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?

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.

Send from Gmail alias in Mail.app in iOS 7?

I have a Gmail account with several email accounts that forward into it. I've configured Gmail on the web so that I can send email from those accounts.
I just set up this Gmail account in Mail.app in iOS7 on my iPad.
In Gmail on the web, if I receive an email to one of the accounts that forwards into this Gmail account, and click "reply", it will automatically send use that account as the "from" address (rather than the Gmail account).
Is there any way to specify this as a preference in Mail.app on the iPad? Otherwise I have to remember to manually change the "from" address when I reply to an email sent to any of the accounts that forward to my Gmail account.

I've not heard of or experience any such issue.
Have you tried removing and readding the accounts in question?

Sending from an alias - sbs2011

Hi
I have a client with SBS2011 and Exchange.
He obviously has his user account
[email protected] - however we have a security group that accepts emails external called
[email protected] - This is used for Accounts emailing so banks etc...
Up until now everything has been fine with him receiving those Accounts emails as part of his membership to the Accounts security group.
Now he wants to be able to email from [email protected] is there anyway to enable this easily? Obviously I know I could set him up another mailbox, and then set up send as permissions which would do this, but then
he'd have 2 mailboxes to view... is this the only way or is there another way to do this?
Thanks
Tris

Hi Tris,
you can try this as an alternative!
Create a distribution group and put the alias on the distribution group and configure it with send as permissions.
First we start with removing the alias we want to send as from the original mailbox.
Now we create a new distribution group, give it a logical name, I always give it the name of the email alias and set the alias as email address.
Then we add the original mailbox as only member.
Now we need to set the Send As permissions for the original mailbox ([email protected]) on the newly created distribution list. This cannot be done via the exchange management console, we have to use the exchange management shell.
This is the command syntax: Add-ADPermission “public folder name ” -ExtendedRights Send-As -user “Domain\Username”
Now you are able to send as [email protected] also with the [email protected] address.
We do this by using the From… field in outlook, add the alias in the from field when you want to send from the alias. When you don’t see the from field go to the options menu and choose Show From.
Best thing to do is click the From… button and select the alias distribution group from the address list.

Anil

How can I change my Iphone default email send from an alias to the address I want?

My Iphone sends my emails "FROM" an alias address I have within my ISP email account. I don't want this alias to be used as the default send. It seems my IPad works fine as does my Imac and Macbook PRO. The Iphone is the only one that does this.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
thanks,

Open iTunes on your Mac, click "iTunes Store" on the upper right, then click "Account" on the middle right. Sign in there. That will make the signed in account the "primary".

I get message: looked like spam or contained a virus when sending from iphone or e-mail

i just installed new photosmart 5510 e-all-in-one. all works well except for when i try e-mail from my laptop to printer or iphone to printer. i get message sayine: looked like spam or contained a virus my wife has no problem sending from her laptop or iphone. i use incredimail and she uses msmail. printing from laptops is no problem, only my e-mail or iphone. any suggestions?

Hello gunnylarry,
There are a couple of reasons that you can get that message. First, it could be that ePrint does not recognize your email service provider. Second, it could be that your phone and email have signatures. Make sure that neither has a signature and try sending the email again. Other than that, make sure there are no forward or reply tags in the subject line.

After scanning document, I cannot send to an alias e-mail that was created

I have an HP Photosmart 7520 all in one printer. Router is AT&T U-Verse
The printer is wireless and getting proper signal
When trying to set printer to send scanned document to e-mail, it wants a 4 digit code
Says code has been sent to the e-mail I created for it
but i cannot retrieve the e-mail with the code
What am I doing wrong here?

HI Evergreen119,
I understand that you're trying to setup scan to email on your printer. When you setup the scan to email app on your printer it asks for your personal email address and the pin is sent to this email. Have you checked your email inbox? I would also check my spam folder it's possible it could be there.
Let me know how it goes.

How to alter my display name when sending from an alias?

When sending emails from my iphone, using an alias, I've noticed that it sends it using my real name. This defeats the purpose of using an alias!
When I send it from my Mac using the mail app, or from icloud on the web, it uses the name I've designated for the alias, but this is not the case on my phone.
How can I get the mail app on my iphone to use the display name I've designated for the alias?

Just go to icloud.com and click the gear in the top right corner (Preferences). Then go to the "accounts" tab and click on the alias you are trying to use and then when it comes up, insert the name you would like to use. If there's any more questions you have, just reply.

I cannot send from one specific BT Mail account but can access folders using IMAP.

Thunderbird 31.3.0 on WIndows 8.1 64 bit.
I have two email accounts configured into Thunderbird.
Both are BT accounts and have identical configurations.
IMAP is used for reading mail, SMTP for sending mail.
On one I can read folders, delete emails from the Bulk Mail folder, fetch and send mail.
On the other I seem to be able to do everything except send mail.
I can read mail, delete SPAM, but for some reason not send emails.
Both accounts are using "mail.btinternet.com" as the IMAP and SMTP server.
I am using Thunderbird as a back up email client to deal with a very few messages which cause major problems with my main email client which is Windows Live Mail 2012. I have double checked and the mail server details are the same between the two and my WLM client can send emails to the same SMTP server on the same port as Thunderbird fails on.
I know the password is correct because I can connect over IMAP and delete SPAM using Tbird.
The only difference that I can see between the two accounts is that one is "@btinternet.com" and the other is "@talk21.com".
The symptoms - I see the progress bar with "Connected to mail.btinternet.com..." and green all the way across.
Some time later I get a separate warning saying "Login to server mail.btinternet.com failed".
Because of the time delay I am assuming that the session has timed out.
I am also assuming that if the credentials were wrong the rejection would have been immediate (although the delay may be to reduce the effectiveness of brute force attempts to guess the password).
So I know that the IMAP credentials are O.K. - I can access the mailbox.
I know that the SMTP credentials are O.K. - I can send mail from WLM using the same settings.
Further confusion - I know that it worked in the past because I have a test message in my Sent mail from when I first set up Tbird.
This is all very weird.
Has anyone else seen something similar?
Also, is there a debug option where I can trace the SMTP protocol when the email is being sent?
Cheers
LGC

Update: - I sent two separate test messages and saved both the failing emails as Draft to retry after restarting Tbird.
I've just noticed that they are both in a Drafts folder on my mail server.
Not, however, the Drafts area for emails composed using the web mail client but under a separate Folders tree.
I can't send the email with the web mail client, although I can forward it.
So further proof that the IMAP side is working.

I've had my husband's e-mail set up on my phone, but now even though i have deleted it, any messages i send from my own e-mail seem to send from his. How can i stop this?

i used to have my husband's e-mail account set up on my phone. I've since deleted it but it seems to send all messages from his account. very confusing and means i miss out on replies etc.
Any advice?

This seems to be happening to a lot of users, so I suppose the servers are down.

Send from gmail via iCloud mail?

I have set up forwarding of my Gmail to iPad no problem. But is there anyway I can send a reply to an email I have received from this forwarding setup from my Gmail account via iCloud mail either by way of tweeking the smtp server settings or adding new ones. I see from the mail settings in the icloud section in iOS 5, these settings are greyed out so you can't amend them. Is there any other way this can be done?
Thanks

Yep, exactly the same problem we are having, you managed to sum it up more neatly than I did compared to my long winded original post, lol.
Hopefully some tech messiah will be able to tell us of a way to make this happen? I hope anyhow, otherwise I won't use my iCloud mail at all.

Sending from iCloud alias on iPad

Hi All,
I can send using my aliases on the OS X mail, iCloud.com and my iPhone but I can't seem to get the aliases to show up on my iPad. Does anyone know if this is possible and if so, a link to where I can find out more.

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.

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.

Allow sending from alias

I have been a .mac .me and now .icloud user on my home computer and now on my iphone 4. I have several aliases that I use for different occasions. I was always able to send mail using an alias as my sending address. On the iphone there is a system preference that allows sending from an alias. I have several checked off, however, when I try to use one I get an error message: "Address rejected by server".
The aliases appear on my icloud account preferences when I go to my icloud homepage, but it doesn't let me send using an alias address on my computer either.
thanks in advance for any information that would help.

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.
