Sending email from a domain that I own (but no account for it on iPhone)

iOS 8.1.3, iPhone 6


I'd like to be able to send email from the iPhone's mail app using a FROM address of abc@mydomain.com. I own mydomain.com and abc has an email account there.


But I don't want to install an account for abc@mydomain.com on the phone (it's a POP account which would involve a lot of fetching, among other reasons).


Any way to accomplish this on the iPhone?


(FYI, GMail allows this, and provides a procedure for verifying that the user actually controls the email address.)


Thanks / Tom

Thanks, that works!


Well, not exactly. I had to fill in the outgoing server settings, but used a bad password. The iPhone reported that the account might not work properly, but it did light up DONE and I was able to save the config.


So now when I'm in an app that allows email, I can scroll through the available "FROM" settings and pick the one I need.


(I just hope this is not taking advantage of a bug in the setup dialog which Apple will close in a future release.)
