Setting "reply-to" and "from" headers"?

Using mail.app in Snow Leopard - can someone advise how I can customize the mail headers?
I use an email redirection service and publicize my "[email protected]" email address to all my friends. In reality, emails to this address get redirected to my gmail (IMAP) account which I then access via mail.app.
How do I customize the header fields such that outgoing mails that I compose on my Mac are sent with fields like:
Reply-To [email protected]
From Steve Mallard <[email protected]>
Thanks
SM

OK - found the answer to my own question - the process I followed on my Mac was perfectly correct, the issue was that Gmail was over-writing the Mac settings with its own.
You need to go into Gmail and use the "send mail from another address" option under "settings".
Hope this helps someone else avoid wasting four hours like I did!

  • Char set conversion to and from UTF-7

    Hi,
    I am working on Char set conversion to and from UTF-7. However I cannot find and ChatToByte classes for UTF-7 in i18n.jar . Any ideas as how to proceed further with this issue. I feel that there must be a way since UTF-7 is a pretty popular charset especially in emails.
    Thanx in advance.
    Khurram

    Hi!
    I had the same problem a couple of months ago. I didn't find any classes in the jdk distribution to do this, nor did I find any classes or package on the web that did this.
    The solution? I got a bit of C code from one of my working mates and converted it to Java. I have the code, but my company own the code. I have to check if it�s ok to share this code with you.
    BTW. If you find any package on the web that does this, pleas inform me.

  • Email Setup (Z10) - How to change "Reply to:" and "From:" address

    Hello.
    I have setup my gmail account on the Z10 and would like to change the "Reply to:" address to my work address. Also I would like to change the "From:" address to my work address. This was done easily using my BB9790. Please help. Thank you

    Hello rhakim99,
    Thank you for your question.
    Setting a different reply to/from address is currently unsupported for email integrations on the BlackBerry Z10 smartphone.

  • Need different but default Reply-to/From headers for specific mail accounts

    I just migrated to a rMBP-15 from a Windows/MS Outlook environment. I love it so far. Just to be sure, my OS is OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.3 and Mail is 6.2
    I am trying very hard to replicate below mail account setup scenario using Apple Mail. I have two issues.
    I have 3 Gmail accounts - lets call it G1, G2, and G3.
    Issue # 1:
    I need to setup corresponding accounts on Apple Mail (say AG1, AG2, AG3) such that when I reply to emails in AG1, the Reply-to and From address fields in  my outgoing emails should be G1, and when I reply to emails in AG2, the Reply-to and From address fields in my outgoing emails should be G2. In this scenario Apple Mail always seems to default to only G1 (or G2, or G3) depending on which one is at the top (default). Even if I set up corresponding SMTP servers with respective email addresses, outgoing emails do not get transmitted unless I choose the default SMTP server, thereby resulting in always a single Reply-To and From email address for all my Apple accounts.
    Issue # 2:
    I have a forwarding email address (lets call it FEA) issues by my grad school that I use to forward to G3. When I use AG3 on my Apple Mail, I like to have a Reply-to and From address of FEA.
    How can I resolve the above two issues? I was able to easily do this in Outlook. All my hours of online research points to only the Apple scripting command "defaults" that will change the Reply-to header for ALL my outgoing email, but not for specific accounts.
    I am happy to provide more details if required, but please any help is appreciated!!

    This is not possible with Apple Mail (although its possible with Outlook). So, with some additional research, I solved this by myself as follows:
    For the Mailbox needing a different Reply-to and From headers, I logged into corresponding Gmail account directly, and then
    1) Went to Settings
    2) Accounts and Imports
    3) Under Send Email As: I clicked on "Add another email address you own"
    4) In the popup, I entered the email address I really wanted in my Reply-to adn From headers
    5) Clicked on Next Step
    6) I chose "Send through <yourdomain> SMTP Server" and click Next Step
    7) Here I enter the details of my ISP SMTP server (smtp.verizion.net, Port 465, my userid/pwd)
    8) And then back on Goggle Settings->Account and Imports I choose this email as the Default (I will have to validate the email address by entering a code I get on that email)
    I am done.
    Now I can use Apple Mailbox with a Gmail account, and never have my Gmail address appear on ANY emial to/from this Mailbox account. I do not even have to choose "Reply-To" header everytime in my outgoing email.

    Hi, I have read detail here - https://www.paypal-community.com/t5/How-to-use-PayPal-Archive/Auto-Reply/m-p/9339 ...but need to know how to test that a reply has gone out to an e-mail address after purchase, using Sandbox?   Obviously I'm using random e-mail address for buyer and business Sandbox accounts, so is there a way to force the e-mail reply to a working e-mail address to check? ----- Also, what PHP code do I need to write after ipn success/validation to send an e-mail myself to the customer? Thanks! Ash

    You can but you would need to send it as an html email which is much more complicated.
    What you would do is build a page/table construction like below. You would need to use the php variables to echo out the information in the <td></td> cells (example below).
    $reply = $_POST['email'];
    $from = '[email protected]';
    $replysubject = "Auto-Reply: Website Name";
    $headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
    $headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
    $headers .= "From: $from\r\nReply-to: $reply";
    $replymessage = '
    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

    mail($reply, $replysubject, $replymessage, $headers);

  • I cannot send an email from my iPad 2? No problem receiving, why does this happen? Have tried the suggestions for setting up email and after doing the sync mail through iTunes receiving worked great but still cannot send? Any help would be great

    I cannot send an email from my iPad 2? No problem receiving, why does this happen? Have tried the suggestions for setting up email and after doing the sync mail through iTunes receiving worked great but still cannot send? Any help would be great!

    The fact that you can receive means you have a valid e mail address, and have established the connection to the incoming server, so all of that works.  Since the send does not work, that means your outgoing server is rejecting whatever settings you used formthe outgoing set up.  Try them again. 
    Google your particular isp, and ipad and many times you will find the exact settings needed for your isp.  Or tell us here, and soneone else may be on the same isp.  Some mail services need you to change a port, or have a unique name for the outgoing server.  
    Kep trying.

    I HAD two accounts because of this problem.  I completely removed the problem account from the Apple Mail client.  Guess what is happening??  That's right - Mail is still sending from the other account that no longer exists on my computer, and I have absolutely no idea how this is happening.  This is incredibly frustrating.  When a recipient chooses to reply to my message, quite often I won't get it now because it is going to the other account that has now been deleted from my system.  COME ON APPLE!!! WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH THIS???

  • I purchased an ipad from a dealer on ebay with a 9 month warranty still on it.  I set it up and decided to return it and buy the new Ipad instead. How can I be sure I didn't activate the warranty, or deactivate if it has been activated?

    I purchased an ipad from a dealer on ebay with a 9 month warranty still on it.  I set it up and decided to return it and buy the new Ipad instead. How can I be sure I didn't activate the warranty, or deactivate if it has been activated?

    Sorry, I can't tell what it is you're trying to ask. What does the warranty have to do with your intention to return the iPad (to whomever) and get another one?
    There's no way to deactivate a warranty.
    The warranty transfers with the machine, has nothing to do with the owner.
    Look around in the Support pages, you can figure out a way to type in your serial number and see what your current warranty status is.

    To free up hard drive space the best bet is to move data files that you don't need access to all the time. Likely candidates are music, video, and photos. Things like word processing and spreadsheet files can also be moved but they tend not to be very large and so don't free up much space. The problem with moving the above mentioned files is that iTunes and iPhoto need to know where the files are stored.
    Here's an article explaining how to move the iTunes folder. You can move the iPhoto library using the Finder but there is a slight complication. Start iPhoto, open the Preferences and click on the Advanced tab. The first option is "Copy items to the iPhoto Library". If this option is checked, copy the iPhoto library to your external folder (drag it from the Pictures folder to your external drive) and then delete it from your Picture folder. If this option is not checked, it is a bit more complicated and we'll need to talk a bit.

  • When I sync my iPhone 4S to my computer, where is the baseline data and documents coming from? Is the iPhone's set of apps and data the default set or are the apps and data on the computer (in the backup? in iTunes?) the default set?

    I am having a great deal of trouble with the upgrade to ios 7 on my 4S. The syncing and the software updates always leave generic icon apps that I have downloaded in the past but have deleted from my phone. But they keep reappearing. A restart of the phone fixes the icons but they are loaded not at the last page of the home screen but on completely random pages, screwing up my app and folder layout.
    I want to completely wipe the phone and restore the apps one by one, but I am concerned about whether the data and documents for those apps that I reinstall will be intact. Does the syncing for the apps on the phone retrieve the data from the last backup on the computer? If so, does it only sync the apps on the phone or does it try and reinstall all the apps that there is data for in the backup? In other words, does the resulting set of apps and data reflect the current state of the phone or the saved state of the backup?

    Apple guys are deleting posts. I have found my posts have been deleted. Apple should MUST let us downgrade at least to previous release from current which was working fine.

    Help please

    To build on the second option provided by The Edmeister make sure that you have your Sync Key, if this is not the case Firefox Sync will not help you (data is encrypted with that Key).
    Finally, if the last sync happened long time ago, it may be the case that your data is not on the servers anymore. Firefox Syn wasn't designed as a back up service.

  • From yesterday, I have been facing the problems in my iphone and my wife iphone. The same problem, "cannot connect to itunes store". I have strong internet connection. I tried all the possible way I could like setting, general, date and time.....etc.

    I have proble of "cannot connect to itunes store. After I have updated the new software ios6, the problem arised in one of my mobile. In the second mobile, I didnot updated the software.Today in the morning, the problem ariesed in that mobile as well. I cannot open the itunes, don't have access to apple store . I tried to solve the problem like going to setting, general, Date and time, automatically off, keeping one year ahead date. I tried all the possible options I could get from the googel. How do I get rid of this problem?

    No - I have not tried other routers on my network.
    What I meant was I could use my itouch on other users wireless networks without any issues.
    I'll update the routers DNS to try  using Google's 8.8.8.8 instead of my ISP.
    Is the issue DNS performance using local ISP -or are there other possibel isues when using local isp DNS?

  • Setting EXIF:GPSLatitude and EXIF:GPSLongitude from a PlugIn

    The new LR4 mapping faclity is great, but I'd like to map the locations on my existing photos (over 20,000)..
    All my photos already have city/country information set as Keywords, and I am able to separately convert these locations to GPS coordinates via the Google Maps API.  (I have a standalone program to do this and dump the results to a CSV file.)
    What I can't work out is how to add this GPS information to the Adobe Metadata.  I could possibly try this outside Lightroom using EXIFTool or equivalent, but it should be possible to do it through the SDK.
    My current Plug in loads the GPS data, and then for each photo in the collection tries:
    photo:setRawMetadata(GPS,LatandLongString)
    This gets an assert failed message - presumably because GPS is not a valid Key.  LatandLongString is has the latitude with cardinal point (N/S) followed by the longitude with cardinal point (E/W) separated by a space.  (I also tried setting GPSLatitude and GPSLongitude separately). 
    Any ideas on the correct way to do this?
    (Incidentally, what is the correct way to get a collection by keyword?  My current code is:
    local thisKeyword = catalog:createKeyword( "Location1: " .. Location1, {}, true, nil)
    local photos = thisKeyword:getPhotos()
    but this also causes an error when trying to access the resulting photo array)
    Thanks in advance.
    Glyn

    John,
    thanks - I also got a similar answer from Jeffrey Friedl, and this works correctly.  I didn't see this in the documentation but maybe my web search didn't show up the latest version of the manual.
    With respect to the getting collection by keyword, I abandoned using the thisKeyword:getPhotos() construct.  Instead, I searched the catalog by keyword:
    local photos = catalog:findPhotos {
    searchDesc = {
    criteria = "keywords",
    operation = "all",
    value = "Location1: " .. Location1,
    Thanks,
    Glyn
