Need different but default Reply-to/From headers for specific mail accounts

I just migrated to a rMBP-15 from a Windows/MS Outlook environment. I love it so far. Just to be sure, my OS is OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.3 and Mail is 6.2
I am trying very hard to replicate below mail account setup scenario using Apple Mail. I have two issues.
I have 3 Gmail accounts - lets call it G1, G2, and G3.
Issue # 1:
I need to setup corresponding accounts on Apple Mail (say AG1, AG2, AG3) such that when I reply to emails in AG1, the Reply-to and From address fields in  my outgoing emails should be G1, and when I reply to emails in AG2, the Reply-to and From address fields in my outgoing emails should be G2. In this scenario Apple Mail always seems to default to only G1 (or G2, or G3) depending on which one is at the top (default). Even if I set up corresponding SMTP servers with respective email addresses, outgoing emails do not get transmitted unless I choose the default SMTP server, thereby resulting in always a single Reply-To and From email address for all my Apple accounts.
Issue # 2:
I have a forwarding email address (lets call it FEA) issues by my grad school that I use to forward to G3. When I use AG3 on my Apple Mail, I like to have a Reply-to and From address of FEA.
How can I resolve the above two issues? I was able to easily do this in Outlook. All my hours of online research points to only the Apple scripting command "defaults" that will change the Reply-to header for ALL my outgoing email, but not for specific accounts.
I am happy to provide more details if required, but please any help is appreciated!!

This is not possible with Apple Mail (although its possible with Outlook). So, with some additional research, I solved this by myself as follows:
For the Mailbox needing a different Reply-to and From headers, I logged into corresponding Gmail account directly, and then
1) Went to Settings
2) Accounts and Imports
3) Under Send Email As: I clicked on "Add another email address you own"
4) In the popup, I entered the email address I really wanted in my Reply-to adn From headers
5) Clicked on Next Step
6) I chose "Send through <yourdomain> SMTP Server" and click Next Step
7) Here I enter the details of my ISP SMTP server (smtp.verizion.net, Port 465, my userid/pwd)
8) And then back on Goggle Settings->Account and Imports I choose this email as the Default (I will have to validate the email address by entering a code I get on that email)
I am done.
Now I can use Apple Mailbox with a Gmail account, and never have my Gmail address appear on ANY emial to/from this Mailbox account. I do not even have to choose "Reply-To" header everytime in my outgoing email.

  • My itunes files were deleted. I was able to use an old back up file to restore some but new downloaded purchases from iTunes for the past 5 months weren't in the back up. How do I get those back since I've paid for them one before and use the same account

    My itunes files were deleted. I was able to use an old back up file to restore some but new downloaded purchases from iTunes for the past 5 months weren't in the back up. How do I get those back since I've paid for them one before? Can you redownload? If so, how?? Please help as I'm missing over 500 previously paid for and downloaded iTunes song purchases.

    This was EXACTLY what I needed about the purchases I made from my device. However, is there a way to re-download other ones you've made from a computer? Because I realized some of them were not just purchased from my device.
    This is a picture of what it looks like now:
    http://tinypic.com/r/107quxu/7
    As you can see, the stuff circled in red doesn't give me an option to download from Cloud Beta because it already says "downloaded".
    any way to get around that?

    You will lose the entire contents of your iDisk whether or not you migrate to MobileMe as there is no equivalent in iCloud and MobileMe will be terminated at the end of June. You will need to download any data which you don't have on your Mac already.
    Snow Leopard is not compliant with iCloud and most of the facilities will not work. You can migrate from MobileMe to iCloud at http://me.com/move even with Snow Leopard: when asked to confirm that your Mac is running Lion just lie and say 'yes'. Of course you won't be able to access iCloud directly from your Mac.
    If you have MobileMe mail set up to collect mail from external POP accounts you should cancel this before migrating, or you may find it still working in iCloud (where it isn't supposed to) and with no way of stopping it.
    This will be the situation with Snow Leopard when you have migrated:
    Your email, calendars, and 'Find my iPhone' will be migrated to iCloud. Contacts and Bookmarks cannot be migrated from a Snow Leopard Mac.
    Your iDisk, together with website hosting and Gallery, will continue to work as before until next June.
    Syncing of Dashboard Widgets, Dock Items and Keychains between Macs, and Mail Accounts, Mail Rules, System Preferences, Signatures & Smart Mailboxes between Macs & iOS devices, will cease altogether.
    You will be able to access email and calendars on the iCloud website at http://icloud.com provided your browser is reasonably up-to-date.
    You will not be able to sync contacts or bookmarks from a pre-Lion Mac.
    You will be able to enter the server settings for email manually in the Mail application and access your email.
    You will not be able to sync your calendars directly.
    Some people have been able to set up calendar syncing by using the method detailed here - this is an unsupported hack and may not be reliable, and may stop working at some future point.
    There appears to be no method of syncing contacts (though Address Book on a Mac can be synced with Google or Yahoo address books - I don't know how reliable this is).
    There are a couple of third-party solutions which may be of interest.
    BusyCal is an iCal-like calendar application with extra facilities: it can sync with the iCloud Calendar while running on Leopard, Snow Leopard or Lion. A single user licence (two machines allowed) is $49.99.
    Soho Organizer can sync Calendars and Contacts with iCloud on Leopard, Snow Leopard and Lion. A single user licence (multiple machines allowed) is $99.99.

  • Is it possible to keep an email account on the iPhone but stop if from checking for new mail?

    I have an email account that has been deleted from the provider (Gmail), but I want to keep the old mails on my phone, while stopping it from checking for new mail.  Is this possible? 
    If I disable the account to stop if from checking for new mail (and producing a bunch of annoying pop-ups every time the mail app is opened), the account becomes invisible and the old mails disappear.  I want to keep them visible to I can read and refer to them, but want to stop the phone from trying to download new ones or check the account.
    Any help appreciated. 

    Thanks for the thought.  In this case, that doesn't really help much, as it requires a bunch of button pushing just to check emails.  Plus, if I'm not mistaken, in addition to switching modes every time I check email, it also prevents the other accounts from downloading the most recent mails as well.  Since it's possible to keep an account on a Mac computer, but take it offline, it's very disappointing if there isn't a way to do the equivalent on an iPhone so that it passively holds the mails but doesn't send constant pop-ups every time the app is accessed.

    I have this same issue and I have tried doing as you suggested but it won't let me do that withought shutting off FIND MY IPHONE- but I can't turn it off without entering my old password for an old apple id. ....so thoughts?
    You're saying this is happening on a Mac??  Find My iPhone is a feature of iOS devices, not Macs.  If you are trying to change the iCloud ID on an iOS device, you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted.  If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • TS3276 I just upgraded to 10.8.2 and Mail is having a problem. It won't remember my password for getting mail; but it does remember the password for sending mail, i.e., smtp. Does anyone know of a fix?

    I just upgraded to 10.8.2 and Mail is having a problem. It won't remember my password for getting mail; but it does remember the password for sending mail, i.e., smtp. Does anyone know of a fix?

    The solution surprised even me, and we've been using Macs since 1984 (still have an original 128K).
    I contacted Apple support, and because we had just upgraded yesterday, clicked on the "exception" button as opposed to paying the $19.99 one-time support fee. An Apple tech called and the problem was solved in two minutes.
    Somehow during the installation of OS 10.8.2 (over 10.6.x) the key chain data for my email ISP login password got corrupted. The solution was to delete both the POP mail and SMTP entries in my keychain.
    Back to Mail, it asked for the POP password, I entered it and bingo, mail got busy downloading. Interestingly, the password was also entered into the SMTP panel.
    So, that's it. Thanks for you response, Mr. Hoffman, and regards.

  • Why are there pages about link installation problems but no reply support from blackberry

    and it appears impossible to contact blackberry as they only seem to refer you tyhis forum or via twitter to which i have no account or any idea how to use one if i did

    Hello,
    There is nothing new with what you describe. BlackBerry has NEVER provided direct-to-user support. Rather, all support follows the formal support channels -- which start with the carriers, authorized resellers, and authorized service centers (it varies by region and by issue), each who can escalate cases into BlackBerry if needed.
    This site has NEVER been an channel for any formal communications with, escalations to, nor support from BlackBerry for any purpose whatsoever. This site is a user-to-user community of volunteers who try to help each other out with various situations. But it is not a replacement for formal support, for that is (contractually) available via only one channel, and it's not here.
    Good luck!

  • How to set one default "reply-to" email address for multiple accounts

    I have an iPhone 3GS. I have my own domain name which I want to use as my primary "public" email address. It is forwarded from the hosting ISP to my ATT/Yahoo email address. I also have a Gmail account. I would like recipients to see that it comes from my domain ([email protected]), but since it is actually going through ATT/Yahoo, I can only see how to set the "From" field to either my ATT/Yahoo account or my Gmail account addresses. Is this even possible?
    Essentially, I don't directly access "[email protected]", but that's where I want it to appear to come from, regardless of where it actually originated.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Mark

    You get e-mails just fine, but do you have rights to log into the e-mail server at myfirstandlastname.com? If you can do that (check with your hosting ISP to find out if they will let you), then you can just set up the iPhone to use that e-mail server to send your mail. It's possible to set up an iPhone IMAP account to get mail from gmail, but use a separate non-gmail SMTP server to send outgoing mail, all within the same iPhone e-mail account.
    If you can get this working, then you won't need to mess with reply-to headers. Your e-mail will not only look like it got sent from myfirstandlastname.com -- it actually WILL be sent from there and all replies will automatically go there and then be forwarded as usual to your ATT/Yahoo address. No one will know that ATT/Yahoo is involved, and both your sent and received e-mail will show up in the same single e-mail account on the iPhone.
    I do this all the time with my e-mail. My account is really at gmail, but the e-mail address says it came from mycollege.edu. My old college offers me an alumni forwarding-for-life account. They only forward mail, though; they don't hold it. They do also run an SMTP server, though, and that's what I use to make my outgoing e-mail look as if it came from mycollege.edu.

  • Is there a way to set a default From address for my iCloud account?

    Is there a way to have mail use my .mac address as my preferred iCloud address?  I have mail configured to set the From header based on the account I'm accessing, so my work email will come from my work account, and my personal email will come from my personal account.  I'd like to keep that configuration.
    Unfortunately, I use my .mac address for my personal email, and Apple keeps attaching new, unwanted email addresses to my iCloud account (.mac.com, .me.com and now .icloud.com).  Mail somehow sees three addresses on my iCloud account, and defaults the From header to .me.com.   For a variety of reasons, including personal preference, I don't ever want to use the .me.com or .icloud.com addresses.
    Alternately, is there a way to delete the unwanted .me.com and .icloud.com addresses?
    Thanks

    I appreciate the reply, but it only gets me partway there.  I already have that option set to 'Account of selected mailbox' so that replies to email on my work account (a non-iCloud account) come from my work email address.
    My problem is my personal mail is on an iCloud account that, thanks to Apple, now has three email addresses associated with it.  So when I reply to a personal email,  the 'Account of selected mailbox' option frequently, but not always, chooses the wrong iCloud address for the From field.
    Ideally, I'd like to be able to tell Mail that it should use my .mac address for email from my iCloud account, and my work address for mails from my work account.  I'd like it to never use the .me or .icloud addresses.  I don't think there's an automatic way to do that.
    I'll likely end up filing a bug report with Apple.

  • Need to make a simple dvd from Habitat for Humanity video

    Hi,
    I work for a local habitat for humanity affilate.
    We are having our local fundraiser and I want to use 2 parts off the Habitat for Humanity's international video that they sent us...While I can just use their video I thought it would be nicer if I just had the 2 clips I needed on a separate dvd.
    How do I go about this??
    Thanks, Laura

    The source is a dvd.
    I need to take parts of the dvd off-and put them on a fresh dvd.
    I may need a slideshow in the middle somewhere.
    For instance the finished dvd will have 3 chapters, one video, one slideshow
    then one more video.
    so, step 1 is to convert the DVD content into something editable..
    depending on your version of iMovie, you have diff. options.
    esp. for converting just parts, Mpeg Streamclip plus the mp2 playback component (apple.com/quicktime, 20$) is the most recommended tool
    chapters usually mean 'bookmarks' in a movie..
    I would create 3 buttons in iDVD, to jump to each part indiviually ..
    allthough, you can produce a solid movie, with converted part1, slides, part2..
    all that is editing.. iDVD, as said is for encoding disks from movies ..

    Our iPad has three e-mail accounts set up and any time we want to send an attachment, iPad 2 defaults to the first account on the list (AOL).
    I've searched on-line but can't seem to find a way to get iPad to send the specified attachment from the account I specify. Is it possible?

    It sure would have been great if you could just select the email account from which to send it from at dropdown or something at the time you send it. But this works well enough.
    You CAN do that as well. I though that you wanted to change the deafult account.
    The next time that you want to send an email with an attachment - after you have the email up on the screen - tap on your email address in the Cc/Bcc/From: heading - the email headers will expand to show Cc and Bcc as individual spaces. Then tap on your email address and all of your email address will appear in a pop up window. Select the address that you want to send the email from.

  • Outgoing Messages from Alt. E-mail account

    I was wondering if someone might be able to help me with a quick question I have.
    As part of the Star Wars fan club (get your giggles out of the way now), I'm given an e-mail address. If someone sends me an e-mail, all it does is forwards it to the default address I have listed with Starwars.com.
    In the help section, it also explains that I can make messages 'appear' as if they are from my SW address. Here is the exact tip:
    To have your out-going email appear to be from your Star Wars email address, enter it in the "Reply to" field available under "Preferences" or "Options" in many email applications (including Outlook, Eudora, Netscape, Yahoo! Mail, Hotmail and others).
    Does anyone know where exactly in Mail I could this, or if it's even possible? SW.com hasn't really helped. Thanks.

    Select New for a new message.
    At the menu bar, go to View and select Reply-To Address Field.
    A Reply-To Address Field will be added to the message header and will be included when selecting New for a new message and when replying to or forwarding a message.
    You must enter the desired Reply-To address manually for each message.
