Send using diffeernent from addresses in Mail

Hi, have asked around and everyone seems to be scratching their heads on this so thought I'd fire an email off to someone who might know!
For a long time I have been forwarding different emails to my gmail account as a sort of catch-all, and in Mail on my Mac setting up the gmail IMAP account by writing the addresses in the relevant field as such;
[email protected], [email protected]
and so on. This gives me a drop-down menu when replying or writing a message in Mail to choose which address to send from.
My question is how, or indeed if, this is possible on the iPhone. I have the gmail IMAP setup fine, but I cannot type a comma in the account address field and so this functionality is not there. Unless I am mistaken?
Hopefully that made sense!

See the “UPDATE” box here for a solution that might work: http://gjg.gd/0DVHZfQt

MAIL WILL REPLY, BUT WON'T SEND FRESH EMAILS FROM ADDRESS BOOK

HI, Recently set up my pop3 account on mail. And hit a problem. Mail will receive emails, will send "REPLYS" but will not send fresh emails from address book or even if i type them in manually.
This is so stupid.
Help guys, Thanks
Liam

You should set it to Port 465, and select SSL, assuming this is the smtp.gmail.com server. Your ISP is probably blocking use of such a SMTP on Port 25, and that is very common policy.

Uses incorrect from address

Using Thunderbird mailer on laptop with M1217nfw wireless hp printer.
Eprint is picking up the "received from" field from the header file instead of the "From" address hence it will not print the attachments being sent. As you know the received from field is a long list of all the hops the messages take thru the network.
How can I get Eprint to use the From address for security comparison?

The thing is the ePrint spam filters don't just read the from section to check for spam, it also checks the suject line, so, if there are forward or reply tags in the subject line, ePrint see the message as spam. You'll need to remove all those tags before the messages will get through.

Multiple POP/SMTP Accounts Bug - Mail uses wrong 'from' address

I've be scratching my head over this but can't see anything else wrong so I figure it must be a bug with Mail 4.2:
I have multiple POP3/SMTP accounts configured, lets say:
[email protected], to receive on pop.blah1.com and send on smtp.blah1.com
[email protected], to receive on pop.blah2.com and send on smtp.blah2.com
If I create emails sourced from [email protected], they are sent just fine.
However if I try to email from [email protected], I get a pop-up telling me that smtp.blah2.com is offline and I need to select another SMTP server.
I checked the server settings a hundred times over and also resorted to telnetting to port 25 of blah2.com to ensure it was full working (yes it was!).
[Even Connection Doctor thinks the servers are all good]
So next I try telling emails sourced from [email protected] to send via smtp.blah1.com - Eureka, it works!
But this is a little odd - so I check the received email headers and compare these with the 'Sent' header.
It appears that mail thinks its sending the email from [email protected] but the email actually ends up being sourced from [email protected]!
So I can only presume that Mail is marking the smtp.blah2.com server as down because it is trying to use the wrong source address when sending a message and therefore being refused by the SMTP relay.
Has anyone else seen this?

Thanks chaps,
The other accounts are direct POP3/SMTP to my hosted servers - they are not passing through GMail and so it couldn't cause the issue.
I have, however, found the problem inadvertently while trying to run a comparison with Thunderbird - the good news is, its not Mail as such, though it does raise a couple of other questions...
Basically, whichever SMTP server is running on my hosted servers, it does not allow a message with no text in the body, while Google's SMTP implementation clearly does.
As my test messages only had a subject line, they were failing on my servers but working OK with GMail.
The questions therefore are:
1. Shouldn't Mail pad an empty message to ensure it goes (MS Outlook works fine with empty messages but interestingly Thunderbird also doesn't)
2. Even assuming its OK to use GMail's SMTP as a relay, shouldn't Mail use the correct source address rather than making it look like the emails came from my GMail account?
- I'm not sure if this is 'allowed' with modern SMTP from a security perspective but I think that some services support it.
Thanks for all your input!

How do i change the sender / from address in mail? (MS Exchange)

I have set up an MS exchange account in Mail. In OSX Snow Leopard I could change the from address. This is necessary because my account username address is not the main address I use (I work in a company's sub division). So my from is not correct generally, and it's also annoying because my own address pops up when I do a reply all.
Any suggestions?

You can fix this problem by adding an entry into a file on your mac. You have to add an alias, but manually so by editing this file below:
I finally found a solution. You can edit this file where USERNAME = users acutal account on the mac:
Close Mail.
Go to:
/Users/USERNAME/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/accounts.plist
Under this:
            <key>EmailAddresses</key>
            <array>
                <string>[email protected]</string>
            </array>
Type:
            <key>EmailAliases</key>
            <array>
                <dict>
                    <key>alias</key>
                    <string>[email protected]</string>
                    <key>name</key>
                    <string>Name 1</string>
                </dict>
            </array>
Save version of file.
Open Mail.
I hope this helps - it seemed to work for me.

Using another from address for Gmail account in Mac OSX Lion's Mail app

Hi,
On my iPhone I've set up gmail as an Exchange accout and when I send an e-mail, my from address appears to be the one I select as default address in gmail preferences.
Is there any way to achieve this in Mac OSX Lion's mail application?
Regards,
Erdem Kucuk

Hmmm, not sure what is going on, but from the Mail log, neither of those IPs have a name associated with them, 1st one is in Netherlands, 2nd one is iin Africa!???
Any idea why it'd be looking those up?

In Mountain Lion can I use Contacts to address e-mail to several addresses at a time like I used to do with older system versions?

Is there a way to use Contacts to address and e-mail to several e-mail addresses at a time? In Mountain Lion with auto fill turned on, when I type the first letter of an e-mail address, the progress wheel just spins and spins and spins until it finally gives me a list to choose from and I can only select one at a time, then have to it again and again and again to send to several people. Is there another way?

Changing "From" address in Mail

I have a college email address that I get to keep and have been using that as my default. It is linked to a Gmail account, though, as the college does not provide a server for you after you graduate. You only get to keep the address. On gmail.com, it sends it from my college address (which is forwarded to Gmail), just the way I want. However, in Mail on my iPhone 5, it sends emails as the Gmail address, not my college address. In other words, I want to be able to send emails, from Mail, and have my recipients see it as being sent from my college address and not my Gmail address. I can do it on gmail.com, but can't in Mail. People think I have two emails and I want them to know I just have one and have it be consistent.
Thanks for your help!

Gmail is primarily webmail and, of course, I know that that option is available when you're logged into and using Gmail.com. Your father would be able to domthe same thing, I.e., use Safari or the Google app to operate directly at Gmail instead of remotely through a client like Mail.
The only other option I can think of would be to add his business account into Mail on the iPad, following the setup instructions in the User Guide. There is moding in Mail which allows you to assign any installed email address and outgoing email server to any message — Tapping the From: address shown in the message being composed pops a menu showing other options for the From field.

Email 'From' address in Mail

In OSX Mail.app, you can now select 'Custom' from the pop-up menu for Aliases and enter whatever you want, even if they're not Apple addresses. But, how can one do this in iOS? All I can see in iOS Settings for an iCloud type account is the list of aliases set up in iCloud on the web (something you actually cannot do from iOS bizarrely), which can ONLY be iCloud.com addresses. Am I missing something here?
At the moment it seems to me that Mail in OSX and iOS have entirely different capabilities. I need to be able to use different addresses to send From. I can do this when on my Mac, but I cannot seem to do that from any iOS device. With all the recent furore about Mavericks and iOS 7, I would have thought they might have noticed this glaring inconsistency.
Anyone know if it is actually possible to use alternate (non Apple) From addresses in iOS Mail?

I just checked something else. My mail account is a hotmail one, so I decided to log into hotmail proper and see how it displays there. The same thing happens on the hotmail site, so perhaps it's a sender issue.
That would mean that Mail takes its 'from' field from the sender's metadata rather than data that's on my machine. Is this how it works?

Msmtp sends with empty FROM address

Hello,
I set up msmtp, and the php mail function sends messages successfully, but the FROM address is missing.
I followed the howto at http://forum.slicehost.com/comments.php … ionID=2338.
Here's my sysconfig /etc/msmtprc:
account default
host smtp.mydomain.com
port 25
timeout 30
auth on
user [email protected]
password secret
auto_from off
from [email protected]
maildomain mydomain.com
tls off
logfile /var/log/msmtp.log
and the php code for sendmail:
<?php mail('[email protected]', 'test', 'hi, this is a test!'); ?>
Here's the mail I received using the php mail function:
From - Fri Sep 25 00:21:41 2009

Subject: test
hi, this is a test!
As you can see, the return address is correct, but the FROM envelope is missing the address.
Finally, here's the /var/log/msmtp.log entry:
Sep 25 00:21:39 host=smtp.mydomain.com tls=off auth=on user=[email protected] from=[email protected] recipients=[email protected] mailsize=58 smtpstatus=250 smtpmsg='250 ok 1254068455 qp 23429' exitcode=EX_OK
I also tried auto_from on in the config with the same results. What's wrong here?

Great, that works!
Another thing: If I have several accounts in my msmtprc file how can I select the one I want when I call the mail function?
not sure how php fits in... but
msmpt -a accountName
works for me. and adding to the bottom of ~/.msmtprc:
default : accountName
will set accountName to be used when no -a is passed.

SAPConnect :: FAX uses wrong FROM address

Hi guys,
We've successfully upgrade our old 4.6C system to SAP ECC6.
We still have a minor issue with sending faxes.
We've installed a Hylafax-server which will send the faxes using a modem.
On this Hylafax server, a mail relay server is installed as well.
Basically SAP (SAPConnect using communicationmethod FAX) will send an email to the Hylafax server with a PDF attached. This email will be received by the mail server and hylafax will fax the PDF attachment.
Hylafax will then send an email back to the address shown in the "FROM" field of the email to indicate whether the fax was sent successfully or not.
Now... everything works perfect, except SAP always sends the email to the fax server with "from" address "0000000000000000@<domain>" instead of the SAP user's emailaddres filled in using SU01.
The weird thing is that we tested this before the upgrade on a test SAP server, and it worked on the test machine..
Also, on the same SMTP node, using communication method "INT (internet)" it works perfectly.
But using communication method "FAX", this problem occurs.
Does anyone has any suggestions on what could be the problem?
At this oment I'm running out of ideas.
Many thanks in advance.

We have faced same/similar problem.
We use SAPConnect SMTP for fax. Faxes geet forwarded as SMTP mails to a fax service provider, and gets faxed from there. SAPConnect picks user's email address from user master as "Sender" address. It is working perfectly fine in R/3 4.7 production environment.
We upgraded the system to ERP 6.0 EHP4 on a sandbox server. Now the SAPConnect behavior changed. Instead of using the email address from the user master SAPConnect picks the Fax Number from the usermaster and forms the sender address as "Fax=+faxnumber@defaultdomain". Now our Fax service provider cannot recognize the sender, and rejects/drops it.
WORKAROUND: One workaround that we found was to delete the fax number from the user master. Now SAPConnect falls back to email address from user master. (SAPConnect trace shows "Sender address for communication method FAX not found", "Use e-mail address for sender").
Hope this helps.

Kuriakose Varghese

How/can I change the "from" address in Mail?

I just upgraded to Mountain Lion, and have come across a problem.
I use iCloud for my mail account, but I want to change the "from" address - so the return address on my messages is NOT icloud.
I could do this in Lion.
In the mail account settings, there's an option that says "alias" and it lists (me)@mac.com, (me)@me.com and (me)@icloud.com, and then "custom" is an option.
Great!
So I choose Custom, and then I can type in the "from" address that I want.
However, when I go to save those changes, it tells me the SMTP server can't be left blank.
What?
It's not blank! I didn't touch it. The icloud server is still there!
Furthermore, it's greyed out, so even if it WERE blank, it's not like I can edit it!
Once this happens, the only fix is to delete the whole account from mail, and to disable mail in the icloud control panel, then re-add it.
Has anyone figured out to work around this?

Apple's outgoing mail server - just like 99.9% of all other SMTP servers, does not allow "relaying", meaning you use a domain in the 'sent from' address that is different from a domain hosted by the server. The simple reason is to make it harder for any spammer - not assuming you are one - to abuse the server. While bandwidth, server capacity and server load are some issues, the main fear for ISPs is to get blacklisted, and consequently mails from such server being refused by all others.
It's a general rule, and while exceptions might be technically possible, it would be a manual act which at a certain rate would become unmanageable.
If you want, read about the antonym, open mail relay servers, here.
You see, it's actually good behavior and absolutely in your interest to prevent you from using a "non-in-house" 'sent from' address.

1. Double click on your composite receive activity.
2. Go to Properties tab in your receive activity.
3. Click "+".
4. Window that pops up,scroll down and select "jca.ums.from" and store it in some variable say fromAddress (Make sure before adding this property u create fromAddress variable of string data type).
5. Click OK.
6. In the same way add property for "jca.ums.msg.content-description" from drop down and assing it to some variable.
you are good to go.
Hope this helps.

Bug in decoding of From-addresses in Mail.app

Dear all,
since quite some time there is a bug in Mail.app, which leads to problems in replying to certain mails. The bug is similar (or the same) as in thunderbird 2 (see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=254519), which was fixed in Thunderbird 3.
If a "From:" line encoded with RFC 2047 contains characters which should, per RFC (2)822, be quoted (because it contains commas (",") or similar) Mail.app does not decode it properly but treats (in the case of a comma ",") this as two different addresses. A reply to such a message usually results in a bounce or error (since the first part is usually not a valid address).
An example for such a "From:" line is:
From: =?iso-8859-1?Q?M=FCller=2C_Henry?= <[email protected]>
This is correctly encoded and thunderbird 3 and (I hate to say this) outlook treats this correct.
Maybe someone from apple reads this and there is a chance to get this fixed soon, since it is rather annoying and causes a lot of user questions to our helpdesk. Or is there another easy fix (without changing the "From:" address.
Best regards,
Damian

How do you send a document from ibooks to mail?

Could I find out how to send/attach a document from ibooks to mail?

Wow. You got me there. All of the pdfs that i have, when i tap that icon, open a drop down window with the choices of e mail or print. I wonder if the particular pdf you are working on is somehow protected? Try a different pdf and see if the box recats the same way. You might also do a full shut down and just try again. Make sure there is not an old instance of i books, or some other pdf editor sitting in the task bar, by doblue clicking the home button, and shutting down any open apps.
