How do i change the sender / from address in mail? (MS Exchange)

I have set up an MS exchange account in Mail. In OSX Snow Leopard I could change the from address. This is necessary because my account username address is not the main address I use (I work in a company's sub division). So my from is not correct generally, and it's also annoying because my own address pops up when I do a reply all.
Any suggestions?

You can fix this problem by adding an entry into a file on your mac. You have to add an alias, but manually so by editing this file below:
I finally found a solution. You can edit this file where USERNAME = users acutal account on the mac:
Close Mail.
Go to:
/Users/USERNAME/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/accounts.plist
Under this:
            <key>EmailAddresses</key>
            <array>
                <string>[email protected]</string>
            </array>
Type:
            <key>EmailAliases</key>
            <array>
                <dict>
                    <key>alias</key>
                    <string>[email protected]</string>
                    <key>name</key>
                    <string>Name 1</string>
                </dict>
            </array>
Save version of file.
Open Mail.
I hope this helps - it seemed to work for me.

  • 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:

  • 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.

  • In AppStore.nl, how can I change the language from Dutch to English ?

    In AppStore.nl, how can I change the language from Dutch to English ?

    Hi ...
    Click the round flag icon bottom right corner of the App Store window to change the country.
    FYI ..
    "Although you can browse the iTunes Store in any country without being signed in, you can only purchase content from the iTunes Store for your own country. This is enforced via the billing address associated with your credit card or other payment method that you use with the iTunes Store, rather than your actual geographic location."
    From here >  The Complete Guide to Using the iTunes Store | iLounge Article
    Billing policy is the same for the iTunes and well as the Mac App Store.

  • Send apple email - how do I set the - send FROM account?

    found this nice script to auto create and send apple email...
    Q: how do I set the : send from account?
    tell application "Mail"
    set theMessage to make new outgoing message with properties {visible:true, subject:"My Subject", content:"My Body"}
    tell theMessage
    make new to recipient at end of to recipients with properties {name:"test", address:"[email protected]"}
    end tell
    send theMessage
    end tell
    nice info here:
    http://www.mactech.com/articles/mactech/Vol.21/21.09/ScriptingMail/index.html

    I've been using the following which may be more complicated than necessary but it does work:
    -- SCRIPT SEGMENT --
    tell application "Mail"
    activate
    set listOfSenders to {}
    set everyAccount to every account
    repeat with eachAccount in everyAccount
    set everyEmailAddress to email addresses of eachAccount
    if (everyEmailAddress is not equal to missing value) then
    repeat with eachEmailAddress in everyEmailAddress
    set listOfSenders to listOfSenders & {(full name of eachAccount & " <"Mail"
    set newMessage to make new outgoing message with properties {subject:theSubject, content:theBody & return & return}
    tell newMessage
    set visible to true
    set sender to theSender
    make new to recipient at end of to recipients with properties {name:theName, address:theAddress}
    set font to "Lucinda Sans"
    set size to 14
    end tell
    activate
    --send newMessage
    end tell
    -- END SCRIPT SEGMENT --
    I have commented the actual "send message" line so that I can read the message before clicking the send button as I often will add a comment.

    I do not know the log in details and no longer have that icloud email address !!

    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.

  • How do I change the default from CS6 to Photoshop CC when I open a photo from Bridge CC?

    How do I change the default from CS6 to Photoshop CC when I open a photo from Bridge CC?

    Thank you. That works when I double click a RAW image, (opens in ACR then when I open from there it goes to CC)  but when I double click a jpg it goes straight to CS6. I'm hoping there is a way to change the default, but haven't found yet. I don't want to remove CS6.

    I changed the card and i want to know how make to change the data from itunes. I tried and doesn't work. Please, Help Me!

    No. That's not what I said. You can get an out of warranty replacement, which will be exactly the same model, color, and will be locked in exactly the same way the original is. If you want an iPhone 5, get the 4S replaced, sell it, and use the money to put toward a new phone.
