Mac mail wont send from new address

I wonder if anyone can help me...I recently purchased a mac mail address for my girlfriend and i set it up. (anyone who has done this before will know that all you have to do is put your username and password in to set the @mac address up and all the rest is done for you). However, i can not send mail to her new address, nor can i send anything from her address. I can though send her mail on me.com, and i can also send and receive me.com mail from her mac. I have no idea what is going on. HEELLPP!!

I recently purchased a mac mail address
Are you sure it's a .Mac address, or is it a MobileMe address?
i can not send mail to her new address
Are you trying to send mail to that address from a different address, or from her own address?
What are the specific settings for the account (Incoming and Outgoing servers, port numbers for each, authentication method, and SSL status)?

Outgoing Mac Mail always send from the same address?

Hey y'all -
I use 3 gmail accounts through mac mail for 3 different purposes - all fine. But when I send mail, regardless of what account I send it from, recipients always recieve my emails from the same address? E.G. I send an email from addresses 1 or 2, but when they are received they are from address 3? I've also removed address 3 from mac mail, but recipients STILL see address 3 as the sender. Can anyone help? Would a reinstall of mail be appropriate, if so what would be the effective way to go about it?
Thanks in advance,
Stu

SOLVED IT!
Right, I had multiple email accounts, all gmail, address 1 2 & 3.
All mail went to the right addresses, fine. But when I compose, lets say from address 1 or 2, it ALWAYS ends up being received the other end by address 3. I only find this out until I get a reply delivered to the wrong address.
SO go to preferences, select one of the problematic addresses, then outgoing mailserver (SMTP:) in this case it will say Gmail. Click it so you get the drop down and edit SMTP list. There is a tab that says advanced. This is where I noticed the problem. On my list of SMTP servers I had one for my microsoft account, and then one Gmail one for all 3 gmail accounts. And what did I find for authentication? the username and password of the problem address that ALL my gmail accounts were sending through. You need to create SEPERATE smtp servers for each and every account, especially when using multiple accounts of the same kind (e.g. 3 gmails!)
This fixed the problem for me perfectly and now my emails send from the CORRECT selected address. HOORAH!
ALSO...
Regardless weather it by gmail or hotmail you compose from, mac defaults to using the next working server. Before setting up seperate smtp servers for each gmail I just deleted the one that was there and then it started sending from microsoft account etc... just to clarify that it works regardless of account type!

Mail not allowing me to send from new Address

My email got migrated over to a new host.
The original host was a pop3. the new host is an imap.
I set the new account up on Mail, it checks out perfectly, all settings verified when I created it. receiving email perfectly but... when I go to send a new email, it only shows my old email account in the "from" drop down menu. I edited the smtp server list and even removed my old account. I also deleted my com.apple.mail.plist and let it reset the preferences... still no luck. My new account does not show up in the drop down "from" menu, no mater what I try, so all my new emails are showing up in my old account's sent folder. anyone had any issue or solution for this?
thanks

The new account is provided by Media Temple.
all the settings are correct, i do know that for a fact, same settings are working perfectly on my iphone.
The old account and the new account are the same exact email address. the email along with my website was migrated from Hostway, to Media Temple.
I have 4 accounts going into my Mail now. the original one with this name, which emails I simply cannot afford to lose so I did not delete the account. and 2 others. all of which I can see when I compose a new message in the "from" drop down menu. The only one I do not see, is the brand new one that is the same email address as my first, but with completely different settings. Maybe the simplest thing to do is to go change the settings on the original account to the new settings. I was just afraid that doing so may wipe the emails from the old account. Simply because the new imap won't see those on its server and think they don't exist... am I incorrect in that?

Mac Mail not sending from correct account.

I constantly use Mail to send and receive emails on my MacBook.
On it I have three email 'accounts' - my me.com address (for formal emails to work, banks etc.), my "junk" address (for spam, gaming etc.) and my "home" address (for personal emails and everything else).
When typing an email, if I choose to send it from a different account than the one I originally selected, I can just change it in the 'From' pop-down menu (under the 'To', 'Cc', 'Bcc' and 'Subject' fields).
Recently though, for some reason when I want to send an email from my "home" address, it sends it from my "junk"one instead, even if I am sending it 'From' my "home" address.
It still has my "home" address' signature, and not every time it does send from my "junk" one instead - rather it seems to send from both as it feels up to.
This bothers me quite a bit, especially when I send an important email using my "home" address but it sends from my "junk" - both confusing and annoying me and the recipients.
This only just started happening to me this past week. Does anyone else have the same issue, and any help would be greatly appreciated

Some mail servers such as gmail will change the address when sending from one account through another account's server.
Go into Mail's preferences under Accounts. Highlight each account and make sure the correct outgoing server is listed for that account with the correct user name and password. Each account should have their own. Check the box to use only that server with that account. Do this for all accounts.
If you don't check the box and the server fails, it will move on to the next one in the list. Then you will get the address from that server even though you're sending from a different account.
If the server does fail, you will get a selection box to try again or select another server.

Hi Tim,
Who is your eMail provider, the part after the @ sign?
In Mail's Window Menu, choose Connection Doctor, any red dots for status, if so what is the message?
Then click the Show Details button & Check again.
Mail: Can't send messages, "Cannot send message using the server smtp.xxxxx.com" alert appears...

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

TS3276 Does anyone know the YAHOO authentication method and port? I recently installed the new OSX 10.8.2 software and my mac mail wont work.

Does anyone know the YAHOO authentication method and port? I recently installed the new OSX 10.8.2 software and my mac mail wont work.

Hello,
I have no idea what you're talking about, however my Mail stopped working when I
had to add a new e-mail address for my Hotmail account.
My new Hotmail address works, and seems to get e-mail from the old e-mail address,
which from I've read behaves as a "default" address for the old address.
Apple Mail is linked to my Hotmail account of the old e-mail address.
I no longer know my old password.
Apple Mail will not accept my new password for ny new Hotmail account.
Can someone help me solve this problem WITOUT COMPLICATED SOLUTION!
As I said I have no idea what a port, or SSL or authentication is!
If you do answer,please answer in vert simple steps that are easy to follow, and donlt make matters worse.
Thanks,
SB

Probably incredibly simple question, so sorry. I have just changed e-mail after many many years and I want to e-mail everyone in my mac mail client with the new e-mail address at the same time.

If you are using Address Book, open it, create a new Group, select all you contacts by click the top one while holding down the shift key and then select the last one. Drag the contacts to the group, then send an e-mail to the group.

Since installing Mountain Lion my Safari will not access my contacts list when wanting to forward an e-mail or send a new one. Why?

Since installing Mountain Lion I am unable to access my contacts list in Safari to forward an e-mail or send a new one. The Insert contacts link above the address box is not active and will not access the Contacts List. How can I fix this?

Can you open Contacts and edit, insert, and delete cards, or does it fail to work, also?
Try the steps I outline here: Re: After Lion upgrade, my addressbook does not work++

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.
