I don’t know why Apple makes placing “reply to” email address so hard (and I thought it being much easier in earlier versions of the iOS) but it seems like Apple doesn’t genuinely desire you to placed this up. A distinctive email client will let you to setup a dissimilar email address as a “reply-to” email address from the existent email address/account, but this feature appears to be missing from the iPhone. I eventually was capable figure away how this can be done in a two part step. Note that this instruction involves Gmail as the email account I’m using (but I consider it can be done via other email systems).
Step 1: Setup your Gmail on your iPhone as “Other”

Here are the precise steps (must dawdle every step!):
/> 1. Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendar>Add Account
/> 2. Choose “Other”
/> 3. Choose “Add Mail Account”
/> 4. Fill in “Name” (it can be anything you want)
/> 5. Fill in “Address” (use your Gmail Email, for now)
/> 6. Fill in “Password” (matching Gmail password)
/> 7. Fill in “Description” (this is just a label for this email account for reference)
/> 8. Hit “Next” and allow system to validate
/> 9. In the next screen, iPhone will prompt you options to setup Incoming and Outgoing Mail Servers (both are required, even if it says optional, this is whats going to be referenced for later step)
/> 10. Add Incoming Mail Server (imap.gmail.com), Add User Name (same as step 5), Add Password
/> 11. Add Outgoing Mail Server (smtp.gmail.com), Add User Name (same as step 5), Add Password
/> 12. Hit “Next” and if everything checks away, Hit “Save”
/> 13. Hit Home button to move you away of the settings Men
/> 14. Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendar> and choose the account you just setup
/> 15. Select the Account again to edit the settings of said account, this is where you would change the “Address” field to a different “Reply To” or “Sent From” email address you desire
/> 16. Hit “Done” when you are done
Step 2: Enable Gmail to “Send Mail From Another Address”

Gmail offers a good step by step instruction here. In short, once you login to your account, go to the upper right hand control and go to “Mail Settings”. Go to the 3rd tab “Accounts and Import” and go to the 3rd section “Send mail as”. Gmail would walk you through a couple of more step to validate that you have the rights to the said email.
Once both stepped are fulfilled, you should be able to respond to the email account with a different reply to email address. It’s a few steps but this is the much needed missing options for the iPhone folks.
