Setting default account for sending email

I have 4 accounts I use for sending email, but would like to have one be the default and can't figure how to do that. there is a check box next to the outgoing server dropdown that says use only this account. I don't think that is what I want, nor am i clear what that would do.
Is there a way to set a preferred outgoing account?
Does that require a plug in or helper app of some sort.
thanks for any suggestions.

In Mail>Preferences>Composing:
Use Send new messages from: to select an account.

Problems setting a Yosemite domain name account for Send only

What do I do in Yosemite Mail so that my DOT MAC account is IMAP, but so that I can also send email from a domain account that is a POP account at GoDaddy?
My Dot Mac / iCloud account is my primary Mail account. I also have a domain name account that I use only for sending mail. The domain name account is a POP account, not an IMAP account. The domain server (not an Apple server) forwards the email to my Dot Mac account as it comes in, but I do NOT sync mail or even pick up mail from the domain name server.
With Yosemite, Apple apparently changed the way it deals with that situation. I say "apparently" because I'm having a hard time getting help on this. Before Yosemite, I had the domain account enabled, but while there was a password for sending there was no password for picking up the domain name mail. Every once in the while over the years that setup would get flaky (as Apple made changes on its end?) but usually it worked.
I continued that setup with Yosemite, but a few months ago I started having problems. My mail worked as normally, but during the night or the morning, many messages would arrive as unread duplicates, and many emails I didn't want deleted were permanently deleted. Oddly, in addition, I had an easy time keeping the setup on my MacAir but I had a hard time keeping it on my Mac Mini, even though both have Yosemite.
I took my MacAir to an Apple genius who said the settings had changed in Yosemite. He somehow reset the account for Send Only by clicking a box. Everything worked fine for a week or so,* But then I could no longer send domain name mail, I couldn't find the setting, and I went to another Genius, who didn't know what I was talking about and who couldn't solve the problem.
I need to be able to send my domain name account without making it an IMAP account, but can't figure out how.
thanks
* In other words, the Dot Mac IMAP worked correctly, the POP messages forwarded correctly to DOT MAC (without any duplication problems), and I was able to send mail from the domain account.

I've not tested it but if you simply leave the incoming mail server field in the Mail account preferences blank for that account blank but set up the outgoing server and do not check "include when automatically checking new mail" you should be able to send but not receive
OR undo the forward that you have set up from #2 to #1 and use both normally

Is there any way to setup a email account for sending only

is there any way to setup a email account for sending only? i have a pop account that i fwd to my google acct, so all my mail is mapi thru google/exchange. i do need this account as a send email address so currently i have entered a wrong password so i do not duplicate my inbox. its annoying as i get the bad reteival popup continuessly. Many email products, like outlook allow you to decide which accounts to download. it should be a simple fix from Apple, but dont think there is any one to talk too about this. other option is to use the gmail app or chrome, but like apple's email better for iphone Any ideas??

How to prevent exchange email account from sending emails in Outlook

Hello,
I'm using Outlook 2010 with two email accounts. First account is set up with pop/smtp (hosted email), Second account is set up with local exchange server 2003 (not full exchange, only used to store emails, calendars, public folders). For sending & receiving
emails we use hosted email account pop/smtp, which is default account.
The problem is when I receive meeting request.....if i hit Accept > Send the Response Now, for some reason it will try to send from the Exchange account (which is not set up for sending emails).
The only workaround I know is to hit Accept > Edit the Response before Sending > change account from exchange to pop and send.
Would you please help me if there is a fix or any way to disable exchange account from sending emails !!
Thanks a lot !!!

When the meeting is added to the exchange calendar, it wants to send the response. One way to solve it (and i think the easiest) is to configure the exchange account to send mail using a smart host. Configure your hosted email address as the default smtp
address - the server will send any mail it receives and the address on it will be your correct internet address.

How do I modify the default account for events in iCal?

I have several email accounts (for biz&home) and I want to use them, depending on the event, as the account from where an invitation from iCal is sent. So if a have a football game with friends, I want to use my personal account when sending an iCal event. But when I want to make a biz meeting, I want to use my work account in that invitation. How or where can I make these selections/options appear? Is it possible?
If not, how can I set the default account for invitations in iCal? (I already have a "default" account in Mail, but iCal is not using that account for invitations).
Any help is appreciated

Hi salazar2,
Been dealing with a similar issue for about 3 years now, so I know your pain. I founded a company in 2009 called Zamain that is focused on making Mac calendaring more productive. Our first product, Zamain for Mac, solves your problem as well as Apple iCal to Microsoft Outlook/Exchange incompatibilities. The current version includes the following features:
* Sends iCal invitations that Outlook users can actually open
* Sends invitations from any email account
* Lets you add comments to invitation replies
* Makes timezones actually work
* Prevents weird attachments from appearing in your invitation emails
Although I know that this is a shameless plug for my product, I urge you to give it a try because it will really make your life easier. We have a happy user base, are actively developing new solutions, and are always open to suggestions.
You can get Zamain for Mac at www.zamain.com.
Thanks!

But there is a (high) possibility that Gmail's server requires authentication (or certification) to connect to it.
I wonder if they're simply silently dropping emails in certain cases. I forgot earlier that I have a Gmail account. If I send an email from the command line on my home computer, which is on Comcast, the mail log shows that I successfully connect to Gmail, the message is sent and accepted by Gmail, but the email never arrives in my inbox. I've tried several times with the same result.
However, emails from a web server from work get through to Gmail without a problem. So I'd bet it's a case of them not delivering mail from Comcast IP addresses.
For grins, I also tried sending to my Yahoo email account from my home computer and their server at least refuses the connection and I get an error message stating that it's because it's a residential IP address.
In this case you need an SMTP client (=a software which directly sends the mail to the Gmail server) which supports authentication.
I think this might also be possible with Postfix by editing the configuration files. I know I had to set up authentication to send emails to my work address directly from my home computers, but I haven't been able to get the same thing to work with Gmail yet. If I get a chance, I'll look into it again later tonight.

Email account can send email but cannot recieve

My new contractor email account can send email but cannot receive. GIT had identified the problem "Mail record not created in LDAP" but it has been more than a week and still no fix.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
James

Hi James,
Contractors by default are not provided email access. Your manager needs to request for a mail record from APS. If your manager had already requested for a mail record, then you need to raise a service request with helpdesk.
Moreover you're reporting this issue in the wrong forum.
Thanks,
Jereen

HT4859 How do I keep one Apple ID account for the family, yet have different iCloud accounts for calendar, email, etc.??

How do I keep one Apple ID account for the family, yet have different iCloud accounts for calendar, email, etc.??

First decide which iPhone will be keeping the current iCloud account. On the others, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On iPhone. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account.
Once all your devices have their on iCloud accounts, to un-merge the data you will have to go to icloud.com on your computer, sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want (such as deleting your son's contacts from your account, and vice versa).
You should also use separate Apple IDs for services such as iMessage and FaceTime. Otherwise, you're likely to end up getting each other's text messages and FaceTime calls. If you need to change these, for iMessage go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a separate ID (such as the one just created for iCloud). For FaceTime, do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.

Hi,
According to your description, you want to set default value for TaxonomyWebTaggingControl.
I have a test in my environment. It could be achieved by setting the Text Property of TaxonomyWebTaggingControl.
Here is the code snippet:
TaxonomySession session = new TaxonomySession(SPContext.Current.Site);
SPSite site = SPContext.Current.Web.Site;
TermStore termStore = session.TermStores["Managed Metadata Service"];
Group group = termStore.Groups["GroupA"];
TermSet termSet = group.TermSets["A"];
Term term = termSet.Terms["A1"];
TaxonomyWebTaggingControl1.SspId.Add(termStore.Id);
TaxonomyWebTaggingControl1.SSPList = termStore.Id.ToString();
TaxonomyWebTaggingControl1.TermSetId.Add(termSet.Id);
TaxonomyWebTaggingControl1.TermSetList = termSet.Id.ToString();
TaxonomyWebTaggingControl1.AllowFillIn = true;
TaxonomyWebTaggingControl1.IsAddTerms = true;
TaxonomyWebTaggingControl1.IsMulti = false;
TaxonomyWebTaggingControl1.Text = string.Format("{0}|{1}", term.Name, term.Id.ToString());
Here is a detailed article for your reference:

Someone has hacked into my account and sending emails (iCloud) pretending to be me. I've changed my icloud password. Do i need to do anything elase?

Someone has hacked into my account and sending emails (iCloud) pretending to be me. I've changed my icloud password. Do i need to do anything else?

You should consider enabling two-factor verification on your Apple ID, to further protect it. Without doing that, it's entirely possible that a hacker who gains access to your account in the future could take control of your Apple ID away from you entirely.
You also should consider whether any confidential information might be stored in iCloud. If you have made the mistake of putting a list of passwords in the Notes app, for example, that list should be considered compromised, and all passwords should be changed (and removed from the Notes app).
If you used the same password as your old iCloud password for other accounts, you need to change the password on all those accounts.
You should also alert your contacts that your e-mail was compromised, so that they are cautious about trusting any attachments supposedly coming from you. Keep in mind that the spammer can continue to "spoof" your e-mail address on the From line of new e-mail messages, even without access to your e-mail account.

How to set default values for boolean columns

I'm trying to deploy some content types and columns into a site with a feature. All it's ok, except that I'm trying to set a default value for boolean columns with no success.
I've tried to set default value at column level:
<Field ID="{EFE23A1D-494E-45cf-832E-45E41B17F0CF}" Name="ScopeSpanish" DisplayName="Se publican noticias en español"
Type="Boolean" Hidden="FALSE" Group="Columnas ShaCon" >
<Default>TRUE</Default>
</Field>
and at content type level:
<FieldRef ID="{EFE23A1D-494E-45cf-832E-45E41B17F0CF}" Name="ScopeSpanish" DefaultValue="TRUE" Required="TRUE" />
But in any case, when i create a new item with this content type, default value is applied.
Can anyone tell how to set default values for boolean columns?
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Sergio

In the field definition you can set
<Default>1</Default>
or
<Default>0</Default>
