Sending mail from an Apple alias?

Hello,
I have an iPhone 3GS and am trying to figure out how to send mail from an Apple alias. It only let's me send it from my Apple ID account (which I made when I was 11 or so and is really immature, haha) and not the alias that I use to send mail from when I'm on my Mac.
Is there a way to do it? I read that one person created a separate inbox with their alias, but it doesn't accept mine since I don't use it to log in (it has no password). I did try to use my Apple ID password, but that doesn't work either.
Thanks so much!
Caleb

If all you are looking to do is send an email from a different "from" account (aliased email), just simply put that email account in the Address field separated by a comma. It works almost identical to Mail on OSX. It will then take whatever account you have setup with the primary and add that as an email aliased from account. You then send (or reply) to your email select which "from" address you would like to use and you should be set. Hope this helps.

  • How do I send mail from my gmail alias?

    I have a gmail account ([email protected])  that forwards to another gmail account ([email protected]). How do I respond to email in iPad mail from the forwarded account (1@gmail)? Right now, only [email protected] can send email.  This is possible in gmail in a browser but not in the Mail app. thank you!

    kgaddy: "Also, for anyone looking to send email using a gmail alias from your lap/desktop/OSX (I'm using Lion/Apple Mail)... just include both addresses in the email field in your account settings.  Seperate them with a comma (e.g. > [email protected],[email protected]), and whichever address is listed first becomes the default email address used for sending email."
    Fantastic tip!
    I've been trying to set up additional accounts for the alias with no luck but this worked great.
    Thanks very much for this, it's much appreciated.
    Cheers.

  • When sending mail from iphone to alias the alias gets replaced by primary mail address

    I have a mailbox with 3 aliases.
    I need to be able to send to one of these aliased via my iphone mail, but everytime i do this the alias gets replaced by the primary mail address.
    Help!

    I have the exact same problem. My apple ID is [email protected] , which is not any valid email. when i try to send an email from my icloud, it uses my @mac.com apple ID instead of my [email protected] email and i always fail to send it out. This was also alright when i send through iCloud.com. Hope someone would find a solution for this soon.

  • How can I send email from my yahoo alias account in iPhone5 mail?

    How can I send email from my yahoo alias account in iPhone5 mail?
    I have 2 email accounts: [email protected] is an alias of [email protected]
    In my old iPhone3 I had these accounts set up so that I could send and receive email from both accounts. I did this using the following settings:
    ‘Other’ POP account info:
    Name: xyz
    Address: [email protected]
    Description: alias
    Incoming mail server:
    Host name: pop.mail.yahoo.com
    User name: [email protected]
    Password: password for yahoo account
    Server port: 995
    Outgoing mail server:
    SMTP: smtp.o2.co.uk (o2 is the name of my phone network)
    Server port: 25
    ‘Yahoo!’ account info:
    Name: xyz
    Address: [email protected]
    Password: password for yahoo account
    Description: Yahoo!
    Outgoing mail server:
    Primary server: Yahoo! SMTP server
    Server port: 465
    I’ve tried using the same settings in my new iPhone5, but it doesn’t work. I can receive mail to both accounts, and can send from the Yahoo account, but I cannot send mail from the alias account. When I try, it displays the message: “Cannot send mail. A copy has been placed in your Outbox. The recipient ‘[email protected]’ was rejected by the server”.
    I’ve tried to configure the POP alias account using combinations of ‘pop.mail.yahoo.com’, ‘pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk’, ‘apple.pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk’ and ‘apple.pop.mail.yahoo.com’, for the incoming host, and ‘smtp.o2.co.uk’, ‘smtp.mail.yahoo.com’, ‘smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk’, ‘apple.smtp.mail.yahoo.com’ and ‘apple.smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk’ for the outgoing mail server. None of these have worked.
    I’ve also tried setting it up using IMAP instead of POP without success. I tried configuring it using combinations of ‘imap.mail.yahoo.com’, ‘apple.imap.mail.yahoo.com’, ‘imap.mail.yahoo.co.uk’ and ‘apple.imap.mail.yahoo.co.uk’ for the incoming mail server and ‘smtp.o2.co.uk’, ‘smtp.mail.yahoo.com’, ‘smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk’, ‘apple.smtp.mail.yahoo.com’ and ‘apple.smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk’ for the outgoing mail server.
    Yahoo say that if I can't send Yahoo! Mail from my mail program, I may be accessing the Internet through an ISP that is blocking the SMTP port, and that if this is the case, I should try setting the SMTP port number to 587 when sending email via Yahoo!'s SMTP server. I don't think that this is the problem, but I tried it just to make sure - without success.
    I’ve also heard that the problem might have something to do with the SPF settings of my alias domain provider. I’m not too sure exactly what SPF settings are, or how to change them, but from what I can gather it seems unlikely that this is the problem given that I was able to send mail from my alias account on my old iPhone3.
    Any help much appreciated: how can I get my alias account to send emails in iPhone5 mail?
    Many thanks,
    Patrick

    A new development: I've tried sending emails from the alias several times over the past 24 hours, but in general I've deleted them if they haven't sent within about half an hour.
    However, one of the messages I left sitting in the outbox did send successfully in the end, but this took about an hour.
    So: perhaps my problem is not in fact that I am completely unable to send mail from my alias, but that I can only do so intermittently and extremely slowly, and by ignoring the "cannot send" message.
    Any help appreciated.

  • Problems sending e-mail from right gmail alias

    I recently bought a new Macbook. Trying to synchronise Mail with my Gmail account, I have problems. On my Gmail account, I receive and send mail from multiple aliases. On my previous computer I didn't have any problems with this. Can you tell me how I can select the right alias from my Gmail account, so I can easily send an e-mail from Mail from the right address?
    Thnx

  • Sending Mail from Alias

    I have two alias emails that I use for our web page, as well as for alternate email addy. When I try to send mail from the alias addresses in the Mail app I get the "cannot send using the server smtp.mac.com. The server response was: 5.7.0 From address is not one of your addresses Use the pop up menu below...". I have to select a different SMTP server and .mac server does not show on the listing but rather the other email servers (i.e. google/cox etc)
    I have removed accounts, deleted servers, re-created cache etc for the Mail application, and even did a test of the address which worked fine once before.
    My goal is to send announcements to family from the one alias so I know it was in response to the web page announcements etc. I wish to keep my primary as private as possible.
    Thanks!

    Hopefully I can answer your questions:
    1) Alias(s) were created on Mobile Me on my account. From the Mail application I wish to "send" from the Alias(s) rather than my main email address i.e. - main email is [email protected], I created [email protected] via Mobile Me as an alias, in Mail application it allows you to select the "account" from which to send from. If I select the alias, I get the error message.
    2) They are alias(s) that are part of my main email address for .mac. So I believe the are valid, unless I miss-understand the use of an alias and it is only for receiving mail.
    3) Not sure, I think they would use the .mac SMTP server (?)

    I have to agree with you , I too was disappointed to see that with IOS 4 on my iphone I still cant send from an alias. This is a feature thats available with the .me web access so why not the iphone mail app? If they can't do it, then at least let me be able to use .me via safari on the iphone and ipad.

  • How do I send mail from an alias?

    I have a .mac mail account, and would like to send mail from an alias I created.
    Although I can receive mail to the alias, I don't know how to send from it. Does anyone know how I can send mail so that my sender's name is my alias?

    Joel,
    First, if you Compose a new message, confirm that you do not have an Account box below Subject, or if you do, when you click on the arrows beside it, you are not presented with a choice of your .mac alias?
    It may be that you have to click on the Edit Email Aliases button, and go, via it, to the .Mac web pages, and be sure your alias is noted by Mail, but make no changes. I have seen this question, and I do not remember when my alias was first made available. If this does not resolve, I will have to test by establishing still another one for myself, and see what is needed to get it recognized.
    Do you have any other accounts set up in Mail, besides your .mac?

  • Send Mail from, but Not Include Mailboxes

    Any way to send mail from an account, but not include that account's mailboxes in mail.app

    Depends on the provider of any other accounts. For example, you can add an address to the preferences of another existing account, separated by a comma, and have that additional address available in the list of From addresses. Then if your SMTP will allow, you can send from that address.
    Doesn't work with the Gmail SMTP, as it will change the From to be what is used to Authenticate the SMTP.
    See:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA23485
    Another address can be set up similar to a true alias.

  • I cannot send email - error message as follows : 'The sender address (my email address) was rejected by the server smtp.tiscali.co.uk.' I can send email from other apple devices, and the email settings are identical. Any ideas?

    For some reason I cannot send email - all was working fine, but now I get the following error message when I try to send email:
    'The sender address (my email address) was rejected by the server smtp.tiscali.co.uk'
    I can receive incoming mail ok and I can send email from other Apple devices. The problem seems confined to my Mac Book Pro.

    lots of people seem to be havgin a problem sending email from iCloud webmail.
    does your email address have uppercase characters in it?
    if so, try creating an alias in lowercase (go to preferences in iCloud webmail and select 'accounts') and see if email sends okay from that

  • How do I specify the gmail outgoing server if I have multiple gmail accounts in my mail? I have 2 business accounts and when I send mail from one account, it is sent from the other account and the sending email is not from the correct account.

    I love my apple email and do not want to use google mail on safari. However, I have 2 gmail accounts set up on apple mail, but when I send mail from one of my gmail accounts (I choose the specific gmail account in the drop down window), it actually goes out as if it is from the other gmail account. I can't have that happen because one is my job, the other is a personal business account and unfortunately, the mail from both gmail accounts want to send through the personal business account. How do I make it send from a specific gmail account? I even tried deleting the accounts and setting them up again hoping I set it up wrong in the first place, but to no avail, it is still doing the same thing except this time I set the job account up first and then the personal business account and now everything goes from the job account! The only good thing is that the incoming messages work properly and they go into the correct inbox. Somebody please fix my outbox!

    In Mail Preferences/Accounts/each GMail account, set up the SMTP Outgoing Server for each account separately, going into SMTP name/edit/Advanced and specify the Username of each account.  The Outgoing servers must be two different servers, authenticated by the Username and Password of each.
    Otherwise, the GMail SMTP server will change the from address to that of the account where the SMTP server was setup.

    Spent at least 40 min talking to apple support, to sort it out. luckly not at my cost. After trying lots of things and speaking to a higher grade support person I was given a temp password which did the trick. I then was able to reset that with my own password. 
    The impression i got was no one knowns  what the problem is and resetting the password at the apple end works. Not sure if you would be able to self fix.
