Please help with setting up native mail app using Gmail with alternate email address

I have an alternative email address setup such as [email protected] configured to use with my online Gmail account. In the online account, I use the alternate email services smtp server so emails are sent correctly from that alias.
Is there a way to setup the native mail app to use Gmail for mail, contacts, and calendar and use an alternate email address as the sender? Right now I am syncing contacts and the calendar through the native mail app and using the Gmail mail app for my email. It allows you to select from all of the emails setup on the Gmail account.
But for simplicity sake, I would like to consolidate to the native email app for all of my accounts - I also have an Exchange based work account.
Thank you for the help.

With Yahoo Mail, and anotare account (Inacap Mail), I can only receive mails but I can't send emails. I don't know if this is a problem of the iPad or it is a problem with yahoo mail, because using Gmail and the email of my job I don' have this problem.

Google them to confirm the settings that you need for the outgoing server, then check the setting you entered on the pad. Pay real close attention to the outgoing server name, and port. You may need to change in on the pad.

Garbled messages in Mail.app (using Gmail IMAP)

Several of my archived messages in Gmail are displaying with garbled headers in Mail.app, which is configured to access my Gmail account via IMAP. Here's what the headers look like:
------=NextPart_000_001601CA70CE.4D0AAE80
+Content-Type: text/plain;+
charset="us-ascii"
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit+
And here's an excerpt from the body:

Note that the message displays perfectly in Gmail on the web.

Yesterday I tried to move all my messages from Gmail to MobileMe to work around this. I created a new label "Archive" in Gmail web and marked all my mail in "All Mail" with this label so they would show up in IMAP. In Mail.app I disabled "Move messages to Trash" to avoid having them deleted.
Unfortunately I could not move my messages, around 1 out of 50 had the problem described above, so MobileMe did not allow me to upload them because of the missing headers. These were old messages, never opened by Mail.app earlier, and it was true that they missed some headers: they were exported from Outlook and Opera Mail years ago. But still they had all the header fields a mailer would display (To, From, Cc, Subject). Anyway the fact Mail.app cannot display these properly is perhaps acceptable in this case.
However the problem being unable to display certain recently received, archived messages on my Gmail account still applies. Those messages were not modified in any way, only Gmail and Mail.app were used to access them.
Needless to say, the old messages mentioned above that went through Outlook and Opera Mail look OK both on the web and in Thunderbird, too. At least I knew that I realized early that I could not move all messages this way to MobileMe. I am going to try moving my messages again with Thunderbird now.

IMovie and iPhoto App Store update has alternate email address for user name. how do I fix this??

The most recent updates to iPhoto and iMovie, that are in the App Store updates, has my alternate email address for my user name. I can't log into the update because I don't know the password. I have changed my user name to reflect the correct email address, but it still prompts as the alternate email address. Any ideas as how to fix??

Need help with setting a default mail app

My computer is defaulting to gmail even though I have set Mail as the default application in both my gmail notifier and within Mail itself. I tried installing DefaultApps to force things, but it also shows Mail as the default. But when I go to click on an email address on a webpage it still opens gmail.
Anyone have any suggestions?

Sam,
Since I have never made any setting to use Gmail vs Mail, tell me where that selection was made? Have you installed anything that makes that selection available in Mail Preferences/General/Default Mail Reader?
You might try quitting Firefox and then open Home/Library/Preferences and locate the file named org.mozilla.firefox.plist and drag it to the Desktop. Then restart Firefox and test again.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

Had the same problem and the same message -- was suddenly unable to access icloud apps on my pc, also using Windows 7 and Internet Explorer. After several days of pulling my hair out, decided to try a different browser and was able to get in by using Firefox instead of Internet Explorer. Hope this helps.

GMAIL on Native Mail App

I set up my Google mail in native mail app as a Google mail account and everything worked for a couple weeks. Now the mail app is only pulling mail from 2011 and older. I set up my mailbox on a couple other collegues iphones and have the same issue. I downloaded the Gmail app and checked Gmail through Safari on my phone and the account is fine. The current email is in my inbox. My desktop is the same. The issue is just with the mail app on IOS 8 and it was working for 2 weeks with no issues. I didnt make any changes. HELP!

Not seeing the problem on either my iPhone 6 or iPad Air. Have you tried deleting the account in Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendar? It's a good first step in troubleshooting email issues. However, given that you've tried to set up the same account on other phones, it may not do any good. Are you using the default settings for Google when you set up the account?

Unable to run native iOS7 Mail app and Gmail app at same time on iPhone 5s

Got a new iPhone 5s. Installed the Gmail app, it collects mail just fine. BUT I'd like to run the native Mail app that came on the phone at also, as a backup...just in case. The native Mail app keeps telling me that either the username or password are incorrect. Anyone with help to fix this would be appreciated. Thx.

That would be a gmail issue. From other threads there is a two-step verification when using gmail..Log into your account on a browser and double check the security.

I can't delete e-mail from Apple's native mail app. I am using Gmail.

I cannot delete mail from Apple's native mail app. I can do this in Gmail; but when I switch to the native app, it does not work.

Hello ike39
For issues with Mail, check out the first article below for general troubleshooting steps to get it working again. Also, is it archiving emails instead of deleting? Check out the second article to see if that is set properly.

First go here - https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/ and login under the manage tab. Check your information and be sure it is all correct.
An AppleID is nothing more than an email address, so if you see another email address in the store, then someone has logged in with a different AppleID than yours. Did you let someone else use your iPhone?

Are you using a Microsoft or Apache web server? If so, you can submit to a server-side script, which will bypass web mail and client-side email software such as OUTLOOK.

Did you turn off all email notifications as the second tutorial describes?
If you turned them all off and are still getting notifications, what do you see when you try to turn them off again? Has your account been reset to continue recieving the notifications? Or is is still set to off?
Let us know.

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)

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!
