Setting From Field/Gmail?

I have two email addresses:
1. one from a university I attended (this is a virtual address)
2. one from the telephone company (this is a real address)
Mail can be sent to my university address and is forwarded to my real address.
The problem I'm having is that the telephone company rejects mail with a different From field when I send mail through it; I can't set the From field to my university address. (I was able to set the From field when we used a cable connection; we switched to the telephone company because it saved about $12-$15/month. As long as people use my university address, everything is OK. With cable, my cable address was never seen. With the telephone company, I can't hide my telephone company address.)
Can sending mail through gmail accomplish what I'm trying to do?
Any other thoughts?
Thanks.

I have a .edu address. There is no storage associated with the .edu address, which is why I call it virtual. All mail sent to the .edu address is forwarded to someplace else. I can login to the .edu server to control the forward.
I need to do this when I switch email providers, which, in my case, happened to be .net. When I switched from a cable to a telephone provider, my physical email address changed. I did not need to inform anyone sending email to me unless they happened to be using my .net address.
In the cable world, the provider accepted .edu From fields. So everything was OK. The telephone provider does not, however, accept different From fields, so the From field is my physical .net address. I've tried "Reply To", but it's effectiveness is sporadic.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.

How to set from field in template

Hi all,
We are using templates that always should be SentOnBehalfOf but as you can imagine it is often forgotten to change the from field ...
Is there a way to set the from field to a pre-defined value? I don't get it done. Thanks for any suggestion.

Setting From field in Mail

I recently changed from cable (optonline.net) to DSL (verizon.net), because the price went from about $50/month (cable) to $20/month (DSL).
The email address I’d like to advertise to the world is one based on a university. It’s not a real address, but a forwarding address that I can change when my real address changes.
I inserted my university email address in:
Mail->Preferences->Accounts->Account Information->Email Address
The above worked with the cable provider, but does not work with the DSL provider. Here I get the error message:
Cannot send message using the server version
The sender address was rejected by the server outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net.
Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below or click Try Later to leave the message in your Outbox until it can be delivered.
Sending from: David Kallman <email removed>
Any suggestions? I tried setting:
Reply To -> email removed
This works sometimes, but not always. The Reply To field seems to be ignored by some mailers.

I'll close the two items above.

I am having the same problem but with a twist. I have about 5 different email accounts for both business and personal emails. I want my business mail to look like it is sent from my different domain name addresses and not the imap gmail account to which it is forwarded before I download it into Apple Mail.
Previously somehow the old Gmail pop account set up under Tiger allowed me to permanently change the From To field but now I have to change it each time.
I have tried the Reply To field but that needs to be changed each time as well.
I tried changing the "Send new mail from" under Mail Preferences Composing but that affects all my outgoing mail not just a particular account.
Has this changed with Leopard?
In case you are wondering why I don't forget the forwarding thru Gmail, I can't because now so many of my emails have been going out with the gmail email address instead, that I might miss mail if I did. I also needed to switch from Gmail Pop to Imap to be able to see all my emails with an iphone and 2 macbooks. And Mobileme just adds another complication in the middle.

How to set "from" field in Versamail 4.0.1 EAS / Palm Centro Verizon

I have set up a Palm Centro to sync via Activesync using Versamail 4.01.00. All seems to be working normally but there doesn't seem to be a place to set the senders proper first and last name as the sender. When I send an outbound message the recipient receives the message from login "username" instead of "Firstname Lastname". Anyone know where to change this?
Thanks,
Rob

AME From Field

Hello,
In the AME notifications, is there any way to change the FROM field of the notification from SYSADMIN to any other custom user?
Thanks
--Kumar

Hi Kumar,
If you want to set a From field value for a specific workflow instance you can use the below API.
wf_engine.SetItemAttrText(<itemType>, <itemKey>, 'FROM_ROLE', <from value>);
If you want to set From field value for all notifications of particular type(eg:AME), you can add a special message attribute '#FROM_ROLE' to that wft file and specify its value.

Why is the "From:" field being changed in Mac Mail. I have multiple gmail accounts setup and it seems to change the "FROM" field even though I've selected which account to use to send the email.

So
I've got multiple gmail accounts setup in Mac Mail.
Somtimes when I send or forward emails, it uses the wrong FROM field even though I'm declaring
specifically which account to use.
This becomes apparent when the person replies to my message and it goes to the wrong account

Check you accounts in Mail and make sure each account has the correct outgoing server address. Check the box to use only that server.
Second, go to the gmail website and in settings under the account tab, make sure you have the correct settings for replying to messages.

How do you set the from field in mail to be one of two addresses?

I have two email addresses. How do I set up mail so I select which of the addresses goes in the from field?

The From field should include a drop down menu from which you chose the address you want to ue for that message.

How do you set the From field in Mail?

Is there any way to set the From field in messages. I have two email addresses:
an .edu address at an university
a .net at my ISP
I’d like the From field to be my .edu addreess. Mail sent to my .edu address is forwarded to an address of my choosing, which happens to be my .net address. I would, however, like to keep my .net relatively hidden so I can change ISPs. We did that year switching from cable to DSL.
I tried changing Mail Preferences->Accunts->Email Address
to my .edu address. That, however, did not work. My DSL provider ignored the Email Address field and inserted my .net address in the from field. (I believe this method worked when I had a cable ISP.)

Since my last post, I found tried putting
Preferences->Accounts->Email address to be my edu address
would add my .edu address as one of my from choices
Next, I sent myself a mail message, with following result:
The .edu address is now rejected by the outgoing server with the message:
Cannot send message using the server
The sender address (my .edu address) was rejected by the server
I had this working at some time, but not now. Help, please.

Hi,
I am working on one issue, In component CRMCMP_CCS_EML, while replying the email, i need to read the 'TO' field and on the basis of that i need to set the value in 'From' field. How can I recognize that this is a reply and not a new email. Also, could anyone please describe me in detail as i never work on email component before.

This issue has been resolved.
I got the message mode by using
message_mode = typed_context->mail->messagemode.
got all the options for from address using
lt_from_addresses[] = typed_context->mail->GT_DEFAULT_FROM_ADDRESSES[].

lr_gdc ?= cl_crm_ui_data_context_srv=>get_instance( ).
CALL METHOD lr_gdc->get_entity

Set default "from" field in Mail per account?

Is there any way I can set the default "from" field in Mail based on the account I'm sending from?
I have two accounts defined: work and personal. Each account has 2 email addresses associated with it (as a comma-separated list in the "Email Address" field under "Account Information"). Let's call the email addresses work-A, work-B, personal-A, personal-B.
In the Composing prefs I can either select ONE default email address to send ALL mail from, or I can select to send from "Account of Last Viewed Mailbox", in which case Mail will choose a work email address if I'm in a work mailbox and a personal email address if I'm in a personal mailbox.
That second option is great, except I can't control which work email address it chooses - A or B. Changing the order of the email addresses in the Account Information->Email Address field has no effect - it consistently chooses the "wrong" one :-/
Any way I can use "Account of Last Viewed Mailbox" and still set a default mail address per account?

Since my last post, I found tried putting
Preferences->Accounts->Email address to be my edu address
would add my .edu address as one of my from choices
Next, I sent myself a mail message, with following result:
The .edu address is now rejected by the outgoing server with the message:
Cannot send message using the server

How to set a default "from" field on outgoing Mail message

i read through the last few pages of this support forum and googled my topic but i havent found a suitable solution.
in Mail v 3 (3.4) there is a "From:" field in any outgoing mail. very useful for those of us with multiple non-accounts and/or .Mac aliases. i generally set a specific outgoing mail server (so that field is removed from outgoing email).
my problem is how to set a default outgoing email address so that my recipients always get from a certain (eg work) email address when i am at work. at work, anything i send, i want to show my work email without always having to manually select the "FROM" field in the outgoing email.
( aside: i had read that Mail version 3 was supposed to auto-select any reply so that the reply would come from the same email i orginally sent as. this does not work on my mac.)
This problem is exacerbated as Mail auto-rotates between my 4 email accounts/aliases (which are all listed (correctly) in the FROM field. it would be great if this list could be fixed with a default FROM address.
eg i send an email from my work email address (FROM: [email protected]) the next email i send will be rotated through my list of .mac aliases. i.e. the next email i send will not be from [email protected], but from [email protected] the next time it might move on to [email protected] or it might revert to [email protected]
any thoughts on how to fix?
i have tried deleting the home/library/preferences/com.apple.mail.plist. that is fine, but any .mac aliases (which i do use, but i dont want to be listed in the "FROM" field) are listed in the "FROM" field, and are auto-switched through my Mail again.
i looked through Rules and Automator, but no obvious help there. any thoughts?

Did you try Preferences > Accounts > Account Information and entering these other email aliases in the Email Address: field, separated by commas? That would give you a pop-down menu in the New Message window letting you choose which alias to use when sending an email.
If you go to Preferences > Composing, there should be a pop-down menu near the middle of that window labeled "Send new mail from:" which will let you choose any email address you have entered in the Account Information field mentioned above, or "Account of last viewed mailbox" as the default.

I sent photos out of my IPhoto library, but they do not appear in my "Sent" folder on my GMail although that mail account was in the "From" field?

I sent photos out of my IPhoto library, but they do not appear in my "Sent" folder on my GMail although that mail account was in the "From" field?

If you're using iPhoto as your email client a sent version is not created. You need to BCC yourself in order to get a copy.
The better solution is to use Mail as your email client in conjunction with Gmail. This will give you a sent copy, better access to your contacts and, if so desired, photo templates to use via Mail's stationary feature.

Sending emails from my Gmail account set up in Outlook 2007

Ever since I have signed up for Fios, I have been unable to send emails from my Gmail account I have set up in Outlooks. I have tried changing the outbound port from 25 to others to no avail. Can anyone please help?

-My incoming mail works fine, and my account type is set to IMAP & incoming server is IMAP as well - will that screw things up?
-I changed the settings on the outgoing servers to match exactly the directions at the google website instructions you linked me to, and I get the following error:
"Send test e-mail message: Outlook cannot connect to your outgoing (SMTP) server. If you continue to receive this message, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP)."
IMAP or POP on the incoming shouldn't make any difference for outging. If it's working, don't mess with it.
I looked at the page for IMAP settings as well, and they still say smtp.gmail.com on port 587 with TLS enabled and authenticate with same settings as incoming.
Do you have any security software installed? Some of those programs run a scan on outgoing messages that can cause a timeout. Try temporarily disabling your security software to see if that resolves the issue. Either way, enable it again when done testing. If that fixed the issue, you can try increasing the timeout limit in the Outlook settings, or try adjusting the settings on your security software based on their instructions.

How do i synchronize icloud contacts with gmail? The sys made me set up a gmail acct and I manage to get my contacts from blackberry. your import did phone only. I need the google data

When setting up my iphone the store could import my phone numbers only. They then showed me how to sync with Icloud. To complete the setup of icloud I had to create a gmail account. I was finally able to get my complete address book from my blackberry to gmail. Why can't icloud now sychornize gmail with icloud and the iphone?

If your contacts are all in your Gmail account, set up your Gmail as an Exchange account on your iPhone and it will bring over all of your contacts:
