IPhone4 - Gmail - Sent From Address???

Hey Guys/Gals,
I setup a POP email account through the Exchange option using a Gmail account on my iPhone 4. My question is this: When I send emails from my iPhone it uses my gmail account email address *****@gmail.com. I need it to show its coming from my business email address instead.
Is there any way to set this up on the iPhone?
I already logged into my Gmail account and selected that all emails sent should look like they are coming from my POP business address. But I can't find an option on the iPhone to change the outgoing email address.
Let me know.... thanks!

Ahhh....I am have the same issue and it is so annoying. There is no way I am going to send emails to my work colleagues from a personal email address!!
I have googled this topic for quite some time, and I have not found a solution yet. I am still trying to work it out because i need to be able to send from multiple accounts. I did run accross an article talking about using the 'magic comma' to separate multiple email accounts when setting up your gmail on iphone ( http://modernerd.com/post/535350679/solved-gmail-ipad-iphone-and-multiple-from )
This 1/2 worked for me. I was able to choose which email address to send from, but they were all the same address. Give it a try, maybe it'll work for you.

Sent-From Address Changing in Mail?

Hello,
My father got an iPad and is using it for business. He has two email addresses: a business address and a Gmail address.
In Gmail, there is an option to have your sent-from address be a different email address, so when he writes an email from Gmail, he has it set so that it appears that the email was set from his business address, NOT the Gmail address. So, even though he's officially sending it from his Gmail account, the recipient will see [email protected], not [email protected],
This is great, but in Mail, when he writes an email from his Gmail address to a business contact, it shows it as being from the Gmail address, not the business address as he has it set. He is having to go to Gmail from his browser to send the email to have it have the proper From address, rather than being able to do it directly from Mail.
Is there any way to rectify this?

Gmail is primarily webmail and, of course, I know that that option is available when you're logged into and using Gmail.com. Your father would be able to domthe same thing, I.e., use Safari or the Google app to operate directly at Gmail instead of remotely through a client like Mail.
The only other option I can think of would be to add his business account into Mail on the iPad, following the setup instructions in the User Guide. There is moding in Mail which allows you to assign any installed email address and outgoing email server to any message — Tapping the From: address shown in the message being composed pops a menu showing other options for the From field.

HT5624 I have two mail accounts and one Icloud account. Thproblem is mail is going out with the incorrect sent from address. I deleted the mail accounts and added just one account back and mail still goes out with the incorrect from address and people res

My phone will not5 send from the correct address tht I want my mail sent from. Although my mail goes into the correct mail accout answeres leave with the incorrect sent from address.
I want to be able to send mail corectly.

In Mail Preferences/Accounts/each GMail account, set up the SMTP Outgoing Server for each account separately, going into SMTP name/edit/Advanced and specify the Username of each account. The Outgoing servers must be two different servers, authenticated by the Username and Password of each.
Otherwise, the GMail SMTP server will change the from address to that of the account where the SMTP server was setup.

Reply address: is it possible to use another reply address other than the pop address used in my account. I have a special work account and would like to send emails with that address as my reply address...or sent from address

Reply address: is it possible to use another reply address other than the pop address used in my account. I have a special work account and would like to send emails with that address as my reply address...or sent from address

i found out how to do this finally!
1) set up google gmail account to forward your emails to (from the [email protected])
2) go to your gmail account
3) go to settings (cog in right hand corner)
4) go to 'accounts and import'
5) go to 'send mail as'
6) click 'Add another email address you own' - add your [email protected] address
7) google will send a verification email with code to that email address.
8) enter code
9) go back to gmail account >'send mail as' and select 'make default'
10) close mac 'mail' program and reopen it.
as long as you have gmail account selected as the primary account in MAIL - mail will now come throught as being sent from that [email protected] address!!

Gmail custom From address - Mail

This is a great feature for Gmail users that can hopefully be used in Mail.
Through the Gmail web portal you can select which 'From' address is displayed in that sent message. This needs to be setup prior to usage according to these instructions: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=22370
*Is there a way to setup custom 'From' addresses in the Mail.app?* More to the point: *Can Mail.app use my Gmail custom 'From' addresses?* Mail.app is using imap/smtp server protocols. Gmail requires that you provide verification for each address you add; addresses that you control.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions!

Thanks for the response Ernie, here is a bit more info on what I'm hoping to do (or as you suggested questions/thoughts for finding a workable alternative).
Through Gmail (via browser) i'm able to select which address the recipient will see when they receive my message. This is done in the Compose Message phase. I currently have two email addresses that i'm using; my university account and personal (gmail) account. For correspondence through school I would like to reply via my university address. Fortunately using Gmail (via browser) this has consolidated both emails to one place where I can receive and send from both addresses.
I was hoping to use my IMAP/STMP connection so that all my emails, calendar entries and contacts are located on Google's services. Having everything on my Google account allows me to send & view emails, calendar, and contacts from my phone, computer or campus computer.
As you explained Gmail maintains Authentication through SMTP. I guess what I should be asking is how to add (if possible) outgoing mail servers to Mail. I may be confused on exactly what Gmail is doing when sending my various custom 'From' emails but I believe they are just manipulated so that messages are received from the selected 'From' account. Unfortunately, if I don't use my Gmail STMP those sent messages aren't saved in Gmail.
When using my MacBook though I wanted to have this functionality through Mail.app so that I wouldn't have to use the browser.
*If you have some suggestions for alternatives I would be interested in checking them out.* I do have a ISP email account, but I foresee a bit of a mess; as stated using Google has allowed me to unify all my communications and access them easily, instead of having various accounts to constantly check and update.
Thanks again,
Madison

Why Gmail sent from my iPhone not appearing in iMac's Sent folder?

Hi guys,
Some time after installing iCloud - possibly the same day, I sent a message from my iPhone 3G to multiple recipients.
a) No one got it, b) my message appears as Sent in iPhone and in Gmail (on their site), and on my iMac's Gmail/Sent folder, but not in the iMac's Mail/Sent folder - which is the one I always check.
I have 2 questions: 1. how come a message appearing as Sent on Gmail's own site isn't received (there were 4 recipients) and, 2. why does it appear as Sent in some but not all Sent folders?
Would iCloud have anything to do with it?
I just sent a test message to myself from my iPhone. I got the message both on the iPhone AND iMac, but again the message does not appear in the iMac's/Mail Sent folder. Bizarre?
PS All my software is up to date, regardless of what my profile says.
Thanks a lot,
Raphael

Please ignore the above . I have discovered what I did wrong - but don't know how to delete the question!
Sorry

Change "Sent From" Address on Sent Mail

Is there a way to change the "Sent From" Signature on outgoing mail. I use Yahoo for push email but want my outgoing mail address to read as my corporate email address. I don't want to send email to my clients showing a yahoo address. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I am having the same problem. I noticed no one commented on your post and wondered if you ever fixed the problem.

Iphone 4S with GMAIL / Changing from address.

Looking to see if it is possible to setup a GMAIL account with Iphone 4S and change the email address it sends from. I can setup the account just fine but the IPhone automatically changes the email address to the @gmail.com account after it saves.
The reason I want to use the exchange email option is that it synchs much faster the using Other/IMAP.
Any ideas would be apreciated.

I just learned how at Apple store today.
Set-up your gmail email account on iPhone as a Microsoft Exchange account type, NOT a Gmail.
Do not use a domain
When asked, after initial verify, enter the following for the server: m.google.com
I then deleted the other gmail email account I had set-up previously.
Works great for me!

Gmail: wrong "from" address on iPhone

Is set up my gmail account and am receiving email fine. I set my account up online and in the account section chose a different address as my "From" default.
When I send email from my gmail web account, it comes through from the correct address ([email protected]).
However, when I send from the iPhone, it comes through the gmail address ([email protected])
I've tried every setting and can't figure it out. Really frustrated! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

So I tried this set up, let me know what I did wrong, because I still can't get it to work right:
Name: Jane Doe
Address: [email protected]
description: [email protected]
Incoming:
Host name: pop.gmail.com
username: [email protected]
password: xxxxxxx
Outgoing:
Host: mail.mycompany.com
username: [email protected]
pasword: xxxxxxx
With that setup, I thought it would work, but my test email still came in as @gmail.com
Did I do something wrong?

Gmail sent from macbook doesn't show up on iPhone6

I activated my new phone today, and email I send from macbook doesn't show up on phone. I can send/receive from phone. All settings on new phone match old phone.

The messages are still downloading. Just an FYI but changing that one setting (adding [Gmail]) to one account appears to have f'kd it up beyond what I can say. First everything went away. So I took it back out of the setting. Now these are the messages trying to download. I think I had archived alot of these messages and will have to clean out the box again??? The second image is showing in the sent folder. Only a few old messages are there and now they have this weird blue 'From'? Free storage is the only reason I use gmail and 'free' is looking pretty expensive right now.

If IMAP, did you set it up correctly to sync all the standard mailboxes, Trash, Drafts, Sent, Junk?

Choosing "sent from" address

Hello, in the Mail program on my computer I used to have a drop-down box that appeared in messages I composed, below the subject line, that allowed me to select either of the two .Mac e-mail addresses I have in my .Mac account.
Recently that drop-down box has disappeared and I cannot choose to send e-mails from my secondary e-mail address.
In order to send any e-mails from that secondary address, I have to use the web-mail program, not the Mail program resident on my computer.
Can somebody help me get that drop-down box back in Mail? When I press "Reply" to some messages sent to the secondary address I can see the drop-down appear very briefly as Mail is loading the message data, but it disappears after the data is loaded.
Thanks.

The accounts pull down is generated for the list of accounts in Mail --> Preferences --> Accounts. Are both of your .Mac accounts set up there? Next, make sure under the Advanced tabs that Enable This Account is checked.

How/can I change the "from" address in Mail?

I just upgraded to Mountain Lion, and have come across a problem.
I use iCloud for my mail account, but I want to change the "from" address - so the return address on my messages is NOT icloud.
I could do this in Lion.
In the mail account settings, there's an option that says "alias" and it lists (me)@mac.com, (me)@me.com and (me)@icloud.com, and then "custom" is an option.
Great!
So I choose Custom, and then I can type in the "from" address that I want.
However, when I go to save those changes, it tells me the SMTP server can't be left blank.
What?
It's not blank! I didn't touch it. The icloud server is still there!
Furthermore, it's greyed out, so even if it WERE blank, it's not like I can edit it!
Once this happens, the only fix is to delete the whole account from mail, and to disable mail in the icloud control panel, then re-add it.
Has anyone figured out to work around this?

Apple's outgoing mail server - just like 99.9% of all other SMTP servers, does not allow "relaying", meaning you use a domain in the 'sent from' address that is different from a domain hosted by the server. The simple reason is to make it harder for any spammer - not assuming you are one - to abuse the server. While bandwidth, server capacity and server load are some issues, the main fear for ISPs is to get blacklisted, and consequently mails from such server being refused by all others.
It's a general rule, and while exceptions might be technically possible, it would be a manual act which at a certain rate would become unmanageable.
If you want, read about the antonym, open mail relay servers, here.
You see, it's actually good behavior and absolutely in your interest to prevent you from using a "non-in-house" 'sent from' address.

How do I set which account email is sent from?

I have 2 email accounts and having trouble figuring out how to set the default for which account mail is sent from.

Christopher Graham wrote:
Can he not just go into each account and set the default for each account the same "sent from" address?
No you can't. If you're in one account, and you create a new message, it defaults to the account you're in. If you create an email outside of the mail app, you can set a default account to send from. Andygoodyear has the correct instructions for that.

Unity Connection 9.1 - SMTP Send from Address

Hi,
Does anyone know how to change the SMTP sent from address and alias when receiving a VM in Outlook?
For example I receive VM's from an account alias of "Cisco Unity Connection Messaging System" and I would like to change this. It looks like it is linked to a local account configured on the Connection box with an alias of UnityConnection. The fields are greyed out and i'm not able to edit them directly, the only field that I wish to edit is the display name.
I am reluctant to delete the account and re-create one of my own using the same alias in case emails stop being sent. Has anyone any ideas or experience with this issue?
Thanks,
Phil

Yes it can be different than the OS domain. Secretly CXN is a Postfix mail server so this is essentially configuring the domain of the subscribers' mailboxes. As it will warn you though there are several service-impacting daemons that MUST be restarted after making the change.
As you mentioned, the networking guide does require unique SMTP domains per-cluster. This is because most of the inter-cluster traffic occures over SMTP, including message delivery. I typically recommend a semi-human friendly nomenclature such as:
na.voicemail.domain.com
emea.voicemail.domain.com
apac.voicemail.domain.com

HT2513 On Lion, how do I set which account the "event"/meeting request is sent from?

how do I set which account the "event"/meeting request is sent from? I have several accounts and currently iCal is sending all requests from my apple email (personal) account. This is bad!
