Using .Mac aliases in Mail?

I registered two aliases, one for registrations and one for mailing lists I'm on so that it's easy to sort the stuff out. It's working pretty well so far, but unfortunately I can't put mail on the list from Mail because of the fact that it automatically sends from the main address and not the alias, and hence it gets bounced for not being on the list. I know I can specify which I want to send from when I'm logged in to .Mac on the Apple website, but that kind of defeats the purpose of using Mail in the first place at that point. Is there a way around this without registering my main account with the list?

Paul,
if you have set up your .Mac account as IMAP or POP (instead of .Mac), you can manually add the aliases to that account - simply add the additional email adresses to the address field in the account preferences, separating the individual addresses by commas. You should then get an account popup for outgoing messages which allows you to specify the sending account.

.Mac Aliases in Mail Preferences?

On my Powerbook, it is not showing my .Mac aliases, and there is no button in the Mail preferences that allows me to show .Mac aliases. I'm baffled as to why this is. On my work Mac (an 2005 iMac (don't have specifics here at home)), there is a button in the preferences that allowed me to include the aliases in the Account pulldown menu when composing a message. I synch between the two computers using .mac as well, but my home computer is my primary computer.
Any ideas as to why this is working on one computer and not the other? Is my version of "Mail" just old? If so, how can I download a newer version?

I just found that on my home Powerbook, the .mac account is set to be a POP instead of a .Mac. I disabled the account and created a new one with the same settings except making it the correct kind of account, and the aliases now work.

Using .Mac alias in Mail

I have created a .mac alias on the .mac website. I then created a .mac account using this alias in Mail. (In additon to my orginal .mac account) However, I am unable to send mail using it. It asks for a password. I'm assuming you use the orginial .mac account password. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated! Thank you, Sue

You don't create a .Mac account alias as a separate account with Mail.
All messages sent to a .Mac account alias are deposited in your .Mac account's Inbox mailbox. To send messages from a .Mac account alias, you select the alias email address from the Account selection located under the message header when composing a message.

How do I create HTML mail using Mac OS X Mail 2.0.7?

I know how to create an HTML page. How do I send it as HTML e-mail? OS X Mail receives HTML e-mail. It's kind of hard to believe it can't send it as well. I've tried pasting it in and attaching it - neither works. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jim Carruth
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I know how to create an HTML page. How do I send it
as HTML e-mail?
You open the page with Safari and use a menu option to send the page as email.
10.5 is supposed to add html email to Mail.

Problem using .Mac account with Mail.

About a week-and-a-half ago, the Mail app started showing the error "Cannot Get Mail: The connection to 'mail.mac.com' failed."
I'm not really sure why it's doing this, seeing as how I didn't change any of the settings or invoke the problem, as far as I can tell. I've tried removing the account on my iPod touch and then syncing to the computer, but that didn't work. Any succession of removing/adding the address again fails.
Anyone sure what the deal is? I mean, if it's something stupidly obvious that I'm just not seeing, feel free to mock me.

I just wiped the whole thing clean and started fresh. Works fine now, oddly enough.

Using .mac aliases with iPhone

I have an alias email that I use as my primary....how do I embrace this on the iphone? I can receive emails to this alias but my reply seems to be with my account email....any thoughts?

I spent about 20-25 minutes trying to find a definitive solution to this question at work this evening. Here's what I've come up with...
You can only configure the .Mac account email to work with your primary account for sending/receiving on the device. Which means that even though I can receive alias messages, I can only send from the primary account.
I dispatched an email to .Mac support and waiting to hear, perhaps they might know or have verified this to be true as well.

Help! Using email .mac aliases with iPhone???

I hope I can explain this in simple terms. Does anyone know why or how to use a different alias under my .mac email account with iPhone? In other words, I use one of my alias email addresses as my primary, but in iPHone there isn't a place to designate which account I want mail sent from...so right now if comes from my main .mac account name.
Why didn't they think about this?

The iPhone does not support .mac aliases at this time.

Once again, my .mac aliases have disappeared from Mail.... Arghhh! help?

Once again, with no warning, all my .mac aliases have disappeared from the dropdowns in my Mail app (OS 10.4.11). They still exist in .mac/mobile me webmail, and in Mail i'm still receiving emails addressed to them. But I can't reply to these emails with the alias, nor create new emails with aliases.
I have tried Sync-ing with the site- i recollect that has worked in the past, but now no change. i have tried adding the aliases in with commas after the primary address in Preferences (as is suggested in KB below), but it does not work- and the next time Prefs is open, they are gone. In Mail preferences, the account is listed as ".mac", which is listed in the KB as one of the correct types (the other being imap).
I use my .mac aliases a lot, and have for years. i do NOT like or want to go to .mac/me Webmail to be able to use them. i do NOT want to change them to .me addresses/aliases. I can't stand how they just randomly come and go as far as being available as dropdowns in Mail... what the heck is up with Apple? i'm paying $100 for these kinds of services (excuse me, $99) and they can't keep a few aliases available to their own app (Mail)? If they weren't so deeply embedded in my business uses, i'd ditch the whole thing.
Anyway, enuf ranting; does anyone know the solution or work-around? Nothing in the below KB worked for me, even tho it is supposed to.
the non-helpful KB: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2296

If your aliases are disappearing after you enter them, that would indicate that your Mail preferences file has become corrupted. The only solution for that is to delete the com.apple.mail.plist file in Home/Library/Preferences, then restart Mail and setup your account(s) again.
However, before you do that, you must remove all your mail account folders that being with "IMAP-"; otherwise you'll create more problems for yourself. Those are located in Home/Library/Mail.

Using Gmail Aliases with iOS 8 Mail App

I'm wondering if there is any way to use gmail aliases with the default mail app. I've already tried the methods listed on these two sites:
http://www.nathanpjones.com/wp/2014/01/using-gmail-aliases-in-ios-7/
http://tbb.co/sending-from-a-gmail-alias-on-ios-8/
I can already send from a few different aliases with the default mail app on Mac. I have two step authentication setup on on my gmail account so I've these methods with both my normal password and app specific passwords generated by Google. Is there something that I'm missing?

Seems to work properly for me. Are we looking at the same place? to instruct it to Delete instead of Archive:
In Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > (select account) > Account (select your e-mail address) > Advanced.
Mailbox Behavior for Deleted Mailbox: Trash.
then
Move Discarded Messages Into: Deleted Mailbox.
It wasn't this way by default. Move Discarded was Archive, and it gave the results you described. Changing that to Deleted works for me.
I set the Swipe left-to-right to Archive. So now one swipe will Archive, the other will Delete.
oooh... p.s.... this seems to work as well:

I use mac mail on my network, when i file it into a folder is stays in my inbox, how do i get it out of my inbox?

All of a sudden mail ends up in the wrong folders how do i fix this
i use mac mail, i have three machines with my account set up on it. Today i find also that when i filed items out of my in box and there is still a copy in my inbox and one in the folder i moved it to, it should only be in the folder i moved it to

Are they Smart Folders? Smart Folders don't actually hold e-mail messages, but reflect what is filed elsewhere.

I use Mac Mail. How do I set up an email to get a delivery or read receipt?

I use Mac Mail. How do I set up an email to get a delivery or read receipt? In other words, I want to receive automated confirmation that the email was either delivered, opened, or both -- which you can do in Outlook. I was not able to find this option in the Mail menu.

Unfortunately OS X Mail does not offer this feature as far as I know. With Apple failing to offer that feature up until now I highly doubt it'll happen in the future :/

I want to use Mac Mail for my work email address, which containts multiple outbound options (i.e. hr@, me@ etc). Is there a way to set up Mac Mail to have an account with multiple outbound addresses rather than adding in multiple accounts?

This sounds like the age old problem with keychain & Safari. I don't know of a way to solve it without using something like 1Password.
The iOS app has it's own built in browser, so it has more control over what gets autofilled. Safari on OS X has an 1Password extension that handles account selection & autofill etc.
Keychain is great in principle, but it quickly falls down when you need tight integration with many ID's & different use cases (work, home etc).
I'd suggest you submit feedback to Apple about your thoughts. I did so years ago about this issue & this is how far we have come (back to the point where me.com synced passwords) :^)
http://apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
Other tools like lastpass or keypassx may also help if you want to truly segregate password storage, but that doesn't fix autofill, the way around that issue is to dedicate one browser for work.

I just got my Mac and I used my family Apple ID. It had all of my parent's information, I added my e-mail.I wanted to make my own Apple ID, but I couldn't use the same e-mail address again! How do I delete this information so I can make my own Apple ID?

It is not clear how or where you "added" your email, but you cannot create an Apple ID using an email address that is already associated with another Apple ID.
If that is what you did, delete that email address from your family's Apple ID. You should be free to create a new one.
Do all that by starting here: https://appleid.apple.com/
Select "Manage your Apple ID". Log in with your family's Apple ID and then delete your own email address wherever it appears.
Save Changes, log out, and create the new one using the same website. This time select "Create an Apple ID".
Please don't forget your security questions, and be sure to specify a "rescue email address" that is separate from all other Apple IDs. You will avoid so many problems that way...

I have an iMac, and have a Verizon DSL account. Recently, my Mac Mail keeps requesting the passwords on my account every few minutes, and will not allow me to send messages using Mac Mail. I cannot edit the outgoing server; how can I send emails?

I have an iMac, and have a Verizon DSL account (3 email addresses). Recently, my Mac Mail keeps requesting the passwords on my accounts every few minutes, and will not allow me to send messages using Mac Mail (the message says that the outgoing server was rejected. I cannot edit the outgoing server, and the keychain will not save my passwords (the ports are valid). How can I change the outgoing server to send emails, and how can I avoid having Mail request my passwords every 2 minutes? Verizon, as usual, will not provide support to iMacs.

Is there an email saved in your drafts or outbox folder? I suspect that Mail is continually trying to send it, and each time Google is rejecting the email message.
You can open the message and then delete it from your Outbox folder. Then try removing all @gmail email addresses from it and seeing whether you can send to the other folks. I suspect that will work.
With email, if an SMTP server *can* verify email addresses, sometimes it will and it will refuse to send messages. If a message has to be relayed across servers, no verification is done, and you'll get a bounce if an email address is bad.

We used to get a 'whooshing' noise when we sent an eMail using mac Mail. This no longer happens. We recently updated to Mountain Lion 10.8.1 Can anyone throw light on this please? David
