Sent email won't recognize default account on my iph4

I have several different email accts on iph4. I send an email from my hotmail ( default acct in settings ) but it says it has been sent by the OTHER hotmail accts. How is this fixed?

If you are replying to an email it will used the acct the original email was sent to. I know that it uses the default email acct for when you send an email from outside of the mail client. Are you trying to send a new email from within the mail client on your phone?

I have a sync key, have installed Firefox 28, but it won't recognize my account?

Ok. Firefox was my main browser on my old laptop, but I ended up having to wipe it's hard drive a few weeks back.
Before I wiped the hard drive I saved a recovery key. It did not say that I needed an account, just the key, so that is literally all I have. I did not have a firefox account back then. (Note: I'm pretty sure I didn't have an account at least, because when I searched for an account on Firefox with the only two emails that I use it couldn't find an account under either.)
Now that I'm trying to recover my old data, I've read that I have to download a pre-29 version of Fireox, so I got Firefox 28 mobile, but the damn thing insists that I need a Firefox account ALONG WITH the recovery key to gather the old data. It won't recognize my new account info (that I just made when I downloaded the newest version of Firefox before realizing it wouldn't be able to sync), so now here I am. With a seemingly useless sync key, a useless sync account, and all of my old bookmarks and passwords lost to the ages.
Is there anything I can do, or should I just give up?

hello, for the old sync system in firefox 28 and below you also had to sign up with a mail address and password originally - to connect firefox to the old account you would need to have all those three pieces (mail, password & recovery key) available to you unfortunately...

Apple Mail: Email not sending from default account

Note: Default email send worked fine in Mavericks. The issues seems to be new in Yosemite.
I have 3 emails accounts: Exchange, Gmail, Yahoo. In that order. They are placed in that order in the Accounts section of Apple Mail. They are also placed in that order in the mailbox listing under Inbox in mail.
When creating a new email, the top account, Exchange, is rarely chosen as default. Either Gmail or Yahoo are chosen...and occasionally Exchange. I send 90% of my mail from the Exchange SMTP server; now forced to manually change the outbound Account within the mail message itself almost every time.
Again, this is a brand new issue in Yosemite where it doesn't appear to recognize the default account to send email from in Mail.
Anybody else seeing this?

Hi Will, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Tough to tell what you've tried, is this one you've tried...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.

Email sending from non-default account

I have an iPhone4 running 4.3.1. I have two email accounts set up - a Yahoo (POP) account and a GMail (IMAP) account. The Yahoo account is set as default but I have just discovered that when I send a new email it is being sent from the GMail account, not from the default account. Iam fairly sure taht this has only started happening recently. Has anyone any idea what is causing this please?

I've solved this one! I had a new phone a week ago and restored it from iTunes. After the restore it is necessary to re-enter passwords and I forgot about the password in the SMTP definition for the default (yahoo) account. The non-default (Gmail) account didn't have a password in the SMTP definition so the iPhone cleverly decided if it couldn't send from the default account, it would send from the other one!

I want always bcc an email but not to default account. Can i set this up automatically?

i want to automatically setup a bcc to an email address but not the default email address of the ipad? does any one have any clue on how to do this?

Auto BCC to the default account is the only option you have on the iPad. Depending on the mail provider, you might have an option for this on the server (web interface access). Worth checking out.

Firefox won't recognize FF account username on a new install on new computer.

I know I have the right username, email, and password, because I am looking at them on my existing laptop. But on installing FF 28 on my new laptop and trying to start the Sync process, I keep getting the message "unknown account."
I am getting this sign in message when I choose start sync process on my new computer. But I can't sign in, let alone start the pairing process.
I have done the pairing process before, recently, with my desktop and my existing laptop, so I know it works. Something about FF is not allowing it to recognize my correct email.
I'm on Win 8.1.
Thank you.

Thanks. It turns out I got my new computer at the exact time that FF dramatically changed their sync system. There was never a previous email or username or password, so the sign in page was misleading. Many users reading this will have to create an account, upgrade all their synced computers, unsync them, then sign in to their new FF accounts. Syncing will happen automatically.
The problem with "automatic" syncing was illustrated by my experience. Instead of syncing on the computer I wanted to copy, it synced from the computer I wanted to change. So, all my computers got all the bad passwords and duplicates of many good ones. It took a long time to straighten that out. But I made the changes on one computer and that changed the others. And new changes will automatically update. So it's an "easier" system. Still, I wish there was a way to choose when to sync. But thanks for the help anyway.

Sent emails won't send!

Does anyone know if there is an issue in having too many emails overall (including sizable attachments) in the mail app, even though they are not in my Inboxes or other folders within Mail? For example, I periodically take out maybe 6 months of emails at a time from my InBox and Sent boxes, and put them in storage folders within the Mail program (in the "ON MY MAC" folders). Is there a size issue in the Mail app that would affect my outgoing mail, even though the emails are in a separate folder (but still in the Mail app)?
Thanks for your help.
Michael

yes
Some mail servers have a size limit per folder. So lets say your size limit was 2GB per folder, and your sent items was full. When you go to send an email, it might send the message OK, but the email will stay in the outbox, because it cannot be moved to the sent items folder because of the 2gb limit.
You should check with your mail admin and ask what the limits are.
Hope this helps

PS won't recognize "default" printer

This is an annoyance rather than an emergency-I'm on a Mac, I have three printers, and I want to use one in particular for a PS printing task. I fill up the printer with the right paper, then call up the flle and hit "print", forgetting to notice that the assigned printer is the wrong one. So a wasted proof. So I go to Sys Prefs and set the "default" printer to the one I want, go back to PS, pick the file, hit print, and I still get the wrong printer, so I set the print dialogue box for the right one manually, get the print, call up another file, and hit print again. The Print dialogue box has reset back to the wrong printer. Photoshop seems to have its own "default" printer selection system, independent of the overall system preferences. Whether that's actually the case or not, How the heck do I get PS to recognize and use the "default" printer, rather than settling on its own random choice?

Further information: "Default" doesn't work in Illustrator or Photoshop, but it does work in other software, e.g., Apple Pages and MSWord. I haven't tried the system in other Adobe apps, but is this just an Adobe-Hates-Apple-and Apple-Hates-Adobe situation? Or is it just me?

IChat won't recognize AIM account password

Hi, I tried to use iChat for the first time today by establishing an AIM.com account.
iChat has the right account name for me, but every single time I try to log in, it tells me that the password or id is incorrect. I can log into AIM.com just fine. I checked the iChat preferences and put in all the right information and it is still refusing to log me in, saying it is incorrect.
How should I proceed? I have an important video conference to do with iChat this week, very concerned. Thank you.

Hi,
Welcome to the  Discussions
Can I ask if you registered a straight forward name as in ralphjohns or used and existing email address ?
If you used an email address does it have any unusual characters ?
For a long time the AIM servers have had links to various ISPs and Apple to allow those Email addresses to be valid AIM names (so [email protected] would work). However these try to confirm the password you have registered with those sources and certainly Apple Passwords can be longer than 16 characters which are then not allowed on the AIM Servers.
Registering a email address on the AIM registration page means you can set a password there and it should tell you if it were too long.
There is also the issue of special characters.
I have not tired to register an email ID but I do know that the regular method forbids certain characters.
I can foresee that AIM may check the email ID is valid but not check any character issues.
AS a test delete com.apple.ichat.AIM.plist and restart iChat.
This file in found in Hard drive/Users/(your account name)/Library/Preferences
This will force iChat to re-establish the Connection for login.
If that does not work go to the iChat Menu > Preferences > Accounts section and the Server settings tab and change the port to 443
(SSL must be On for Snow Leopard and then press Enter to "Set" the change)
Also try it with SSL Off as the AIM SSL server falls over more often than the regular server.
It is late where I am and I may not reply again until my tomorrow.

ITunes store won't recognize my account

Apple tv won't recognize iTunes account information

apple tv will allow us to enter pics in photostream. But we cannot log in to computers iTunes. We have sharing on. We have confirmed id and password in the iTunes account.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The Apple TV will work with ethernet or wifi, regardless of how the computer is connected to the network. The first thing I'd check is that both devices are using the same network (check the IP addresses of each, the first 3 combinations of numbers should be identical, ie 192.168.1.xx).
Also try restarting your router.
I'm assuming it's just iTunes on your mac/pc that it can't connect to, not the iTunes store, YouTube etc etc.

HT201342 I can't use my email won't recognize my password after I change it

I can't use my email

That would be your MobileMe account password. Send a request to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/mobileme.html or call the AppleCare phone number for your area. The phone no. will probably get a faster response from Apple.
Also ask your question in the MobileMe forum: MobileMe on my Mac. There will be users there that can answer it quickly.

IOS 8 Bug: In Mail the sender account defaults back to last account from which an e-mail was sent overriding the default account setting

I cannot get over it ... how can a company that designs such wonderful hardware write such poor software? Apple should really feel ashamed. Anyone Windows-bashing should realise that computing is about more than just fancy screen backgrounds. I am so sick of this.
Anyway - here is my latest bug report (which as an IT professional I should charge Apple my time for):
When you access multiple mail accounts from your iPhone (iOS 8.2 12D508) you need to specify a default mail account. This is (or at least used to be in working implementations of this feature in previous iOS versions) the mail account that mails will be sent from unless the user selects another account.
The problem in the current iOS version is: After sending a mail from a non-default account, the next mail will also be sent from the same non-default account rather than from the actual default account. The incorrect sender account gets selected after picking a mail recipient.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Send an e-mail from a manually selected non-default mail account on your iPhone.
2. Start composing another e-mail. Initially, the correct default account is shown as sender account.
3. Now select a recipient address.
==> This is when the sender mail account reverts to the last e-mail account that a mail was sent from (in our case the non-default account).
Temporary Work-Around:
When the sender account reverts to the non-default account, manually select the default account again.
Apple, please go and do your homework! Fix this annoying bug. Thank you.

I can't see anything genuine about it!
Since the link to the Apple id: Tips for... actually says it goes to a site named "bingo", I think it's quite clear that this is a phishing email, designed to get you to click on and go to their site, not an Apple one. I hope you have not clicked on the link.
It is not a good idea to put your own persoanl information in a post on a public forum. I will ask our hosts to remove it and the link. Don't be surprised if they remove the entire thread.
