Mail sending from WRONG EMAIL

Hi. I'm using 2 gmail accounts and when I send an email from one, the user receives from my other account. It doesn't happen all the time, and has only been happening recently. It's strange because after the 1st time, I started checking that drop down box that asks which email I want to send from, and it is set correctly. This even occurs sometimes when I reply to an email, which by default will send emails from the address that the email was sent to. Also, I know something is wrong because 1 email address has a signature that states the email address it came from, while the other email address has no signature at all. When I get replies to the email I sent, it shows my signature, but is replied to my other email address. Has anyone else run into this issue? Are there any solutions? It's quite frustrating.

The pulldown menu in the message composition window that selects account doesn't select the smtp server for that account, you have to go into Mail Prefs to ensure which smtp server is associated with which account.
Go to Mail Prefs, Accounts and select each gmail account one at a time and check the following: In the Account Info panel, check that the outgoing mail server (smtp) is the one you think it should be.
I'm assuming that gmail requires a username/password to send a message; the server for each account would be listed something like: smtp.gmail.com:username1 for the first account and smtp.gmail.com:username2 for the second gmail account.
If they're not what they should be, open the outgoing mail server (smtp) pulldown menu and either select the correct server or choose "edit server list" and fix it. Also consider clicking the "use only this server" checkbox for both accounts.
Hope this helps.

Mail sending from wrong gmail address

I have multiple gmail addresses that I send from: one for work and one for personal. The email addresses are very similar, but for an additional ".am" suffix on the username of the work account. When I want to send an email from my work account I switch the "from" field to my work address, but it still gets sent from my personal address. The only workaround I've found is to force the work address into my "reply to" field. This still has the mail coming from the wrong account, but at least responses to the mail go in the right account. I do not have this problem when sending mail from other domains, nor do I have this problem when sending from my iPhone. I have my Gmail accounts set up with identical POP settings.

Start Mail, go to Preferences / Accounts.
For each account set the Outgoing server to be smtp.gmail.com:XXXXX - XXXXX being the user name you want send from.
Tick: Use only this server.
Now you should be a happy camper.
I tried that. It causes my outgoing servers to go offline, and I couldn't send mail from either gmail address. My current workaround is to send the mail from another domain. I don't know if there are any disadvantages to this down the line.

Mail sending from wrong Mail.app gmail account

I've got about 5 different gmail accounts in Mail.app -- two are actual gmail accounts and three are @mywebsite.net that I host through Gmail.
Up until recently everything was fine but now it seems all my mail is being sent from one gmail account, regardless of which account I choose to send from.
To the right of the "From:" dropdown menu is another dropdown, but mine is filled with indistinguishable "Gmail" names, maybe there's a way to edit those to make it more clear?
I've just spotted there's a way to set a default "From" email address in the prefs but I'd prefer not to always send from the same address... as in, that's the point of having so many emails in the first place. I've already sent out a bunch of business emails from my personal accout and confused a whole lot of people so it would be great to have this sorted soon.
Thanks,
Connor

I just went through this with 4 email addresses, and the solution seems to be in how your SMTP servers are setup. Here's how to fix it:
Go into preferences and under the account tab, click on your first account.
In the "Outgoing Mail Server" dropdown near the bottom, click "Edit SMTP server list"
Go through each server in this list and 1) make sure it has a meaningful name and 2) that the correct login info is entered under the advanced tab. Mine were jumbled up, with some being identified as one account but having login info for another.
Once this is straightened out, select each email account (we're done with the SMTP list at this point) and select the server from the dropdown list that you just verified and check "use only this account".
Once all addresses are associated only with their servers, you should be all set. Now you won't have any account accidentally loging in with the wrong credentials just to send. Why this isn't the default functionality is beyond me.
Hope this helps.

IPhone sending from wrong email address

Since loading OS7, my mail arbitrarily started sending from my gmail account instead of my primary mail account. Even after ensuring my primary was designated as such, reloading outgoing server password and turned OFF the mail function on my gmail acct, all outgoing messages are still from my gmail address. This is really frustrating as clients are beginning to reply to emails to the wrong address. Please help!

If you haven't already, I would open Mail> then click on the word "Mail" in the upper left corner of your screen>Preferences>select the "Composing" tab>in the line that reads "Send new messages from:" click on the arrows at the end of the line to open the dropdown box>select the email Account in the list that you want to be your default account for sending mail from. That should solve the issue.

E-mail sends from wrong e-mail address

I'm having problems sending an e-mail from a specific e-mail account. I've bee using one account mainly, but I received an e-mail in another account. I hit reply, and typed in my response, hit send. However, the e-mail got sent by my main account (the one I also set to be my default account in the mail settings, however, I thought that was for times like sending a link from safari). So, I'm a bit confused, how do I choose which e-mail to send from, I thought you select the e-mail account and hit the button, but if I hit reply from one e-mail account, why did it send with the other?
Alex
Edit: If it matters, the the e-mail account that got the message I was responding was an att yahoo account, I heard people have had issues with push so I'm not sure if that's the problem, and my main e-mail is a gmail account. Though it did send, just from the wrong e-mail.
Message was edited by: axxl

Quick Update:
When I send an e-mail from a different e-mail account (my other gmail account), it sends it from its own server. However, it still doesn't work with the att.net account. My yahoo account just doesn't send anything from anywhere, no traces.

Mail sends from wrong address?

Hi,
This problem has happened twice recently, and goes something like this:
I have a few accounts on Mail.
My main account ("A"), I use for most things. Today, I sent an email from "A". This email shows in the outbox for account "A", and shows at the top of the email as having been sent from "A"; but when the reply came back from the recipient, they had replied to account "B", and the original email shown attached to the bottom of this reply showed my email had actually originated from account "B".
Make sense?! Essentially I send the email from A, Mail shows this as having been sent from A, yet it has actually been sent from B.
FRUSTRATING!
Any ideas how I can fix this? I use different email for personal/professional etc., and it's inappropriate for professional recipients to be getting my personal address.
Thanks,
Mike

I'm having this problem, and Erie's "information" is not helpful as advice.
I have a personal Gmail and my school account which is also administered by Google. Both would have the same SMTP server, obviously. Both worked fine with no errors when I used Thunderbird.
Bought a Mac, use Mail, now I'm getting professors responding to my personal emails.
In fact, slightly off topic, I'm finding that the much mythologized Mac is not nearly what it's cracked up to be. I've had recurrent extensions problems, permissions problems, network problems, have had to reinstall iTunes half a dozen times (because iPhone suddenly stops syncing) and yesterday the computer just wouldn't boot.
I'm entering this from my PC as I have to completely repair and reinstall the Mac from the system disc. I think Apple just does a better PR job controlling their flaws, and there is a much smaller pool of people to complain, and if you can afford and pay for a Mac, you probably can afford a Time Capsule, so it's easier to recover; and you feel justified in your investment, therefore you don't admit to anyone that you have Mac problems.
If I'm going to have computer problems either way, next time I'll have them on a $350 PC instead of a $900 Mac.

Mountain Lion Mail - Replying From Wrong Email Address

Hello-
In Mountain Lion Mail, when I click reply to an email, the FROM filed is the same account the email was sent to.
If I have a rule applied to a message that delivers it to a different folder when it arrives, if I click reply, it uses my default email address, and not the email address the message was sent to.
To be clear, if I hit reply to a message that doesn't have a rule applied, then the action works fine, and it uses the email address it was sent to.
The problem only happens when I have an incoming email routed to a different folder in Mail, based on a set rule in preferences.
Driviing me crazy of course. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

I reported this problem to Applecare and reached a CPU Senior Technical Advisor (2nd level support), who was able to duplicate the problem. He reported the problem to Engineering, which got back to him with the following information:
Engineering was aware of the problem
No decision had been made regarding when or if the bug will be fixed.
He suggested that I also report the problem to <http://www.apple.com/feedback/>, which I have done.
I would like to suggest that the other poster to this thread also report the problem through the feedback page (pick the Mac OS X option and select Mail on the feedback form). The more people who report this, the sooner Apple is likely to fix it.
Here is what I wrote in part: "The reply function does not work properly in Mac OS X Mail when I reply from any mailbox other than Inbox. When I reply to an e-mail that is in any other mail box other than Inbox, Mail selects the default e-mail account to put into the "From" field instead of the e-mail account to which the original e-mail was sent. This worked properly in Snow Leopard and Lion, but is broken in Mountain Lion." I also gave the Case # of my report to Applecare.

Mail with multiple gmail accounts sending messages from wrong email, other than the one i select

mail with multiple gmail accounts sending messages from wrong email, other than the one i select:
i'm using mail on osx 10.7 with multiple gmail accounts. when i create an email, i check to be sure i'm sending/replying from the correct account. after i send it, somehow it actually sends it from a different account, other than the one i've selected "from." this is evidenced by the reply email i receive. how can i fix this?
in preferences, i have "send new messages from : account of selected mailbox"

From the Mail menu bar, select
          Mail ▹ Preferences...
The Mail preference dialog opens. Select the Composing tab from the row of icons at the top. From the menu labeled
          Send new messages from:
choose
          Account of selected mailbox
Note that this setting may have no effect if you start a new message while a VIP or smart mailbox is selected in the mailbox list. Those are saved searches, not actual mailboxes.
If the problem remains, select the Accounts tab in the preference dialog, then select the affected account in the list on the left.
In the Account Information pane, select the correct server in the menu labeled
          Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)
If there's only one server in the menu, select
          Edit SMTP Server List...
and add a new server with the correct settings. If you're not sure how to do that, try the Mail Settings Lookup.
Another possibility is that the wrong card in your address book is selected as yours. Select your card in the Contacts application. Then select
          Card ▹ Make This My Card
from the menu bar.

Leave mails send to specefic email adresses on the server?

I have several email adresses at my mail account, but for different users. I want Mail just to download my emails (send to my email adress) and leave the rest (send to other email adresses, but on same account) on the server.
In Windows Mail I could put up a rule for the program not to download mails send to specefic email adresses from the server, but this doesnt seem to be an option in the Mail on the Mac OS. Any solution for this?

Firefox doesn't do email, it's a web browser.
If you are using Firefox to access web mail, you need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.
If your problem is with Thunderbird, see this forum for support.

How to send from alternate email address?

Along with my regular email address, I have a business email address that is forwarded to my regular account.
In Eudora, I used to be able to set up a new "Personality" that would allow me to send email using the business address, and have that show up in the "reply-to" field as well.
How can I do this in Mail ?

go to mail>preferences>accounts, select your email account, then in the email address field just below the description field, enter all the email addresses you would like to use as an alias, separated by a comma, then save. You will then be able to send from this email account with all the email addresses you keyed in.
Alternatively, you could set up a home email account and a business email account in Leopard Mail, and then have the ability to send/receive/view from one account to another
hope this helps

How to check the success/failure of e-mail sending from Sharepoint?

Dear Expert,
I connect Exchange 2010 and SharePoint 2010. When user create workflow in sharepoint, it will send the email to confirm. if it's done. but I checked from user they didn't get the email. I would like to know how to check the success/failure of e-mail
sending from Sharepoint?
Thank you

By default, there is no logging mechanism in SharePoint for outgoing mails.
Mails in SharePoint are sent by giving an SMTP sever IP address in Central Administration. SharePoint never sends email directly. It relays or routes mails to the SMTP server. So, logging should be done in the SMTP server itself.
There is also another way of doing it. You can enable SMTP service of IIS for sending emails from SharePoint, which would also just relay the mails to an SMTP Server. But in this case, you can enable logging in your IIS SMTP Service. Please visit this blog
for more details.
In your case you need to check your exchange server for any failure for relaying mails.

Adding attachments to the mail send from XI

Hi all,
How can we add attachments to the mails send from XI?
Regards,
Satpreet Singh

Hi
Do the Mail Receiver Adaptor Configuration as mentioned.
Choose any of the options suiting to your requirements. All the options shall give attachments in one way or the other.
1) Choose Message Protocol   = u201CXIALLu201D
The mail will go to the address mentioned in Mail Attributes in the adaptor as two attachments. The file something like ATT123.xml will contains all the system information and another file u201CpayloadXXXu2026..xmlu201D will contain the input file you give.
2) Message Protocol =   u201CXIPAYLOADu201D with u201CMail Packageu201D
If we check u201CKeep Attachmentsu201D in u201CMail Attributesu201D then, the content will be sent as an attachment otherwise, the content will be sent as body of the mail.
3)Message Protocol =   u201CXIPAYLOADu201D without u201CMail Packageu201D
The content will go as attachment even though u201CKeep Attachmentsu201D is not checked. If u201CKeep Attachmentsu201D is not checked then the attached file name will be same as that of the subject we have given in the Subject in Mail Attributes.
If the checkbox u201CKeep Attachementsu201D is checked, then the attachment file name will be u201CPayloadXXXXu2026.xmlu201D irrespective of the input file name.

Why is the printed font so small on a print job I send from my email to my new HP Photosmart C510

Why is the printed font so small on a print job I send from my email to my new HP Photosmart C510? I sent it via HP ePrint from a lotus notes based email account. It was just a text message but it was so small on the print out I could not begin to read it.
Thanks
Matt

At the document you plan to print, go to "file" in upper right corner. Select "print preview". Atop that window, select font size. Recommended minimum 60%. May need to adjust with different documents.
Good luck!
