Can't change my default mail account. Only shows one account in settings

I have two email accounts on ipad2, but only one shows up as a selection option for default. Would like to change default account to the account not showing as current default account.

Your default email account is probably the one that is associated with your Apple ID email address.
Go to Settings>Mail, contacts, calendars>Mail>Default Account and see if you can change it there.

  • How can I change the default mail account in mail v6.3

    I have in my mail preferences four accounts. The first one is a "Google IMAP" and all others are just "IMAP". When I'm composing a new email it defaults to the wrong account. Intuitively I think the the first account listed under mail preference would be the default one, but I'm unable to move the order. How to I change this?

    To change your default mail account, you just have to change the mail accounts order in the Mail sidebar. First of all, if you don't see your mailboxes under "Inbox" (at the top of the sidebar), press the arrow, and your mail accounts will appear.
    Now, you just have to drag the mail account you want by default to the first position

  • How can I change the e-mail address that shows when I try to order from iBooks?

    Hi.  I recently had to change my e-mail address, and successfully changed my Apple ID to reflect the new e-mail.  However, while trying to order a book through iBooks today, I noticed that I was asked for my password and that my old e-mail was showing.  How can I change the old address to the new one so that I can order from iBooks?  Thank you.

    Hi, fromsouth, and thank you for your reply.  When I go to store, there is no place that says "sign out" so I can't do this.  My old email is showing, and when I click on it I am asked for my password.  I tried my old password that I used with that email, but was told it was incorrect.  This is so frustrating!  I can't do any ordering on my iPad until this problem is solved.  Thanks again.

  • How can I change my default mail?

    I have four email accounts set up on my iPhone 5s. When I compose an email, a business email address is always chosen as default. How can I change that to my personal account?

    Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Mail: Default Account > Change it to whatever you want it to be.
    Make sure you're choosing the 'Default Account' listed under the Mail heading, not the Contacts heading.

  • Can you change a PDF file to only allow one person have it open on a shared network?

        At my office, we all work from the same network and are constantly sharing files. We need to add comments and edit PDF files. One thing I have noticed is that adobe will not tell you that someone else has the file open until you have made all your changes and are trying to save it. Is there anyway you can be notified when you open the file that someone else is in it or only allow one user to have it open at a time?
    By the way... we are all using Adobe Acrobat X Standard

    No, there isn't. The way you're using the file is not recommended. You
    should use a review tracker to avoid getting in the way of one another.

  • In the iclouds settings of my new iphone apears an old not existing account.. so I can't login.. how can I change the apple ID into my actual one in the settings of icloud on my iphone?

    all other settings are correct with my new apple ID... itunes works and all other devises too..

    If the contacts on icloud.com are correct, go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts off (if it is on) and choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted.  Now check the contacts on your phone to confirm that you no longer have any contacts on your phone.  If some or all of them are still on your phone, download the free app My Contacts Backup to your phone.  Open the app, tap the gear icon on the bottom right and in the window that opens, scroll to the bottom and tap Remove All Contacts.  Confirm that the contacts are now all deleted from your phone.  Now go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contact on.  The correct contact list from icloud.com should download to your phone.

  • How to change the default mail server??? Please help.

    I need to change the default mail server to my yahoo account. When I had my PC this was easy but I cannot figgure it out on the MAC. I am in China and I need to inform my insurance company of some information or they are going to cancel a policy. When I go to their site for email contact what pops up is the apple email, which I do not have an account for and ofcourse does not work. Their email address does not show and I cannot find it anywhere so I need to change the default to my yahoo account. On my PC this was easy and when I went to a site that had a contact but no email address, my yahoo account would come up. I hope I am explaining this correctly. I really need to do this fast as the letter I got took some time to get here and I just returned from some field work so I have about 2 or 3 days to get the information to them. Thank you.

    John,
    This does not demonstrate anything for me, since it brings up a Compose window for Mail, with my preferred account as the From address. This happens whether I access with Safari, or with Firefox.
    The point that I am trying to make, is that in OSX, there is no way to have web mail access become the default mail method -- it only works with a true mail client, for POP, IMAP or .mac access on your Desktop.
    If you have the type of yahoo account that can be setup for POP access with Mail, then when you click, you can choose your yahoo address as the From address to send from.
    Of course you can insert the address in a new message with your Yahoo web mail, but I have understood you to want to have the message start containing the info from one of the pages on the site?
    See the discussion at the following link, for setting up a Yahoo account in Mail:

  • Can you change the default font in an iPad mail account?

    I suspect you can't, but just checking: can you change the default font in an iPad mail account?

    There is no way to change the default font in the mail app. You can make the type larger by using the accessibility feature of larger text. Settings>General>Accessibility>Larger Text. There is an app that allows you to add fonts to the iPad, but I do not think this works with the built in iOS apps such as mail.
    You can check it out.

  • Change default mail program without setting up account

    I want to set a different mail application as my default, but my understanding is that you have to do that from within Mail on OSX. Every time I open Mail, it asks me to set up an account, but I don't want/need to set up an account, and I can't get to the prefs window (to change my default mail program) without setting up an account. Help!

    Hi, yes, that's one silly thing about OSX, one way around it is a Pref Pane called RCDefaultApp 2.1...

    How can I change the default text color (black to blue) in Mail on out going email with Mountain Lion

    There really aren't default outgoing font settings. They are only there for viewing. A workaround I have seen mentioned is to start you signature with the font style you want to use. When you start your message, click in that first part of your signature.
    Something like

  • When I opt to "download this as a file" from my email account, Firefox defaults to notepad to open the file. How can I change the default to MS Word?

    Question
    When I opt to "download this as a file" from my email account, Firefox defaults to notepad to open the file. How can I change the default to MS Word?

    Is FF downloading the file as a .txt file? If so, go to "Folder Options" in the windows control panel. Click on the "File Types" tab. Scroll down until you reach the TXT file extension. Look to see what that extension opens with (lower part of panel). It probably shows notepad. Click on the <Change> button. Scroll down until you find "Microsoft Word." Select it and click the <OK> button. That should show the TXT extension is now associated with Microsoft Word. Click the <Close> button at the bottom of the panel.
    If FF is downloading the file as any other type, use the same process as above except look for the corresponding extension instead. If the extension is not listed click on the <New> button and create an association using the extension in the file name and then associate it with MS Word.
