Viewing email sent to an alias in Mail v3.2

I've recently added an alias to my .mac email account in an effort to try an manage my email more effectively. When I view my email through the .mac website, I can see the emails sent to my alias and they are highlighted a different colour, which allows me to quickly differentiate between senders.
However when viewing my .mac email account using Mail v3.2, i can see all messages but those sent to my alias are not highlighted. Is there a setting I need to adjust in Mail? Otherwise having the alias is pretty pointless for me.
Cheers
Frankie

I am also having this problem. I've had my .Mac account for three years and, while I want the convenience of using Mac Mail, like you said, aliases are pointless if not indicated. I'm forced to use web-based email. I had this problem with Mail ever since I've started my .Mac account and was hoping the Leopard upgrade would solve it, too little avail.
Sorry to piggyback, but I wanted to be notified if there is a solution. If you've found anything else out, please let me know!
Regards,
Drew

  • Can you sync email sent from the iPhone to Mail.app?

    When you send an email from iPhone, can you have it sync'd to the Sent folder of your Mail.app on your Mac? I had a look through the iPhone user guide and couldn't find the answer to this quesion.

    It seems this is an unfair
    disadvantage for POP users.
    disconnekt,
    I think your perception on this issue comes from an unwillingness to accept that POP email was never designed to take advantage of the features you want. It was conceived as a single client/server email retrieval system. It was nothing to do with "fairness". It is what it is.
    Your desire to have the ability to receive, manipulate, and send email using different devices (iphone/desktop/laptop) yet have all those changes synchronized regardless of which device is used is a valid one. Many people (including myself) feel that way. However, I doubt Apple will spend significant development resources in finding a POP solution to this because it has already been done.
    It's called IMAP accounts.
    In fact, apple has adopted this protocol in it's own email services, .mac My guess is that most development resources will likely be spent along enhancing functionality in their chosen platform, not POP
    Unfortunately, that still leaves you in your current situation. If you can accept what POP is (and what it is not), you can take action on a possible solution rather than wait/hope one will be developed for you. I would advise slowly transitioning to an IMAP account as this seems to be more suited to your needs. I had 4 POP accounts exclusively until I got tired of being limited to checking and sending all my mail from home. I didn't want to check or send mail on my laptop, because once I did, those messages would have already been "downloaded/uploaded" and thus unavailable/unseen when I checked mail on my home computer. My mail ended up scattered across 2 devices. (sound familiar?) I dreaded changing email accounts because I felt I would lose important contacts in the process. In reality, it was no more devastating than a home address change when you move (which I'm sure you've done before)
    Here's how I did it:
    1. Get an IMAP account. (.mac is one. There are many)
    2. Most POP accounts allow for auto email forwarding, enable this feature to funneled all your mail to your new IMAP account.
    3. Create a signature announcing your new email address and use this on all outgoing email.
    4. Continue this until you feel comfortable dropping your old POP account. (I have yet to delete mine and it's been almost 2 years.)
    Also note, that you could actually keep your old POP account indefinitely. Senders would just notice that all outgoing mail to you is addressed to a different domain then all incoming mail received from you.
    Make the change. Based on what you've want you'll be glad you did.

  • When I check usage in my iPad 2, Mail shows it is using 2G.  Removing all emails (sent, trash, etc) it is still using 1.9G.  Is this normal?

    When I check usage on my iPad2, Mail shows it is using 2G.  When I remove all emails (sent, trash, etc) it shows Mail is still using 1.9G.  Is this normal?

    When you do an upgrade, sometimes the pad goes back to the isp server for the unread count.  These are likely old e mails that you never opened, and are so far down the list that they dont make it to your oad.  In any event - go to the mail server via safari or on a computer and use webmail.  You can find those emails there and delete them -

  • Setting up account for an alias in mail

    I have created an alias on me.com for an email for my dart club. Can i create a mail account which retrieves only the emails sent to the alias? When I try setting up an account for the alias address, all of my emails to my regular account are downloaded as well. What to do?
    Thanks in advance!

    Thanks, I noticed I was wrong here to late, reposted in Leopard-forum and forgot to delete... Sorry.

  • When I am logged in to iCloud mail via internet browser, why can't I view my sent emails?

    When I am logged in to iCloud mail via internet browser, why can't I view my sent emails?

    Who is the mail provider, what is the mail client, which version of Windows is this.

    When I go into my mail and select the sent item tab it boots be out. Without letting me view my sent email

    Another easy thing to try is to quit the mail app completely and restart the iPad.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Did you send an email with a large attachment by any chance?

  • How can I send email from my yahoo alias account in iPhone5 mail?

    How can I send email from my yahoo alias account in iPhone5 mail?
    I have 2 email accounts: [email protected] is an alias of [email protected]
    In my old iPhone3 I had these accounts set up so that I could send and receive email from both accounts. I did this using the following settings:
    ‘Other’ POP account info:
    Name: xyz
    Address: [email protected]
    Description: alias
    Incoming mail server:
    Host name: pop.mail.yahoo.com
    User name: [email protected]
    Password: password for yahoo account
    Server port: 995
    Outgoing mail server:
    SMTP: smtp.o2.co.uk (o2 is the name of my phone network)
    Server port: 25
    ‘Yahoo!’ account info:
    Name: xyz
    Address: [email protected]
    Password: password for yahoo account
    Description: Yahoo!
    Outgoing mail server:
    Primary server: Yahoo! SMTP server
    Server port: 465
    I’ve tried using the same settings in my new iPhone5, but it doesn’t work. I can receive mail to both accounts, and can send from the Yahoo account, but I cannot send mail from the alias account. When I try, it displays the message: “Cannot send mail. A copy has been placed in your Outbox. The recipient ‘[email protected]’ was rejected by the server”.
    I’ve tried to configure the POP alias account using combinations of ‘pop.mail.yahoo.com’, ‘pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk’, ‘apple.pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk’ and ‘apple.pop.mail.yahoo.com’, for the incoming host, and ‘smtp.o2.co.uk’, ‘smtp.mail.yahoo.com’, ‘smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk’, ‘apple.smtp.mail.yahoo.com’ and ‘apple.smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk’ for the outgoing mail server. None of these have worked.
    I’ve also tried setting it up using IMAP instead of POP without success. I tried configuring it using combinations of ‘imap.mail.yahoo.com’, ‘apple.imap.mail.yahoo.com’, ‘imap.mail.yahoo.co.uk’ and ‘apple.imap.mail.yahoo.co.uk’ for the incoming mail server and ‘smtp.o2.co.uk’, ‘smtp.mail.yahoo.com’, ‘smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk’, ‘apple.smtp.mail.yahoo.com’ and ‘apple.smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk’ for the outgoing mail server.
    Yahoo say that if I can't send Yahoo! Mail from my mail program, I may be accessing the Internet through an ISP that is blocking the SMTP port, and that if this is the case, I should try setting the SMTP port number to 587 when sending email via Yahoo!'s SMTP server. I don't think that this is the problem, but I tried it just to make sure - without success.
    I’ve also heard that the problem might have something to do with the SPF settings of my alias domain provider. I’m not too sure exactly what SPF settings are, or how to change them, but from what I can gather it seems unlikely that this is the problem given that I was able to send mail from my alias account on my old iPhone3.
    Any help much appreciated: how can I get my alias account to send emails in iPhone5 mail?
    Many thanks,
    Patrick

    A new development: I've tried sending emails from the alias several times over the past 24 hours, but in general I've deleted them if they haven't sent within about half an hour.
    However, one of the messages I left sitting in the outbox did send successfully in the end, but this took about an hour.
    So: perhaps my problem is not in fact that I am completely unable to send mail from my alias, but that I can only do so intermittently and extremely slowly, and by ignoring the "cannot send" message.
    Any help appreciated.

  • Not receiving email to my .Mac alias's in mail.

    Mail in my new Mac Book Pro is set up just like my Powerbook next to it, however mail coming in to my alias's is missing from the Mac Book Pro.
    Mail is set up exactly the same. What could cause the Mac Book Pro but not the Powerbook to loose these emails in cyberspace?
    Thanks

    Are you sure it’s just the messages sent to the alias? Could it be that your .Mac account is set up as POP on the other computer?

  • Why do emails sent to my iCloud alias address sometimes get bounced back to the sender

    I'm using iCloud email on a Macbook Pro Retina display 15" laptop with Yosemite 10.10.1 I'm using an alias address for much of my email. Fairly often, messages sent to the alias address are bounced back to the sender with a message that says "illegal alias". But often the same sender can get a message to me without problems. Any ideas about this sporadic and annoying problem?

    Hi there, this was the initial reason that I joined the Apple Support Community. I can tell you that I'm facing the same issue. I've switched over to the '@icloud.com' domain in the past few days after using the icloud mail feature for a couple of months with the '@me.com' domain.
    In the iCloud.com settings within the Mail 'app' both my email addresses (the same name, only seperated with the iCloud & Me domains) appear with the option of selecting which one I'd prefer to receive mail at.
    I'm just going to stop there to make sure we're both on the same page,
    Cheers.

  • ICloud emails sent from apple mail or iPhone 3gs never arrives, works fine when sent from iCloud website

    The ony place I have been able to send and receive email since the launch of iCloud has been the icloud website. I wasn't able to send email from my iphone 3gs or apple mail at all until today, now it finally appears to let me send email but it never arrives to its destination.
    I can send an email from the icloud website without issue, and email sent from my icloud account using my iphone 3gs and apple mail seems to send fine and without error but who knows where it goes.
    Has anyone else experienced this issue?
    Thanks!
    Charles

    I figured out how to fix it... if anyone else has this problem, go to Outlook > Preferences > Accounts > select the IMAP account > Advanced > Folders and for "Store Sent Messages in this Folder:" select "Sent Messages (Server)."

  • I have a problem with mail autofilling info email addresses. Emails sent to me the from looks like this: Holiday in the United States email address . I have no idea what this Holiday in the United States is...How can I fix/change to my name?

    I have an irritating problem with mail autofilling info in email addresses. Emails sent to me the from looks like this: Holiday in the United States <my email address>. I have no idea what this Holiday in the United States is or how it got to be there...How can I fix/change to my name?
    I fixed the To: autofilling incorrectly by deleting my email address from the Previous Recipients List, but is there a way to stop that from coming up on emails that I receive?

    Have you checked your Mac address book? If your email is saved somewhere in your address book with the name "Holidays in the United States" it might be adding the name automatically in Mac Mail.
    Alternatively, try this:
    Delete an Email Address from Auto-Complete in Mac OS X Mail
    To remove an email address from the auto-complete list in Mac OS X Mail:
    Start typing the recipient's address or name in a new message.
    Select the desired address from the auto-complete list as if you'd compose an email to them.
    Click the small down arrow in the recipient.
    Select Remove from Previous Recipients List from the menu.
    You can also search for the unwanted address directly in the previous recipients list:
    Select Window | Previous Recipients from the menu in Mac OS X Mail.
    Highlight the address you want to remove.You can highlight multiple addresses by holding down the Command key.
    Click Remove from List.

  • How to access mail if different users use same email - sent, trash, etc, are not the same in both user's thunderbird. How do I fix that?

    I have different users on my computer, me, spouse, etc. We share the same email. I have thunderbird loaded correctly in one account. In the other account it only grabs the inbox messages, not the sent messages. How do I get it so both thunderbirds work in both accounts on the same computer? Right now I need to switch user to view the sent emails that are sent from the other account.

    IMAP will sync messages, but if your sharing on a single computer you would probably be better off sharing the same profile. It is not as if you will both be using it at the same time. The information in this link should help with that.
