Selecting email acct in New Message + outgoing server??

Help me understand how to easily select email account from which to originate a new outbound message. The issue is as follows:
a. Under SUBJECT line, I can clearly select the email account from which to send from
but....
b. What is with the drop down box to the right of email selection drop down box to choose a outgoing email server?
Do you have to make a two step process when changing email account from which sending from?

The two are independent. 'From' enables you to choose the address from which the message is seen as coming by the recipient. If for example you own a couple of domains, each giving you an email address, you might be forwarding these to your normal ISP's mail, or collecting directly from the domain provider's POP server: when you reply to these various messages you would want to choose the account associated with them so replies to your your replies come to the correct address.
The server you would normally use would be your ISP: as a general rule other services won't allow you to use their outgoing servers unless you are connected directly to them (by dial-up for example) and you would use your ISP's server to send. If you have a Google Mail or MobileMe account then you can send using their outgoing server, and you can choose whether to use that or your ISP's server: it doesn't make much difference, but if there is a problem with your ISP then you might be able to use another as an alternative: you can set the preferred outgoing server with each account so in general you don't need this drop-down menu to be visible.
Note by the way that the MobileMe outgoing server won't allow you to use any address other than your MobileMe one, as a security measure.

Change the password on that e-mail account. It's possible that your account has been hacked/spoofed and spammers have used it to blast out junk, leaving you to 'pay the price'. If it's one where you can contact the company, contact them and ask them what's going on. (if this is g-mail, yahoo, hotmail, don't bother, there's no way to contact any sort of support)

Even after selecting Manually to view emaill still loading new messages all

Even after i choose to only receive mail manually when i select the mail icon it seems that the phone is still receiving mail even after i selected it not to. I proved it myself when i signed up to receive mail from ebay from my personal pc. it also received on my iphone even though i never opened the mail icon

I've noticed the same thing - even though I've set all my email accounts to 'manual,' when I check the phone after awhile away I find new messages have been dowloaded. Are other people having this problem? Any solutions? It's minor (I don't receive that much email) but annoying.

Mail how to save an email address from new message created?

Hi, I create a new message, type in the address, but i want to save the address in the address book. How the heck is this possible?
If i select the email address i control click it, there is NO menu and no options to save the address.
If i click on the AddressBook button in the tool bar, there is no add button, and i can't drag it to across either, or copy/paste.
The Help says "In a message that you are sending, click the arrow in a Smart Address you have entered and choose "Add to Address Book" from the pop-up menu." There is absolutely NO arrow and NO menu. Even when i turn ON 'Use Smart Addresses' There is absolutely Nothing in ANY menu that lets me save the address.
So how the frell is it even possible to save an address? So what, i have to send the email first then wait for someone to reply before i can select 'Add sender to AddressBook' from the message menu? This is madness and certainly not easy or intuitive. And what is the point of the AddressBook button in new messages toolbar?It does nothing. It opens a window and has no options to add an address or enter any details, only has 'TO' But i already know the address!!! Even if i create a new mail , I click the Address book button highlight the address in the list then click the 'TO' button, it does absolutely nothing, im expecting it to just add this address to the address field in the new mail i just created. I then closed the new mail, instead i click the AddressBook button in the main Mail app toolbar, i select an address in the resulting window, hit the 'TO" button, and mail creates a new message, but it doesn't add the address to the new mail's address field, nor does it close it self behind. What a disaster. I thought this was supposed to be simple and eazy, its a nightmare of a design.
I tried 10.4.5 and now just upgraded to 10.4.6 same problem.
Frustrated at the lack of intuitiveness.

Simplest I find is to send the message then look at it in your Sent mailbox. Move the mouse over the To: address and the address will get a blue bubble background with a drop-down arrow at the right end; click this and one of the options should be "add to address book".
When you start a new message, and click the Address book icon on its toolbar, an address book window should appear with all the entries (individual and group) from your address book. Selecting one (or several) of the entries and clicking to will add them to the To header in your new mail. Alternatively you can drag them. If this is not the behaviour you are seeing, please repost with a more descriptive subject. (It is better for both those trying to help, and those seeking solutions, if the problem described matches the subject!)
Once you have brought up the little address book window its design behaviour is to stay until you dismiss it; as you say, it does not close when you close the new email. At this stage, selecting an entry and clicking To should start a new email with the To header containing the selected email address. If this is not happening I suspect it is related to your previous problem, so I would include the description there.

Problem encrypting email when composing New Message

This may be a bug in Mail app version 4.2 (1078). I am trying to send an encrypted email to a recipient. I already have the recipient's public key in Key Access. If i click on the New Message button and i enter the recipient's email address, the encrypt button is greyed out and i cannot click on it to encrypt the email. However, if i click on the Reply button or if i click on the sender's name and choose the "New Message" option in a digitally signed email sent to me earlier, i can encrypt the email without any problem.
I have tried deleting the recipient's entry in my address book and add it back by clicking on his name and selecting "Add to Address Book" in the digitally signed email sent to me, but still, that did not help.
Anyone else seen this before?

Same problem here.
I made sure that both certificates were created with the Data Encipherment option set, but the padlock icon never gets enabled.

Selecting account when composing new message

With Mail, is it possible to automatically select the "from" address based upon entering a "to" address? I have a bad habit of composing a new message and sending it without thinking about which account I'm actually sending it from. What I'd like to do is be able to, for instance, enter my friend's name when I'm composing a new message, and based on that, Mail would automatically switch the sending account to my personal email account. When emailing my boss, automatically use my work account, etc.

Hi jp3,
Unfortunately Mail does not support what you're looking for. If you respond to an email it'll automatically select the appropriate account but not on the creation of a new message. The only "setting" for that is in "composing" where you can choose a default address (or) the account of the selected mailbox. If you go the second option, just make sure you're viewing the appropriate Inbox.

E mail. I can not send email to a contact from my list. When I hit their email address, the new message box comes up but the send icon is not highlighted and I can not send it. Why? How do I fix it. Happens on both I pad Air 2 and I Phone 5

WWhen I press the email of a contact, the new message box appears with the address but the send icon is not highlighted. Even after typing a message, I can not send it. This is on both I Phone 5 and I Pad Air 2. this just started and not sure what I did. Help please?

Read this thread, it's a bug that many are experiencing:

Thanks but that doesn't give me the information I need. I am putting an email on my ipod for people to contact me for iMessage and FaceTime but when I put the email in, it gives me an error saying that the email cannot be veirified because it is already in use. My Apple ID can be varified, just not the email that they will contact me with.

E75 email crash after new messages received via IM...

Hi guys,
I just changed my E66 to E75 and everything seemed ok, VoiP over sipgate works perfectly, querty keyboard is awsome, but I found one little problem which is a bit irritating.
I have two email boxes configured on my device, both are configured to receive emails via WI-FI and IMAP protocol. When I open one of them, it connects to the server automatically and receives new emails. Everything is brilliant when 1-3 new emails arrives but when I get more (5 or even 20 messages) the email reader crashes and closes all email application. When I enter to it again, I can see and read all theses new emails as normal. The issue is about the need to go to my email reader twice every time. I am pretty sure that this is the firmware issue, but I already have the latest one installed.
Does anybody have the same issue? Did anybody solve this?
P.S. Nokia guys, you make a great stuff. I changed more than 20 different Nokia models within past 5 years and all business class models were perfect. Newer ones are better and better as well. Cheers!

Hi,
My hotmail won't work either.
I have had problems since updating to the new software which was advised in a text message from Nokia.
I have also had problems with text messaging but that now seems to work ok.

Playbook email Folders for new "Messages."

I am getting confuseder and confuseder How do you create additional folders and sub folders in the new "native email" application in OS2?
This is the most elegant email client I have seen but there is precious little help available and what is, is obvious and could be lerned by try and fail. It can't be found but there must be a way to create more folders for saving messages received and sent.

Hi stephenrh
Creating folders in the BlackBerry® PlayBook™ tablet's native email application is not available. Are you trying to separate individual email accounts or just filter specific messages?
Thanks

You need to go see your IT person at work so they can add you to the BES server - they would have the password.

The OE New Message box does not open when I click on an email address in Firefox. This is not a problem when I use MS Explorer. How can I fix it?

OE is set as my default email in both Firefox and Windows XP. When I click on an email address on a website within Firefox the OE page comes up but the OE New Message window does not open. When I go to the same webpage using MS Explorer and click on the same email the OE New message does open. Is there a bud in Firefox that prevents the OE New Message from opening? Is there a way I can fix it?
