Question About using multiple email address w/ IMAP server

With apple mail in the account settings you can put multiple email address separated by a comma. This allows you to select your from address when sending new mail.
I have added this to the iphone mail settings but I dod not have the option to select what address I would like to send from. Is there a way to do this.? Thank you.

No, no chance of specifying a different FROM address unless you use the "Other" shortcut on the iPhone to create the mail account.

Error using multiple email addresses in IMAP account

Thanks for reading - any help, advice or direction you can offer is very much appreciated!
Here is my situation: I use a single IMAP account with several email addresses. If it's important to know, they are all set up as aliases, so I can receive mail in one single account at all of the addresses and can send email from any of the addresses through the same SMTP account.
This behaves radically differently in Mail (iPhone and iPad) under iOS 6 than it did in iOS 5, and I need the behavior I had in iOS 5.
I am seeking help in figuring out how to make iOS 6 Mail behave the way iOS 5 Mail did.
Here's how I set it up in iOS 5: I used the primary email address (also my login for the IMAP/SMTP account) to set up the account on the iPad. This all worked. Once it was set up, I went back to settings and added the other email addresses as a comma-separated list in the "email" field after the primary one.
Then, when I went to compose a message (from mail, or from any other app), the default "from" address was the primary e-mail address (the first one listed), and it allowed me to tap on the "from" field and select a different one.
This changed in iOS 6, like this:
I set up the account the same way as above. With just the primary e-mail address it was fine. But when I added the other addresses and saved it, it seemed to choose one address at random from the list as primary (not the first one, not the last one, not the one first or last alphabetically, just one in particular - and the same one each time I tried this). Then when I compose mail, it defaults to that alternate email as the "from".
So:
I need to have it default to the primary email address as the "from," I need to have all the alternate emails available to me to choose from, and I need to have it all set up as one account. I have tried to set up a second account on the iPad with all the alternate email addresses, but since the IMAP and SMTP logins are the same, the iPad won't let me.
Any ideas, suggestions, direction, solutions, etc. are very much appreciated!
Details: iPad 2nd gen. WiFi+3G, iOS 6

I think this is a bug, and I've reported it as such. More reports usually equals faster service: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
For now, I've come up with the following work-around:
1. Leave your multi-account as-is set up on your iPhone, but remove your preferred default e-mail address from the list
2. Set up a new e-mail account with IMAP access (i.e. Gmail or whatever)
3. Create a new IMAP e-mail account on your iPhone/iPad with the details of this new account for the IMAP (receive) settings, but with your original e-mail account's SMTP (send) settings. Also, set the "Email" field in the account setup to be your preferred default e-mail address.
4. Set this new mail account as the default in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars
Now, when you create a new message, you should see that your default "from" address is correct - since it is the only choice for the new mail account you set up in iOS. As long as the SMTP settings are correct, it doesn't matter that your IMAP settings don't match.
You should still be able to select any other "from" address as well, which will use your original multi-account settings, which are also correct.
All of your received mail will come in through your original multi-account inbox, and your new account's inbox will likely stay empty.
It seems like I'm forgetting a step here, but this should give you the right idea for a workaround if it isn't exactly right. Feel free to add corrections if you find them.

I have a question about using multiple ipads in our school. Each of our teachers have a iPad and AppleTV in their classroom. The issue is, with our classrooms so close in proximity to one another, is there a way to pair teacher #1 iPad to its AppleTV without effecting/projecting onto the adjacent teachers #2 classroom AppleTV?

Not as such.
Give the AppleTV units unique names and also enable Airplay password in settings with unique passwords for each teacher.

Can you use multiple email addresses on the owa app?

Can you use multiple email addresses on the Microsoft OWA App?

You can do it but there is a delay from the bluetooth speaker. You'll need an iphone or ipad using the Apple app "Control", airplay setup, bluetooth speaker, and an Apple laptop or desktop.
I used my laptop to connect to my bluetooth speaker so that sound streams to my bluetooth device. Then, on my iphone I opened Control and connect the music to my airplay and my laptop at the same time. The music goes to your airplay speaker, and then to my laptop which then blue tooths it to my speaker. But, as I said the bluetooth takes an extra step to stream it and so the music is not in sync. Its like a second and a half delay....

How can I use multiple email-addresses with "Administration Email Address"

What syntax should I use to have more email-adresses in the screen "Manage Service - Instance Settings - Email" after the field "Administration Email Address".
I tried:
- '[email protected]','[email protected]'
- '[email protected], [email protected]'
- '[email protected]; [email protected]'
- "[email protected]','[email protected]"
- "[email protected], [email protected]"
- "[email protected]; [email protected]"
Every time I get the ORA-29279 / 501.
Please help me with the right syntax for multiple email-addresses.
Thanx!
reg.
Chris

From a google search of the docs, it looks that that field is used as a FROM address... hence it's by definition only one address.
Administration Email Address - Defines the "from" address for administrative tasks that generate email, such as approving a provision request or resetting a password.

Multiple email address with one server account

Why can't Mail have multiple email addresses on one email account? Like Thunderbird calls them Identities. As I remember, Outlook also supports this. I like Mail but it seems rather dated and clunky in this respect.
I am using mainly IMAP so maybe I should switch to Thunderbird but I do still have some old messages in pop accounts in Mail.

You can have multiple accounts, but only one "identity." Configure new mail accounts for all the different email addresses you may have. They can each have different configurations, different servers, etc. as well as be individually made active or inactive. All incoming mail will funnel into a single Inbox, but you can use rules to transfer incoming mail to separate mailboxes based on the account.
What you cannot have are distinct "personalities."
Bear in mind that Mail is intended for a single user and the vast number of single users only have one email account. I actually have four different email addresses but three of them are set to forward mail to the account I use with Mail. Mail works quite well with IMAP, POP, and Outlook mail accounts.

Sending mail from mail.app using multiple email addresses?

I'm familiar with the strategy of going into the account settings and putting in another email separated by a comma. That works great and i've had much success doing that. The problem is when I compose a NEW message, it defaults to my...well...default email address. But when I reply to a previous message it gives me the option of picking and it works. When I compose a new email it also gives me the option of picking but it always defaults back to the original one. There is a setting in the compose section of the preferences that lets you pick what email you want it defaulting to. The problem here is that the dropdown box that lets me select my email only works when i'm replying, not composing. Which is a big problem.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Could you confirm what you mean by true alias? I'm not familiar with that you mean. Currently (to recap) i have multiple accounts linked to my gmail account (all gmail accounts) and i have it set up so i can pick the email address i want to use to send an email online in gmail. After setting up IMAP (not POP) i put in "[email protected], [email protected]" in the account settings which gives me the drop down box and allows me to select which email address i want to sent messages from within mail.app. Now i've sent multiple messages to friends to test this, and here are my results. When responding to an email if i select either of the drop down options it will send from that selected address. When composing an e-mail, even if i pick the options, it will default to my first e-mail address.
It just won't let me pick the one i want to send from when i'm composing a new message, but it will let me choose when i reply to an email. sort of a strange occurrence. I know there is an option under "compose" in the preferences that let me choose the DEFAULT e-mail, but i'm assuming that just picks the first e-mail to show up in the drop down. I'm just not sure why it only works when replying, not replying AND composing.

Question about using multiple iPods on the same PC

I've read the FAQs on this subject but I still have a couple of questions about multiple users with separate iPods using the same PC.
I want to use my family's desktop (A new Gateway with Vista, if it matters) for my new iPod Classic, but my father already has an iTunes account on there for his iPod. I know I can create a new user account on the PC and move iTunes to a shared folder so that we can share music, but will this second account be able to purchase music from the iTunes store or am I going to have to switch between Windows User accounts to make purchases and then move new songs into my separate iTunes account via the shared folder? Will it be its own separate iTunes account (separate user name, separate credit card used, etc.) or will it just be a second library that's dependant on the first?
I want to be able to have my own iTunes account, make my own purchases in it, and maybe occasionally share tv shows or something with my father.
If this can't be done, would I be better off just creating new playlists for our two iPods from the same library, or creating a second library on my Father's account?
Also, if I want to access things I've purchased from iTunes on this desktop in iTunes on my notebook, will I be able to?
I hope that made sense.
Sorry if these seem like silly questions. This will be my first iPod as I'm really excited about the 160gig and want to know if these things are possible.
Thanks in advance for any help

Hi, Wes.
Congratulations on your new iPod Classic and Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
For no particular reason, let's answer your last question first ...
... if I want to access things I've purchased from iTunes on this desktop in iTunes on my notebook, will I be able to?
The iTunes Store operates on a one download per purchase policy so you will have to copy the purchases from one computer to the other and make sure that you authorize the laptop to play the songs.
As to your first question ...
... will this second account be able to purchase music from the iTunes store or am I going to have to switch between Windows User accounts to make purchases ...
Whatever XP User Account you are logged in to doesn't really matter. What's important is which Apple Account you sign in to ... yours or your Dad's or - if you had my Apple ID and password - The Mimico Kid's for that matter. You can sign in to any Apple Account on any XP User Account. Or any computer for that matter.
Where the XP User Account comes into play is that it will determine where on your computer the purchases are downloaded. Files will be sent to the iTunes Music folder as specified in the iTunes Edit menu > Preferences > Advanced tab > General sub-tab. Default settings will have a different location for each User Account - C:\Documents and Settings\ user name \My Documents\My Music\iTunes - but if you've read this article in the Apple Knowledge Base, you will know you can change the location of the iTunes Music folder in each XP Account to a common location such as C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\My Music\iTunes.
Post back if all this hasn't been as clear as mud and you need anything clarified.

Wrong reply from, when using multiple email addresses

Apple Mail has this strange behavior. Maybe it is a bug.
I have 3 email addresses in Mail: [email protected], [email protected] and [email protected]
[email protected] is my primary email address, the other ones are from my co-workers.
Sometimes I get an email with my email address (among others) in the CC field and the other two in the TO field. When I press the Reply All button, Mail generates a new message. But instead of sending it from the [email protected] account, it tries to send it from the first email account what it found in the TO field of the original message. And it does not reply to any of the email addresses in the CC field of the original message.
I tried this with different domains. Same result. Tried it by forcing Mail sending mail from my account only. Same result.
What is going on here? Is it a bug?

Normally mail would create a new email using the top email address in your list of accounts. For example, in in preferences you accounts are listed like this:
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
then normally new messages would be sent from the top email address.

Someone used my email address to create an Apple ID. I logged in to appleid.apple.com and I changed the password because it is freaking me out. I want to report it to Apple but dont know how to go about it. I want the Apple ID deleted. How do I go about that? Is there also a way to ensure that the email address wont be used again by this person to create another Apple ID?
This is compounded actually by a Gmail issue. I have had this email address for ages, since the start of the beta. But lately in the last year or so, I am getting mail that seems to be intended for other people but it is using my email address. It is probably one of them who created the Apple ID.
