Setting the account your email is sent from

I have followed the instructions for Setting the account your email is sent from, but it is not working.
Email is not being sent from the account I have at the top of my list of accounts in my mail preferences.
How do I fix this problem?
IMAC G3   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

Copied from Mail Help:
If you have set up multiple accounts in Mail, when you create a new message, the account the message is sent from is the one associated with the currently selected mailbox. If the current mailbox is listed in the On My Mac section of the mailbox list and is not associated with any particular account, then your message is sent from the first account listed in the Accounts pane of Mail Preferences.
When you reply to a message, the From address is selected in the following order:
The To and Cc fields are compared to email addresses you have set up in Mail Preferences. Mail uses the first address it finds as the reply address.
If the message is in an account mailbox, Mail uses the email address for the account the mailbox belongs to.
If all else fails, Mail uses the email address for the first account listed in the Accounts pane of Mail Preferences.
Tiger Mail includes a default account selection for "send new mail from" regardless which mailbox is currently selected when selecting New to compose a new message.

  • My mother used to be the bill payer on my iTunes account so now every time I send an email from my iCloud account it sent with her name, how can I change the settings so emails are sent from myself?

    My mother used to be the bill payer on my iTunes account so now every time I send an email from my iCloud account it sent with her name, how can I change the settings so emails are sent from myself?
    I've changed the bill payer to myself but it stills says on emails that I sent that its from my mother.

    In order for the "From" field to show you options on the "from" addresses available, you must set them up in the Preferences > Accounts first.
    I can't show you a screen shot of the from field because I currently only have one account, so the from address used is the default. However, when I had more than one, then options will show up in your compose/reply window.
    You'd need to add an account here:

    Sound like a pfishing email rather than your account being hacked.  See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4933.

    how do I set which account the "event"/meeting request is sent from?  I have several accounts and currently iCal is sending all requests from my apple email (personal) account. This is bad!

    Christopher Graham wrote:
    Can he not just go into each account and set the default for each account the same "sent from" address?
    No you can't.  If you're in one account, and you create a new message, it defaults to the account you're in.  If you create an email outside of the mail app, you can set a default account to send from.  Andygoodyear has the correct instructions for that.

  • After I updated Firefox, several emails were sent from my email addresses without my permission. What happened?

    After being prompted to and finishing an upgrade with Firefox, several emails were sent from my email accounts without my permission. One was an email that I had sent to a business more than a year ago. This is very embarrassing. They were sent using the Firefox browser. What happened? Thank you for your response.

    Firefox is not capable of sending emails. An extension, however, could. If you have any extensions that allow you to send emails, you should write a review on their [http://example.com page].

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Open iTunes and navigate to the app store. Select a free app to download. A simple way to do this is to scroll down to the top free apps box on the right hand side, hover your mouse over the first item and click on the free button that appears when you hover over it.
    A pop up will open asking you to sign in with your Apple ID click "create new account", click continue to create your account. Check the box to accept the store terms and conditions and click continue.
    Enter your email address, password, security question, and date of birth, click continue. Now, you will be asked to provide a payment method. Note now that the last option says "none".

  • Why i couldn't open email that sent from Outlook?

                     Please help me for this matter, i had bought my BB Curve 8520 for just only 5 days and use latest firmware. I have setup 2 emails 1.) hotmail  2.) Outlook (Official mail) i found this issue after i had setup my office email for a few days.
                    Issue is when i open email that sent from Outlook (Official mail) that contained file .png or attached with file .png by using HTML  my bb couldn't open it, it will stuck but i can use any function but just the email that didn't open.
                    I ha contacted with my Local support, they inform me to do the hard reset, after i had hard reset it working fine with same email that couldn't open previously. After one day had past it has the same issue again.
    Please help me to fixed this issue, thank you in advance.
    P.S. I had never install any unauthorized program.

    Photoshop doesn't do anything special or different when a file is sent from an attachment. However, when you send an attachment from Outlook to Photoshop, that file is actually downloaded to your computer in a Temp folder before it is sent to Photoshop. Often times the permissions on this folder can be such that it prevents access. Other than that, all Outlook does is simply drop the file onto the Photoshop app file. The only thing that would involve Photoshop directly is if there are some damaged files involved with its connection to the rest of the system. If this is the case a reinstall would fix it. Otherwise, check the permissions on the Outlook temp folder (or at least the JPEG file it is trying to save).

  • Customize email Notifications sent from UWL

    Hello,
    Can the eMail notifications sent from UWL be customized in Portal 7.3 ?
    Regards,
    Jay.

    Hi Jay
    I hope you are well and many thanks for using the SAP Discussion Forums.
    In relation to your query you mentioned the following:
    Can the eMail notifications sent from UWL be customized in Portal 7.3 ?
    In UWL lingo, notifications that you would see under the notification tab are specific to: Knowledge Management Collaboration Recent Notifications. Notifications through the Universal Worklist deal with Knowledge Management and Collaboration. If you are looking to integrate SAP Office within the Universal Worklist please refer to note 945484 How to receive office notifications in the universal
    worklist.
    Now in terms of actually customizing the emails themselves. From my research and understanding if
    you are using the default mail notification this is not customizable. You can however put a notification task in the flow(just before the human task), if you want to customize the notification content. This would be done through the task ID for the workitems (you can find this through the enalbement of the support information).
    Kindly update me as per your findings.
    Kind Regards & All The Best

  • Need to set the account ID twice for CampaignManagementService?

    We're using GetCampaignsByAccountIdRequest to get the list of campaigns in an account.
    We found that we must set the account ID for the request to succeed:
    GetCampaignsByAccountIdRequest.setAccountId(AccountId);
    However, it seems it's also mandatory to set the account ID when crreating the java service stubs:
    BasicHttpBinding_ICampaignManagementServiceStub _service;
    CampaignManagementServiceLocator locator = new CampaignManagementServiceLocator();
    _namespace = locator.getServiceName().getNamespaceURI();
    _service = (BasicHttpBinding_ICampaignManagementServiceStub) locator.getBasicHttpBinding_ICampaignManagementService();
    _service.clearHeaders();
    _service.setHeader(_namespace, "CustomerAccountId", AccountId);
    Do we indeed need to set the AccountId twice as above?
    Thanks

    As a best practice you should always specify the identifier of the account being accessed in the CustomerAccountId header
    element. Some of the campaign management operations for example GetCampaignsByAccountId,
    require that you specify the account ID in the request message body, and most of them require that you specify the account ID in the CustomerAccountId header
    element.
    In a future version of the API we plan to make this more consistent, for example exclude the AccountId from the body, and only require CustomerAccountId in the header. 
    I hope this helps!

  • Setting the name of a new object from a string

    Is there anyway I can set the object name of a newly created
    object from a string?
    eg.
    (the code below generates a compile time error on the
    variable declaration)
    public function addText(newTxt:String, txt:String,
    format:TextFormat):void {
    var
    this[newTxt]:TextField = new TextField();
    this[newTxt].autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
    this[newTxt].background = true;
    this[newTxt].border = true;
    this[newTxt].defaultTextFormat = format;
    this[newTxt].text = txt;
    addChild(this[newTxt]);
    called using>
    addText("mytxt", "test text", format);
    I could then reference the object later on without using
    array notation using mytxt.border = false; for example
    There are many a time when I want to set the name of a new
    object from a string.
    In this example I have a function that adds a new text object
    to a sprite.
    The problem is, if I call the function more than once then
    two textfield objects will exist, both with the same name. (either
    that or the old one will be overwritten).
    I need a way of setting the name of the textfield object from
    a string.
    using
    var this[newTxt]:TextField = new TextField()
    does not work, If I take the "var" keyword away it thinks it
    a property of the class not an object.
    resulting in >
    ReferenceError: Error #1056: Cannot create property newTxt on
    Box.
    There must be a way somehow to declare a variable that has
    the name that it will take represented in a string.
    Any help would be most welcome
    Thanks

    Using:
    var this[newTxt]:TextField = new TextField()
    is the right approach.
    You can either incrment an instance variable so that the name
    is unique:
    newTxt = "MyName" + _globalCounter;
    var this[newTxt]:TextField = new TextField();
    globalCounter ++;
    Or store the references in an array:
    _globalArray.push(new TextField());

  • HT201774 How do I reduce the amount of email being sent to my iPhone 5 with iOS 7.0?

    How do I reduce the amount of email being sent to my iPhone 5 with iOS 7.0

  • When I email myself a picture from my iphone 4s, the email is sent from an email account that I don't have set up as the default account. How can I set it up so that the emails are coming from the default account selected in Mail?

    Under my mail tab, it shows that I have a specific email account set up as a default account. That is the account I would like for me emails to be sent from. But when I actually send out an email such as a picture, it is being sent from one of my different email accounts that is not set up as the default. How can I change this so that future messages will be sent from the default account? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!!

    All photo attachments received or sent with the iPhone's Mail app appear inline or viewed in place within the body of the message when viewed with the iPhone's Mail app which is the same with the Mail.app on a Mac. A photo attachment that appears inline or viewed in place does not mean the photo was not sent as a true attachment to the message. A photo attached to a message with the iPhone's Mail app is sent as a true attachment to the message. How an inline or viewed in place attachment appears on the recipient's end depends on the recipient's email client. If the recipient's email client does not support viewing an attached photo inline or viewed in place within the body of the message, the attached file must be manually selected and opened to viewed.
    I am getting the email with the Picture Inline ( not as attachment),The picture is shown distorted , no metter what i do and with what mail client i am using (Gmail\Hotmail\My Enterprise exchange mail), i still get the same behavior.
    With which email client?

  • I deleted my old Email account because I wanted to create a new one, and I did. However, when ever I send an Email from the Mail app on my laptop it says the Email was sent from my old Email and I just can not get rid of it.

    I deleted my old Email and only used my new Email to set up the Mail app on my laptop. And the old Email is completely dead, hotmail.com says the Email no longer excists when I try to sign back in to it however my Emails remain saying 'Sent from Jordan [*old Email*].
    I can't find a solution!!

    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare(or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
    The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
    The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
    Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
    Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
    Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.
