Mail in iOS 7 changes default mail account after entering addresses?

I just noticed that the Mail app in iOS 7 changes the sent from email address from my default to another account I have after entering in the send to address. When I first create the new email the correct default email address is showing (iCloud) but after I add any send to address it changes to another account (Hotmail) as the sent from account.
I checked my settings and iCloud is still set as the default account, I can click and change it before sending the email but I think this may be a bug unless there is something I missed.
Anyone else have this problem?

Oh, and just to add, whilst under Settings > Mail it does indeed state 'default mail account to use when an application outside of mail attempts to send mail'. However also when you are in the Mail app and on the main screen where you can see all your mailboxes, the Mail App also needs a 'default' account, and in my experience/opinion this is pulled from the Default account within Settings > Mail rather than which ever mailbox is top of the list within the Mail app (didnt work for me!)
But regardless, I have sent an email from an app outside of Mail and the issue is encountered:- I have my virgin.net as my default email (via Settings > Mail). I go into the Photo app, and select a photo to email. My virgin.net email is showing in the From box - so far so good. I select an email address for the To box. My From email address switches to my iCloud.com address. So this is the bug. It should not be doing this. This is the same issue it seems encountered by the original member of this thread. Anyone know how you alert Apple to bugs in their software?

Deleted mail accounts after entering sleep mode

Tried this with on line support with limited success. New experience, a problem with my Mac. Upgraded to 10.6 and then update to 6.1 without issue until Wed (9/16). I had two accounts in mail, one connected to hosted exchange, the other to Zimbra server. Both have functioned without incident until I placed the MB in sleep mode. Returned to find both accounts had been deleted and the addressbook synch for Zimbra server was also gone. Strangely the calendar synch for both still seems to work which I assume is related to CalDav. Mail wil not let me add new accounts. In addition the search feature in Finder no longer functions.
At the suggestion of Apple support I set up a Guest log-in account and found that I could create new account and synch to Zimbra again works.
No idea what step to take next.

I think only the com.apple.mail.plist file was damaged, and not the account folders in Home/Library/Mail. This probably happened when you closed the lid to put it to sleep before Mail had completed its housekeeping tasks.
More info, please.

I cannot get my e-mail to automatically enter addresses in the "TO:" box. In the past, I would get a list of e-mail recipients to appear when I typed 1 letter. That function no longer works. Do I need to change a setting or what?

Mail changes default sending account intermittently

I'm running OSX 10.6 and Mail 4.6.
The default send account designation has recently become screwy. Have changed no settings. Seems to pick an account at random. What I want to use as a default send account is at the top of the list in Accounts, as recommened. It is Gmail IMAP. Mail has changed it to a different Gmail account, but also once an SBC account. If I don't pay attention to the From line, I end up sending from the wrong account. Oddly, my iPhone has had the same problem--beginning around the same time. Don't use iCloud.

Look in Mail, Preferences, Account Information tab for each account in question and see if the option at the bottom of the page for Outgoing Mail Server 'Use only this server' is checked.
This screenshot is from Mail 6.6 and an iCloud account (OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, because I'm not on my 10.6.8 system at the moment), but I'm certain there's a similar option in Mail on OS X 10.6.8 regardless of which email type (POP or IMAP) is in use.

Changing default email account in iPhone mail

Hello,
I have initially setup my Mail with my "primary" .mac email address, but the problem is that any email I reply to on my iPhone uses that email account & alias, even if the email was sent to another email alias provided my my .mac account. This does not happen on the Mac version of Mail.
How can I either have the iPhone version of Mail use the same email alias for sent messages depending on which alias the incoming mail was sent to?
I tried changing the default email alias in Mail Settings but did not get a successful authentification. But if I can change the default email alias for sent messages, that would be OK too.
Thanks
Lex.

I've had this question for a while myself.
I do have my iPhone IMAP'd to a gmail account. In that gmail account I have set up various address that I send from, and I have setup Gmail to reply to the address an email was sent to. From within Gmail, I can set any of my addresses in the FROM field when I reply or compose an email. I am using Gmail as a funnel to catch all mail I get from various accounts, and I wish to use this Gmail funnel as my only account to check on my iPhone.
On my Mac Mail on my desktop, I can accomplish what I want by having multiple accounts setup but then setting them as OFFLINE. This prevents Mac Mail from retrieving duplicate messages from multiple accounts, but it allows me to change the address in the FROM field of any message when I reply or compose.
On my iPhone, the only way to change the address in my FROM field is to have an active account online on the phone. Once I turn an account OFF, that address is no longer available in the FROM field. And the mail that comes in from Gmail does not automatically set the FROM to be the same as the address the mail was sent to, despite having that setup at Gmail.
Is there any way to have the iPhone do what Mac Mail does, allowing me to set an address in the FROM field without having to have that address set up as an active account on the phone?
Any workaround for this?

10.10.2 changes default email account

Since the 10.10.2 upgrade mail has changed the account it selects for default when I send a message. It seems to have defaulted to the order in the system preferences internet account panel. There doesn't seem to be an easy way to drag an account to the top, and I am a little reluctant to delete and read accounts in hope that the readied accounts will go to the bottom of the list.

Hey waldhaus1,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you want to change what the default account in Mail is. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
Mac OS X: Mail - How to change the default account and "From" address
Mac OS X 10.2 and later
The "From" address for a new message will generally be the same as the "To" address of the message that is currently selected. If no message is selected, then the "From" address associated with the currently selected mailbox will be used, if there is one. Otherwise, the default "From" address will be used as described above.
Changing the send account on a per-message basis
When two or more email accounts are set up in Mail, the Account pop-up menu appears in the New Message window. You can use this menu to select an email account other than the default.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a good one,
Mario

Duplicate mail accounts after converting to icloud from mobile me

Anyone else having problems with their iPhone 4s after converting from mobile me to iCloud?
I did the conversion and everythign works, except I cannot get my old mobile me mail account to go away on my iPhone.
I've deleted it from the accounts section of settings, but I still have an old mobile me mailbox that is showing the exact same thing as my iCloud mailbox.
It's like a mirror mail account that won't go away!
I just did a complete factory reset and updated to iOS 5, but it's still showing up.

Many thanks for the suggestion, I copied the messages in the iCloud mailboxes to new boxes "On My Mac".
As suggested here I then unchecked the "Mail and Notes" item in the iCloud pane in System Prefs on the iMac, iCloud then disappeared from my mailboxes. I then unchecked the "Enable this Account' box in Mail Prefs for the Mobiel Me a/c.
After checking the "Mail and Notes" item in the iCloud pane in System Prefs the iCloud boxes reappeared in Mail. I then deleted the Mobile Me a/c in Mail.
Seems a bit of a rigmarole! but it worked!

Several G-mail accounts - Issues managing address books

I have four different G-mail accounts registered on my Q10. It is extremely frustrating that I cannot change which account address entries are tied to, or that I cannot choose what account a new entry is associated with.
Is it possible to change an existing address entry? If it is currently associated with account A, can I change it to account B?
When adding a new entry, can I dictate which Gmail account it is tied to?
Please help!

Since the contact lists are tied to the individual gmail accounts you can't move contacts from one list to another. However, when you add a new contact you will get an option to choose which account(s) to put the new contact in.
However, that option to choose is only available in OS 10.2 or higher and since you're with TMobile you probably don't have that yet. However, we can fix you up!
Follow these instructions to update your OS so that you have the contact list options you're needing. It usually takes about 30-60 minutes but can take up to two hours depending on the individual device.

Resetting Mail accounts after drive crashed. Can't send...

My drive crashed. I was able to save my data with Disk Warrior. Installed Tiger on one of two external drives, and I'm setting everything back up on it from backed up and saved files.
Mail refuses to let me send. (Receives fine) My ISP (Cable) incoming and outgoing server settings have not changed. Web mail works fine. So I know my user name/passwords are correct. Also trying to reset up my business e-mail account with server settings from our hosting service. I've triple checked user name/password/incoming and outgoing settings. Webmail works fine on this account too. Mac Mail will not receive OR send on this account. I've tried ditching the Plist file from preferences and starting fresh several times. WHAT AM I MISSING HERE? It all worked fine for years before, with the same settings. Anyone have a suggestion? Thanks!

Thanks for the reply Ernie, The first part seemed to work. I removed the authentication on the ISP provided account, and I can now send and receive from this account. (With the modem authenticating, I don't need further security measures do I?)
However, the Hosted account still refuses to allow mail coming or going through Mac Mail/Cable ISP. It says that "The POP server has rejected the password for user " ". I have tried it with the hosted smtp outgoing server selected, as well as with the ISP provided outgoing server selected. No dice. (This used to occasionally happen before my drive rebuild and switching between these outgoing servers worked. Dunno why.)
Any further light you can shed on this is truely appreciated!

How do I get Thunderbird to connect to a properly-configured Office 365 mail account after shutting down and then restarting the client?

I get my Office 365 account set up and working in Thunderbird. I can download and send mail just fine using the auto-detect or manual account settings recommended by Microsoft/Outlook/Office 365. Everything appears to be working as it should as long as the client stays open. When I shut the Thunderbird client down and restart it, it can no longer access the Office 365 mail account. I get a popup error message:
The current operation on 'Inbox' did not succeed. The mail server for account (my Office 365 account) responded: User is authenticated but not connected.
It has no problem connecting to Hotmail, Gmail and other email services, and I can access Office 365 through the web client, but Thunderbird refuses to connect. If I remove the account and re-add it, I can have full access to my email again, but only as long as Thunderbird stays open. If the client gets restarted, it's gone again.
How do I fix this?

I think you might be having a cached password problem. I was having it and was able to resolve by deleting my stored password in Thunderbird. I referenced

Accessing mail account after 2.2 update -takes me to iPhone home

Anyone else having this problem or know how it is resolved?
I have just updated and have 3 email accounts which I have never had any problem with.
Tonight (UK) after the update one of my accounts canot be accessed. When I select inbox (where there is unread mail) the email program closes and takes me to Iphone home where I can see all applications. I can access the the sent email and trash but not inbox.
Hopefully it's a quick fix as I need access to email duing the week!

So- went into mail account and switched off all mail. This meant I could get into mail (but obviously no mail visible) swithched them back on one at a time and pop email was the problem. Deleted pop account and set up again - but still same problem-says 1 mail in account (but there isn't) and when I select the 1 mail it crashes back to home page?
So 2 out of 3 accounts are working and one is locked (ntl)...
