Mail opens inbox of non-default account

I upgraded to OS4.
When I open the Mail app it goes to the Inbox of one of my accounts that is not my default account. How do I make the main screen of the Mail app appear when I open it?
Thanks!

Hi,
I've the same problem. I thought it always opened in my default account (but this happens to be the first account). When I change the default account, it still opens in the inbox of the first account.
If it is still "open" in the "most-recently used" bar, it opens in the last location I left it. Doesn't matter if I open from the most-recently used bar or the normal dock.
As I try to close a s many apps as possible to save my battery, most of the times when I open mail, it goes to the inbox of my first account. And a lot of the time, this is not where I want to be.
Very annoying, hope there will be a solution for this soon!

IOS 8 Bug: In Mail the sender account defaults back to last account from which an e-mail was sent overriding the default account setting

I cannot get over it ... how can a company that designs such wonderful hardware write such poor software? Apple should really feel ashamed. Anyone Windows-bashing should realise that computing is about more than just fancy screen backgrounds. I am so sick of this.
Anyway - here is my latest bug report (which as an IT professional I should charge Apple my time for):
When you access multiple mail accounts from your iPhone (iOS 8.2 12D508) you need to specify a default mail account. This is (or at least used to be in working implementations of this feature in previous iOS versions) the mail account that mails will be sent from unless the user selects another account.
The problem in the current iOS version is: After sending a mail from a non-default account, the next mail will also be sent from the same non-default account rather than from the actual default account. The incorrect sender account gets selected after picking a mail recipient.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Send an e-mail from a manually selected non-default mail account on your iPhone.
2. Start composing another e-mail. Initially, the correct default account is shown as sender account.
3. Now select a recipient address.
==> This is when the sender mail account reverts to the last e-mail account that a mail was sent from (in our case the non-default account).
Temporary Work-Around:
When the sender account reverts to the non-default account, manually select the default account again.
Apple, please go and do your homework! Fix this annoying bug. Thank you.

I can't see anything genuine about it!
Since the link to the Apple id: Tips for... actually says it goes to a site named "bingo", I think it's quite clear that this is a phishing email, designed to get you to click on and go to their site, not an Apple one. I hope you have not clicked on the link.
It is not a good idea to put your own persoanl information in a post on a public forum. I will ask our hosts to remove it and the link. Don't be surprised if they remove the entire thread.

Apple Mail open FLAGGED folder by default, NOT Inbox

I have that issue for a while but would like to fix it
Every time i start Apple Mail, it open the Flagged folder not the default INBOX folder
can someone has some input ?
deleted the .plist
deleted the "Saved Application State" content
nothing's changed
Thx
Denis

Thank you TomJones75. When I posted this initially, I was running iOS 6.1.3 and not iOS 7. I don't think editing the order of the inboxes was an option back on iOS 6.1.3. With your tip, I was able to re-order my inboxes but it still defaults to the Exchange account when opened.
I.e. first account listed under mailboxes is now an Outlook account and the 2nd is an Exhannge account. Mail still defaults to the Exhange account even though the Outlook is my default email address for the iPhone.
Good tip though! Thanks!

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

Apple Mail: Email not sending from default account

Note: Default email send worked fine in Mavericks. The issues seems to be new in Yosemite.
I have 3 emails accounts: Exchange, Gmail, Yahoo. In that order. They are placed in that order in the Accounts section of Apple Mail. They are also placed in that order in the mailbox listing under Inbox in mail.
When creating a new email, the top account, Exchange, is rarely chosen as default. Either Gmail or Yahoo are chosen...and occasionally Exchange. I send 90% of my mail from the Exchange SMTP server; now forced to manually change the outbound Account within the mail message itself almost every time.
Again, this is a brand new issue in Yosemite where it doesn't appear to recognize the default account to send email from in Mail.
Anybody else seeing this?

Hi Will, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Tough to tell what you've tried, is this one you've tried...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.

Acrobat/CS5.5 won't open from a non-Administrator account

I have an intermittent problem that occurs when I double-click a .pdf file from a non-Administrator account. Acrobat.exe shows up as an active process in Task Manager, but Acrobat never actually launches or opens the file. My administrator doesn't have this problem from his account on the same computer. This is an intermittent problem that occurs about 70% of the time I try to open a .pdf. I am also unable to launch Acrobat from the Start menu when I am experiencing the problem. I am running Windows 7. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I completed all of the recommendations and I am still having this problem. I'm going to completely uninstall all Adobe products and re-install again. Is there any recommended steps for a complete uninstall?

E-mailing Revel albums to non-Revel account recipients

The FAQ and Pattie F's answer to another user's question about sharing albums state that to share an album with a non-Revel account holder, all that is required is to send the album link to the user and the user will then be able to click on the link and see the album. What actually happens is that the user is asked to sign in through a linked account - Revel, Facebook, or Google. The user cannot apparently simply click on the album link and view the photos. If this in fact is required, the FAQ is inaccurate and misleading and the sharing function is much more restrictive than photshop.com where any e-mail recipient could view albums without having to sign in through any linked account. Please clarify. Thanks.

I've tested it a few times, and it appears to work as advertised. I wonder if the lengthy URL string got corrupted somehow in your case; with this new scheme of Adobe (copying lengthly strings to e-mails), wouldn't be a hard thing to do. The Revel URL is in the first part of the lengthy string, and so I can see user getting diverted to the base URL -- where of course one does have to sign in.
As I posted in a reply earlier this year...
On a slide note, I tried the method of sharing an album on PC as described in the Adobe FAQ, and it worked pretty well. Two minor things I'd add: (1) You have to first click the URL field before the copy, and (2) the URL includes two non-functional characters at the end (#!) that can be deleted from the e-mail.
Just be sure you don't accidently change anything else in the string.

Using BT Mail smtp server for non-bt account

Having recently discovered the hard way that I was migrated (and had no BT e-mail for 3 days), I have now discovered that all the authorisations I had set up for sending of e-mail fwith the senders address being a non-bt account have gone.
The help files point me in the direction of setting up BT Mail to get non-bt mail for me. This is not what I want. All I need is to authorize andrew@******.org.uk as an authorised user on my BT account. Thunderbird is quite capable of getting the mail from mail.****.org.uk with POP3. I just need to be able to use the BT smtp server for outgoing mail only.
Help Please

Appears to be working again with andrew@******.org.uk
I guess it was just a glitch.

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!

Mail: How to reinstate a default account Mailbox that was removed in error?

Dear Forum,
A friend of mine seems to have unwittingly removed a default Mailbox (as opposed to a user created Mailbox). In Mail>Preferences>Account Information, the account is still there and is enabled, but it's not showing up in the Mailboxes column of Mail for some reason.
Having tried a few suggestions over the phone I now think that the only solution might be to delete the account properly and create it afresh which should cause it to reappear in the default Mailboxes column. It doesn't seem to be possible to create a fresh account with the same account details, the process stalls. Provided the newly created account is given the same name as the previous Mailbox it should be possible to restore all the previous emails I think.
I'll be visiting in a few days and will try and fix it then in person but this question is posed here incase anyone knows a simpler way that I could advise my friend over the phone.

Hi BD,
Thanks for taking time to reply.
I just had a go at your suggestion, using my own Mac which is running the same version of Mail as my friend.
Just as my friend described it to me when I tried to talk her through this process over the phone, when trying to add a new account it says the hostname and user account are already in use, and so the process stalls at that point.
I must be doing something wrong because I don't get Name/Description or step 2 that you refer to in your answer.
I'm trying to add an account via the Mail>File>Add Account and also via Mail>Preferences>Accounts>Account Information, and then clicking the plus symbol below the Accounts column. Am I in the right place?
What I get is an Add Account pane which asks for Full Name, Email Address and Password but clicking continue afterwards stalls the process, as described above, even when I put in a different full name. I also tried adding an account manually instead of automatically but once the email and password are entered the process ends up stalled again as described.
Any other thoughts you might have would be greatly appreciated.
Its a POP account and emails are saved on the server, not deleted.

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,

ok, believe what you want. I'm not being rude but i can't help you with what you won't accept as a standard function. It's not OS6. I can have a friend much more edumacated in BES to look over this thread. I don't think I'm wrong here, but it certainly won't be the first time.

CANT OPEN END POINT NON DEFAULT PORT

Hi,
I have issues with opening end point port 2121 for FTP?
This is steps what I did:
1. create end point for 2121 port in azure public/private add ACL 0.0.0.0/0
2.in windows 2012 firewall create rule to allow 2121 port
3.test local port (working)
4. test public port not working
Please help, how can I open public 2121 port. so I can access to FTP server on 2121 port ?
Edin Muharemagic

Hi,
It pretty much looks like you are following the correct steps. Also I have reproduced the same scenario in my lab and it very much works.
However I suggest you to try the following :
Disable the firewall and check if you are able to access
Delete and Recreate the Endpoints
You might want to refer to the below article to know more about setting up FTP server on Azure VM

Mail Always Opens to Default Account

Whenever I open the mail application, it opens to the inbox of my default account and not the main screen showing all inboxes. While this may not seem like a big deal, it does create an extra step in that I have to go back one screen to get to "All Inboxes."
I've checked the settings and am not sure how to eliminate this issue. I am running iOS5 on the iPhone 4S.
Thanks in advance.
Russell

Exact same problem here. iPhone 4S with ios5. Always opens to top email accoutn in list, not default account, and not "All Inboxes" which would be preferred. Have seen a few suggestions but no solutions. Anyone?

Why does Mail open in guest account but not my account since upgrade to Mavericks?

I've read a lot of threads but not found anything that works for me. The history is this:
I've upgraded to Mavericks 10.9.2. Since then, Mail won't open in my own user account. I only get a very brief error message:
Process:
Mail [1448]
Path:
/Applications/Mail.app/Contents/MacOS/Mail
Identifier:
com.apple.mail
Version:
7.2 (1874)
Build Info:
Mail-1874000000000000~1
Code Type:
X86-64 (Native)
Parent Process: launchd [157]
Responsible:
Mail [1448]
User ID:
I have gone to user/Library/Mail and deleted the contents of the folder Mailboxes + all the other mailboxes. No change - Mail still won't open.
If I switch user accounts to guest user, Mail opens normally (sets up email accounts etc).
Any advice would be much appreciated.

Rebooted in safe mode, repaired disc permissions, rebooted (again in safe mode) but no difference.
There was a bit more detail I could / should have added.
1) Before it crashes, Mail says it is Upgrading your Mail database.
2) I downloaded Mail update but Installer said none of the drives were compatible. (Anyway Mail works fine in Guest Account)
3) I've been through all the tips on this post https://discussions.apple.com/message/23490745#23490745http://
and
looked at Internet accounts in Preferences and none of my email accounts is checked with Mail. It asks for a password for each one but when I provide it I get the message Unable to verify account name or password. And if I try and uncheck iCloud with Mail I get the message that I need to do that from within Mail. (Obviously not possible until I can open Mail).
In Terminal tried defaults delete com.apple.mail ColorQuoterColorList but got the message that it hadn't been done.
Tried to find Envelope.x.x files as per this fix:     Final solution: Go into ~Library/Mail/V2/Mailboxes > Delete all mailboxes. Then go to ~Library/Mail/V2/Maildata and delete 3 or more "Envelope.x.x" files > Restart Mail, and enjoy your success.     but don't have a V2 folder nor Envelope.x.x files. I do have Envelope Index file and Envelope Index - journal
I don't suspect 3rd party applications because I think they are all available in the Guest Account aren't they?
Many thanks for your reply though. Any more ideas?

IPhone Only Sends Mail From Default Account After 1.1.1 Update

I just noticed that no matter which account I use to send an email in the iPhone mail app, the email is sent from my default account. I have Yahoo, Gmail, and .Mac accounts, and they all function properly (i.e, they can all send and receive, view folders, etc.) When I change the default account to any of these accounts, all of my mail is sent from that account--including replies and forwards to messages in a non-default account. I don't think this occurred before the 1.1.1 update, but it's possible I never noticed it until now.
As you can imagine, changing the default account each time I need to send an email from a different account is frustrating. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
wolf2004

I noticed the same issue today, it was not like that before. I tested it prior to the update. I have yet to find a way around this besides switching the default account.
