  • My imessage texts are being sent from my email address and not my phone number.

    How do I change so imessages are sent from my phone number again and not my email?

    To identify your iMessages as coming from your phone number go to Settings>Messages>Receive At>Caller ID and select your phone number rather than your email address.  Also, the email can't be removed because this is the email address linked to the Apple ID you are using for iMessage.  If you really want to remove it you have to go to Settings>Messages>Receive At, tap the Apple ID at the top and sign out.

    No that was not it. I was signed into my iMessages under my email address as soon as I signed out others can now receive my texts under my number. Thanks for the help though

  • Outgoing emails are not being sent from my email address all of a sudden. It started happening when I changed my gmail password

    After I changed my gmail password my outgoing emails are no longer being sent from my gmail account, but are being sent from my spouse's account so that replies go into her inbox, not mine.

    You may have a corrupt preference, in order to correct this open Mail - Preferences - Accounts and re-input all the preferences for the account. While they may look ok one or more may be corrupt.

  • Imessages are being sent from my email instead of my phone

    When I send iMessages from my iPhone 5S or my Macbook Pro, the recipients say they're coming from my email address and not my phone. How do I rectify this so the messages all come from the iMessage and not email?

    If you have no intention of using iMessage, but have used it in the past, you will have to deregister your number. Then you will have to make sure you have a texting plan on your account. If others have messaged you with iMessage, they will have to remove your contact and any messages from their devices so you are no longer registered on their devices as using iMessage. See this link from Apple. https://selfsolve.apple.com/deregister-imessage

  • HT4519 Default email is set but emails are being sent from another account

    I have set up my email accounts on my iPad and set the default email as my home email. I have just noticed that all emails sent from my iPad are being sent from a different account.  What am I missing?

    Edit the address book entry to uncheck use display names. If you want to disable it completely Tools menu (Alt+T) > options > advanced >reading and Display and turn off the use of display names.
    You never had this issue with Outlook.... The question is what did the recipient see, not what did you see. If they did not use Outlook there is a good chance they saw what was in their address book. You can address your mail as sent by "Very Important person from Very Profitable Company" If I add you to my address book as "The Goblin" I see "The Goblin" This is because Thunderbird places control in the hands of the user. Outlook does not. Note the Multiple ways to view a message body on the view menu.
    I get your frustration, but your no longer using Outlook. Outlook is an excellent exchange client. I find it actually does email badly.

  • I had to reset my phone and now my messages are being sent as my email and I cannot click on my phone number

    Please help! I had to reset my phone today and after I realized my iMessages were being sent from my email.. When I go to change it it does not let me even select my phone number.. Only my email can be checked and unchecked. I have tried everything including talking to costumer support and cannot find anything that has worked! Someone please help!!

    Are you going to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive>Start New Conversations From? If so, then try
    - Turning iMessage off and then back on
    - Signing out of Messages and then signing back in again - click on the Apple ID and then Sign Out, then sign your Apple ID back in again

  • Search for emails sent from specific email address

    We have an iSeries that has 3rd party software on it that we send invoices, notices, etc. to customers. We always use the same from email address, [email protected], and I'm wondering if there is a way to look in Exchange to see all of the emails sent out
    through that email address? I have the mailbox added to my Outlook, but if I look in the Sent Items, its just blank. Is there something in Exchange that allows me to view all messages sent from this email address, even though it was sent from another server?
    Thanks.

    This will help:

  • My iMessages are being sent from my gmail and not my phone

    I recently had to deal with major software corruption on my phone and ended up having to completely wipe out my phone and start over by manually downloading all my apps and restoring from iCloud. People who are texting me with iMessage are saying my texts are coming from my gmail account instead of my phone. Sometimes it switches and some people say they have 2 different conversations going on with me, one from my phone and one from my gmail account. I don't want this to happen! Sometimes my texts are popping up on my iPad and I also don't want this to happen because my iPad is a work iPad and I don't want my personal texts appearing on my work iPad. I'm thinking that somehow the 2 have become linked since wiping out my phone and I'd like that to stop happening. I also want to figure out why my texts are sometimes being sent from my phone and sometimes from gmail. Any help?

    Hi there,
    I would recommend taking a look at the article below and making sure that your phone number is selected under the "Start new messages from:" section. This wont change any of the conversations that have already been started from you email address, but it will ensure that new conversations are coming from you phone number.

  • Text message is showing sent from my email address instead of phone number

    I just reset all my settings on my Iphone 4s and now when I send text messages my friends say it is coming from my email address not my phone number. Why is that? Any advice on how to get it back to normal (from my number not email?)
    Thanks in advance!!!

    I assume your phone is using your phone number. Select an E-Mail also. Under the Select Area a new Area should show up offering to choose whether to use the number or the E-Mail to start new conversations. Pick the Phone number. Go to iMessage and start new conversations.
