Ok, I see. To answer your original question, only .me accounts will have .me features that iPhone and Mac users will come to enjoy. Your pop and imap accounts from other domains will remain just that. The only way to get .me like features from someplace other than a .me account is by using Microsoft Exchange on the domain in question. So yeah, in short, you can't buy a mobile me account and plug your work domain in place of .me. I hope this is what your are asking about. Sorry for getting off topic with the leopard mail / alias reply.

I can't help you with any iPhone questions as mine is still on order. I feel like I was the only one that had a job to go to on Friday. :p


CWilson,

I figured out how to do that.

What I need to do is to be able to send received mail from
my POP address of choice.

For example, my old account was: njronbo@greenwich.com

Since using MobileMe I had to turn off greenwich.com. In fact,
I can't even have that account active on my Leopard mail.app
as it will receive mail and disrupt MobileMe.

Since my email is still being sent to that greenwich.com address
I need to reply using that address on Leopard. That is what I am
trying to figure out how to do.
 
Actually I fixed the problem on the Leopard mail.app side.

I enabled my regular POP account through preferences.

In ADVANCED simply uncheck "include when automatically checking for mail"

You also need to go to COMPOSING -> SEND NEW MAIL FROM and
select your POP account.

Fixed! I can now receive MobileMe push mail but yet reply with
my default POP address on the Leopard end.
 
i don't know if any of the people asking about this still care...but
what one poster said was correct if you change the smtp server to gmail it will change the sending address to your default address in gmail(i'm not sure if this holds if your me.com address is in gmail)


More generally to get this to work nice i added dummy pop accounts to one of my domains with it set to discard all incomming mail, then add the account manually on the iphone setting it to pop/imap from that mailbox and with the from address and smtp server set to whatever account you actually want to use. Its not perfect in that when you use the mail app it will pop your empty mailbox so waste a bit of bandwidth/battery life, but give the mailbox is empty it shouldn't waste much.
