Deleted an email account but keeps sending mail from it

Hi,
I have a problem, I just deleted all my e-mail accounts and created a new one but when i reply some of the emails keep being sent from the old account. I looked everywhere to find some setting linked to that old account but i can't find it. For example:
i had : [email protected] and now i have [email protected] and xxxx@(microsoft exchange adress) . com
and when i reply from the second one sometimes it's being sent from [email protected] and this adress isn't in my accounts anymore.
Thanks.

Hi,
Two places... Mail Preferences>Composing>Sending>Send new Mail from.
Mail Preferences>Accounts>Account Information>Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): dropdown>Edit Server List, select the one you want & click Remove Server.

How do I delete an email account, but keep the email?

I have an email account from ISP that I no longer use. I want to delete the account, but I don't want to lose the email. How do I delete the account and save all of the email?
Can I create a folder and move all of the email from the account I want to delete to the folder? From what I've read so far the email would still be deleted from that folder.
This seems like it would be a common occurrence with a lot of people, so I'm surprised that there is not an solution from Apple. Apple indicates that if an email account is deleted you will lose all of the mail. There should be an option when you delete the account that asks "Do you what to keep all of the email from this account? Yes/No". If yes then the system automatically saves email to an archive folder or something similar.
Hopefully there is an easy workaround solution.

Create a new "On My Mac" mailbox and move the messages to it. Then delete the account.

Deleting a Mail Account But Keeping the Mail From That Account

I want to delete a Mail Account. But, I want to keep all of the email that was associated with that account. If I move the email to another folder within Mail, will that do the trick?

Stephen Levin wrote:
OK, I'm totally confused.
Here is what I normally do:
Check my email (all POP accounts).
It comes into my inbox.
As I deal with a message, I move it from my Inbox to the appropriate folder On My Mac.
That way I end up with just a few emails in my Inbox at any time.
The way I move my messages is I select them and I drag them to the appropriate folder On My Mac.
I know this deletes them from the Inbox and adds them to the folder I am moving them to.
that's moving. when you copy, the original remains in the inbox and a copy is added to the destination folder.
But, I'm pretty sure that when I do so, the Activity Window says I am copying them.
I have several email accounts that people email me at. When I file messages away, they are all mixed up in the folders On My Mac. I have no idea which ones came from which Accounts.
Given all of the above info, if I delete one of my Accounts, will Mail delete some of the emails I have filed away in the folders On My Mac? I think the answer is No, but would like to confirm.
No, once you've moved an email to a local mailbox in "on my mac" it's completely separated from its original email account. if you delete an account it will have no effect on those messages.
I think that the only mail that Mail will delete is the email in the Inbox, Trash, Outbox, and Sent Mail for that Account, but am looking for confirmation.
that's correct.
If that is the case, I don't care about the Trash, I'll make sure the Outbox is empty, and I'll move all of the messages for that Account out of the Inbox and Sent Mail before I delete the Account.
What do you think, will that work?
yes. sorry for confusing you before. This should work just fine.
My suggestion was simply that you copy messages instead of moving them as you've been doing. once the copy is successful you can delete the originals or just delete the account and the originals with it. you don't have to do it but that's a safer operation then moving them directly when you have to do it with a lot of messages at once. That's all. I've seen posts by people who were trying to move large numbers of emails between mailboxes and had Mail choke on the operation. that can result in a loss of emails.
If not, how can I hide the Account I'm no longer planning on using. Right now Mail keeps trying to check it every time I check my Mail and I get that broken icon next to the folders.
In case the OS matters, I'm running the latest version of 10.5 on a Power PC.
Thanks!

Removing email account, but keeping contacts and calendar

I have a work email account setup on my iPad. I have changed jobs and would like to delete the old work account. Is it possible to remove the old email account, but preserve the contacts and calendar information?
Thanks

Same happening here. Contacts and calendars sync between 2 Macs OK using iCloud. iCloud syncing with iOS devices worked well until Monday afternoon 12/19.
Since then (3 days) mail, contacts and calendars in my iCloud account do not sync to iPhone 4 and iPad. Photo Stream OK.
All software is up to date. Wiped iPhone and started fresh. Still syncing is broken.
OmniFocus, Evernote, Gmail, Dropbox sync OK. Safari works too.
Attempts to delete iCloud from iPhone stall at spinning pinwheel.
Likewise attempts to disable calendar and contacts services stall.
Seems this problem relates to iCloud security on iOS gadgets.
Still out if sync.

Disable account but keep e-mail visible

Hey guys & girls
I'm using the latest Mail app for my emails and until now I've been using POP3 account. I have loads of e-mails and also sent items, which i need to keep.
Just today however I did an IMAP account. From now on, i will use this one instead. However I need to jump back and worth to see e-mails i have recieved yesterday and so on. If I disable the account in prefs, it will remove it from the view. If I enable it, for some reasons, all the emails sent will be using this old account. I can not change this so it would use the new IMAP account.
Just to make sure, I have the same e-mail address, just changed POP3 to IMAP.
Is there a way ti disable the account (no more checkin mails and using it to send mails) but keep my inbox and sent items still visible?
thanks!

Is there a way ti disable the account (no more checkin mails and using it to send mails) but keep my inbox and sent items still visible?
Yes, but it does involve some work.
First, you need to move (not copy) the folder for that POP account to your Desktop. Then, in Mail's preferences, delete that POP account entirely. Now you can setup the account as IMAP (although I think you'll regret that in the long run) and let it retrieve whatever email is currently there.
Next, you need to go to File->Import Mailboxes… and navigate to and select the folder that contains the POP mailbox for the messages you want to import; for example: /Desktop/[email protected]/INBOX.mbox/Messages and click Choose to proceed with the process.
When that's done, you'll have an 'Imported' mailbox in Mail, after which you need to create your own new mailbox for those old messages from your Inbox and label it Old Inbox, or something to that effect. Then go to the Imported mailbox and Select All messages in there and drag them onto the icon for the new mailbox you just created for them; they should now all be moved into that mailbox.
Now you can go back and import the other mailboxes (Sent, Drafts, Deleted, etc if you like) one-at-a-time, stopping after each one to create a new mailbox for them and moving the messages into them before proceeding with the next one.
When you're done with that, you can delete the 'Imported' folder(s), then quit Mail and restart it to see if everything is still the way you want it to be. If so, then you can delete the POP account folder you moved to your Desktop previously.

Check with your email provider for their smtp settings when using a remote Internet connection.

Server rejects outgoing mail from PC's but will send mail from Macs

I am having a strange problem with outgoing mail all my mail clients are pointed to the server as smtp server. All mail from Macs are delivered without any problems but mail from PC's are universally rejected and I can't understand why. I did not have this problem with 10.4.11 and we do not authenticate. Here is the reject message:-
+Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients.+
+Subject: hello 16:34+
+Sent: 26/08/2010 16:34+
+The following recipient(s) cannot be reached:+
+'user@cp-lighting..*' on 26/08/2010 16:34+
+504 5.5.2 <PHILSPC>: Helo command rejected: need fully-qualified hostname+

This should help:
http://osx.topicdesk.com/content/view/145/84/
Will work without authentication as long as your network range has been entered into the postfix settings.
That said, you should require all your clients to authenticate to send through your server.
HTH,
Alex

Can I add a second device to my iTunes account but keep the downloads from each separate

I have family plan with provider and have added a phone for a family member. Is it possible to make purchases from the app store on the new device but charge my itunes account? If so, would those downloads be shared between devices or could they be kept seperate? I do not want my purchases to appear on the new device or vice versa.
Thanks

You can change the name of the new iPad to something else by connecting it to iTunes and selecting the name. When the name highlights you can change it.

Why can I receive but not send mail from my itouch?

HI,
Try looking in the contacts app or where you typed the email adress at the top to see if it really is the right email.

How to delete an email account from mail

I just purchased a macbook and was setting it up for the first time. I clicked on the mail icon (postage stamp) and added an email but have decided I do not want to use the mail option right now. How do i delete the email account and set the mail program back to its original settings.

Open up Mail, hit Command, and the Comma, and then go to accounts, select your account you want to delete and hit the minus symbol!

Stop getting mail, but keep sending

I have an IMAP account that I want to stop getting mail from, but still send mail from. How can I do this?

Hello,
In addition to not checking for new mail automatically, take the account Offline -- Mailbox/Online Status/Take Offline/choose account.
Of course, you can also create New Mailboxes, and transfer the messages there, if you will never receive or send with this account. Btw, taking an account Offline, does not prevent sending with that address.

I can't send mail from iphone4 using outlook

I am able to receive mail, but cannot send mail from my iPhone4. I am using Outlook - please help!
Thanks!

Email does not sync to the phone via iTunes. Don't know where you got this idea. Email account info can be synced from a computer to the phone via iTunes, but that's it.
If the OP told us what happens when he tries to send mail, it might actually be helpful in troubleshooting. Without this information, we're just shooting in the dark.
That said, I'm willing to bet the SMTP server settings are incorrect.

Sending mail from an IPad

I can receive but not send mail from my IPad?

If you are getting the "server rejected ..." message try this.
Try going into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > select the account > account name , tap on SMTP (under the 'Outgoing Mail Server' heading) and then tap on your Primary Server and try entering your email account and password and see if you can then send emails. Even if the information is listed as optional, enter the username and password anyway.

Not sure about yahoo, but for gmail, I done the following:
Set up using Exchange on iPhone, it'll keep prompting for password. On PC use captcha option, log in to gmail account from PC after completingg captcha option, enter password on iPhone.
See how that goes for gmail, let us know.
Hopefully someone will have fix for yahoo.
