Adding a Default Reply-To Address

Hello all,
Is there any way to set a default reply-to address? I always want to send via .Mac but it won't let me set my redirection email address in the From. So I always want my reply-to to be an alternate address.
Thanks,
John

the method shown in the thread about adding a message
receipt
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=71

should also work for a default reply-to header (of
course, you would use "Reply-To:" instead of
"Display-Notification-To:" when running the command
in the Terminal).
I'd really like to have a Default Reply-To Address - have tried the suggestion above, but can't make it work.
I quit Mail, opened Terminal, copied in
defaults write com.apple.mail UserHeaders '{"Reply-To:"="[email protected]";}'
pressed return. Re-opened Mail, but no joy.
(I tried it with and without a colon after Reply-To.)
Is there a step I'm missing?
Thanks for any help.

How to set default Reply-To address

i'm using mac mail 3.6.
occasionally I get email bouncing back as undeliverable and the reply to address is not my email address.
is there a way to create a default Reply-To adress as in Entourage?

I don't know why this happened. this is some weirdness on the other end with the server that bounced your emails. but the emails did come back, right? do you have any evidence that when people reply to your emails regularly they are actually sent to wrong addresses? if not you should leave it alone. I don't believe there is anything wrong with your mail.
P.S.to test this further select any message in your sent folder and go to view menu->message->raw source. does it have any weird emails in it? because a reply will based on the address contained in the raw source of your message. if there is nothing strange there the problem is on the other end as I said.

TS3276 default reply email address

I am running OSX Lion. I am changing my email account and want to know if there is a way to set my MacMail so that ALL emails are replied to from the NEW account and not the account that they were sent to. I have changed my Preferences for "Send new messages from" to the new account but when an email comes to me from the old account and I select "Reply" MacMail wants to send the reply from the old account and I have to manually change the account to the new account. Is there some way to set the default REPLY TO account to the new account? Thanks.

Depending on the mail provider, some will change the from address to the server email address being sent through. I know GMail is like that. Try with one of the other addresses and change the smtp server to the new account's server and check the box to use only that server with that account.

Default Reply-To and Bcc in Mail (Moved)

This is a repost of a question I mistakenly posted on the Leopard thread.
I just finished transferring all my archived mail from several years from Netscape Mail 7.2 to OS X Mail 2.1. There are 2 features which I used in Netscape Mail that I am unable to duplicate in OS X Mail:
1. bcc a specific address other than myself
2. provide a reply-to address different than the ISP addressed used to send the mail
On the 10.5 thread, Pascal Bouvier provided an excellent suggestion, referencing the following site which had 2 potential solutions to this problem:
http://www.hawkwings.net/2007/01/28/adding-a-default-reply-to-address-in-mailapp /
The first suggestion involves an applescript created by Mail Team Developer Cricket which allows specification of a Bcc other than "myself" and a Reply-To address to every email by default. However, the link to this applescript - http://homepage.mac.com/cricket/Menu19.html - results in an error. Apparently, the page has been removed.
The second suggestion involves a post on macosxhints - http://www.macosxhints.com/comment.php?mode=view&cid=11055 - using Terminal commands to achieve the same objective. I carefully used the following Terminal command to specify the desired defaults addresses:
defaults write com.apple.mail UserHeaders '{"Reply-To" = "mydefaultreplytoaddress"; "Bcc" = "mydefaultbccaddress"; }'
and verified that they had been successfully entered using:
defaults read com.apple.mail UserHeaders
However, using these Terminal commands has had no effect on my outgoing mail Bcc and Reply-To addresses, even after restarting Mail, restarting OS X, etc.
Does anyone know where the Cricket script can now be found?
Alternatively, any suggestions as to why the Terminal commands are not working?
Thanks greatly for any ideas.
Bob

Hi, Robert.
One possible solution is stationery. When you save custom stationery, the visible headers and anything entered into them are saved with that stationery.
e.g. Set up a new email with the Bcc: and Reply-To: fields visible and enter the appropriate addresses into those fields, then select Save as Stationery from the File menu.
To send an email using this stationery, in the New Message window you need to click Show Stationery and then click on your custom stationery. You can drag your custom stationery into the Favorites category if you like.
Not a perfect solution, but quicker than entering Bcc: and Reply-To: addresses each time, and certainly more flexible than the sledgehammer UserHeaders approach.

Can I set a default Reply-From email address on my iPad/iPhone?

In Mail for the Mac, there is an option under the Compose settings to set a default Reply-From email address for all your emails, so that, regardless of which account any email came from, you will always reply by default from one specific address. Is there a way to set a default Reply-From address on the iPad/iPhone?

[EDIT: Sorry, mis-read question. Ignore me.]

Default 'reply to' for one given address

I use mail to manage several different addresses and servers. One work server specifically wants me NOT to use their outgoing server from outside their network. In fact you CAN'T use is somehow. No problem, mail lets me set the outgoing server for any account to gmail or mobileme or my home server. The problem is, when I send mail from that work account I ALWAYS want the reply to to be the work address. Right now, when I use the outside server, replied messages come to my home address. I would like to set a default 'reply to' address for just that one server so I don't have to type it every time. The rest of my addresses (like mobileme) I want to remain normal.
I'm sure this can be done, but I can't figure out how.

After more searching, I found this for anyone who is interested:

I did as instructed and copied the file from the installation CD, modified the file and it worked like a charm.

Can you set a default "Reply-To:" on a per account basis?

I have two accounts set up in Apple Mail. One is a work account, and the other is my personal iCloud account.
For my personal emails, I would prefer to have any replies directed to an "email-for-life" address. My college alumni association has a service, which is essentially an email forwarder. The beauty of this is that I am not tied to a particular ISP such as iCloud, mobileme, .mac, etc. If I change ISPs, I only have to update the infomation on the forwarding system rather that letting all my personal contacts know that my email address has changed. For them, my permanent email address is of the form "<firstname.lastname>@<college>.alumni.edu". As such, I cannot use that address as my "From" address, as mosts ISP requirethe From address for authentication. I suppose this helps prevent spoofing.
I have seen instructions for setting a Default "Reply-To:" address in Apple Mail by setting the UserHeaders in Mail prefs via a Terminal window:
To set: Enter the following in a terminal window:
defaults write com.apple.mail UserHeaders '{"Reply-To:"="[email protected]";}'
To review settings: Enter the following in a terminal window:
defaults read com.apple.mail UserHeaders
To clear settings: Enter the following in a terminal window:
defaults delete com.apple.mail UserHeaders
My problem is that this sets the default for all email accounts in Apple Mail. I only want to do this for my personal email account. I want emails sent from my work account to reply to the work email addresss.
Is there a setting on the defaults write ... command such that I can apply the UserHeaders to only one account?
Regards,
Tim

What you could do is first rename the record to be imported
IMPORT SOURCE_TBL AS PS_SOURCE_TBL_ORG;
Then write a insert/select script from PS_SOURCE_TBL_ORG to PS_SOURCE_TBL defaulting column EXCHANGE_RATE_OPTN
Insert into PS_SOURCE_TBL (COLUMN,COLUMN,COLUMN,COLUMN, EXCHANGE_RATE_OPTN)
select PS_SOURCE_TBL_ORG (COLUMN,COLUMN,COLUMN,COLUMN, 'defaultvalue');
And then drop table PS_SOURCE_TBL_ORG to clean up your database.

Gmail Reply-to address

Just wondering if anyone could help me out here. I have just discovered that messages sent on my iPhone from my Gmail account are sent as '[email protected]'. However, I have set Gmail up in its settings so that the default 'Reply-to' address AND 'Send mail as' address is '[email protected]'. I'm with 1and1 for web hosting, but don't have a 'mailbox' - just email forwarding. I don't mind paying a little a month, but I want to use Gmail as my mailbox and can't see a way around this.
Can anyone help, or point me in the direction of a thread which can?
Thanks!
(re-posted from the wrong discussion)

Yes, I have the same issue. I cannot get gmail on iOS4 to send using the correct "reply-to" email address specified in gmail settings, and there seem to be no settings in the iphone to do it either.
I also tried setting up gmail in the iphone as an "other" account type, but that resulted in VERY strange behavior.

How do I set a default From email address when I write or reply to an email

I have more than one email address. I am using Windows 7. When I write an email or reply to one, Thunderbird always seem to use the same address even if is not the address that the sender of an email used. There must some setting that made this address a default. I would like to change the default. I know I can manually select the address I want, but like to have a different one for the default than the one Thunderbird is selecting.

I understand that you want each of several email accounts to act independently, such that mail for account 1 is sent and received only on that account, then account 2 likewise, etc.
For each email account, left click on the account name and then select 'View settings for this account'.
On the 'Account Settings' page, look at the 'Reply-to-Address' (should be blank) and also select the 'Manage Identities' box, which shows the default name and email address. If the default is not for that account, you can add or edit the entries and set the default.
Back on the 'Account Settings' page, select 'Outgoing Server (SMTP)' and check the user name/account there. It should be for the same account.
For each account, the other accounts should not be mentioned in any of the places identified above.

We have a Distribution group called [email protected] and a user which belongs to this group called [email protected]
Is there a way to set the default from/reply to address for this general user to the email address of [email protected] ?
Thanks much for your time.

Wrong reply-to address sent from iPhone mail after moving to iCloud

I had this strange experience that shortly after moving to iCloud, one of my email accounts got mixed up with the reply to address.
I use both accounts:
- [email protected]
- [email protected]
When I reply to a message received in my xs4all account and send a reply (visually is in the mail the field From: [email protected]), the receiver will get a mail with reply address [email protected]
So I noticed that all replies were sent to my gmail account.
Has anyone else the same?

Try SETTINGS, ICLOUD, click ACCOUNT field and scroll down to MAIL. Click on MAIL field. Here you can click on EMAIL field and a new screen of choices for default account comes up. Choose your default account here. Go back a page and you see ALLOW SENDING FROM and a list of allowed addresses to pick. Choose all of the ones you'd like to be able to use. HOPE THAT HELPS YOU. Click DONE when you finish. Tami

Defaulting the email address in From field.

Hi ,
I am working on requirement to default the email address in from field and populate the eligible emails ID 's as drop down in from field based on some condition. So I need to overwrite the standard emails data that are already coming in from field.Please see the attachment for your reference.
I did below analysis.
Component:CRMCMP_CCS_EML
View:Email header
Method: DO_PREPRRE_OUTPUT.
I achieved populating the drop down values..by populating the values in typed_context->mail->gt_default_from_addresses.
But my requirement is to default one email based on some condition. So I populated the default value as first entry in the drop down list box so that it will automatically default.
It's working as expected if we have personalizing setting for Drop down list as 'Default'.Please see the attachment for your reference. But it's not working if we have settings like 'By Value' and 'By Key'.
Ex: If I have two emails in GT_DEFAULT_FROM_ADDRESS like .[email protected],CC(First entry Default)[email protected](Second entry). if I use the settings 'Default' it's default with [email protected] if i use other setting it's defaulting with [email protected]
Could any one has any idea how to handle this..and options that we have in this case.
Or is there any other field I can default for From Field. (This should work for New ,Reply and Reply all )
I appreciate your help on this.
Thanks,
SaraSAP.

Hi Sara,
I believe that selection is controlled by attribute typed_context->mail->GV_SELECTION_FROM.
So, when you populate the possible entries in typed_context->mail->gt_default_from_addresses, just try to fill your desired default value in mentioned attribute and check if that works.
Kind regards,
Garcia

Changing default outgoing email address

So, my AppleID is an @me.com address. I created when I was still in college and put my birth year into the ID out of frustration that [email protected] had already been taken; for the purpose of this we'll call it [email protected]
I've since recognized the value of having an email address that doesn't broadcast one's age and created a more generic alias in the account, we'll call it [email protected]
Previously, on both my iPhone and my iPad, I was able to select "[email protected]" as the default outgoing email address in Mail, a much easier way to always send from that address without having to manually select in the FROM drop down menu. Now, in iOS 5 with iCloud, that doesn't seem to be the case. It always wants to use my main AppleID, "[email protected]" The only way to change it is to manually select in the drop down menu every single time I send an email.
I've looked through every iCloud and Mail setting I can possibly think of. Suggestions? Thanks!

Under Settings, Mail,Contacts,Calendars, for each individual mail account, what are your SMTP settings?
When you tap on an account, then tap on the Account Name on the next screen, then tap on SMTP, you will see all the SMTP accounts you have set up. If you want an account to only use a particular SMTP server when sending from that account or replying to messages received in that account, then you need to set that desired SMTP account as the primary server, and turn all other SMTP servers OFF.

O365 Default Reply doesn't match ProxyAddresses

I created a new user on our local AD (SBS 2008) and set a proxy address to include "SMTP:[email protected]". When it synced to O365 (we have Microsoft Azure Active Directory Sync running on one of the servers), it set the default email as "[email protected]" instead. We have Okta set up as a SSO solution, but I'm not sure if that is interfering in this.
I can't change the default reply in the O365 admin GUI since it is a synced account, but the info is right in our local AD. What's my next step?
This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

In an unrelated observation, it appears you are creating new database tables to hold each document. I don't think this is a good idea. Your database tables should be created using the database's utility program and not programmatically. The database schema should hardly ever change once the project is complete.
As a design approach: One database table can hold your document names, versions, and date they were uploaded. Another table will hold the column names and data types. Another table can hold the data (type for all data = String). This way, you can join the three tables to retrieve a document. Your design will only consists of those three tables no matter how many unique documents you have. You probably should seek the advice of a DBA or experienced Java developer on exactly how structure those tables. My design is a rough layout.

Switch between multiple reply to addresses

Using Outlook 2010 and Exchange 2010.
Would like to be able to switch back and forth between two email address configured on exchange mailbox for reply to address. We have multiple divisions and person wants to be able to send form
user@externaldomaina1 sometimes and
user@externaldomain2 at other times. WOuld lik to use Outlook 2010 to do this.
Any suggestions?

Hi,
From your description, yo want to send emails from
user@externaldomaina1 or
user@externaldomain2 as per situations, right?
I suggest that you use receipient policies to modify email address domain name. You can refer to the following steps:
1. Open EMC and navigate to Organization Configuration->Hub Transport
2. Select accept domain, new a verified accept domain named externaldomain1
3. Select E-mail address policies, new a email
policy, set the condition as specified recipients, add email addresses, select externaldomain1 as domain name and Click OK
4. Navigate to Recipient policies->mailbox, open any mailbox to right click Property, check email address and verify that the default address
is externaldomain1
It is the same setting with externaldomain2.
Hope it helps.
Thanks
