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?

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.

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?

Alias address from iCloud alias address cannot be used to send mails via iPad

Alias address from iCloud alias address cannot be used to send mails via iPad

If you still have this concern: You can only use the alias address linked to the main iCloud account that you backup your iPad to. You can check that going to Setting-iCloud and check the Account email address.
I think this restriction is rather rediculous. I don't see why we can't configure an alias from a different iCloud account the same way we do for a Gmail account. I hope Apple fixes this in iOS 6.

TS4002 Cannot send/receive iCloud email with Mail

About a week ago I stopped being able to send/recieve icloud email via mail on my iMac. Everything is correct in my settings except the incoming server information. Mail defaults to p03-imap.mail.me.com, and will not let me select or edit this option. I know all my other settings work correctly because I can access iCloud email via my iPhone, iPad and a Windows 7 laptop running Thunderbird. However my iMac is my primary computer and I would like to get this issue corrected. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I am trying to determine the reason that the Mail program has stopped working with iCloud. All of my settings are correct, and have been verified as working with another application (Thunderbird), and work on hand held devices (iPhone and iPad), but will not work within Mail. The only thing I could find that didn't match the referenced online materials was the p03- portion of the IMAP server address. If you have any suggestions, I'm happy to listen to them.

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 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.

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.
