Hotmail Alias in mail app: Refuses to use the selected email address

Hello,

Before today I could send emails using my alias account from the iPad mail app, using my hotmail email addresses. However, from today, I select the email address I wish to use (As normal) but instead of sending it from the chosen email address, it instead sends it from my standard email address.

Thanks for your time.

Oh, and I have not changed any settings, at all.

iPad (3rd gen) Wi-Fi + Cellular, iOS 6.1.3

Hello hbm2679,

I have many aliases email address, but mainly use one. I don't not send emails using my main account email address.

The way I changed it to only use the one (Alias) account was, when logged in to my hotmail account, over on the right (Next to your name), there is a gear.
Click the gear, and click "More Mail Settings".
Next, under "Managing your account", click "your email accounts".
Scroll to the bottom, and look for 'Default "From" address, and select the account/email address you want to use.

This is the only work around, I can think of at the moment. I think Apple need add more support for alias accounts.

Hope this helps,

Have Fun,

Hello Matt_75,

Can you give me the setting details? I use aliases extensively and the iOS stock mail mail is reduced to just read the mail and later I sign in through the browser to send or reply mails using alias.

How did u set it up?

I have iPhone4 and I have iOS6.1.3

Thanks,

Ajay.
