IPhone 3G iOS4: Sending mails from an external address

Hi!
Did anyone know if it is possible to send mails from an external address with the iPhone using MobileMe?
This was for me the most important feature Apple introduced with the last MobileMe update and it is working fine online and with Mail.app. But it seems not to work with the iPhone.
You can choose from your aliases when you write a mail but not the external address.
Is it not working with older iPhones or is it not working in general? In general would be a major drawback!
Regards, Stefan

You need to go to mail settings, open any account, then tap on SMTP. The gmail outgoing server is probably still in the server list, so delete it.
Also, you need to reboot after any email account changes. Hold HOME and SLEEP until an Apple logo appears.

Sending mail from alternate email address

So i set up a dummy Yahoo mail acct that my corporate email is forwarded to. I changed the settings on yahoo to display my corporate email address as when sending mail (so when i log into yahoo mail and compose an email to John Doe, when he opens it it says it came from my corporate email address). I then added that dummy yahoo mail acct to my iphone. However, when i send mail from it on my iphone, it does not display my corporate email address to the reciepeint, it displays the actual yahoo address. how can i make the iphone send the mail the same way i send it when actually logged into yahoo on the computer? i want reciepeints to see the mail they reieve as if it came from my corporate email address. Help is GREATLY appreciated!

On your computer, this is done via webmail access with Yahoo using a browser, or with an email client such as Outlook or Outlook Express/Windows Mail on a PC, or with the Mail.app on a Mac?
If this is not done with an email client, this is why you are able to do this on your computer and not with the iPhone's Mail app, which is an email client. This is something Yahoo prevents, not Apple or the iPhone. Yahoo has an authenticated SMTP server which doesn't allow for using the SMTP server to send email with another account, or sending an email with a Yahoo account with a different email address other than the Yahoo email address to be shown as the sending email address. This is what spammers do.

Sending mail from apps leave unsent mail in outbox (iOS4)

Since upgrading to iOS4, sending mail from an application (ie Messages, Album, etc) leaves the mail unsent but in my outbox.
This is silly Apple, if I am creating an email from another app and I click "Send", I intend for the message to be sent.
At least change the button text to read "Move to Outbox" if that is the action that is performed.
I look forward to this annoying bug being removed from the next release of iOS4.

I had this problem and I'm not sure if it was caused by iOS4 or by adding an extra gmail account to sync notes, which support was added for in iOS4. I already had an activesync exchange account to connect to gmail so I could also sync my google calendar, but this didn't support syncing notes, so I added another email account to only sync notes. Once I removed this account, emails seem to send properly.
It appears the solution is to only have one email account.

Sending Mail from Alias

I have two alias emails that I use for our web page, as well as for alternate email addy. When I try to send mail from the alias addresses in the Mail app I get the "cannot send using the server smtp.mac.com. The server response was: 5.7.0 From address is not one of your addresses Use the pop up menu below...". I have to select a different SMTP server and .mac server does not show on the listing but rather the other email servers (i.e. google/cox etc)
I have removed accounts, deleted servers, re-created cache etc for the Mail application, and even did a test of the address which worked fine once before.
My goal is to send announcements to family from the one alias so I know it was in response to the web page announcements etc. I wish to keep my primary as private as possible.
Thanks!

Hopefully I can answer your questions:
1) Alias(s) were created on Mobile Me on my account. From the Mail application I wish to "send" from the Alias(s) rather than my main email address i.e. - main email is [email protected], I created [email protected] via Mobile Me as an alias, in Mail application it allows you to select the "account" from which to send from. If I select the alias, I get the error message.
2) They are alias(s) that are part of my main email address for .mac. So I believe the are valid, unless I miss-understand the use of an alias and it is only for receiving mail.
3) Not sure, I think they would use the .mac SMTP server (?)

I cannot send mail from my iPhone since I got my iPad mini even though the settings are exactly the same?

Since I started using my new iPad, I cannot send mail from my iPhone even though I've compared the settings on both and they are exactly the same. I can receive mail.

No Mail. I can not get or send mail from my iPhone,iCloud, or mail on the desktop. Password is correct i can get into iCloud but not able to get mail.

I can not get or send mail from my iPhone, iCloud, and desktop mail. All are the same account, password is right and working. When the problem first happened I updated to a new password.
The Mail and the phone are telling me ( "The iCloud IMAP server “p99-imap.mail.me.com” rejected the password for user “k****n******2”}
From the iCloud account i get a message saying mail could not be loaded and the details. Which i have copyed below.
Any thoughts or anyone I can ring ? This was a paid for mobile me account.
Thanks

Spent at least 40 min talking to apple support, to sort it out. luckly not at my cost. After trying lots of things and speaking to a higher grade support person I was given a temp password which did the trick. I then was able to reset that with my own password.
The impression i got was no one knowns what the problem is and resetting the password at the apple end works. Not sure if you would be able to self fix.

Problem sending mail from iPhone

Hello
I have a problem sending mails from a Horde account in iPhone 5S. I guess the problem is about configuring the outgoing mail server, but I tried several things and nothing seams to work. The message I get is :
"Can't send mail. No password provided for account x
Please go to Mail account settings and enter a password"
Here goes the detailed configuration of the SMTP:
SMTP server: mail.account.pt
User name and Password: xxxxxx
SSL: OFF
Authentication: Password
Server port:587
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you for your help!
Best regards,
Pedro

After talking with my e-mail service provider I understood some more configurations, which might help you to help me:
SMTP Settings:
Authentication method: encrypted password
Connection Security: STARTTLS
How can I copy these settings into my iPhone 5S? In Authetication there's only the following options:
Password, MD5 challenge-response, HTTP MD5 Digest and NTLM...
Thank you!
Best regards,
Pedro Santos

I have to agree with you , I too was disappointed to see that with IOS 4 on my iphone I still cant send from an alias. This is a feature thats available with the .me web access so why not the iphone mail app? If they can't do it, then at least let me be able to use .me via safari on the iphone and ipad.

IPhone is sending mail from an old email address

This one has me stumped. I tried using a gmail account with my phone and decided I didn't like the way things worked (old dog). I liked it when I was just downloading copies of my mail from the mail server independently. So I deleted the gmail account from my iPhone and also from MacMail. It's no where else on any of my Macs or on my iPhone. Yet the phone is still sending out mail from that gmail address, so then of course people respond to it and I never check the mail there. By the time I remember to login to gmail, the messages are days old. Anyone have this problem and how do I exorcise the ghost of gmail?

You need to go to mail settings, open any account, then tap on SMTP. The gmail outgoing server is probably still in the server list, so delete it.
Also, you need to reboot after any email account changes. Hold HOME and SLEEP until an Apple logo appears.

Exchange Mail Footer and Disclaimer when sending mail from iPhone

Hi All,
We have a corporate mail footer configured in our Exchange server. It is designed in html and including images. It works fine when i send mail from Outlook or OWA but when i send an email from my iOS devices, our corporate mail footer is shown as plain text in recipient's mailbox.
Briefly, i send email from outlook to you and you see my email and footer message normal. But when i send email from iphone to you, you see my footer as plain text so you can't see our images.
I don't know if it has a solution or not but i think i can find anyone encountered this problem before.
Thanks

I, too, was having the same problem of blacking out and returning to home each time I sent an email with Edge. I put the phone to sleep, did a hard reset and re-added my account several times. Each time I came back to mail the message was waiting to be sent again. I finally checked my sent mail and it showed up as being sent 22 times. Apparently you should check the sent folder to make sure if it went through or not before trying again.

Problem assigning an account for sending mail from external mail app

Good morning , i have an IPhone 4s 16gb with IOS 7.0.6 and even in setting-mail and calendar i have setup the default account to use for sending mail outside mail app it use ICloud mail account.
if i select Icloud account and then my gmail account sometimes works but after some days it start again to use the other account...i don't know if it is when i power off the IPhone...if i look into settings-mail and calendar account selected is gmail even the account used is the ICloud.
i think is a IOS bug.
please let me know.
Best regards

But there is a (high) possibility that Gmail's server requires authentication (or certification) to connect to it.
I wonder if they're simply silently dropping emails in certain cases. I forgot earlier that I have a Gmail account. If I send an email from the command line on my home computer, which is on Comcast, the mail log shows that I successfully connect to Gmail, the message is sent and accepted by Gmail, but the email never arrives in my inbox. I've tried several times with the same result.
However, emails from a web server from work get through to Gmail without a problem. So I'd bet it's a case of them not delivering mail from Comcast IP addresses.
For grins, I also tried sending to my Yahoo email account from my home computer and their server at least refuses the connection and I get an error message stating that it's because it's a residential IP address.
In this case you need an SMTP client (=a software which directly sends the mail to the Gmail server) which supports authentication.
I think this might also be possible with Postfix by editing the configuration files. I know I had to set up authentication to send emails to my work address directly from my home computers, but I haven't been able to get the same thing to work with Gmail yet. If I get a chance, I'll look into it again later tonight.

Sending Mail from SAP to External Source

Hi Experts,
We are on ECC 6.0. I have configured the standard SAP system for
sending mails from within SAP to our company mail server. The
mails from SAP are going successfully to our official company
ids, But when i am trying to send mails to outside address like
eg. " email@removed " or " email@removed ", it is not going and
giving an error recipient unknown.
The configuration of SAPConnect is correct because mails are
going successfully to our company id, to send outside do i need
to do something extra???

It's Mail Relaying and it allows a mail server to send email (or relay it) on behalf of other systems. Many companies have relaying turned off because it is a security risk.
For example, allowing relaying will allow your system to send an email from xxx.com though your email server which manages emails for company.com. This could be used by a rogue to send spam through your email server.
Also, if you try to send an email from an account that your mail server does not handle some receiving servers may assume it is spam and block it.
For this reason, only allow mail relaying on the email server for your domain and only from the SAP systems. This will prevent abuse from occuring because relaying is enabled.
Have you set the default domain for SAPconnect:

Sending mail from iphone 3gs

I have connected gmail & Hotmail account to my phone. But I can only dowload messages. I cannot see any link or Compose button on my accont. Please advice me how to send mails from these accounts.

I have experienced the same problems. I could receive but not send email through a third party email. Our ISP is BT and it would appear even though they wont admit it that they have changed some peoples settings.
I spoke with my email provider 123-reg and they asked me to check my ISP and then check the SPAMHAUS and our ISP has been Blocklisted. I called BT and they wouldnt answer why this had happened.
To cut a long story short I have had to pay BT £30 (not happy) to resolve the problem. They set my SMTP details as mail.btinternet.com and i had to authenticate this by logging into a BT/Yahoo email account that we never use., go to options then mail options then mail accounts and add details for the account your having problems with. You should then receive an email link on your third party email address.
I have actually complained to OFCOM about this as I dont believe that I should have to pay to rectify a problem that I havent caused. All BT would say is that they fixed the problem and I have to pay the £30. they wouldnt answer why I couldnt send emails prior to this fix. I asked why I now have to have the SMTP as mail.btinternet.com and again they couldnt answer this.
I hope this helps
