Apple Mail 7.3 - How to change my profile picture?

Hi!
I checked the old available posts, but none of them really solved my question, so here I go again with my question regarding the small picture shown on outgoing mails in Apple's Mail 7.3.
Currently it shows a default 'green lightning' picture on my outgoing mails in the upper right corner.
I did: System Preferences > Users & Groups, and selected Current User (Admin/myself), and dragged and dropped a new personal picture into the picture box showing the old 'green lightning' default picture which was then substituted by the new pic of my choice. All done.
However, Mail 7.3 after numerous restarts and 48 h later now, STILL shows on outgoing mails the old 'green lightning' pic which I had substituted before via Sytem Preferences > Users & Groups.
Can anybody help?
Thanks!!

Hey MN072012,
Thanks for the question. The picture is actually pulled from your card in Contacts. If you open up Contacts and find the card that is associated with your email address, I suspect you will see that the “lightning” picture is still linked to that card. Try changing it there and sending a test email to yourself.

Add or change the contact pictures that appear in contact cards and in other apps that use contact information, such as Mail and Messages. Your contacts don’t see the pictures; only you do.
Thanks,

    I'd like to know how to change my profile picture that appears on mail threads on my mac.  please help.

    There may be other methods, but below is how I change my email photo.
    Here is how to change your Mac Mail email photo in Mountain Lion:
    Open the App called "Contacts". Type your name in the search field. Your contact info and photo should appear. Click on your photo. You now have some photo options. I use the "Recents" tab, and simply drag photo files from Finder into that window in Contacts. Drag and drop.
    If you have trouble finding yourself in "Contacts" you can also get there by doing this:
    Open one of your sent messages. Double click your photo in that message. This opens another window with your photo in it. Double-click that photo. This should open your contact information in the Contacts App.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to change guest profile picture on Macbook Air?

    There are two accounts on my MacBook air: My one, and a guest one. I understand that you can set a profile picture to come up on the log in screen for my account, and I would like to do the same for the guest account. How can I do this?
    Thanks

    The guest user icon is a PNG file stored deep within OS X. I don't recommend you change operating system components that exist at that level though. Besides, the change is not likely to survive an OS X update.
    If you really want to change it I'll post its location, but you'll be on your own if something breaks.
    Edit: You'd be facing the same problem as in your other question: How to change folder symbol on desktop back to original? Modifying the Mac's basic user interface fundamentals can result in instability. If you want to perform that sort of customization anyway, always have a backup strategy in case something goes wrong.

  • Why is my Apple Mail's initial screen sometimes changed to half it's regular size?size

    why is my Apple Mail's initial screen sometimes changed to half it's regular size? I'm using an iMac PowerPC G4 with OS/X 10.5.8 and Mail 3.6 (936).

    It could be remembering where it was when you last quit the program.    The Green button in the upper left forces the window to the last adjusted size.

  • How do you stop Activesync users changing their profile picture?

    We are in the process of migrating from Exchange 2007 to 2013. In 2007 nobody had the ability to change their profile picture (seen in Outlook and in our online phonebook). However, it would appear that users already migrated to 2013 who have a iOS
    device connected via ActiveSync can now use the OWA for iPhone mail client on their mobile to change their profile picture.
    We do not want users to have this ability, we have already seen some inappropriate images appear and need to stop this. How can I restrict it?

    In your case, you may need to run a full anti-virus scan to remove any elements that the hacker may have used in accessing your account, and immediately change your password.  I'm not sure if Skype can provide you with the information you wanted, but you may also need to contact them as well as they may have additional instructions or advice;

  • How can I change my profile picture to a photo from iPhoto?

    I want to change my profile picture on my Macbook Pro, but the only pictures that are letting me choose from, are the default pictures, I can't even see my photos from iPhoto as an option. Please help!

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    In OS X Lion and Mountain Lion, the option to change the profile picture changed, making difficult the process to select a iPhoto library photo as the account picture.
    First, open System Preferences > Users & Groups, and press the user picture. Then, open iPhoto and drag the photo you want to use as your account picture to the box with the user picture in System Preferences. Now, set up the photo as you want and accept it, so you will be using this photo as your account picture

    How do i change the "profile" picture on m iPad when I'm using iMessenger for IOS5?

    You do realize that only you see the photo associated with this correct - nobody else will see your photo - only you will.
    You have to add the photo in the contacts app. Locate your vcard and tap Edit. Then tap the area where the photo will be located to add a photo. You can take a photo or choose one from your photos app.

  • How to change INSTANCE profile parameter?

    HI,
    How to change INSTANCE PROFILE PARAMETER for permanent???
    any step by step or note?
    Thanks,

    Alf,
    Its is recommended to do parameter changes through RZ10. Check the parameter in RZ11 and if you see a check mark against DynamicallySwitchable, you dont have to reboot else it requires a reboot. All the changes you made through RZ10 is permanent. You can do it through OS level but its not a good practice. If you do it through RZ10 it is logged.
    Thanks

  • How can I change my profile picture

    Dear All, The Modern Skype with touch-screen features looks completely different from the old Skype that we used with Win 7 and earlier versions. For example, in the old Skype, we could go to the Skype button and easily scroll to "Change your profile picture". In the new Skype, there is no functionality to do this. (That is, as far as I know). If you click on "My account", it takes you to the Skype website. In that, you can go to "My Profile", and then "Edit", but the edit does not have any button next to your picture to enable you to change it. In short, I don't know what to do. Please help. Thank you so much in advance for your attention. Dr. Taher

    I hope everyone will forgive my ignorance, because it seems everyone but me can get this done.  Upon viewing the instructions, I do not appear to have the same structure to my home page as others do.  When I click on "my profile", I do see an "edit" button, but I can edit everything except my profile picture.  I'm on a PC using the latest version of windows.  Any help is most gratefully received.  You are not alone.  When I log on there is no picture in the top right corner.  There is one on the left margin so I clicked on the and it took me to the Personal Information page.  There is not any options to change the picture.  To make matters worse; Skype have not updated their knowledgebase help page and are still showing the old drop down menus (Which were much better than what we have now).  Why does a company like Skype roll out completely different user interfaces and leave their hlp pages with out of date information.  Infuriation to the maximum.
