Using a personal email address with Yahoo Mail

I have a premium Yahoo Mail account which allows me to receive mail from an external account (one with an address that does not end in yahoo.com) and send mail as that account as well (so my recipients never see a yahoo.com email address or otherwise know I use yahoo mail).
When I set up the account on my iPhone, I can browse and read my mail fine, but I can't figure out how to send mail using my preferred address. All my outgoing mail from the iPhone has the yahoo.com address. I can't find a place to put my preferred address - if I put it into the address field, then the Mail client can no longer sign in to Yahoo Mail because this is also my account name with Yahoo.
What I need is a place to indicate an email address for new messages which is different than the account name, but I can't find it.
Is this possible to do? How should I set it up?
Thanks,
Frank

It is not possible.

HT4436 can i use my own email address with iCloud?

can i use my own email address with iCloud?

Welcome to the Apple community.
No, you cannot use your own email address with iCloud. However you can use your own email address as a separate account by entering the account details in the mail application.

Someone is using my personal email address for their apple ID and I'm sick of it! I can't sign up for my own itunes account or anything using MY OWN email address. My email address is my property, not theirs.

Someone is using my personal email address for their apple ID and I'm sick of it! I can't sign up for my own itunes account or anything using MY OWN email address. My email address is my property, not theirs.
I'm using their account and will continue to reset their password and settings until they either get the message or Apple do something about it and disable or migrate their account so that I can use MY OWN email address for my own purposes.
I don't want to be informed about Apple products and services for someone else on my email account.
I want to be able to use it MYSELF for iTunes
All I am asking you to do is migrate their apple ID to their alternate email account settings and free up my email address so that:
A. I can use it and B. I stop getting messages about their account history.
Either that or just cancel their account as they have no right to use my personal details.
Yes I could set up a new email address but WHY THE **** should I? I've been using this email account for years for personal stuff, it's not mu fault if someone can sign it up as an AppleID without me being able to confirm their sign up process!
Your move Apple, make it count.

Hi Sister Kate,
If you change the Apple ID you are using on an iPhone or other iOS device, there are several places you need to change it on the device. See this article -

How do I use a previous email address with my printer?

How do I use a previous email address with my printer? I reset my printer and want to use the same email address as before.Thanks

At this time the printer's email address will not be available for for re-use for 6 months. This is a security measure once an email has been disabled. After that time, one can go into their account and then change the customized email address for the printer.

Having talken the advice to use a bt email address via Yahoo, iPad telss me that the a/c may not be able t,o send or receive emails

Having take the advice to use a BT email address via Yahoo, iPad tells me that the a/c may not be able to send or receive emails

I set up a btinternet account by selecting Yahoo from the Add Account screen, and just had to fill in the name, email address, password and a description - I got the same send and receive warning and I had to log into the account via a browser on the iPad to 'confirm' it on it, but it then worked (though I had to go back and re-enter the account's password).

Can I use my current email address with iCloud

Can I use my current email address with iCloud vs having to sign up for .me?

iCloud email only works with @me.com addresses: it can't access any other email address at all.

Firefox will not "auto fill" email addresses in Yahoo mail. How do I get this to work?

This used to work. I have a new laptop and am not sure if this is a laptop issue, a Yahoo issue, or a Firefox issue. It is very annoying to have to go to my address book every time I want to send an email because names are not recognized. This was not a problem on my previous lap top. I also think that this was not a problem with the previous version of Firefox.

Odd that grant_cm reported this a year ago, and it only started happening to me in the last week or so. What's more, email autofill with Yahoo still works for me in Safari on my Mac. I prefer the Firefox browser, but this issue is a real pain, and what's more your CAN'T insert a list from you address book. Sure would like to know what happened and how to fix this.

Using my existing email addresses with BT Infinity...

Hi
I have 3 different email addresses that I would like to use with with BT infinity. My current ISP allows me to use their outgoing SMTP server to send mail from these addresses without any 555 or 553 relay errors, nor do they put a signature or 'sent on behalf of' message on my outgoing emails. Will I be able to do this with BT Infinity?
Secondly, I travel with a laptop and I'm often connected to hot spots and other people's/companies broadband connection while sending email. To avoid reconfiguring my smtp server depending on who I'm connected to I use a paid for authenticated SMTP service (authsmtp.com). This means I can have a single SMTP setup (mail.authsmtp.com) and send email without problems. Will BT allow me to connect to mail.authsmtp.com when I'm at home and connected to infinity?
Thanks

Its an e-mail issue, not a problem with your actual physical Infinity connection, which you do not have at the moment.

Have windows 7 w/email address, click on address & firefox says email default not set properly, i say ok, it transfers the email address to yahoo mail, but it always has firefoxhtml after it & i have to delete that portion, help

I hit ctrl key & click on the email address in windows 7 that I am sending an email to. Firefox gives me the message "Could not perform this operation because the default mail client is not properly installed". I click the OK option & the person's email address appears in yahoo mail ready for me to compose my email, but it always puts FirefoxHTML right after the person's email address & I have to go up & delete that portion. If I forget, the email is returned as error. Please help.

The "Use custom settings for history" selection allows to see the current history and cookie settings, but selecting this doesn't make any changes to history and cookie settings.
Firefox shows "Use custom settings for history" as an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes were made.
If all History settings are default then the custom settings are hidden and you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History".
"Never Remember History" means that Private Browsing is active and "Always use private browsing mode" gets a checkmark.
You need to remove the checkmark on "Always use private browsing mode" to leave Private Browsing mode or chose the "Remember History" setting.

Firefox shows wrong clickable email address on yahoo mail sign in field when I type first letter. explorer gets it right.age

When I type the first letters into the sign in box on the Yahoo Mail sign in page via my latest edition Firefox browser, (on Windows Vista) my clickable Hotmail address shows in the drop down box instead of my Yahoo address, (Both begin with the same word.) so I then need to always type in my correct Yahoo address to sign in. Internet Explorer gets it right, making me think it's a browser issue.
I've tried the settings in Yahoo, and everything in Firefox Tools/Options I can think of. Thanks for any help!

*Click the (empty) input field on the web page to open the drop down list
*Highlight an entry in the drop down list
*Press the Delete key (on Mac: Shift+Delete) to remove it.

I want to correct my email address for yahoo mail

Yahoo mail email address is incorrect...how do I change it???

The instructions to do so are provided in the article you asked this question from, but require correctly answering two of the security questions. If you can't do that, you need to ask Apple to reset the questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.

Can I use my personal email address (non apple/iCloud)?

Hello,
I had a life before iPhone, iCloud and Apple-ID and use several email addresses
including a couple belonging to my website (URL).
Is it possible to integrate those other email addresses into iCloud so that I have all in one place?
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Ben

Access purchases using from old email address with current ID

I have some songs that cut out part way through because they didn't get downloaded fully when I switched hard drives or something. I purchased them from the iTunes store with my own Apple ID, but it was when my Apple ID was associated with a different email address. I changed my email address on my account when I deactivated my old address. I can't log in to the Apple Store with the old address because Apple doesn't recognize it as being valid.
These past purchases don't show up in my purchase history, even though older ones do, also from my previous . I'd like to re-download the songs so that I have the full versions. Does anyone have any ideas about how I can do this? Thank you!

Thanks for the response.
My iTunes account window doesn't show the Unhide option as the example in the link does. I'm guessing that's because I haven't hidden anything, but maybe there's another explanation? It would be great if that were the answer.
The main album I'm hoping to re-download is still available in the store. The really frustrating part is that I've downloaded stuff from the cloud that I originally purchased as many as 8 years ago, but this one album that I bought in 2012 won't cooperate.

Does Handoff work with only iCloud accounts or can I use my personal email address?

Im trying to use the Handoff feature but i don't get the option to. I have set it up on my phone to work and on Mac, I can receive calls from my phone onto my MacBook Air but I can't use it for my mail. Im using a NTL world account if that makes a difference.
