Sent-From Address Changing in Mail?

Hello,
My father got an iPad and is using it for business. He has two email addresses: a business address and a Gmail address.
In Gmail, there is an option to have your sent-from address be a different email address, so when he writes an email from Gmail, he has it set so that it appears that the email was set from his business address, NOT the Gmail address. So, even though he's officially sending it from his Gmail account, the recipient will see [email protected], not [email protected],
This is great, but in Mail, when he writes an email from his Gmail address to a business contact, it shows it as being from the Gmail address, not the business address as he has it set. He is having to go to Gmail from his browser to send the email to have it have the proper From address, rather than being able to do it directly from Mail.
Is there any way to rectify this?

Gmail is primarily webmail and, of course, I know that that option is available when you're logged into and using Gmail.com. Your father would be able to domthe same thing, I.e., use Safari or the Google app to operate directly at Gmail instead of remotely through a client like Mail.
The only other option I can think of would be to add his business account into Mail on the iPad, following the setup instructions in the User Guide. There is moding in Mail which allows you to assign any installed email address and outgoing email server to any message — Tapping the From: address shown in the message being composed pops a menu showing other options for the From field.

  • Change "Sent From" Address on Sent Mail

    Is there a way to change the "Sent From" Signature on outgoing mail. I use Yahoo for push email but want my outgoing mail address to read as my corporate email address. I don't want to send email to my clients showing a yahoo address. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    I am having the same problem. I noticed no one commented on your post and wondered if you ever fixed the problem.

  • HT5624 I have two mail accounts and one Icloud account. Thproblem is mail is going out with the incorrect sent from address. I deleted the mail accounts and added just one account back and mail still goes out with the incorrect from address and people res

    My phone will not5 send from the correct address tht I want my mail sent from. Although my mail goes into the correct mail accout answeres leave with the incorrect sent from address.
    I want to be able to send mail corectly.

    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.

  • Reply address: is it possible to use another reply address other than the pop address used in my account. I have a special work account and would like to send emails with that address as my reply address...or sent from address

    Reply address: is it possible to use another reply address other than the pop address used in my account. I have a special work account and would like to send emails with that address as my reply address...or sent from address

    i found out how to do this finally!
    1) set up google gmail account to forward your emails to (from the [email protected])
    2) go to your gmail account
    3) go to settings (cog in right hand corner)
    4) go to 'accounts and import'
    5) go to 'send mail as'
    6) click 'Add another email address you own' - add your [email protected] address
    7) google will send a verification email with code to that email address.
    8) enter code
    9) go back to gmail account  >'send mail as' and select 'make default'
    10) close mac 'mail' program and reopen it.
    as long as you have gmail account selected as the primary account in MAIL - mail will now come throught as being sent from that  [email protected] address!!

  • Can you sync email sent from the iPhone to Mail.app?

    When you send an email from iPhone, can you have it sync'd to the Sent folder of your Mail.app on your Mac? I had a look through the iPhone user guide and couldn't find the answer to this quesion.

    It seems this is an unfair
    disadvantage for POP users.
    disconnekt,
    I think your perception on this issue comes from an unwillingness to accept that POP email was never designed to take advantage of the features you want. It was conceived as a single client/server email retrieval system. It was nothing to do with "fairness". It is what it is.
    Your desire to have the ability to receive, manipulate, and send email using different devices (iphone/desktop/laptop) yet have all those changes synchronized regardless of which device is used is a valid one. Many people (including myself) feel that way. However, I doubt Apple will spend significant development resources in finding a POP solution to this because it has already been done.
    It's called IMAP accounts.
    In fact, apple has adopted this protocol in it's own email services, .mac My guess is that most development resources will likely be spent along enhancing functionality in their chosen platform, not POP
    Unfortunately, that still leaves you in your current situation. If you can accept what POP is (and what it is not), you can take action on a possible solution rather than wait/hope one will be developed for you. I would advise slowly transitioning to an IMAP account as this seems to be more suited to your needs. I had 4 POP accounts exclusively until I got tired of being limited to checking and sending all my mail from home. I didn't want to check or send mail on my laptop, because once I did, those messages would have already been "downloaded/uploaded" and thus unavailable/unseen when I checked mail on my home computer. My mail ended up scattered across 2 devices. (sound familiar?) I dreaded changing email accounts because I felt I would lose important contacts in the process. In reality, it was no more devastating than a home address change when you move (which I'm sure you've done before)
    Here's how I did it:
    1. Get an IMAP account. (.mac is one. There are many)
    2. Most POP accounts allow for auto email forwarding, enable this feature to funneled all your mail to your new IMAP account.
    3. Create a signature announcing your new email address and use this on all outgoing email.
    4. Continue this until you feel comfortable dropping your old POP account. (I have yet to delete mine and it's been almost 2 years.)
    Also note, that you could actually keep your old POP account indefinitely. Senders would just notice that all outgoing mail to you is addressed to a different domain then all incoming mail received from you.
    Make the change. Based on what you've want you'll be glad you did.

  • Setting a Custom Gmail "From" Address in iPhone Mail

    I'm trying to set a different "From" or "Reply-to" address in the iPhone Mail app when using my Gmail account. I want the messages I send out to look like I've sent it from another e-mail account and not my gmail account. I tried the way Gmail recommends: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=81375# but that doesn't seem to work. It might be a different function with the iPhone 3G/iPhone 2.0 software.
    Anyone know of a workaround?

    Jrags, you can do this by setting up your email on your iPhone not using the "Gmail" option under "Add account" but rather the "Other" option." You can then specify the "from" address you want. You then also have to enter all the settings yourself for the Gmail incoming and outgoing servers.
    While in general it works just fine, there is one quirk you should know about. When you set it up this way, and you also choose to have the copies of the messages you have sent saved on the Gmail server, it can take up to 24 hours for them to appear there. If you save the copies of your outgoing messages on your iPhone they are saved instantly.

  • Choosing "sent from" address

    Hello, in the Mail program on my computer I used to have a drop-down box that appeared in messages I composed, below the subject line, that allowed me to select either of the two .Mac e-mail addresses I have in my .Mac account.
    Recently that drop-down box has disappeared and I cannot choose to send e-mails from my secondary e-mail address.
    In order to send any e-mails from that secondary address, I have to use the web-mail program, not the Mail program resident on my computer.
    Can somebody help me get that drop-down box back in Mail? When I press "Reply" to some messages sent to the secondary address I can see the drop-down appear very briefly as Mail is loading the message data, but it disappears after the data is loaded.
    Thanks.
    PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    The accounts pull down is generated for the list of accounts in Mail --> Preferences --> Accounts. Are both of your .Mac accounts set up there? Next, make sure under the Advanced tabs that Enable This Account is checked.

  • Can't drag and drop from Address Book to Mail?

    Hi,
    I have always used Address Book to store my email contact information in SL. When I wanted to send an email, I would drag and drop from Address Book to the "To:" field in Mail and it would add the contact information to Mail. I upgraded to Lion, and now when I try this, the address icon moves like it should, the little green circle with the + in it appears when I hover over the field, but when I release it does not add the address to Mail. The drag and drop does not work at all, but it looks like it should. I have searched all around but have not found any information about this. Does anyone know what's up with this? How can I fix it? Thanks in advance.

    Are you dragging from the actual AddressBook application, or the Address icon you can add to the NewMail and Reply toolbars in Mail?  (It ought to be there by default, but isn't).
    Either should work, but if AB doesn't, try the icon method:

  • Setting FROM address on outgoing mail

    Can I set the FROM address on all outgoing email to something other than my .MAC account? I want my email to go to a mail forwarding address? I belong to a professional association that provides an email forwarding service to its members, along with spam & antivirus scanning. I have it set to forward automatically to my .MAC account, so Mac Mail 2.x does not have an account record for that holding account. When I was using Outlook on my PC, I was able to set the FROM address on all outgoing messages to my forwarding address. However, now that I'm using Mac Mail rather than outlook, I haven't been able to set email to use that address rather than my Mac Mail address.

    I went to the local Apple store earlier this week and asked on of the folks at the Genius Bar if he knew how to set the outgoing mail address. He showed me that I could enable the "reply to" field and then put my mail forwarding address into that field. Unfortunately, there is no easy way to pre-populate that field so that it always has my mail forwarding account address.

  • From Address in iPhone Mail with multiple accounts

    If anyone has a multiple email accounts setup on their iPhone, can they confirm that when they reply to a message in one mailbox, it has the from address set as that account and doesn't use the same from address for every email account setup. Eg, if I have [email protected] and [email protected] setup and when it go into the CNN Inbox, choose a message, press Reply, it has [email protected] as the from/account its sending from and if I go into the BBC inbox, choose a message, hit reply, it has [email protected] as the reply/account its sending from?

    Jason
    I am haveing the same problem and the Apple IT people know less than me. Per above, In Yahoo! Mail Plus I have 5 different email addresses forwarded to my Yahoo! account. When I send an email I u can select which email I want to send from. As it is now, with the Iphone, all my emails send out using my @yahoo address. As you can imagine this is embarasing if someone send me an email from a lawfirm and my response comes from a yahoo! account.
    Can you help me?

  • IPhone4 - Gmail - Sent From Address???

    Hey Guys/Gals,
    I setup a POP email account through the Exchange option using a Gmail account on my iPhone 4. My question is this: When I send emails from my iPhone it uses my gmail account email address *****@gmail.com. I need it to show its coming from my business email address instead.
    Is there any way to set this up on the iPhone?
    I already logged into my Gmail account and selected that all emails sent should look like they are coming from my POP business address. But I can't find an option on the iPhone to change the outgoing email address.
    Let me know.... thanks!

    Ahhh....I am have the same issue and it is so annoying. There is no way I am going to send emails to my work colleagues from a personal email address!!
    I have googled this topic for quite some time, and I have not found a solution yet. I am still trying to work it out because i need to be able to send from multiple accounts. I did run accross an article talking about using the 'magic comma' to separate multiple email accounts when setting up your gmail on iphone ( http://modernerd.com/post/535350679/solved-gmail-ipad-iphone-and-multiple-from )
    This 1/2 worked for me. I was able to choose which email address to send from, but they were all the same address. Give it a try, maybe it'll work for you.

  • Messages sent from ipad not in mail on computer

    I have a POP email account which i use on both my macbook pro and my ipad 3g. How can I get the sent messages on my ipad to show up in mail on my laptop? It is not happening when I synchronize the ipad to the computer. There is no option for sent messages when I go to settings-mail,contacts,calendar-account-advanced on the ipad... there is only deleted messages and incoming settings available.

    Meg is right. Can't be done on a POP account unless you cc yourself.
    POP has one advantage on the iPad/iPhone, and that is that you can keep a smaller subset of your emails on your mobile device. That is, you can delete mails and still have them stored on your main computer. You can't do that with IMAP. (Unless someone knows otherwise!)

  • Some email recipients do not see sent from when I send mail from thunderbird

    most email sent works fine, we have one customer we send to when they receive the email it does not show who sent the email. we are sending in plain text and the setup works fine everywhere else we send to.

    Then this sounds like a problem at the receiving end. More information is needed.

  • How/can I change the "from" address in Mail?

    I just upgraded to Mountain Lion, and have come across a problem.
    I use iCloud for my mail account, but I want to change the "from" address - so the return address on my messages is NOT icloud.
    I could do this in Lion.
    In the mail account settings, there's an option that says "alias" and it lists (me)@mac.com, (me)@me.com and (me)@icloud.com, and then "custom" is an option.
    Great!
    So I choose Custom, and then I can type in the "from" address that I want.
    However, when I go to save those changes, it tells me the SMTP server can't be left blank.
    What?
    It's not blank! I didn't touch it. The icloud server is still there!
    Furthermore, it's greyed out, so even if it WERE blank, it's not like I can edit it!
    Once this happens, the only fix is to delete the whole account from mail, and to disable mail in the icloud control panel, then re-add it.
    Has anyone figured out to work around this?

    Apple's outgoing mail server - just like 99.9% of all other SMTP servers, does not allow "relaying", meaning you use a domain in the 'sent from' address that is different from a domain hosted by the server. The simple reason is to make it harder for any spammer - not assuming you are one - to abuse the server. While bandwidth, server capacity and server load are some issues, the main fear for ISPs is to get blacklisted, and consequently mails from such server being refused by all others.
    It's a general rule, and while exceptions might be technically possible, it would be a manual act which at a certain rate would become unmanageable.
    If you want, read about the antonym, open mail relay servers, here.
    You see, it's actually good behavior and absolutely in your interest to prevent you from using a "non-in-house" 'sent from' address.

  • Need to change outgoing mail address which is from an old account

    We recently switched to a new internet service provider, but the old address is by default still being sent as the outgoing (from:) address in the Mail application. Is there a way to remove that address? The problem is not with the service provider because I have been able to check the current valid inbox address through the service provider's homepage online. The problem must lie with a setting in the computer that has retained the old address as a default.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    If you're sending from the new account, that address is the outgoing mail address, by default. Did you try deleting the server of the old account? It could be sending mail out through that server instead of the one provided by the new ISP, which would change the outgoing mail address.
    Go to Preferences > Accounts and select the new account; look near the bottom of the window where it says "Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)" and check to be sure that is set to the server provided by your new mail provider. If it's not, you need to select the correct one from the pop-down list.
