    Hi can anyone with experience of solving this issue please help?

    I have asked Yahoo themselves for help but they have been unable to advise. Likewise with the support team from my BlackBerry service provider.

    So I turn to the CrackBerry community....

    BACKGROUND

    I have a Bold on the T-Mobile UK network.

    I use Yahoo as my main email provider.

    I have two main email addresses, one is 'native' Yahoo e.g. [email protected]

    The other is a Yahoo Personal Mail address, i.e. a 'custom' email using my own domain e.g. [email protected] this is provided by Yahoo

    My 'custom' and 'native' email addresses are INTEGRATED into a single Yahoo inbox. That is, when I log in to Yahoo Mail on the web, all my mail sits in one inbox regardless of whether it was sent to my 'custom' or 'native' Yahoo-provided email account.

    And I have dozens of Disposable Addresses setup in Yahoo (for spam protection, which works perfectly).

    In the BIS I have the following Filters setup:

    'native' Yahoo email = When no filters apply: forward to device
    'custom' email = When no filters apply: do NOT forward to device

    I have found that this filters setup is required because without it, any mails sent to my 'custom' email are received twice: once to the the 'custom' account and then a duplicate, to the 'native' account. This is because with the Yahoo Personal Mail address setup, you must have a 'native' Yahoo account which serves as the ultimate destination for your 'custom' addressed email.

    Finally, this mail setup works flawlessly from the Yahoo Mail web site. The problem I will set out now is only experience when using my email addresses from my BlackBerry Bold.

    THE PROBLEM

    OK, so here's the issue. It's driving me up the wall!

    Say I send a mail to my 'custom' account, say from my work email.

    When I receive it on my Berry, and check the 'Received Using' field, it shows the 'native' email address.

    So, if I just use the 'Reply' function on the Berry, it defaults the 'Send Using' field to my 'native' Yahoo email.

    I double checked my BIS setup and I do have the 'Reply To' fields set for each email account, to the same email address as the account.

    If I go for the inverse setup (i.e. to 'not forward to device' the 'native' emails), then I am exposing my 'custom' email address to all and sundry.

    Does anyone know a solution?

    PS Please don't tell me to install a Yahoo mail application on the Berry, I also have Gmail accounts and couple of other private domain email accounts and I only want all emails handled 'in one place' by the native BlackBerry email application.

    A solution would be massively appreciated!

    Many thanks guys and Happy New Year
