Mac Mail 2 accounts sending issue.

So my question is similar too:
Mac Mail not sending from correct account.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3863408?start=0&tstart=0
So basically, I started using mac mail about 4 months ago. About 2 months ago I deciced to add a second email to the list, my "junk" email address. Both are hotmail accounts.
When you have 2 accounts it gives you the option when you send new mail to choose from which email acccount the email will be sent from... from the drop down menu.
I started noticing that people were reciving emails from my jumk account, when i had clearly been selecting the proper account from the drop down menu. So i used that other post to check to see if my outgoing servers were correct and everything was in order. Still continued to happen.
This is where i am completely stumped.
I removed the junk account completely from the Mac Mail application. Started just accessing it through a browser. BUT I still am continueing to have the problem of people receving emails from my junk account when I send emails from the proper account using mac mail.
How do I go about fixing this? i am thinking I will have to re-install, but is there another way?
Thanks,
Steve

System Preferences / Accounts tab
Make one for each of you.
Don't use a browser to view your email. Set up the Mail application to get them.

  • Mac mail keeps sending emails from different accounts even though it says correct email in "sent" folder. Recipients reply and it goes to different email address. So confusing.

    mac mail keeps sending emails from my different accounts even though it says correct email in "sent" folder and correct email account was highlighted. Recipients reply and it goes to different email address. So confusing and annoying.

    Hi Mike,
    I had the same issue and managed to solve it.
    Go into Mail>Preferences>Accounts
    Then in the account information tab, at the bottom should be outgoing mail server (SMTP) and click the drop down box
    Mine had a few different servers in it so i went into edit SMPT server list. Click advanced and it will tell you which ones are going from which email address.
    Delete the ones you dont want, and it should work or instead of deleting click use only this server, i imagine that will work to
    Hope This Helps

  • Hi, i am having trouble with my mac mail account, i cannot send or receive any emails because of the server connection problems. Message says it could not be connected to SMTP server. Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hello Sue,
    I have an iPad 3, iPad Mini and iPhone 5S and they are all sluggish on capitalisation using shift keys. I hope that Apple will solve the problem because it is driving me crazy.
    I find using a Microsoft Surface and Windows 8 phone, which I also have, work as well as all the ios devices before the ios 7 upgrade.
    It has something to do with the length of time that you need to hold the shift key down. The shift key needs to be held longer than the letter key for the capitalisation to work. For some reason, this is a major change in the way we have learnt to touch type on computers. I am having to relearn how to type!

  • 10.5.3 Breaks .Mac Mail Account

    Upon restarting after the 10.5.3 upgrade, Mail no longer allowed me to send mail via .Mac. I have four mail accounts: Yahoo, .Mac, Google, work. Each account setting has been setup to only allow sending from the respective service (eg: .Mac can only send via .Mac mail servers). After the upgrade, though .Mac mail account pointed to a fully configured .Mac SMTP settings (no changes from before) I could no longer send mail.
    RESOLUTION
    1. Delete the .Mac mail account setting in Mail
    2. Add a new .Mac mail account setting in Mail
    3. Reconfigure the .Mac mail account setting to send ONLY using the .Mac SMTP service

    In my case, mail is continuously polling the .mac account, waiting for a connection. The other four accounts (both Pop and IMAP) are behaving normally. And when I log into webmail, everything is fine. And the iPhone is also connecting without issue.

    Lord K.  Thank you. Yes I am within the 90 time period, however I travel Intertionally and I can not receive not make a call to Apple. I was just at the Genius Bar in Chicago and they said, don't worry about it.  It just floats out there, however, I can not recover my messages on a flash drive. I need to go back to my old computer which I don't have with me.  My messages were in folders for a lawsuit.  It is going to take an incredible amount of work for me to, you have no Idea.  We are talking thousands of pages!  I the defendent will have them during discovery so I am not so worried.  However, I can not bring them to him on a Flashdrive when I meet with him without an extraordinary amount of presssure on my part.  THis is not just some little email issue. This is suing EXPEDIA and Tripadviosr.com

  • Accessing my .mac mail account from 3 different ways. What stays on server?

    I access the mail on my .mac mail account (on the .mac mail server) three different ways.
    My laptop uses the Mail application and downloads new messages that are not filtered out as spam. Downloaded messages should not be automatically deleted from the server - at least I don't think they are. They were all erased at one point. Maybe my error. But not now. at least since 4/2/08.
    Why?
    Because later in the day I may want to access my account email from a remote computer via the .mac account page on any browser I might be using. I'd want it all to be there.
    Or I may want to download my email to my Palm Treo 700P using Versamail and read and respond to my email that way. I certainly would not want email downloaded to my Treo erased from the server because I would want to access that same email to store on my Mail account on my laptop when I return to the office.
    How do I coordinate among all 3?
    I think I would like all mail put in the trash via my Mail application on my desktop to be erased from the server after - say - 2 weeks. That's it. Only via the Mail application.
    Never via the Treo and Versamail.
    Never via my .mac account email application via a browser on another computer.

    You can access a .Mac account as an IMAP or POP account.
    If you access your .Mac account as an IMAP account with the Mail.app on your Mac, and as an IMAP account with your Palm Treo, all server stored mailboxes will be kept synchronized with the server automatically with both email clients used, and when accessing the account via webmail using a browser.
    You can store the account's Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk mailboxes on the server with the Mail.app, and you should be able to do the same with the Palm Treo's email client.
    Send a message via the account with the Palm Treo, and the sent message will be available in the account's Sent mailbox automatically when checking the account with the Mail.app on your Mac, and when checking the account via webmail using a browser, and vice-versa.
    An IMAP account is designed to be accessed with an email client on multiple computers or devices. A POP account is designed to be accessed with a single email client on one computer or device.
    With an IMAP account, messages in all server stored mailboxes remain on the server until deleted, or until moved to a mailbox stored locally on your computer. All received messages will remain on the server in the account's Inbox mailbox - available when checking the account with the Mail.app, and when checking the account with your Palm Treo, and when checking the account via webmail. Read a received message with the Mail.app that is not deleted, and the message will be marked as read when checking the account with your Palm Treo, and vice-versa.

  • How do I stop Mac Mail from sending an unauthorized "out of office" message to a few, not all, my associates

    How do I stop Mac Mail from sending an unauthorized "Out off Office" reply to several, not all, of my associates emails?  Only happens with me.com mailbox, not Earthlink.  Am not getting some important e-mail from brokerage and business associates.

    If Earthlink is unaffected it is probably a settimg in me.com.  Log into me.com account in a browser such as Safari (will get icloud.com) and select the settings (gear) icon bottom left, and then click on the airplane icon. Make sure vacation setting is unchecked.

    I made the fatal mistake of allowing iCloud to handle my @mac mail account.
    I had set this address up with aliases and never had a problem.
    Ever since iCloud has been handling it I have had problems.
    It seams impossible to claim my account back from iCloud. How can it be achieved or has Apple set a booby trap?

    iCloud is the successor to MobileMe. MobileMe shuts down forever tomoorrow.
    If you only want to use the email portion of your previous MobileMe account you can. You do not have to use all the other features of iCloud, just like you didn't have to use all the other features of MobileMe.
    The email account has not really changed at all. Just the server address it comes from.
    The sending emails problem you are having, is this on your Mac in Mail, in webmail at iCloud.com or on your iOS device?
    When it doesn't succeed in sending, what does it do? Any error message?
    What mail server settings are you using in Mail? What version of Mac OS X are you using?

  • HT2500 How does one set up an .mac mail account?

    One of our MSN Hotmail accounts has been hacked, and a friend (who has an Apple .mac account) has suggested that we should be using .mac mail accounts but I cannot find out how to set one up. Do I have to go down to the Apple store to find out or . . . . I must be able to do this online?

    Sign up for iCloud or use a service such as Gmail.

    Hello,
    You can't upgrade to any faster, & especially not to an Intel CPU needed to run Lion/10.7 for full iCloud usage.
    You can have limited use of iCloud the way it is, you can view all of iCloud in a Browser, You can use Find my Phone I hear, & you can use IMAP Mail for syncing, but no other syncing.

  • HT4847 I am using OS 10.4.11 and since being asked to submit to the iCloud my .mac mail account has barely functioned. What must I do to regain functionality?

    I am, since submitting to the iCloud, having many problems with my .mac mail account. What's up?

    First question: did you migrate your MobileMe account to iCloud before 1 August? If so, then you can access your iCloud email (though no other facilities) on Tiger by following these instructions:
    Entering iCloud email settings manually in Tiger
    If you did not migrate you can reactivate the address (though not its previous contents) but you cannot do this on Tiger: you would need access to a Lion Mac or an iOS5/6 device.

  • When I am sending one message, mac mail shows sending several (6 last time), is it virus?

    when I am sending one message, mac mail shows sending several (6 last time), is it virus?
    mac mail also freezes from time to time and closes for no reason

    It is not a virus. It's a bug in Mail that fails to reset that count, so it keeps incrementing each time you send a message. When it says it's sending 6 messages, that really just means you're sending the 6th message since you last opened Mail.

  • If I have a mac mail account why do I have to change to i-cloud?

    If I have a mac mail account why do I have to change to i-cloud?
    Will it cease to work on 30 June, and if so do I have to buy leapord and then lion, updgrade and re-sync/lose a number of things?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Yes, if you do not migrate from your MobileMe account to iCloud you will lose access to all your services after June 30, 2012.
    Lion (10.7.2 or better) is required for iCloud. If you have a MobileMe account Apple are giving you Snow Leopard free of charge, this will install the App Store on your computer from where you will be able to purchase and upgrade to lion.
