Can I use an alternate outgoing server in mail on ipad2?

I would like to use the gmail server gmail as my primary outgoing server rather than my me.com account. I can't seem to turn off the primary server it only allows me to add an additional sever as a secondary or back up. Thoughts?
Basically I want my reply emails to show as from my gmail account.

yes you certainly can. and by searching those keywords on google you'll find very detailed step by step setup guides.
but i recommend you using a third party app instead of the apple Mail for one big reason:
if you use Mail to send messages, your sent mail will not be stored under your gmail server, meaning, as you go on to the actual Gmail webpage, you wont be able to find the messages you sent from apple's Mail app.. if you have been using Gmail as your primary email database, i highly recommend you not to use the default Mail app.. I only use apple Mail to download attachments to iphone/ipad and open/save them with different apps (such as Phone Drive, Downloads..etc) which have the ability to open different file formats and have a file manager system.

Iphone4 - Two Gmail Accounts - Outgoing server does not work anymore

I started using my private Gmail account on my Iphone and everything worked fine (having found help in Youtube videos about how to set up Ingoing/Outgoing server).
Now I added my Gmail account from work (ends on .nl instead of .com - Dont know if that matters). I can now access both inboxes but I cannot send emails from BOTH accounts. I then deleted the new account but still cannot send emails from my first account anymore.
I found that under "settings->Mail,Contacts,Calendars->Gmail Account->AccountInfo->OutgoingMailserver SMTP" I now have a primary server which seems to connect to my first account and several "other SMTP server" which contain either details of the first account or the second account (which I actually deleted aleady).
Should I delete those additional servers? How can I do this? Does anyone have experience with this kind of issue?
Thanks a lot in advance.

I did put all the informations and still it does not work telling that these informations are not right!!!!
HELP please

Using .mac as outgoing server

I would like to use the .mac as an outgoing server for times when I can't use my comcast server (like when I am on the road). This is for an email address that is NOT a .mac address. I do have a .mac account.
I could have sworn that I had this working at some point in the past, but now it always rejects the outgoing message with the alert:
The SMTP server "smtp.mac.com" rejected the password for the user...
Can someone tell me if it is possible to configure this way? If so, what settings do I use exactly?
Does .mac offer any telephone support? It is very frustrating trying to find out this information.
Peter

Hello Peter.
I don't believe you had this working in the past since Apple has always prevented using the .Mac SMTP server for a non-.Mac email account.
I don't believe .Mac provides telephone support.
You can't use Comcast's SMTP server for this email account? Comcast has telephone support but being able to use either Comcast's SMTP server with your Comcast account or the .Mac SMTP server with a .Mac account depends on the ISP used for connecting to the internet when on the road.
If doing so at a hotel, you need to check with the hotel or hotel's ISP for the required SMTP server settings to send mail from an email account outside of the ISP's network.

How to configure sap to use gmail as smtp server?

Hi experts,
I need to know how to configure gmail as my smtp server. In the scot transaction I don't see anywhere where to specify whether it is a ssh connection, ports for secure smtp, username, password.
Does anyone know how to configure sap to use gmail as the smtp server?
I've seen some similar threads about this, but they are of no help. Although they are classified as answered, in most cases the reason they are answered is because the person who made the query dropped the cause trying to make it work. I'd like to know for sure is this is possible or not.

Hi Camilo,
You can't set up gmail as your smtp server to handle this. gmail is an email server which generally are based on POP protocol. now for SAP to send mail to gmail, you would need one SMTP capable server which can relay those message received from SAP to configured email address.
As of WAS 6.10 SAP kernel supports SMTP without more components. i.e e-mails can be sent (or received) from the SAP system to each SMTP-compatible mail server. see SAP note 455140 for more details.
Hope this clarifies your doubt.

Passwords Won't Save. Outgoing Server Changed to GMail?

None of my three POP mail accounts work now. The password text box field won't save any passwords and I see the word for GMail something (outgoing server?) appearing here and there although I never intended or directly did anything that would put GMail as one of my Mail Accounts.
Note: I saw an older post, 4 years old, about this but thought I'd post again since it was Archived and it's "solution," rather drastic (i.e. delete Mail preferences) and even after I did that the problem continued.
I was able to use Time Machine to get my Mail preferences back and did have clear copy of Email Settings...but it seems now I'm back to Ground Zero: what's my username, password, Authentication, etc. and the old settings I have are not working.
I'm wondering if this is linked to recently trying a Safari Extension for Google Toolbar (now uninstalled)?
Whatever...I'd like my Mail back and for it to remember Passwords and have the correct outgoing server.

Two weeks later (after post, above)
I Solved the Problem - I reinstalled Mac OSX 10.6.6 (It was rather painless)
My Mail is working again. Safari now also again remembers passwords.
Also, my Aperture's Mail export also works. (Mail is no longer grayed out).

ICal invite replies Use Wrong Outgoing Server

Hi There,
I have 3 e-mail accounts in Mail.
When someone sends me an invite it goes into iCal no problem. If I try to reply to the invite through iCal then it works ok on 2 of the e-mail accounts but not on 1.
i.e. If someone sent the invite to account 1 it is ok.
If they send it to account 2 it is ok
but account 3 is the problem.
With account 3 I get a pop-up message from Mail telling me "Cannot send message using the server xxxxx". The server to which it is referring is the server to be used for one of the other accounts.
It won't even work if I select another server from the list.
Any ideas?
powerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Thanks for your help.
I'm not entirely sure I understood your instructions though.
I went into Mail preferences and went to the accounts section. I clicked on the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) drop down box and then went to 'edit server list'.
From here I was able to delete 2 servers that I do not use and the other 3 servers listed were listed against the correct e-mail addresses and accounts.
I then send an e-mail from each of the accounts to make sure I had it all set up right and each e-mail account sent and e-mail and received an e-mail without a problem.
Then I went back to iCal to accept an invite and it tried to send it using the wrong outgoing server for that e-mail account and I had the same problems as normal.
Any other ideas?

Mail is using wrong outgoing server

We just changed hosts for our company email and website. I set up a new account with the new info for incoming and outgoing servers. When I try to send Mail tries to send using the old outgoing server, despite the fact that I entered the new server info when I set up the new account in Mail.
When it bounces back I get a pull down menu where I can choose the right server and then it works. I don't want to delete the old account as I'd loose the emails in it. Is there a place where the computer stores a list of servers where I could delete the old server name?

Mail tries to send using the old outgoing server, despite the fact that I entered the new server info when I set up the new account in Mail.
Because you didn't make the new account the primary one, so Mail chooses the current primary account and it's mail server settings. You'll need to go to Preferences > Composing and select your new account from the pop-down list as the "Send new email from:" account.
Is there a place where the computer stores a list of servers where I could delete the old server name?
Yes. Preferences > Accounts > Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP):. Click on the pop-down menu and select Edit Server List… to remove servers.

Outgoing server settings for MAC MAIL with multiple accounts?!

if i got paid to do this, my outgoing mail server issues would be somewhat amusing but as it stands they are really extremely annoying.
i have multiple email accounts (multiple addresses with multiple hosts - gmails, domain based email, me.com address etcetera).
does ANYONE know if there is an FAQ on what is recommended with respect to the settings on whether to tell mail to ONLY USE the one outgoing server and/or anything with the other settings?
i feel like i am in a pachinko parlor when i send mail because there is constantly an error of some kind and then i try dropping the mail through a different outgoing server by selecting a different one from the list and i just do this until it goes out. oftentimes i don't find out it didn't go out until the NEXT DAY becasue i am working and this alert gets hidden behind my other windows where i do actual productive work.
any ideas? i have two domain based websites (multiple emails with two SMTP addresses), two GMail accounts and me.com...
THANKS!

hi. CS. thanks.
do you know what this does as a practical matter? i mean, is it NECESSARY to check this box? will it try other outgoing servers and NOT WORK if you don't check this box? conversely, will it NOT try other outgouing servers if this one is unavailable if i check this (presumably the answer is yes here). i mean - am i likely to run into fewer problems by checking this box and i assume it is necessary to use the OUTGOING SERVER of the actual domain you are trying to send mail from as opposed to - for example - using GMAIL outgoing server for everything because you think you will get less errors than sending from your email domain outgoing server.
you know what i am saying? i mean, i get a bootload of errors and actually can't send mail these days even though Connection Doctor is telling me everything is hunky dory.
also, what is meant by "Offline"? do i have to go in and tell it to take everything on line for some reason and is this totally separate (telling it to go online) from checking things in Connection Doctor?
THANK YOU

Gmail smtp (outgoing) mail not working with apple mail 5

Hi,
I have a numbe of gmail accounts, I can receive mail through the new apple mail 5 client but can't send any at all.
I've tried everything gmail help suggests but to no avail...
Cheers,

Have you use the correct outgoing server - smtp.mail.me.com and SSL is required. I would suggest removing the account and starting again, following the instructions applicable to Leopard in this page:

Using Gmail in the Cloud

I've got an iMac, an iPhone and a emailadress like @gmail.com. Now I want to make use of iCloud. What do I have to do to make it alle syncing like it should do. I really want to use only @gmail.com. Maybe the question is better like this: Is there a simple way to make use of iCloud, still using my good old gmailaccount?
<Email Edited by Host>

iCloud handles only its own email. You could set up forwarding from your Gmail account to iCloud so that you would be able to read the messages there, but there is no point in doing this as you can just as well access Gmail in your Mail application. Also you can't send using iCloud's outgoing server with anything other than your iCloud address as the 'From' address.
Is the email address you give your actual address? I understand it may be just an example but if it's a real address it's a really bad idea to post it as it's an invitation to spam. To be on the safe side I've asked the Hosts to remove it. Your message is quite clear without it.

HT4864 I use gmail. It is posible to read it in iCloud?

I use gmail. It is posible to read it in iCloud?

Only by setting up forwarding from Gmail to your iCloud address. Note that you won't be able to reply using iCloud's outgoing server with anything other than your iCloud address as the 'From' address.

Sharing the same outgoing server for more than one email in mail program

A local computer company has web servers and he has assigned me a website with my own domain and I have two emails under that domain. I can't seem to setup these two emails to work correctly in apple mail. It's telling me that I can't have the same outgoing server setup for both email accounts. This is how the server is run. Both my emails which are assigned under my domain web url both use the same outgoing server. Is there anyway around this error or am I stuck?
thanks

This is important.

Use Yahoo! Push IMAP and GMail Outgoing Server

Hi. I use GMail as my primary email account, but I really like the Yahoo push IMAP capability.
I have setup my gmail account to forward to my free yahoo account.
How can I setup my iPhone to check my yahoo account (with push imap) but when I send, to use the GMail SMTP server? I can't find the outgoing server setting when I setup the yahoo account on my phone.

Read the reply post carefully people.
There is no mention of a magical new Yahoo account shortcut.
The reply post states that the only short cut that exist is when you set up an e-mail account.
The big one with Yahoo on it, the one you all would have had to of used already.
In other words their is no magic way of doing what you want to do.

How do I specify the gmail outgoing server if I have multiple gmail accounts in my mail? I have 2 business accounts and when I send mail from one account, it is sent from the other account and the sending email is not from the correct account.

I love my apple email and do not want to use google mail on safari. However, I have 2 gmail accounts set up on apple mail, but when I send mail from one of my gmail accounts (I choose the specific gmail account in the drop down window), it actually goes out as if it is from the other gmail account. I can't have that happen because one is my job, the other is a personal business account and unfortunately, the mail from both gmail accounts want to send through the personal business account. How do I make it send from a specific gmail account? I even tried deleting the accounts and setting them up again hoping I set it up wrong in the first place, but to no avail, it is still doing the same thing except this time I set the job account up first and then the personal business account and now everything goes from the job account! The only good thing is that the incoming messages work properly and they go into the correct inbox. Somebody please fix my outbox!

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.
