I have 3 email accounts in Mail on Macbook Pro. Mail is only being sent from 1 account.
I have 3 email accounts in Mail. Mail is only being sent from 1 account, even though I select one of the other accounts in the "from" field. In my sent box, the "From" field says the accout I selected, but all recipients say they receive it from a different account. I set my composing preferences "send new messages from" to the main account, but all my mail is still being sent from a different account. I cannot see that this is happening, only people receiving it can. I noticed it because when they reply, it goes to a different account than what I sent to them. Any suggestions with what I should do?
Thank you! Funny. I had just found that answer eleswhere: http://simonwheatley.co.uk/2013/02/apple-mail-sending-email-from-the-wrong-accou nt/

Mail only being sent from NON-default account
I have two email accounts set up on my iPhone. One is a POP account - work email hosted by Earthlink; the second is a personal email account on Gmail. For months I've been able to send email from either account. The POP/work email account is designated as the 'Default' account.
Recently though, when I am in my POP/work email account and I reply to a recently received email in that account, I am able to reply to the email but the recipient receives my reply from my Gmail/personal email account. Again, this a reply I've sent while in my POP/work email account, AND my POP/work email account is even set as the 'Default' email account. Yet, replies are being sent from my Gmail/personal email account.
The same thing happens when I draft new emails (not replying to message from someone else) - when I draft them from my POP/work account, they are received by intended recipient but show that they came from my Gmail/personal account and therefore all replies to my emails are sent to my Gmail/personal account.
Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks in advance.You are undisputedly THE Man/Woman! Essentially you solved it for me. Following your tip, I checked the SMTP settings of my work email account on my iPhone and somehow (don't know how) they had gotten deleted. In turn, somehow, that was having all mail go through the remaining functioning out-bound mail on my iPhone which was through my Gmail account. In some ways that is weird, but not a bad resilient capability by the iPhone to still send the mail using the other email account info.
Thanks again. I really appreciate you taking the time to post your thoughts. And I REALLY appreciate you being correct!
Best,

I have both Iwork and Microsft Office (had to have it for school) on my Macbook Pro. Can I uninstall Iwork on my computer and re install it at a later date from the disc, or was it a one time install

Wait. It will be in settings>messages>send and receive but it may take a while.
I had the same problem and it took about 20 mimutes for me to be able to check my number. before that it was greyed out so i couldnt check it. Its something to do with the servers being so busy. -
I have forgotten my Mail account password on my MacBook Pro. How can I learn what it is? (It doesn't give the option of resetting my password!)
Thank you!tarheelwill wrote:
Accidentally posted it twice; first time user!
The password it prompts for is the third password line in a box under 1) my name and 2) my me.com email address. I assume it is the password I set up back in 2009 when I bought my MacBook Pro. However, I have since fogotten it, and it doesn't give you an opportunity to "remember" it.
Thank you!
Glenn posted the method, try it. -
I have installed OS X Mavericks on macbook pro, macbook air & iMac but I am having terrible trouble with apple Mail. I need to take all accounts online frequently OR worse I have to quit mail and restart computer. Is anyone else having problems?
I just checked to see if the update to OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 solved any of the issues outlined in my previous post, and to my dismay, nothing has changed -- all of the previous problems persist.
My iMac (8) -- it's renamed itself eight times since the recent troubleshoot with the Apple tech rep -- shows up as a shared device in Finder on my MacBook Pro, but when I click on it, I cannot establish a connection using "Connect As". So I've attempted to connect using the menu "Go/Connect to Server...", using both (alternately) the iMac's name and IP address, to no avail. I get a message which reads: "There was a problem connecting to the server 'Peter's iMac (8)'. This server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again."
Here's what I know:
The server -- Peter's iMac (8) does exist;
The server -- Peter's iMac (8) is available at this time;
The server name -- Peter's iMac (8) -- is correct, as specified in the system sharing preferences;
The server IP address is correct, as specified in the system sharing preferences;
The network connection is active when I attempt to connect.
I'm convinced the problems stem directly from the OS X Yosemite update. None of this was ever remotely an issue in the previous OS X's -- any of them. This is maddening! What can be done? Apple?? Anyone??? -
Reply address: is it possible to use another reply address other than the pop address used in my account. I have a special work account and would like to send emails with that address as my reply address...or sent from address
i found out how to do this finally!
1) set up google gmail account to forward your emails to (from the [email protected])
2) go to your gmail account
3) go to settings (cog in right hand corner)
4) go to 'accounts and import'
5) go to 'send mail as'
6) click 'Add another email address you own' - add your [email protected] address
7) google will send a verification email with code to that email address.
8) enter code
9) go back to gmail account >'send mail as' and select 'make default'
10) close mac 'mail' program and reopen it.
as long as you have gmail account selected as the primary account in MAIL - mail will now come throught as being sent from that [email protected] address!! -
I have chosen to fil migrate from old ibook to new MacBook Pro using Time Machine after establishing admin account. I now have two admin. accounts and wish to delete the later one and transfer files manually. I am worried I will loose both accounts. ??
Use the Office for Mac and ignore using Parallels for that. If you have PC only apps you have to run that are MS Windows only then consider Parallels. Just transfer your main PC, using Migration Assistant. If you don't know how then simply read over Pondini's article called Lion or Mountain Lion Setup Assistant tips and look for the section on migrating from a PC. Millions have done what you are about to, it's far from leading edge these days, if you go to an Apple Store to purchase they will offer this as a service, something you might be interested in.

My Wife and I have separate accounts on the same Macbook Pro. I have moved the iTunes library to a shared area and we can both access it, however, my Wife (secondary user)can't import cd's. Is there something we are missing and is there a way to do this?
You are more likely to get relavant and useful suggestions posting to the Mac forums instead of the iTunes for Windows forum where you've posted.

I have my ITunes account on my home Macbook. Can I log onto my ITunes account from a different Windows-based computer?
Yes, but your iTunes library won't automatically show up on a different computer; putting it there is a separate process.

How do I set up the email on the my new MacBook Pro to receive "me" email
how do I set up the email on the my new MacBook Pro to receive "me" email on my Mac. I would like to use Entourage if possible but anything would be good.

MartinHi Martin,
MobileMe Mail Help: Setting up Mac OS X Mail to receive your MobileMe email
The steps you follow to set up Mac OS X Mail to receive your MobileMe email depend on which version of Mac OS you’re using.
Important: For the instruction below, use the following: MobileMe Mail’s incoming mail server is “mail.me.com” and the outgoing mail server it “smtp.me.com.”
To set up Mac OS X Mail to receive MobileMe mail:
If you’re using Mac OS X version 10.4.11 or later
Open System Preferences (under the Apple icon at the upper-left of your computer screen).
Click MobileMe (if you have Mac OS X version 10.5.3 or later), or .Mac (if using version 10.4.11 to 10.5.2), and enter your MobileMe member name and password.
Open Mac OS X Mail, choose Mail > Preferences, and then click Accounts.
Click the Add button at the lower-left of the Accounts pane. Choose MobileMe from the Account Type pop-up menu, and then enter your account information.
The member name and password you use for SMTP authentication must match the member name and password in the User Name and Password fields.
To switch to POP, delete the existing IMAP account before you create the new POP account. Choose POP Account from the Account Type pop-up menu instead of MobileMe Account. -
All mail being sent from default account!!!!
Hello. I have four (4) email accounts linked to my iPhone. Whenever I send a message from any account, it sends it from the default account. Is there a way to fix this?
I'll try to explain in better like this ...
- My default account is #1 of 4
- I want to send a message from account #2
- It sends find, but it sends it from account #1, not #2
- So, when someone replies to my message, it gets sent to account #1, not #2 like it should.
I have talked to a few of my friends that have iPhones and they said theirs didn't do that, but they weren't sure how to fix it. Can anyone please help me!
Thanks!jvnatale,
How are you sending messages? If you are sending a website link or a picture, it will use your default email address. If you want to send a message from a particular email, you need to go into Mail and into the account you want to send from before tapping on the new message icon. That way the iPhone knows you want to send from that account.
Hope this helps,

Syncing macbook pro mail 4.2 with Imac 3.6mail
I have trouble with macbook pro mail in that once I read the mail on it, the mail no longer shows up on my Imac. I am able to read mail on the Imac first, and it shows up on the macbook pro. The mail programs are different versions: macbook pro is 4.2, and Imac is 3.6. All settings are set up the same on both computers.
I'd like to have access to all the mail on both computers -- is this possible?Who is your email provider? It depends upon how they are setup to deliver email to you. If you are using a provider that supports IMAP, then both Macs can synchronize email easily. What one mail client does when connected to the mail server, the other will see once they connect and pick up changes.
If your provider uses POP3 then it's more difficult. Mail clients using POP3 to get their email don't sync very easily. The reason is that when one mail client downloads email from the mail server using POP3, it then deletes the email that it just downloaded off the server. The other mail client connects later and doesn't see the emails because the first email client deleted them after downloading them.
The main difference between IMAP and POP3 is that mail clients using IMAP leave the mail on the server, even after you've read it. The only time it's deleted is when you choose to delete it.
Now, if you're using an email service using something other than IMAP or POP3 to deliver email, then you should say so in a reply.
