Manually change the "sent from" field in mail

Hi there,
I have a MobileMe account set up in Mail but I would like my sent messages to appear as if they were sent from another email account (a non mobile me account).
Is there a way to do this ?
Thanks for helping !

You can fix this problem by adding an entry into a file on your mac. You have to add an alias, but manually so by editing this file below:
I finally found a solution. You can edit this file where USERNAME = users acutal account on the mac:
Close Mail.
Go to:
/Users/USERNAME/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/accounts.plist
Under this:
            <key>EmailAddresses</key>
            <array>
                <string>[email protected]</string>
            </array>
Type:
            <key>EmailAliases</key>
            <array>
                <dict>
                    <key>alias</key>
                    <string>[email protected]</string>
                    <key>name</key>
                    <string>Name 1</string>
                </dict>
            </array>
Save version of file.
Open Mail.
I hope this helps - it seemed to work for me.

How do i change the sender / from address in mail? (MS Exchange)

I have set up an MS exchange account in Mail. In OSX Snow Leopard I could change the from address. This is necessary because my account username address is not the main address I use (I work in a company's sub division). So my from is not correct generally, and it's also annoying because my own address pops up when I do a reply all.
Any suggestions?

Change "Return-From" field in mail.app messages

I need to be able to change the "Return-From" field in some of my outbound emails using the mail.app. I can't find a way to do this. Can anyone help? Here is what I am basically trying to accomplish:
I need recipients of the email to be able to select Reply and have the email come back to the same email address as the From field, but if they have an out of office turned on, or if the email is no longer a valid email address, I need those messages to go to a different email box so they don't clutter up the real messages that need to be worked.
Any suggestions or ideas are appreciated.

You can add any headers you want to Mail, with the defaults write com.apple.mail UserHeaders command in Terminal. However, it is easy to get it wrong, particularly if you already have added headers, so I would suggest you try Cricket's Applescripts for Mail, which includes one for doing it.
That said, is there a Return-From header? I cannot recall having noticed one.

Set default "from" field in Mail per account?

Is there any way I can set the default "from" field in Mail based on the account I'm sending from?
I have two accounts defined: work and personal. Each account has 2 email addresses associated with it (as a comma-separated list in the "Email Address" field under "Account Information"). Let's call the email addresses work-A, work-B, personal-A, personal-B.
In the Composing prefs I can either select ONE default email address to send ALL mail from, or I can select to send from "Account of Last Viewed Mailbox", in which case Mail will choose a work email address if I'm in a work mailbox and a personal email address if I'm in a personal mailbox.
That second option is great, except I can't control which work email address it chooses - A or B. Changing the order of the email addresses in the Account Information->Email Address field has no effect - it consistently chooses the "wrong" one :-/
Any way I can use "Account of Last Viewed Mailbox" and still set a default mail address per account?

Since my last post, I found tried putting
Preferences->Accounts->Email address to be my edu address
would add my .edu address as one of my from choices
Next, I sent myself a mail message, with following result:
The .edu address is now rejected by the outgoing server with the message:
Cannot send message using the server
The sender address (my .edu address) was rejected by the server
I had this working at some time, but not now. Help, please.

How to change the spelling correction language in Mail

Hey!
Often I have to write emails in different languages and I'm looking for a solution to change the spelling language by a click. My plan was to record the procedure of changing the language and then to add for every language one button to the mail tool bar. First I tried to record an AppleScript in Mail. Didn't work at all (actually the only app I found which records scripts is Finder). Then I recorded a similar task in Finder which works fine and tried to adopt it to Mail. It didn't work out. Has someone an idea how I can solve that problem.
My simple training script what I tried to adopt for Mail (i just tried to change something in the Mail preferences, not the language):
tell application "Finder" <--- replaced all "Finder" with "Mail"
activate
select Finder window 1
open window of Finder preferences
set folders open in new windows of Finder preferences to true
close window of Finder preferences
end tell
Thanks
Bastian

Hi
It's not that easy! Apart from the fact that Mail doesn't work the same way as Finder, it also doesn't have its own spell checker: it uses the system-wide AppleSpell service.
The pane you see when you manually change the preferred spelling language in Mail (or TextEdit, or Safari) doesn't belong to Mail at all, and isn't directly accessible by AppleScript because AppleSpell is an invisible and unscriptable process.
See this closed Apple Discussions thread for a brief indication of how you can change the preferred language using a shell script.
And see this macoshints thread for an indication of the complexity of the issue.
You need to know the "code" for each language used in the preferences file: "en_GB" for British English, "fr" for French etc etc. You would then need to wrap each shell script in an AppleScript "do shell script" command like this:
do shell script "defaults write 'Apple Global Domain' 'NSPreferredSpellServerLanguage' \"fr\""
to change the language to French.
Unfortunately, I think you would also need to quit Mail and relaunch it before the change will take effect.

When I burned an album that had pictures from 3 cameras that I rearranged the cd came out in camera order not my rearranged order. Can this be fixed without manually changing the cd?

When I burned an album that had pictures from 3 cameras that I rearranged the cd came out in camera order not my rearranged order. Can this be fixed without manually changing the cd?

No.
How did you arrange the shots in iPhoto? In an album, manually?
Then Photos Menu: Batch Change -> Set Title to Text "John's Birthday", for instance, and tick the box to append a number to each Photo. Now your photos are titled 'John's Birthday 001, John's Birthday 002 ... etc'
Then File -> Export and in the Export dialogue set the Filename to "Use Title"
Sort on Filename in the FInder and you end up with a folder full of images in the same order as the Album in iPhoto.

How do I change the default font color on Mail?

I want the words in my messages to be a certain color, so what am I doing wrong? First I go on preferences, to fonts & colors, hit select on message list font, and it pulled up a window with all the fonts and stuff. Then I click on the color icon thing which brings up another window for me to choose the color. So I choose the color and close that window and all the other ones. But when I start a new message, the font is black. Is there something I need to do differently? Thanks!

Hello Apple... is anyone monitoring and responding?
For years I have been manually changing the font and font color on every outgoing mail as an element of Corporate Identity.
Apple Mail offers great features like smart mailboxes - but this is still not fixed!
Universal Mailer (http://universalmailer.github.io/UniversalMailer/) forces font, size and color, but does not display it in the window of the outgoing mail. Can be misleading!
Spoiling the ship for a ha'porth of tar!
Apple, please fix!

How do you change the Received: From in the message header to correct external address

We have trouble every so often sending a message to customers will get a bounce back. Basically it is using our local internal name (mailserver.local) instead of our External name (mail.domain.com). We have a pretty
simple setup one Server (no edge server) with and SSL certificate. I went in to the Hub Transport setting and made sure the FQDN was mail.domain.com and it was. I have read on the subject some people suggest getting your ISP to create a pointer
record for the IP to the internal name. That will not work for us, because we may be changing ISPs in the near future.
I included a bounce and current header info.
So is there a way to change the "Received: from" server name to our external name?

The error message states the reverse DNS entry isn't valid. I agree with Willard that setting up an SPF record will help your overall spam score from receiving hosts, but in this case it should simply be resolved by configuring a reverse DNS.
Receiving mail hosts on the Internet usually care most about the IP that's connecting to them. One of the most common tests is the reverse DNS (since the SMTP connection comes from 96.43.X.X, the receiving host will ask itself "does 96.43.X.X really
belong to the TUK-UTM.theirdomain.com ? and will go and check for PTR records for 96.43.X.X) It's this check that's failed.
Even if you'll be changing your ISP in the future, you would still have ownership for your DNS domains, right ? It should be your company paying for this service after all.

How to manually change the thumbnail images of the new tab page (without using addons)?

I wanted to customize the images displayed on the thumbnails on the New Tab Page. I tried using the addon "New Tab Tools" to do so and it worked, for a while. Now a bug seems to have affected it (it is not displaying any thumbnails, so I uninstalled it). So I want to try another approach. I want to MANUALLY change the images for each of the thumbnail on the new tab page (of course, the thumbnails are 'pinned').
(I read some other articles related to thumbnails, specifically about DELETING them, and it asked me to open the Firefox Profile Folder, and in there, delete the thumbnails folder. I thought I could simply change the images stored in it instead of deleting them, but there is NO thumbnails folder in the Firefox profile folder (I accessed the profile folder thru the troubleshooting information section in the help menu). So where is this thumbnails folder after all?)
So, how can I do it?
Thanks in advance.

I note you are using Icedragon 26. Not sure I have come across that before.
I guess they provide their own support, as they are apparently offering something based on an outdated and unsupported Firefox26. I see their forum has threads on Icedragon if you search for them, but at a quick glance I see no specific topic
*https://forums.comodo.com <br /> & https://forums.comodo.com/index.php?action=search2
You could always install an official and up to date Firefox 29
* See [[How to download and install Firefox on Windows]]
* Download from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
You may note the New Tabs page may be subject to a few changes over coming versions of Firefox it is apparently being improved. Firefox itself as Fx29 is also slightly changed from Fx26

How do you change the format from Windows to Mac

Does anyone know how to change the format from Windows to Mac? When I first bought my iPod I had windows but now would like to change this. Also is anyone aware why some tracks pause for 2 seconds and then carries on.

Restore the iPod in iTunes for Mac. Restoring will erase and reformat the iPod's hard drive, reload the software with the Mac version and put it back to default settings. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions to name the iPod and automatically sync your songs and videos onto the fresh installation. Press Done and the iPod will appear in iTunes and start to sync. If you want to sync using selected playlists uncheck the box beside the sync automatically instruction and press Done, it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes
