Default address in "from" field?

I have 4 e-mail accounts that Mail checks. When I write an e-mail (that is not an answer) I want the "from" address to be my Mac account. Mail does not remember this.
If I LOOK in another mailbox, then Mail changes the "From" to be from that mail box account. How do I set the default to always be my Mac account??

Any way I can set the default "from" field based on the account I'm sending from?
I have two accounts defined: work and personal. Each account has 2 email addresses associated with it (as a comma-separated list in the "Email Address" field under "Account Information"). Let's call the email addresses work-A, work-B, personal-A, personal-B.
In the Composing prefs I can either select ONE default email address to send ALL mail from, or I can select to send from "Account of Last Viewed Mailbox", in which case Mail will choose a work email address if I'm in a work mailbox and a personal email address if I'm in a personal mailbox.
That second option is great, except I can't control which work email address it chooses - A or B. Changing the order of the email addresses in the Account Information->Email Address field has no effect - it consistently chooses the "wrong" one :-/
Any way I can use "Account of Last Viewed Mailbox" and still set a default mail address per account?

Defaulting the email address in From field.

Hi ,
I am working on requirement to default the email address in from field and populate the eligible emails ID 's as drop down in from field based on some condition. So I need to overwrite the standard emails data that are already coming in from field.Please see the attachment for your reference.
I did below analysis.
Component:CRMCMP_CCS_EML
View:Email header
Method: DO_PREPRRE_OUTPUT.
I achieved populating the drop down values..by populating the values in typed_context->mail->gt_default_from_addresses.
But my requirement is to default one email based on some condition. So I populated the default value as first entry in the drop down list box so that it will automatically default.
It's working as expected if we have personalizing setting for Drop down list as 'Default'.Please see the attachment for your reference. But it's not working if we have settings like 'By Value' and 'By Key'.
Ex: If I have two emails in GT_DEFAULT_FROM_ADDRESS like .[email protected],CC(First entry Default)[email protected](Second entry). if I use the settings 'Default' it's default with [email protected] if i use other setting it's defaulting with [email protected]
Could any one has any idea how to handle this..and options that we have in this case.
Or is there any other field I can default for From Field. (This should work for New ,Reply and Reply all )
I appreciate your help on this.
Thanks,
SaraSAP.

Hi Sara,
I believe that selection is controlled by attribute typed_context->mail->GV_SELECTION_FROM.
So, when you populate the possible entries in typed_context->mail->gt_default_from_addresses, just try to fill your desired default value in mentioned attribute and check if that works.
Kind regards,
Garcia

IPhone automatically places different email address in From field.

When I receive an email to my @me address (which is an alias), then hit reply to respond, my iphone automatically places my @mac address in the From field. Why won't it automatically reply from the same email that the message was received in?
Just to clarify:
I received an email to my [email protected] address. When I reply to the message, my phone automically places [email protected] into the From field.
So I have to tap the From field to switch it back to the [email protected]
This works fine on my computer. The email that received the message is the same email that is automatically placed in the From field.
Any suggestions

the .mac is my default.... but it's alway been the default and I've never has to switch it in the past. I just recently had upgrade the software on my phone, though.

Adding additional email addresses to From field

In the default iOS Mail app, how can I add additional email addresses to the "From" field? It only allows me to select accounts which are set up on the phone. However I have one email account which forwards to another, but I want to respond to those messages using the original address it was sent to.

SOLVED.
Once a ePrint job had been submitted from each of the email addresses I added in the Allowed Senders Only list, all emails showed up on the ePrint Settings list. Works fine.

Setting the InitialAddressList property is the programmatic equivalent to selecting an AddressList from the drop-down list for Address Book in
the Select Names dialog box.
In its default state, InitialAddressList is the AddressList that has the property AddressList.IsInitialAddressList set
to True. IsInitialAddressList corresponds to setting Show this address list first in the Addressing dialog
box, which is available by clicking Tools, and then Options in the Address
Book dialog box.

Upgrade Default Address Lists from LDAP

Hello,
I migrated from MS Exchange 2003 to 2010 some time back. Currently trying to upgrade the address lists as per the guide here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd351283.aspx
When I run
Set-GlobalAddressList "Default Global Address List" -RecipientFilter {(Alias -ne $null -and (ObjectClass -eq 'user' -or ObjectClass -eq 'contact' -or ObjectClass -eq 'msExchSystemMailbox' -or ObjectClass -eq 'msExchDynamicDistributionList' -or ObjectClass -eq 'group' -or ObjectClass -eq 'publicFolder'))}I get the following error:what should I do? Thanks.

Hi Birenc,
the default Global Address List can be modified during the conversion from Exchange 2003. You won't be able to do it after that hence the error message.
1- Run Get-GlobalAdressList | fl and check the IsDefaultGlobalAddressList value. I believe in your case this would be False.
2- To change this you would need to change the msExchRecipientFilterFlags attribute. you can do this via ADSIEDIT. Open ADSIEDIT connect to the Configuration container. Find the Default Global Address List and change the above attribute value from 3 to
0 and apply the changes. Then change it back to 3 and apply changes.
3- Run GlobalAdressList | fl again and the IsDefaultGlobalAddressList value should now be true.
This should fix your issue.

How do I change the default address book from the Personal Address Book?

Whenever I click on an email address from within an email and ask to add it to my address book, the contact is added to Personal Address Book. How do I change that so that new addresses will be added to another book?

I do not know of a way to change the default but after you click the star beside the address to add it to the address book, click the star a second time to open the edit dialog box. There is a drop down list of your address books to make the change there.

Set default "from" field in Mail per account?

Is there any way I can set the default "from" field in Mail based on the account I'm sending from?
I have two accounts defined: work and personal. Each account has 2 email addresses associated with it (as a comma-separated list in the "Email Address" field under "Account Information"). Let's call the email addresses work-A, work-B, personal-A, personal-B.

Any way I can use "Account of Last Viewed Mailbox" and still set a default mail address per account?

Since my last post, I found tried putting
Preferences->Accounts->Email address to be my edu address
would add my .edu address as one of my from choices
Next, I sent myself a mail message, with following result:
The .edu address is now rejected by the outgoing server with the message:
Cannot send message using the server
The sender address (my .edu address) was rejected by the server
I had this working at some time, but not now. Help, please.

How to set a default "from" field on outgoing Mail message

i read through the last few pages of this support forum and googled my topic but i havent found a suitable solution.
in Mail v 3 (3.4) there is a "From:" field in any outgoing mail. very useful for those of us with multiple non-accounts and/or .Mac aliases. i generally set a specific outgoing mail server (so that field is removed from outgoing email).
my problem is how to set a default outgoing email address so that my recipients always get from a certain (eg work) email address when i am at work. at work, anything i send, i want to show my work email without always having to manually select the "FROM" field in the outgoing email.
( aside: i had read that Mail version 3 was supposed to auto-select any reply so that the reply would come from the same email i orginally sent as. this does not work on my mac.)
This problem is exacerbated as Mail auto-rotates between my 4 email accounts/aliases (which are all listed (correctly) in the FROM field. it would be great if this list could be fixed with a default FROM address.
eg i send an email from my work email address (FROM: [email protected]) the next email i send will be rotated through my list of .mac aliases. i.e. the next email i send will not be from [email protected], but from [email protected] the next time it might move on to [email protected] or it might revert to [email protected]
any thoughts on how to fix?
i have tried deleting the home/library/preferences/com.apple.mail.plist. that is fine, but any .mac aliases (which i do use, but i dont want to be listed in the "FROM" field) are listed in the "FROM" field, and are auto-switched through my Mail again.
i looked through Rules and Automator, but no obvious help there. any thoughts?

Did you try Preferences > Accounts > Account Information and entering these other email aliases in the Email Address: field, separated by commas? That would give you a pop-down menu in the New Message window letting you choose which alias to use when sending an email.
If you go to Preferences > Composing, there should be a pop-down menu near the middle of that window labeled "Send new mail from:" which will let you choose any email address you have entered in the Account Information field mentioned above, or "Account of last viewed mailbox" as the default.

Outgoing mail contains all-caps letters in "From" field email address

For some reason, all of a sudden Mail is sending email with all caps email addresses in the "From" field. Before the entire address was capitalized; now it's just my username (e.g. [email protected]).
This happened about a month ago and I noticed that in Address Book, my contact information (for myself) was in edit mode. I turned editing off and that seemed to fix the problem. But this time, Address Book is not even open. Any ideas as to why my outgoing email address in the From: field would change to all capital letters? It's definitely machine/software-specific as this does not happen on my other computer, a MacBook.

Hi Sara,
I believe that selection is controlled by attribute typed_context->mail->GV_SELECTION_FROM.
So, when you populate the possible entries in typed_context->mail->gt_default_from_addresses, just try to fill your desired default value in mentioned attribute and check if that works.

The incorrect iCloud email (in the from field)address is appearing

The incorrect iCloud email (in the from field) address is appearing on my iPod touch, but not on my MacBook Pro. The I Pod's ICloud email account is using my account for Itunes etc., not the icloud email address, how can I reset the "from" address?

ok thanks, so if I do nothing straight away, they won't free the address up and give it to someone else, correct?

Can I have Mail format the "From" field based on my Address book entries?

I have most of my contacts in my address book, but Mail still displays the "From" field in the message list pane with the normal email address header.
Here's an example:
User A emails me a message from this address:
"User A" <[email protected]>
In my Address Book, I have User A's info as this:
First Name: Bob
Last Name: Marley
Email Address: [email protected]
In Mail, though, the "From" field in the message list view still says ...
User A
... when I want it to say ...
Bob Marley
Does that make sense? How can I do this?

All you need is a plug adaptor, if required. Apple sells an adapter kit:

From field in shared mailbox displays LegacyexchangeDN instead of person's email address.

We have a situation where a group of users who utilize a shared mailbox are getting a weird issue from time to time. They will take mail from their own mailbox and drag it to the shared mailbox. Sometimes the email show up fine, other times the
from field shows the GUID of the person's mailbox rather than their email address after they move it. See attached pictures. Any idea what would cause this and how I would fix it? It appears this way in everyone's Outlook and OWA.

Hi,
DisplayName is an Active Directory property which represents the display name of a recipient in an appropriate format to display to the end-user. This is a Unicode property which may contain non-ASCII characters so that a user name may contain DBCS characters.
In your case, you need to create a registry entry on Outlook side.
For more information, here is a helpful thread for your reference. (Note: Though it is Exchange 2010, it also replies to Exchange 2013 about this issue.)

How to get my Name in the From Field instead of email address?

For an Exchange Activesync account, how do you get your friendly "Name" to show in the From: field rather than email address ([email protected])?
I seem to be able to do this fro IMAP/POP accounts but not Exchange Activesync.
All the discussions I've found about gmail and Activesync seem to be centered on getting your messages to show a different return email address than your exchange account. I'm not looking for this, just to show the Name.
Thanks

If you add a contact ("Contacts app>> "+">> enter info) with that email address, it will appear in mail with whatever name you set in the email address' contact.
