Setting a default "reply from"

I am creating a new email address -- [email protected] I'm setting mydomain.com to forward all mail to my .Mac mail (for the convenience of accessing mail on my .Mac page). Then I read the email in Mail.app. But when I reply to a message that arrives in Mail.app, it will by default send the reply FROM the .Mac account, cuz that's where it saw it come from. I'd like to have it reply from my [email protected] account but I don't see a way in Mail.app to set a default reply account. And I don't want to have to manually change every reply manually for all eternity.
Any ideas?
Thanks very much.

Hi Mitchell,
I believe you coud also add this new email account to your .mac page.
From .Mac Help:
Checking a second email account
You can use .Mac Mail on the web to check a separate POP email account in addition to your .Mac Mail account.
To receive mail from an external POP account:
1. Go to www.mac.com and click Mail on the .Mac tab.
Tip: If you're already logged in, you can click the Mail button on the .Mac main page.
2. Click the Preferences link.
3. Below Other Options, select the checkbox next to "Check mail from an external POP account." Type the POP account name, POP mail server name, and the account user name and password in the text fields provided.
4. Choose an option from the Destination Folder pop-up menu.
5. Select the checkbox next to "Leave Messages on Server" if you want to leave the original messages on the POP host server so you can still read them when you access the account directly.
6. Click Save.
After you have configured an external POP account, a link to check mail for this account will appear below your folders in the left pane of .Mac Mail. When you click this link, any new messages the account has received are delivered to the .Mac Mail destination folder you specified.
Also, you can set Mail to always send from the same account in Mail Preferences/Composing. In Addressing, select the account you want to send from.
Hope that helps!

Can I set a default Reply-From email address on my iPad/iPhone?

In Mail for the Mac, there is an option under the Compose settings to set a default Reply-From email address for all your emails, so that, regardless of which account any email came from, you will always reply by default from one specific address. Is there a way to set a default Reply-From address on the iPad/iPhone?

[EDIT: Sorry, mis-read question. Ignore me.]

Can you set a default "Reply-To:" on a per account basis?

I have two accounts set up in Apple Mail. One is a work account, and the other is my personal iCloud account.
For my personal emails, I would prefer to have any replies directed to an "email-for-life" address. My college alumni association has a service, which is essentially an email forwarder. The beauty of this is that I am not tied to a particular ISP such as iCloud, mobileme, .mac, etc. If I change ISPs, I only have to update the infomation on the forwarding system rather that letting all my personal contacts know that my email address has changed. For them, my permanent email address is of the form "<firstname.lastname>@<college>.alumni.edu". As such, I cannot use that address as my "From" address, as mosts ISP requirethe From address for authentication. I suppose this helps prevent spoofing.
I have seen instructions for setting a Default "Reply-To:" address in Apple Mail by setting the UserHeaders in Mail prefs via a Terminal window:
To set: Enter the following in a terminal window:
defaults write com.apple.mail UserHeaders '{"Reply-To:"="[email protected]";}'
To review settings: Enter the following in a terminal window:
defaults read com.apple.mail UserHeaders
To clear settings: Enter the following in a terminal window:
defaults delete com.apple.mail UserHeaders
My problem is that this sets the default for all email accounts in Apple Mail. I only want to do this for my personal email account. I want emails sent from my work account to reply to the work email addresss.
Is there a setting on the defaults write ... command such that I can apply the UserHeaders to only one account?
Regards,
Tim

What you could do is first rename the record to be imported
IMPORT SOURCE_TBL AS PS_SOURCE_TBL_ORG;
Then write a insert/select script from PS_SOURCE_TBL_ORG to PS_SOURCE_TBL defaulting column EXCHANGE_RATE_OPTN
Insert into PS_SOURCE_TBL (COLUMN,COLUMN,COLUMN,COLUMN, EXCHANGE_RATE_OPTN)
select PS_SOURCE_TBL_ORG (COLUMN,COLUMN,COLUMN,COLUMN, 'defaultvalue');
And then drop table PS_SOURCE_TBL_ORG to clean up your database.

How to set one default "reply-to" email address for multiple accounts

I have an iPhone 3GS. I have my own domain name which I want to use as my primary "public" email address. It is forwarded from the hosting ISP to my ATT/Yahoo email address. I also have a Gmail account. I would like recipients to see that it comes from my domain ([email protected]), but since it is actually going through ATT/Yahoo, I can only see how to set the "From" field to either my ATT/Yahoo account or my Gmail account addresses. Is this even possible?
Essentially, I don't directly access "[email protected]", but that's where I want it to appear to come from, regardless of where it actually originated.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mark

You get e-mails just fine, but do you have rights to log into the e-mail server at myfirstandlastname.com? If you can do that (check with your hosting ISP to find out if they will let you), then you can just set up the iPhone to use that e-mail server to send your mail. It's possible to set up an iPhone IMAP account to get mail from gmail, but use a separate non-gmail SMTP server to send outgoing mail, all within the same iPhone e-mail account.
If you can get this working, then you won't need to mess with reply-to headers. Your e-mail will not only look like it got sent from myfirstandlastname.com -- it actually WILL be sent from there and all replies will automatically go there and then be forwarded as usual to your ATT/Yahoo address. No one will know that ATT/Yahoo is involved, and both your sent and received e-mail will show up in the same single e-mail account on the iPhone.
I do this all the time with my e-mail. My account is really at gmail, but the e-mail address says it came from mycollege.edu. My old college offers me an alumni forwarding-for-life account. They only forward mail, though; they don't hold it. They do also run an SMTP server, though, and that's what I use to make my outgoing e-mail look as if it came from mycollege.edu.

TS3276 default reply email address

I am running OSX Lion. I am changing my email account and want to know if there is a way to set my MacMail so that ALL emails are replied to from the NEW account and not the account that they were sent to. I have changed my Preferences for "Send new messages from" to the new account but when an email comes to me from the old account and I select "Reply" MacMail wants to send the reply from the old account and I have to manually change the account to the new account. Is there some way to set the default REPLY TO account to the new account? Thanks.

Depending on the mail provider, some will change the from address to the server email address being sent through. I know GMail is like that. Try with one of the other addresses and change the smtp server to the new account's server and check the box to use only that server with that account.

Default 'reply to' for one given address

I use mail to manage several different addresses and servers. One work server specifically wants me NOT to use their outgoing server from outside their network. In fact you CAN'T use is somehow. No problem, mail lets me set the outgoing server for any account to gmail or mobileme or my home server. The problem is, when I send mail from that work account I ALWAYS want the reply to to be the work address. Right now, when I use the outside server, replied messages come to my home address. I would like to set a default 'reply to' address for just that one server so I don't have to type it every time. The rest of my addresses (like mobileme) I want to remain normal.
I'm sure this can be done, but I can't figure out how.

After more searching, I found this for anyone who is interested:

Adding a Default Reply-To Address

Hello all,
Is there any way to set a default reply-to address? I always want to send via .Mac but it won't let me set my redirection email address in the From. So I always want my reply-to to be an alternate address.
Thanks,
John

the method shown in the thread about adding a message
receipt
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=71
3245#713245
should also work for a default reply-to header (of
course, you would use "Reply-To:" instead of
"Display-Notification-To:" when running the command
in the Terminal).
I'd really like to have a Default Reply-To Address - have tried the suggestion above, but can't make it work.
I quit Mail, opened Terminal, copied in
defaults write com.apple.mail UserHeaders '{"Reply-To:"="[email protected]";}'
pressed return. Re-opened Mail, but no joy.
(I tried it with and without a colon after Reply-To.)
Is there a step I'm missing?
Thanks for any help.

Mac OSX Reader 10.1.2 – Cannot Change Default Printer From "Any Printer"

With Mac Acrobat Reader 9.x it was possible to use Page Setup to set the default printer from “Any Printer” to one of our choice. Once set it was possible to print many documents without having to go back and reset it every time. In other words it would ‘remember’ the setting.
Mac Acrobat Reader 10.1.2 does not remember the setting of the printer in the Page Setup dialogue and keeps reverting to "Any Printer" between printing; either from the same document or multiple documents. Thus on each occasion I need to print I need to go to Page setup and reselect the printer. Irritating, and time wasting.
Now this would not matter if there were not a slight, but nevertheless significant, improvement in print quality between a document printed with the correct printer and “Any Printer” selected in Page Setup.
NOW, before you all jump in with suggestions read this:
1: I do have the printer selected as the default printer in System Preferences (no difference anyway).
2: Selecting printer in the Print dialogue makes no difference to the print quality. It MUST be selected in Page Setup.
ADOBE, can you please get Mac Acrobat Reader X (10.x) to revert to the same behaviour as Reader 9.x ?
Thank you.

The same problem exists in Reader 11.0 for Mac. In my case, it defaults to our specialty photo printer instead of the workhorse laserprinter.

How do I set a default From email address when I write or reply to an email

I have more than one email address. I am using Windows 7. When I write an email or reply to one, Thunderbird always seem to use the same address even if is not the address that the sender of an email used. There must some setting that made this address a default. I would like to change the default. I know I can manually select the address I want, but like to have a different one for the default than the one Thunderbird is selecting.

I understand that you want each of several email accounts to act independently, such that mail for account 1 is sent and received only on that account, then account 2 likewise, etc.
For each email account, left click on the account name and then select 'View settings for this account'.
On the 'Account Settings' page, look at the 'Reply-to-Address' (should be blank) and also select the 'Manage Identities' box, which shows the default name and email address. If the default is not for that account, you can add or edit the entries and set the default.
Back on the 'Account Settings' page, select 'Outgoing Server (SMTP)' and check the user name/account there. It should be for the same account.
For each account, the other accounts should not be mentioned in any of the places identified above.

How to set a default "from" field on outgoing Mail message

i read through the last few pages of this support forum and googled my topic but i havent found a suitable solution.
in Mail v 3 (3.4) there is a "From:" field in any outgoing mail. very useful for those of us with multiple non-accounts and/or .Mac aliases. i generally set a specific outgoing mail server (so that field is removed from outgoing email).
my problem is how to set a default outgoing email address so that my recipients always get from a certain (eg work) email address when i am at work. at work, anything i send, i want to show my work email without always having to manually select the "FROM" field in the outgoing email.
( aside: i had read that Mail version 3 was supposed to auto-select any reply so that the reply would come from the same email i orginally sent as. this does not work on my mac.)
This problem is exacerbated as Mail auto-rotates between my 4 email accounts/aliases (which are all listed (correctly) in the FROM field. it would be great if this list could be fixed with a default FROM address.
eg i send an email from my work email address (FROM: [email protected]) the next email i send will be rotated through my list of .mac aliases. i.e. the next email i send will not be from [email protected], but from [email protected] the next time it might move on to [email protected] or it might revert to [email protected]
any thoughts on how to fix?
i have tried deleting the home/library/preferences/com.apple.mail.plist. that is fine, but any .mac aliases (which i do use, but i dont want to be listed in the "FROM" field) are listed in the "FROM" field, and are auto-switched through my Mail again.
i looked through Rules and Automator, but no obvious help there. any thoughts?

Did you try Preferences > Accounts > Account Information and entering these other email aliases in the Email Address: field, separated by commas? That would give you a pop-down menu in the New Message window letting you choose which alias to use when sending an email.
If you go to Preferences > Composing, there should be a pop-down menu near the middle of that window labeled "Send new mail from:" which will let you choose any email address you have entered in the Account Information field mentioned above, or "Account of last viewed mailbox" as the default.

Is there a way to set a default From address for my iCloud account?

Is there a way to have mail use my .mac address as my preferred iCloud address? I have mail configured to set the From header based on the account I'm accessing, so my work email will come from my work account, and my personal email will come from my personal account. I'd like to keep that configuration.
Unfortunately, I use my .mac address for my personal email, and Apple keeps attaching new, unwanted email addresses to my iCloud account (.mac.com, .me.com and now .icloud.com). Mail somehow sees three addresses on my iCloud account, and defaults the From header to .me.com. For a variety of reasons, including personal preference, I don't ever want to use the .me.com or .icloud.com addresses.
Alternately, is there a way to delete the unwanted .me.com and .icloud.com addresses?
Thanks

I appreciate the reply, but it only gets me partway there. I already have that option set to 'Account of selected mailbox' so that replies to email on my work account (a non-iCloud account) come from my work email address.
My problem is my personal mail is on an iCloud account that, thanks to Apple, now has three email addresses associated with it. So when I reply to a personal email, the 'Account of selected mailbox' option frequently, but not always, chooses the wrong iCloud address for the From field.
Ideally, I'd like to be able to tell Mail that it should use my .mac address for email from my iCloud account, and my work address for mails from my work account. I'd like it to never use the .me or .icloud addresses. I don't think there's an automatic way to do that.
I'll likely end up filing a bug report with Apple.

How do I set the default from email for invititations

I use my ical calendar for different business and personal calendars.
Is there any way to set up the "from" email account to coinscide with the calendar the event is made for.
i.e. If I make a personal event, the invite is sent from my personal e-mail, and if I make a business appointment, the invite is sent from my business account.
I was able to do this with google calendar, but I am trying to be all in the cloud.
Any help would be appreciated.
P.s. running 10.7 and iCal vs.5.0.1
Thanks

Resetting default reply-to and sent from

I followed the advice here to change my default reply to field in Mail https://discussions.apple.com/message/1667119#1667119
How do I edit Terminal to remove this instruction?
Also, I use an email forwarding address so that if I change ISP or change email account my address stays the same. How can I edit my iCloud account in Mail to display that forwarding email address as sent from when people receive emails from me?

Hi, Robert.
One possible solution is stationery. When you save custom stationery, the visible headers and anything entered into them are saved with that stationery.
e.g. Set up a new email with the Bcc: and Reply-To: fields visible and enter the appropriate addresses into those fields, then select Save as Stationery from the File menu.
To send an email using this stationery, in the New Message window you need to click Show Stationery and then click on your custom stationery. You can drag your custom stationery into the Favorites category if you like.
Not a perfect solution, but quicker than entering Bcc: and Reply-To: addresses each time, and certainly more flexible than the sledgehammer UserHeaders approach.

Is there a way to set a default "Source Range" in AME when exporting from Premiere Pro CC?

When exporting a sequence from Premiere Pro CC, you are able to toggle between 4 drop down options within Adobe Media Encoder on what Source Range you'd like to export (Work Area, Sequence In/Out, Entire Sequence, Custom) as seen here:
Is there a way to set the default Source Range to something besides Sequence In/Out?
My reason for asking is that sometimes I export multiple sequences at once using AME's Queue. I add my custom presets to each Sequence and hit export, but SOMETIMES I may have accidentally marked an in point on my timeline and by default it's set to export only that In-to-Out part of the sequence.
I know what you may be thinking...well, just don't add any In/Out points to your sequence on the timeline or clear them first. The trouble is that I often don't see them or catch them when working quickly. In Premiere Pro CC, I use the "Lighter Brightness" Appearance setting because it's easier on my eyes after editing 10 hours a day, 6 days a week. Sure, darker looks cooler, but it kills my eyes for some reason. Anyway, PPro CC has a troublesome appearance issue in CC where it's not "optimized" for editing when you change it to a lighter appearance like it was in CS6. I've already contacted Adobe about this and another appearance issue (involving highlighted clips when in Lighter Appearance setting) and they are "actively working on fixing this appearance issue asap".
For reference, here's Premiere Pro CC in/out points in default dark appearance (notice the slightly lighter grey area):
Now here's that same in/out in "Lighter Appearance":
Not exactly optimized. Can hardly see it. Good luck spotting that little guy on a long timeline. Sadly, this affects in/out points in the Source Window as well. Really hard to see.
Conversly, CS6 looked the best (the blue REALLY stands out making things easy to see):
So my question again...is there a way to set the default "Source Range" to something else besides Sequence In/Out so that I don't end up doing what I just did and leaving for several hours while batch exporting only to come back and find that I exported only a "portion" of one of my big sequences?
Thank you!

Here is the solution: Slow down. Give your project some love. Smell the roses.
Agreed about the roses but alas my next project always calls. Actually, I think what happens is I give each project SO much love that when it comes to exporting, I've run out of time.
shooternz wrote:
Then it would not be a default...it would be an option and you already have that option.
Semantics aside, I would love to be able to have it at least default to whatever option was last chosen. Or, perhaps I shouldn't use the word default again...I'd love it to simply remember my preferred setting. That's all.
