My account picture in outgoing mail

This is a dumb question
but I don't know how to get rid of my account picture from my outgoing mail.
I have no idea how it got there in the first place.
It is in all my outgoing mail. Can someone please tell me how to remove it from my outgoing mail .
Thank you

Hi Teresita,
Assuming you have a .Mac account,
try online, your .Mac,
Account Settings > Mail Preferences > Composing
there should be an option to "use a custom photo", that you can uncheck.
Another place you can investigate:
On your computer, in Address Book, edit your own profile, the one with the black silhouette.
If there is a picture of you, take it off,
Mail then after a logout-login should not be able anymore to find any picture of you.

  • Picture in Outgoing Mail.

    Hi,
    When ever i send out a Mail it goes with my user account picture and i don't want that. I am not able to delete the picture from address book on the card that is mine. Any Suggestions.? (I am using Live and everything else works fine.)
    Thanx
    John.

    If your recipient has your picture in his address book, then when he displays your inbound message in his Mail viewer, it will link to that picture in his address book and display it in his mail viewer when viewing the message that he received from you.
    The only other way that the picture could possibly be sent was if it was sent as an attachment, but that wouldn't display it up in the header of the received message when viewed by the recipient.
    There is, or was at one time, a thing called "X-Face" which was a way to use a reasonably compact ascii character string in an email message header to encode a very grainy black-and-white image in the header kind of like what Mail displays when it links to a picture in your address book (only way more grainier, 1-bit color, and since it was ascii code in the message header it was indeed transmitted). But I don't think Mail.app has ever recognized X-Face headers, though. There is certainly no mail preference setting to add an X-Face image.

  • Sent message from Mac Mail work email shows my personal gmail account as Mail to: and account summary shows outgoing mail server as smtp.google while incoming shows imap.google

    sent email from work through Mac Mail shows to the sender Mail to: (personal gmail). Account summary shows smtp.google on outgoing server and imap.google on incoming

    Is there a way to add this automatically?
    For a semi-permanent change, the Sending Server is named as "OutGoing Mail Server SMTP" on the Preference pane for each Mail Account.
    To change its specifics, move the mouse cursor over it and choose "Edit SMTP Server List" from the drop-down Menu. Then choose the SMTP Server you wish to inspect/change and its information will be shown. If using similar ones for two different email accounts, change the description field, e.g., change "gmail" to "gmail (work)".

  • Question: "Recipient rejected by server" message received on my Ipad. Account settings for outgoing mail are verified correct.  Please advise.

    Question:  Why am I getting a message " recipient rejected by server" when trying to send email om my IPad 1 when outgoing mail settings that worked have not been change?

    Hopefully SOLVED - I had same problem on my iphone.  Maybe these couple hidden settings are not quite same on your Ipad?
    On the iphone i went  Settings>Mail, contacts calanders>choose relevant account (if you have more than 1)> accountname>accountname> scroll down to 'Outgoing Mail server' and click on SMTP >click on your Primary Server >
    My Username and Password were showing 'Optional'.  Filled them in with the correct details (email account login) and that fixed problem.

  • My picture in outgoing mails

    When I sent an e-mail there is a small picture in the mail which the receiver will see. How do I change this picture? At this point it is an illustration that I have chosen when I installed my new computer but I wish to change it to a picture of myself!

    If I understand you correctly, that picture is not one that is actually attached to the e-mail, so nobody else sees it. It is the picture associated with your e-mail address in the Address Book, so Mail displays the picture when it shows the message.
    If you want to change this picture, you can do it by double-clicking the square with the picture in it on your card in the Address Book.

  • My picture in outgoing mail?

    Hi, I´m a brand new iMac (or any Mac for that matter) user and I need some help.
    When I was setting everything up I had the choice to take my picture with the computers built-in cam (to be my profile pic). And so I did, but just now I realized that that picture gets sent out with every outgoing email. Is there anyway to prevent that? Not that I´m hideous or something, it´s just that I don´t want every person that I send mail to to know what I look like. :-p
    Thx for any help!

    Welcome to the Mac !!
    You can change your picture if you want to by going into System Preferences, Accounts, Click on the picture. You will then get another chance to take a picture of yourself, or I just picked out one of the standard icons that they have to select from (no, not the cute kitty cat).
    Enjoy!

  • Account picture on e-mail heading

    Hi - I am a new imac user. I have noticed that when I look at a sent e-mail it displays the picture that I chose for my user account ie a mad looking cat! It displays in the top right hand corner of the e-mail. Quite embarrassing when using for work purposes. How do I get rid of the mad cat?
    Thanks
    Ann

    Hi
    You're the only person who will see that image (and similarly for any contacts in your Address Book - if you've assigned them pictures, you will see those pictures when you receive mail from them). Your cat image won't get mailed out with messages you send.
    You can, of course, change or remove your image in your "Me" contact in Address Book.

  • Email adds amazon account password to outgoing mail

    operating yosemite sending email from contacts it adds my amazon account info in any ideas

    When you say "sending email from contacts" do you mean it ONLY happens when you send mail directly from the Contacts app on your Mac? Does it happen if you email someone (test it to yourself) from the Mail app? Do you really have 10.8.1 or did you perhaps update to 10.8.5 or even newer?

  • Apple Mail switching my outgoing mail from receipt e-mail to another e-mail within my accounts

    Hi ~
    My Apple Mail account keeps switching outgoing mail accounts on me, nilly-willy. If a mail comes in under a particular address, i.e. [email protected] it will send a return e-mail from another address within my accounts, i.e. [email protected], EVEN if a) the account shown in the FROM line is the original [email protected]; and 2) my signature for that particular account shows in the e-mail.  It seems to happen only with the 5 G-mail accounts synched into the mail program, and not with a business address with a different server.
    Any suggestions to fix this particularly pesky problem?

    I have something similar.  I have 4 email accounts one being Gmail.  No matter what account receives the email the replay is automatically directed to the Gmail account.  There have been some discussions out there about problems with Gmail accounts.  This may be connected to problems.

  • TS3276 Outgoing Mail - How do I set the default?

    How do I choose which of my mail accounts will be used when I send outgoing email messages? Is there a way to designate one of my accounts a 'default' outgoing mail account?

    OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion
    May be it is the same for OS X 10.7 Lion.

    "Send new messages from:"
    Click in the box for the dropdown  and select.

  • Outgoing mail servers gone

    All my email accounts got their outgoing mail server set to "none," and my smtp sever list is empty. How do I get them back? Help!
    Mail still goes out from my iPad and iPhone.

    No, they told me (among other less relevant things) that they could only help me if I pay them or that I could post my question in Apple support communities.
    I don't understand: the list of outgoing mail servers is just emty, and I remember that it took me many weeks and phone calls to get it right when I got this laptop a little over a year ago. What dit I do wrong, and why won't Time Machine set it right again?
    Apple Support also suggested to do a OS X Recovery, but than I was warned that it would erase all data from my laptop HD, and although I have Time Machine backups, this seemed too risky for such a futile problem. Can you help me, or do I have to call those awful internet service providers again?

  • Outgoing mail with unwanted indelible picture

    hi,
    My MAIL program has a mind of it's own: each outgoing e-mail is sent out with a picture automatically pasted on; I tried several ways to undo it, but to no avail.
    Could someone let me me know:
    1) how to choose whether or not do I want a picture to be pasted on the outgoing mail
    and, even more important,
    2) at least to give me the choice of the picture to be pasted
    Right now the indelible picture that is invariably sent out with each and every mail is one of his own choice from photo-booth. I even deleted all the pictures I had residing on photo-booth, which is now empty, but the outgoing mail still paste THAT picture that was previously on photo-booth, on all outgoing mail.
    Thanks a lot for your help.

    Welcome to the discussions, piera.
    Are you sure the picture is actually being sent? If I look in my mailboxes at mail I have received, mail will look for the sender in the addrress book, and if it finds an associated picture it will put that picture on the right end of the header portion of the message. The picture does not come with, and is not part of, the mail message.
    Likewise if I look in my Sent mailbox mail will add my login picture to the header bar - but the picture has not been sent with the outgoing message. If you don't like the picture you can change it System Preferences/Accounts. I don't think you can have no picture, but you could make a picture of a blank space and use that.

  • Can I set my iCloud email as the outgoing mail server for my google apps email account in Mac Mail?

    I have a google apps email account from an old client, all my work emails have been going to it for years. As I'm no longer affiliated with this client I'd like to make a transition to using my iCloud account for work. I asked people to use my iCloud address but as they've been using my google apps address for years it's what automatically comes up when they type my name.
    I figure the easiest way to make a transition is if I reply to all the emails that arrive at my old address from my iCloud address and gradually they will start using my new address without realising it. But I can't find a simple way to do this.
    In Mac Mail preferences > accounts > Google IMAP (my old account name) > Account information > Outgoing Mail server (SMTP) I'd like to set my iCloud SMTP server. But although my iCloud account uses its own outgoing mail server for its own account , it is not in the server list when I select my google account. I've tried to add it to the server list as smtp.mail.me.com but it caused my whole iCloud account to give me error messages until I force quit Mail...
    Any ideas?

    In iCloud/Mail, have you tried going to Preferences (select with gear at lower left)/Composing and setting a Send from address there?

  • What is my outgoing mail server for setting up a new account in Mail?

    Hi, I'm trying to set up a new account in Mail so that I check my school e-mail from that application and I've figured out what my incoming mail server is, but what where would I find the outgoing mail server if I want to send through Mail?
    Thanks

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Ask the company providing you internet juice to get online. If it is Comcast, it typically is smtp.comcast.net or mail.comcast.net. If it is Verizon, it is outgoing.verizon.net. If it is someone else it is some SMTP server that is assigned by the company that you pay your bills to get online with.

    You say you have the pse 5 disk?
    I guess you do't have a dvd drive on your new windows 8 computer?
    Do you have access to another computer with a dvd drive?
    Anyway if you can find another computer with a dvd drive you could copy the pse 5 install disc to removable device like a camera card or flash drive.
    You can also buy cheap usb dvd drives.
