Why is email sent from my Ipad not showing my name?

Mail on my wife's iPad is set up with my GMAIL account using Exchange protocol. Whenever she sends anyone email, the recipient see my name in the from field but her email address. I followed the settings below:
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>My Info
In there I set up her contact card as her "My Info" however when she sends mail, my name is still showing in the FROM field.
Any Ideas?

For Exchange GMail there is a way to set your iOS device to use a different "Send As" name than when using a computer. Unfortunately in your case, you can set your computer to send an alternate name but the iOS device can only send the default GMail name, which is the name associated with your account. Ideally, you would like your iOS device to use the alternate and let your computer use the default.
But if you want to play around with this ...
1- On the iOS device itself, use Safari to navigate to m.google.com/sync. You will have to log in at the prompt with your GMail account info.
2- Select the iOS device name (in case you have multiple iOS devices using Google sync).
3- Select "Enable 'Send Mail As' for this device" and Save the changes.
4- Using a computer, log into your GMail account and select Settings/ Accounts and Import, then at the "Send mail as" prompt select "edit info" (off to the right).
5- Change your outgoing name.
The name you specify in #5 will be used by your computer, but the iOS device will continue using the original (default) outgoing name. You can see why you need the opposite in your case, so unless you can change the default to be your wife's name and then set the alternate to be your name, I think you're out of luck.

Email sent from Nexus 4 not showing in Mail client

Going from an iPhone to an Android device has it's own issues, but one that shouldn't be an issue is that of IMAP emails.
In replying to any email from the Nexus 4, it will not be available to view in Apple's Mail client, which I use for all 5 of my email accounts. It will show in Mail that the email has been replied to with the arrow on the left of the email, but it will not allow me to click on the arrow to see the email I sent. It gives me an error message, 'Mail was unable to find your reply to the message "email subject title". You may have deleted the message'. Nope, I didn't delete the message, but now I can't see it. This is a very crucial missing element for business reply emails. My compnay uses GMail servers for all it's mail, so it's not a me.com email issue specifically. Funny enough, that email account set up the easiest. It doesn't show messages sent from the Nexus 4 either, but I'm sure it's all part of the same problem.
Is anyone else having this same/similar issue?
Thanks for the help, Bruce.

Why does an email sent from an iPad or iPhone to ms outlook appear with attachments? Example signatures tend to be broken down into a series of unwanted attachments!

Why does an email sent from an iPad or iPhone to ms outlook appear with attachments? Example: signatures at the bottom of the mail tend to be broken down into a series of unwanted attachments!

It worked for me. I took a picture with the iPhone's camera. Then opened the Photos app and selected the picture, and emailed it from one of my IMAP accounts to my gmail (also IMAP) account. When it showed up in the gmail inbox (on my iPhone), I forwarded it to my yahoo mail account (choosing the "inlcude attachments" option). When that showed up on my iPhone's yahoo inbox, the picture was there just as it should be.
So I guess the next thing would be to try it with non-iPhone pictures to see if it is a problem with image size or something. I have some 6-megapixel images in iPhoto I can try (taken as RAW/DEC format pictures with my dSLR).
Just tried it sending a Photo from my computer's iPhoto library - picture is 728KB, 2272x1704 jpeg. I emailed it to my gmail account, and it showed up on the iPhone just fine. Then I forwarded that to my yahoo account and again, it showed up just fine on both the iPhone and reading my yahoo mail via the web page.
Don't know what to say - I don't mean this to be just another "works for me" post. I was hoping to see something maybe depending on the size and origin of the picture.
By the way, my 3GS shipped with 3.0.1 on it, and I've updated it via iTunes normally to 3.1.1 and currently 3.1.2. Sorry I don't have anything constructive to add.

The email sent from macbook do not appear in my iphone and yahoo account

the email sent from macbook do not appear in my iphone and yahoo account

thanks for your help... I was feeling frustrated because the sync problem, but with your suggestion all contacts are now on my iPhone. _Thanks once again_.
I think that I was asking two different questions at the same time, because the problem with the iPhone synchronization was solved, but the .Mac Address Book still has no new contacts... just the contacts before the Mac OS X update to Leopard. I guess that I will need to look for help in other discussion topic.

My emails come from computer to iPhone and iPad, but the emails sent from them do not sync to the computer. Can someone help me solve this? I have a 3Gs

Why the emails sent from MacBook Pro are so wretched?

Really need help, guys..
Why all the emails sent from my Macbook Pro (from Mail and even from website of yahoo mail and gmail), people received it so mussy...so wretched (am not sure the correct word in english)..
People received it without paragraph at all. Although I typed emails with 3 paragraph, turned out people got it in 1 paragraph.
Can somebody tell me what's wrong?

Nothing is wrong on your end. The problem is the way they have set up their email program to display their emails.

HT201855 I only want my email deleted from my iPad NOT the sever...how can I do that? Thanks!

I Only want to delete mail from my iPad not the server. The memory on my iPad is almost gone and it is working slow. I still want to look my mail up on my laptop.
thanks!

FYI: Email messages take up very little space so you should consider removing other items.

Emails sent from mi BB not refreshing in MSOutlook

Hi, i have this enviroment:
- MS Outlook 2010
- BB Curve 8520, v5.0.0.592 (Platform 5.2.0.64), kernel v3.8.5.85
- Gmail account
- Provider: Movistar
I have this configuration:
- Gmail account: POP enabled, IMAP enabled.
- MS Outlook: gmail configure as POP, emails kept in server & delete items deleted in outlook from gmail at sync.
- BB Curve: only use gmail account. Configured by Movistar (i think it uses IMAP), auto sent a copy of the message (in email configuration), has no address saved.
- Last version of BBDesktop for sync all data of the organizer between MSOutlook, and BBCurve (contacts, calendar, tasks & notes).
- My primary app is MSOutlook, then BBCurve, then Gmail.
I need, as my hard disk fail to reinstall. So i translate all to my notebook. PST included. Install BBDesktop in notebook, etc.
Everything is all right (...but):
In my PC i have this:
- Emails sent and receive in Gmail, are sync with Outlook (with a single rule, all emails that i receive from gmail sent by me are moved to Sent Items Foldes in Outlook).
- Emails sent from BB, are sync to Gmail and Outlook.
- Emais sent from Outlook, are sync to Gmail, BB, with the side effect that Outlook gets emails duplicated (that is something to that i get used to, so, there is no problem with it).
Since i move all to my notebook, i can do almost everything, almost:
- The problem is that Emails sent from BB, are sync to Gmail, but not to Outlook!
- I have seen a lot of time all configurations, and all appear to be the same as always.
Solutions & Problem to be solved:
- I try make BB sending me a copy of all outgoing message, automatically, and this seems to work, but now, i get the duplicated email in Gmail.
- As my primary app is still Outlook, i cannot handle the duplicated email to be erased (manually), or i have to connect to Gmail to mantain it clean.
Any idea about the best way to configure Outlook/Blackberry/Gmail to achieve my goals?
Thanks for any idea!

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Not all services are able to sync Sent Items via BIS. Not knowing who hosts your business account, we can't tell you if it should work or not. Here's a matrix that discusses the reconciliation features of various email providers.

Emails sent from Thunderbird are not getting received when signature attached

Emails sent from Thunderbird aren't being received by my yahoo and gmail accounts when I have the signature attached.
It's a business email account, and I really need to have a professional signature.
Thank you
Susan

There is a reason we suggest only composing HTML signature in the composer and saving the file. However, could you email me to see what that signature actually looks like (It might bounce we will see how google likes it.) this forum really messes up HTML source

Emails sent from my iphone not syncing...

Emails sent from my iPhone haven't been syncing with my macbook. Having finally looked into it I've clicked the 'Store sent messages on the server' box and whilst this makes all my iphone sent emails appear on the macbook, all the macbook sent emails then disappear!
How can I fix it so that I receive all sent emails from both iPhone and macbook on both?

It depends on the Email account you have. Who are you with? GMAIL, YAHOO, ICLOUD?

Emails sent on iPhone do not show up on my Mac

I have a few email accounts. For my Gmail account if I send an email on my iPhone, it does not show up on in sent mail on my Mac (or anywhere else for that matter). I am using Apple's Mail application and the emails I am sending from iPhone are also being sent from the mail application as opposed to using the Gmail HTML interface. Gmails sent from my iPhone do show up in sent mail when I open Gmail in a web page. Also, emails sent from my Gmail account on my Mac do show up in sent mail on my iPhone.
I only have this problem with Gmail (my primary email account). My other emails sync up fine between me iPhone and Mac.
Other info:
Outgoing mail server: smtp.gmail.com
Mailbox behaviors: "Drafts Mailbox" and "Trash Mailbox" are listed under Mailbox Behaivors, but there is no "Sent Mailbox" like I have with my other accounts. I have a feeling that this is the root of my problem since I have no way of electing to have my Sent mail stored "On the Server".
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Joelrsny had the much easier fix:
For Sent folder not showing on the iPhone.
ALL of these ways work to add a Gmail account to the iPhone. Its not how you add it, its the settings in Gmail causing these folders not to appear.
Do not add the account to the iPhone first. Go to Gmail.com in a browser, log in to your email account and hit settings at the top right.... Select the Labels Tab at the top. On the right, you will see check boxes. Check all the folders you want to appear in imap accounts. Once you check them, go and add the account by just picking add Gmail account on your iphone settings for mail. ALL the folders you checked will appear...
Done!

Why is Outgoing mail from my iPad not appearing in Outlook 2010?

I have set my iPad to synch with my gmail account. In turn my gmail account downlaods and synchs with Outlook 2010 on my Windows 7 PS.
Everything works except that when I send mail from my iPad or reply to incoming mail from my iPad, my replies, whilst synchronising with my gmail account, and showing in the Sent folder in gmail, do not download to Outlook.
If I log into gmail (from my email or via Safari) and send mail direct from gmail these messagesshow in the Sent box and DO show in iPad gmail outbox and Outlook, though they show in the Outlook inbox!
So the only mail that gets stuck in gmail and won't download to Outlook is outgoing mail sent from gmail in my iPad.
I can work around this by sending a bcc to myself of every outgoing message I send from iPad. In this case the Send copy shows up in the Sent folder in gmail and does not download to Outleook but the bcc copy arrives in nthe Inbox in gmail and does download to Outlook. Its ugly but works.
A proper fix would be better - does anyone have any ideas?

Email sent from iphoto is not listed in sent file

I use an iphoto template to share pictures in iphoto email. The emails are being received but they do not show up in my sent file so I can not check to be sure they were actually sent. I can't figure out why ????

iPhoto doesn't have a "sent file". Simply, emailing from iPhoto is a handy way to send pics to Grandma, it's not a substitute for an email client.
You can bcc yourself automatically. It's an option in the iPhoto Preferences.

Emails sent from my iPad 3

When I send emails they are not appearing anywhere on my iPad not even in the Sent box
Any idea what is causing this?

I'm assuming you and your wife have different accounts and that hers has somehow been used in the setup of your devices/computers. (If you are both sharing one account, then you should consider using separate ones for icloud, otherwise everything you do will be shared with your wife. You can use the same account for itunes to share your purchases, unless you have already made purchases under separate itunes accounts, in which case you'll need to continue doing that.)
On a device, go to settings>icloud and scroll down to the bottom of the page and tap delete account. This will remove all icloud data from your device. Then at the top of the page, log into **your** account and all your data from your account will download.
Also, settings>itunes and apps stores, log out if it's the wrong account and log in using your account ID.

If I have forwarded all of my other email accounts to iCloud. How come emails sent to me are not showing up on my devices? (yes, iCloud is set up on iPhone/iPad)

I was in the Apple Store today because I was getting duplicate emails on my Mac and on my iPhone. So they encouraged me to just use iCloud. I then went to Gmail and changed my settings to forward my email to my iCloud account. I have received nothing on my iPad or iPhone and the emails are just going to the corresponding inboxes on my Mac.
What is going on??

What you've outlined in this part of the post is all that icloud stores for you outside of the backup. If you want to restore from the icloud backup you will then have for all practical purposes a carbon restoration back to your device if you restore from the icloud backup.

Syncing your device with itunes will then enable you to remove whatever photos you wish to remove from your device deleting them with the computer and not the iphone.
