How To Change Order of Email Addresses in Address Book / groups / Mail?

Many records in my address book have multiple email addresses.
No big deal but I wonder if there is a way to tell Address Book / Mail which address to pick as the default.
For example I send a litttle news email one a week to a group of contacts. I want to send this email to people's personal -- not business -- email address. I've created a group in Address Book and type that group name in my Mail to line and the group pops up. But a few of the records pick the corporate address and I have to go in and change those addresses.
I just tried editing one record ... I deleted both "work" and "home" addresses from a record. Then reentered them "home" first, "work" second. But when I closed the edit Address Book listed them in the original order (maybe alpha).
Any ideas?
Thanks

Adobe Reader for iOS doesn't set the default email address when you email a PDF.
It's found in the Settings app:
Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Mail > Default Account

Settings > iTunes & App store.
Tap AppleID, sign out then sign back in.
The Apple ID is right everywhere else. I've synced the phone. I've reset it in Settings on the phone. I've changed it at Apple.
When you write, "I've changed it at Apple, this means you updated yoru old AppleID or you ceated a new AppleID?

How to change the incoming email font

Hi,

I have BB bold 9900. I was able to do it with my previous curve, but not with this one.
Thanks

Hi muttley and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums!
There is no option to change the incoming mail font. You can change the entire system font by going to Options>Display>Screen Display.
Thanks.

HT4897 how do i send an email to one of my group contacts

How do I send an email from one of my group contacts

You need to customize your toolbar in mail so you can see the your contact link. Previous versions had this as a default. I dont know why Apple did this, but its an easy fix, once you know where to look. Go to mail, then new message, then look at the top bar. Go to view, then customize toolbar. You'll want to drag the contact icon to the top of your message toolbar. Then you can click on the contacts and find the email address or group you want to send a message to.

How can i order more copies of a iPhoto book using only the order number

how can i order more copies of an iPhoto book I made
by using only the order number
as I deleted by mistake a copy of it on my iphoto

I know the horse is out of the barn but this tutorial might be of help for future books: iP12 - Archiving an iPhoto 9 (11) Book for Editing and/or Ordering at a Later Date.
If you're starting over from scratch with a book I suggest you create a new library just for that book. Put the photos you want in the book in an album in your current library and use the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager to copy that album into the book library.
This will keep the book library small for easy saving to CD or DVD or to an EHD. If you delete photos from your full library it won't affect the book library.

How can I change order of email accounts in Mail on Mountain Lion?

In Mail on Mountain Lion I have only two email accounts, but the wrong one has been set as default (because it was an account I had overlooked and added later). I cannot find how to change the order of the email accounts. One possibility is to delete the non-default account and re-add it, so that it becomes the most recent and thus (presumably) the default, but this would delete all the email messages in that account, which I cannot afford.
It's a great flaming pain to try to remember each email I write to select the second account option, and yet I can find no way to change email account order---not in Mail and not in System Preferences. Dragging them certainly does not work.
Can Apple have really missed this? Is there any solution?

Comfortable with terminal...know how to edit using TextEdit:
Open up a Terminal and use the following commands to change your Mail.app preferences file to an XML format – the default format is binary, and you can't edit this.
cd ~/Library/Preferences
plutil -convert xml1 com.apple.mail.plist
Then, open this file com.apple.mail.plist with a text editor of your choice, preferably one that highlights XML syntax, but you can also use TextEdit:
open -a "TextEdit" com.apple.mail.plist
Now, look for the key called MailAccounts. It's value is an array, with dict children. Here, you'll find all your mail accounts in the order they were created in.
You can now manually move these dict children around. Save the XML file and reopen Mail. Now, your Mail account order will be changed.
