Can You set a Default Email Address when sending Emails

I have multiple email accounts set up. When I compose a new message, it always uses the send address of the message that is selected in the open window. Is there anyway to set a particular address as default or better yet don't pick an address and force me to select one from the pull down list?

Hello Doug.
Copied from Setting the account your email is sent from.
If you have set up multiple accounts in Mail, when you create a new message, the account the message is sent from is the one associated with the currently selected mailbox. If the current mailbox is listed in the On My Mac section of the mailbox list and is not associated with any particular account, then your message is sent from the first account listed in the Accounts pane of Mail Preferences.
You can select a different account to use to send the mail.
To send a message from a different account, choose the account from the Account pop-up menu when you're composing the message.
To change the order in which accounts are listed in the mailbox list, drag the account names into the order you want. You can also rearrange the account order in the Accounts pane of Mail Preferences.
Tiger Mail includes a default email account selection when selecting New to compose a new message regardless which mailbox is currently selected.

    Hello EireReality. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Can I set a default home page when people use my router?
    No, at least not that I'm aware of. Setting a "default home page" is typical feature of a web browser, not an Internet router.

  • How can I set my default email address when sending new messages

      I have 2 accounts in my Mail Preferences, hotmail and gmail.  I have tried to set it so when I send a message to a new recipient  it is my gmail one that is used as default.  However,  it is thehotmail account that is always ticked first.
    I would like to set my mail preferences so the gmail is my default first choice in sending new messages and is ticked as my default email address.

  • Can you set the default alarm to be an email alert?

    Just curious. I noticed that in the preference window, it allows you to set a default alarm that always starts as a sound.
    Any plug-ins that will do this?
    Thanks a bunch.

    Try this add-on so you can schedule the sending of multiple emails:

  • Can you set up a smart group to send to all email addresses for each card?

    So several of my contacts have more than one email address. I'd like to set up smart groups that send to all of the email addresses for each contact. Is there any way to do this? I've seen some topics that mention applescripts, but that required a bunch of prompts. I want to have smart groups that automatically include every email address. Any thoughts?
    Thanks!
    Dan

    A distribution list in Address book will only allow you to choose one email address per contact. There is no way to change that.
    As you discovered, you can write an applescript that will send to all addresses in the contact. I'm not sure where you got the idea that it needed lots of prompts. There might have been prompts in the ones you saw because the user wanted to choose.

  • 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.

  • Can you set a "default" web page in a KM folder?

    Hi there,
    I've been playing around with using Adobe Contribute to edit web pages in a CM Repository. It was easy to create a CM repository, put some web pages and supporting CSS, images etc. in there, and create a KM navigation iView that displays the default page. Setting up Adobe Contribute to edit those pages via a WebDAV protocol was simple too, and to be honest I find the Contribute interface and functionality easier to use (particularly from the average end user's point of view) and implement than the Portal's built-in HTML editor, or the Web Page Composer.
    But then I ran into a snag. In order to be able to "administer" the site with Contribute (or Dreamweaver), it creates an _mm folder and puts a "guard" page in it. The guard page is a file which would be returned to the browser when it tries to access a folder. In a normal website that would be a "default" page (e..g index.htm, default.htm etc.), but in the Portal there doesn't seem to be a way to have one. I believe that's why if you try to access a folder through a browser you get:
    "The folder you are looking for has no displayable content.
    You can try one of the following:
    Access the folder using the Navigation user interface.
    Access the folder as a Web folder. Your operating system and browser dictate whether or not this will work."
    That's what happens if I use something like http://<host name>:<port number>/irj/go/km/docs/<repository prefix>/<folder name>/ as a URL, though http://<host name>:<port number>/irj/go/km/docs/<repository prefix>/<folder name>/default.htm works just fine (as you would expect). And I can retrieve a fake "guard" page using http://<host name>:<port number>/irj/go/km/docs/<repository prefix>/<folder name>/_mm/default.htm
    An Adobe technote confirms this as problem - [Guard Page not found|http://go.adobe.com/kb/ts_f3675780_en-us]. Does any one know if a default page can be set in a CM repository.
    Regards,
    Tom

    I don't think you can.
    What is possible is to set content on the folder resource itself; that would be returned instead of the page you mentioned.

  • Tax codes - can you set up default value for rows and freight? HELP!

    Hello - I have two issues with tax codes:
    1. When adding  a sales order if any of the rows do not have a value for "Tax Code"  I will get an error "Row without tax was found".
    - How can I get all rows on my sales orders, documents, etc to default to a specific tax code? Or will users ALWAYS have to enter the tax code?
    2. When addring a sales order with Freight, if the order is added without adding a tax code to the freight I will get an error "Expense with tax was found"
    - How can I get the tax code have a default value? We always use the same tax code, so it is redundant to have to enter this information.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi Jhon,
    this is the simplest and best way to make a Tax Code default is Go to
    Answer for Question 1
    Administration -> Setup -> Financial ->  Tax -> Tax Code Determination (Click on this)
    in that screen you can set a default tax code for both sales as well as Purchase.
    If you want to set Tax Code based on Vendors or Customers or Items separately then you can use the Key Fields.
    Answer for Question 2
    Once you enter the Tax Code in the freight i think it takes the Tax Code itself, I'm not so sure about this one though.
    Hope this helps you out
    regards,
    Shreyas

  • Can you set a default value using Data Mover Scripts?

    Hi,
    We're going through a upgrade of PS Fin 8.9 -> 9.1. We've found some existing tables with new columns that are marked as NOT NULL so we're having trouble migrating the data using DMS.
    Is there a way to Export the data from 8.9 and when importing into 9.1, set a default value for the new column using DMS?
    A specific example would be the PS_SOURCE_TBL where EXCHANGE_RATE_OPTN is new and NOT NULL.
    Thanks for any assistance.

    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.

  • CSV Export - can you set a default directory?

    Can the "Save As" folder be defaulted to a specific location when exporting a report as CSV?
    I want to try and get all users to store the exported csv files in the same location rather than having them saved on local C:\ drives or various other network locations.
    I'm using HTMLDB 1.6 on Ora9.2

    Theoretically yes but practically NO!
    If yes, then user should install ActiveX(for IE) or java (FF and others) which will be called to determine that setting.
    But my suggestion is to leave that setting alone...
    BTW, any download that you have done on Interent...was it automatically or was guided by your decision?

  • Can you set a default print quality?

    Good Morning Everyone,
    I've been putting up with this annoyance since I install PSE 8. I've looked for a solution but can't find one. Hope you can help.
    Here's the problem.
    Every time I print a document PSE 8 defaults to a print quality of 1200 dpi, which take forever to print. So I have been clicking on
    Change setting, then if I click on the drop down box for print quality the only choice is 1200, so I click on advanced setting and choose
    normal (which is 600) click ok and print. But I have to do this every time I print. I'm using a HP C3100 all in one printer and I've check the printer
    properities and they are set to a default of normal (600 dpi). Any ideas?
    Thanks
    Nancy

    Nancy,
    We have had several posts recently relating to printers and PSEv.8. Check on the HP site for updated drivers for your model. If there is an updated driver, install it. Let us know how you make out.

  • Can you set the default Filter under Admin tab in UCSM?

    Such a minor and trivial question but just curious. It defaults to 'Faults, Events, and Audit Log'. A majority of the time that's all you'll need after initial setup, but I was wondering if I could somehow set the filter to 'All' as the default view.
    Is this possible?

    You can't, Apple would have to do this.
