Email note-how to change "from" email address (not evernote email address)

[allismack 1]

I want to change the "from" email address when I email a note to other people from within Evernote. How can I do that?

Hi - welcome to the Forums.

You can't change the visible email address that easily, or from within Evernote; your main option is to send the note initially to yourself, then Forward it (with suitable editing) from your main email client.

Hi gazumped

I have the same question as allismack. Your answer suggests that this might be possible, just not "that easily" ... ideally I'd like to be able to choose which email account I use to send the note from each time I send a note, but if that's not possible I'd just like to change to a different default email address. Is it worth contacting support?

Thanks for any help,

Richard

You CAN change your assigned email address. But you can't do it yourself. You need to contact support for it and they will do it for you. And you need to be a premium user.

To update and clarify. There's 2 email addresses ... I think Wern and I were not talking about the same email address.

1. The inbound email address ... you send email to this address and it becomes a new note in Evernote ... I didn't want to change this address, but I suspect this is what Wern was suggesting I could change if I contacted support
   
2. The outbound email address ... in the Mac client I can send "Share" a note via email ... I wanted to change the outbound email address for these emails. And from playing around in the web version - https://www.evernote...Settings.action - I was able to change this email address in the Personal Settings tab. Didn't need to contact support.
   

So, problem solved. Appreciate your help Wern. Hope this clarification helps someone else sometime!

The suggestion to change the email address in the online version worked perfectly. Thank you!!

You're still limited to a single 'from' address though. Makes it very hard for me to use Evernote both for work and personal use.

Would like to add a second part to this thread related to the "from" address. Looks like questions above were resolved...

Evernote spoofs your address when sending email. I would like to know the address evernote actually uses so that I can use a service like myfax.com to send an evernote note as a fax. This is done by sending a properly addressed email from an "email address" that is entered on the myfax.com service website. Since the email from evernote does not really come from your email address (it spoofs it) the fax service will not recognize the send... anyone else experience this, have a workaround, or know the actual sent from address...? I have tried some of the items listed in the email header but imagine that they are not persistent as they have not worked.... such as tomcat@ns090a.ba1.enops.net - which really gets sent as something like

Message-ID: <1644211640.5271358614315095.JavaMail.tomcat@ns090a.ba1.enops.net>

thanks

Kind of a specialised requirement - might be a good idea to identify which fax service you intend to use and talk to their tech support. You seem to have sent yourself a copy note as I just did, so you will have seen that the email address that comes up is your account name, tagged to your account address. (In my case my account email address has a different version of my name attached to it). If you sent a copy to the fax app tech support they could work out what details you need to authenticate.

The email header has what I believe is technically known as a 'bunch' of hieroglyphics including (in this recent case) stuff which ID's Evernote as a "permitted sender". How and whether that's significant I have no idea. If you know any freelance developers they might be able to build an app that adds a fax option to note sharing via the Evernote API. With the decline in fax communications I doubt it would be popular though - I haven't had anyone ask for my fax line in 10 years or more.

I would love to see this future too. I understand that we can add a free account to our premium account and send it that way, but that seems like a real sloppy way of accomplishing this. I use evernote for at both home and at work and constantly send have to share notes to my work email so I can then fwd on to a colleague - would much rather send direct from evernote, but I don't want it be from my personal email address.

This doesn't seem like a specialized case I imagine lots of users would like the ability to add a couple from addresses to their account and then choose which one to share with when sharing a note.

I also would like the possibility to change the mail account from wich I send my evernotes, so I could use it for my job and my personal uses. This would be a great improvement for me.

I also want to be able to edit the From email address when emailing a note. Makes it difficult to use Evernote for personal and work stuff. This is my biggest problem with EN, otherwise, I love it!

I have this same issue: I want to be able to change the default email address that generate emails within Evernote.  My particular reason is that I want to migrate from my old email address to a new one.  Evernote is now the only reason I'm holding onto the old email address.

 

Every option attempt to change the email address takes me to "Security Settings".  When I type in the new address and password as prompted, I get the error message, "This email address is already in use" - meaning the new one.

 

Any solutions?

Hi.  Have you set up an Evernote account with that email address at any time?  If you used it elsewhere,  you can't use it here.  You'd need to find that account and remove the email address and then have another go at using it on this account.
