How do I set a default From email address when I write or reply to an email

I have more than one email address. I am using Windows 7. When I write an email or reply to one, Thunderbird always seem to use the same address even if is not the address that the sender of an email used. There must some setting that made this address a default. I would like to change the default. I know I can manually select the address I want, but like to have a different one for the default than the one Thunderbird is selecting.

I understand that you want each of several email accounts to act independently, such that mail for account 1 is sent and received only on that account, then account 2 likewise, etc.
For each email account, left click on the account name and then select 'View settings for this account'.
On the 'Account Settings' page, look at the 'Reply-to-Address' (should be blank) and also select the 'Manage Identities' box, which shows the default name and email address. If the default is not for that account, you can add or edit the entries and set the default.
Back on the 'Account Settings' page, select 'Outgoing Server (SMTP)' and check the user name/account there. It should be for the same account.
For each account, the other accounts should not be mentioned in any of the places identified above.

  • How do I set the default from email for invititations

    I use my ical calendar for different business and personal calendars.
    Is there any way to set up the "from" email account to coinscide with the calendar the event is made for.
    i.e. If I make a personal event, the invite is sent from my personal e-mail, and if I make a business appointment, the invite is sent from my business account.
    I was able to do this with google calendar, but I am trying to be all in the cloud.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    P.s. running 10.7 and iCal vs.5.0.1
    Thanks

  • How can I change the default "from" email account on my iPad/iPhone in IOS 8.2?

    I currently use my phone & pad for business and personal use.  My emails should come from my business account but they're coming from my Yahoo account.  How can I change it without having to manually change each email?  I've checked online but I don't see settings/mail,contacts,calendars/default account in this new revision of software.
    Thanks!

    Hi bschmidt0726,
    Go to "Setting"; scroll down to the 4th box for "iCloud"; You need to turn on you "Mail" option in the "iCloud" settings.
    Then,
    Go into "Settings", scroll down to "Mail, Contacts, Calendars"; on the left panel, scroll down to the 4th box; there you'll find the "Default Account" settings.

  • How do you set a default automatic email notification using Dreamweaver?

    Hello:
    I am currently creating a form on a webpage using Adobe Dreamweaver. This form is used for users to register for an event and I would like when they are finished filling out the form that the 'Submit' button autmatically sends that information from the form to a default email address. This button would not send the user to Outlook, it would just automatically send the information to the recipient address. I've seen a few websites that have this capability so I'm pretty sure that it is possible to do it, I just don't know how. Much help would be appreciated!!

    You will need a script to process the form - generally a FormMail script.
    Firstly check with your hosting service, most hosts offer such a free formmail script on their servers.  Either check the hosts' FAQ pages or contact the host directly and ask them how to implement this on your site.
    It's then a matter or adding a bit of code to the <form> tag to get the form to send to whatever email address you specify.
    If the host doesn't support such a script (which would very unusual and I wouldn't host with them for this reason  :-)  then you may need to look at a rd party form processing service.

  • How do I set a default for folders to be read & write

    I have an IMAC with OSX v10.6. I am on a network with a few other computers. My disk is used to house shared folders. When I create a new folder or file from Word it is set to "read only" and I have to go into the file info and set it to "read & write". This may be a simple fix but I would like to know how to change my preferences to fix this issue.
    THANKS!

    The Firefox [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Page+Zoom Page Zoom] feature does a domain by domain level of saving the users preferred zoom level settings, there is no default Page Zoom level setting in Firefox, as with some other browsers.

  • How do i CC: a group from my address book

    when I reply to a message, how do I pick a group from my address list and have the reply cc:'ed to everyone in that group ?
    in the "WRITE" box that pops up, there's no reference to address list and when I start typing the name of the group, it does not come up in the suggested completions.
    thanks
    richard

    In principle, open a Cc: box in your email message composition window, and add the "group" (aka Mailing List) to that.
    Is it OK for all the members of the List to see and know each others' addresses? Would Bcc: be appropriate?
    I don't like the sound of the Mailing List not being volunteered as a possible address. What if you use F9 to reveal the Contacts Sidebar and add it from there?

  • How to set default "from" email in Launchpad

    Where do you set up the default from email address in BI Launchpad so that when scheduling reports so that this does not have to be filled in everytime?  Additionally, we would want this to be read-only so that it cannot be changed.
    We are using Crystal Server 2011:

    Log in to the CMC and go to Servers.  Go the the Destination properties of each "Job Server".  Select the "Email" destination and you can set the default "From" address there that should apply to all schedules.

  • How to set a default "from" field on outgoing Mail message

    i read through the last few pages of this support forum and googled my topic but i havent found a suitable solution.
    in Mail v 3 (3.4) there is a "From:" field in any outgoing mail. very useful for those of us with multiple non-accounts and/or .Mac aliases. i generally set a specific outgoing mail server (so that field is removed from outgoing email).
    my problem is how to set a default outgoing email address so that my recipients always get from a certain (eg work) email address when i am at work. at work, anything i send, i want to show my work email without always having to manually select the "FROM" field in the outgoing email.
    ( aside: i had read that Mail version 3 was supposed to auto-select any reply so that the reply would come from the same email i orginally sent as. this does not work on my mac.)
    This problem is exacerbated as Mail auto-rotates between my 4 email accounts/aliases (which are all listed (correctly) in the FROM field. it would be great if this list could be fixed with a default FROM address.
    eg i send an email from my work email address (FROM: [email protected]) the next email i send will be rotated through my list of .mac aliases. i.e. the next email i send will not be from [email protected], but from [email protected] the next time it might move on to [email protected] or it might revert to [email protected]
    any thoughts on how to fix?
    i have tried deleting the home/library/preferences/com.apple.mail.plist. that is fine, but any .mac aliases (which i do use, but i dont want to be listed in the "FROM" field) are listed in the "FROM" field, and are auto-switched through my Mail again.
    i looked through Rules and Automator, but no obvious help there. any thoughts?

    Did you try Preferences > Accounts > Account Information and entering these other email aliases in the Email Address: field, separated by commas? That would give you a pop-down menu in the New Message window letting you choose which alias to use when sending an email.
    If you go to Preferences > Composing, there should be a pop-down menu near the middle of that window labeled "Send new mail from:" which will let you choose any email address you have entered in the Account Information field mentioned above, or "Account of last viewed mailbox" as the default.

  • On a mac computer, how do i set the default brower to open up links in emails to Safari, and not Mozilla

    On a mac computer, how do i set the default brower to open up links in emails to Safari, and not Mozilla
    == User Agent ==
    Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; GTB6.5; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)

    Thanks for the suggestion.
    A few weeks ago I downloaded some free software from the "tucows.com" website, it appears to have permanently hijacked my web browsers (both firefox and IE) so all searches go to their "searchqu" site, and new tabs open at that site. I was unable to repair this with the addins you suggested or by editing my user preferences files, and ended up having to reinstall firefox. Hopefully I won't run into the tucows rootkit ;)
    But thanks anyway.

  • 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.

  • How do I set the default welcome page for PUBLIC user

    gurus,
    i'm using -
    Oracle 9i Database
    Oracle 9ias Portal Release 2
    QUESTION => how do I set the default welcome page for the PUBLIC user.
    i did the following to achieve this -
    1. logged into portal
    2. clicked on builder
    3. clicked on administer tab
    4. selected PUBLIC user in the Portal User Profile portlet
    5. went to the preferences tab
    6. in the default home page selected a custom page group
    7. logged out of portal
    8. open a new browsere session
    9. type the portal URL and i get the login page ....??
    i'm unable to understand this behavior ... shouldn't i be getting the page group that i set for the PUBLIC user in step 6 above ....
    the second QUESTION is => when the user logs out he/she should see the PUBLIC page set in step 6 above ... but, instead the user sees a page that is as follows -
    Partner Application Name Logout Status [Logout Status]
    Oracle Portal (portal) logout status
    The SSO Server (orasso) checkmark
    buzz.resva.trw.com:7778 checkmark
    infrastructure.happy.resva.trw.com checkmark
    portal1.buzz.resva.trw.com checkmark
    portal2.sylvester.resva.trw.com checkmark
    sylvester.resva.trw.com:7778 checkmark
    so, how can i set the default page for the PUBLIC user and also a page when he user logs out.
    ideas anyone ....?
    thanx a bunch.
    hero

    Hi,
    The sequence of operation you are doing to set the home page for public users is correct. You are getting the login screen as the "custom page group" selected as "home page" has not been granted to public.
    Also, while logging-out, it is normal behaviour to get the screen where it shows the list of partner applications from where user has been logged-out. When you click on "Return" button, you will get to the "home page" set above.
    Hope it clarifies the things.
    Regards,
    Ved

  • How can I set the default line height?

    Greetings,
    I have a report that displays observed behavior in a list format like the one below:
    Behavior Observed:   
        Withdrawn           
        Happy
        Sad
        angry
    There are 5 responses as to the severity of the behavior or it is left blank if the behavior was within normal limits.
    So the output would look like this:  
    Behavior Observed:   
        Withdrawn            (mild)
        Happy
        Sad                      (moderate)
        angry
    The problem is that when this report was designed the details sections were not uniformy formatted and the spacing between data elements is hard to follow from the label to the data field.  I tried to set the details to be uniform by selecting "Arrange Lines",  however when I do this, the data is displayed too close horizontally.  So my question is how do I set the default line height for each field so that they are uniform in distance from each other but not too close due to the font height?
    Does this make sense?
    Thank you,
    Kevin

    I'm confused... How are you associating line height with horizontal field spacing???
    If you have this...
    Behavior Observed:     Severity:
    Withdrawn          (mild)
    Happy
    Sad               (moderate)
    angry
    But want it to look like this...
    Behavior Observed:
    Withdrawn (mild)
    Happy
    Sad (moderate)
    angry
    all you have to do is create a concatenation formula. Something like this...
    {TableName.BehaviorObserved} & " (" & {TableName.Severity} &")"
    Sorry if I've misunderstood what you are trying to do.
