Proper use of ため to thank someone for doing x？


I know ため can be translated into English as "for" such-and-such.

But is it appropriate to use it to thank some one for doing something?

For example, "Thank you for your email address." Would it be grammatically
accurate to say: メールアドレスためありがとうございます。

Google translate seems to understand the sentence perfectly fine. But would a
native speaker scratch their head at that use of ため in this manner?




Using ため as the 'for' in 'thank you for' is strange.

Off the top of my head I can think of 4 ways we normally use ありがとう to say
thanks for something.

>   1. masu-stem of the verb + ありがとう (this one's particularly formal)  
>  メールアドレスを教えていただき有難う御座います。  
>  Thank you for telling me your email address.
>
>   2. te-form of the verb + ありがとう  
>  メールアドレスを教えてくれてありがとう。  
>  Thanks for telling me your email address.
>
>   3. noun + ありがとう  
>  メアドありがとう！  
>  Thanks for your email address!
>
>   4. [noun + を + ありがとう](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/5496/78)  
>  メッセージをありがとう  
>  Thanks for your message
>

There's lots of other expressions which don't use ありがとう like:  

> ～についてお礼を申し上げます  
>  ～に対し感謝します

ため is 'for' as in for the benefit or purpose of someone/something.  

> `私のために`こんなすてきなパーティーを開いてくれてありがとう。  
>  Thank you for throwing such a splendid party `for me`.
