8525 Email Question

Hi all,

I'm considering changing from my iPhone to an HTC 8525, and I was wondering about the email capabilities. On my iphone I have two IMAP accounts set up, yet no matter what I do it will only email from one account. I can't have this because I can't be sending my work emails displaying my personal account and the iphone simply will not do it. I also have other reasons for wanting to bail from the iphone but thats neither here nor there. I would ask this at the AT&T store, but they look at me like I'm from another planet when I say I want to get rid of my iphone.

So my question is...on the 8525, can I actually pick and choose the account I want to use to send email and actually have it use and display that it is being sent by that account. Right now no matter what account I send from it displays weiler@gmail.com from both accounts instead of that and "weiler@work.com" my other IMAP account.

Thanks in advance!

PS, I had an 8125 before and loved it but I never used the email this way before.

Yes, you can set up multiple email accounts on the 8525. I have 4 email accounts set up on my 8525 currently. When sending emails, simply select the account you wish to use from Messaging, then click Menu > New.

Ok, I figured you could do that, but so does the iphone, but I need to make sure that when you send from email account 1, it displays as being sent from 1@email.com; account 2 as 2@email.com. My iphone sends email from all of my accounts from only one account and no matter what I change it doesn't help anything.

It can be done easily. Check your settings for each account in Mail > Menu > Tools > Options. If that doesn't work, delete all accounts & recreate them.

I've had bad experiences with HTC mail. Mail arrives, then self-deletes upon reboot. Deleted mail randomly reappears with no body. I thought the HTC/WM6 upgrade would patch this. It didn't.

Yes, when sending email from an account, it shows as being sent from that account. You simply have to select the correct account to compose a new email from. When replying to emails, simply select the reply option on the email.
