Mail changes my email address to other account in sent mail

Mail app version 7.3 with Mavericks 10.9.4. (updated to 10.9.5 today)
I have two Gmail based accounts one personal (POP) and the other a .com (IMAP) for business use that I use in the Mail app. I've been having this ongoing problem (which started at some point with one of the updates to Mavericks) that when replying to an email or sending a new one from my personal account my own sent address changes to the business address and of course the responses are sent back to the business account (for some things I do not want that account know). It doesn't always happen but what is mystifying is that I will double check that the mailbox selected is for the personal account, fill the reply to field with the personal account address, include signature from personal account then hit send. If I look at sent mail to check, the account address will have change to being sent from the .com account. Now I have double checked preferences, tried fixes with send from selected account, send from personal account only to have the same thing happen and am at a lost short of deleting both accounts and reinstalling them. Any ideas or solutions?

I seem to have resolved the issue. After changing the server (being gmail they used the same smtp address) to reflect each account it wouldn't send out mail which may have been down to with the two step verification needing a new password which invalidates my normal gmail password and forgotten about by me. I deleted the IMAP account (to simplify things), reset the server settings for the POP account, generated the new password and once in place mail was able to be sent. I re-added the IMAP account as that reloads all the files that were deleted and it now has its own settings so we are back (touch wood) to how it use to be with no address switch on being sent. Thanks again you put me on the track in the direction I was thinking about. I like your avatar, I use to have two black cats myself.

I just got a new iPod nano, and I'm really excited about it, but I have a problem. A long time ago, I changed the email address on my account, and now all the songs from that account are gone. I don't know how to get them back. Can someone please help me?

This is really frustrating, I've been trying to get my songs back for hours

When you say "account," do you mean your iTunes library, because your iTunes library is what is on your computer? Your iTunes library does not have an email address. An account that is related to iTunes is your Apple ID (which is an email address) and you use it as your user name to sign in to the iTunes Store, to make purchases. Changing your Apple ID will not make songs disappear from your computer's iTunes library.
If you had an Apple ID and used it to make song purchases from the iTunes Store, and then started using a different Apple ID, you should be able to re-download the songs purchased with the old Apple ID. In iTunes, sign in to the iTunes Store using your OLD Apple ID (and password). That may not be your current email address, but Apple uses it as your user name, so it does not matter.
On the iTunes Store Home screen, click on Purchased under QUICK LINKS. This takes you do the Purchased screen, where you can re-download previous song purchases (for that Apple ID) at no cost.
NOTE: If those song purchases are from more than a few years ago, you may also need to authorize your computer to play (and sync) songs for your old Apple ID.
For songs that were not purchased from the iTunes Store, if they are also gone, you cannot get them back unless you have a backup (or they are still loaded on your old iPod).
If that's not what you mean by "changed the email address on my account," please post back with more details.

I need to change the email address in my account

I can't see where to change the email address in my account. The address listed is one that I no longer have access to and every time I try to change it, it tells me that the address I change it to is not available.
Where can I change the email address?

You should be able to change it at https://www.adobe.com/account/account-information.html
If not, what is the exact error message you are getting?

Can i change my email address on icloud account on phone? to email i used on new mac ?? do they need to be the same for optimal use?

Yes the Apple ID is the thing that ties your devices to you and shares your information and content between them.
If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

How can I change the email address on my account?

My account is tied to an old email address which hasn't existed for about a decade, how do I change this?

Hello Chris,
This can be done through our Apple ID site.
Apple ID: Changing the email address you use for your Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621
If your primary email address for your Apple ID does not end in @icloud.com, @me.com, or @mac.com
Note: If your Apple ID and your primary email address are currently the same, changing the primary email address will also change your Apple ID. If your Apple ID and your primary email address are different, changing your primary email address will not change your Apple ID.
Follow these steps to change the primary email address for your Apple ID:
Go to My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com), click "Manage your Apple ID," and sign in.
With the Name, ID, and Email Address drawer selected, click Edit next to Apple ID and Primary Email Address.
Enter your new email address.
Ensure that the email address you enter:
Is one that you regularly use since this will be the primary email for your account
Is a valid email address
Is not already associated with another Apple ID you have
Is not an address that ends in @mac.com. @me.com, or @icloud.com
You will be asked to verify the email address to confirm that you can access it and that it belongs to you. When you receive the verification email, click the Verify Now link and sign in using your Apple ID and password to complete the confirmation.
Cheers,
Allen

HT201342 how can i change my email address on icloud account, it is already changed on my apple id

How can I change my email address on icloud, I have already changed it on my apple id, but it still is asking for lmy old email and password and I can not back up or anything?

Hello RousePryor
If the iCloud account ends with an @icloud.com, then that is something that you cannot change it. If that is not the case, then you will need to sign out and may need to change it back to the old Apple ID to do so.

After changing my Email address on my account, iTunes lost my balance!

So we had to switch email providers. I changed my iTunes email address in my account settings. The 15.00 in my balance is now not listed at the top of iTunes, and when I purchased a song, it charged my debit card a dollar.
Any ideas? Quick fix?

everything is working now.
thank guys.

Would I be able to change my email address on my account to a old email address on an apple id I used to use?

I want to change my email address on my original apple id. But it says I can't because the email I want to change it to is being used. So i went onto the account and changed the email address to something different but It still marks it as used. Is there a way that can be changed?

The question is, did you change the email address in your existing Apple ID or did you make a new Apple ID with the new email address. if you made a new Apple ID, then you messed up. The content (free & bought) is forever tied to the Apple ID that acquired it. Onlt that Apple ID can update or redownload the content. If you made a new Apple ID you will not be able to update any of the content from the previous Apple ID unless you maintain that Apple ID. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another ID and Apple does not merge Apple IDs.

I didn't change at all! What can I do for this?

Welcome to the Apple Community..
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

I want to change the email address on my account how can I do so?

I want to change the email on my account since I lost the password to that email account. Please help

If you have a new email address then create a new mail account for that email address.
In Thunderbird:
File > New > select 'Existing mail account'
or
Menu Icon > New Messages > select 'Existing mail account'
when creating the mail account, make sure you select the type of mail account you require...Pop or IMAP
more info here:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/automatic-account-configuration?esab=a&s=new+mail+account&r=0&as=s
If you have the same email address but want to change the server it uses.
If you currently have an IMAP mail account and you are wanting to close it, you would need to get a copy of any emails into Local Folders first.
Synchronise the folder for offline use, then in offline mode get a copy of emails into Local Folders.
If you have a pop mail account, the emails are already on your computer.
To change the server, but not email address:
you will need to know your server settings first.
Thenright click on mail account name in Folder Pane and select 'Settings'
select the Server sEttings for the account
or Tools > Account Settings > Server Settings for the account
Change as necessary
server name:
Port:
Connection Security:
In the left Pane, at the bottom Select 'Outgoing Server (SMTP)
click on 'Add'
create the new outgoing server entering the server details
username: = full email address
then click on OK
then select the account in the left Pane
at the bottom on the right side:
Outgoing Server (SMTP)
click on the drop down selectionand locate the new outgoing server.
then click on OK to save changes.
