will delete synced data from your Mac.  Assuming your data (such as contacts, calendars, etc.) is in the other iCloud account, it will be synced to your Mac when you sign into this account.

  • HT5624 My husband and I share an Itunes account so use the same email address and password.  Our iphones are now connected and we get each other's messages and share each other's contacts.  How can we stop this happening?

    My husband and I share an Itunes account so use the same email address and password.  Our iphones are now connected and we get each other's messages and share each other's contacts.  How can we stop this happening?

    A couple of different approached:
    Create a second AppleID for one of you that includes the email address and phone number you wish to use for messaging, but do not apply it to the iTunes and app store (just keep the current one). My wife and I do this and it works quite well. Also allows for easier syncing of Contacts , notes etc. using icloud if you wish to do that.
    Add additional emails/phone numbers to the existing account and change the Send/Receive settings for Messages. this will not fix the Contcts isues for you however.

  • Please help.. me and my hubby both have the iphone 4 and use the same email address and itunes account. I got mine yesterday and activated it to find all my husbands contacts on my phone. I deleted them and he lost all his contacts. How can we stop this !

    Hy please help...
    My husband purchased  an iphone at xmas and evrything was fine until i purchased 1 yesterday . We both use the same email address which is linked to our itunes account (ithink) I registered mine yesterday and all my husbands contacts came on to my phone, so i deleted them and he lost them all on his phone :-( now if he adds or deletes anything i get it or the other way round please please help

    If you are saying that you both have iCloud accounts and use the same icloud ID, then yes, the contacts will be deleted.  The idea is that all devices using the same icloud ID are kept in sync.  You need to use different IDs.  You can keep the same iTunes ID so you can share the songs and apps.  But use different icloud IDs.

    thanks, back me old bookmarks only, thanks.

    Hi eddinchina,
    You should have no need to use the Old Sync account.
    As long as device or devices are Firefox 29 or later (They should all be Firefox 30 now) you should use the New Sync.
    You may use the same email address with both accounts.

    I have purchased music, apps, or books with multiple Apple IDs. How can I get all of this content onto my iOS device?

    First, you need to copy all of your purchased content so it is on the same Mac or PC with iTunes. This computer should be the one you sync your device with. For more information on how to move your content, see these articles:
    Mac:  iTunes for Mac: How to copy purchases between computers
    PC:  iTunes for Windows: How to copy purchases between computers
    Next, authorize your computer to play content with each Apple ID in iTunes. Once your computer is authorized for all your content, it can be synced to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

  • Can i migrate an existing (hosted) email account to iCloud and continue to use the same email address?

    Can I migrate an existing (hosted) email account to iCloud and continue to use the same email address?

    No. Although you could migrate your mail to iCloud via IMAP, iCloud does not support sending emails from your own domain - only iCloud's own @me.com and @mac.com addresses can be used.

  • HT2623 I currently have an email address with my cable company.  In order to use the "@icloud" email addresses, do I also need my cable company email address?

    I currently have an email address with my cable company.  In order to use the "@icloud" email addresses, do I also need my cable company email address?

    That's right, all you need is the actual internet connection. If you want to use the cable company email in addition it has no effect either way on iCloud, it's up to you.
    When you sign in in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud (Lion 10.7.5. minimum required, or iOS5/6) and check 'Mail' in the list, you will be asked to create an @icloud.com address, and the account will automatically be added to the Mail application and set up. You can also access your mail at http://icloud.com

    I am automating the process of sending appointment reminders to my clients. I started with an alert with an email in calendar using the clients email address as a custom entry in my me card in my contacts. this was resulting in three emails being sent with slightly different versions of the same address (see my previous post). Heating someone else's suggestion I created a workflow file to send an email and calling that file from an alert on my calendar. This is working and sends only one email to the client.
    My calendar is on I cloud and I access it from three different computers so I can keep my appointment calendar current. The files that send the email only exist on one computer. My other computers show error messages when those emails get sent. It seems that each computer wants to send the email. It's a small problem but is there a way that I could not get those alerts.
    But appreciate any thoughts about this. It seems like both problems might be related to the iCloud system.
    Thank you in advance,
    Michael

    Good work, catch so far Michael, does seem to be a "feature" of iCloud syncing, not sure what you could do to disable it.
