Choosing from which email address an ical invitation comes from

I have several email addresses and would like to choose each time from which email address my ical invitation comes from. Now it always comes from my work email address and I definitely do not want that. I went into my card in the address book and saw that my work email address was the top email address so I deleted that and entered it in again, hoping it would then be at the bottom but no, as soon as I saved my contact card the work email address sneaked up to the top.
How can I choose (without fiddling with the contact card) from which email address my ical invitation comes from?
Hope there is someone out there with a solution

I'm at work so I am not on my Mac but if memory serves me correctly, the email is sent from your default email address which is set in Apple Mail's preferences. Currently, I have my default send address set to "whichever account is selected".
So, in Mail if my MobileMe email address is selected, the invite is sent from MobileMe. If Gmail is selected, Gmail sends the invite.
Give that a try and see if it works.

  • Deleted alias shown as inviting email address in iCal invitation

    I just discovered that an already deleted alias is shown as inviting email address in my iCal invitation to others. I double checked this in the iCloud Mail account settings: The alias is definitely gone there, but still used for invitations.
    Does anyone have an idea how this can happen? How to fix this?
    Thanks!

    Interestingly this only happens when creating events on the iPhone. When I create an event on icloud.com in the browser the sender email address is correct.

  • Sending Invites From Different Email Addresses

    Howdy--
    I have set up two calendars on my Mac Calendar, one called "Home" and the other called "Work".  When I send a Calendar invite to my wife for a "Home" event, I want that invite to be sent from my personal email address (currently my "home" email address listed in my contact for myself in Contacts) and when I send a Calendar invite to a business colleague for a work event, I would like that invite to be sent from one of my "work" emails (also listed in my contact for myself in Contacts as "work").
    When I send a work invite right now, the invite comes from my "home" email address--and I don't want my work colleagues knowing or using my personal email address. 
    Is there a way to dictate which email address a Calendar invite is sent from?  I know back in my Outlook days you could literally just select which account you wanted the invite to be sent from.  Does Apple's Calendar application have a similar trick?
    In the past, I had used the work around where I actually changed my AppleID email address to my work email address, so then all of my Calendar invites were sent from that work email address.  But I have two work email addresses now, so I can't use that trick. 
    TL/DR:  How can I send Calendar invites from personal and work email addresses?
    Thanks for your help--I REALLY appreciate it.
    All best,
    MC

    Try this:
    Sign out of iMessage on all devices. Sign back in on your iPhone. Wait until it is completely activated. Then, sign back in on the other devices using the same Apple ID.

  • How do I choose which email address to send a calendar invite from?

    I use iCalendar for business.  I don't want to send company calendar invites with my personal @.mac account.  Years ago I had a Bberry and could choose which email address to send it from while creating a meeting in the calendar.  Is this not possible with Apple Technology?

    Open Mail app. Click where it says mail on the upper left corner of the screen, choose preferences choose accounts tab on the top then select the account you don't want anymore and click the - button at the bottom.

  • ICal sending invites from wrong email address

    My Mac has an Oedipus complex: Whenever I send an invitation from my Calendar on my iMac, it appears to be sent not from my email address but from my mother's address. (She doesn't even use my computer.)
    So far, all of the settings seem to be correct:
    In Calendar, Preferences / Accounts setting correctly lists my email address.
    In Contacts, the "Me" card correctly identifies itself as me, with my address.
    In Mail, Preferences / Accounts setting correctly lists my address.
    Also in Mail, Preferences / Composing correctly lists my address under the "Send new messages from" field.
    In the iCloud system preference and the iCloud website, my correct address is the only one listed.
    In none of those settings does my mother's address appear.
    The only think I can think of is that I gave her my old iPad for Christmas and reformatted it using her email address as the default account. That's the only time I've ever entered her address in anything. She doesn't have her own Apple ID, so I synced it using my iTunes.
    Facetime now insists upon listing her address as one of my available accounts, so I'm thinking one of the Apple settings somewhere considers her address to be my newest. How do I fix this?

    I was having trouble setting the default email account in the mail app. Even moving it to the top didn't seem to work. Finally got it working by doing this:
    If an account mailbox is at the top, but the account is not the default, drag it down and then back up to the top. This will reset the order and establish the top one as the default.

  • ICal & attendees: how do I select which email address?

    When I add attendees to an iCal event (local or CalDAV, it doesn't matter), from either the Address Panel or dragging names from Address Book itself, they're automatically added with their 'top' email address. This is somewhat expected, but I cannot change the address that their name is linked to.
    For example:
    a friend of mine has two email addresses. The top one is their school account, and the bottom one is their gmail one.
    In the Address Panel, I can see (and select) either address, and drag to the event's attendee list. But it always selects their school account, and the drop-down in iCal doesn't give me any other options.
    If I drag from Address Book, the behavior is the same.
    I've occasionally encountered apparent glitches, where an attendee is added TWICE with one drag-drop action. Stranger still, these result in the first/top name containing only their top email address, while the second contains all of their email addresses (the expected and desired result).
    If I type in their name, the drop-down list contains all possible matches and all their email addresses, and if I select one, it behaves as expected, and selects that address, and not the top one. The name now in the list only contains the selected email, however, instead of all of their addresses.
    So... is there a way I can get all those email addresses to appear all the time? Or at least some way to enforce which email is added, instead of randomly adding the 'top' one, which may or may not be correct?
    And if this isn't the normal behavior (which it doesn't seem to be), may I HIGHLY recommend that it become the normal behavior? Obviously, an email address must be chosen by default, but why limit the choices when you have access to all of them? Especially when it makes groups nearly useless when used to add as attendees?

    To view a different account in the Mail app tap the email account name at the top left of the Inbox, then tap Mailboxes at the top of the folder selection window, and you should then be able to select a different email account and navigate down into it's folders

  • Affecting the "From" address for ical invites

    Does anyone know of any scripts that help adjust the "from" address for ical invites? I use 6 or so addresses for different purposes (almost all gmail), and it is helpful if I can send invites from a specific address which the intended recipient is used to seeing from me, else I risk it being sent to their junk inbox, and (gasp) appearing unprofessional.
    Thanks.
    Matthew

    Hi Matthew,
    There are six handlers in the applescript (all staring with "on send..." or 'on show..."). Find the fifth one.
    The third to last line in the fifth handler is "send mymail". Replace this line with:
    -- Altered to open notifications in Mail.app without sending
    -- Original line quoted out below.
    -- send mymail
    set visible of mymail to true
    activate
    -- End Altered to open notifications
    Save and close the applescript.
    This modification has survived several updates in Tiger on my machine. I'd expect the transfer to Leopard will mean re-assessing it.

  • Choosing which email address shows when emailing

    How do you  select which email address appears when you click on 'write' in Apple Mail? I have 5 addresses but for some reason it has started choosing one that I do not use that often rather than my main usage one. I'm using Mavericks.

    No, it's your reply to my solution.
    Mine say Csound1 at top left.
    But it works now, enjoy the accolade.

  • When i send a text in iMessage the person receiving it gets it from my email address... how do i change that. and in message settings the receiving thing has my email and phone number but my phone number is gray and i can't click on it

    when i send a text in iMessage the person receiving it gets it from my email address... how do i change that. and in message settings the receiving thing has my email and phone number but my phone number is gray and i can't click on it help

    Hello Todd:
    I had this very same problem when trying to activate iMessage and Facetime on my iPad. When I signed into my account, I actually wasn't even presented with the option of a phone number - notwithstanding the fact that I was contacting others (and being reached by others) by my phone number on my iPhone. Having both the iPad and the iPhone on, I kept trying to turn off and on both iMessage and Facebook in Settings on both my iPad and iPhone, hoping that that they would eventually sync. But this proposed solution by others was unsuccessful for me.
    Then, I found out what the problem was: When my iPhone was activated, it automatically registered my phone number for contact purposes. I was using iMessage on my iPhone for quite some time without actually being signed into my Apple ID account. When another device - such as an iPad or iPod - is being used for iMessage or Facebook, you are prompted to sign into your Apple account, using your username and password. These two devices will not register your phone number as an option for contact unless your iPhone is signed into your Apple account as well. In other words: your phone number will not be synced.
    Go into your "Settings" on your iPhone and click on "Messages". Scroll down and click on "Send & Receive" (which should be followed by your phone number). On the next page, you will be able to determine whether or not your iPhone is using the Apple ID for messaging purposes. (Note: This information applies for Facetime as well.) If it is using your Apple ID for messaging, than at the top, you will see "Apple ID: <your particular e-mail account>" in Blue text. However, if you are not using your Apple ID for messaging, than you will see the words: "Use your Apple ID for message". Even though below this you will see your phone number checked as the contact source, you will want to click the tab that says, "Use your Apple ID for message". Sign into your account (just as you must sign in for iMessage on your other devices), and just choose your phone number as the "Send & Receive" contact. (The option of the e-mail will be there too, but you don't have to check it. And later on, you can delete it as an option.)
    Now that all of your devices are signed in using your Apple ID, the other devices should register your phone number as a choice. It may take a little while, however. What I did was sign out of iMessage on my iPad, and then sign in again. If the option didn't appear, I just went back and signed in again, and kept doing this until the option for the phone number appeared.
    Again, this will work for Facetime as well. The solution is to sync your iPhone account with the other devices by using your Apple ID for messaging (and Facetime) purposes.
    I hope that this works for you, Todd!   ~ Brian

  • Emails from hotmail alias still showing as from primary email address - can anyone help?

    Hi,
    I've added an alias email address using Manage Identities.
    When I compose an email from that alias address, I can choose my alias email address in the 'From' bar - so that bit seems to be working.
    But the recipient is still seeing my primary address in the 'From'.
    Can anyone help?
    Just to clarify - I'm talking about a primary and an alias email in Outlook/hotmail, not two separate email accounts.
    Many thanks in advance

    This comes down to how your email provider operates "alias" email accounts. They may be overridng whatever "from:" address you choose to use, in which case you may need to find an alternative provider.

  • All of a sudden my iphone is sending text messages from my email address instead of my phone number?

    My phone is sending my text messages from my email address, not from my phone number.  How do I fix this?

    what if I only can choose the email address which I can delete and I also have an out of states number because I used my phone back home and now Im back in the states and I cannot get it back to my US cell number its just set at my email and I want to change it...HELP!

  • Sending from multiple email addresses.

    I have multiple gmail addresses:
    sue.OBM AT gmail.com
    sue.realestate AT gmail.com
    sue.dogwalker AT gmail.com
    (ps above emails are actually made up)
    I'm using the Apple mail client that comes with my iMac and when I send an email it keeps using only one of the servers above. 
    Even when I change the "sent from" address to sue.OBM AT gmail.com  it sends from sue.dogwalker AT gmail.com.
    And of course the person receiving it sees its from a dog walker so they either trash it as junk because they don't recognize it or they find out their business manager is a dog walker. I don't want that.
    When I open up the server list it just says Gmail: and lists all of the addresses I have, they are not listed individually like my icloud addresses are. So I can't pick a specific server to send from and it's always going from one I don't want.  I want to be able to pick and choose which server to send from depending on whom I'm sending to.
    Are there some Mac/Gmail experts out there? Is there some way for me to fix this? It's getting embarrassing! I did post to a Google forum and they said I need to set it up correctly in my mail client. But when I add a gmail address it doesn't specifically ask for a server.  (and I don't exactly know what I'd put if it did)
    Thanks a bunch, Happy Turkey Day!
    Susan
    PS I had to change the pretend email address above as Apple wouldn't allow me to put an email address in this post.

    Could you confirm what you mean by true alias? I'm not familiar with that you mean. Currently (to recap) i have multiple accounts linked to my gmail account (all gmail accounts) and i have it set up so i can pick the email address i want to use to send an email online in gmail. After setting up IMAP (not POP) i put in "[email protected], [email protected]" in the account settings which gives me the drop down box and allows me to select which email address i want to sent messages from within mail.app. Now i've sent multiple messages to friends to test this, and here are my results. When responding to an email if i select either of the drop down options it will send from that selected address. When composing an e-mail, even if i pick the options, it will default to my first e-mail address.
    It just won't let me pick the one i want to send from when i'm composing a new message, but it will let me choose when i reply to an email. sort of a strange occurrence. I know there is an option under "compose" in the preferences that let me choose the DEFAULT e-mail, but i'm assuming that just picks the first e-mail to show up in the drop down. I'm just not sure why it only works when replying, not replying AND composing.

  • I know have a mobile me account and so my apple id is switched from my email address.  i am trying to update my apps but it won't let me as it won't recognize my new 'ID'. how can i fix this on my iphone?

    I have mobile me account now and so my apple id is switched from my email address to my mobile me address.  Since I have made this change I can't update my apps. Everytime I try to sign in it won't recognize the switch. I have updated all the proper information on my iphone, however, when updating apps it still shows my apple id as my email address and not the mobile me account address. I am not sure what else to do???  I have even sync'd my iphone and tried to do it through my pc, however, it says that it can't update (nothing to update). I have ten updates sitting on my iphone apps...What to do...what to do?  Very confused.

    Where are you trying to log in? You should be able to change your ID at http://appleid.apple.com - can you log in there?
    Before you change your ID you should log out of the iTunes Store and on any devices which are logged into iCloud. Then once you've changed it you can log back in with the new ID. (Your iCloud synced data will disappear from the device when you do this but will reappear when you sign back in - give it time).
    If you are unable to sign into http://appleid.apple.com you will need to contact Support. Go to http://iforgot.apple.com and sign in with your iCloud login. A new password will be sent to your associated email address. If this doesn't work you will have to contact Support. Go to https://getsupport.apple.com . Click' See all products and services', then 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID', then 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password'. If you have any problems with that try this form: https://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html

  • Contacts: Specify which email address to use in Contact Group?

    I have a few mailing lists that I keep in Contacts. However, I have multiple email addresses for some of these contacts. When I send an email to the list, the wrong email address will be used for some of the contacts.  Is it possible to specify a default email address for a contact? Or a way to specify which email address of a contact should be used for each Contact group?
    Thanks!

    Yes.
    So select the group in Contacts. Then choose Edit->Edit Distribution List... and you can pick which of the emails you want to use for the group in question.
    It took me a while to find it, but I've done it before so I managed to turn it up

  • I want to send iMessages from my email address

    I seem to have the opposite problem of most iMessage users. I want my iMessage to use my email address to send messages, NOT my phone number.
    I am currently living overseas, but all of my contacts are still back home, so I want to use iMessage with my email address, since my email address is permanent, while my overseas phone number is temporary. I have set up iMessage to start all conversations from my email address. This has worked for several months, but occasionally it will switch back to using my phone number, breaking up the conversation on the recipient's phone. Although my contacts all iMessage me from their email addresses (to ensure they don't get dinged for overseas SMS), occasionally my phone will receive messages from their phone numbers, breaking up the conversation on my phone.
    iOS appears to choose sending iMessages from phone numbers and email addresses at random. How do I ensure that my phone consistently uses my email address for messages, as it is set up to do?
    Thanks.

    Settings > Message > Send & Receive > Start New Conversations From ...
    Of course, this will apply only to new conversations.  If you are replying to something that someone else sent to your email address, then it will be sent from your email address.
