Have multiple email a/cs' but apple mail sending all gmail emails from same account

I have 3 gmail accounts and 2 pop3 a/cs' ( that are piggy backed by the isp to web based/imap email servers) and using Apple Mail.
Emails are correctly received into the correct email address inbox.
However, when I send an email and despite whichever email address I select in the ' From ' box on the Compose page, the emails are always sent from the same email address. This issue only affects the 3 gmail accounts, the other 2 are working ok.
In Mail Prefs I have checked that the box " send new messages from " is marked " account of selected mailbox ".
If I use gmail ' direct ' ( not via apple mail ) emails are sent from the correct account as I obviously have to sign into that particular account.
It's as if I have a default email account from which all emails are sent but the settings seem to be to the contrary.
Appreciative for any help and guidance.

Solved issue by removing the gmail accounts and then reinstating them but giving the name assigned to the server in the description field, the same as the account name ie Gmail followed by email account name ( Mail Prefs > Account Information > Edit SMTP Server List then enter in description field accordingly ).
Though you did'nt actually provide an answer you nevertheless caused me to think further for which I thank you.

Apple Mail moved all my email from my hotmail account to apple Mail

I have already stopped my new mail in hotmail to get deleated and sent to apple Mail.
I want to know if it's possible to sent the mail that was sent to apple Mail back to my hotmail account
Thanks

It is usual, but not absolutely necessary, for emails to be downloaded from server to TB mail account Inbox and then delete them off the server.
I personally, delete all but the last 30 days off the server, so that between my monthly backup and the emails on the server, I could retrieve most if not all mail in the event of a loss.
You could get the emails back on the server, but you may notice that all the dates seem to change to the date when you put them back on the server.

Each person needs to have their own separate Apple ID along with their own separate computer user account and iTunes Library.

I have multiple users & devices on my apple account. How do i set up icloud so we can have our own emails?

iCloud isn't designed for multiple users. Everyone involved should have their own separate iCloud account, which means they need a separate Apple ID to create it: and each should be using a separate user account on the Mac to sign into their iCloud account.

I have 3 email accounts in Mail on Macbook Pro. Mail is only being sent from 1 account.

I have 3 email accounts in Mail. Mail is only being sent from 1 account, even though I select one of the other accounts in the "from" field. In my sent box, the "From" field says the accout I selected, but all recipients say they receive it from a different account. I set my composing preferences "send new messages from" to the main account, but all my mail is still being sent from a different account. I cannot see that this is happening, only people receiving it can. I noticed it because when they reply, it goes to a different account than what I sent to them. Any suggestions with what I should do?

Thank you! Funny. I had just found that answer eleswhere: http://simonwheatley.co.uk/2013/02/apple-mail-sending-email-from-the-wrong-accou nt/

I work for a retailer who sends out e-receipts as pdf attachements. When the email arrives on any apple product, i see the email with the paperclip icon showing that there is an attachment but i cannot ever see or find the actual attachment. Any ideas?

i work for a retailer who sends out e-receipts as pdf attachements. When the email arrives on any apple product, i see the email with the paperclip icon showing that there is an attachment but i cannot ever see or find the actual attachment. Any ideas?

i have scrolled left, right, up and down on iphone4, iphone5 and ipad and the attachment simply does not exist. It has to be something with the apple mail client setup because for any mail client, if they go to the webemail thru safari, the attachment is there and it can be viewed without issue.
I know there are plenty of people out there with this issue with the mail clients set up that you access thru the email icon on the iphone and ipad but i cannot find anyone with a resolution. I cannot find any settings in the mail client setup that has anything to do with attachments or for what attachments can or cannot be read or seen.
Hopefully someone out there has figured something out because this is an odd one.

New iMac: Thunderbird works OK but Apple Mail cannot receive

Just bought iMac in July 2010. Thunderbird email sends/receives fine, but Apple Mail v4.3 does not receive emails. Apple mail will send, which is received by Thunderbird. Incoming Mail Server settings good, and default mail reader is Apple Mail. Help please!

Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
Does Mail's "connection doctor" (Window -> Connection Doctor) show you anything useful? Have you checked Mails preferences in Accounts panel, Advanced tab, to verify that things like port, SSL, and authentication are set correctly?

Welcome to the Apple community.
You can add an alias but not a second email address to your iCloud account. You can however add a second iCloud account to your iOS device (which will come with its own email address) at settings> mail, contacts calendars.

I just got an iphone recently and I started my apple id using my gmail email address. I decided to change email from gmail to icloud so I setup an icloud email account and now I have two apple id accounts. All my primary information is in the gmail apple id account and i just want to merge the two together. I've tried changing the apple id on the main account to the icloud email, but it says it already exists. How can I merge these two accounts without deleting one or the other?
Thanks

You can't merge iCloud accounts.
You could move all your calendars contacts etc over from the account you don't want to the one you do, it's not simple but about all I can suggest.

How can I use apple mail (linked to gmail) and get it to only do autofill on the contacts that I have in apple address book?

How can I use apple mail (linked to gmail) and get it to only do autofill on the contacts that I have in apple address book? Everytime I write an email on the Apple mail app (as well as in Gmail) it recommends a bunch of emails that are not my contacts. I want it to just autofill for the contacts that I have in my address book. Is this possible? Thank you. I have an Imac Intel version and an Iphone 5 phone.
