Email always from default account no matter which account I select

First let me say that I have an iPhone 4 using version 4.3.5 (8L1) of the iOS.
My issue is that when I compose or reply to an email through Mail it always sends from my default email, in this case Gmail, no matter which account I select in the From: field. Even when I compose an email from the Inbox of a particular account it sends from the default account.
I first noticed this today, which it has never done before. My wife's iPhone works fine.
I've tried reseting the phone through iTunes then restoring from a backup, but it is still happening.
I really don't want to have to change my settings every time I reply or compose an email.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is very frustrating.
Thanks,

Sounds like something is corrupted, and if so then re-loading your backup won't solve the problem. That means restoring again, but this time without loading a backup (i.e. set it up as a new phone ... meaning you'll have to re-do all your settings, preferences, and account set-ups, as well as re-load all the media). Not fun, but sometimes that's the only way to "exorcise" such demons.

Transferring email addresses from one account to another

I'm not sure if this is a good place to post this but after spending a good bit of time on the phone with FiOS customer service and technical support I just feel like venting my frustrations and hope that maybe someone could give me a valid explanation of why this cannot be done.
To give a brief (hopefully) summary of what's going on...
My wife and I are currently in the process of moving from Florida to Maryland because of the current job market and economy situation. As always...the moving process has been a "blast". For at least a few months we will be "between" homes and will be staying with friends. Because of this we had to cancel our FiOS service (which I did last week and it will be shutting off sometime today). Since we've been very please with the actual service FiOS provides we have (or maybe I should say "had") every intention of signing back up with Verizon once we're in a new home in the Maryland area.
So here's where the trouble comes into play...I contacted Verizon to see if it would be possible to somehow transfer our existing Verizon.net email addresses from our account to my friend's account (the person I'm staying with). You would've thought I was asking for a year's worth fo free service. Initially I was told by customer service that this can't be done. They explained that an email address is like a phone number and two separate accounts cannot have the same email address. Thanks for the newsflash! I explained again that what I wanted to do was move my email addresses so they would now be associated with my friends account. This didn't seem like such a horrible request considering my friend pays for FiOS service and with that gets 9 available email addresses....and was only using 2 of them. She ultimately just told me it was something that couldn't be done. But she did inform me of the "Verizon Your Domain" service that would allow current FiOS subscribers to associate their Verizon.net email account with a new domain name that you create. It would cost $20 per year and would allow you to keep your Verizon.net email if you canceled FiOS service. This sounded like an ok option.
But still -- I was curious why I couldn't transfer email addresses. So I then contacted technical support. This time it was explained to me that an email address was like a social security #. It couldn't just be given to another person. Great analogies in use at Verizon....I give them that. I told the guy I was a fellow "techie" and asked him for a more detailed explanation. That's when it got good. That's what killed me. He spent all this time talking about ACL's and routing and how email addresses couldn't be moved because "you're talking about 2 million addresses". Long and short he was trying to say the Verizon email system was just too complex. Finally I told him that it had to be something that could be done....and his exact words were "well sure it can be done...but we're not going to do it if you're not paying for a service". Wow! Great response! I've been a paying customer of FiOS for about two years. I've had some form of service with Verizon for about 15 years (from phone service to mobile service with V-Wireless). I fully understand that I'm no longer paying for FiOS service. But my friend is. And he has 7 email accounts he's not using. So why couldn't they be moved? Because the system is too complex? Give me a break. Like this guy finally admitted...it boils down to money.
Finally I gave up. I told my wife that we'd just have to deal with switching to a new email address. Life will move on. She wanted to try the "Verizon Your Domain" option though. She started doing the process online...had some questions....and decided to call customer service. She got transferred around to three different people...the last of which told her "you need to call a different department" and then CLICK.
Great, great job Verizon. All I ask is if someone could give me some sort of response that makes sense. If you just don't want to offer the transfer option then tell me.
I expect to be in a new home within a month or two. And suddenly Comcast is looking very good.

Well, CS was right when they said that Verizon cannot transfer your email to another account. In order to do that they would have to overwrite the email of your friend ( I dont think your friend would apreciate that ). This is due to a limitation on the email system.
However, you may have another option. If you are going to be getting Verizon service again in the realitivly near future (4-8 weeks or so), Then after your acount is closed, contact tech support. If you get the right agent they will "enable" your email. That way you can continue to use it even though you dont have service any more. Now they cant do this for long but for temporary it can be done. Then once you get your service back, they can then move your existing email to your new account. (this can now be done as they will overwrite your new email with your old).
Now if your going to be without Verizon service for more than a couple months, you may be out of luck but this is one option
umm, oh bhoy!
In fact, a "repoint" of an email address CAN be completed onto another account AND it does not overwrite anything on the receiving account.    Each acount, whether its a FiOS account or a copper account, has an account number. The email address is assigned to the account number.    The email address can be "repointed" from one account to another, as an 'add-on' to the new account, then it can be 'repointed' back to another account later.    HOWEVER, the contract does say that you must have a valid account. AND, Verizon cannot (no company can) allow you to manipulate someone else's account.
as to the "after your acount is closed, contact tech support. If you get the right agent they will "enable" your email", well, the fact is that the account has to be provisioned to an address. So, though I have come accross accounts that seemed to still be "on" after the listed close date, it was not something that verizon's tier 1 tech support can effect (that's who you get on the phone when you call tech support) (note that 'sales' could not do this for you, either)   So good luck with that.
What happens is that Verizon will not allow anyone to take your email addresses for at least 6 months.
Before you cancelled you may have had an option to have a notice auto-replied to any email that gets sent to your email address, for a limited amount of time, like they can do with a telephone number ("this number has been changed to . . . . . ") that "this email address is temporarily suspended, or something. . . . I said MAY have had the opportunity. .. .   but if it was me, I would get to where you are going and make sure they have Verizon internet account already   and have them call verizon tech support (so they can verify their account info) with you standing there so that you can verify your old account info and immediately and plainly ask if you can have an email "repoint" done for you.

Email sent from wrong account

I have set up my 2 email accounts on new iPad. When I send from default account, recipient sees mail as from second account even when I've made that inactive.. How can I prevent this?

If you have set the mail account you wish to use to send emails, then there is a bug. You may try deleting both mail accounts and then logging in again. Otherwise deleting the email account you do not wish to send mail from will force emails to be sent from the other account

Look at it this way: there is no need to record that effect onto the audiofile. This is a great advantage of modern recording, and this is how most DAW's work by default. Just leave the plugin on when playing back.
Only for CPU management reasons it may be advantageous in certain situations to either freeze a track or bounce it in place (both techniques will render an audiofile that may include the effect). But in general it is a (very) good thing that it is possible to tweak any effect after recording, and have a clean, unprocessed recorded signal to work with. And if the effect was perfect at the time of recording, well, just leave the plugin(s) engaged.

Maill always send from default account when using multiple accounts

I have a gmail account as my default account. I also have a work imap account.
When sending an email from my work account, it initially fails to send. On making it retry, the message is sent.
The message ends up in the recipient's mailbox as having been sent from my default gmail address, and having no content.
Is anyone else experiencing this?

I should add that I have set the smtp server for my work email to only use my work smtp server, and not fall back to gmail.

Apple Mail: Email not sending from default account

Note: Default email send worked fine in Mavericks. The issues seems to be new in Yosemite.
I have 3 emails accounts: Exchange, Gmail, Yahoo. In that order. They are placed in that order in the Accounts section of Apple Mail. They are also placed in that order in the mailbox listing under Inbox in mail.
When creating a new email, the top account, Exchange, is rarely chosen as default. Either Gmail or Yahoo are chosen...and occasionally Exchange. I send 90% of my mail from the Exchange SMTP server; now forced to manually change the outbound Account within the mail message itself almost every time.
Again, this is a brand new issue in Yosemite where it doesn't appear to recognize the default account to send email from in Mail.
Anybody else seeing this?

Hi Will, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Tough to tell what you've tried, is this one you've tried...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.

Hi Daniel,
Edit the SMTP (Outgoing Server Settings) server information and assign the details of second email address through which you want to send email.

IPhone Only Sends Mail From Default Account After 1.1.1 Update

I just noticed that no matter which account I use to send an email in the iPhone mail app, the email is sent from my default account. I have Yahoo, Gmail, and .Mac accounts, and they all function properly (i.e, they can all send and receive, view folders, etc.) When I change the default account to any of these accounts, all of my mail is sent from that account--including replies and forwards to messages in a non-default account. I don't think this occurred before the 1.1.1 update, but it's possible I never noticed it until now.
As you can imagine, changing the default account each time I need to send an email from a different account is frustrating. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
wolf2004

I noticed the same issue today, it was not like that before. I tested it prior to the update. I have yet to find a way around this besides switching the default account.

Email sending from different account.

I have 2 email accounts on my iPad; 1 for work and 1 for personal use.
When I send an email from my work account the recipient sees that it has come from my personal account. This is a problem because I don't want to share my personal info and also I wait for a reply which has gone to a different account.
I set up a blind cc but can't remember ow I did this. I think that this is connected to the problem because when I manually remove the bcc before sending the email is received from my work account as I want it to.
I have my work account set up as the default account.
Help please!

Try to do the following: go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars
click on your private e-mail account > Account > SMTP > and make sure that SMTP server which is ON is the correct one and is the only one that it is ON for this account.
Then do the same with your work account.

Send from default account in Lion?

It used to be that you could designate one account to respond to all incoming email in Mail, but that seems to have changed in Lion. Now when I respond to an email it will respond from which ever account that I received the email from. I do some advnaced redirecting in my various email accounts because of low space limits on my universities server. So when I get an email to my .edu account it get immediately redirected to my mobileme account. I have both my .edu and .me account in the Mail app, but use the .edu account to send email and the .me account to receive it. Is there a way to make Mail behave as it used to in Snow Leopard?

I've already mentioned and tried the first option that you suggested,Thebestplacehere, but that only works on new messages going out, not on replies.
I have adjusted the account info for my MobileMe account to only list the .edu outgoing server. This does not change the actual account that is shown as the "From" address. I haven't seen a place that says shows to show reply messages for the MobileMe account. I'm not sure all of what I said made sense.
Still haven't found the work around to this. I did see something that said to "always" use a certain server, but that didn't fix my "problem" either.

HT3228 How can an email notication from my account appear on another mac?

I was sitting with a supplier, and as we were working an email notification from my email account appeared on her desktop.
We have set her up with an email address with our business, but she is a supplier, and totally unconnected - even on a different site.
I have confronted her, and asked if she is hacking into my company emails, and she denies any knowledge.
She has asked a technical adviser, who says 'it could be a technical glitch' but I am not sure.
I think she has set up my email account by guessing the formula we use for passwords.
Can anyone help? Have you experienced this? Can you back up the 'technical glitch' explanation?
(We use POP accounts on MacMail).

your mail provider or IT dept may be able to provide records of connections to the account, which you can check against your own access.
Assuming you mean that her Mail application showed an email addressed to you & no-one else - then it sounds as if you ought to change all passwords & ask whoever admins company email to confirm that it wasn't somehow sent to her account too, unlikely though that seems.

All mail being sent from default account!!!!

Hello. I have four (4) email accounts linked to my iPhone. Whenever I send a message from any account, it sends it from the default account. Is there a way to fix this?
I'll try to explain in better like this ...
- My default account is #1 of 4
- I want to send a message from account #2
- It sends find, but it sends it from account #1, not #2
- So, when someone replies to my message, it gets sent to account #1, not #2 like it should.
I have talked to a few of my friends that have iPhones and they said theirs didn't do that, but they weren't sure how to fix it. Can anyone please help me!
Thanks!

jvnatale,
How are you sending messages? If you are sending a website link or a picture, it will use your default email address. If you want to send a message from a particular email, you need to go into Mail and into the account you want to send from before tapping on the new message icon. That way the iPhone knows you want to send from that account.
Hope this helps,
Jennifer B.
