Hey guys,
I have something weird going on. I have my main Gmail account set up on my phone with different send-as addresses. I also have a .edu address set-up as one of my send as addresses, but whenever I try to use it from my phone it always switches to main Gmail account address.
(I also have my account setup so that all the different send-as addresses also have their emails coming into my one account, but I don't think that matters)
The only way I found that my phone be able to send emails from my .edu address was by setting my .edu address as my default replying address via my computer, but I want to be able to select email addresses to send from and not have that (my .edu account) be my default replying-address. If anybody knows a workaround please let me know.
(I have a Galaxy Nexus with 4.2.1 JB and the Gmail app that comes with it as well)

is there a way to have multiple email accounts on the tp? i have one of my hotmail accounts logged in. but when i try to go to add a new account for another hotmail account i have i go trhough the process. instead of adding it like my first email it goes online and i cant view pictures and it sucks compared to my original. i have to switch live ids if i wanna setup a different account in order to add gthe other email.
Is there a a program i can dl in order to do this? can i have a gmail account and hotmail account together or are we limited to 1 email that is tied directly to our tp?
Are trying to check your email through the web browser??
You can have as many pop/imap accounts as you want... you need to be using the built in copy of outlook... add each account separately
Makes sure you have pop or imap enabled in gmail or hotmail by checking the settings when you login over the web to each of those respective sites...
(ie: for gmail go to settings -> 'forwarding and pop/imap' -> enable IMAP)
From the Touch Flo 3D email tab tap Menu -> Accounts -> Accounts... -> Setup E-Mail. Add the incoming and outgoing mail server addresses, your username and password for the account, how much email you want to sync and you should be all set
I ran into the same problem. Have not figured it out yet. Evidently the built in email software does not allow two accounts under the same domain name. Ex" george @ verizon.net, and louie at verizon .net.
I have been able to set up multiple accounts, just not multiple accounts under the same domain name.
Is this what you are trying to do?
Yeah, it seems they don't let you have 2 hotmail accounts. But I do have more than one gmail account on there.
Here's one possible work-around:
Log on to your hotmail account on the pc. Then enable sending & receiving emails from other accounts as well. I have added my other hotmail account to it, and now get emails for both.

I have 1 hotmail & 2 gmail accounts, directly accessible and showing up on TF3D.
No problem putting 2 gmail accounts on, just a problem with 2 hotmail accounts, since you have to set those up through Windows Live App.
Has anyone figured out how to have two accounts with the same Domain Name Yet?
I didnt have a problem setting up 3 email accounts from the same domain. It's a personal domain. I unchecked find server settings automatically, set each as internet email, then followed the prompts. No problem with all three.
So I'm trying to add a second exchange account to my phone using the stock e-mail app (CM7). My regular account is a normal [email protected] address, and I've had it on my phone since I got it.
My other new account is a shared email address. Basically it's setup as [email protected], but I still use my regular username/password to log into it. OWA and Outlook handle this without any problem, but I'm mystified as to how to handle it with the stock email app. I've tried plenty of combinations of Domain\username\[email protected] and similar ones, but no luck so far
Is this even possible? I'm trying to avoid plunking down $20 for Touchdown if at all possible.
Just a bump to see if anyone's been able to tackle this issue. I'm still stumped.
Hi
Recently got a galaxy tab 10.1, and has 3.1 installed - no upgrade available yet apparently.
Anyway, I'm not sure if I've missed something glaringly obvious, but I'm reasonably literate with stuff like this. I'm trying to get my email setup, and have tried a number of apps. Until ICS comes out, Ive decided to use the stock email app, the samsung one..
Anyway, I can add multiple accounts, so I've got gmail, hotmail etc. The only problem is gmail (IMAP?) has a change displayed name feature, whereas hotmail (on activesync?) doesn't... So if my email is [email protected], my equivalent gmail has a display name setting to change that to whatever I want, in this instance Mr Bob Smith. However, the hotmail doesn't, and when I send an email, it's from winterscoming, essentially just the first part of the email address.
I can't believe that this is a bug / intentional, but the setting isn't there under the hotmail account. I was hoping l could shed some light on this. No luck searching - Otherwise it's a great little device.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
So no-one's come across thiss then? Basically to stop the stock mail app using the first part of the email address as opposed to my name?
Could anyone confirm whether they have the option to change the display name when usinf exchange activesync, especially with hotmail?
Cheers guys - much appreciated
If I follow you... Try adding yourself "Mr. Bob Smith" as a contact with the winterscoming email addres associated with it.
That should make it display as the Name rather than the email address.
I have a hotmail account in the stock email, open the stock email, goto [email protected] inbox, tap menu, account manager
tap [email protected], edit the account settings with account name "Mr Bob Smith", your name "Bob", signature "Bob Smith Hotmail on Android Tab"
your sent emails should show
(from) Bob ([email protected])
To: [email protected]
content - your message
sent from Bob Smith Hotmail on Android Tab
or whatever your preferences
hi
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I can change the signature, but I cant change the your name section as its an exchange account. I can change the account name but this only changes the displayed name in the email app.
Tried adding myself as a contact too - no luck.
For now all my emails are from 'winterscoming'
Could this be the crappy 3.1 and touchwiz? Dont have this problem on gmail or another activesync account ive added after
Cheers
I've got the exact same problem too. I can't enter a name for my activesync accounts so it displays the first bit of my email address as the sender name. So damn frustrating, I've been using Enhanced Email instead but the lack of split screen view is really annoying on a tablet.
Has anyone got a solution?
I'd like to use my gmail account connected via exchange activesync. I set that up with various email apps and it works nicely.
The only problem is that I don't use my gmail address as my known email address. I have an alias that points to gmail. When I email people, I want that alias to show as the email and reply to addresses.
When I have everything set up via IMAP/SMTP, I'm able to do that with K9.
Unfortunately, when connected via the Activesync way and I send mail, it always shows my gmail address to the recipient.
Is there any way/app that would allow me to do what I want?
I do have my alias set up as a send mail as option in the gmail web interface.

Bump. I've tried a bunch of different apps. Looks to me that when you use activesync, Google hardcodes your Gmail address as the From address.
If anyone finds anything different, please share.
Back to Gmail's broken implementation of imap. Maybe one day they'll start to push read flags.
So it seems after I setup both my gmail accounts it keeps trying to use the wrong one when sharing images via inbox & gmail.
Does anyone know how to set the default send address?
Thanks
When you send any mail... I think it asks to choose e-mail address from which you want to send mail..
Ah that's new to me. It used to just default to the one I wanted to use and would just be text rather than a drop down. Thanks for the info.
