Set default BCC in iCloud mail?

Is there a way to auto-fill BCC in iCloud mail?
I would like all mail that I send from iCloud to be BCC'd to another address, but I don't want to have to insert the address manually every time I compose a message.
I need this mostly on iOS mail, but would also like it on Mac and web (iCloud.com).

Hey, pvonk & ebouy...
I think this solves the matter I've been researching, but I'm not positive. Perhaps y'all can clarify for me...
I know how to insert a script into OS X to automatically generate a BCC for every email that originates via Apple Mail; that works great, and I can have copies of all outbound emails sent to whatever email address I choose.
Now that I'm (finally) adding iPhones to the mix, I want to do the same thing. I.e., I want to tell either iOS or the mail client on the iPhone (v5, in case it matters) to automatically send a BCC for every mail that originates from the iPhone, and I want that BCC to be directed to whatever address I choose.
If I'm reading this string correctly, I need to make two settings:
1) Go to Settings > Mail > Contacts and find the "Default Address." Here, enter the email address to which I want the BCCs sent.
2) Go back to Settings > Mail and turn "On" the choice to "Always BCC Myself."
If I'm right about that, here's my question:
When I send mail from that device, is the "Reply-To" setting the mail address from which I originated the message or is it the "Default Address" that I named in Step 1 above?
Thanks!

Set default "from" field in Mail per account?

Is there any way I can set the default "from" field in Mail based on the account I'm sending from?
I have two accounts defined: work and personal. Each account has 2 email addresses associated with it (as a comma-separated list in the "Email Address" field under "Account Information"). Let's call the email addresses work-A, work-B, personal-A, personal-B.
In the Composing prefs I can either select ONE default email address to send ALL mail from, or I can select to send from "Account of Last Viewed Mailbox", in which case Mail will choose a work email address if I'm in a work mailbox and a personal email address if I'm in a personal mailbox.
That second option is great, except I can't control which work email address it chooses - A or B. Changing the order of the email addresses in the Account Information->Email Address field has no effect - it consistently chooses the "wrong" one :-/
Any way I can use "Account of Last Viewed Mailbox" and still set a default mail address per account?

Since my last post, I found tried putting
Preferences->Accounts->Email address to be my edu address
would add my .edu address as one of my from choices
Next, I sent myself a mail message, with following result:
The .edu address is now rejected by the outgoing server with the message:
Cannot send message using the server
The sender address (my .edu address) was rejected by the server
I had this working at some time, but not now. Help, please.

How to set default color to e-mail

I want to set a default color for all e-mail messages and although I have tried to set the color it doesn't seem to work ... second day with a mac, so speak slowly.
Also want to set up a signature with the name in one color and address and contact info a different color. I went into mail>preferences>signatures and was able to change font on different lines of signature ... but when I tried to apply colors, it didn't work
Thanks very much in advance for your assistance, halboye

that's not possible. you'll have to do it for every message individually.

that's possible. while editing a signature go to Format menu->show fonts. in the popup click on T with a green rectangle next to it. that's the button for font color. you'll get yet another popup for color. highlight some text in the signature and click on the color you want.
Thanks very much in advance for your assistance, halboye

HT201342 Setting up IMAP for iCloud mail & gmail in Mozilla - Help

On first setting up up Mozilla I successfully included iCloud and gMail. Something happened and it lost them. The only crash I have had on here since new, over a year ago. I am running Mozilla in Windows 7 Ultimate.
It will not set the iCloud or gmail accounts up again. Perhaps I guessed the settings correctly the first time round. So, next time I will make a note.
Can anyone please give me the IMAP settings for both to enter into Mozilla's creat an account?
Thanks!

Took some time, so I have answerred my own query, but others may benefit!

Setting Default Email address in Mail client

All,
With using .Mac accounting, I could only use [email protected] for sending email. However, what/how could I do if I want to set my email address to another one?
Thanks,
Kenny

Hi Kenny!
Do you only see one account there? Only the .mac one? Hmmm...what about if you click on your Accounts tab? How many accounts are there in the left window pane? And assuming you have two accounts there if you click on the account and then click on the Advanced tab in the main portion of the window is the box selected that says enable this account?
What I'm getting at is if you have two accounts that are enabled you should be able to select which one you want to send your mail from. The only thing I can think of that makes sense is if this other account is not enabled?
Let me know...Reg

Icloud mail is not set up in outlook

I am helping someone who never got Outlook and iCloud talking. They have Outlook 2007 and Windows Vista. They have iCloud 2.1.3. They have an iPhone 4s with IOS 7. There is an iCloud folder in Outlook, but it is empty.
In iCloud on my PC, I get the message "icloud Mail is not set up in Outlook". Under the message is another message I can click on "Set up [email protected] in Outlook" where myname is the first part of the email i am using in Outlook ([email protected]). I have "Contacts, Calendars, & Tasks with Outlook" checked. I click on the "Set up..." message and then I get "Setting Up..." with a spinning wheel next to "Contacts, Calendars, & Tasks with Outlook", The "Setting Up..." has been there overnight, so I think something is wrong.
Any help would be great.
Thanks

I set my gmail to forward to iCloud mail will it send mail

I set my gmail to forward to iCloud mail. Is it possible so that responses to email will automatically respond with my gmail address as the sender or will it default to iCloud? Thanks

Hello there dinadinadina,
It sounds like you have modified the password settings for your Gmail account after changing the password. Thats where I would have started too. Next I would restart the device and test it one more time, and then remove and add the account again in Settings:
Get help with Mail on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
Restart your iOS device.
Delete the affected email account from your device.
Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Tap the affected email account.
Tap Delete Account.
Add your account again.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

Having been without my Mac for a month I've been using iCloud mail. The new mail boxes that I set up there do not automatically show up in Mail on my replacement Mac. Is there any way to transfer them from ICloud mail to Mail?

sure pretty simple. make a backup of your current settings
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US
then restore device from old backup you need pics off of
then import pics to computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
you may need to save pics to camera roll first
then restore the new backup and sync pics back to phone via itunes
Peace, Clyde

Unable to set the default sending account in Mail?

I have three IMAP accounts set up in Mail and when I want to send an outgoing email can easily use the drop down to pick which account is used. The issue is I'd like to specify which of the three is used by default. I've searched on how to do this and the supposed answers are not working for me.
First, in Mail preferences, it's been posted you can drag the order of the accounts. That does not work for me at all, they are not draggable.
Second, in System Preferences there's been some talk of setting defaults in the Mail, Contacts & Calendars panel. When I try to access one of the accounts there it asks me for the password, I enter the correct one, and it fails saying unable to verify the password.
Can this be done at all? Is there a bug in System Preferences?
Thanks in advance!

Spinland,

Depending on exactly what you want to do, there are a couple of ways of handling this. You may want to access teh user guide for some ideas: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/ipad_user_guide.pdf

From the Mail menu bar, select
