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.

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?

Deleting custom labels from Address Book (& iPhone !)

Not sure if this has been covered, but I've got a lot of extrraneous custom labels created in Address Book.
Does anyone know how to remove the ones not wanted any longer ? Just that the list gets longer and longer each time !
Shame Apple didn't think to have all labels done with the first letter capitalised - looks much better that way.

I also migrated from a Treo to an iPhone, and was hoping to have custom field information transfer from my desktop to my iPhone. It would be rather handy when I need help remembering the name of someone's spouse, etc. Has someone created an iPhone app for this perhaps?

Gmail: wrong "from" address on iPhone

Is set up my gmail account and am receiving email fine. I set my account up online and in the account section chose a different address as my "From" default.
When I send email from my gmail web account, it comes through from the correct address ([email protected]).
However, when I send from the iPhone, it comes through the gmail address ([email protected])
I've tried every setting and can't figure it out. Really frustrated! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

So I tried this set up, let me know what I did wrong, because I still can't get it to work right:
Name: Jane Doe
Address: [email protected]
description: [email protected]
Incoming:
Host name: pop.gmail.com
username: [email protected]
password: xxxxxxx
Outgoing:
Host: mail.mycompany.com
username: [email protected]
pasword: xxxxxxx
With that setup, I thought it would work, but my test email still came in as @gmail.com
Did I do something wrong?

By setting up your GMail account to forward emails to your iCloud email account address.
You won't be able to reply from your Gmail address from within iCloud though.

Set sender address on iphone Mail

hi there,
I have set Gmail as an Exchange profil in iphone iOS 5 Mail client, but I have a little problem.
I have a domain, but EMAIL is not hosted with Google apps, it's only forwarded at my provider to my gmail address.
[email protected] --> [email protected]
In Gmail / Settings I have "Send mail as:" option enabled, it means all outgoing emails and replying to messages are sent "on behalf of" my [email protected] address.
I would like to have this set on iphone's Mail client as well. So, if I send out an email on the phone, it should state [email protected] as sender, and NOT [email protected]
How can I do this?
Thank you in advance,
Zoltan

Changing Gmail "from" address

Gmail help claims that if you simply edit the "address" for your gmail address in settings that your emails sent from the iPhone will utilize your alias address.
It doesn't work though....is there a way of doing this without sending mail from the safari browser??
I'm using this for work now and if I can deal with this one hurdle I can start working on the synching between the iPhone and Lotus Notes.

Nope...just tried it again.
Per Gmail, I should simply be able to edit the address in the mail options page. But when it tries to check for mail I get a lovely "The user name or password for 'imap.gmail.com' is incorrect."
Of course it is....I just changed it!
There obviously needs to be a field in the advance settings added to the iPhone that gives you a field to enter the alternate address. I just don't see how this can actually work for anyone based on the way this is setup.
How can you change the info in the address line without the iPhone thinking that is your ACTUAL email address??
So frustrating having to go to safari to answer my work emails from an browser based email page.

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.

I'm having difficulty setting up my email from smatermail on iphone 4S.Any ideas?

I'm having difficulty setting up my smatermail (webmail) account on my iphone. I have tried a variety of options from the setting menu (microsoft exchange and other). I have typed the incoming and outgoing server info. Now I'm not sure what to try. I'm sure there is someone out there who has a smatermail account. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!

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.

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:

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.

Custom fields from Address Book on desktop don't sync to iPhone

I recently switched from a Palm Treo to iPhone. The sync wasn't seamless so I am editing contact info one at a time. I noticed that when I add custom fields to a card in Address Book they don't sync to my contacts in iPhone...why?
For example, I've created fields for the names of children but when I view the contact on my phone I only get the contacts Bday, Anniv and Notes section. Very frustrating since I'm spending time filling all of this info in. Can anyone help? Thanks!!

I also migrated from a Treo to an iPhone, and was hoping to have custom field information transfer from my desktop to my iPhone. It would be rather handy when I need help remembering the name of someone's spouse, etc. Has someone created an iPhone app for this perhaps?
