Change sending address.
« on: September 30, 2017, 08:32:13 am »
Thank you for your assistance and for allowing me to explain a little first.

I have a Gmail Account that is setup with pop3 settings to bring my mail in from my server where my mail is hosted. GMail makes use of my servers smtp settings to send mail. Therefore whenever I send an email the address that is sent with my mail is for instance "myname@domain.com" and not my Gmail address.

I have setup Aqua Mail to access my GMail Account so as to access my mail.

However when I send mail from within Aqua Mail it sends it with my GMail login address and not with "myname@domain.com".

How can I continue to access my Gmail within Aqua Mail but that my address that is sent with any email by default would "myname@domain.com" as is the case from within my Gmail Account.

I have tried to find such but have been struggling a bit.

With many thanks
Dave.

If I understand what you're trying to do correctly, try this:
long press on account (in account list) > Options and folders > Composing and sending > Reply to <myname@domain.com>

No, that would still have "From: you@gmail.com".

The correct solution would be:
1. Long-press on the account -> "Account setup" ->  "Manual". -> On each screen note the current value, then before "finish", go back to the beginning (or finish and start over.
Change "From" to username@domain.com
Then use the rest of the values as they were.

2. In addition you can (optionally): Change the SMTP server to your company's one.

Alternatively to this, if you have a paid app, you can also add an identity to that account with the settings as in #1 and, optionally in #2.

My apologies to davpet and my thanks to StR. And I must say I feel like an idiot because I have one of my accounts set up exactly the way the OP is requesting. I either misunderstood what the OP wanted, or I thought I was in the correct place but wasn't.

Right, this is an "identity" (we don't fetch the identities automatically during account setup, perhaps we could...)
