Default 'from' email address

Hi,
I use (and prefer) my +dot mac+ email address over the later +dot me+ one. My default email address from my computers when using Apple Mail app or Mobile Me via a web browser is set to my +dot mac+ address.
But from my iPhone, the default +sent from+ email address is the +dot me+ version. Friends and family are asking me which is my 'real' one - and I am concerned that spam filters etc. that are set to allow my +dot mac+ address will block emails sent from my iPhone.
Thus I want my iPhone mail to be seen as sent from my +dot mac+ address. But I can't find any way of altering the iPhone's settings.
Can anyone help please.
Thank you in advance

That's done it - thank you
I was nervous about deleting my account from my iPhone, but following your advice, I did so and re-activated as you described.
It re-synched without problem and now shows my preferred email address to recipients.
Many thanks

Default "from" email address in Mail?

How do you set which of your email addresses is the default for a new message? Mine seems to be unpredictable, and I end up sending emails from the wrong address sometimes.
Thanks

How do I set a default From email address when I write or reply to an email

I have more than one email address. I am using Windows 7. When I write an email or reply to one, Thunderbird always seem to use the same address even if is not the address that the sender of an email used. There must some setting that made this address a default. I would like to change the default. I know I can manually select the address I want, but like to have a different one for the default than the one Thunderbird is selecting.

I understand that you want each of several email accounts to act independently, such that mail for account 1 is sent and received only on that account, then account 2 likewise, etc.
For each email account, left click on the account name and then select 'View settings for this account'.
On the 'Account Settings' page, look at the 'Reply-to-Address' (should be blank) and also select the 'Manage Identities' box, which shows the default name and email address. If the default is not for that account, you can add or edit the entries and set the default.
Back on the 'Account Settings' page, select 'Outgoing Server (SMTP)' and check the user name/account there. It should be for the same account.
For each account, the other accounts should not be mentioned in any of the places identified above.

How to set default "from" email in Launchpad

Where do you set up the default from email address in BI Launchpad so that when scheduling reports so that this does not have to be filled in everytime? Additionally, we would want this to be read-only so that it cannot be changed.
We are using Crystal Server 2011:

Log in to the CMC and go to Servers. Go the the Destination properties of each "Job Server". Select the "Email" destination and you can set the default "From" address there that should apply to all schedules.

Form email. wrong "from" email address

My client website is publish in BC now (webbasic+). www.residences-joncas.com . When he receive contact form from a client the "from" email he receive is: "[mailto:sergewalsh=[email protected]] De la part de Serge Walsh". It is my email address ([email protected]). Why the email is not coming with the email address from the person who file up the form? Is this because the form was made in Muse instead of in BC?

Hello,
There is a default "From" email address in Business Catalyst, which is what shows in the system emails that come through. Those emails are always sent from BC servers but the email address shows as the one that is added in the default "From" email address section in Business Catalyst. You can change it to something else from the admin console of your site, from the Site Manager -> System Emails -> Default From Email section. Check this screenshot: http://jingsite.businesscatalyst.com/jing/2013-10-03_2210.png
The email for the customer is included in the body of the email.
Hope this helps.
Cheers

Can I set a default Reply-From email address on my iPad/iPhone?

In Mail for the Mac, there is an option under the Compose settings to set a default Reply-From email address for all your emails, so that, regardless of which account any email came from, you will always reply by default from one specific address. Is there a way to set a default Reply-From address on the iPad/iPhone?

[EDIT: Sorry, mis-read question. Ignore me.]

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

Default outgoing email address is wrong, how do I change it ?

I've been using Thunderbird successfully for several years with 6 different email accounts - 1 gmail account, 2 yahoo accounts, and 3 accounts on another domain.
Recently I added a new gmail account for a project I'm working on.
Now, the default email address defaults to the new account, which is not what I want at all.
If I'm replying to or forwarding emails or writing new emails I want the address that I'm sending from to default to the mailbox that I'm currently using, replying from or forwarding from.
If that just isn't possible, I'd be happy if it defaulted to my general email address (the first one I had) but I certainly don't want Thunderbird to use the email address for the new account, which my project colleagues want only to be used in connection with the project.
How do I resolve this, please ?

There is an assumption thast if you are viewing emails in a particular account and then select Write, that you are wanting to Write an email to do with the account you are viewing, so....
If you are viewing emails in account A and then click on Write, the FROM email address will be Account A,
If you are viewing emails in account B and then click on Write, the FROM email address will be Account B,
you can set any account as default.
This will be the one positioned at the top.
* Tools > Account Settings
* Select the account name
* click on 'Account Actions'
* click on 'Set as default'
* click on OK
If you want to reorganise more than just setting the default account.
Try this addon:

Default outgoing email address

I have several email addresses and would like to link a specific address for individual contacts. Is there a way to set a default outgoing email address for specific contacts?

Thank you SO MUCH for this information. I've read so many other places that the default email address is the address listed at the top of the Preferences>Accounts list, and yet, whenever I send an email, it gets sent from whichever account is highlighted. I've never been able to figure out the discrepancy. I'm so glad I looked deeper and found this post. Thank you!

Setting default outgoing email address

I have multiple email addresses that I use in Mail, on my MacBook. Most of them are gmail accounts. Two are godaddy accounts, with personal domain names. I want to have a "main" one (a gmail account) that all my mail goes out from. If I'm in the "wrong mailbox," it goes out from that mailbox, hence getting missed by people, who have rules set up to look for email from my main email address.
So, I followed the instructions, in the help setting, which said:
How to change the default account and "From" address
Mac OS X 10.0 through 10.1.5
The default account when composing a new message in Mail is the one listed first in the Description column of Mail Preferences. To change this default, you only need to change the order of the names.
Follow these steps:
1. Choose Mail > Preferences.
2. Click Accounts.
3. Drag account names in the Description column to change their order. The account that is listed first is the default account that is used whenever you open a new mail window.
Mac OS X 10.2 and later
The "From" address for a new message will generally be the same as the "To" address of the message that is currently selected. If no message is selected, then the "From" address associated with the currently selected mailbox will be used, if there is one. Otherwise, the default "From" address will be used as described above.
This is not so, so 10.6.3 Mac OS X. Does anyone know how to make my "main" address the default outgoing email address, whatever address box is highlighted?
Thanks in advance!!!!!

Hi,
Mail > Preferences > Composing > Send New Messages From. This will be your default address for all outgoing e-mails.

Changing default outgoing email address

So, my AppleID is an @me.com address. I created when I was still in college and put my birth year into the ID out of frustration that [email protected] had already been taken; for the purpose of this we'll call it [email protected]
I've since recognized the value of having an email address that doesn't broadcast one's age and created a more generic alias in the account, we'll call it [email protected]
Previously, on both my iPhone and my iPad, I was able to select "[email protected]" as the default outgoing email address in Mail, a much easier way to always send from that address without having to manually select in the FROM drop down menu. Now, in iOS 5 with iCloud, that doesn't seem to be the case. It always wants to use my main AppleID, "[email protected]" The only way to change it is to manually select in the drop down menu every single time I send an email.
I've looked through every iCloud and Mail setting I can possibly think of. Suggestions? Thanks!

Under Settings, Mail,Contacts,Calendars, for each individual mail account, what are your SMTP settings?
When you tap on an account, then tap on the Account Name on the next screen, then tap on SMTP, you will see all the SMTP accounts you have set up. If you want an account to only use a particular SMTP server when sending from that account or replying to messages received in that account, then you need to set that desired SMTP account as the primary server, and turn all other SMTP servers OFF.

How can I find out the mail server from email address?

Hi:
How can I find out the mail server from email address?
for example: If I know the email address is [email protected],
how to find the pop3 and smtp mail server?
THANK YOU

You can't tell by the email address since you can pretty much put whatever you want in there (especially if the SMTP server is not filtering anything).
The header may be able to tell you something. There is a Received header value which looks like it has the routing information although I am not sure if this is a complete trace or just the last hop the message took.

How can I fake my FROM email address to look like I'm sending it from work?

I want to not have to log into my work webmail everyday and I want to just use MobileMe. I have all my work mail forwarded to MobileMe. The problem is that I don't want to ever have to log into work mail to send a message. How can I fake my from email address to look like I'm sending it from work?

You can't do that with MobileMe. MobileMe's mail servers will only accept senders from their own domains (@mac.com and @me.com). No other senders, not even from configured personal domains, will be accepted.
You will either have to use your companies SMTP server or, if not public available, your companies webmail.

Is it possible to change the "From Email Address in workflow"

I have a created a task list and set a workflow for the list.
Workflow Actions:
1. Send a Email to the "Assigned To" user whenever a task is created.
2. If the Task is due, send an reminder Email and even if its not completed, send a Email to the higher Management.
Workflow is working fine.
Issue:
The Email from address is the Email Address that has been entered in the SharePoint central admin Outgoing Email address.
I would need the from address to be of whomever has assigned the task to the particular person.
Let me know if its possible?

Hi Alex,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to change the From email address in workflows.
The from address is set in the outgoing e-mail settings in Central Administration.
There is no OOB way to change it in workflows.
As a workaround, I suggest you develop your own workflow activity to do it.
Or, there is a CodePlex solution, it contains a Send Email Extended action which allows you to specify the sender, you can take a look at:
