Automatic Assign account to send mail from?

I have several accounts and would like to know if there is some way to send mail to certian individules from a specific account automatically?
So If I create a "new" email addressed to John Smith MacMail will automatically choose to send that email using a predetermined email account, without having to choose it from the drop down menu?
Is that possible?
Thank you.

I you select the inbox of the account you want to send from then create a new message it will send from that account.
If you are hitting Reply then it will send from the account that particular email is in.
There is a popup window right under Subject on the new or reply email that makes for quick and easy switching.

But there is a (high) possibility that Gmail's server requires authentication (or certification) to connect to it.
I wonder if they're simply silently dropping emails in certain cases. I forgot earlier that I have a Gmail account. If I send an email from the command line on my home computer, which is on Comcast, the mail log shows that I successfully connect to Gmail, the message is sent and accepted by Gmail, but the email never arrives in my inbox. I've tried several times with the same result.
However, emails from a web server from work get through to Gmail without a problem. So I'd bet it's a case of them not delivering mail from Comcast IP addresses.
For grins, I also tried sending to my Yahoo email account from my home computer and their server at least refuses the connection and I get an error message stating that it's because it's a residential IP address.
In this case you need an SMTP client (=a software which directly sends the mail to the Gmail server) which supports authentication.
I think this might also be possible with Postfix by editing the configuration files. I know I had to set up authentication to send emails to my work address directly from my home computers, but I haven't been able to get the same thing to work with Gmail yet. If I get a chance, I'll look into it again later tonight.

Cannot send mail from any mail account

I have a Mac Mini, late 2014 model, running OS X Yosemite version 10.10.2. I have constant difficulty sending mail from any of my mail accounts; these are iCloud, Googlemail, Yahoo and a personal one which uses 123-reg.co.uk. I am currently located in Greece, but have been having trouble for ages, even in the UK. I can receive mail, but I don't seem able to send it. Error message is usually simply cannot send mail using this server, select a different server. However, when connection doctor is run, all servers appear to be connected and I am logged in. Any ideas please?

Hi, not sure why that is relevant, but we arrived at the end of January this year. Here is a screen shot of a recurring problem, although in this case Gmail is not connected to the internet, which it usually is. Hope this helps.
Your outgoing Gmail servers not working, everything else seems OK.
So, what is not working for you (other than Gmail Sending)

Unable to send Mail from POP account

I have an Iphone 4 and have upgraded the IOS from 5-1 to 6.1.3. Since then I have been receiving all my mails but i have been unable to send mails from my POP account. the notification "Cannot Send Mail. A copy has been placed in your Outbox. The receipient, "xxyyzz @ gmail . com " was rejected by the server" displayed. Please Help. the same thing happens when I configure my POP account on my Son's Iphone4, and there is no problem in receiving and sending mails from my Outlook. Please Help!!!!!
Can i revert back to IOS5.1.1?????

Contact your email provider and get the correct settings to use for the outgoing mail server (SMTP) on a mobile device. If it's email provided by your ISP, they have likely blocked email from outside their network from relaying to prevent spam.

Cannot send mail from .mac account in Entourage

I am a new mac user so my troubleshooting skills are very weak. Until about one week ago, i was able to send mail from both my hotmail account and my .mac account. Now, i get this error (just on my .mac account):
An operation on the server timed out. The server may be down, overloaded, or there may be too much net traffic.
i read through much of the support articles, but did not find my specific error. can anyone help??
thank you

it may be that your server (internet provider) has just started blocking outgoing mails not authenticated by them.
Go to your account set up...
and fill in the following details.
SMTP SERVER: smtp.mac.com
then click on advanced sending otions...
click on override default SMTP port... type 587
click on SMTP servber requires authentication...
use same setting as receiving mail server.
try this...

"This message cannot be sent at this time." I have been getting this pop-up for 3 days when trying to send out mail. I don't know what to do! I cannot send mail from this account on any ISP. Please help!

lots of people seem to be havgin a problem sending email from iCloud webmail.
does your email address have uppercase characters in it?
if so, try creating an alias in lowercase (go to preferences in iCloud webmail and select 'accounts') and see if email sends okay from that

How do I specify the gmail outgoing server if I have multiple gmail accounts in my mail? I have 2 business accounts and when I send mail from one account, it is sent from the other account and the sending email is not from the correct account.

I love my apple email and do not want to use google mail on safari. However, I have 2 gmail accounts set up on apple mail, but when I send mail from one of my gmail accounts (I choose the specific gmail account in the drop down window), it actually goes out as if it is from the other gmail account. I can't have that happen because one is my job, the other is a personal business account and unfortunately, the mail from both gmail accounts want to send through the personal business account. How do I make it send from a specific gmail account? I even tried deleting the accounts and setting them up again hoping I set it up wrong in the first place, but to no avail, it is still doing the same thing except this time I set the job account up first and then the personal business account and now everything goes from the job account! The only good thing is that the incoming messages work properly and they go into the correct inbox. Somebody please fix my outbox!

In Mail Preferences/Accounts/each GMail account, set up the SMTP Outgoing Server for each account separately, going into SMTP name/edit/Advanced and specify the Username of each account. The Outgoing servers must be two different servers, authenticated by the Username and Password of each.
Otherwise, the GMail SMTP server will change the from address to that of the account where the SMTP server was setup.

Need to send mail from Microsoft Exchange 2007 account(different from Gmail) on behalf of another Gmail ID. How to configure that ?

I have a Gmail ID (e.g [email protected])
I have a Exchange ID (e.g [email protected])
I need to configure exchange account (2007) such that I can send a mail from my Exchange account but at the receiver end it looks like it was sent from ([email protected]).
Both the accounts are my accounts.
I need this because I do not have access to my Gmail account from place where I access the internet and I need to send the mails from my Gmail account only.

So you want to spoof your e-mail address.
You can make your Exchange server send as any address you want. Just create a different mailbox with that address as the primary (reply) address. It has to be a different account.
However, be aware that many systems to which you send such mail to will bounce it as suspected spam because they'll detect that your server is sending mail from Gmail but your server is not Gmail.

Hi Nuch1,
I found an article that is contains very thorough Mail troubleshooting steps:
OS X Mail: Troubleshooting sending and receiving email messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3276
You can use that article to figure out what part of the email "ecosystem" is the cause of the issue, and it can also help you attempt to resolve it.
Hope that helps,

Sending mail from non-BT accounts

I have email accounts with Apple (mobileMe), my own domain (hosted by Verio) and another of my own domains (hosted by Network Solutions) - as well as the BTinternet.com email account.
Until today, all four accounts were set up on my email client (Apple Mail) to use their own respective SMTP servers for outgoing mail, and all four have worked fine in this way for literally years.
This morning, I started getting error messages trying to send mail from the domain hosted by Verio ("cannot send message using the server [my own domain's SMTP server]").
In the end, I followed the steps outlined in a thread on this forum to "add" the account to BTYahoo, verify it, and change the email client settings to use BT's SMTP server. So now it works fine.
What I don't get is why I had to change this one account, when the other non-BT accounts (Apple and NS SMTP servers) continue to work fine as they are (ie using their own server details for outgoing mail).
Anyone know the answer? Obviously it works, so there's no problem (apart from wasting 2 hours this morning trying to figure out what the **bleep** had gone wrong), just curious as to BT's logic here.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Gregch.
To be honest, the problem seems to be at the destination smtp service end and nothing to do with BT. You've not really supplied any details of the error message - is there anything else in the received message ?
You've assumed that it's a BT fault, rather than perhaps investigating the possible error at Verio. As the other accounts work as exists, it really does point at Verio (or indeed something local, perhaps a security package interferring etc).

Will not send mail from new account

(I don't see a category for "mail" program on the discussions.)
I have a new account, but cannot get it to send mail from it. I get the message to try a different server, but no server works.
Thanks

Hi Mimi,
I reported your topic to have it moved to the Mac OS X v10.3 & earlier > Mail & Address Book forum.
It should be moved shortly.
In the meantime, it would help if you could post back with which OS version you are using (ie. OSX 10.3.9 ?) and who your ISP is (Internet Service Provider).

Cant send mail from i phone 3s, with a tiscali account

I can no longer send mail from my tiscali mail account on my i phone 3s, or my ipad without going through web mail account. please can anyone advise

Isn't mail.virgin.net the name of the Incoming Server -- the incoming server, which you say is working is set up at Mail Preferences/Accounts/Account Information as to name of the server, Username, and password, along with entries in Mail Preferences/Accounts/Advanced for Port select for the Incoming.
However, if that is working for you, you must have it correct. For the Outgoing server, isn't the proper name for Virgin services smtp.virgin.net? In Mail Preferences/Accounts/Account Information, click on the arrows beside the name of the SMTP, and choose Edit Server List. Remove all, or all but one of any references to the smtp.virgin.net. Enter anew, or with the remaining server, click on the Advanced Tab there, and choose Use Custom Ports. Then enter the Custom Port to be Port 25, and set the Authentication to None, and have no entries in Username or Password. This is consistent with those specs I can online saying the SMTP does not require Authentication.
Also click Use this server only. Now if the smtp.virgin.net server is online, it should work.

Cant send mail from 1 account

I have 3 mail accounts on my powerbook, one is bellsouth. When I try to send mail from the bellsouth account, it tells me it can't use the selected server. Bellsouth won't let me use other servers ( including .mac accounts) so if I have to send mail when I'm connected via bellsouth I have to use that account. I'm able to send via bellsouth from my other notebok ( windows) so the problem has to be on the powerbook somewhere. I've deleted the account from mail, and re-added it a few times, all to no avail.
any suggestsion would be greatly appreciated!
I'm running the latest build of Tiger.

changed the port to 25, everything working fine now.
