How can I change the return email address in Mail?

Hi
Having just switched to a Mac and just got broadband I was quite pleased with myself managing to download an email into Mail....
However, we use a forwarding email address at bigfoot.com so that we can always quote the same email address whatever our ISP given address. How can I make this the default return email address on emails I send, rather than the [email protected] that we have been assigned?
Thanks in advance

Hi Stuart.
Open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal, type the following command (you can just copy it here, paste in a text editor, modify the email address, then copy the whole command again, and paste in Terminal), and press <Return>:
defaults write com.apple.mail UserHeaders '{"Reply-To" = "[email protected]";}'
The following article contains a more thorough description of this technique that takes into consideration the possibility that you might inadvertently overwrite other default headers by doing that:

    i have updated my iphone 5s to iOS8 but it has my old icloud account, how can i change the icloud email address as i can not get passed this page??
    I do not know the log in details and no longer have that icloud email address !!
    please help :-(

    That's Activation Lock. You will need to remember the Apple ID and password you used to set up the phone.
    If you can't remember them, you can go to iforgot.apple.com to try to recover the information.
    If you are the original owner of the phone & have proof of purchase, you can try calling Apple to see if they can assist also.

  • Where does the "Submit Form" button get created and how can I change the associated email address?

    I've created a pdf form using Adobe Live Cycle ES 8.2 and it has been working fine.  Now I need to change the email address it gets sent to when the user clicks on the "Submit Form" button.
    How can I change this email address?
    Thank you in advance

    Yes, that is correct.
    I did not manually add this button, so I am assuming it was somehow automatically created.
    It worked great up until now that I need to change the "To:" email address.
    I've look through the XML code associated this this email address and changed it every where I could find it, but it still hasn't changed my results.  So, I have no idea how to change this and as stated above, if I create a new form it automatically sets it up to be sent to the wrong email address.  Not sure why or how to change it?
    Let me know if you need further info to help me out.
    Thanks again

  • I forgot my security question answers, but the email address they send help to is wrong.  How can I change the recovery email address?

    I forgot the answers to my security questions.  When I go to the link for help remembering my security questions it sends the email to an email address that is not mine.  And I don't know how to make it send to one of the two correct email addresses I have entered.  Any suggestions?

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed, filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

    You should be able to log into the account via the 'manage your apple id' button on http://appleid.apple.com and put a proper primary email address on the account ; or you can do it by logging into the account via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes.

  • HT5312 how can i change my rescue email address?

    I have forgotten my security questions for my apple id. i was wondering how can i change the rescue email address and change my security answers?

    Reset Security Questions
    Frequently asked questions about Apple ID
    Manage My Apple ID
    Or you can email iTunes Support at iTunes Store Support.
    If all else fails:
      1. Go to: Apple Express Lane;
      2. Under Product Categories choose iTunes;
      3. Then choose iTunes Store;
      4. Then choose Account Management;
      5. Now choose iTunes Store Security and answer the bullet questions, then click
          Continue;
      6. Sign in with your Apple ID and press Continue;
      7. Under Contact Options fill out the information and advise iTunes that you would
          like your security/challenge questions reset;
      8. Click Send/Continue.
    You should get a response within 24 hours by email.
    In the event you are unsuccessful then contact AppleCare - Contacting Apple for support and service.
    Another user had success doing the following:
    I got some help from an apple assistant on the phone. It is kind of round about way to get in.
    Here is what he said to do and it is working for me...
      a. on the device that is asking you for the security questions go to "settings", > "store" >
          tap the Apple ID and choose view"Apple ID" and sign in.
      b. Tap on payment information and add a credit/debit card of your preference then select
          "done", in the upper right corner
      c. sign out and back into iTunes on the device by going to "settings"> "store" > tap the
          Apple ID and choose "sign-out" > Tap "sign -in" > "use existing Apple ID" and you
          should be asked to verify your security code for the credit /debit card and NOT the
          security questions.
      d. At this time you can remove the card by going back in to edit the payment info and
          selecting "none" as the card type then saving the changes by selecting "done". You
          should now be able to use your iTunes store credit without answering the security
          questions.
    It's working for me ...I just have to put in my 3 digit security pin from the credit card I am using.
    Good Luck friends!

  • How can i change my icloud email address? i mis typed my name and wanted to change my icloud email address??, how can i change my icloud email address? i mis typed my name and wanted to change my icloud email address??

    hello guys ...i need any help or suggestions, how can i change my icloud email address?? i typed a w rong name by mistake?? can i change it and retype the correct one? thanks ...your suggestio is higly appreciated.

    That's definitely not supposed to happen.  You shouldn't have someone else's iCloud email linked to your ID.
    You'll have to get iCloud support to sort this one out.  The only way to contact them is to start here: http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/.  You'll have to provide your iPhone serial number.  Unless it's within the 90 day free support window, or you purchased AppleCare, there will be a charge.  I suppose you can plead your case when they answer that you shouldn't be charged as you didn't set up this address and it shouldn't have happened with your ID.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
    If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

  • TS2972 How can I change my HomeSharing email address info on my Apple TV?

    How can I change my HomeSharing email address info on my Apple TV? I updated to a new email address through iTunes but now Apple TV won't recognize it and won't connect. Please help! Thanks.

    This is the first time I have ever replied to a question on here but I actually know this because I just figured it out for myself.
    On the apple tv go to settings>computers
    Then turn off home sharing.
    Now go back to the main menu and open computers.
    When you do it will give the option to use the previous home sharing settings or to use a new apple id.

    Go to Settings>Store>Apple ID, tap the ID shown, sign out, sign back in with the new ID.  However, app updates for your apps purchased with your older ID will always ask for the password for this ID.  (Apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them.)
