Sending from a MobileMe alias on iPad?

Hi, I want to know if its possible to send email from iPad using an alias you can create on MobileMe?
ie, on MobileMe web interface you can go into settings and create any @me.com address, and then it's available in to use in the 'from' field when you compose an email.
So it's not a case of adding a whole new MobileMe account into the iPad, it's sending from an alias in my current, main profile.
Is it possible to do this on iPad? I'm guessing in typical Apple style it isn't...

Reason is, Michael, unless the alias accounts are created, the alias 'from' address does not appear in my pick list
And yet, neither I nor the many others doing it this way have created any sort of an account for the aliases but are nevertheless able to use them is exactly the way described.
However with two aliases (plus the actual account), the iPad is now receiving three copies of everything to my .mac address?!
This should not surprise you — you have set things up to receive the same message to three different accounts.
Now I'm lost. If I switch off synchronisation of email for the alias account(s), I again lose the ability to send mail from it. Drat. I know there is a way. There must be a way. Next?
Sorry, but Next must be Last. I can't think of anything else to be done on the iPad itself. Externally, and just working from memory here, I'm fairly sure that MobileMe itself would have to be set up so that the desired aliases are active, and in iTunes I think you may have to use the option to sync over all mail accounts and settings or whatever looks similar to that.
In any event, it's something which merely happens. Keep working at it and you'll get there. Start by getting rid of the two extra accounts.

HT5887 Can I use airdrop to send from my mac to my iPad?

I am trying to send files via airdrop from my mac to my iPad both are equipped with airdrop but cannot seem to send between the two. Can someone help?

As far as I know AirDrop currently only works OS X<->OS X or iOS<->iOS, not mixed. But it would be cool if it did…

How to send from an email alias in Outlook?

Hi,
We have created several email alias for some partner teams here in the UK but shared with Romania (i.e [email protected]). We have approval for them to work externally and this seems to be working fine.
The question is how to send from this alias in beehive/outlook? In Thunderbird it is possible to do this via Tools > Account Settings > Manage Identities
Have briefly searched these forums but cannot find anything so any suggestions appreciated.
Regards,
Rich W.

Rich,
If this is a generic account then it should have a login to the system involved and Thunderbird allows the identity swap on the fly - To get Outlook to do this you would have to set up a new Profile in the Windows Mail app in the control panel and then close Outlook and re-open it with the new profile. Outlook unfortunately has no simultaneous access to different accounts - it is a single stream app (Microsoft decided on this approach, not us, so we have no control).
Sorry, I can't be more help.

Can you send from a Hotmail alias?

1) I have aliases set up in Hotmail. 
2) I set up related Identities in Thunderbird (using IMAP). 
3) I select an alias above in Thunderbird as the "From" when sending mail. 
4) Mail is sent from the wrong alias! (recipient sees the wrong "From" address) 
Hotmail seems to only send as its default send-from, regardless of which From identity was selected in Thunderbird. Is there any way to properly send from Hotmail (a.k.a. Live or Outlook) aliases? 
Thank you for reading!

I'm just confused as to why you thought your article was relevant here. It does not seem to address my question in any way. Thank you anyways.

Can Mail be configured to allow sending from a different alias/personality?

I have an IMAP mail account with Fastmail (fastmail.fm). That account is being used as a virtual domain to host e-mail from my real domain name... so mail sent to *@mydomain.com is going directly to the Fastmail servers/account.
On Fastmail, I can setup multiple personalities (i.e. [email protected], [email protected], etc) that I can both receive AND send mail from.
Without having to configure different accounts in Mail (since they're not separate accounts), is there a way that I can get separate addresses to send mail from, so that I can select in the FROM drop-down in the compose window if it's "[email protected]" or "[email protected]" etc? This works out-of-the-box for .Mac accounts...
Is this possible?
Thanks

Ernie,
You beat me to the punch... I was just about to reply with a follow-up asking if there was a way to do just that. Looks like I may need to use the separate accounts option in order to allow my to have Full Name information that is more helpful. For now, it won't be a problem because I only need 2 different addresses. If that changes in the future, however, I can see how it would be a problem.
It would be simple if I could add a comma-separated list of Full Names in the Full Name field (in the same order as the list of addresses) and have them match up.
Hmmm... might have to try that, just to see if it would work!
Thanks again.

Ical sending emails from old email alias that was deleted, or from another email address

iCal, when I send a meeting invite is sending from an email alias that I no longer have. It was originally sending from one of my other email accounts, however, after deleting that account from my mac, iphone, ipad it now send from an email alias that no longer exists.
Information that could help.
1. I had DotMac and then MobileMe and now iCloud
2. I had 5 email aliases when on MobileMe
3. I deleted three of them after arriving to iCloud
Things I have done
1. Delted the other email account that it was sedning from.
2. Deleted my iCloud accout on the computer, and then set it up again
3. Deleted "My Address Book Card" and setup a new one for myself and indicated that was my card
4. Deleted ALL but one email address on that card
5. I am running latest updates of MacOS and all updates on iOS devices
HELP... it looks very unprofessional to be getting email addressses from an account that they cannot repond to.
Where it Gets Weird
1. They can accept the meeting invite and it wll record it as accepted
2. But they cannot contact me at that email alias.

I have the same problem -- the ical event alert notification goes to an email address from a previous correspondent. I have deleted his name from previous recipients, I have deleted his card from contacts, I have checked all the places where I am the default email and that appears okay. BUT STILL his email shows up in ical's alert notification. HELP!

Can not set up messages to send from Macbook Pro to Ipad

Hello everyone,
I am having trouble sending from MacBook pro Messages to Ipad. If I send a message from Ipad, it shows up in Macbook, however if I try to send from Macbook, it tells me "Your message could not be sent. Your message account is not signed in " SO I press sign in and a dialoque window pops up and I can see that I am actually signed in with my apple ID, and the acount is enabled. However it also shows that "Messages Inactive" and when I go to Messages menue, I can not even change my status.
I have checked the firewall, its off. Please enlighten me, I am starting to feel like I am loosing it with technology

I am having the same problem. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I called apple restored my phone to its original and it did not work :-( Now it seems like it worked for a bit than stopped again. Now I have to contact Apple again to set up an appointment at an Apple store because it may be an issue with my phone. I have only had it for a week and half!

Sending from iCloud alias in Mail

I started using iCloud today and registered several aliases for different purposes. I would like to be able to send messages from these aliases with Mail on my MacBook. When I compose a message, I can choose to send it from one of the aliases, but then when I press Send it will take ages and eventually ask me to choose a different server to send it from ("Cannot send the message using the server iCloud (iCloud)"). I tried adding my aliases this way (support.apple.com/kb/ta23485) but it didn't make a difference.
Incidentally, when I try sending a message from one of my aliases with my iPad, it does send the message from the actual alias, however the name is displayed as my Apple ID name, not as the name I gave the alias....
Are these just temporary glitches? Or is there something in the settings I'm missing?

Use the OTHER option instead of iCloud or MobileMe. Use the alias as the email address. Incoming mail server is mail.me.com. User name and password is your primary acct name. Outgoing server is smtp.mail.com.

Sending from an Alias in Mail 3.5?

How can I send from an Alias in Mail 3.5?
The "from" pop down menu doesn't list my 2 aliases? only my main .mac account
Thanks for any help anyone can provide!

As for what I think you are asking, re second paragraph, the answer is found in:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA23485
Add the alias addresses in manually as you would always have done with those that were not .Mac.
You are correct that you cannot actually edit text wise, but you can activate or make an alias inactive, and add new ones in the online Preferences display, or enter full Name specifics -- that is what is meant in the preferences in Mail by "Edit".
You have installed the MobileMe panel into System Preferences, haven't you?

Mail.app - Gmail - IMAP - alias send from

I recently upgraded my OS and switched from POP to IMAP. Now I am no longer able to send an email through Mail.app for a imap gmail account FROM an alias.
[email protected] IMAP
me@domain - forwards to [email protected]
I want to be able to send from me@domain
I used to be able to do this with POP on a previous OS, now I don't know if it is the OS or mail protocol change that is preventing this, but all my emails show up as me@gmail even when I select a custom 'from' in mail.app
Thanks!

As jeremyScout replied, I don't think it's a matter of settings on gmail. I already send emails using an alias on gmail but on my ipad 4th gen I can't send them using the alias and I didn't found a solution yet.

Choosing Alias for email send from iPhone

Hi,
how can I choose an Alias for emails send from the iPhone, like I do in Mail on my Mac?

If you are using MobileMe the iPhone does not support sending emails from alias's.

Mail: How do I chose an alias email address to send from?

Is there a way to chose from my alias email addresses, to override the default MobileMe account email address, when replying to a message?
iPhone OS 3.1.2

Thanks. That answers my question, but doesn't help my situation. Not much sense in having alias emails, other then with my MAC/MobileMe, if I can't use them from my iPhone. I have to wait until I return home to reply if I don't want to send from my main email.

turn your ipad off by holding the sleep wake button for 5 seconds and slide to turn off then turn it back on and the apps should be finished and if the apps didnt finish just redownload them

On 3G we cannot send emails from either our iPhones or iPad and this also happens with some WiFi connections but not all. Yet we can always send emails from our Hotmail Email account. What is causing this and what do we need to do to resolve it?

On 3G we cannot send Business emails from either our iPhones or Ipad and this also happens with some WiFi connections but not all. Yet we can always send emails from our Hotmail Account using both 3G and WiFi.
We bought the iPhones and Ipad so that we could send emails while we are out of the Office, but we are not able to do this unless we can find a WiFi connection. Incoming emails are fine. We use IMAP, for Business emails just incase this is relevant and I know that Hotmail is POP3.
Our technical IT knowledge is not great, so we look forward to your suggestions as to how to resolve this.

Contact whomever supports the email account and get the correct Outgoing email server settings from them.
