Re: Sending mails through Windows Mail, receiving replies through

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Ok, I was up until 2am and cannot solve this! went through all the steps you
gave me, got into cox's and qwest's web site and followed their steps, which
were similar, and still the same problem. About the "From" line you tell me.
I don't have that feature. My Windows Mail has a "Create Mail" and when I get
that window, I only have a choice of "To:", "CC": and "Subject":. If I right
click on that area you told me, I don't get anything, nor I see any little
arrow anywhere.
Remember when you give me any instructions, I have Qwest. I tried to
establish another email account with Qwest with my company's email and it
wouldn't let me. I give up for now.

didn't turn it off, forgot, or whatever.

You will not be able to select a different From address while composing
a message if you have only one mail account set up.

Note: When posting here please do not keep your Caps Lock key on.
It makes reading text more difficult, and is contrary to posting
conventions.

OK, I JUST FIXED THE "SIGNING IN WINDOWS MAIL" I HAD TO PUT MY GMAIL
INFO.
BUT THE OTHER ISSUES REMAIN... PLS HELP ME OUT HERE... THANKS!

Did you try using your ISP's SMTP server for you outgoing mail instead
of
Gmail? Who is your ISP?

The From address is selected on the Windows Mail email compose window's
From
line (click the arrow at the the end, or right click anywhere on the
line).
If you are picking the company email address from that list you need to
verify what you have setup for that account at Windows Mail - Tools -
Accounts - General tab - User Information. What do you have there?
(The
Server tab should reflect either the Gmail or ISP SMTP server, whichever
you've had to use - that's okay - but you need the User Info on the
General
tab to reflect your company info.)

If you are selecting the company address in the From line and the User
Info
for that account is entered as your company, then you need to address
whoever you're using for your SMTP server (see Server tab on account
setup).
If it is Gmail, then maybe they can not support use of an "other"
address
and plug in the Gmail address (with the "On behalf" message). If it is
your
ISP maybe they can not support use of an "other" address. But you need
to
ask them, the issue is not within Windows Mail.

Alternatively, have you asked anyone at your company to share with you
how
they have theirs set up?

No, I'm looking at emails I sent myself to my Hotmail address. Also,
the
people in my company I send emails to, complain that I'm sending
emails
using
my gmail.com address, which I'm not since I'm composing and sending
those
mails via Windows Mail. Actually I NEVER use gmail.com mail for
anything!

So, when I receive "my own mail" I send myself from
xxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx to
my
mail at Hotmail it says MY NAME (xxxx@xxxxxxxxx) on behalf of MY NAME
(xxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) ----- And that's what my company AND a "sister"
company
y mail to, receives.
I don't understand this because apparently the clients I deal with
here
in
the US have responded to me directly to the xxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx and
not
gmail.com

ALSO: When I send emails to clients using xxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx, I also
get a
copy of that mail in my gmail inbox.
ANY clue here? has something to do with the .cl extension?

I did the same test as you, and my sent copy does not say anything
about "on behalf of".

I'm looking at a "sent mail" address line. When I send an email
from
my
business mail (Windows Mail) to any of my other email addresses,
that
is what
shows up.

"Gary VanderMolen (MVP)" wrote:

Where exactly are you looking when you see that unacceptable
"Xxxxxxx (xxxxxx@xxxxxxxxx) on behalf of Xxxxxxx
(xxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)"

I just set up my Gmail account with a custom 'From' address, and
when I
used it to send a message, the email as received in Windows Mail
did
not
show any evidence of being sent via Gmail. To be sure, when I
looked
at
the hidden headers (Ctrl+F3) there was a "Sender:" header that
did
reveal the Gmail account address. My understanding is that the
Microsoft
Outlook email program is one of very few that will take the
hidden
Sender
info and uses it to generate a visible "on behalf of"
disclosure.
So, did you use Outlook to view the received message? Obviously,
this
workaround is not perfect. You may want to investigate whether
your
ISP
will allow you to send email with any 'From' address. Some do,
and
they
are not likely to be sophisticated enough to add the hidden
Sender
header.

Just sent a reply... didn't show up..
Followed your instructions Gary but couldn't set up business
account, had to
use gmail. When sending email through my business mail i get
this
unacceptable message:
Xxxxxxx (xxxxxx@xxxxxxxxx) on behalf of Xxxxxxx
(rep_usa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)
ON BEHALF!! I don't want to read that!! it is not
professional. I
changed
the setting to reflect the rep_usa as default on gmail and
didn't
help
either. Any suggestions please???
Thanks! MAR

To make that happen you need to take a few additional steps.

1. Log in to your Gmail account via http://mail.gmail.com,
then
go here:
http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&ctx=mail&answer=22370

Follow the procedure explained there to allow your business
'From' address
to be used with Gmail. When completed:

2. Open your Windows Mail, go to Tools, Accounts, select that
mail
account, click Properties. On the General tab change the name
and/or
email address as desired to reflect your business.

Gary VanderMolen helped me with an issue on Nov 22-25. I
couldn't sent mail
but could receive through my Windows Mail account. Gary
said to
change my
outgoing mail SMTP, for a gmail account instead of the one
I
had (which is a
company email address).

The problem: I send mails through my company account/mail
and
the answers
land in my gmail inbox with my gmail address on it. I do
not
want that
because I'm dealing with clients and need to reflect a
business
address. I
need to have the same outgoing and incoming address.
Please help me here to correct this.
Thank you!
MAR
Angelica.
