Using send-only email address in Yahoo

[Bezoeker]

I'm trying to configure a single account in AM for a Yahoo mail account that has a send-only address set up.  I have read much earlier threads on what I think is the same subject but have to admit to ending up bamboozled. In desperation I have purchased the Pro version.

Supposing my Yahoo account to be me@yahoo.com, I have configured it with a send-only address, say, alias@mydomain, which I have set as the account’s default sending address. When I send emails from Yahoo webmail the recipient sees alias@mydomain in the From field and alias@mydomain in the Reply-to field. This is what I want to the recipient to see when I send emails from AM.

In AM I have created an account named alias@mydomain for my Yahoo account me@yahoo.com. When I send emails from AM the recipient sees alias@mydomain in the Reply-to field, but me@yahoo.com in the From field which would be confusing for them. How can I get the From field to show alias@mydomain?

The address alias@mydomain does not physically exist - it is just registered with a mail forwarding service that redirects to my Yahoo account. There will be no other email traffic so I only need a single inbox in AM.

I've now solved my problem so I'm posting the solution in case anyone else has the same issue.

Instead of choosing Yahoo when creating my mail account in AM, I chose webmail instead. This allowed me to use alias@mydomain as the email address (whereas when I chose Yahoo I was forced to use a @yahoo.com address). I then used the correct Yahoo parameters for setting up the account for sending via SMTP (having noted them down previously when I had set up the now-redundant me@yahoo.com account in AM). With alias@mydomain as the Reply-to setting, sending mail works as I want, with the recipient seeing alias@mydomain in both the From and Reply-to fields.
