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.

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?

How can I send from multiple email aliases & names?

Hi, I wish to achieve the same result as the OP at http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=112689 and by following the useful guides in that thread, am able to achieve what I want... sort of.
Basically, I have one POP account/mailbox, and only one.
However, I use 3 email aliases for different work purposes, e.g.:
Fred Blogs <[email protected]>
Dr F Blogs <[email protected]>
The Surgery <[email protected]>
Now, according to the advice, in Mail I can create one Mailbox, and under 'email address' in Mailbox Preferences, enter:
[email protected], [email protected], [email protected]
This works fine as far as it goes, and I get a drop down when creating new mail, however, all 3 'aliases' come from the same person's 'Name' - the 1 name I entered in the mailbox preferences in Mail.
No, what I need to achieve is to be able to send email from the 3 different names as well as email addresses, not just 3 different email addresses all with the same name.
This was a doddle under Outlook, you just create 3 accounts with the same SMTP server, but set 2 of them not to receive email (otherwise you'd end up with 3 lots of each incoming email from that 1 shared mailbox).
Mail however is not having any of it, and won't let me create duplicate accounts. I have even tried adding the full name in the email address field of settings, separated by commas: Fred Blogs <[email protected]>, Dr F Blogs <[email protected]>, The Surgery <[email protected]>. That didn't work either.
How can I achieve what used to be quite a simple process on my PC? I can't be the only person who uses one unified mailbox account, but sends from different aliases?
Thanks.

Thanks, but the issue occurs when I am trying to set up the 2nd account and get to the Incoming Mail Server Page.
Because I am using the same Incoming Mail Server and User Name as the 1st account, when I click Continue it reports:
/!\ The account "Account 1" already has this hostname and username.
It then won't let me continue. Now it sounds like you have the same setup, so do you have the same hostname and username in all your multiple accounts? :-S
The reason it does this is - I suspect - because even if you untick 'Include when automatically checking for new mail', when you manually check for new mail, you'd still get 3 lots of the same message. How do you get around this?

Adding attachments to the mail send from XI

Hi all,
How can we add attachments to the mails send from XI?
Regards,
Satpreet Singh

Hi
Do the Mail Receiver Adaptor Configuration as mentioned.
Choose any of the options suiting to your requirements. All the options shall give attachments in one way or the other.
1) Choose Message Protocol   = u201CXIALLu201D
The mail will go to the address mentioned in Mail Attributes in the adaptor as two attachments. The file something like ATT123.xml will contains all the system information and another file u201CpayloadXXXu2026..xmlu201D will contain the input file you give.
2) Message Protocol =   u201CXIPAYLOADu201D with u201CMail Packageu201D
If we check u201CKeep Attachmentsu201D in u201CMail Attributesu201D then, the content will be sent as an attachment otherwise, the content will be sent as body of the mail.
3)Message Protocol =   u201CXIPAYLOADu201D without u201CMail Packageu201D
The content will go as attachment even though u201CKeep Attachmentsu201D is not checked. If u201CKeep Attachmentsu201D is not checked then the attached file name will be same as that of the subject we have given in the Subject in Mail Attributes.
If the checkbox u201CKeep Attachementsu201D is checked, then the attachment file name will be u201CPayloadXXXXu2026.xmlu201D irrespective of the input file name.

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.

How to check the success/failure of e-mail sending from Sharepoint?

Dear Expert,
I connect Exchange 2010 and SharePoint 2010. When user create workflow in sharepoint, it will send the email to confirm. if it's done. but I checked from user they didn't get the email. I would like to know how to check the success/failure of e-mail
sending from Sharepoint?
Thank you

By default, there is no logging mechanism in SharePoint for outgoing mails.
Mails in SharePoint are sent by giving an SMTP sever IP address in Central Administration. SharePoint never sends email directly. It relays or routes mails to the SMTP server. So, logging should be done in the SMTP server itself.
There is also another way of doing it. You can enable SMTP service of IIS for sending emails from SharePoint, which would also just relay the mails to an SMTP Server. But in this case, you can enable logging in your IIS SMTP Service. Please visit this blog
for more details.
In your case you need to check your exchange server for any failure for relaying mails.

Mail sending from wrong Mail.app gmail account

I've got about 5 different gmail accounts in Mail.app -- two are actual gmail accounts and three are @mywebsite.net that I host through Gmail.
Up until recently everything was fine but now it seems all my mail is being sent from one gmail account, regardless of which account I choose to send from.
To the right of the "From:" dropdown menu is another dropdown, but mine is filled with indistinguishable "Gmail" names, maybe there's a way to edit those to make it more clear?
I've just spotted there's a way to set a default "From" email address in the prefs but I'd prefer not to always send from the same address... as in, that's the point of having so many emails in the first place. I've already sent out a bunch of business emails from my personal accout and confused a whole lot of people so it would be great to have this sorted soon.
Thanks,
Connor

I just went through this with 4 email addresses, and the solution seems to be in how your SMTP servers are setup. Here's how to fix it:
Go into preferences and under the account tab, click on your first account.
In the "Outgoing Mail Server" dropdown near the bottom, click "Edit SMTP server list"
Go through each server in this list and 1) make sure it has a meaningful name and 2) that the correct login info is entered under the advanced tab. Mine were jumbled up, with some being identified as one account but having login info for another.
Once this is straightened out, select each email account (we're done with the SMTP list at this point) and select the server from the dropdown list that you just verified and check "use only this account".
Once all addresses are associated only with their servers, you should be all set. Now you won't have any account accidentally loging in with the wrong credentials just to send. Why this isn't the default functionality is beyond me.
Hope this helps.

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 sending from wrong gmail address

I have multiple gmail addresses that I send from: one for work and one for personal. The email addresses are very similar, but for an additional ".am" suffix on the username of the work account. When I want to send an email from my work account I switch the "from" field to my work address, but it still gets sent from my personal address. The only workaround I've found is to force the work address into my "reply to" field. This still has the mail coming from the wrong account, but at least responses to the mail go in the right account. I do not have this problem when sending mail from other domains, nor do I have this problem when sending from my iPhone. I have my Gmail accounts set up with identical POP settings.

For each account set the Outgoing server to be smtp.gmail.com:XXXXX - XXXXX being the user name you want send from.
Tick: Use only this server.
Now you should be a happy camper.
I tried that. It causes my outgoing servers to go offline, and I couldn't send mail from either gmail address. My current workaround is to send the mail from another domain. I don't know if there are any disadvantages to this down the line.

Change of ISP password stops mail sending from iPad

My ISP has a glitch in connecting to hotmail. They have incorrectly claimed to have fixed it but, in doing so, advised that some domain mail would not work without the domain mail password being changed.
I have changed the password in my desktop but changing it in my iPad mail has killed sending mail. Not only from my domain mail but also my personal mail and my gmail.
Failed mail goes into my personal mail, outbox. Very odd.
Nothing will go and the ISP help desk seems to be at a loss.
I can't check the outmail server settings on the iPad, though the in-mail is still correct. (How can I check the out gate, BTW?)
Anyone have a solution? To think one change - the domain mail password - could damage all mail.
Grateful for solutions, please.
Thanks
Ron

In the iPad, there seems to be no way to check whether the Out server port settings may have inadvertently changed, either.
As noted, yes there is an easy way to check the Outgoing server settings.

Mail sending from WRONG EMAIL

Hi. I'm using 2 gmail accounts and when I send an email from one, the user receives from my other account. It doesn't happen all the time, and has only been happening recently. It's strange because after the 1st time, I started checking that drop down box that asks which email I want to send from, and it is set correctly. This even occurs sometimes when I reply to an email, which by default will send emails from the address that the email was sent to. Also, I know something is wrong because 1 email address has a signature that states the email address it came from, while the other email address has no signature at all. When I get replies to the email I sent, it shows my signature, but is replied to my other email address. Has anyone else run into this issue? Are there any solutions? It's quite frustrating.

The pulldown menu in the message composition window that selects account doesn't select the smtp server for that account, you have to go into Mail Prefs to ensure which smtp server is associated with which account.
Go to Mail Prefs, Accounts and select each gmail account one at a time and check the following: In the Account Info panel, check that the outgoing mail server (smtp) is the one you think it should be.
I'm assuming that gmail requires a username/password to send a message; the server for each account would be listed something like: smtp.gmail.com:username1 for the first account and smtp.gmail.com:username2 for the second gmail account.
If they're not what they should be, open the outgoing mail server (smtp) pulldown menu and either select the correct server or choose "edit server list" and fix it. Also consider clicking the "use only this server" checkbox for both accounts.
Hope this helps.

E-mail sending from PL/SQL fails with SMTP error 550 must check for new....

We have a issue like this. We have a e-mail program (PL/SQL stored procedure which is called from a 10g R2 form) which sends e-mails using UTL_SMTP. It was working but suddenly from day-before-yesterday stopped working. Mail admin says he did not change any mail server paras.
The DB is in Linux so is the mail server. We finally did a code change. Now the mail goes to SMTP server but the mail does not go out of it (to a gmail address). We did a trace of the SMTP log and found out that it throws *550 [email protected] must check for new mail first* .
Here is the SMTP server log:
[192.168.0.6:25]

Wed 2012-04-25 19:20:11: Session 17159; child 1What could be the problem here? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Finally figured out the problem and fixed it. Now it is working.
*"must check for new mail first"* means that before sending mail you have to check your mails (i.e. download) your mails first from the mail server, because the normal setting is for SMTP servers is that you can send mail only if you received a mail. So, when you receive a mail (i.e. check mail), your IP is recorded in the SMTP server log. Now if you send a mail, only mails with the IPs which has received any mail will be allowed to send mails outside.
In order to only a send a mail without receiving any mail first you have to use SMTP authentication.
I.e. After
c := utl_smtp.open_connection(p_smtp_host, p_smtp_port);
utl_smtp.EHLO(c, p_smtp_host); You have to give UID/PWD for the SMTP server like this:
utl_smtp.command( c, 'AUTH LOGIN');
utl_smtp.command( c, utl_raw.cast_to_varchar2( utl_encode.base64_encode( utl_raw.cast_to_raw( p_un))) );
utl_smtp.command( c, utl_raw.cast_to_varchar2( utl_encode.base64_encode( utl_raw.cast_to_raw( p_pwd))) );However, when we sent like this we got a another SMTP error:
554 Message is not RFC compliant; missing "Date" header To solve this do this: Go to Setup -> Default Domain & Servers, Servers, uncheck ...refuse
messages which are not RFC compliant. That will allow MDaemon to accept the malformed messages without date headers..Doing this solved the problem. Now we can send mails to outside mail boxes (like Gmail). In Gmail, when we checked the inbox there was no mail. It had gone the Spam folder. This is also important since you have to check the spam folder since Gmail will think it is spam. Once the mail is flagged as "not spam" it will start coming to your inbox.

IMessage sends from different email addresses

iMessage sends messages from different email addresses when it used to just say my name associated with my cell number. How can I change it back?

Try this:
Sign out of iMessage on all devices. Sign back in on your iPhone. Wait until it is completely activated. Then, sign back in on the other devices using the same Apple ID.

E-mail sends from wrong e-mail address

However, the e-mail got sent by my main account (the one I also set to be my default account in the mail settings, however, I thought that was for times like sending a link from safari). So, I'm a bit confused, how do I choose which e-mail to send from, I thought you select the e-mail account and hit the button, but if I hit reply from one e-mail account, why did it send with the other?

Edit: If it matters, the the e-mail account that got the message I was responding was an att yahoo account, I heard people have had issues with push so I'm not sure if that's the problem, and my main e-mail is a gmail account. Though it did send, just from the wrong e-mail.

Quick Update:
When I send an e-mail from a different e-mail account (my other gmail account), it sends it from its own server. However, it still doesn't work with the att.net account. My yahoo account just doesn't send anything from anywhere, no traces.
