How do I reply to a forwarded email using the 'To' email address in 'From'

Let me explain, as this might sound odd:
I now have what will be a rarely used email address, say [email protected], provided for me by a company I am occasionally contracted to work for. Any email sent to that address is automatically forwarded to my personal account. There will be the odd occasion that I will need to send email from that address, or reply to emails sent to that address.
The problem is, as far as I can see, I can only send email from the address I have set up my account with on Mail, say [email protected] For confidentiality reasons I'm not allowed, nor do I wish, to have recipients know this address. Though I'm self employed, the company I am occasionally contacted to, say +Bloggs LLP+, want me to appear as an employee, hence the [email protected] email address.
Using 'Reply To' is not an option, since my personal 'From' email address is still visible.
Yes, I know I can set up another POP/IMAP account in Mail, have all the [email protected] email go to that inbox, and then when I reply it will have come from [email protected], but I can't set up such an account in Mail since the emails are forwarded automatically and as such I do not have - nor do I wish to have - POP/IMAP access to the [email protected] email account.
In other software, I have been able to simply enter a 'from' email address into a 'From' field, but this doesn't seem possible with Mail.
Anybody got any ideas? I'm using Leopard, so is Mail any different on Snow Leopard?

Sorry, you can't do this in Mail, and I'd love to know which email client you say you've used that does allow this; I've never seen one yet.
If you want to use that email address and send mail from that account, you need to set it up in Mail. There is no difference in basic features between Mail in Leopard or Snow Leopard, so upgrading to Snow Leopard will not help you in any way.

HT201320 my iphone is not showing how i can reply to or forward emails

As of today, when opening up emails, I'm not able to reply, reply to all or forward.
How do I fix it?

Close out of the app, double tap the home button and completely close out of the mail app.
then do a reset, no data loss. Hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.

How is NTP reply routed when requesting router uses loopback as source address

The Cisco NTP Best Practices White Paper and DISA STIGs recommend setting the NTP source address to a loopback interface (e.g. "ntp source loopback0").
But this only seems to work if the requesting (NTP client) router is the default gateway for the NTP server.
Specifically, the NTP server will attempt to reply to the requesting router's loopback-based source address (taken from the NTP request packet). Since that address will always be non-local from the perspective of the NTP server, the NTP server will encapsulate the reply in a Layer 2 frame addressed to its default gateway. If the gateway was the source of the original NTP request, that should work. But in most other situations that gateway won't know how to reach a loopback-based address, and will discard the reply.
I have verified this in tests with routers running both 12.4 and 15.1 releases (and NTP debugging enabled). When the NTP source is a loopback address, NTP replies never reach the requesting router. With the default NTP source address (i.e. based on the exit interface) everything works fine.
Obviously, you could employ workarounds, such as static routes or injecting loopback addresses into your routing protocols. But that seems uglier than leaving NTP source addresses at their defaults.
Why is this "best practice" so commonly advocated without mention of some significant caveats regarding routing? Am I missing something?
Thanks,
Mark

Michel:
Thanks for the response. Actually, I understand what kind of routing workarounds could allow NTP to function in spite of this "best practice." But I am mystified as to why a Cisco "NTP best practice" paper (http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk869/tk769/technologies_white_paper09186a0080117070.shtml) and various security policies would call for setting a loopback address as the NTP source when that practice will often cause more problems than it solves.
The stability of a loopback address is nice when that address is used to uniquely identify the platform for a routing protocol or syslog. A loopback-based source address can also simplify ACL management, since that address won't change if an interface or link failure forces the router to send traffic from a different interface. But I keep seeing security configuration guides/policies that call for also using a loopback address as the source for two-way protocols, such as FTP and NTP. That just doesn't make sense to me when you balance the routing implications against the limited security benefits (stable device identification, simplified ACL maintenance, and obfuscation of device addresses).
I was hoping to learn that some obscure command might allow me to control which NTP exchanges use the loopback-based source address. For example, the loopback source address would work fine on outgoing NTP broadcasts (and probably in replies from NTP servers). But I would prefer that NTP client requests use a source address based on the exit interface. That way replies can be routed back to the client without cluttering up routing tables with routes to loopback addresses.
So far, it looks like I'll need to chalk this up to poor coordination between the network security and network administration communities.
Thanks again,
Mark

Reply all includes my email address as CC.

Reply all includes my email address as CC. when reply to an email from a user created mailbox but not from the main Inbox. How do you stop this?

Same here. I have three seperate mail accounts and when I reply to the emails within their respective inboxes everything is fine. But if its a message that is moved out of the inbox because a rule has been applied, then all bets are off. If I reply to one of those messages it cc's me and does not "Send from the Account of the selected mailbox.

How do I create a new icloud email address for my apple id?

Hi there
How do I create a new icloud email address for my apple id? My original email address is associated with my previous employers.
When I send email from my Macbook, it seems as if I still work there, which is a problem.
I would like to use the email address that I created for my iPad.
When I login with my appleid (for my macbook) I keep getting the old company one, not the new one.
Is there any way of resolving this? I
Thanks

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Providing you aren't trying to change you Apple iCloud email address you can make changes at My Apple ID

My macbook wont allow me to use the same hotmail address as i used on my other computers. How can I keep the same email and log into it on a macbook?

That indicates a hardware failure. Read here:

If nothing works, you most likely have a hardware failure. Make an appointment at an Apple store to confirm.

How to set up Icloud, problem with email address

Hi
I have had my Iphone 4S for a few months but never used Icloud. I'm trying to set it up but can't figure out how to change the Apple ID - my apple ID is my yahoo email address. Don't I need to use the icloud address to back up? If so, how do I change it. When I click on Icloud it says "account" and there is my [email protected] address. I set up a new Icloud mail account but it's still not showing as the default.
I admit I'm a new Apple user and the whole Icloud thing confuses me. I would like to keep my phone backed up somewhere and it seems like the Icloud would do it. Can anyone explain in baby steps exactly what I need to do?
Thank you!
Laurianne

Hey mexigrl64,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities, and great question!
The @icloud.com email address is only required if you want to use iCloud Mail & Notes. You can still use your Apple ID (in your case, the @yahoo.com address) for iCloud Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Find my iPhone, Backup, etc. In short, you can use all of these functions without creating the @icloud.com address.
From the information you provided, and if backups are your only concern, then it sounds like you are good to go! There is no need to configure your iCloud settings to reflect the @icloud.com address, as this is just another email account that others can reach you at.

How do i change an existing icloud email address?

How do you change your icloud email account?

You can't. I don't know of any email provider that lets you change your email address without actually setting up a new one.
You can setup an 'alias' which is another address that points to your original one and all email comes in and out of the same mailbox. You can then use the new alias address as your email address.

How do I delete my iCloud home email address account?

How do I delete my iCloud home email address account?

If you want to migrate your data to a new iCloud account, start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll. If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud), provide the password to turn off Find My iDevice and choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted. Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data.

Thanks Lawrence. I've spent over 3 hours on the phone/chatting to online support and none of it seemed to help as it all revolved around resetting emails etc but can't do any of it without my access to my old email. Now my phone won't take cloud because they advised to set up new apple ID and use that, but can't sign out of old one completely. Also doesn't help because my phone and laptop are set up on the old one. Thanks for the help.

How can I change my apple ID email address?

How can I change my apple ID email address?

I just did follow Varjak's instruction, but it refused. I was asked to enter my Apple ID's email address which unfortunately is the same as my Apple ID. I created two different passwords for each Apple ID n primary email address when I set up my I tune account in the first place, however.
I do remember my Apple ID password because I have used it every time I installed new apps, but I completely forgot my password for the primary email address because I've never used it at all! I have another email address which I actively use it for all my email. I want to change my primary email address which happened to be my Apple ID as well to the one I actively use.
Because of the explained problem, I can't log in to Icloud as I have been asked to verify by following the instruction sent to my primary email address.
I would really appreciate it if any one can help me solve this problem.
Thank you all.

How do I change just my iCloud email address not my apple ID?

How do I change just my iCloud email address not my apple ID?

You CANNOT change your iCloud email address once it is created and associated to you Apple Id (usually it is another email address). First time you activate iCloud on your device and turn on email setting, you are prompted to create an iCloud email account and after choosing one that is available you are CLEARLY warned that ONCE CREATED YOU iCLOUD EMAIL IT CANNOT BE CHANGED!!!
Fig.1 Warning if desired iCloud email Fig. 2. Warning about creating new iCloud
address is not available email which will be associated to you Apple Id
You have two choices: a) create an alias for that account after you sign in icloud.com using either your apple id or your new created icloud email account (that's what I did) or b) create a new Apple Id (with all the pain it involves)
I typed an incorrect iCloud email address and was linked to my Apple Id and now I have to live with this forever!?
The workaround was to create an alias, but I have the feeling that something is wrong with my Apple Id
All of us might make a petition to apple to allow us to change the 'main' icloud email address. What if I misspelled it!? How difficult can it be?
I hope this be helpful and answer your question.
P.S. In the same way... once you create your Apple Support Communities USERNAME it cannot be changed too!

HT2486 How can I send an email to all of the email addresses associated with one contact? Similarly, in regard to group lists, how do you include for distribution all email addresses associated with each contact in the group?

Often times there are multiple email addresses associated with a single contact in address book. How can I included all of these email addresses when creating an address book group?

Don't be surprised.
Apple offers free, basic Mail and Address Book apps and creates paid, more sophisticated solutions, also allowing Developers to provide more sophisticated solutions for sale in the marketplace.
When I need to repeatedly email to multiple contacts, I create a blank draft email, and use the Address Book button to list the appropriate address book group. With the Address Book window open, it's easy to click to add multiple email addresses for a single contact name. Each is added to the message email address list. Then I save that blank email to iCloud Drafts, and it retains the email addreses I've entered. Next time I need to send a message I double-click on it in Drafts to open it, and drag it to one of my other email accounts to add Subject and details, then send from the other account.
