How Do I Change my default Address in Mail?

Hello Everyone,
I had to change my Hotmail e-mail address, and I can't believe the programs I've had with that!
Anyway, my Apple-Safari-Mail account e-mail address is the same one which I had to change.
Naturally, when Mail pops up, My old address shows, and I forgot my password.
Needless to say, My Mail does not work.
I added another new Hotmail address, but when I do Safari>>File>Share>>E-Mail This Page  nothing happens!
By nothing happens, I mean that my old address shows, when I click send, the window disappears, there is no sound as when a piece of mail is sent, and there is no record of the latest piece of mail being sent.
To whomever answers this question, would you please use simpke explanations and screen capture images in a step-by-step set of instructions.
Thanks,
Stacey Bindman

So - 43 months - yes, FORTY-THREE MONTHS,  and this still has no answer!
We're all on Yosemite now, and still Apple Mail invokes Safari whenever you try to search on content. Safari's preferences are set to Firefox, Firefox's preferences are (of course) set to Firefox. And there is no setting in Mail to specify a preference.
Come on Apple - we thought you were way too cool to use Microsoft's dirty 'browser monopoly' tricks! Please, please let us have access to a proper browser. Please? Pretty please?
Or do I have to trash Mail and switch to Thunderbird?

    I do not know of a way to change the default but after you click the star beside the address to add it to the address book, click the star a second time to open the edit dialog box. There is a drop down list of your address books to make the change there.

  • How do you change the default email client (Mail) to Outlook when sharing?

    In iPhoto I used Outlook as the default email to forward photos to friends.  How do you change it from Mail in Photos to Outlook?

    I am having the same problem.
    Just updated to OS X 10.10.3.
    The new Photos app will not link to Microsoft Outlook.
    Never had this problem with previous versions of iPhoto.
    I have a thread going on this topic:
    The new "Photos" will not link to Outlook email.
    Apple needs to update Photos 1.0.

  • How do I change the default location for mail files?

    I want to move my mail folders from /Library/Mail and /Library/Mail Downloads folders to a different drive. How can I do this? I know how to move them - I want to know how I make mail aware of where I have put them). I have an encrypted SSD I want to use.
    I know I can encrypt the main drive but I don't want to do this.

    Changing the default downloads folder is helpful. Solves part of the problem. I have PGP installed and it decrypts the emails as they come in and place them in my inbox as unencrypted so the emails themselves need to remain encrypted on the disk. I tried using alias's but couldn't get it to work.
    I would just encrypt the whole disk but I am worried that I get other problems. I have had 8 Macbook Pro laptops in about 6 years and in that time only one has lasted 12 months plus without a replacement or repair. I don't think much of apples reliability or support for that matter, so rely heavily on disk clones to make sure I can keep working. The hardware is so rubbish I now keep a spare macbook for when my main one needs repaired. In fact I am running off my cloned disk just now because my brand new MBP 17" is in for repair for the 3rd time in 5 months. If the software wasn't so good I would swap back to that other operating system.

  • How/can I change the "from" address in Mail?

    I just upgraded to Mountain Lion, and have come across a problem.
    I use iCloud for my mail account, but I want to change the "from" address - so the return address on my messages is NOT icloud.
    I could do this in Lion.
    In the mail account settings, there's an option that says "alias" and it lists (me)@mac.com, (me)@me.com and (me)@icloud.com, and then "custom" is an option.
    Great!
    So I choose Custom, and then I can type in the "from" address that I want.
    However, when I go to save those changes, it tells me the SMTP server can't be left blank.
    What?
    It's not blank! I didn't touch it. The icloud server is still there!
    Furthermore, it's greyed out, so even if it WERE blank, it's not like I can edit it!
    Once this happens, the only fix is to delete the whole account from mail, and to disable mail in the icloud control panel, then re-add it.
    Has anyone figured out to work around this?

    Apple's outgoing mail server - just like 99.9% of all other SMTP servers, does not allow "relaying", meaning you use a domain in the 'sent from' address that is different from a domain hosted by the server. The simple reason is to make it harder for any spammer - not assuming you are one - to abuse the server. While bandwidth, server capacity and server load are some issues, the main fear for ISPs is to get blacklisted, and consequently mails from such server being refused by all others.
    It's a general rule, and while exceptions might be technically possible, it would be a manual act which at a certain rate would become unmanageable.
    If you want, read about the antonym, open mail relay servers, here.
    You see, it's actually good behavior and absolutely in your interest to prevent you from using a "non-in-house" 'sent from' address.

  • How can I change the default new e-mail notification

    I see that I can chage the text tone but the other settings for New Voicemail, New Mail, Calendar alerts seems a little to basic with just on or off.  Is there a way to enable the ability to change these settings' tones as well?

    No. You can't change these at this time.

  • HT204150 How do I change my default email on the "Me" contact from a Facebook email to my normal email address in the same contact?  Or at least change it for the autofill information?

    How do I change my default email on the "Me" contact from a Facebook email to my normal email address in the same contact?  Or at least change it for the autofill information?
    Perfernece for contact to change.  Do I just have to dis-associate my contact fromt the facebook account?  Is only the autofill changable?

    If you allow Facebook to access your contacts and you have the @facebook.com email alias turned on, it will add the @facebook.com email to your contact info, and because it has the fixed label of "email" it overrides every other email address.
    They didn't fix this in iOS 8.
    There are two ways to remove the @facebook.com email from your contact info:
    If you don't need your Facebook friends and their info updating your contacts, go into iOS Settings -> Facebook and turn off access to Contacts.
    If you don't use your @facebook.com email address (all it does it forward to the primary email address) you can go into the Facebook app, More -> Settings -> General -> Email -> and uncheck "Use your Facebook email". Removing it from Account Emails does not work, you have to turn it off. Once you do this, go to iOS Settings -> Facebook and turn Contacts off and on again to make it update your info. The @facebook.com address should be removed.

  • How can I change my default email address?

    I'm changing to a different ISP, but the default email address in TB is lodged with the old ISP. How can I change the default to one of my Gmail addresses?
    Thanks.

    From the menu bar select '''Tools-Account Settings'''
    Select the account to make the default.
    At the bottom of the account list is '''Account Actions-Set as Default'''
    No menu bar? Press the alt key.

  • TS1314 How do you change the default location address (in My Pictures) of the IPOD Photo Cache ?

    How do you change the default location address (in my pictures) of the IPOD Photo Cache ?

    You do no specifically. It sounds like you are syncing a folder to the iPod. In that case:
    From a Folder on Mac OS X, Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7
    The iPod Photo Cache will be located in the folder you selected to sync with. 
    Thus, you have to change the location of the folder you sync with.

  • How do I change the default apple id (email address) that is prompted on my iPhone? It prompts me with an id that I do not have and cannot access.

    How do I change the default apple id (email address) that is prompted on my iPhone? It prompts me with an id that I do not have and cannot access.

    When do you get prompted for this ID? If you are asked for an AppleID
    you do not know during Activation, contact the seller for assistance. Only
    the person who set the Activation Lock can remove it. If the seller refuses
    or does not know the requested AppleID and passcode, return the iPhone
    for a full refund as it is useless. There is no work around for Activation Lock,
    The person who set the lock needs to follow the actions in this link:
    Prepare your device to sell or give away
    You can check if Activation Lock is the problem here:
    https://www.icloud.com/activationlock/
    That link will only tell you if the iPhone is Activation Locked - it will not provide
    any information about the source of the lock, nor can you get any information
    from any source other than the original owner of the iPhone/person who set
    the lock.

    Accessing 'Library' is a little like 'killing a cat' in that there are many ways to achieve a result.
    It should be noted the expression is colloquial, I do not go around "killing' anything.
    Those who need frequent access to the Library may consider accessing the Library and having done so drag the Folder to Finder's Side Bar.
    In future they are then one click away from direct access to their Library.
    Apple seem to be insensitive to the results of their confusing naming, especially when access may be infrequent?
    Calling one of the Libraries e.g., LibraryX may be sufficient to indicate to most users that it is somewhere they should not be venturing?
    Setting a up a 'second' [in name at least] App Store frankly beggars belief.
    It may well be the policy to be working toward a device wide OS with everything ultimately available from iTunes? In the interim it would be useful to differentiate between Mac Applications and iOS Apps without folk having to add their own expression in the interests of clarity.
    Sorry to wander off topic but, IMO, this is another example of flawed thinking.
