Modifying email address in Mail

Hello,
I have an new alumni email address, but it is only used through a forwarding address that I already have set up in my Mail program. I want the alumni address to be seen as a return address when I send emails using the email address that the alumni emails are forwarded to. Of course, on the college alumni website, it gives directions to do this on every email program except Mail. The directions are the following on their website, but I am still confused how to do it.
"If your email client is not mentioned above but allows you to change your settings:
With permanent email, you continue to send and receive your mail exactly as you did before using the email program of your choice. To optimize your permanent email address, change your return address to your permanent email address. (Please do not change your POP or SMTP account information, as you will continue to retrieve and send your mail exactly as you did before.)
Most popular email programs have a setup area so you can easily make these modifications.
SMTP Server
(Outbound Mail):
POP Server
(Incoming Mail):
This information does not need to be changed. If not already entered you should obtain POP and SMTP Server information from your Internet Service Provider (ISP) or your network administrator."

  • How do you set-up a hotmail email address in mail

    how do you set-up a hotmail email address in mail?
    I cant seem to add it. any ideas why it cant connect to the server? what server address should i be using?
    regards
    Brendon

    Hi bmuur,
    I also had the same problem.
    I clicked Microsoft Exchange and kept trying to add my hotmail account that way but it kept asking for a server address for it to work.
    If you go into Internet Accounts and instead of clicking Microsoft Exchange scroll down to the bottom of the list and click Add Other Account...
    It will ask what sort of account you want to be created and I selected Add Mail Account and clicked create.
    Enter your full name, hotmail email address and password.
    I then clicked create and it worked for me.
    Hopefully this solves your problem. 

  • How to delete an email address in Mail

    A friend of mine has just changed his email address but I cannot remove his old one from Mail. I have added his new address and removed the old one from my Address book but his old address still comes up as the default when starting a new email to him.
    Any ideas would be appreciated...Cheers...

    Biggest apologies thought I was writing about iOS!?
    Am I also wrong about that too in iOS?

    It appears because your mail app remembers a history of addresses.
    It cannot be deleted but I think it will disappear after a certain time.

  • Deleting remembered email address in Mail

    Hi
    I have many email addresses that Mail has remembered that I no longer need, or want.

  • Export email addresses from Mail?

    Is there any way to export email addresses from Mail into a CSV file? I know I can push it to Address Book then export but that mixes all the exports in with my existing addresses.

    If you know SQL, you could export out of the previous recipients database file inside your user/Library/Application Support/AddressBook folder. It's a sqlite3 database.

  • Cut and Paste email addresses in Mail

    I have been frustrated when copying and pasting email address in Mail.
    When I copy an email address that is also in my Address Book from the "FROM" field and paste it somewhere else, the NAME of the contact always appears along with the email address in "" brackets.
    Is there some kind of setting I can change to ONLY get the email address and not the contact name and those dumb little brackets?

  • How do i erase a bad email address from mail?

    Hello,
    I once miss typed an email address in mail and it haunts me everyday. If I type the first three letters of the persons name, which is my habit, the bad address is attached to the mail. The result is that I get a server error when i try to send the mail. Then I have to save it as a draft in order to change the address to the correct one by typing fewer of more letters of the recipients first name. I would save myself allot of frustration if I knew where mail stores address shortcuts.
    Thanks very much

    Start by making a new message. Now type in the start of the mistake. When you see the mistake allow it to be put in the To: line. It should appear as a normal address with the little blue button around it. Now right click on the address and pick the choice *Remove From Previous Recipients List*. This should clear that mistake out. I just tried it and it worked for me.

  • Adding Email Addresses from Mail to Address Book

    I send out a lot of emails that I would like to save in my address book. Address Book automatically sorts the address by first name or last name. This makes it virtually impossible to locate daily or hourly all the emails that you saved to your Address Book. Especially when your Address Book has over 3,000 addresses. Is there anyway to save email addresses using Mail directly to a Group in the Address Book?
    Thank you.

    Welcome to the discussions, Big.
    If you select an address in an email message you can drag it and drop it onto a group in Address Book, making a new contact and adding it to the group in a single operation. You can't do this from Mail's Previous Recipients window, though you can use the PR window, ordered by date, to see who you sent email to three days ago - but not hourly.

  • Extract email addresses from Mail?

    A friend uses Mail on OS X 10.2 (Jaguar). He doesn't use Address Book. Instead, when he starts to type an address in Mail, Mail offers to complete it, often with several choices. His archive contains thousands of email addresses. My question: Is there a way to transfer the email addresses in Mail to Address Book without having to do each one manually?
    Mail comes up with choices of email address so quickly that it is hard to believe it scans the whole archive to find them. Does it have a database of some sort that it refers to? And can this database (if one exists) be read as a plain text file?
    Thanks!

  • How can I change the return email address in Mail?

    Hi
    Having just switched to a Mac and just got broadband I was quite pleased with myself managing to download an email into Mail....
    However, we use a forwarding email address at bigfoot.com so that we can always quote the same email address whatever our ISP given address. How can I make this the default return email address on emails I send, rather than the [email protected] that we have been assigned?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Stuart.
    Open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal, type the following command (you can just copy it here, paste in a text editor, modify the email address, then copy the whole command again, and paste in Terminal), and press <Return>:
    defaults write com.apple.mail UserHeaders '{"Reply-To" = "[email protected]";}'
    The following article contains a more thorough description of this technique that takes into consideration the possibility that you might inadvertently overwrite other default headers by doing that:

  • In Thunderbird, I cannot send email. I am asked to enter an email address in Mail and Newsgroup Account settings but when I click on this option, nothing opens.

    I can connect to Thunderbird and receive email. However, I cannot send emails. When I press send (either from replying to an email or entering an email address manually) I get the following error message:
    Sending of message failed.
    No sender specified. Please fill in your email address in the Mail & Newsgroup Account settings.
    When I click on the menu option within the email message Tools/Mail & Newsgroup, the message minimises and the programme returns me to my inbox. There is no Mail & Newsgroup setting on the mail programme.

  • Can I have multiple incoming servers for one email address on mail?

    I am currently trying to connect my school email address to my Mail app on my Mac.
    Unfortunately, it seems that when connected to the school network, I can't access the Microsoft Exchange Web sever, whether through any web browser or Apple Mail, but I can at home.
    I have found the mail servers from the Outlook settings at school, so if I change the settings from the Exchange Web server (mail.xxx.co.uk) to the networked mail server (xxx-exchange.domain.local), I can access the emails through the school network, but when I come home, I then have to change the servers back, and then Mail tries synchronising and I seem to lose emails off my Mac, but they are still on the server.
    Is there any way of setting up the account on Mail so I can access the emails from either server address, depending on my location, without having to do it manually?
    Thanks in advance

    you can but there is no need to do it. click on the little triangle next to your inbox. it will expand and show the inboxes for each of your accounts.
    If so, can someone tell me how to set it up?

  • HT1694 how do I remove an email address from Mail that is not in my contacts list?

    I have and E-mail address that comes up when I start typing an address into Mail when I create a new E-mail and this particular E-mails address is not associated with any of my Contacts.
    How can I remove this E-mail address so it no longer appears?

    thank you
    Dave

    You're welcome.
    If that email address is your Apple ID, I don't believe you can delete it.
    If you have your cell phone number selected as your Caller ID, when sending an iMessage it will be sent from your phone number.
    Since your Apple ID email address is registered as well, if someone has your email address in their contacts, they can select your email address to send you an iMessage in addition to your phone number.
    When this recipient says you are sometimes sending an iMessage via email, it is received as an email with the Mail app on their iPhone, not with the Messages app?

  • How do I add an email address for mail?

    I want to have different email addresses for different members of my family.  Can I and how do i do it?

    There are various e-mail services providers like Yahoo, Gmail, Aol, Outlook etc. You can go to their website and create an e-mail account for each of your family member (I recommend Gmail by Google). Once you have created all the accounts, you can add them to the mail app on the mac very easily. So, go and create e-mail accounts for your family members and then in the Mail app click Mail -> Add Account, select your e-mail service provider and follow the instructions on the screen.
