Mail not using the correct account to reply to email

I use Gmail to fetch email from my other email accounts. Prior to Mountain Lion, whenever I replied to an email, Mail would use the correct email account to reply to. That is to say, Gmail was fetching email from [email protected], for example. When I click reply, the default account would be mail.com. But since upgrading to Mountain Lion, the default account will be Gmail.com.
Has anyone experienced this? How were you able to solve this, if at all?
Thanks in advance for your responses.

The new rule seems to be if you move an email message received on account A to a folder belonging to account B, that means the message now "belongs to" account B, and replies will come from account B. The new rule is murkier if you move a message from account A to an "On My Mac" folder and then reply to it.
I'm not saying that I like it that way, or that Apple has documented the change, just that this "new rule" seems to explain many of the "wrong reply" and "copying myself" complaints we see here on the forums. If we (users) can figure out the second half of the "new rule" ("On My Mac" folders), we might be able to explain the rest, we might be able to predict how replies will work, and we might be able to write a cogent complaint about the "new rule."

    I have a jetpack, and when I try to "connect" to my ipad or phone, it keeps telling me I am not using the correct password.  I have tried everything.  I even changed the password, nothing is working.  Both are 4G, my ipad is an Air and my phone is a Iphone 5.  I can get connected to other wifi on these features but not with my jetpack.  Please help, I need to use this feature soon.  Thank you so much

    Chances are you mis-typed a character in the Wifi password and the devices saved that information.  Now whenever you try to connect the device refers to the wrong password and the Jetpack does not accept your connection.  Tell your devices to forget the wireless connection and start over.
    Once you enter the proper WiFi credentials the Jetpack will allow you to connect.

  • 'You Are Not Using The Correct Type of Phone Cord' Error

    Having a issue with my fax on my HP Officejet Pro 8500 wireless.  Tried to send a fax, it  received a send error.  I ran fax test and it came back with "You are not using the correct type of phone cord".  Nothing has changed since I last fax'd but I check the lines and connection, everything appears ok.  Phone jack is connected to 1-line and Officejet '2-ext' is connected to the phone.  I use a dedicated phone # and the Officejet is set to auto answer.   I can call out and receive calls on the phone connect to the Officejet.  My assumption is that since I can use the phone without issue there is nothing wrong with the phone line.  Any ideas?
    This question was solved.

    I was having the same problem.  I'm using a the 2 wire phone cord provided with the printer and still getting this error.  Turns out that it related to have a phone extension plugged into the printer.  If I unplug the telephone form the extension jack on the back of the printer, then the fax test passes.   I was even using a 2 wire cord on the phone extension but it seems that simply having a telephone plugged into the extension jack will cause this error. 
    Run the test without a telephone plugged into the printer's extension jack and you should be fine.
    Worked for me!

  • How do I specify the gmail outgoing server if I have multiple gmail accounts in my mail? I have 2 business accounts and when I send mail from one account, it is sent from the other account and the sending email is not from the correct account.

    I love my apple email and do not want to use google mail on safari. However, I have 2 gmail accounts set up on apple mail, but when I send mail from one of my gmail accounts (I choose the specific gmail account in the drop down window), it actually goes out as if it is from the other gmail account. I can't have that happen because one is my job, the other is a personal business account and unfortunately, the mail from both gmail accounts want to send through the personal business account. How do I make it send from a specific gmail account? I even tried deleting the accounts and setting them up again hoping I set it up wrong in the first place, but to no avail, it is still doing the same thing except this time I set the job account up first and then the personal business account and now everything goes from the job account! The only good thing is that the incoming messages work properly and they go into the correct inbox. Somebody please fix my outbox!

    In Mail Preferences/Accounts/each GMail account, set up the SMTP Outgoing Server for each account separately, going into SMTP name/edit/Advanced and specify the Username of each account.  The Outgoing servers must be two different servers, authenticated by the Username and Password of each.
    Otherwise, the GMail SMTP server will change the from address to that of the account where the SMTP server was setup.

  • How can I configure Mac Mail to use the correct SMTP server?

    I have successfully set up Mac Mail to use a new e-mail account. Inbound and outbound mail is working just fine. However, I am seeing something odd when I create a new message or reply to an existing message. The outbound account that shows is not that which has been configured for the account. I can manually select the correct outbound account.
    What are my troubleshooting steps?

    One of the first things to check in Mail Preferences, Composing:

  • 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.

  • BUG in IMS 5.2 P 1 on Windows 2000 : not using the correct DNS servers

    Hi everyone,
    I encountered a queer bug in Ims 5.2 on Windows 2000.
    Let me explain it to all of you to avoid spending time and money debugging this problem.
    The problem may occur on Windows 2000 Server if the server used was formerly configured to obtain its IP address from a DHCP server (before using it for mail purposes).
    Windows 2000 doesn't delete its DHCP client configuration even if the machine is re-configured with a static IP.
    It stores the information in an interface registry key under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces
    If you install IMS52 after this, the server will use the DNS servers configured in the DHCP configuration rather than the ones specified in the static IP config to lookup the MXs.
    So if the nameservers configured in the DHCP config are not reachable, the smtp server will systematically fail sending outbond mails.
    To avoid this, locate the DHCP interface key in the Registry and remove it.
    Remarks :
    I know that this situation is not common but it may occur in certain occasions for people like me who are making demonstrations on clients sites.
    I'm not sure it is specifically related to DHCP rather than static config. I would say that IMS uses the first interface found in the registry (in alphabetical order) even if this interface is not active...
    A good idea is to remove completely from the registry all the interfaces keys not currently used by the system.
    Hope this will help some of you.
    Best regards,

    Interesting. Thank you for the observation. Not something I have seen, either.

  • Fmt:message not using the correct locale

    Hello,
    I have a webapp which uses struts and jstl. I use the following code snipped to display localized strings
    <%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core" prefix="c" %>
    <%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/fmt" prefix="fmt" %>
    <%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-html-el.tld" prefix="html-el"%>
    <fmt:message key="label.help"/>
    My resource file is specified in struts-config.xml as follows:
    <message-resources parameter="com.ibm.psdui.resources.PSDText"/>
    I currently have the base file PSDText.properties and a German version PSDText.properties_de.
    If I have the language setting in my browser to de, I see the German strings. However if I set the languages to en-us followed by German, I still see the German strings. It seems like fmt:message is using the wrong locale. Just out of curiosity I replaced fmt:message to bean:message and I see the right localized strings. I have to use fmt:message. Am I missing some configuration setting or something?
    Thanks in advance,
    Kumar

    BTW... fmt doesn't support Struts, that I'm aware of... it's a JSTL tag library. So it probably does what I said because I'm not sure that java.util.ResourceBundle will load the default bundle for it... or maybe it does (I forget) but it could be just looking for properties files on it's own. So I don't think that setting message-resources in the Struts config file is going to make a difference if you aren't using the bean taglib.

  • Why I am not getting the correct Account

    I want to get the account of an item from sales order. The account should be the one that from fnd_flex_values_vl with set name XX_ACCOUNT.
    This is my query:
    select
    ooh.transactional_curr_code,
    gcc.segment1, gcc.segment2, gcc.segment3, gcc.segment4, gcc.segment5 account,
    ooh.order_number so_number, ooh.header_id
    from
    mtl_parameters mp,
    gl_code_combinations gcc,
    mtl_transaction_types mtt,
    mtl_material_transactions mmt,
    mtl_system_items msi,
    ( select order_number, transactional_curr_code, ship_to_org_id, header_id from oe_order_headers_all where order_number = 12345678 ) ooh,
    oe_order_lines_all ool
    where 1=1
    and mmt.distribution_account_id = gcc.code_combination_id
    and mmt.transaction_type_id = mtt.transaction_type_id
    and mmt.organization_id = mp.organization_id
    and mmt.inventory_item_id = msi.inventory_item_id
    and mmt.organization_id = msi.organization_id
    and ooh.header_id = ool.header_id
    and mmt.trx_source_line_id = ool.line_id
    and mmt.inventory_item_id = ool.inventory_item_id

    Perhaps you mean the Sales Account defined in the item master?
    Example:
    select
    ooh.header_id,
    ooh.order_number so_number,
    ool.line_id,
    ool.line_number || '.' || ool.shipment_number as line_number,
    ooh.transactional_curr_code,
    msi.segment1 as item,
    gcc.concatenated_segments sales_account
    from
    oe_order_headers_all ooh,
    oe_order_lines_all ool,
    mtl_system_items msi,
    gl_code_combinations_kfv gcc
    where 1=1
    and ooh.header_id = ool.header_id
    and ool.inventory_item_id = msi.inventory_item_id
    and ool.ship_from_org_id = msi.organization_id
    and msi.sales_account = gcc.code_combination_id
    {code}
    I don't know what you mean with "Sales Order Account". I am not a financial specialist, but as far as I know OM does not do any accounting, just the other modules like inventory or AR. Inventory will do some "sales order issue" transaction on shipments which will get accounted (cost manager etc) and AR will generate accounts when the invoice gets created...
    And pay attention to the above query, as there might be order lines where ship_from_org_id is null, e.g. bill-only orders.

  • Why Oracle not using the correct indexes after running table stats

    I created an index on the table and ran the a sql statement. I found that via the explain plan that index is being used and is cheaper which I wanted.
    Latter I ran all tables stats and found out again via explain plan that the same sql is now using different index and more costly plan. I don't know what is going on. Why this is happening. Any suggestions.

    I just wanted to know the cost using the index.

  • Replying automatically from Mail using the main account

    Hello,
    We have just changed domains at work and have a new e-mail address. We also still have the old address that is active. I have both accounts set up in Mail but I want it so that if people e-mail the old address when I reply it replies from the new account automatically. I know I can set this manually after clicking reply, but that is a hassle and could easily be forgotten. In Entourage this is an easy feature to implement - there is a preference "Reply using the default account" - but this feature seems to missing from Mail. Is there a workaround?
    Thanks for any advice,
    John

    In Mail go to Mail Menu/Preferences/Accounts and enter the email address you want the replies to come in to in the Email Address field
