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.

How to set the 'default to' field of a dashboard prompt to yesterday?

Hi everyone,
I have a dashboard prompt on a date (fully qualified name Date.Date and type Date).
I also have a simple report with two columns: Date.Date and a mesure (whatever the name).
I managed to filter on the day before the current date in the report by adding an advanced SQL filter:
Date.Date = Cast(TimestampAdd(SQL_TSI_DAY,-1,@{system.currentTime}) as Date)
Now, I would like the prompt to select the day before the current date by default.
The filter on Date.Date would be 'is prompted' or so.
How do I set the "Default to" field of the prompt?
Thanks in advance

Hi
go to your prompt..
select SQL Results from Default to: dropdown..
here.. you need to write your Logical SQL..
which defaults to the previous date
some thing like this..
*select case when 1=0 then anydate column else timestampadd(sql_tsi_day, -1, CURRENT_DATE) end FROM SubjectArea name*
write like this.. and report back...
Thanks & Regards

How can I change the "From:" field in iOS Mail?

This is a weird one.
I have a gmail work email account that has been set up for me. There's a primary email address assigned to it, and a secondary one (which is the one I want to use).
No problem at all sending from the secondary account on my MacBook Pro. I just hit the drop down menu by the "From:" field, and I can select it from there.
However, when I send from my iPhone, I'm only given the option of sending from my primary email address, not the secondary one. This is despite the fact that I've synced Mail accounts via iTunes.
Any idea how I might fix this so I can send from the secondary account on my iPhone?

First of all, please fill in the Computer Model and Operating System fields on your My Settings’s profile (and click Save). This is essential information that should always be provided when asking for help.
Now, what does “I can't change it” mean? What appears in the From header of the messages you send is determined by your Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Account Information settings...

How can I edit the 'from' field at e-mail receipts

I tried to add my own name in the 'from' field in the section 'e-mail receipts', but the system won't let me edit the field. It always sticks with the standard 'from' name Adobe Forms Central. I have a Plus Subscription package.
Please advise how to proceed. Thanks.

Hi,
To customize the name in the "From" field used for email receipts, you must first select an address other than "[email protected]".

Brian

The "From: field on outgoing mail has dissappeared.

and I can't find anywhere to add From.
It simply vanished, whereas I'd always had a From, with pulldown menu that allowed me to choose which name/email address I wanted to send from.
thanks,
eek

No - nothing to do with columns, alas.
What is missing is the pulldown menu that used to be on lower left of address area.
The pulldaown aid "accounts" and I could pull down to select which of my email names I wanted to send from.
Oh - and this is the mail application, not the internet .
Thank you!

Set default "from" field in Mail per account?

Is there any way I can set the default "from" field in Mail based on the account I'm sending from?
I have two accounts defined: work and personal. Each account has 2 email addresses associated with it (as a comma-separated list in the "Email Address" field under "Account Information"). Let's call the email addresses work-A, work-B, personal-A, personal-B.
In the Composing prefs I can either select ONE default email address to send ALL mail from, or I can select to send from "Account of Last Viewed Mailbox", in which case Mail will choose a work email address if I'm in a work mailbox and a personal email address if I'm in a personal mailbox.
That second option is great, except I can't control which work email address it chooses - A or B. Changing the order of the email addresses in the Account Information->Email Address field has no effect - it consistently chooses the "wrong" one :-/
Any way I can use "Account of Last Viewed Mailbox" and still set a default mail address per account?

Since my last post, I found tried putting
Preferences->Accounts->Email address to be my edu address
would add my .edu address as one of my from choices
Next, I sent myself a mail message, with following result:
The .edu address is now rejected by the outgoing server with the message:
Cannot send message using the server
The sender address (my .edu address) was rejected by the server
I had this working at some time, but not now. Help, please.

Many of them suggested to go with get attribute and set attribute for changing any particular field in web dynpro,but im not very familiar in using those get and set attributes.I request you people can give me sample code on how to identify my target field in the node and set the values while pressing EDIT Button.
Thanks in advance...

How to set a default Billing type for a particular Delivery type

Dear All,
How to set a default billing type for a particular delivery type.
My requirement is, we are creating delivery for a Stock Transport Order. Delivery type is NL and the Purchase order type is UB.
When we are creating Billing, it should take Billing type "ZSTO" by default, which is the customised Billing type.
Where we have to do this setting?
In case of normal sales order, this control will be available in the Sales order document types.
In case STO, how to set a default billing type for a delivery type (NL).
Regards,
Rajesh

There is a customization available here no default or hard coded
Normally in a sales doc type we mention which billing type system has to pick
If the billing happens from a PO which billing type system will take depends on the controls set in the areas mentioned below
Go to your delivery type OVLK (say your delivery type is NL)
In that there is a field called default order qty in the order reference tab (say if you maintained DL there)
This DL is called PSEUDO order type
Then in VOV8 for DL based on the billing types mentioned ,system will take the billing doc
For delivery related billing say if you mention say ZF8 in the details of DL in VOV8(provided you have created ZF8)
Then while you bill the delivery doc of NL system will take ZF8
For intercompany delivery you can create ZIV billing type also Pure customization
PO is linked to delivery type ( MM spro settings)--Del type linked to order (pseudo) type---in order type (pseudo) we mention the billing types. Here the flow is bit different that pure SD flow
Though the invoice is crated by manually putting customized Biiling Type and A/Cing doc also generated, but in the VF04 still system shows the same deliveries pending with Billing Type (F2).
This manual is not reqd if the said assignments are done properly
Hope it can assist you.
Thanks & Regards
JP

How to set a default value in dropdown list in Wendynpro ABAP? Help!

Hi Experts,
       I have Webdynpro for ABAP application that shows a DropdownwithKey UI element.
1. I am able to populate the dropdown list. But by default the list is not showing any value. Only when I select a value from the list then it shows it.
So how to set the default value to the first value in the list? Any code sample will be really helpfull.
I have written the following code:
method WDDOINIT .
DATA:
    node_category TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node_info.
node_category = WD_CONTEXT->GET_NODE_INFO( ).
node_category = node_category->GET_CHILD_NODE( 'CATEGORY' ).
data:    LT_VALUESET type WDR_CONTEXT_ATTR_VALUE_LIST,
           L_VALUE type WDR_CONTEXT_ATTR_VALUE.
L_VALUE-VALUE      = 'V1'.
L_VALUE-TEXT    = 'yesterday'.
INSERT L_VALUE into table LT_VALUESET.
L_VALUE-VALUE      = 'V2'.
L_VALUE-TEXT    = 'today'.
INSERT L_VALUE into table LT_VALUESET.
L_VALUE-VALUE      = 'V3'.
L_VALUE-TEXT    = 'tomorrow'.
INSERT L_VALUE into table LT_VALUESET.
node_category->SET_ATTRIBUTE_VALUE_SET(
             NAME = 'CAT_VALUE'
             VALUE_SET = LT_VALUESET ).
endmethod.
Note that: I am using webdynpro for ABAP.
Thanks
Gopal

I am not sure how it works in Web Dynpro for ABAP, but in Web Dynpro for Java to set default drop down value you will have to set the value for particular attribute (which is linked to the dropdown element) in the context
like
wdContext.currentContext<nodeName>Element.set<FieldName>(<defalut value>)
This generally done in Initialization method of the controller.

"I would like to know how to set the default view for the columns. Somewhere I read it could be done in by music icon under Library. Can't find it. Thanks

"I would like to know how to set the default view for the columns that are shown in iTunes. Every time I open it, I have to either go to the options, or right-click to get the pop-up options, and delete "rating" and add "composer." I'd really like to just do it once and be done with it." Somewhere I read you could do this by clicking on the Music icon under LIBRARY then arramge the columns. Trouble is, I can't find a Musi Folder or icon in my user library.
Any help would be appreiated. OSX 10.9.2 iTunes version 11.1.5 Thanks!!! CW!

From the iTunes menu bar try View>Show View Options. Make sure what you want to see is checked and what you don't is unchecked. You can do this (may need to do this) for any playlists, your main Library, etc.
Good luck

How to set the default text in an input box or a label to be a predefine, multiline text

how to set the default text in an input box or a label to be a predefine, multiline text. In other words how to break the line in the code of a text box.
thank you

There are a couple of ways of doing this:
If you're editing on the canvas, press Shift + Enter.
If you're working in Express View (see lower right hand corner of Project Siena), you'll need to copy a hard return from another app such as Notepad.
I believe a better implementation of hard returns are in the list of requested functionality that you can find here:

How to set my default application...not working

My company has nearly all adobe applications installed from PageMaker 6.5 through InDesign 5.5. We use them all frequently. I'm trying to set my defaults on the Mac Pros and it is not working.
Specs if Needed:
OSX 10.6.8
Model Identifier:          MacPro5,1
Processor Name:          Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Processor Speed:          2.8 GHz
Number Of Processors:          1
Total Number Of Cores:          4
Memory:          6 GB
Boot ROM Version:          MP51.007F.B01
+BootCamp dual boot Windows 7
We proof out all files in the version that it comes to us. Our customers are on different versions than the most current, and it's driving us crazy that we can't set the defaults for
each Adobe application. For Instance,
We want for Defaults:
Photoshop = CS4
InDesign = CS4
Illustrator = CS5
etc.
The Finder will not allow us to make the change to open all of a certain file type in the version we want by default. We also use a third party application that allows us to "double
click" InDesign files and open them in the correct version. This saves valuable navigation time and because of the OS's problem with using the correct icons, it also saves us time
dealing with the "Untitled" document when we accidentally convert by opening in the wrong application by mistake. We have gone through Onyx utilities and massive permissions
troubleshooting to no avail. Does anyone know how to set the default for ALL files of a type for Adobe Apps? This has been thoroughly tested and is not working on 10 plus
machines, and only effects Adobe apps.
Any Ideas?

I think you miss understand the question. There is a problem with OSX 10.6 and Adobe Apps. 10.5 ok, not sure about 10.7 because of all of the other Adobe problems we downgraded the test machine that we used for the upgrade. There is no way that I have found to make the files “Double-Clickable” through assigning a default application of files with Adobe extensions. We already have an app. that we use and it worked fine until 10.6. I can’t just approve a division-wide purchase of software for a bug that may be solvable by other means (by the way supposed cost of the licensing Soxy is deceiving at $20. Not for us. For companies it’s $20 per platform & also for each time Adobe updates. When we swap out hardware, we have to pay $40 again . Their pricing is absurd). $40 x a couple hundred machines every 18 months or so, uugh! The ten or so I’m working with are just the ones in my immediate department.
I know you have good intentions with your reply and I appreciate it, however I’m looking to solve the problem, not put a band-aid on it. If the problem is by design so Rorohiko can hold companies hostage, then I guess we’ll just have to deal with the few extra clicks it takes to figure out which version we’re in need of, and dragging to the launch bar.
Thanks very much for your reply,
Seth
