[Q] How do I configure/change "send from" email address? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently bought a Galaxy S3, to replace my present HTC Desire.
So far so good, however I am encountering one thing that I cannot find the solution to.
On my Desire I had an ISP email account configured, with an alias as "send from" email address.
The purpose of this is that I could reply and receive emails, on as well as my phone, home pc and working pc.
On the desire I had the configuring options;
Email address: [email protected]
User name: Frans
Password: password
On the Galaxy I can only enter:
User name: Frans
Password: password
And next thing what happens, is that my "send from" email address is [email protected].
So I want that the S3 sends mails from [email protected], so I get the replies on as well as my pc's as on my phone.
I am searching already for hours to find the solution, but without any result.
Does anybody know, how to do this?

Mail sending question

I have a question..im using outlook on the PPC PE for my POP3 mail account. I can dl and receive messages fine, but the problem lies when im trying to send messages to domains OTHER than my POP3 domain. Example, i cannot send mail to hotmail or yahoo accounts at all. I get an "Invalid Message Recipient" error. Anyone familiar with this problem or could offer some advice? THanks in advance
Your ISP does not allow submissions from the Internet. If you change the smtp server to the one provided by your GPRS service provider then you should be able to send.
where to change ?? please can u tell me step by step how to

It sounds like that when you set up the new pop account in the inbox you ticked the verify user name with you online provider.
If this is the case the solution is
inbox tools options address (then deselect that service provider or add all the new one you wish to check.
Hope this helps
Many of the public email hosters block email if none of their domains are in the "To", "Cc" or "From" fields.
So probably you just need to enter "correct" e-mail address in POP3 service settings. E.g. if your e-mail is located on www.mail.ru - you need to enter [email protected] as your own address - and no mail will be blocked by smtp.mail.ru. Just thy to check "howto's" on your mail hoster website.
HOWTO: Sending mail through GPRS
In fact: they usually check whether one of their users is a recipient for the mail . For this they use the 'Envelope-to', which is what the remote mail server supplies in the SMTP protocol using 'RCPT TO:', and not a line from the mail (otherwise BCC would not work).
If not, they check whether the sending machine is on their network. They usually do this by IP-number, so putting the right mail address in the from line would not help.
So: you need to use the SMTP server supplied by your GPRS provider when sending mail, and not the SMTP server of your ISP.
this is a good thread.
After all, how can you set different usernames/passwords for both services for different ISP's
e.g POP (incoming) from PIPEX
SMTP outgoing using o2.co.uk
Without using two "services" set up on the xda. After all how much of a pain it would be to switch between them, remembering to click the white box on the pop service when you've sent from the other service... argghh.
Am I the only person that hates the way this is setup. Anyone tried a third party POP/SMTP program other than the Microsoft Pocket Outlook Inbox?

HOWTO: POP3 and SMTP made EAZY! on the X01HT

Hello everyone, this is for everyone who would like to get POP3 E-Mail working perfectly on there Hermes.
Model: X01HT
Boot loader: 1.09
ROM: RUU_HERMES_HTC_WWE_1[1].35.255.2_1.35.255.102_1.08.00.10_SHIP.EXE
Carrier: Softbank
Alright, you might have gotten MMS mail to work as I did and then you realized that there are some heavy limitations that correspond with the MMS setup; however there are none with POP3. So POP3 is the obvious choice because it can work with Softbank’s free internet connection without having to do some nifty proxy action to get your MMS mail to work (and we are not sure that part is free yet). Thankfully there is a solution but being a newb like I am it took me a while to figure it out, and I believe there are other newbs out there, so this HOWTO is for all the newbz like me.
All right.
#1. Get a Gmail account, or if you have a pop account with another internet provider this will work too! However, you still need a Gmail account so you can use their SMTP server and send E-Mail from your phone! Your current provider's sendmail server won't work due to your ISP's security restrictions! You need a public sendmail server and the obvious choice is Google... since it's free... makes sense? Just agree damnitt! Ok, get your gmail account at www.gmail.com
#2. Go into Pocket Outlook or "Messaging" on your X01HT!
- Click on
- "Menu" -=>"Tools" -=> "New Account"
- Now you are at "E-mail Setup 1/5"
- Type in your email account which people will see as your return email address
eg. [email protected]
or eg. [email protected]
- Now you are at the "Email Setup 2/5" Auto configuring
- It will do it's auto configuration so let it do it's thing
- Now "Email Setup 3/5" User Information
- Type in your name, people will see this name.
- Here is where it gets important, if you have a Gmail account, type in your username from your gmail account, if you are using your ISP's POP3 account, then type in your username from your ISP.
eg. cool
- On password of course type in your password from your Gmail account or your ISP's pop3 account, click on save password checkbox then click next.
- All right you are successfully on the "Email Setup 4/5" screen! WOO, that means you’re awesome.... I think, so... we are almost there. You should see something that says "Account Type: POP3" and name "Name this anything you want" then click on next.
- "Email Setup 5/5" is your heart beginning to beat fast... I know mine is.... I LOVE EMAIL... It’s so friggen exciting! OKKKK here we go... onto one of the final steps.
- Under "Incoming Mail:" write your mail server's name, if it is Gmail, then type, "pop.gmail.com:995" (995 is the port you are connecting on), if it is your own E-mail POP3 server from your own internet service provider usually it is just connecting on the default POP3 port of 110 and so you just need to type in your pop3 server.
eg. pop.interbaun.com
- Under Outgoing mail server this HAS TO BE LIKE THIS, because there are VERY few free mail servers in the world and Google just happens to be one of them, so I would highly recommend getting a Gmail account for this because.... it is free, free=good and "="=Softbank. HA ... never mind... OK… here we go... to continue the most step by step email setup in history... ok ... here we go..
- "Outgoing Mail: smtp.gmail.com:465"
- Click -=> "Options" (Options 1/3) then Click -=> "Next" -=> (Options 2/3) then this is important, if you are completely on Google, and you are using a google email address to pop, then you must click on "Require SSL Connection" but if you are using your ISP's email address then do not click on the checkbox.
- Click on "Outgoing Mail Requires"
- Click on "Use Separate Settings"
- Click on "Outgoing Settings"
- Type in your Gmail username under "Username"
- Type in your Gmail password under "Password"
- Click on the checkbox "save password"
- Click on "Require SSL for outgoing Mail"
- Click on "OK" in the top right hand corner of the friggen LCD screen damnitt
- Click on "Next" You will then see a message box and within the message box is "Get message headers only", you can change this to "Get full copy of messages" but... I don't, I really don't see any reason too, because we all get friggen spam and there will be an option below each email to download a full copy of the email if we want...so really there is no point cuz if you look underneath it, it will say in a checkbox "Include 2KB of message body" which is more than enough to get a good idea of what is going on..... Anyways.... yer done...
- Click on "Finish"
This has been brought to you just cuz, for some reason I had a seriously huge problem figuring this one out, anyways, hope this can help some people, and If you have any comments or questions, feel free to message me, it never hurts to help . And..... umm.. ya... gnite'!
-Joe.

Mail limit
Thanks for the guide, but i am running into a small problem. I am only able to retreive the first 275 messages in my gmail account. Is there a limot in mobile outlook that I can change? Thanks
keep getting Incoming e-mail password
@kilihari -
i followed your set to setup gmail and defined a POP3 gmail. i tried to connect to the gmail and did a send/receive from the mail Menu option. then i keep getting the Incoming E-mail password screen. retype the username and password, it did not retrieved my gmail e-mail
please advice.
Very good explanation Kilihari! Great work.
I was wandering though how would this affect the phone bill if you dont have the flat rate unlimited internet?
I want to keep my bill as low as possible, so although I got the Gold plan from the promotion I didn't get any internet package.
solve own problem:
after you have completed Kilihari's POP3 setup how to guide. you need to sign on to your gmail account, from there select Setting, select Forwarding and POP configuration option. make sure you Enable POP gmail setting.
Any chance to configure Gmail in order to have the emails sent from your Hermes (using the Gmail SMTP) appear in the sent folder of the gmail web interface ? Would be perfect...
Reply to the last post about Gmail.
No, when you send from gmail then it will always make the email appear like it was sent from Gmail, I have not found a workaround. So I called my internet provder at home here and I am allowed to send from my Japan internet provider from my Keitai. So that was cool, but the best workaround that I can say to do would be to have Gmail forward all the email back to your email address that is on your keitai (hermes).

[Q] stock mail issue - HTML tags displayed, all parts of multipart mails displayed

Hello, tried searching , can't find anything here.
I have push email with stock email client, connected to my company's Notifylink server, the main mail server is Groupwise.
The stock email client is displaying messages as plain text with all headers and html tags on screen - almost impossible to read. See the attached screen grab.
Is this a problem with how Notifylink is set up at my company? Other android phones and iPhones do not have this problem though.
Please help.
bumping up
anyone? any pointers? please?
You'll need to speak to your System/Email Admin. My corporate Exchange Server account displays html just fine.

[Q] LGOG: Problem signing in to "Email" app with Google Apps account

I have a Google Apps account through my school. Basically it's a [email protected] address that works as a google/gmail account.
I'm trying to set it up with IMAP in the default Email app. I'm following google's instructions, you can find them quoted below. So far no success. It works fine with my Nexus 7, so I guess this is a LGOG problem.The error I get is "wrong address or password"
I noticed a couple of differences between the N7 and LGOG setup screens.
LGOG: only 3 options for security type (Off, SSL, or TLS)
Nexus 7: 5 security type options (None, SSL/TLS, SSL/TLS(Accept all certificates), STARTTLS, STARTTLS(accept all certificates)
I used "SSL/TLS (Accept all certificates)" for my N7 and it worked great. Unfortunately LGOG doesn't have that option, so now I don't know what to do.
I can post screenshots if anyone wants to see them.
There was a similar problem with Exchange accounts in this thread.

Does the difference in the Email app settings come from LGOG vs Nexus 7? Or is it 4.04 vs 4.2?

[Q] POP 3 reconfiguration - HELP needed

Hi,
I am having problems with the ISP I use for my webmail so I have decided to run my family mail domain on my local mailserver on my Mac Mini as the family mail system.
I can sort out this easily enough and am ready to switch at any moment but...
I have an HTC One Mini (UK Vodafone stock roms). It is running:
Android 4.3
HTC Sense 5.5
Software number 2.12.161.2
HTC SDK API level 5.65
Kernel Version 3.4.10-g5208099
[email protected] #1
SMP PREEMPT
Build Number 2.12.161.2 CL282558 Release-keys
Browser version webkit/534.30
NON-Rooted
I have downloaded all my webmail from the ISP via POP3 into my One Mini using the standard mail app (it is no longer on the isp mail server). When I attempt to change the inbound and outbound mail settings on my HTC One Mini I get a message stating:
Warning Changing the Server will delete the current account
The user mail address will be the same but I would be pointing to a new server with new logon credentials.
I need to preserve my mail messages (sender addresses) as I change the in/out pop servers so that when i change the POP3 account details I can maintain my mail data.
Can anyone explain what I need to do to enable the change safely. I cannot afford to lose these mails nor can I stay with the ISP forever?
Does someone have an export tool?
I can find nothing on the web on this subject so I am turning to this community because there are some wizards out there...
I need to change the inbound, outbound, user name and pw details for the account settings. Is there some way I can poke these values into the internals of the application? Can anyone offer me a script to help to do this? Would this bypass the account content deletion?
All help appreciated,
Many thanks
