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.

Default outgoing email address for multiple emails

How do I set up one of my many email addresses on my I-phone to be the default outgoing email for all of them?

If you have set up one of your email accounts to be the default, all emails sent from outside of the email app will be sent from that email address. The default email account will be used if a new email is created in the All Inbox. If you reply to an email or initiate an email from within a given email account, I guess it assumed that you want it to go out as that email address.

Set Default Outgoing Email address

I have the curve 8330, and two email addresses. One is for my work, the other my private. I'd like to use my private email as the default for all outgoing messages. I have used the following "Advanced options -> default service -> change CMIME filed -> press menue -> click save.
I have my personal email set as default on both the 'change' options, however, when I send out a message my work email is showing up as the 'from' address. How can I change this option without permanently deleting my work email. I want to be able to read my work email, however, that is the extent of it on my personal BB.
Thanks,
Solved!

HI and Welcome to the Forums!
I don't know if this is a feature on your BB/OS, but run some tests to see. What happens on mine is the first time I initiate a new email to a contact in my contact list, it will indeed default to my work address -- and I must override it to whichever of my personal addresses I might want. But, the second time I send to that contact, it remembers the address I used as "from" the last time...and uses that as the default this next time. I've actually come to very much like this feature as I don't have to, in subsequent email sessions, remember to change it...just the first time.
Cheers!

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.

Sharepoint Outgoing Email Address

I am looking to configure the outgoing Sharepoint (2010) Email address with the logged in users email address instead of the default. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks. LK

Not with the out of the box functionality. So for things like Alerts, you'll be stuck with the farm or Web Application outgoing email address.

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

Changing outgoing email address from iphone

I currently have my MobileMe account set up on my iphone, and it is using my MobileMe ID as my email address <Edited by Host>. However I would like to set it up with my alias<Edited by Host>. Is there a way to change this setting on the phone? I know I can change the outgoing email address from mail on my computer, but I don't see that function on my iphone.
Thanks

You can set up MobileMe to use any email address as a 'push' email on the iPhone. The first thing you need to do is set your non-MobileMe (.Mac) email address for auto-forward to your MobileMe (.Mac) account.
When you create the email account, make sure you set it up as Other (not as a .Mac or MobileMe account.) Then select IMAP as the type of account. Enter the name and auto-forwarded email address. (This is the email address that will show as the "From" email, even though you're using your MobileMe account.)
For your mail server settings, use your MobileMe settings:
* Incoming settings:
o Host Name: mail.mac.com
o User Name: MobileMe user name
o Password: MobileMe password
* Outgoing Settings:
o Host Name: smtp.mac.com
o User Name: MobileMe user name
o Password: MobileMe password
* Advanced:
o Use SSL - On
o Authentication - Password
o Server Port - 587
Now you're able to receive 'push' email from your non-MobileMe account, and reply without using the @me.com address. (You can use those same settings in the Mail App as well.)

Thunderbird changes outgoing email address

Composing a new email:
In the "To" field I start to type an address. Thunderbird provides a drop-down of matches from my address book. I select one of the addresses. Thunderbird puts it into the "To" field. At this point, my cursor is still in the "To" field. Then I hit Enter to move to the next field, & Thunderbird changes the email address to a different address (a different address from my address book).
If I add a space after the email address before pressing Enter, Thunderbird leaves the email address as is.
Behavior is kind of random - address is not replaced all the time. Also, for a while Thunderbird will make one change - like always changing address X to address Y, then it will switch to another change - always replacing address Z with address W.
The replacement address is always one that is in the address book.
Also, Thunderbird randomly colors some outgoing email addresses as red, even though they are in my address book.

hi jbh01
The easiest method is to use the contacts sidebar as described in option 2.
But contacts do need to be in an Address Book.
However, if your issue is to reveal more TO fields, then you can drag the divider downwards. See image below.
If you write using Plain Text , there will be no Formatting Bar. If you use HTML formatting, then there will be a Formatting Bar.
In the image below there is a Formatting Bar between 'Subject' and the composing area. In the image below, I've indicated this with a red line.
Use mouse and hover over this line, the mouse should chnage to a double headed arrow. Left click and hold down to grab the line. Then move mouse downwards to move the line. It will reveal more TO fields.

Default outgoing email account

How do I change the default outgoing email?
Just noticed that the email to response my emails is not the one I wanted to be, my iPad receives mail from 6 different accounts
Somebody can tell me how can I change it?

@Matthew: By "Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars" I presume you meant "System Preferences>Mail, Contacts, Calendars".
There *is* a list of my mail accounts there, but I'm seeing no option to "select the DEFAULT account for new messages".
Am I missing something?
[ Mountain Lion 10.8 ]
UPDATE:
Here's what I found on CNET (and worked):
Mail.app>Preferences>Composing>
Then there is option to choose "Send new messages from"
[NB: The Mac term is not "Settings"; it's "Prefernces" [ Command-. ]

Too many outgoing email addresses.

What do I do when I have too many outgoing email addresses and cannot get to the bottom to edit or close the message?

Hello mktapplesupport,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If you would like to remove an email account from the Mail application, please follow the instructions below:
Removing an email account
You may want to remove an email account from Mail, for example if you no longer use the account.
Important: Removing an account will permanently delete its mailboxes, messages, notes, and to do items. If you want to keep those, be sure to copy them to an On My Mac mailbox before deleting the account.
Exchange and IMAP accounts store their mailboxes and messages on the server; deleting these account types in Mail will not permanently delete messages from the server. However, if you are not completely certain that your account is one of those types, be sure to copy the mailboxes and messages you want to keep into an On My Mac mailbox, or save individual messages manually by selecting them and choosing Save As from the File menu.
To remove an email account in Mail:
Open Mail (click it on the Dock or open it from the Applications folder).
From the Mail menu, choose Preferences..., or press Command-, (the Command and comma keys).
Click the "Accounts" icon.
Select the account you wish to remove.
Click the "-" (minus) icon. You will be alerted that "The account's setup information, mailboxes, messages, notes, and to do's will be deleted permanently from your computer."
If you are sure you want to remove the account and email messages from your computer, click "Remove" to complete this process.

Take care,
