How do I strop thunderbird from using any email account other than my default one?

I have a number of different email accounts all set up separately but identities are not set as they were too confusing for this autistic brain.
How do I stop it choosing ANY other address in the "from" and "reply to" of replies or forwarded emails.

You most likely don't need identities, at least not as Thunderbird uses the term.
Most of us would reply to an email address by replying "from" the address it was sent "to". I wouldn't reply to business emails using my private email address, nor would I reply to private email messages using my work email address. Email software generally goes out of its way to maintain this consistency. So you want to override this built-in behaviour. ;-)
You might find these add-ons useful:
Folder Accounts lets you associate an email address ("identity" in the broader sense) with each folder, so this can force the use of a preferred address.
Correct Identity reads through the message you're writing and picks out a relevant "identity" to use as "from:", depending on whom you are writing to. This helps me avoid using my personal email address to reply to business emails and vice versa. It can also flash up a warning if you try to use an "unapproved" email address in the "from:" field.
I have used Folder Accounts to override the default identity for one or two accounts which are used in a very specific context, such as reporting spam, but it has clashed with newsgroups. Of course, this may not matter to you.
Of the two, Folder Account may suit you best if you don't use Thunderbird to read newsgroups.

    E5, i can't use any email account.
    for expamle, i have one gmail. every time, i try to enter in email, the phone aks me to creat it, and again and again.
    help me.

    Ahhh after some research and trail and error.. (hours of it)... I got a work around!!! I tried it for gmail and it works fine now!! Below is what you do:-
    On inital stage please type dont type correct yahoo, gmail, hotmail or other email ID "
    for example if ur id is ****@hotmail.com that type ****@abc.com insted of hotmail. and correct it on second stage.
    Go to Mail on your phone  - Options - Settings -  scroll down to email - Options - New Mailbox
    Click - start and then NO to allow connections (that stops Nokia Messaging swinging into control)
    Now enter your hotmail address except do not put @hotmail.com at the end.  Put @abc.com
    e..g. if you email is *****@hotmail.com then enter mailto:*****@abc.com
     Now enter your password - press OK
    Now you will get an OPTION to define settings and it will allow you to manually set the POP3 or IMAP
    Now put in your correct email id and passwd while setting the IMAP. for gmail use the following >
    Enter 'imap.gmail.com' as the incoming mail server, Select 'SSL/TLS' for your security (ports) and define your port as '993.'
    Enter 'smtp.gmail.com' as the outgoing mail server,Select 'StartTLS' for your security (ports) and define your port as '587.'
    Save it... and you will say Wow!!! that worked!!!
    Atleast it worked for me!!!

  • HT5624 Someone I don't know is using my email address as their Apple ID to sign and purchase apps ect and I keep getting notifications in my emails. How do I stop them from using my email address????????

    Someone I don't know is using my email address as their Apple ID to sign and purchase apps ect and I keep getting notifications in my emails. How do I stop them from using my email address????????

    If a person is using your email address, you should change your email password and make sure there aren't any forwards to some strange email address.
    An example if you were using gmail, under account settings, a forward can be set up to send messages to another email address.
    If your email address is say, you own domain, such as somename@somename dot com, make sure the forwards are forwards you set up.
    If your email account was hacked and the bad guy has access, you need to cut him off, first by changing the password and second cut off any message forwarding to the bad guy if he set it up.  Just changing the password would keep a bad guy out, but if the bad guy set up a forward, he will still get your email.
    A confirmation from Apple would have come to your email address in order to confirm that Apple ID.  If you are getting the other person's purchase notifications, you would have gotten a confirmation of that account from Apple.

  • Can you use any email account with iChat?

    It appears that iChat allows you to add other other email accounts other than AOL or MobileMe but can you chat using these accounts and can you screen share etc with non MobileMe users?
    Message was edited by: Peter O'Toole

    Hi,
    The answer is yes but your question is wrong.
    The AIM page for Registration now allows you to use any Email ID as a Screen Name.
    AIM has long done this for the Apple IDs of [email protected] and the MobileMe type email IDs of [email protected]
    They have also done it for other ISPs in the past as well
    More recently I have had someone test with me having used a Hotmail ID in the AIM Registration process.
    Jabber IDs look like email IDs and in the case of the GoogleTalk option they can be.
    As long as the Screen Name works in one of your Buddy lists it will be valid And if they are an iChat user with iChat 4 or above then they will be able to Screen Share.
    NOTES:
    Screen Sharing in iChat uses a Random port so any router or modem that routes need to be able to use UPnP or Port Mapping Protocol to open the ports or it will not work.

  • HT2486 How do you assign a new contact to an account other than default account?

    I have multiple mail accounts (iCloud, exchange server, gmail) each with their own contacts. When adding a contact how do you assign it to the right account? I know you can assign a default account under settings but how can you assign it to an account other than the default?

    Apple allows you a deauthorize all option once every 12 months.
    iTunes Store: Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC
    Deauthorize all computers
    After you authorize two computers, you'll have the option to deauthorize all computers for your Apple ID. You can deauthorize all computers once a year.
    Just like deauthorizing a single computer, you won’t delete anything if you choose to deauthorize all computers. You just won’t be able to play content that you bought from iTunes on those computers. After you deauthorize all, you can easily authorize computers again one by one. Just follow the steps to authorize a Mac or PC.
    Here's when you should deauthorize all your computers:
    If a computer doesn't work anymore
    If you don't have one of your computers
    If you used 5 authorizations and want to authorize a new computer
    To deauthorize all your computers, follow these steps using one of your authorized computers:
    1.Click to open your account in iTunes (you may need to sign in with your Apple ID), or follow these steps:
         a. Open iTunes and click iTunes Store.
         b. Click Sign In and enter your Apple ID.
         b. Click your Apple ID and select Account.
    2. Click Deauthorize All.
    The Deauthorize All button appears only if you have more than two authorized computers.

    The LMS has no control over the playbar that pauses or plays the Captivate content.
    In a Multi SCORM package, the LMS also may be showing a TOC in the SCORM player with links to launch the lesson modules.  This TOC is in addition to the TOC inside the Captivate project file which gives access to sections of the module by jumping to slides that begin those sections.  But the LMS doesn't usually give you any control over the look and feel or functionality of that TOC either. 
    If your client is adamant that they want complete control over these areas, then your best option may be NOT to build this course with Captivate but build it from the ground up with another tool.  E.g. Flash, or Dreamweaver.  Either way, that will add a lot more time and expense to the project.  But if the client has the budget and is unwilling to budge on their requirement, then that's what I would be telling them to do.

  • How can I read my old POP3 emails on Thunderbird from a closed email account that Thunderbird first wants me to open?

    For several years, I routinely used Thunderbird to download (POP mode) emails from my previous Centurytel.net email account. I thought that these POP emails downloaded onto my computer via Thunderbird would later be readable, even though I closed my Centurytel.net email account. However, when opening Thunderbird (to try to read any), the Thunderbird software insists on first logging into that (now defunct email account) by username and password. Of course, now that fails as that account at Centurytel.net no longer exists. Is there a way to still read such old emails by bypassing in Thunderbird the requirement to first log into that now defunct email account?
    Thanks in advance for any and all help, Paul

    Try setting Thunderbird to offline - look under File on the menu.
    Now if you move the messages to Local Folders, you can delete the account in Thunderbird and you won't get any further connection errors.

  • I cannot receive emails in Thunderbird from my new email account

    I have a new email address that I have set up in Thunderbird exactly the same as the others, but although I can send emails from it, I cannot receive them?
    (I get the error message: "Sending of password for user -email address here- did not succeed. Mail server mail.lcn.com responded: Authentication failed.")
    It is not a problem with my hosting account, as I can emails in their webmail, I just can't get them in Thunderbird?
    What's gone wrong? Can you help?

    Glad you have got it sorted!!

  • How do I Delete pictures from iCloud for no reason other than I don't want them

    I have an iPhone and when I take a picture it goes immediately to iCloud and now I can't Delete it like I used to before icloud.  All I had to do was click on the garbage can and then Delete and it was gone but not now.  I can't delete anything after I've taken the picture and I have several pictures I no longer want or need.  How can I Delete these pictures PLEASE?
    I'm sorry if this has been done wrong but I don't know much about computers.
    Spoonman42

    You can't because the actual photo is in camera roll.  The albums only contain links to the photos.  If you delete the photo from camera roll it will be gone from your phone and therefore also removed from any albums that contain links to it.

  • JSLink not working when using any list ViewStyles other than default.

    Hi,
    I have a custom field and i am doing client side rendering of it using JSLink for ListView form. I started by applying the JSLink in custom field class.
    public override string JSLink
    get { return myJSLinkPath; }
    set { base.JSLink = value; }
    Everything seems to work fine and i can see my custom field get rendered properly. Till this point i was using the default sharepoint list view style. After sometime i decided to use the shaded listview style which is <ViewStyle ID="17"
    /> to get the alternating row color style in my list. After applying this style, my JSLink stopped working, infact it is not even registered on page now. I have tried different ways to set JSLink property like it is mentioned in the following link but it
    didnt worked.
    http://www.martinhatch.com/2013/08/jslink-and-display-templates-part-1.html
    So my question is, how to apply JSLink while using the shaded (or any other) viewstyle?

    Arham,
    When you register your display template, I'm guessing you're using both ListTemplateID and BaseViewID in the registration code?
    It's likely that the BaseViewID is different for the Shaded ViewStyle. You should still see your code registered on the page in the Head element, but when it runs I think the registration is getting ignored.
    Using the debugger in IE or chrome should allow you to step through the Display Template registration and double check what the value of BaseViewID should be.
    You can of course override this if you want, I use a similar method in a blog post on fixing the clash with multiple web parts and JSLink on a page which may help you.
    http://www.myfatblog.co.uk/index.php/2013/09/listview-web-part-issues-with-jslink-and-display-templates-a-solution/
    I'll give this a test on my dev environment when I get home and see if I get the same results when adding the JSLink through the webpart properties.
    ##EDIT##
    Ok, I tried this at home using a Field Display Template and it worked on all the different styles, however this was with the JSLink deployed through the list view web part properties, not declaratively in the field declaration.
    It does prove however that it's not the BaseViewID causing the problem.

  • How do I use field names other than the default ones in Contacts?

    The iPhone doesn't like certain types of phone field names!
    When you create a new contact with the Mac Address Book, you can choose mobile, iPhone, home, work, main, home fax, work fax, pager, and other. If, for example, your source data has a contact with a "main" phone number, that number doesn't sync at all.
    The data ONLY moves from my Mac to my iPhone IF I use the default field names.
    Why does Apple let us have a Custom name if this data will not sync?

    Because they DO sync. You have some other problem.

  • Does anyone know how to divert canon's software dvd to a folder other than their default folder?

    I have 3 Canon cameras and I want to be able to use the software that came with each one. However the Canon software install program always loads the software to the same default folder. Is there a way aroound this?

    If you're talking about the Camera Utilities (Digital Photo Professional, etc.) you don't actually have to have multiple installs. They are the same software, just make sure you're using the latest version and one installation will work with all of your cameras.
