How can I send from multiple email aliases & names?

Hi, I wish to achieve the same result as the OP at http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=112689 and by following the useful guides in that thread, am able to achieve what I want... sort of.
Basically, I have one POP account/mailbox, and only one.
However, I use 3 email aliases for different work purposes, e.g.:
Fred Blogs <[email protected]>
Dr F Blogs <[email protected]>
The Surgery <[email protected]>
Now, according to the advice, in Mail I can create one Mailbox, and under 'email address' in Mailbox Preferences, enter:
[email protected], [email protected], [email protected]
This works fine as far as it goes, and I get a drop down when creating new mail, however, all 3 'aliases' come from the same person's 'Name' - the 1 name I entered in the mailbox preferences in Mail.
No, what I need to achieve is to be able to send email from the 3 different names as well as email addresses, not just 3 different email addresses all with the same name.
This was a doddle under Outlook, you just create 3 accounts with the same SMTP server, but set 2 of them not to receive email (otherwise you'd end up with 3 lots of each incoming email from that 1 shared mailbox).
Mail however is not having any of it, and won't let me create duplicate accounts. I have even tried adding the full name in the email address field of settings, separated by commas: Fred Blogs <[email protected]>, Dr F Blogs <[email protected]>, The Surgery <[email protected]>. That didn't work either.
How can I achieve what used to be quite a simple process on my PC? I can't be the only person who uses one unified mailbox account, but sends from different aliases?
Thanks.

Thanks, but the issue occurs when I am trying to set up the 2nd account and get to the Incoming Mail Server Page.
Because I am using the same Incoming Mail Server and User Name as the 1st account, when I click Continue it reports:
/!\ The account "Account 1" already has this hostname and username.
It then won't let me continue. Now it sounds like you have the same setup, so do you have the same hostname and username in all your multiple accounts? :-S
The reason it does this is - I suspect - because even if you untick 'Include when automatically checking for new mail', when you manually check for new mail, you'd still get 3 lots of the same message. How do you get around this?

    How can I send pictures or email from my desktop to a cell phone?
    I use Gmail for my emails.

    By sharing playlists you mean sending the list of song titles along with the songs themselves you can't.  That would violate Apple's contracts with the studios regarding sharing music, videos, books, etc.  Which is strictly forbidden. With the single exception that I am aware of which is Home Sharing.
    If you just want to share the list of song titles you could take a screen shot and email that.  Hold down the home button and press and release the power button.  The image is then stored in your camera roll.

    You need a third party app. You can't create contacts groups in the built in mail app. Look at...

  • HT201320 How can I switch from one email user to another?

    How can I switch from one email account to another?

    You have to select between the two accounts in the mail app.
    Say for instance that you are reading an email in your XYZ email account. Tap the button in the upper left corner of the mail app to back out all the way to where you can see all of the email accounts.... Tap InBox, then tap XYZ email Account and that will take you back to the main MailBoxes window.
    Is that what you want to know? There is no way to simply "toggle" between the two accounts.

    How can I send iPhoto pictures using e mail to BCCs?

    Do you have Mail open before you select any photos to email? If you do, and the BCC field doesn't show, you can make it appear by selecting the View>Bcc Address Field option in Mail. Then just enter the recipients in that field, add any message you like in the Body of the email and click 'Send'.

  • How can I send from a disposable email address?

    I use Abine to protect my identity, and I often create disposable email addresses for websites to contact me. Occasionally I want to send an email to a company or individual but I don't want them to have my real email address (think Craigslist). But when I write an email, I'm only able to send From the "registered" email accounts in TB. Is there a way to change the "From:" to a disposable address? I have tried numerous times to create an account using a disposable address but I'm never able to succeed. Interestingly, I used to be able to do this many many TB versions ago, I don't know which one, but now I can't.
    Can anyone tell me how to accomplish this? This is an important privacy concern and I'm surprised Mozilla hasn't considered this.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    I should have mentioned that I'm using TB 31.0 on a MAC running 10.9.4.

  • How can I Send song by email from ipad ?

    I mean from songs already existed in my Music.

    You can't. You can Gift a song in iTunes if you pay for it, but you can't send an existing song via email. If you could, people would be sharing purchased music all the time.

  • How can I send a group email to ensure privicy for recipients?

    I am trying to send a group email to all my address contacts that does not show any other of the group contact information on the email. Can anyone tell me how to do this effectivly. I receive loads of emails each day from corporate groups that do this to me so I see who else they sent the mail to but I don't know hoe to do it to my contacts. Help please....

    There is a potential security flaw in the BCC feature.
    According to the conventions of the SMTP protocol, all addresses, including BCC addresses, are included in every email as it is sent over the Internet. The BCC addresses are stripped off blind copy email only at the destination email server. Therefore, if the addressee controls their email server or can access it, they could examine the BCC addresses on every email they receive.
    Very occasionally, an email server will be misconfigured and not strip off the BCC list on email it sends to its local users, revealing the complete blind copy address field to users that receive the email at that domain. Therefore, BCC is very good but not perfect at keeping addresses confidential, and should not be relied on for the most critical and sensitive of communications.

  • Can i send to multiple email addresses for the same contact

    I coach a baseball team and I want to create contacts under the kids' names with email addresses for both parents listed.  Can I send email to multiple email addresses listed inside the same contact?  I hope this makes sense.
    Thanks!

    You can do it individually, but it can also be done with Groups in Contacts, but you will need to create two or more groups. Once you have created the Groups in Contacts, drag the contacts that have multiple email addresses into each group. Then, select Edit Distribution List… from the Edit menu in Contacts.
    For each group, select one address or the other for each contact. Do the same for the other group.
    When you address an email, add both Groups to the address field in Mail.

  • Sending from multiple email addresses.

    I have multiple gmail addresses:
    sue.OBM AT gmail.com
    sue.realestate AT gmail.com
    sue.dogwalker AT gmail.com
    (ps above emails are actually made up)
    I'm using the Apple mail client that comes with my iMac and when I send an email it keeps using only one of the servers above. 
    Even when I change the "sent from" address to sue.OBM AT gmail.com  it sends from sue.dogwalker AT gmail.com.
    And of course the person receiving it sees its from a dog walker so they either trash it as junk because they don't recognize it or they find out their business manager is a dog walker. I don't want that.
    When I open up the server list it just says Gmail: and lists all of the addresses I have, they are not listed individually like my icloud addresses are. So I can't pick a specific server to send from and it's always going from one I don't want.  I want to be able to pick and choose which server to send from depending on whom I'm sending to.
    Are there some Mac/Gmail experts out there? Is there some way for me to fix this? It's getting embarrassing! I did post to a Google forum and they said I need to set it up correctly in my mail client. But when I add a gmail address it doesn't specifically ask for a server.  (and I don't exactly know what I'd put if it did)
    Thanks a bunch, Happy Turkey Day!

    PS I had to change the pretend email address above as Apple wouldn't allow me to put an email address in this post.

    Could you confirm what you mean by true alias? I'm not familiar with that you mean. Currently (to recap) i have multiple accounts linked to my gmail account (all gmail accounts) and i have it set up so i can pick the email address i want to use to send an email online in gmail. After setting up IMAP (not POP) i put in "[email protected], [email protected]" in the account settings which gives me the drop down box and allows me to select which email address i want to sent messages from within mail.app. Now i've sent multiple messages to friends to test this, and here are my results. When responding to an email if i select either of the drop down options it will send from that selected address. When composing an e-mail, even if i pick the options, it will default to my first e-mail address.
    It just won't let me pick the one i want to send from when i'm composing a new message, but it will let me choose when i reply to an email. sort of a strange occurrence. I know there is an option under "compose" in the preferences that let me choose the DEFAULT e-mail, but i'm assuming that just picks the first e-mail to show up in the drop down. I'm just not sure why it only works when replying, not replying AND composing.

  • I can receive all email but can't send from certain email accounts

    Hi,
    I am having email problems. I have several email accounts. I receive email on all of them, but can't send on all of them. Not even a reply. The email accounts that work are gmail and att.net
    The accounts that don't send are:
    1 account hosted by GoDaddy, and a few accounts on my 2 domains jackskalon.com and bigjackmagic.com
    all of these accounts work fine on my laptop via outlook 2007. The place that houses my 2 domains said they don't know why I am having this problem. Apparently I am the only one?!?!
    Thanks

    Now that you mention it, I do have that problem when travelling with my laptop and iphone.
    As far as SMTP. I am not very knowlegable about how this all works. When I set up the email accounts accounts on the iphone, the message came back "Verified" as I finished configuring the accounts. Email on My laptop works fine at home, the iphone doesn't. On the road, iphone and laptop have the same problem.
    I apologize if I am missing the point of what you are asking me.
    It's frustrating.
    Thanks for the replies!

  • How can I set up multiple email accounts in one folder in Thunderbird?

    Hello; first time poster here.
    I own a business that has several email accounts. I am trying to create a folder (titled my business name), then set up all of the email accounts for my business so they all are in that one folder. I have tried for two days to figure this out and can't seem to do it.
    I have been using Outlook, but it has too many whistles and bells and is way to slow, so I thought I'd give TB a try.
    Can anyone explain IF this is possible, and if so, how can I do it?
    Thanks in advance for any and all assistance.
