Mail.app Different FROM ALIAS not full account change. NOT ".mac" HOW?!!

Hey there.
So I use forwarding aliases from various domains and have no interest in stopping this. Mail.app doesn't seem to have any way to switch the FROM address (not the replyto, but the actual from address) if you don't set up an entirely new account. I thought I could get around this by just setting up another account, however mail checks to see that the account logs in properly, and if it's the same account that you have another address set to it doesn't let you duplicate it cause it doesn't want to download the same mail twice every time or something. Of ourse I just wanted to tell it not to download the mail on the second account. Anyway, I need a way to have one account that's with my ISP [email protected] or whatever that I log into, but have like 5 others that it sends from [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] etc. but since all of these addresses forward to my main mail account I can't have a separate login for each of them.
I'm getting the impreassion that everyone who uses mail is just boxed in by the concepts handed to them, cause NO ONE seems to be talking about this issue. Unless I'm a complete idiot and am missing something obvious.
I found one other account of such a problem and the person also had a .mac account so everyone told him to just switch to always using the .mac account.
That's a totally unacceptable answer!
Anyway, I recently switched from Eudora which CAN do this with no problems. THe only problem is, eudora isn't integrated with address book, and more importantly, doesn't handle Japanese well.
If anyone can be of help I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

As if it wasn't doing this before.
Well, you're right that adding aliases to a mail account has no effect on the mail that's collected there, and that the statement you quoted is misleading. Problem is, that statement doesn't appear in the Mail Help's "Adding multiple email alias addresses to an account" article I was referring to, so I had no idea what were you talking about.
I've been able to find the article you've quoted in Apple's knowledge base:
Mac OS X: Using email aliases in Mail
I agree that the last part of this article is poorly written, but it's not in Mail Help, and it doesn't appear when typing alias in Mail Help's search box as I suggested.
I'm assuming all is well.
Let us know if that's not the case.

How do I set the "reply to" field in the iPad 2 Mail app? I use an email forwarding service (not an actual email account) that I would like people to reply to.

How do I set the "reply to" field in the iPad 2 Mail app? I use an email forwarding service (not an actual email account) that I would like people to reply to, so setting up an account with the correct reply-to address doesn't work because there's no associated outgoing mail server. I had this working under iOS4 but it seems to have disappeared when I upgraded to iOS5.

Welcome to the forum, NicoleYM. I don't think the Touch Mail has as many options as the Mac Mail app. However, you could set a standard signature. Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Signature. There you can type a reply address and hope people see it.
Alternatively, you can go to your GMail account in your web browser and click on Settings > Forwarding and POP/IMAP. There you will have an option to forward all emails (or only some, if you set up a filter) to your other address.
Good luck!

Mail app always starts with the standard account.

iPhone 5s
iOS 7.1.2
Mail app always starts with the standard account.
Can´t it start in the mail overview, where all different mailboxes are shown.
iPhone 4 did it..
Opens in standard account:
Should open in MailBox-Overview: (here just one mailbox)
7.1.2

After some searching I have found a solution. I had to delete the contents of the following folder:
~/Library/Mail/myemailaccount/.OfflineCache/
Note: replace "myemailaccount" with the appropriate folder on your computer that represents your e-mail account. Once I deleted the contents of this folder (there were 2 files), and restarted Mail, there were no problems.
Hope this helps a few people in the future!

10.6.7, hardware failure but the hard drive is intact. I can access the hard drive via Linux. Need to get mail from Mail.app and from Entourage 2004.

I need to know a couple of things, but y'all may not have all the answers I need.
First, I need to know how to retrieve the mail files from Mail.app and from Entourage 2004. I don't know if this is a valid asusmption, but in my experience with Windows, I know that Outlook keeps everything in a single monolithic .PST file. Is this the case with either Mail.app or with Entourage?
Second, I need to know how to access said mail files in a Linux mail app. The mail from Mail.app is more important than that from Entourage, so it has to take priority. Will I need some sort of converter program, or is there enough similarity between Mail.app and one of the Linux mail applications that I can simply import it? (BTW, I'm running Ubuntu Linux 11.04 on my Linux netbook. I wish there was some way I could get Snow Leopard on here.)
Any advice on any of this problem will be extremely helpful. Thanks.

I have it running on one of my single core netbooks.
WIth your other problem, just borrow a Mac temporariy, drag a enclosure to a Apple Store and use one of theirs, they don't mind as they have Deep Freeze installed on all their machines so changes don't stick upon rebooting.

You copy them from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
The iphone is not a backup/storage device.

I downloaded a word file from an inbox mail (the mail app) onto my iPad2, where is this file stored? How can I delete it if it takes up space in my iPad? Any ideas??

Did you ever figure out what happened?
I had the same experience as you did, but in my case it was a big fat pdf that Mail insisted I had to download before I could view it. As happened with you, I saw the file actually downloading, and after a time I was able to view the pdf. It's been my assumption that the pdf is still somewhere on my iPad, but I have no idea where, nor how to delete it if it is still there.
Thanks.

Since upgrading to 10.8 I've had alot of issues burning DVD's. I've had the drive replaced and now I can burn from a new user account but not the old one. Is there any way of making the old one work?

Just want to avoild spending hours migrating everything across....

Yes, I can read but just can't write DVD's. I get:
This disc can’t be verified and might be unreliable. Try again using a new blank disc (error code 0x80020063).
Originally I thought it was the old Moutain Lion DVD drive issue (but have had the drive recently replaced by Apple), so I tried creating a new account, which worked.
In the old account I have reset SMU, Pram... but no change.

How do I export addresses from my Earthlink webmail account to my Mac's address book?

Having trouble exporting addresses from my Earthlink webmail account to my Mac's address book. Won't accept the CVS file. How do I do this? Earthlink does not give me any options--it automatically creates a CVS file when I hit "export."

The tweaking comes after you have a working csv file which you don't yet. Just to be sure, here's what I did to get mine: In Earthlink webmail, click Preferences -> Address Book Tab -> Import/Export Address Contacts -> Export Address Book. Hopefully that presents you with this dialog box:
I did Save File, not Open, and put it on my desktop. Then launch Apple Address Book -> File -> Import, and navigate to your desktop and select the csv file. It has to have ".csv" at the end of the name as the correct file type. If you do all that and still get the same error message, something else is wrong. If it's still bad, check the csv file on your desktop, try to open it with Excel for Mac or some other spreadsheet program and you should see all the data - names, addresses if any, email addresses, etc.

Mail.app reply from .Mac alias

I remember in Tiger this was difficult to get working as the .Mac smtp server forever complained about authentication. When I clean installed Leopard using my .Mac id to retrieve my details I was amazed to find all aliases on the account suddenly available in the From dropdown of Mail.app. I'm not sure when but at some point these became unavailable again, vanished. What do people do with .Mac aliases to be able to use them in Mail? Adding an alias to the Email Address in Prefs/Accounts in the format [email protected], [email protected] just makes smtp.mac.com complain.
