IPhone Mail, MobileMe and Multiple From Addresses

iOS 4.2 failed us MobileMe mail users by not allowing us to send from multiple external accounts using our @Me account. Ugh! I can not wait to see this discussion roll back into the history books. I patiently sat waiting and now I give.
I understand that there are numerous discussions on the web about this, but I feel inclined to share yet another solution that I have not seen on the web. It is pretty straightforward and simple.
(I will write, semi-explicitly, as to help all understand.)
First off, Here is a scenario...
-I have a MobileMe account and choose to use this on my iPhone for the sync reasons that we all know and love.
-I have a Gmail account which is my primary email address that all my friends and family etc. have. I ONLY want them to see and use this email address. (I know how easily confused others address books, as well as themselves, get when they see more than 1 email address.)
-I have my business email address which I only want to share with clients and for work purposes. I do not want to share my Gmail with them.
Let's label these email addresses as follows...
MobileMe is [email protected]
Gmail is [email protected]
Work is [email protected]
(*I will add 1 more later in this thread*)
-First thing to do is go into the [email protected] accounts settings and forward all messages to the [email protected] address. (I have gmail archive the messages after forwarding)
-Then, go into the [email protected] accounts settings and forward all of these messages to the [email protected] account. (I have work mail archive the messages after forwarding)
-Next, setup [email protected] on your iPhone as normal.
-Then, setup [email protected] on your iPhone as normal.
*You will now have 2 email accounts that both send and receive on your iPhone. Now, when you compose new mail, you can touch the cc field and then select which account that you would like to send from. (I know, you know this already... Continue on.)
The unified Inbox helps you manage incoming mail, but you will receive 2 copies of everything that is sent to [email protected]'s email. Yukk! This is obviously because [email protected] is receiving the message and [email protected] is receiving the forward message, right?
Here is my very simple and silly solution that Apple has forced me to use...
Create a new email account (somewhere like gmail) with the intention of NEVER using this address anywhere! You NEVER want mail to come here, so make the address some stupid name like [email protected]. In the settings for that account you can even set a new filter which will delete any message that is sent to this address (if you want added protection from receiving mail here).
*We will call this new email account [email protected]
Now go into the iPhone settings for the [email protected] email account and set the incoming server settings to the [email protected] settings. *Make sure to set the proper port, SSL etc.
Ahhh, now you will only receive the messages sent to your [email protected] account via your [email protected] account on your iPhone and you can still send from either account when you compose new messages or replies.
Enjoy.

Hello,
I never saw your original post.
I have not tried this specifically with a Gmail account, but don't see why it wouldn't work. See the Mail Help and the following Support doc link for email aliases:

Those about .mac aliases do not apply.

Mail.app and multiple sender addresses?

I'm trying to figure out if Mail.app can be configured to have multiple sender addresses like Thunderbird can. The reason for this because I want to use "+" address for mailing lists.
Let me explain so there is no confusion. I sign up for a mailing list using the e-mail address: <username>+<listname>@gmail.com
I have setup Mail.app to connect to Gmail via pop and can download and send e-mail fine using <username>@gmail.com. However I need to be able to send e-mail as <username>+<listname>@gmail when I'm replying or posting to those mailing lists.
I can't seem to find a way in Mail.app to let me change who I'm sending as. Does anyone have a Mail.app solution to this problem?

Can't drag and drop from Address Book to Mail?

Hi,
I have always used Address Book to store my email contact information in SL. When I wanted to send an email, I would drag and drop from Address Book to the "To:" field in Mail and it would add the contact information to Mail. I upgraded to Lion, and now when I try this, the address icon moves like it should, the little green circle with the + in it appears when I hover over the field, but when I release it does not add the address to Mail. The drag and drop does not work at all, but it looks like it should. I have searched all around but have not found any information about this. Does anyone know what's up with this? How can I fix it? Thanks in advance.

Are you dragging from the actual AddressBook application, or the Address icon you can add to the NewMail and Reply toolbars in Mail? (It ought to be there by default, but isn't).
Either should work, but if AB doesn't, try the icon method:

IPhone mail configured with Gmail alternate address

I'm really stuck.. I have a Gmail account (through Google Apps for Business) that I have configured with Mail on my iPhone using Exchange to connect the account. Everything has been working flawlessly, until my employer made a change to our email addresses, so that we had to set up a new domain alias through Gmail as our "send from" account.
My problem is that I can't for the life of me figure out how to send from this new address from my iPhone.
Finally, I found a post on the web that seems to explain a way to do this, using the OTHER account setup (IMAP) on the iPhone (instead of either Gmail or Exchange): http://modernerd.com/post/535350679/solved-gmail-ipad-iphone-and-multiple-from That seemed to do the trick, except then I realized I would no longer have Push email, which I have really come to rely on.
I tried using the native iPhone Gmail app for a few days, as that seemed to be the only solution, but there's just so many things about that app that really make me miss my good 'ol Apple mail.
Any other creative solutions out there? Thanks for any advice!

yeah, it used to work fine because google was supported exchange on mobile devices up until the end of february or so. they let everyone keep their settings the way they were unless they changed them or deleted them, so that's totally expected. The thing with the push is that gmail no longer seems to be supporting that behavior through native apps on mobile devices because it's something they want their exchange customers to pay for

Cannot Setup Multiple From Addresses in Workflow Properties in SOA 11.1.1.7

Hello All,
I have a requirement where I would need multiple From Addresses set in Workflow Properties. We have some Processes where notifications with 1 mail ID as From Address has to be sent and some other Processes where another MailID as From Address has to be sent.
I tried configuring Workflow Properties in EM Console by giving both the From Addresses as comma separated values. But all the Processes pick only the first From Mail Address given.I provided the From Address even in the Notification Activity in my process as an expression, but I still see the first from Address set in the Workflow properties in EM Console.
For SOA Suite Versions before 11.1.1.3 it was possible for us to update Workflow-Notification-config.xml file to have all these values.This is not possible in 11.1.1.7.
If somebody has already encountered this and fixed it please let me know.
Thanks in Advance

Hi!,
when that happend to me, I used to do the next steps:
In EM, go to FARM_SOA...>SOA>SOA-INFRA>Default, right clic on your proyect and uninstall it
Log in into your BPM workspace as your administrator> Administration, and erase all roles for that project and save.
Install your project from jdeveloper again.
Log in into your BPM workspace as your administrator> Administration, clic on your project.ProcesOwner Role, and add your user on the members below section
After adding thee user, clic SAVE
Do the same for all the roles of your project
This worked for me, remember to clic the save button after adding a member for the role
hope it helps!,
regards.

Creating BusinessPartner with both mail to and bill to address

Hi,
I am having problem creating a business partner with both mail to and bill to address. I want to create two instances (lines) in BPAddresses; one with mial to address and another with bioll to address. But I still get the error code -5002 with the message "Address is empty [OCRD: CardCode} line:1"
Below is my code in C#:
SAPbobsCOM.BusinessPartners bp = (SAPbobsCOM.BusinessPartners) conn.InternalConnection.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.oBusinessPartners);
               bp.CardName = "Test Tester";
               bp.CardType = SAPbobsCOM.BoCardTypes.cCustomer;
               bp.CardCode = "TEST29";
               bp.Address = "1305 Blue Raven Blvd";
               bp.City = "Citrus Height";
               bp.Country = "US";
               bp.BillToState = "CA";
               bp.ContactPerson = "Peter Snicker";
               bp.Currency = "USD";
               bp.ZipCode ="94521";
               string errMsg;
               int errCode;
               int returnval = bp.Add();
               if(0 != returnval){

               string cardCode;
               conn.InternalConnection.GetNewObjectCode(out cardCode);
               //Console.WriteLine("Added BP successfully",cardCode);
               bp.GetByKey(cardCode);
               bp.Addresses.Add();
               bp.Addresses.SetCurrentLine(1);
               bp.Addresses.AddressType = SAPbobsCOM.BoAddressType.bo_ShipTo;
               returnval = bp.Update();
               if(0 != returnval){
                    conn.InternalConnection.GetLastError(out errCode, out errMsg);
                    Console.WriteLine(errMsg);
                    return;
I would appreciate if anyone can help me with this problem.
Thank you in advance,
Sunny

Hi Sunny,
The reason for your error is that you're trying to add a blank ship to address.
bp.Addresses.AddressType = SAPbobsCOM.BoAddressType.bo_ShipTo;
returnval = bp.Update();
you are just specifying a type and then trying to update. If you want to add another line, you have to set some properties, like:
bp.Addresses.AddressType = SAPbobsCOM.BoAddressType.bo_ShipTo;
bp.Addresses.AddressName = "My Address";
etc...
etc...
returnval = bp.Update();
Hope it helps,
Adele

How migrate all mail (boxes and accounts) from 10.6.8 on Mavericks (without Migration Assistant)?

How migrate all mail (boxes and accounts) from 10.6.8 on Mavericks (without Migration Assistant)? Install the system (10.9.1) on a blank disk, copied the program and set up manually. Mail accounts and folders does not work to install and configure. Migration Assistant does not want to use, as it copies everything, and you only need to e-mail. Read a lot, but nothing works.

Try reindexing the mailbox. This can take awhile if you have a lot of mail.
Reindex messages.
If that doesn't work try deleting MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded3.
Quit the application.
You need to look in your user Library. Either hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command and select your user Library in your home folder or use the Finder “Go To Folder” command and enter ~/Library/Mail/V2/Mail Data/MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded3. Move the file to your desktop.
Open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the file from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return thefile to where you got it from, overwriting the newer ones.
If you prefer to make your User library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
Show User Library
You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.5. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

How do I get iphone to reply to mail using a particular "from" address?

Hi all
I'm having a problem getting my girlfriends iPhone to respond to mails the way she wants. Basically she has a website for her business and I have gone into the settings on 123.reg.co.uk where she bought the domain and had it forward emails from her site to her me.com address which she can then view on her iphone. The problem is she wants to reply to mails that have arrived via her website using the same mail address so people would see "from: [email protected]" in their inbox.
Any ideas how I can do this?
I had a look at aliases on the mobileme prefs but there are restrictions on what characters you can use so I have had to rule that out.
Thanks
Jonno

You have to set up that email account on your iPhone for it to reply from that account. Unless she can set up the Poppyseedbakery email account there is no way for her replies to come from that. Have you thought about setting up an email account, for example [email protected] or something similar? Then you can set that up on your iPhone and reply from that.

Bulk mailing possible using address and information from Address Book?

Hello,
I'd like to send some bulk mailings utilizing data from Address Book like unique names, email addresses, and some other information in each message. Is there a nice clean way to do with with OSX components or iWork '09, or is some 3rd party software needed?
Thank you,
Jacob

There are several 3rd party tools available -some of them are listed atemail.about.com. You can't do it with just Mail and AddressBook.

Mail Adapter - Multiple mail ID and multiple mail servers config.

Hi All
I am doing BPM synch scenario in which i get the response from SAP box and send the response via email adapter. I am using mail.xsd and doing mail config. in message mapping. However in the TO field i am able to give only one email ID. If i give multiple email ID's mail is not received. I tried comma and semi-colon as separator. Still not working? I have two questions in configuring TO option:
1) How to send to multiple id's? I am using Lotus Notes.
2)How to send to multiple mail servers? I have to send to Lotus Notes id's and outlook express id's also simultaneously.
Thanks for your help in advance
Warm Regards
Samuel

Hi,
Please find here with some observations about it,
1) How to send to multiple id's? I am using Lotus Notes.
If you have specified an IMAP server under URL, the message is saved in the specified folder but is not sent to the receiver specified under To.
Then even if Under To, you had specified the e-mail address that will receive the message would be separated with a semicolon. It will not work.
Please verify about it .
The below link will also help you to verify if there is anything missing

Yahoo! Mail Plus and Reply-to address

I am a Yahoo! Mail Plus subscriber, and am able to send emails with various verified addresses, when using the Yahoo Mail Web interface.
My account serves as a collection point for primary mail (which originally goes to a spam service, and in turn is redirected to Yahoo Mail), and some other redirects. I then can check all mail here, and reply with various Reply-to addresses, which are what the recipients see.
But in iPhone Mail using the YahooMail set up, I am only able to specify the default yahoo address, which I never use as a visible "reply to" address.
Does anyone have a fix or suggestion how to solve this?
Peter in Munich

There's a setting in your "Mail" settings that says "show To:cc label". I have that turned ON.
Now, when I go to an email, and reply to it, I can just Tap the "cc/bcc/from" field with my finger, and it suddenly expands the cc, bcc, and from fields onto their own lines.
The "from" field is now editable.
Touch it, and you get a nice list selection to send 'from' any of your configured email accounts.
Does that work for you?

Problem printing labels and envelopes from Address Book

I am very frustrated by the impossibility, when printing labels or envelopes from Address Book, of including both an individual name and a company name on the label or envelope. The Address book will only print one or the other. When sending correspondence to a person in a large company or building, the correspondence will not get to that person with only the company name or the individual name. It shocks me that in all these years I have been a Mac user, Apple has never noticed and fixed this fundamental problem. I would now like to buy an Ipod or an Ipad, but I am reluctant because I do not want to have to sync my addresses to Apple's juvenile address book. Is there any solution to this?

Smart folders and multiple email addresses

My wife uses multiple email addresses. I've tried to set up a smart folder in my mail that would allow me to put multliple conditions that would allow me to have one smart folder that collects emails from her multiple accounts.
The problem I hsve is that it seems I can only have one email address per folder. If I create a second contition that has "contains" the second email address nothing appears in the folder.
Is this not possible with the mac mail program?

Hello,
I think the key is in the line here that says "that match->Any" instead of Match all of the following conditions..

Syncing iPhone with MobileMe and iCal

I know that when I'm set up right the changes I make on one device (iPhone, iCal, MobileMe) sync to all other devices. Here is my question. iPhone calendar *****; so, at work I want to be able to create calendar events on my personal Mac and sync through iTunes (Mac will not be connected to internet and I can't access MobileMe from work computer). I need to be able to create recurring events that are custom (beyond the bare-basic the iPone calendar offers).
Can I use the option to sync with iCal through iTunes while Mac is not connected to the internet and still use MobileMe? I have tried this but keep getting duplicate calendar and contacts entries.
Do I have to use one or the other?

Doing both does nothing but duplicate the calendars and calendar events on your iPhone. When doing both, each is synced and stored separately and differently on the iPhone. The calendars and calendar events synced direct with iCal via the iTunes sync process are stored separately and not synced over the air with your iPhone and vice-versa.

Kmail and custom from address

I have started to use kmail and I want to set my own from address on out going e-mail.

I was able to do this in thunderbird but I can't figure out how to do it in kmail
