In Mail set preferences for which account used to send email

When I click on a webpage link to send an email to somebody, Mail brings up a new email with that address on it -- but invariably it assigns it to an email address that I rarely use.  Same for forwarding incoming email.  I see no way to edit that From list to have a different account come first.  This does not happen when I click new message from the Mail program itself.  Is there a way to edit that list?

By default, Mail will always sent new messages from the account that is currently "selected" (ie, you have selected one of that account's mailboxes).  However, you can easily change this in Mail's preferences.  Choose Mail -> Preferences, then select the Composing tab, then change the pop-up menu next to "Send new messages from" to the desired account.

  • Mail program not listing which account used in the From: and To: descriptions

    I have two separate email accounts, iMap and POP, that I access and use with the Apple Mail program in Snow Leopard. In the past, I could click on my name in either the To: or From: box and see which account/server the email came into or from. A while ago, that info started being less available for some reason. Now, it is never available. I can see the source (email address) of other peoples emails, but not mine.
    This is all I see when I click on my name:
    Copy address
    Reply to Sender
    New message
    Open address book
    Create Smartmailbox
    Spotlight:"My name"
    When I click on other names, I can see their email address. Never for my name, even though I will use two different email addresses depending on whether it is work-related or not.
    This is annoying and seems like a feature has been changed. I can't figure out what setting I need to flip. What's goin on?
    Thanks,
    Nick

  • TS3276 Mail set up for Pop accounts

    Hello,
    I just purchased my first MacBook Air and am trying to set my POP email account up in Mail.  I can recieve email just fine, but am not able to send email at all.  I have triple checked my entries and they match what I am using on both my PC and my iPhone 5 - which I can send email from both of these.
    I am using OS X 10.9.1 - any suggestions?

    Hmmm.  All I can say is check for a fourth time.
    POP account as you describe,  but IMAP is the more common for synching accounts between machines.
    Try deleting that mail account  on the Mac and renenter all your info as new if you have to.

  • After installing Mt. Lion, Mail no longer asks for a password, even though I set preference for using a password.

    After installing Mt. Lion 10.8.2, Mail no longer asks for a password before opening messages, even though I tried to set preferences for using the password. Help!

    In Mail Preferences, Accounts item: I tried to delete the password (but that did not save). I got this idea from some Mail Help item that I cannot seem to find again. I cannot recall how I did it in Snow Leopard, but I had it set to ask for a password that was used solely for Mail. It would not download anything until I entered that password. Note: I am not on a network; just the single user of the MacPro. Thank you for any guidance you might be able to offer.

    Hi stanlaw,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The information below should help you with this.
    Associating and verifying email addresses with your Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HE68
    How to verify the primary email address for your Apple ID
    When you first create an Apple ID (using your email address) a verification email will be sent to that address. If you sign in to your Apple ID from the link in that email, the email address will be verified as the primary email address for your Apple ID. You can also resend the email verification if the email address is not verified:
    1. Sign in to My Apple ID to manage your account information.
    2. Click Resend under Primary Email Address.
    3. Verify your changes by following the link in the email you will receive from Apple and signing back in to your account.
    I hope this information helps ....
    Happy Holidays!

  • Outgoing mail server works for one account only

    This may be a coincidence but I just updated to 10.5.2 today and now my outgoing mail on one of my accounts will not send. I shared a SMTP with another one of my accounts thru SBC. I can send when using my SBC account email as sent but cannot use it on my non SBC account now. Any ideas? I tried switching to the 2nd account it should be set to but still cannot send.
    I even removed and started over with the email account but still cannot send.

  • Canceling a billing doc for which accounting doc not yet generated

    Hello,
    I have strange issue in canceling billing doc. What happened user created Intercompany billing doc IV against a delivery and accounting doc also released to FI. After that he found that value in that IV doc is not correct so he went and cancelled that doc IV and he created internal credit memo IG .But for this IG the accounting doc not generated due to FI period closing. Because the IV is created in the month of Oct and IG is created in the month of Nov'07.Due to this issue Accounting document not generated for this IG doc.
    But unfortunately by mistake he went cancelled the IG doc and it created IV again. Now what happened both IG and new IV created are showing in cancelled status. This is because if we cancel a billing doc for which accounting doc not created, then both doc will turning into cancelled status in doc flow. This is confirmed similar situation in my quality box and confirmed.
    Now can anybody come across this kind of issue and tell me what is the best approach to handle this kind of situation.

  • How to set value for Dropdown control using Querystring filter wepart

    How to load the values in dropdown control on form load and set a value using Query String filter webpart?

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you want to filter choice field using Query String Filter web part.
    To filter using query string filter web part, we can set the default value for the choice field in the query string filter web part panel as below, then connect to the list.
    Now it would be filter by the value you have set.
