Using Several Email Accounts and Sending from One

First issue:
I use three email accounts on my iPhone (MobileMe, Gmail, and an institutional account). All of my incoming messages are routed to my MobileMe account. This way I can have access to all three accounts but I only have to look at the MobileMe inbox for new messages.
I'd like to respond to messages using my Gmail address even though I'm reading them in MobileMe to which they are redirected. Is it possible to set Gmail as the default outgoing address (even within the MobileMe view) so that I don't have to manually switch the "From" field when I compose a new message?
Second issue:
When I forget to switch the "From" field to Gmail, it tries to send using my MobileMe address, which seems like the natural result. But every time I hit send it tells me that the server can't be reached (or some similar error), and it refers to my address as "@mac.com" instead of "@me.com". Does the suffix account for the error? How can I fix this, assuming I can't resolve the first issue above?
Thanks.

check this:
Tools > Account Settings > Copies & Folders.
do not select / uncheck the box:
'place replies in the folder of the message being replied to'
click on OK to save changes.

MAIL - click REPLY, Mail uses different email account to send reply

Hi.
When I click reply in MAIL the from field gets filled with one of my other account emails. I want the from email address to be the same as the original address the other person used. I get the drop down window to decide which account to use. But MAIL always picks the same less used account to fill the field. I have looked and can't find the way to fix this.
The "send new message from" box has the proper email/account highlighted. Mail still uses one of my other accounts/emails -- mind you it is always the same account it uses.

One option you can do is to rename the plist file, which keeps track of your mail options. It's possible it's corrupt and not recognizing your change. The downside is you may have to enter your mail account information and options again.
If you want to try it, close the mail application. Go to "your user name"/library/preferences and find com.apple.mail.plist . Hold down the alt key, click on it, and rename it, perhaps to com.apple.mail.oldplist. Restart mail, which will create a new plist file. Go into Preferences and on the composing tab set it to what you want. If that now works, you can erase the file you renamed, or just leave it there if you want.

Someone is using my email address and sending virus emails how can I stop this happening?

Someone has hijacked my address book and is sending virus infected mail using my email address to other people in my address book. How do I get rid of this hacker from my Mac, and how do I prevent this happening again.

Your mail account has almost certainly been hacked on the server, not on your computer, unless someone has had access to the latter.
Log in to the mail server's web interface and change the password. If you use the same password for any other accounts, change those passwords too, and make them all different. Internet passwords should be random strings of at least 10 characters. You most likely don't need to, and should not be able to, remember them. They should be saved in your keychain and backed up with the rest of your data.
One way to generate a secure password is the following. Triple-click anywhere the line below to select it:
openssl rand -base64 10 | cut -c-14 | open -f -a TextEdit
Copy the selected line to the clipboard (command-C). Launch the Terminal application and paste into the window that opens (command-V). A string of 14 random characters will appear in a TextEdit window. Use that string, or a substring, as the password. To generate another random string, press the up-arrow key and then the return key with the Terminal window active. You can then quit Terminal.
If the compromised account is on Gmail, then changing the password may not be enough. Follow all of Google'sinstructions to secure it.

How do I get my email accounts to synch from one device to another so I don't have to check my email twice?

I don't want to have to go through my email on my iPhone & again in my iPad. Is there some setting to remember what I do (deletes, flags, etc) on
one device to the other?

It all depends on which email service you are using and whether the account is POP or IMAP. If deleting an email on one device does not delete it on another device using the same account, then most likely your account is POP, an older technology. Consider setting up a new account that is IMAP, that type of service lets you do what you are asking about.

I am using a microsoft exchange email account and folders from my outlook account are not showing up in my inbox?, I am using a microsoft exchange email account and folders from my outlook account are not showing up in my inbox?

I just imported my microsoft outlook inbox to my iphone and when I look in the email acount emails that have been set to filter to folders in my outlook account to named folders via a rule do not appear in my iphone, even though I have selected those folders to push in the exchange settings. Any ideas?

Your messages shouldn't be lost, you can check via webmail if they do exist on the server.
Verify you do have the Google recommended settings.

Verify you subscribed to all the folders you want to see.

HT1420 I have two accounts one opened in 2009 with an old email account , and a new one when we purchased iphones in january, can i merge the accounts?

can i merge two accounts

Hey threeparrots,
The following resource addresses your question:
Frequently asked questions about Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5622
I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.
If you are wondering how using multiple Apple IDs relate to iCloud, see Apple IDs and iCloud.
Thanks,

Two email accounts and outlook integration

Hi, all-
We are using the Outlook Integration in B1 version 2007A p. 42. My Outlook version is 2007. We are morphing to emailing invoices to customers instead of snail-mailing them. My problem is I have an accounting user that has 2 email accounts as we run different divisions in B1 all out of the same company. B1 does not give her the option to choose what email account to send from - it simply sends from her default email account. This causes a huge problem as she has to manually switch her default email account in Outlook every time she sends for a different division. This is prone to huge human error issues.
All of our business partners are assigned by division using a division designation stored in a UDF.
Question: is there any way I can configure B1 to somehow send this division designation to Outlook, and can I configure Outlook to read this field, add the proper divisional signature to the email, then send it through the proper account?
Thanks,
Shelby

Maybe you should ask on a Microsoft forum rather than one dedicated to the using the iPhone in an enterprise environment.

I have 4 email accounts in apple Mail. My mail is sending from the wrong account. even on "reply" it sends from a different account. I have 3 gmail accounts and one exchange server account. I choose which account to send from and it still sends from the same gmail account. Help.

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???

HT201320 on my iPad3, i have my company email address and my gmail email account and yahoo email account. i send out email using my company's email account, but the recipient recieves mail as the From: my gmail account. why is this happening?

on my ipad3, i have a company email account, gmail account, and a yahoo account. my issue is that when using my company email account (making sure that my company email account is on the From: field), the recepient on the over end receives it with my google email account on the From:. and so when they reply, it goes to my gmail account.
Please note that my "default email" is yahoo.com on the ipad's settings - > mail.
i do not have any forwarding and this only happens on my ipad.
Advice is appreciated. Thank you

ios devices can only send emails from the default sending email you setup that in the settings

I have several email account setup on iphone. for one of them can receive from/to emails from phone, but emails sent from computer not received on phone. phone shows receiving but does not come thru

I have iphone 4s with several email accounts set up. For one of these accounts, and only one, test emails sent from phone come thru fine. But computer generated mail doesn't come to phone. For test messages phone shows "receiving" but nothing comes to inbox. External sent mail does not come to phone inbox, but does to outlook on computer. Have checked settings and these seem correct. What's up? Four other accounts work fine.

If you can send e-mail when on WiFi from home, but not when on 3G, that indicates your email provider is blocking e-mail being sent from outside their network. This is done to control Spam. ISPs who do this will usually have a separate SMTP server that should be used when using a mobile device. Check with them again.

HT1146 I have three email accounts will only let me send from one no matter what I do, changes in composing please help

Have three mail accounts can only send from one all the time, done changes in composing still not working

RESOLVED!!! I logged on to my Straight Talk online account, and did a Tech Chat. They immediately gave me a direct phone number and a Reference PIN number and asked me to contact their iPhone specialty support. I called (of course the gentleman's accent was very difficult for me to understand, but managed with asking continually for clarity). He walked me through several tests, setting changes and had me get on my wifi to obtain the latest APN settings. None of his efforts worked ad it was obviously NOT my Straight Talk iPhone 5, 64GB CDMA (no SIM) - it was something with their setting on their end on my account. I was placed on hold a few times and he would come back on to have me try to get on Safari and even Google... after the 3rd on-hold, he returned and asked me to try to use my data again without the wifi turned on and BINGO it worked... I still do not have my wifi turned on and I'm still receiving texts from YESTERDAY too while I was away from wifi service. IF you come across this issue - please call Straight Talk and/or log on to your Straight Talk online account and talk to an online customer service representative and get their direct line phone number for iPhone support and have your Reference PIN number available. Good Luck

Cannot send or receive yahoo mail or gmail from iPhone . installed ios 6 recently. tried rebooting the phone and deleting the email account and adding again but nothing works ! can someone suggest a solution?

Not sure about yahoo, but for gmail, I done the following:
Set up using Exchange on iPhone, it'll keep prompting for password. On PC use captcha option, log in to gmail account from PC after completingg captcha option, enter password on iPhone.
See how that goes for gmail, let us know.
Hopefully someone will have fix for yahoo.
