ICloud – Sending email from iCloud with a different Reply-to field

emailicloudsmtp

I want to use iCloud's email service (me.com) as the ultimate destination for my incoming mail, as well as the repository of all my Sent mail. And when people reply to my email, I want it to be sent to myname@pobox.com. (In other words, I want my pobox.com address to be my "official" address — the only one anyone sees in their contact lists or their emailer's auto-complete suggestion list: anything else merely promotes confusion!)

In order for my outgoing mail to be copied to my iCloud SENT folder, I need to send it via iCloud's SMTP server. But there does not appear to be a way to configure OSX Mail (or iOS Mail) to send mail via smtp.mail.me.com but include a Reply-to of myname@pobox.com.

  • Is there a way to send mail out through iCloud while specifying my
    own preferred Reply-to address?

  • Or, barring that, is there a workaround that will allow me to specify
    my preferred Reply-to address while keeping my SENT mail in
    iCloud?

Best Answer

I don't know if this works for iCloud account but it works for regular email accounts, try the following.

Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and then choose the iCloud mail account. If there is account information showing the Address as xxxx@me.com simply edit the field to be something like xxxx@me.com,myname@pobox.com

When you send an email tap on the Cc/Bcc,From: field, then click on the From: field. You should be presented with a listing of email address to choose.
