Sending mail from iPad Safari: How to choose the sender account?

In iOS 7.1 and whatever the most recent version of Safari is:
I'm on a web page and want to mail a link to the page to someone else. I tap on the "Share" icon (the square with the arrow coming out of it) and get the overlay with the AirDrop icon, the row of Message / Mail / Twitter / etc, and a row of other stuff, and tap "Mail". Up comes the usual mail form with an empty "To" field and a field marked "Cc/Bcc, From: [email protected]", where "[email protected]" is indeed one of my mail accounts and the one that I want to have the message sent from. I enter my message and tap Send; the message is sent.
However (finally!), when I look at my copy of the message or the copy received by the recipient, I find that it's been sent not by [email protected], but by [email protected], which is another account I own and have set up on my iPad. How come? What happened to [email protected]? For extra credit, why did Mail come up with [email protected] as the supposed sender (I have several mail accounts set up in my Mail client -- [email protected], [email protected], and several others)? Any ideas out there about this? Thanks!

Minor "aha": The answer to the extra credit question is that, down in Settings > Mail, there's a place to pick the Default account -- "Messages created outside of Mial will be sent from this account by default". So why isn't it?

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

Have difficulty sending mail from iPad 2

I am having difficulty sending an e-mail from my iPad 2. I am using Telus as my server and I can't find a solution?

Thanks for contributing your answer and welcome to Apple Discussions!
Pointing out deficiencies in someone's posts is not necessarily insulting and you'll have to take it as an article of faith that when I do set out to be deliberately insulting there is no ambiguity involved. I also do not agree that pointing out those deficiencies is not helpful, as I believe they are: While OP will not have his question answered (nor, indeed, could he have done), both he and others reading the thread might come away with the idea that a bit more care and attention taken in the writing up of their questions will immediately result in more and better and quicker responses and solutions to them.
I'm glad, as we all are, that your solution worked for you and, unlike the vast majority of newer users here, you did at least take the trouble to post it up and share it. Let me ask you, though: What do you plan on doing when OP (stands for Original Poster, btw) comes back with the common, "Yeah, I tried that, it didn't work, what else should I do?" response? Make a few more guesses? Ask a few more questions? Shrug and move along?
The following is the alternate boilerplate that I quite frequently toss up in these sorts of situations which, funnily enough, will also occasionally generate the same sort of reproving responses:
I don't understand what you're saying. Please try the following if you'd like to save yourself and others a lot of time:
Describe what you are trying to do
Describe how you are trying to do it, in as much detail as you can.
Describe what you expect to see or have happen when you do it that way
Describe what you see or what happens instead of what you expected; include any error messages that appear.
Provide some idea of what you have already looked at or already tried doing to fix the problem, along with the results of those attempts.

Could not send mails from iPad nor from iMac

Hello,
very strange. I use Maverick and iCloud. With Mail on my iPad (latest update installed) and on my iMac I cannot send any mail. I receive mails and using iCloud in Safari on my iMac works fine and I also see the sent mails on my iPad and on my iMac.
Any idea?
Michael

Just some more information.
If I check the connection Mail says that the IMAP connection to iCloud is okay and working. But no mail leaves Mail, they stay in the outbox.
I got my to be send mail back on the screen and a window with the message, that there is a time overrun for server „p04-smtp.mail.me.com“ and I should try another server (have e.g. GMX) or try later. Later and e.g. GMX doesn't work either.
Any help is really appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Why can't I send mail from IPad while overseas

Why can't I send mail while overseas? I can receive but al though have placed smtp other server in settings I still cannot send

To get the right scoop for setting up your outgoing server, google your ISP and the words email settings, and you will likely find a page that will give you the settings. While you are there, see if there is a restriction on where they will send from. Some US ISPs simply will not send e mail, if you are put of your home territory. The. Only way around that is a different mail provider, such as gmail, yahoo or whatever.

How to send mail from adobe interactive form without opening the outlook

Hello all,
When the end user press the submit button i want it to send the XML data without opening the outlook or other mail application.
Is there a way to do this?
I tried javascript codes to send mail with UI = false but it did not work.
Thank you all in advance,
Eran

mailForm
Parameters: bUI, cTo, [cCc], [cBcc], [cSubject], [cMsgBody]
Returns: nothing
This method exports the form data and mails the resulting FDF file as an attachment to all recipients,
with or without user interaction depending on the value of bUI.
If it is set to true then the rest of the parameters are used to seed the compose new message window that is displayed to the user.
If bUI is set to false, the cTo parameter is required and all others are optional.
You must use a semicolon u201C;u201D to separate multiple recipients in cTo, cCc, cBcc parameters.
The length limit for cSubject and cMsgBody is 64k bytes.
Example:
/* This will pop up the compose new message window */
this.mailForm(true);
/* This will send out the mail with the attached FDF file to fun1 @ fun . com and fun2 @ fun . com */
this.mailForm(false, "fun1 @ fun . com; fun2 @ fun . com", "", "", "This is the subject", "This is the body of the mail.");
Note:
This is a Windows-only feature. In addition, the client machine must have its
default mail program configured to be MAPI enabled in order to use this method.
I had to change the code:
instead of this.mailDoc :
var myDoc = event.target;
myDoc.mailDoc(false, "fun1 @ fun . com; fun2 @ fun . com", "", "", "This is the subject", "This is the body of the mail." );
But the outlook new message window still opens...
Any Idea's?

HT1694 Changed password on email account, including in mail settings,and now can't send mail from iPad

My email account account(msn.com) was hacked so I changed my passwod at msn.com and then als0 changed it on myiPad under settings/mail.
Now I cannot send email or photos with email.
Suggestions? I only have an iPad as I am traveling.
I can send emails if I sign in through Safari.

Check the outgoing mail server setting. Make sure that your username and password are in there.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.

Why can't i send mail from ipad?

I changed my password on my mail account. Now I can receive messages on ipad, but can't send anything because it says settings are incorrect. I have manually changed password. I have deleted iCloud. Suggstions?

1. Make sure you are using the same icloud account for devise and icloud.com
2. Go into setting, mail and make sure the password is correct. I have had that happen and I keep emails on the server and would just delete the account and add it back with the correct password. See if that works. This has worked for me in the past.

Thanks a lot Demo for answer.How to send add attachemnt when I am sending email from Ipad and how to send kaynotes as attachemnt from Ipad

You send the attachment from within the Keynote app itself. I don't have Keynote but I assume that it works that same was as it does in Pages - which I do have.
When you have the file open in Keynote - see if there is a wrench icon in the upper right corner - this is the tools button. Tap on that icon and from the resulting popup window tap on - Share and Print - the next window should have "E-mail document" at the top - Tap on that and the mail app will open and the attachment will be in place and ready to e-mail.

Sending mail from using utl_smtp error......

Hi
When i try to send mail like as follows
DECLARE
v_connection UTL_SMTP.CONNECTION;
BEGIN
v_connection := UTL_SMTP.OPEN_CONNECTION('xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx',25);
UTL_SMTP.HELO(v_connection,'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx');
UTL_SMTP.MAIL(v_connection,'[email protected]');
UTL_SMTP.RCPT(v_connection,'[email protected]');
UTL_SMTP.DATA(v_connection,'Sent From PL/SQL');
UTL_SMTP.QUIT(v_connection);
END;
I get the following error..
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-29278: SMTP transient error: 421 Service not available
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_SMTP", line 17
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_SMTP", line 96

if i send mail from outlook it goes...the configuration is like this
in mail properties general tab
email address : [email protected]
and i have to tick mark the "include this account when receiving mail or synchro" option
in servers tab
POP3 : xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
smtp : xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
and i have to tick the "My server requires authentication" option
and have to give the setting for that also
ie. log on using account : [email protected]
password: xxxxxx
How to Correct it ?
Kris

i am on the same platform and in same account..... and PL/SQL UTL_SMTP gets a connection plus SMTP error, while telnet cannot even get a connection. A very weird one. Not sure what the problem can be.
Worse case, forget telnet and do all your troubleshooting using UTL_SMTP.. with liberal usage of DBMS_OUTPUT. :-)
regd. the connection from my xp client it is
connecting to the telnet server on server, but when i
tri to connect to the ISP's smtp address it throws
the errorNot that strange. You're likely going through a proxy of sorts of to reach the ISP mail server. Besides, to send mail you should be able to use your company's SMTP server as it should route Internet e-mail out to the net automatically.
In fact, many SMTP servers will not allow you to relay via them. E.g. if you connect from domain 1 to SMTP server on domain 2, and you submit an e-mail to be delivered to domain 3, the domain 2 server will tell you to take a hike. It will only accept mail that is destined for its own domain or originating from its own domain.
Reason for this is spam. Open relays are one of the prime reasons for having billions of spam mails being transmitted.
The correct method will be for you on domain 1 to connect to domain 1's SMTP server and submit an e-mail to be delivered to domain 3. That will be accepted and delivered. Using domain 2 as an intermediate agent to act as a relay, is/should not be accepted by all SMTP servers. (your SMTP server should get blacklisted/blackholed if it has an open relay)
