Mail won't use correct account for sending

I have the option checked for "Send new messages from Account of Selected Mailbox". I have several filters set up to shovel certain email list into a separate folder locally and taken off the server. When I reply to these emails, Mail ALWAYS uses my .mac account (which is at the top of the mail accounts list). It will not use the account these mails are addressed to. In Lion and before, this worked as expected. Now, in Mountain Lion, it is a problem. How do I fix it?

The way to fix it is this:
Open Mail, and click on the triangle next to, say, inbox on the left side of the screen. You should see the inboxes of all your individual accounts.
Now drag the account you want to use to the top of that list!

Mail won't use designated server for outgoing mail

My G4 abruptly started having problems sending mail through the bellsouth.net server. Even though the Mail preferences appear correctly set (I've been using them for several years and haven't changed any Mail settings), the problems started this past week.
I have two hunches: 1) the latest Security Update caused something to go wrong. 2) something happened when I traveled recently and used my primary drive (an external HD) with my host's iMac.
I have run Cocktail, Disk Warrior, rebuilt whatis, whois, locate databases.
Mail continues to try to use the .mac server for all my bellsouth.net outgoing mail; when the popdown warning appears stating that my message will not go through as addressed, the bellsouth server does not appear as one of the choices I could send the mail through. . .I'm baffled.
I dread calling Bellsouth tech support; they are generally blithering i*ts and not worth wasting my time on. They almost always refer me back for Mac support any time there's a problem.
Anyone want to take a crack at this? Thanks for your help.

Not sure what you mean. Is it that Mail has problems using BellSouth's outgoing server, then asks you to choose another server and gives .Mac as the only choice? Or is it that Mail tries to use .Mac right away? Is BellSouth your ISP?
Mail keeps information about outgoing servers in a separate list, independently of any specific mail account. The account settings just associate one of the available outgoing servers with each account. Orphaned or dangling outgoing server entries (i.e. not associated with any account) sometimes cause sending problems.
Go to Preferences > Accounts > Account Information > Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP), choose Edit Server List from the popup menu, and delete any servers that shouldn't be there (if any). The Edit Server List panel shows the account each outgoing server is associated with.
Also, please update your My Settings's profile (and click Save), so that it accurately displays the version of Mac OS X you're using.

I am holidaying in Auckland using my daughter's Orcon internet account for sending mail but it will not send. I am sure I am putting in the correct information but it still says mail.orcon.net.nz(Offline). I have spent half an hour with Orcon putting in correct info. They do not know how to help me further and neither does telstra clear, my own internet provider.
Any advice appreciated.

On the Mail menubar > Mailbox, make sure Take all accounts online is selected.

Problems setting a Yosemite domain name account for Send only

What do I do in Yosemite Mail so that my DOT MAC account is IMAP, but so that I can also send email from a domain account that is a POP account at GoDaddy?
My Dot Mac / iCloud account is my primary Mail account. I also have a domain name account that I use only for sending mail. The domain name account is a POP account, not an IMAP account. The domain server (not an Apple server) forwards the email to my Dot Mac account as it comes in, but I do NOT sync mail or even pick up mail from the domain name server.
With Yosemite, Apple apparently changed the way it deals with that situation. I say "apparently" because I'm having a hard time getting help on this. Before Yosemite, I had the domain account enabled, but while there was a password for sending there was no password for picking up the domain name mail. Every once in the while over the years that setup would get flaky (as Apple made changes on its end?) but usually it worked.
I continued that setup with Yosemite, but a few months ago I started having problems. My mail worked as normally, but during the night or the morning, many messages would arrive as unread duplicates, and many emails I didn't want deleted were permanently deleted. Oddly, in addition, I had an easy time keeping the setup on my MacAir but I had a hard time keeping it on my Mac Mini, even though both have Yosemite.
I took my MacAir to an Apple genius who said the settings had changed in Yosemite. He somehow reset the account for Send Only by clicking a box. Everything worked fine for a week or so,* But then I could no longer send domain name mail, I couldn't find the setting, and I went to another Genius, who didn't know what I was talking about and who couldn't solve the problem.
I need to be able to send my domain name account without making it an IMAP account, but can't figure out how.
thanks
* In other words, the Dot Mac IMAP worked correctly, the POP messages forwarded correctly to DOT MAC (without any duplication problems), and I was able to send mail from the domain account.

I've not tested it but if you simply leave the incoming mail server field in the Mail account preferences blank for that account blank but set up the outgoing server and do not check "include when automatically checking new mail" you should be able to send but not receive
OR undo the forward that you have set up from #2 to #1 and use both normally

Is there any way to setup a email account for sending only

is there any way to setup a email account for sending only? i have a pop account that i fwd to my google acct, so all my mail is mapi thru google/exchange. i do need this account as a send email address so currently i have entered a wrong password so i do not duplicate my inbox. its annoying as i get the bad reteival popup continuessly. Many email products, like outlook allow you to decide which accounts to download. it should be a simple fix from Apple, but dont think there is any one to talk too about this. other option is to use the gmail app or chrome, but like apple's email better for iphone Any ideas??

Using iOS 8.1, can I still use pop account for email instead of imap

UUsing iOS 8.1 on iPhone 4. Can I still use pop account for my email instead of IMAP. Don't like all my email on mail server

MMy biggest problem is both iPhone and iPad when I set up email account uses IMAP automatically. So I really have no choice. Since IMAP doesnot allow downloading email to device, I have to leave all restates on mail server. This really concerns me.

Use one account for apps and other for itunes match

Hello everybody
My question today is quite simple. I use one account for apps and tv shows, but inwant to use a different itunes account for purchasing itunes match. How can I use them both on my devices? Will it be asking for my user-pass each time i play a song? What other thing should i consider?
Thank you in advance

I would strongly recommend you not do this. You will regret it.
I have played with this issue a lot. You have to remain signed into match in order for it to show up on your phone. If you sign out to purchase an app or redownload one from your appstore id you use then match will be removed from your phone and when you go into your music app the icloud will not be there. You then have to go sign back out of the store id you used for your app purchase and then sign back into match and everything will have to go though the download to your device process again. This really is not what you want to do.
Sign up to match with the apple id that you know you will use the most or has the most purchased items and use that for all purchases, i.e. books, apps, movies, and music. You don't want to go though the other process.
Plus apple will start not letting you sign into match because you signed out and back in, in to short a period of time.
all store purchases on an iphone are linked to the store id. if you sign out of your match id on the appstore and sign into another account to purchase an app then itunes match will sign out in the music app. You can't have two store id's signed into your iphone at the same time. They are all linked together.

It is not possible to create a new iCloud account using a Windows machine. You must create the account using a Mac (10.7.5 or more) or an IOS device (iPhone etc). Once that is done you can sign into and use the account on your Windows machine.

my wife and I share an iCloud account for photo library and iCloud drive mainly for our family photo management, but we use different accounts for iMessage/facetime/calendar/etc. With Yosemite, I can't use continuity/handoff without dumping the primary photo iCloud account and thus our shared photo system. We are running yosemite OS X 10.10 and iOS 8.0.2... Is there any way to do this?

Can I use same account for android tablet and PC and how do I link both?

You can use the same Apple ID for both phones, you would then be able to use the purchased Apps/Content on both phones without having to pay again.

Using reconciliation account for banks

hi all,
we are discussing using reconciliation account for banks, we dont want to create an account per each of bank accounts in account chart.
for example
xxx account for ABC Bank in account chart.
and eur, usd, gbr accounts for ABC Bank will be assinged the account which is above via reconciliationing
but we are not sure, is it a good way to do in sap system? or what is plus/minus calculation?
we will be appreciated to see your valuable comments and ideas in this thread.
thanks

Hi,
Don't call it reconciliation, though. Technically, several bank accounts could be assinged to one G/L account. But it will have certain impacts on business process as the reconciliation of bank statements would be more difficult to handle.
Regards,
Eli

Configure a POP3 account for sending mail only

Right heres my problem; I have an inbox.com account (POP3 Only) and a Google Mail account (IMAP) which I only use to sync my calender. I use my inbox.com account for all my mail as its a more formal address but google mail has the IMAP feature which is extremely useful to have. I've managed to make google mail account grab my emails from my inbox.com account via POP3 so I can have my desktop and laptop use IMAP through google mail however. Is there any way of having an account on my iphone that is only used to send emails and not receive because if I set it up so it sends and receives I get 2 copies of the same email from google mail and inbox.com accounts which is extremely annoying. If I remove the incoming account information on the iphone then every time i try and receive emails it comes up with an error which is also very annoying.
Thank you

No, there's not, as far as I know.
