Send as your alias from iPhone Mail

Add your alias to Mail on an iPhone or iPad so it reads your inbox as before and sends as your alias through Mailyoto.

Pro or Max plan Updated 31 October 2026

When you finish, Mail on your iPhone shows the inbox your alias forwards to and sends as your alias, such as amina@lunavera.com.

You add the alias as its own account. Its incoming server is your inbox provider’s, and its outgoing server is Mailyoto’s. The same steps work on an iPad.

Note

Only need to respond to people who emailed your alias? Reply from your alias works in any phone app, with nothing to set up.

Before you start

  • A credential on your domain and its password (create one).
  • Your inbox provider’s IMAP server name and your sign-in details for it. For Gmail, the server is imap.gmail.com, and Google asks for an app password here, not your Google password.

  1. Add your alias as a new account#

    Open Settings → Apps → Mail → Mail Accounts → Add Account. Tap Add Other Account, then Add Mail Account.

    The iPhone Add Account list of providers, with Add Other Account outlined at the bottom.

    Type the name, Email, password and Description from the settings, then tap Next.

    The iPhone New Account form with Name Amina, Email amina@lunavera.com, a password and Description Lunavera.

  2. Enter the servers#

    Keep IMAP selected and fill in both servers from the settings. Tap Next, then Save.

    The iPhone server form: incoming host imap.gmail.com with username amina.kone@gmail.com, and outgoing host smtp.mailyoto.com with username amina@lunavera.com.

  3. Check the outgoing server#

    In Mail Accounts, tap the new account, then SMTP, then smtp.mailyoto.com. Make sure Use SSL, Authentication and Server Port match the settings, then tap Done.

    The iPhone outgoing server screen for smtp.mailyoto.com: Host Name smtp.mailyoto.com, Username amina@lunavera.com, Use SSL on, Authentication Password and Server Port 587.

    On port 587, Mail turns on encryption with STARTTLS.

Check that it worked#

Write a message from your alias to someone at another provider, such as diego@harborpine.net. The recipient sees your alias as the sender. The message appears in your domain’s Usage and logs tab when you choose Sent under Type.

Mail can't verify the account

Check the incoming settings first: your inbox provider’s server, username and password. For Gmail, use an app password from your Google Account, which needs 2-Step Verification.

Messages stay in the Outbox

Open the outgoing server again. The username must be your full alias, the password your credential’s password, and the port 587 with Use SSL on.

Your alias is missing from the From field

You added the alias to an account created with the Google, iCloud or Outlook.com button. Those accounts can’t change their outgoing server. Add the alias as its own account, as in the steps above.
