Requested to verify default e-mail account

I use Thunderbird to manage my e-mail accounts (1 x hotmail; 3 x btinternet). Ever since I set up a BT sub-account I have been unable to write and send e-mails from my default BT account. As of yesterday I am now unable to to write and send e-mails from one of the sub-accounts as well.
I have frequently tried to remedy the situation but received this message:
An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: From address not verified - see http://www.btyahoo.com/verify. Please verify that your email address is correct in your Mail preferences and try again.
The help pages regarding verifying an account merely sent me around in circles and succeeded only in enraging me.
Check [email protected] to verify that you own this address. If you don't see a confirmation email, try resending it from here.
So I click on the link and it takes me to my mail account: that's all!
In the hope that the fault lay in my choice of Classic BT Yahoo mail I updated this morning to the 'new' version and my latest attempt to follow the instructions on the http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/38595/c/346/session/L2F2LzEvdGltZS8xMzY3MzE3MzY2L3NpZ... page yielded only this:
Sorry, the email address given matches your default email address. Please try with some other address.
I've now spent four and a half of the last fourteen hours trying to resolve this problem. I am aware that I am perfectly capable of making really stupid mistakes but I do feel that the help pages do not address this particular problem.
I'd be very grateful (and so would my family!) if someone could solve it for me.
Many thanks.

Hi. Welcome to the forums.
The reason for the issue is almost certainly to do with the Thunderbird settings. In essence, each account in TB needs to have its own smtp outgoing server item setup. The item in the account settings (Outgoing Server (SMTP)) will point at an smtp setting, it is this that needs to be unique for each BTinternet account - otherwise using one in use by another account will result in this verification email request.
You can use the existing one for one of the accounts, as long as the email address in the settings is the same as the one you are sending "from".
If you need any extra info with regard adding new smtp server details, or altering the existing one - just pop back.

Outlook Express and Netscape/Default e-mail account

I have recently replaced my Internet Explorer with Netscape 7.02. When I send an e-mail from a website on Netscape, it prompts me to set up a new account to send the e-mail. IE always launched Outlook Express when I sent an e-mail from a website. Outlook Express is designated as my default e-mail account in Control Panels. Netscape support has been of no help. Can I get Netscape to go to my Outlook Express to send e-mails from websites or must I use the e-mail application that comes with the Netscape?

Greg,
Trouble is that having changed mine to OE a longtime ago I'm not sure that what I see is what you see.
Having gone to about:config do you see network.protocol-handler.external.mailto if you scroll down? I do, but that may be because I have changed already.
If you do see it control-click on it and a drop down menu will come up in which you choose New > Boolean. Having chosen that enter network.protocol-handler.external.mailto when prompted then follow the instructions in the link I gave.
If you don't see it (and it sounds as though you don't) just control-click anywhere on the page and do the same.
Sorry I can't be more precise, it's ages since I did mine.

Had problem with my hotmail account and had to change my password. Ever since then, my default e-mail account set up to hotmail doesn't work...it sends from gmail. How can I correct that?

On your iPhone you need to change your password in 2 places:
- Incoming Mail Server and
- Outgoing Mail Server
To get to the password entry for the Outgoing Mail Server you have to tap on cell smtp.live.com and again on the second view.

Default Outgoing Mail Account

I can't figure out how to control the default outgoing mail account. I have 3 accounts, and the mail program doesn't always select the first mailbox listed, which Help tells me it should do.
How do I control this?

There is no default email account selection in Jaguar or Panther Mail when selecting New to compose a new message. This was added with Tiger Mail.
When you compose a new message, the From address is selected in the following order:
If a message is currently selected, Mail uses the account the message belongs to, if it can be determined from the headers of the message, or by the account mailbox the message resides in.
If an account mailbox is currently selected (an account's Inbox or Sent mailbox in the mailboxes drawer), Mail uses the account the mailbox belongs to.
If no message or account mailbox is selected, Mail uses the email address for the first account listed in the Accounts pane of Mail Preferences.
When you reply to a message, the From address is selected in the following order:
The To and Cc fields are compared to email addresses you have set up in Mail Preferences. Mail uses the first address it finds as the reply address.
If the message is in an account mailbox, Mail uses the email address for the account the mailbox belongs to.
If all else fails, Mail uses the email address for the first account listed in the Accounts pane of Mail Preferences.

Default e-mail account and Outlook

I sync up w/ Outlook. I have added three e-mail accounts to my Storm and they work fine. When I go to Calendar => Options I see the three accounts and one called "default". When I go to Options => Advanced Options => Default Services the "Default" account is not an option. How can I add the "Default" account to the list so that I can make it my default service?

Hi Hergie9550 and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums!
Are there currently any entries in your default Calendar on your BlackBerry? Do the email selections appear under the Default Services section in your Options screen?
Thanks.

Change default outgoing mail account according to recepient

Is is possible to have the default mail account (I have three: University, personal, and @me.com) change automatically according to the primary email in the "To:" field?

Well, no. But it will change automatically according to any email you're replying to, based on what mailbox the original was sent from.
Mail->Preferences->Composing->Send new messages from "Account of selected mailbox."

Mail's default mail account.

Hi, all.
After many frustrated incidents with e-mails being sent from the wrong account, I decided to (again) try to find a solution to this problem.
In Entourage, my previous e-mail client, the solution to this problem was to create a phantom e-mail account and set it up as the default account without the proper account settings. In this case one of two things would happen: (1) I would either remember to set the proper sending account in Mail before sending a message, or (2) in case I forgot Entourage would use the default e-mail account and this would generate an error message in which case I would be allerted to the need to set the proper sending account the resend the e-mail message.
Is there a way to avoid this problem in Mail ? Can I designate no account or a phantom mail account as the default?
Thanks in advance.

Hi, drdocument.
I don't think this solution would work for me because I have Mail set-up with multiple e-mail accounts.
What happens then when I need to change the server prior to sending a message?
Thanks for your help and reply.

Problems with multiple e-mail accounts on Droid 2 & also can't put phone into Silent mode

I just received my Droid 2 and having a problems with having multiple e-mail accounts.
My original droid worked fine with all of this.
I have 2 different personal e-mail accounts setup.
When I click e-mail, it just defaults to the default e-mail address and I have no way of switching accounts. I have to change the default e-mail account in order to view the other account.
Along with having a shortcut on the home page to each e-mail account, it always just goes to the default one and no way of adding a shortcut to both.
When I did this on the original droid, i could choose which e-mail account I wanted a shortcut for and could obviously have both on the home screen.
I also have found no way to NAME the accounts, ex. Comcast & Work.
That way I could distinguish the difference between the 2 on my home screen even if I could get a shortcut to both.
not sure how this could be overlooked but I sure dont think there is a way to make this happen.
Also, what is with 2.2 System and not allowing you to put it in silent mode?
I updated my original Droid to 2.2 and could no longer make it silent with the volume button on side or going into the sound settings and changing it to silent, it would always stay on vibrate.
And now it does the same thing with Droid 2. I cant make it silent at all.
Any ideas on either issue

ok I got the silent problem fixed.
The update changed vibrate to be always, even when on Silent mode.
The e-mail problem however is stll an issue and I realy hope they release an update to fix this.
I'm sure I'm not the only one with 2 e-mail accounts on their droid.
I never had an original Droid, so I can;t compare to what was on that. For me, I am using the "Messaging" app - it seems to be set up for multiple e-mail accounts better than the email app. Messaging is the one recommended by the manufacturer - give that a try.

Can Siri send from secondary e-mail account?

I have two e-mail accounts. I haven't been able to figure out how to send an e-mail from my secondary account instead of from my default e-mail account.
Does anybody know how to do this? Or if it just isn't a feature yet?
Thanks,
Jeff

I haven't discovered any new information. I suspect you can't yet change accounts. Hopefully in the future you'll be able to tell Siri to send an e-mail from "my personal account" or something like that.
"Siri, my personal e-mail account is the one with [email protected] as the e-mail address"
"Siri, send an e-mail from my personal account"

TS3276 iPhone 4S - Mulitiple mail accounts. Send mail on one account, but reply comes on another

I have six e-mail accounts for different purposes. I am sending e-mails out on specific accounts and am finding that a response is coming from one of my other accounts. I know you can set a default e-mail account, and I have. But the e-mail that the responses are coming in on are not on the default account, nor on the account I sent it from. It makes absolutely no sense! And, is concerning.
Does anyone else have, or have had, this probem? If so, is it fixed? How? Help! Thank you!!

Not sure why, but has your wife tried deleting and manually recreating the account with the iPhone's mail client?

Mail: unable to connect to my SMPT server? Also new Mail Account defaults to iMap and won't let me change to Pop?

Dear All,
I've been with the same UK internet and email provider for years and they've given me solid and reliable service. I've worked my way through the Apple Knowledgebase checklist and tests and proved that my isp/esp is working normally so the problem has to be with Mail.
I fiddled about trying to create a Mail Account on my late 2011 but-new-to-me MacBook Pro a couple of days ago and, it might be completely unrelated and simply a coincidence, but since then none of my devices, Iphone 4S, Powerbook G4, iPhone 3G, the MBPro can send email using Mail.
Whenever I try I get prompted for my password but when I enter it says it's wrong but it definitely isn't because I even changed it this morning through my isp/esp and it worked and I then changed it back again to my correct password and it works also to get into webmail that is, not via Mail.
When I run Mail\Window\Connection Doctor and check the status it shows Mail is unable to connect to server but that it can connect to the internet. I get the following message: Trying to log in to SMPT account failed. Try to verify that username and password are correct.
Now, whenever I try to create a new email account on MacBook Pro Mail keeps defaulting to iMap and wont let me change it to Pop which is what I need.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Dear All,
I'll finish off this thread in case it's of use to anyone else in the future.
I couldn't get the email pop account to recognise my sign-in even though I've been using it continually and without problem for the last several years. It's always been BT and Yahoo so it's more likely to be the fiddle about I did on my temporary, pre migration user account that caused the hiccup.
In th end I had to create another pop account which I was able to once I'd migrated my settings from my PB G4 to the MB Pro. Unfortunately this didn't merge the numerous email folders that I'd created previously in Mail but I still have them on the PB and I believe they can be transferred manually which is what I will do.
Thanks for everyone that took the time to help.

Also if I go to system preferences accounts and re-enter the password it fixes the glitch sometimes.

I am being asked to verify my Apple ID. When I enter the password I get the message it is wrong. It says the e-mail address is already verified for another Apple ID and then it says it is sending an e-mail to my e-mail account that I then never receive.

This is most likely caused by an iCloud sign up (which forces you to use an email address as Apple ID).

How can I change the default mail account in mail v6.3

I have in my mail preferences four accounts. The first one is a "Google IMAP" and all others are just "IMAP". When I'm composing a new email it defaults to the wrong account. Intuitively I think the the first account listed under mail preference would be the default one, but I'm unable to move the order. How to I change this?

To change your default mail account, you just have to change the mail accounts order in the Mail sidebar. First of all, if you don't see your mailboxes under "Inbox" (at the top of the sidebar), press the arrow, and your mail accounts will appear.
Now, you just have to drag the mail account you want by default to the first position
