Sending from one account shows up as another

I am sure that there is something very simple in the settings that I am missing. My primary email account is a verizon one and it is linked to my Mail on my iMac and MacBook. When I send an email from my iPhone's Verizon account, however, it is received as if it were sent from my gmail account and consequently replies go there. This is not a critical issue, but just bothersome because I use each account for a different purpose and I am ending up forwarding then from one account to the other.
How do I correct this? It's almost like I set something as a primary account, but I can't find out where that may be.
Thanks.

Hey all,
I suspect I'm having a similar problem. For some reason my primary server "smtp.mac.com" won't send messages so the iphone uses my next preferred server "smtp.gmail.com" to send messages. The problem here is that the replies then go to my gmail account (which for me is picked up by my mac and not my iphone).
This is a big problem for me as I sent an important email today from my iphone and received no reply which (in the context) meant everything was fine. However, I only found out much later in the day whey I got to my computer that in fact everything was not fine and I almost had to cancel meetings to be somewhere the next day all because the apple stuff is just dropping the ball when it comes to actual functionality for business use....
Anyway, I'm trying to find a solution. If I do I'll post another response. So far I'm looking at ditching mobileme (which is what I currently use as a free trial) and just using gmail and gmail calendar instead.

  • I have 2 hotmail accounts on my mail, when I send from one account I receive the reply in my other account, how can I stop this from happening?

    I have 2 hotmail accounts in my Mac Mail, when I send from one account the reply comes back to the other hotmail account, how can I stop this?

    You should be able to open both accounts.
    I believe Hotmail T&C may expect you to have only one account, but possibly multiple alliases.
    You may have problems opening two separate hotmail accounts at once in Firefox. Try using a new private browsing window for the second one. With any look that will separate them enough for you to use both at once.
    (With other account holders permission.) I sometimes open my own and another persons hotmail account by that method.

  • Can I migrate rules from one account in Mail to another?

    In mail I have 90 rules, many multi line criteria. I have just created a new  imap account linked to fastmail. My rules wont run because they seem to be linked to my first account, not imap. I tried just duplicating them and re-mapping to the new "move to" folder. Wouldn't run. Added a new criteria for the account but then all mail will go to that folder since 90 rules include that account in the rule. This would work if there was 2 levels of logic in the IF command but alas its only IF ANY/ALL.
    I really don't want to re-write all my rules as some have maybe 10 lines of criteria in them. Any suggestions?

  • E-mail sent from one account shows different e-mail  to recipient

    I am having a problem with my e-mail. I have a home account and a business account through mail. When I go to send a business account mail, the addressee will see the from address as being my home e-mail. I have gone through my preferences but no luck. I would like to keep my home and work e-mails separate but am having a problem with this.

    So does your ISP use IMAP or POP - that may have something to do with it? Mine is strictly POP (the last time I checked with them).
    Edit: and, while in your business account (under Accounts), have you checked the correct (business) account under Preferences -> Composing -> Send new messages from?

  • Mail sent from one account gets replies to another account

    I have several email accounts under Apple Mail.  One is my Gmail account, and another is my school account that uses the Gmail system (but has a different @address).
    Every time I send an email from my school account, I get replies to my Gmail account.  Any idea why?

  • TS3276 when I send an email from one account, it shows up as sent from another gmail account. Anybody ever run into this

    When I send an email from one of my accounts, it shows up as sent from another account. Does anyone know how to correct this?

    As Ernie said, you need to create an SMTP server for each gmail account with the correct username and password. Be sure the correct server for each account is listed in the SMTP box and check the box to use only that server for that account.
    Gmail's default behavior when sending from one account through another account's outgoing server is to change the address to the server which is used. Same goes if I send a message from my ATT/Yahoo account and use gmail's server to send through. It will change the ATT address to the gmail address.
    There is an option in gmail's settings under the Account's tab under Send Mail As. You can add different gmail or other accounts such as Yahoo to this and choose how the gmail server handles it. You can set it to send as the sending account and not change the address. I've used this many times for my ATT account for sending through gmail when ATT accounts were having problems.

  • Email "sender" showing incorrect name from one account only, from blackberry only

    I have three email accounts linked to my phone, recently if I send from one account, the message seems to come from a mystery sender - i.e message shows as being sent from "Sam Laidlaw" but the email address is correct. I've tried editing the account, deleting the account, modifying the account, nothing works. I've searched and "Sam Laidlaw" doesn't show up in any addresses, contacts, accounts etc - I don't know where it came from or how to delete it. Very frustrating as it is my work email that I use contantly and people are now asking "who is Sam Laidlaw"?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I only ask because the recipient's device can control who an email appears to be from.
    Aside from that, this is controlled by either the settings when you setup the account or the display name listed on the account itself.
    What kind of account is it? GMail? Outlook.com? Yahoo!?

  • IPhone Mail Sending from Different Accounts

    I have taken a look and cannot see anything on this topic - but I am having trouble with my iPhone sending emails from different accounts.
    I have 5 IMAP accounts setup for different emails. When I go to send from one account, it seems to send from my GMail account (which is first in my email list), this is also true for when I reply or forward emails from any of the 4 other accounts.
    I thought this might be due to the default mail option in the settings, so I changed this to another account but it was still all sending from my GMail account. When I turned the GMail account off - all accounts worked fine independently.
    Has anyone experienced this and know if its a setting somewhere? or a problem in general?
    Many thanks

    I am not sure - but I have had to disable the GMail for now so that I can send and forward from my other accounts. Its rather annoying that its defaulting to sending from the GMail account.
    Do you think deleting the account and then re-adding it will make any difference?

  • Mac Mail not sending from correct account.

    I constantly use Mail to send and receive emails on my MacBook.
    On it I have three email 'accounts' - my me.com address (for formal emails to work, banks etc.), my "junk" address (for spam, gaming etc.) and my "home" address (for personal emails and everything else).
    When typing an email, if I choose to send it from a different account than the one I originally selected, I can just change it in the 'From' pop-down menu (under the 'To', 'Cc', 'Bcc' and 'Subject' fields).
    Recently though, for some reason when I want to send an email from my "home" address, it sends it from my "junk"one instead, even if I am sending it 'From' my "home" address.
    It still has my "home" address' signature, and not every time it does send from my "junk" one instead - rather it seems to send from both as it feels up to.
    This bothers me quite a bit, especially when I send an important email using my "home" address but it sends from my "junk" - both confusing and annoying me and the recipients.
    This only just started happening to me this past week. Does anyone else have the same issue, and any help would be greatly appreciated

    Some mail servers such as gmail will change the address when sending from one account through another account's server.
    Go into Mail's preferences under Accounts. Highlight each account and make sure the correct outgoing server is listed for that account with the correct user name and password. Each account should have their own. Check the box to use only that server with that account. Do this for all accounts.
    If you don't check the box and the server fails, it will move on to the next one in the list. Then you will get the address from that server even though you're sending from a different account.
    If the server does fail, you will get a selection box to try again or select another server.

  • I am sending an email from one account on iphone 4s but the replies are coming into another account on my phone

    I have had an iphone 4s for about a year and have 4 email accounts that come in on it: verizon, gmail, my work, and icloud.  Periodically, I send an email from one account, it shows the message as sent from that account in my sent mail, but the recipient receives it from the gmail account and therefore replies to the gmail.  Has anyone had this happen?  It is almost as if my messages are bouncing into gmail when I send them, although on my phone it shows as having been sent from another account.  I have not had this happen on my computer where I have all of these emails coming in as well.  I thought perhaps it was me not being careful about which account I was sending from when using my phone, but the mail I sent this morning I was very careful to make sure was from verizon, the sent mail on my phone shows it was sent from verizon, and the reply came in on gmail.  Gmail isn't even the default email address- verizon is! My iphone is using version 6.1.3. Does anyone have any ideas? This is a major problem for me so I appreciate any ideas!  Thank you!!!

    I am not sure whether this is related, but I had a problem with Gmail where each time I sent and email via my iPhone it would bounce back in my Gmail account as unread. You migh want to check this Google article explaining why this happens and how to avoid it:

  • HT204053 How can I transfer my apps from one account to another

    How can I transfer my apps from one account to another

    Apple will not permit transfer of applications from one account to another. Suppose your mom has presented an iPad to you and before presenting she has downloaded some Apps with her account. If you want to update those Apps, you must know her pass word or send the iPad to her and request her to update and give back. If you feel it is time consuming and difficult, the best way is purchase new iPad and down load  the latest version of App. Whenever you come across you go on purchasing new iPad. This will help you to have latest version of iPad with you.

  • How to move contacts from one account to another

    I have 2 exchange accounts configured in my iPhone, one Corp exchange account and one personal exchange account, both have Contacts sync enabled.
    I noticed somehow all of new created Contacts are under Corp account, these Contacts do not show up on my iPad / Mac which only have personal account.
    How can I move the selected Contacts from Corp account to personal account?
    How can I choose which account to use when I create a new Contact?
    Thanks

    I can answer your second question but I share your problem related to the first question.
    In answer to your second question:
    To make sure that new contacts go into the desired account:
    1.     Go to Settings
    2.     Select "Mail, Contacts, Calendars"
    3.     Scroll down to "Contacts"
    4.     Select the last item in the group, "Default Account"
    5.     A list of the accounts on your iPad will appear.  Select the account that you want to use for your new contacts.
    If you solve the problem of moving existing contacts from one account to another, I'd love to hear about it.

  • HT2736 Can I take a voucher from one account and put it on another account

    I am really struggling to get a voucher from one account to another any suggestions ?

    What are you trying to do, and what happens when you do it e.g. are you getting an error message ? To send a gift from an account you need a credit card on the account, you can't gift from an account's balance.
