IPhone Mail Sending from Different Accounts

I have taken a look and cannot see anything on this topic - but I am having trouble with my iPhone sending emails from different accounts.
I have 5 IMAP accounts setup for different emails. When I go to send from one account, it seems to send from my GMail account (which is first in my email list), this is also true for when I reply or forward emails from any of the 4 other accounts.
I thought this might be due to the default mail option in the settings, so I changed this to another account but it was still all sending from my GMail account. When I turned the GMail account off - all accounts worked fine independently.
Has anyone experienced this and know if its a setting somewhere? or a problem in general?
Many thanks

I am not sure - but I have had to disable the GMail for now so that I can send and forward from my other accounts. Its rather annoying that its defaulting to sending from the GMail account.
Do you think deleting the account and then re-adding it will make any difference?

  • Email sending from different account.

    I have 2 email accounts on my iPad; 1 for work and 1 for personal use.
    When I send an email from my work account the recipient sees that it has come from my personal account. This is a problem because I don't want to share my personal info and also I wait for a reply which has gone to a different account.
    I set up a blind cc but can't remember ow I did this.  I think that this is connected to the problem because when I manually remove the bcc before sending the email is received from my work account as I want it to.
    I have my work account set up as the default account.
    Help please!

    Try to do the following: go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars
    click on your private e-mail account > Account > SMTP > and make sure that SMTP server which is ON is the correct one and is the only one that it is ON for this account.
    Then do the same with your work account.

  • Mail sends from random accounts

    I noticed that mail will send from anyone of the 7 accounts I have set up. I prefer it to only send from my me.com account. Is there a way I can configure this in preference?

    Not an iCloud question at all. This question is better suited to the Mac OS X 10.7 Lion Forum.
    Since you are here…
    To specify a default email account in Mac OS X Mail:
    Go to Mail > Preferences
    Go to the Composing category.
    Select the desired account under 'Send new messages from:' (under Addressing:).
    Close the Preferences window.
    Also, Mac OS X Mail uses the topmost account in the Accounts list as the default for outgoing messages. You can change the order of the Accounts list using drag-and-drop. The individual account's folders under Inbox, for example, are also sorted in this order.

  • Multiple 1&1 email accounts, how do I send from different accounts?

    I have an iPhone 3G with 2.x software on it.
    I have 1&1 hosting email accounts with different username/pwds, but they all point to smtp.1and1.com to send.
    I have no problem receiving emails (POP3 or IMAP), but when sending email (SMTP), I have only one option for outgoing smtp on server smtp.1and1.com. I can't setup multiple smtp servers that use the same server DNS name, but different username/pwds. I have tried some of the other 1&1 SMTP server names like smtp.perfora.net and mrelay.perfora.net (which work fine with outlook), but the iPhone keeps saying they are invalid.
    Any help?
    Thanks,
    Doug

    I can't setup multiple smtp servers that use the same server DNS name, but different username/pwds.
    What happens when you try?
    I am only checking one Gmail account on my phone, but there are multiple smtp.gmail.com servers listed, each with different usernames/passwords, that were transferred to the phone when I synced settings from Apple Mail.

  • Mail sends from deleted account on ipad

    I am trying to send mail from my mail.com account on my ipad but it keeps sending it from a gmail account I deleted from my ipad. Can anyone help me?

    I have solved this. The main account SMTP setting was wrong so it was using the next outgoing mail server available which was Gmail. Disabling Gmail as an alternative highlighted that the main one was wrong. I fixed the main SMPTP outgoing server address and all now working. Hope this helps.

  • Mail sending from different person's name. Help!

    Hi! This problem is a little confusing…I’ll try to make it as simple as possible.
    I’ve gone through dozens of threads and still can’t find an answer for this.
    I have my work email set up on a Macbook. I’m the only one who uses the Macbook. The address is [email protected] and the name associated with the account is "My Name." This is the same for all my coworkers. Example: Coworker’s Name <[email protected]>
    Until recently, when I sent an email recipients used to always see my name followed by my address in the “From” field (My Name <[email protected]>).
    Now when I send an email, people see my coworker’s name in front of MY email address (Coworker’s Name <[email protected]>). His actual address is [email protected] I have never sent an email from this address. I can’t even log into his account.
    And now, in addition to seeing my coworker’s name in the “From” field, if someone composes an email to me it comes to my address, but even I now see it as To: Coworker’s Name <[email protected]>. At first this was only happening to one person. Now literally everyone who emails me sees his name paired with my address.
    I’ve tried clearing out the previous recipients list, updating all names in my address book, making sure the account is named properly in settings…everything. Please help!!!

    I should add that until today, the sending address read as
    Anne Leader <[email protected]>
    Thanks.

  • Send and receive mail from different accounts.

    I'm new to everything and I just posted this in the iPod forum, but I'm now thinking it belongs here.
    How do I receive mail from my Gmail account and send from another account?
    I have the incoming server as an IMAP and it works fine. The outgoing mail server is the problem. It's set up as a different username and everything, and it STILL sends it through my GMail account. I deleted the outgoing smtp gmail server with no success. What should I do?
    Thanks!

    Ernie,
    You beat me to the punch... I was just about to reply with a follow-up asking if there was a way to do just that. Looks like I may need to use the separate accounts option in order to allow my to have Full Name information that is more helpful. For now, it won't be a problem because I only need 2 different addresses. If that changes in the future, however, I can see how it would be a problem.
    It would be simple if I could add a comma-separated list of Full Names in the Full Name field (in the same order as the list of addresses) and have them match up.
    Hmmm... might have to try that, just to see if it would work!
    Thanks again.

    I think it depends on your operating system.
    You can test it by using java.net.Socket to create a bunch of
    connections to the same host and port, close them, and then
    see what your operating system shows. If you get the same
    behavior there, it's an OS problem, or perhaps just the way
    the OS works. You might want to check with a networking expert.

  • Mac Mail not sending from correct account.

    I constantly use Mail to send and receive emails on my MacBook.
    On it I have three email 'accounts' - my me.com address (for formal emails to work, banks etc.), my "junk" address (for spam, gaming etc.) and my "home" address (for personal emails and everything else).
    When typing an email, if I choose to send it from a different account than the one I originally selected, I can just change it in the 'From' pop-down menu (under the 'To', 'Cc', 'Bcc' and 'Subject' fields).
    Recently though, for some reason when I want to send an email from my "home" address, it sends it from my "junk"one instead, even if I am sending it 'From' my "home" address.
    It still has my "home" address' signature, and not every time it does send from my "junk" one instead - rather it seems to send from both as it feels up to.
    This bothers me quite a bit, especially when I send an important email using my "home" address but it sends from my "junk" - both confusing and annoying me and the recipients.
    This only just started happening to me this past week. Does anyone else have the same issue, and any help would be greatly appreciated

    Some mail servers such as gmail will change the address when sending from one account through another account's server.
    Go into Mail's preferences under Accounts. Highlight each account and make sure the correct outgoing server is listed for that account with the correct user name and password. Each account should have their own. Check the box to use only that server with that account. Do this for all accounts.
    If you don't check the box and the server fails, it will move on to the next one in the list. Then you will get the address from that server even though you're sending from a different account.
    If the server does fail, you will get a selection box to try again or select another server.

  • Mail sending from 2 gmail accounts at the same time

    I currently have 2 gmail accounts, one is a Personal account that I use 90% of the time and the other is a Family account. I have them set up to sync through Apple Mail. Since upgrading to Mavericks, whenever I send an email from my Personal account, it appears that it is sending from both accounts even though I only selected to send from my Personal account. The most frustrating part is that the recepients show that it is coming from my Family account. Therefore, when they reply to my original email, the reply comes to my Family account. Does anyone else experience this or have a solution?
    Thanks

    Think I solved my own problem. It seems I just needed to delete both of my gmail accounts from Mail, restart computer, and re-add the accounts. Seems to be working now.

  • Mail program sends from random accounts

    i have 4 email accounts (gmail and aol) i manage with apple's mail program.  Sometimes it randomly sends emails from the wrong email address (I do select the right address but it sometimes sends from the account I have not selected - it's random.
    Is there seomthing I need to reset? 

    I have the same problem, although I'd say it happens much more frequently than randomly. Practically everytime if I don't actually select it myself. I have 8 varieties of Microsoft and Google accounts. I haven't found a solution other than to paying more attention, but I'd like to know why it does it.

  • I have 2 hotmail accounts on my mail, when I send from one account I receive the reply in my other account, how can I stop this from happening?

    I have 2 hotmail accounts in my Mac Mail, when I send from one account the reply comes back to the other hotmail account, how can I stop this?

    You should be able to open both accounts.
    I believe Hotmail T&C may expect you to have only one account, but possibly multiple alliases.
    You may have problems opening two separate hotmail accounts at once in Firefox. Try using a new private browsing window for the second one. With any look that will separate them enough for you to use both at once.
    (With other account holders permission.) I sometimes open my own and another persons hotmail account by that method.

  • Outlook 2010 - Multiple Exchange Accounts - Won't send from second account

    I've setup multiple exchange accounts in Outlook 2010.  I receive fine for both accounts, but cannot send from second account.  Sent email goes to the Outbox and stays there.
    I've tried going back to a second profile, and it works fine.  Mail in Outbox from efforts above stay in Outbox.  If I pull them up, I can resend with no issue.
    I need to be able to send with multiple accounts in same profile to do other projects I'm currently working on.  Any ideas???
    Thanks,

    I was able to fix this with Outlook 2010 Service Pack 1.
    Another area that I had to change was the inbox for that other account I created a rule to put in the primary inbox folder (email 2).
    After that the email was only checking one to send and recieve based on the highlighted account, so to resolved that I went to Send/Reveive Groups > Define Groups > Edit Account Properties and made sure they refresh every 1 minute(s).

  • Email sending from old account that I erased

    I have two email addresses, one person and one business. I have them both as accounts in Mail but last week erased my business account. It now no longer shows up as an option to send emails with.
    The problem is that even though I am now sending all the emails with my personal account, I specifically select that account for the From line and see that it sending from that account, when I get a reply from the person I see that it actually sent with my erased business account. If I go to sent items it also shows that I sent it from that old erased account. Just to clarify these emails were sent after I erased the account so it shouldn't be doing this!
    Any help would be very much appreciated.

    That didn't work but I did figure it out in the end by pressing a lot of things on and off and restaring mail. It still isn't perfect but it is better than before. Thanks for your help
