Mail only being sent from NON-default account

I have two email accounts set up on my iPhone. One is a POP account - work email hosted by Earthlink; the second is a personal email account on Gmail. For months I've been able to send email from either account. The POP/work email account is designated as the 'Default' account.
Recently though, when I am in my POP/work email account and I reply to a recently received email in that account, I am able to reply to the email but the recipient receives my reply from my Gmail/personal email account. Again, this a reply I've sent while in my POP/work email account, AND my POP/work email account is even set as the 'Default' email account. Yet, replies are being sent from my Gmail/personal email account.
The same thing happens when I draft new emails (not replying to message from someone else) - when I draft them from my POP/work account, they are received by intended recipient but show that they came from my Gmail/personal account and therefore all replies to my emails are sent to my Gmail/personal account.
Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks in advance.

You are undisputedly THE Man/Woman! Essentially you solved it for me. Following your tip, I checked the SMTP settings of my work email account on my iPhone and somehow (don't know how) they had gotten deleted. In turn, somehow, that was having all mail go through the remaining functioning out-bound mail on my iPhone which was through my Gmail account. In some ways that is weird, but not a bad resilient capability by the iPhone to still send the mail using the other email account info.
Thanks again. I really appreciate you taking the time to post your thoughts. And I REALLY appreciate you being correct!
Best,
Tom

  • I have 3 email accounts in Mail on Macbook Pro.  Mail is only being sent from 1 account.

    I have 3 email accounts in Mail.  Mail is only being sent from 1 account, even though I select one of the other accounts in the "from" field.  In my sent box, the "From" field says the accout I selected, but all recipients say they receive it from a different account.  I set my composing preferences "send new messages from" to the main account, but all my mail is still being sent from a different account.  I cannot see that this is happening, only people receiving it can.  I noticed it because when they reply, it goes to a different account than what I sent to them.  Any suggestions with what I should do?

  • Mail always being sent from first account

    When I click "reply", my mail always goes out from my eathlink account, even if the original email came in on my website account. I have to manually change it, to have it go out from website account.
    How can I set the default so all my mails now are sent from my web account automatically?
    Thanks

    Hello Mimi.
    Have you created and are accessing your website email account as a separate email account in Mail or are you forwarding messages received by your website email account to your Earthlink email account?
    If you are accessing your website email account as a separate email account in Mail, when hitting reply for a message received by your website email account, the website email account should be used by default as the sending email account.
    With all Mail.app versions prior to Tiger Mail, there is not a default email account selection used when selecting New to compose a new message.
    When selecting New to compose a new message with Jaguar or Panther Mail, the default email account used is based on the current mailbox selected in the Mailboxes drawer. If you have your website email account's Inbox or Sent mailbox selected in the mailboxes drawer when selecting New to compose a new message, the website email account will be chosen as the sending email account automatically.
    When "In" or "Sent" or a user created "On My Mac" mailbox is selected in the mailboxes drawer (without an account's mailbox selected), the default account used when selecting New to compose a new message is the first account listed in the Account's pane or list at Mail > Preferences > Accounts. If you are accessing multiple/separate accounts in Mail, you can select/drag the chosen account in the Account's pane or list to the top of the list to be listed first.
    Tiger Mail includes a default "Send new mail from" account selection preference when selecting New to compose a new message regardless which mailbox is selected in the Mailboxes drawer but when selecting reply or forward for a message received by an email account, the default account used is the account the message was received by.

  • Email sending from non-default account

    I have an iPhone4 running 4.3.1. I have two email accounts set up - a Yahoo (POP) account and a GMail (IMAP) account. The Yahoo account is set as default but I have just discovered that when I send a new email it is being sent from the GMail account, not from the default account. Iam fairly sure taht this has only started happening recently. Has anyone any idea what is causing this please?

    I've solved this one! I had a new phone a week ago and restored it from iTunes. After the restore it is necessary to re-enter passwords and I forgot about the password in the SMTP definition for the default (yahoo) account. The non-default (Gmail) account didn't have a password in the SMTP definition so the iPhone cleverly decided if it couldn't send from the default account, it would send from the other one!

  • Emails that I send from my yahoo account are being sent from my gmail account - I checked to see in Mail preferences if I had set gmail as my preferred server ( I had not).  This has happened on my iMac and Macbook Pro - both running on Yosemite.

    Emails sent from my Yahoo account are arriving from my Gmail account?! How? This has only started happening today.

  • There are unauthorised emails being sent from my emails accounts. This started recently following my iOS update to 5.0.1. Is this an iCloud hacking issue?

    There appears to be emails being sent out to random contacts from my shared address book with dubious content none of which were sent by me. I believe this was sent by unauthorised hacker from iCloud as the contacts are not even in my personal contact list, but came from my wife's contact list which have been shared via iCloud. Is there security breach issue with iCloud?

    I have the same situation (there seems to be lots of emails sent through my Icloud account. I don't see those emails in my "sent" folder, but I can see plenty of email (Chinese spam emails) bounced back into my account stating that I have exceded the sending limits. I cannot send anything either from my account (of course, the sending limit is alwasy exceeded). I have also changed twice my password, but the issue remains.
    Any clues?
    I am really surprised at this. I was from the begining with .Mac, and never had any issue during all these years. This is now with Icloud, which should be safer and better  :-(

  • Why is email not being sent through my default account?

    When I send it email it is sent through a gmail account that I have set up only to get calendar information.  I deleted the gmail account then restarted the device, but still got the same result when I tried sending the another email.  How do I change this?

        Hi Marrelam!
    Oh my! I am sorry to hear that your device is not sending emails. I know how important this feature is, and I will certainly get this resolved for you. Is this only your MSN account that is not sending mail? Have tried using gmail?  There is an Hotmail application in the Google Play Market that can be downloaded as well. You can also check the Outgoing E-mail settings on the device to make sure you have the correct setup of the email account:
    Outgoing Mail Server Name: smtp.live.com
    port 587 (either SSL or TLS depending on client being used)
    Username requires full email address (e.g. [email protected])
    Password is the Windows Live ID password.
    Keep us posted!
    Thanks,

  • Why aren't my iphone emails being sent from my default email address. Is anyone else having this problem?

    I have my iphone email default setting to my primary email address however when I send or respond to emails they are sent from my secondary email address even if I de-activate the secondary email address. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to correct this?

    Are you sending from All Inboxes, or the inbox for the account the message was received in? I cannot duplicate your problem with either approach; my mail is always sent with the FROM address of the account that a Reply came to, or, for a new message, the inbox that was open at the time. It doesn't matter which SMTP server I use.
    When composing a new message or a reply tap once on the BCC/FROM field; you can then tap on the From address and choose any of your email addresses for the FROM field. Does this let you change it?

  • Compose from non default account

    I have 2 email accounts, a corp account and an internet account. When I review emails in the internet account and then compose an email, the blackberry now populates the send using field with the default corporate account. That's new behavior of the BIS according to my ATT support contact. I can't go back to the previous behavior where it just populated the send using field with whatever account I was reading at the time. Anyone know of a workaround? It's a pain to change the send using field every time I write an email from my internet account.
    Thanks,

  • Spam email being sent from my AOL account

    Hi All
    I know there are a lot of posts on this, I have had a look through but nothing seems to mach my circumstances.
    Early this morning I received a few email failure notifications to emails I didn't send.
    I checked my sent items and sure enough I had 14 new items that I didn't send.
    I was using my macbook at the approximate time the emails were sent and it was acting strange, I tried to close the lid to put it to sleep but it stayed on. I tried a couple more time and it eventually did.
    The odd thing is the email addresses that have been emailed are definitely ones I have used in the past but years before I even had my mac, so I don't think its a virus on my machine as the addresses don't exist anywhere on it (history or address book), not all email addresses in my local address book where emailed so it looks like the virus has used email addresses from my AOL history (I don't use an address book within AOL if such a thing exists)
    So I am confused as to where the virus is running, it hasn't just used my email address as the from field because I recognise most of the addresses it emailed but as I said from years before I even had my Macbook. But also as I said my Macbook was acting strange at the approximate time the emails were sent.
    It seems very unlikely that AOL themselves have a virus (but I have contacted them also to be sure).
    Any suggestions?
    I am runnning 10.6.6 on a 2010 Macbook. Email client is Mail.
    Many thanks

    Hi. Ive had the same thing happen to me. Ive finally got round to deleting all of my emails and on the 17th April around midnight 'I' sent loads of emails to people only it wasnt me! A few of them had been returned unsent to me but quite a few went through. I checked my sent box and it is some bloke from China advertising his Ebay business and his website!!!  After that night my email returned to normal.The only thing that strikes me as weird though is that day/night is when all of the ps3 details got stolen and we have recently brought a ps3 and given most of our details. Maybe this is all related?  Shelley

  • When I email myself a picture from my iphone 4s, the email is sent from an email account that I don't have set up as the default account. How can I set it up so that the emails are coming from the default account selected in Mail?

    Under my mail tab, it shows that I have a specific email account set up as a default account. That is the account I would like for me emails to be sent from. But when I actually send out an email such as a picture, it is being sent from one of my different email accounts that is not set up as the default. How can I change this so that future messages will be sent from the default account? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!!

    All photo attachments received or sent with the iPhone's Mail app appear inline or viewed in place within the body of the message when viewed with the iPhone's Mail app which is the same with the Mail.app on a Mac. A photo attachment that appears inline or viewed in place does not mean the photo was not sent as a true attachment to the message. A photo attached to a message with the iPhone's Mail app is sent as a true attachment to the message. How an inline or viewed in place attachment appears on the recipient's end depends on the recipient's email client. If the recipient's email client does not support viewing an attached photo inline or viewed in place within the body of the message, the attached file must be manually selected and opened to viewed.
    I am getting the email with the Picture Inline ( not as attachment),The picture is shown distorted , no metter what i do and with what mail client i am using (Gmail\Hotmail\My Enterprise exchange mail), i still get the same behavior.
    With which email client?

  • HT4519 Default email is set but emails are being sent from another account

    I have set up my email accounts on my iPad and set the default email as my home email. I have just noticed that all emails sent from my iPad are being sent from a different account.  What am I missing?

    Edit the address book entry to uncheck use display names. If you want to disable it completely Tools menu (Alt+T) > options > advanced >reading and Display and turn off the use of display names.
    You never had this issue with Outlook.... The question is what did the recipient see, not what did you see. If they did not use Outlook there is a good chance they saw what was in their address book. You can address your mail as sent by "Very Important person from Very Profitable Company" If I add you to my address book as "The Goblin" I see "The Goblin" This is because Thunderbird places control in the hands of the user. Outlook does not. Note the Multiple ways to view a message body on the view menu.
    I get your frustration, but your no longer using Outlook. Outlook is an excellent exchange client. I find it actually does email badly.
