Using gMail with mulitple email accounts on iphone

Ok here is one that I have not been able to figure out.
I use my gmail account as a one stop shop for the various emails accounts I have. I have accounts set up in gmail so that if someone sends me an email from my other account "[email protected]" for example, the email is delivered to my "[email protected]" inbox. I have it set up so that when i reply, it appears as if the email is coming from "[email protected]" insted of "[email protected]"..
this all works fine and good when i am using Mac mail on my macbook pro running mac osx. In mac mail with OSX, the same situation as above applies. mail all is delivered via IMAP to my mac mail "gmail" inbox as if it was addressed to "sam@redstar", and I can reply or create a message from that same account. all with gmail running things in the background.
simple and sweet. easy peasy. works just like I need it to.
However, on my iphone4 i am running into issues. When mail is sent to "[email protected]" and i check my email on my iphone (which is set up to synch/imapped to my gmail account) i am unable to reply as "[email protected]". the mail i am replying to, or creating new, is being sent from "[email protected]" rather than the "[email protected]".
Can anyone help me figure out how to get iphone email app working like the mac mail client so the emails can be sent from the various acocunts coming into my gmail account?
thank you in advance for any help!
Chris

Thanks Chris, but I think if I add that account to my phone, I will get duplicate messages:
the msg that was orignially sent to that account and coming from the server
and the same message for that account that is being forwarded to the gmail account..
so when i pull message down to my phone, both copies would show up as a new message to each account.
See what I am saying? Or am I making a mistake there?
thank you again

  • Limit or issues with adding email account to iphone 4 AND Macbook Pro

    Is there a limit to email accounts on iphone 4... I tried to add a 4th email account to iphone 4 AND to my email program on MacBook Pro.  It worked for a couple days and not both say user name or pass is incorrect.  I CAN check email from gmail.com STRANGE! :/  Annoyed
    Thanks for info!

    think all do that same deal when changing network if you're driving
    it's not the speakers it's the wire connecting the device with the speakers
    it will act as a neutral antenna and receive the harmonics from the gsm signals when they get a sms or change network and that will play in the speakers
    maybe you could look into a very very very shielded cable 3.5mm cable which would be protected from those harmonics or maybe you should look into external speakers which use bluetooth a2dp profile

  • Please help with setting up native mail app using Gmail with alternate email address

    I have an alternative email address setup such as [email protected] configured to use with my online Gmail account.  In the online account, I use the alternate email services smtp server so emails are sent correctly from that alias.
    Is there a way to setup the native mail app to use Gmail for mail, contacts, and calendar and use an alternate email address as the sender?  Right now I am syncing contacts and the calendar through the native mail app and using the Gmail mail app for my email.  It allows you to select from all of the emails setup on the Gmail account. 
    But for simplicity sake, I would like to consolidate to the native email app for all of my accounts - I also have an Exchange based work account.
    Thank you for the help.

  • Trouble using mobile me alias email account on iphone

    I am unable to use any of my mobile me alias email accounts on my 3G i phone. The base email account works well.
    On my home computer (Dell with xp), I have mobile me mail preferences set to use an alias account as default when sending email from mobile me. This works well on the computer but the preference is not followed on the phone.
    This is in addition to not being able to enter the alias email as an account on the phone itself.

    Here is a thread regarding the same question discussed in June of this year. To my knowledge the problem hasn't been solved yet, however there are some options to get you half-way there.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1614481&start=0&tstart=0
    I'll admit I haven't looked into this since June, so there may have been updates since then. But as I recall the options are as follows:
    1) Enable only your default mobileme (mm) address and you'll only be allowed to send from that account.
    2) Enable both your default mm address and an alias, you will be able to send from either address, but every email you receive to either account will show up twice (once under each account).
    3) Enable only the alias. If you do this, your iphone will no longer will receive push notification of incoming emails, it seems to require the default address for this functionality.
    Hopefully all this information is correct, this was my understanding at the time I got too frustrated with it to look into it any further.

    Google them to confirm the settings that you need for the outgoing server, then check the setting you entered on the pad.  Pay real close attention to the outgoing server name, and port.  You may need to change in on the pad. 

  • Using gmail with my iphone 4S (7.0.4) I accidentally selected "archive message".  I see no archive folder.  Where can I see/retrieve those emails?

    Using gmail with my iphone 4S (7.0.4) I accidentally selected "archive message" for several emails.  I see no archive folder.  Where can I see/retrieve those archived emails?

    Thank you!  However, those emails, along with all other mail is sent to the All Mail Folder and difficult to track or isolate.  Looking through hundreds of emails at a later time in All Mail to find what I mistakenly designated as archive is very cumbersome.  Why would the system designate an email as archived if it has no dedicated location?

  • TS3899 I cannot send email from my ipad the message keeps saying rejected by the server but there is nothing wrong with my email account with talk talk as I am able to send email from my iPhone and laptop any ideas?

    My email won't send from my iPad.  It says the server rejects it almost immediately I press the send email button, although there is nothing wrong with my email account when sending from my laptop or iphone. I have cancelled the account and re-entered it but it hasn't made a difference? Anybody help?

    Hi Allan,
    Thank you for your help . The account used to work perfectly until recently, after receiving support from the provider, I deleted the account now I am trying to set the account again. 
    After putting in the first details (name, email, description) Cannot send mail the password or username for "mail.bigpond.com" is incorrect. I would expect this because the information I put in is not for Bigpond. So I press ok & I change the outgoing server (this is the one that is incorrectly labelled bigpond) to aapt, then I press save.
    Then it says "verifying" but comes up with Cannot connect using SSL do you want to try setting up the account without SSL. I press yes.
    Then I get the message "the POP server "mail.aapt.net.au" is not responding. Check your network connection & that you entered the correct information in the incoming mail server. (I ahve already checked this with aapt & it is correct.

  • Can i use an old eprint email account with a new printer?

    can i use an old eprint email account with a new printer?

    Hello arbazu,
    Unfortunately, when setting up a new/replacement printer, you wont be able to use the same email address, nor can it be transferred to another printer. Once an email is used, the email address itself is not able to be used for a certain period of time (which I believe is 6 months).
    However, by creating a new email address, but adding an 01 or 02 at the end, you can get something very similar to what you had previously.

  • Issues with an email account

    I have successfully set up email accounts on iPhones and iPad on Exchange and Gmail servers.
    However, I am frustrated not being able to send messages from a POP account. I am able to receive messages, but when I send a meesage, I get the response: "Cannot send mail. The recipient xxx.com was rejected by the server". This happens for every outgoing email address I try. I have had detailed discussions with the service provider on Outgoing server settings but they are stumped as well. Tried Outgoing servers as "mail.xxx.com" or "smtp.xxx.com" and even a specific IP address that the web server hosting call centre gave me. Nothing works - and I have tried it on iPhone5s, 4s, 3 and iPad. Every time, I get the same error; so I am not able to send any emails from any Apple device from this account. I even tried setting it up as an IMAP account, but I get the same issue i.e. able to recveive emails, but cannot send any email.
    However, I am able to send/receive from my other Exchange and Gmail accounts using the same Apple devices. Can anyone help?
    Thanks
    Shubha

    Check the parameters in your email account against what is recommended by your email provider.
    Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > account
    Have you contacted the support contact at your email provider?

  • Export contacts in CSV, Excel or other format.  I DO NOT want to sync with an email account.  This is for an exemployee who just wants names and numbers in a simple format.

    I have the iPhone 4S, iOS7.0 of an ex-employee.  That person would like a list of their contacts from the phone.  I DO NOT want to sync with another email account, just a simple listing of the contacts.

  • Are there downsides to having gmail or aol email accounts in MAIL?

    Hi,
    My friend has an aol, gmail and .mac email accounts-he's not happy w/ MAIL.
    He is annoyed that if he's away from his main computer and sends emails via the internet (like in gmail) - that there is no way to have his SENT emails download onto his computer. Is there anyway to get that to work?
    I keep telling him to lose the aol account - don't they just stink with MAIL?
    Thanks in advance...

    I'm not sure for AOL, but Gmail offers IMAP support as well as POP 3. The default setting is POP 3 and that might be the reason that your friend can't see the e-mails sent from the browser on his Mac. But if he uses Gmail IMAP then he should see everything. .Mac works the same way as your friend should know since he also have a .Mac account.
    Note: Leopard Mail uses POP 3 by default, if you choose to use IMAP then uncheck the create account automatically option.
