Jul 7, 2016 9:17 AM in response to schoodleby tim_135,★HelpfulHey there schoodle!
From your post, it looks like you have an email alias that you want as an option when sending/receiving message in the Mail app. With an iCloud email alias, that is something that can be done by tapping the Cc/Bcc line in any email you compose, as long as your iCloud mail is on.
See: Using your @icloud.com email address - Apple Support
Send email from your @icloud.com address
Open Mail and start a new email:
- If you only have an @icloud.com address and don't have any iCloud email aliases, it will appear in the Cc/Bcc, From field on your iOS device or the From field on your Mac and iCloud.com.
- If you have multiple email addresses, you might need to select your @icloud.com address:
- iOS: Tap Cc/Bcc, From, tap From, then choose your @icloud.com address.
- OS X: Choose your @icloud.com address from the From menu.
- iCloud.com: Click CC/Bcc From, then choose your @icloud.com address from the From menu.
Then complete your email and send it.
And then you can setup as the default iCloud account for sending as well:
Make an @icloud.com address your default sending and receiving address
To make your @icloud.com address the default for sending and receiving email from iCloud, follow the steps below for each of your devices.
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
- Go to Settings > iCloud. In iOS 7 or earlier, tap Settings > iCloud > Account.
- Tap Mail under Advanced.
- Under iCloud Account Information, tap your email address.
- Tap the @icloud.com email address that you want to use as the default for sending mail from iCloud Mail.
Cheers!

Jul 7, 2016 9:20 AM in response to tim_135by schoodle,Tim's instructions were very helpful, but only for my @icloud account. I have several aliases set up there and they show up on my iPhone as being available to use.
However, what if the aliases I want to use on my iPhone are pointing to a different email account that's not hosted on an Apple server (so not @iCloud, @me, or @mac)?
I have this other permanent email address hosted on GoDaddy which points to a server owned by a friend in the UK. My friend recently said the permanent email address he's hosting for me is getting a ton of spam, which he filters a great deal of so I never see it. Still, he recommended I set up some aliases for it too. So, now I have these:
shopping@..........com
forums@..........com
I also have 3 others. All 5 are set up on my Mac Mini and my MBA, but I can't figure out how to make them show up on my iPhone too. Is there a way?
