How do I change the photo which is part of my Apple mail ID?

I have just recently become more familiar with my two email addies attached to my Mac stuff. I have been using my email addy @iCloud.com and @me.com and keep seeing that my email has a photo added to it which I want to change. Originally I added a photo (somehow...was really not knowing what I was doing I guess) and am definitely not able to figure out how I did that. So now when I text or email using the Apple stuff, people see the photo I added but it is one that I think I want to change. I have been trolling around trying to find where this photo might be located but so far no luck. Is anyone able to help me with this? I took a grab of the window with the photo showing so it could explain for me what I am asking about. It is the photo of the girl you can see there that is attached to my Apple stuff and I am thinking I want to change it since that is not me...:-)
Thanks, I am sure this is not a big deal.
I just don't seem to know where to find that setting that can edit or change that photo choice.
Feeling kind of dumb.

It is very interesting that there are so many different ways to do some things on Mac and not much of it is out where it is easy to find out about...but sometimes just "fiddling" seems to work well...
The user image and the contact image are two different things. You can get to your Me card from the Users & Groups, but you can have a different image on your account image and on your Contact card.
Again, neither of which are sent with your emails, unless you attach your contact card.
but I went to System and on in and then double clicked on my name there as the user, that brought up an address book    
Where exactly did you double-click on your name? I wasn't aware of this so I was trying to duplicate it. I can't get my Contact card in any way except for clicking on the Open... button on my account info in Users & Groups. I can't find a way to double-click a name and have it open Contacts.

  • How do I change the way multiple mailboxes are displayed in Apple Mail sidebar?

    I have set up Apple mail with seperate personal and work mailboxes. I would like to be able to view and work with them separately, so I click on, say, my personal account and then get a submenu of inbox, sent, trash etc just for that account. The current view I have seems to be the opposite, i.e. I chose 'sent' and THEN have to select the account. Any ideas?

    Thanks very much for your reply sberman. It wasn't quite what I was after. What I would (ideally) like is to click on the "personal mailbox" triangle and for the inbox/sent/drafts etc for only that mailbox to appear.
    To try and put it another way: at the moment I have to click on 'inbox' then find the mailbox I am interested in, e.g. 'personal', whereas, ideally I would click on 'personal' then have an option to click on 'inbox' (or 'sent' or 'drafts' etc) as a submenu of that.
    Do you know if this possible?

  • How can I change the display of Inbox in my iPad's mail app- so that it takes up the full screen?

    How can I change the display of Inbox in my iPad's mail app- so that it takes up the whole screen, as opposed to just about one third; the other two thirds display the full text of the selected email?

    You can't change the display in the Mail app, if you are holding the iPad in landscape orientation then the left-hand third will be for navigation, and the right-hand two-thirds will be an email. If you hold the iPad in portrait orientation then the navigation section becomes a drop-down section.

    How can I change the default text color (black to blue) in Mail on out going email with Mountain Lion

    There really aren't default outgoing font settings. They are only there for viewing. A workaround I have seen mentioned is to start you signature with the font style you want to use. When you start your message, click in that first part of your signature.
    Something like
    defaults
    Signature

  • How do I change the front end (letters) of my Cloud e mail address?

    How do I change the front end (letters) of my iCloud e mail address?

    You can't change an iCloud email address without creating a new account.  You can, however, create an @icloud email alias address that will receive email in your current iCloud inbox.  This article explains how: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622.  If you create an alias address, it can't later be used to create a new iCloud account, nor can it be moved to another account or reactivated should you ever delete it.

  • How do I change the photo in my email

    I would like to change the photo that accompanies my emailings. I can;t recall how I assigned that picture. Please help. It looks like my Driver's licence.
    Thank you.

    Go to your address book and edit your contact. Double click on your photo and change it to what you want. Or, go through system prefs in Users and Accounts and edit your profile picture there.

  • How do I change the photo of myself that is being placed on my outgoing emails?

    I just realized that Safari is attaching a test photo of me to each of my outgoing email, mostly job applications. I'm sitting there with morning hair, a t-shirt and 5 oclock shadow. I searched everywhere looking for a way to either change or remove the image but to no avail. Can someone help me with this problem... Budman65

    dominic is correct in saying, "The photo image in the mail composing window will not be sent along with the message." The only way anyone recieving your mail would have that picture is if they had that picture of you in their Contacts, which is highly unlikely.
    But if you send a test to yourself, you will see it. The test must be sent to someone else.

  • How can I acces the photos which I saved to iCloud?

  • How can I change the name of devices associated with my Apple ID in iTunes?

    We have 3 iPads and 4 iPhones in our family.  All of the iPads show up on the list of devices associated with my Apple ID as simply "iPad".  All of the iPhones show up simply as "iPhone", even though each device has a distinct name on the device itself (ie. Mark's iPhone).  How can I get the distinct name to show up on the list of devices so I can keep the list updated as we add or remove devices from our collection?

    Not it it's an @icloud.com, @me.com or @mac.com address.  In that case your choices are to either create an email alias within the existing account, which delivers email to your existing iCloud inbox (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a490a), or create a new iCoud account.  Note: alias addresses are permanently tied to the account that you create them in; they cannot be used to create a new iCloud account or be moved to a different account in the future.

  • How do I change the address used in "Reply to" permanently in Mail?

    Hi there,
    I use OS X in German so I am not sure exactly what terms are used in the English version and I hope I translate this correctly.
    I have the following issue:
    I use differnet amail addresses for business purposes but I want to be able to use all iCloud advantages and work on my emails to keep all 4 devices I am using in sync. Therefor I reduced my old business domains to forwarding emails to one iCloud account. The problem is that I still want the person I write to see the email address from my domain as the "reply to" address. What I did was to add more accounts in Mail for outgoing emails, while all answers are redirected to my icloud account. This worked pretty well but it has a downside. My outgoing mail is only available on the device I sent it from. Sometimes I do have to look what I have written to a person and that can be a pain because I would have to remember if I sent it from the iPhone, iPad, Air or iMac.
    The only real sollution I can think of is to only use the iCloud address to sent emails and to change the "reply to" while I write. This of course is quite annoying to do manually for every email if you write many emails every day.
    I have used diffrent email programs in the past and most of them had the possibility to permanently change the "reply to" for outgoing mail. Is there any way in Mail to do so? If not is there a mail client for OS X and iOS that can do so?
    Thank you!

    I also did a similar thing and just found out this no longer works in Mavericks.  This completely destroys my workflow and I am not in a panic to find out how to remedy it.
    Basically, I have a "catch all" single incoming emailbox for my domain and then send messages with various "reply to" addresses depending on the context.

    For outgoing email you the Fonts and Colors buttons found in the New Message pane (note that settings you make in Mail > Preferences do not affect outgoing messages).
