OS X Mail - Always reply from the account mail was receive by.

I have three email accounts: A, B, and C.
Suppose I get email addressed to account A.
When I reply to that email, I obviously want to send the reply from the same account, namely A.
However Mail chooses to reply to mail sent to A from account B, instead, causing great confusion to the sender, who is now communicating with two different accounts. Is there any situation where replying from an account other than the account recieving account makes sense?
I'd like to configure Mail to always reply from the account from which the mail was received. Obviously this is possible and I can't imaging it's not the default behavior but I can't seem to figure out how.
Any help would appreciated,
Faz

I do leave the messages in my inbox and have "Send from account of selected mailbox" selected but sometimes that doesn't happen...
I just looked at a message I replied with from a few days ago. The original message was sent to account A and the signiture on the reply is from account A but the message was actually sent from account B. This makes no sense, and it seems to be random.
I must have misconfigure something, I'll dig through the account settings.

How to reply from the same email account?

I have multiple email accounts. When I receive an email from an alternate account, not the default account, and I respond to this email it is automatically responding from the default account.
I can change it to an alternate email address as on previous iOS versions- that's not my question. I just want to be able to reply directly from the account the email was sent to. Am I missing something?
* kudos to the multiple signatures one for each account, but it doesn't help if I'm responding from the wrong account.

I think there is a contradiction in your requirements. You want two people to share an account and you don't want either to interfere with the other.
The short and simple answer is to use IMAP to connect to the mail server. If your current email provider doesn't offer IMAP, find another that does. This is old technology already and it's disgraceful that some email providers haven't yet put it in place.
IMAP means that your messages are stored on the server and both of you will see exactly the same set of messages. And therein lies the contradiction; you will both see changes made by the other so you are inherently interfering with one another.
Caveats: some providers may not permit you both to access the account concurrently, and even if they do, things may become interesting if you both choose to work on the same message simultaneously.
Note that all of this is about email servers and protocols; your choice of Thunderbird as your email client has little bearing on the situation.

Is anyone else having issues with their mail , where the reply from the person you just contacted contains very old emails from a different contact ?

Is anyone else having issues with their mail , where the reply from the person you just contacted contains very old emails from a different contact ?

I mean that I sent an email to a contact of mine yesterday. His reply contained a stream of very old emails I had received in 2009 from a totally different contact all together !! The reply email was in my inbox as being from the original person I sent the email to. This is starting to happen more regularly now , so is a problem !

Reply from same account...

My boss recently asked me if it's possible to reply from the one account always regardless of where the original email came from.
For example, if he has accounts A, B and C set up in his mail, and receives an email in account B or C, is there a preference to always reply from account A?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Agreed -- this automatic FROM feature is very poorly planned for a FAMILY computer. Instead, Apple should have separate icons for each account, so when the icon is opened the inbox and outbox are tied to that account and that account only.
The current approach absolutely does NOT work for a family computer. This needs to be fixed.
And I'm glad there is a simple solution for the original poster. We need a solution for the opposite problem.

Always reply using the same email address?

Let's say my Mail app is set up with three email accounts - one on Gmail, one on AOL, and one on my private domain name. All mail is received on a regular basis and it's fine, but what if I want EVERY response - no matter what account it was received in - to come from the same email address? I know I can set the "From" address in the pop-up list when composing the reply (or creating a new message), but what if I don't want the "From" pop-up list and I want EVERY reply to come from ONE address? Is this possible?

no. if you want something like this you may want to rearrange how your mail is received. you can set the other two accounts to automatically forward mail to the account you want to send from and only set up that one account in Mail.

How do I reply to an email from the address it was sent to?

I've found previous questions asking this, but they are old and this seems to be a new problem - it started when I upgraded to 31.3.0 yesterday. I have several email addresses, so say "me@work" and "me@home". Mail to all addresses end up in the same inbox (I only have one inbox that I use, there's another right down at the bottom of the folders list in "Local Folder" but I don't know what this is and there's never been mail in it).
In any case, until yesterday if I received an email to "me@work" and I hit the reply button the reply was from "me@work", and ditto with home. Now if I hit reply to "me@work" the reply is set from "me@ home". Why, and how do I go back to they way it was? If this isn't possible, can I go back to yesterday's Thunderbird? I am never going to remember to check each time and am bound to end up replying from the wrong address.
Thanks.

Thanks, but I know how to do that. It's not practical when the email being replied to is a chain of emails that may run for hundreds of lines. And if the snip I do want to quote is somewhere in the middle, I would have to perform two select/deletes.
If there was a way to "select all" and then delete the selection, that would help. But that basic capability does not seem to exist.

Money deducted from the account twice for 1 song.

You could use a different country (e.g. leave it on US) or try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours)

This error is specific to RAS. The default CORBA request timeout is 10 minute = 600000 ms. When the RAS SDK does not get the reponse back from RAS server in 600000 ms it throws this message. Why it works in InfoView\CMC what I believe you refer to as "Front End' application is because InfoView\ CMC don't use RAS.
1. First make sure that a smaller report wich runs pretty fast ( 1-2 min) works. This will confirm that there is no connectivitiy issues between RAS and RAS SDK.
2. If you get the efrror for every single report, even the smaller ones, make sure the box running RAS and RAS SDK code( in case they are 2 different) can ping each other with IP, shortname and FQDN. If there is a firewall between them, the RAS port needs to be opened for bidirectional communication. By default RAS chooses a random port for communication with SDK but within CMC you can configure it to use a specific port and open it.
3. If the issue is specific only to reports that are long running, typically more than 10 minutes, then you need to inclease the CORBA timeout to a value more than what the reports typically would take to process. This is done on client code side or IIS in this case.
Here are the steps:
Make the following changes on the application server/system.
Open RegEdit by going to Start > Run and typing in regedit.exe. Then click Ok.
Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 11.5\Report Application Server\Client SDK\CorbaAdapter
Change the value of SendRequestTimeout(ms) to 100000.
Change the value of WaitReplyTimeout(ms) to 6,000,000 ms. The default value is 600,000 ms and may not be long enough.
Restart IIS by going to Start > Run and typing in iisreset. Then click Ok.
Retry the failing application.

This error should be easy to fix

If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. You must use the previous owner's password to get permission to use the device. If you cannot get the password your father put on the iPad you will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

A month ago my iPhone was stolen, I turned on Activation Lock but it never came out BUT an hour ago somehow my apple ID was changed and someone removed from the account both iPhone and iPad and the iPad was also removely wiped. Can Apple help me somehow?

A month ago my iPhone was stolen, I turned on Activation Lock but it never came out BUT an hour ago somehow my apple ID was changed and someone removed from the account both my iPhone and iPad and the iPad was also remotely wiped. As soon as I saw it I recover the password and return the access to my iPad. But iPhone is not registered for my apple ID any longer. Can Apple help me somehow? I have all the documents and the iPhone box. Will they lock the iPhone and return me access to it. I'm sure it's been attached to another apple ID.
PS. the apple ID I'm using on the discussons is not the hacked one.

Try contacting the Apple account security team and ask: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699.

You made a purchase and exhausted the credit on your card before it processed. All purchases are final. Contact iTunes Store support. You need to settle up before you can purchase or download anything else.
