Setting the default respond email address in Yosemite Mail
In Mavericks I was able to set the default email address to my new address when I was replying to mail sent to me using an older address I am transitioning from. However this behavior got changed after installing Yosemite. In Mail Preferences -> Composing I do not see any place to create a default email address when responding. Only for new mail. I was wondering if it is possible to change this via command line in Terminal?
Whichever account mailbox is currently selecting in the mailboxes drawer will be the account used when selecting New to compose a new message. If no account mailbox is currently selected, the first account listed in the account's window at Mail > Preferences > Accounts is the default email account.
Tiger Mail includes a true default account selection for "Send new mail from".

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 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

Setting default outgoing email address
I have multiple email addresses that I use in Mail, on my MacBook. Most of them are gmail accounts. Two are godaddy accounts, with personal domain names. I want to have a "main" one (a gmail account) that all my mail goes out from. If I'm in the "wrong mailbox," it goes out from that mailbox, hence getting missed by people, who have rules set up to look for email from my main email address.
So, I followed the instructions, in the help setting, which said:
How to change the default account and "From" address
Mac OS X 10.0 through 10.1.5
The default account when composing a new message in Mail is the one listed first in the Description column of Mail Preferences. To change this default, you only need to change the order of the names.
Follow these steps:
1. Choose Mail > Preferences.
2. Click Accounts.
3. Drag account names in the Description column to change their order. The account that is listed first is the default account that is used whenever you open a new mail window.
Mac OS X 10.2 and later
The "From" address for a new message will generally be the same as the "To" address of the message that is currently selected. If no message is selected, then the "From" address associated with the currently selected mailbox will be used, if there is one. Otherwise, the default "From" address will be used as described above.
This is not so, so 10.6.3 Mac OS X. Does anyone know how to make my "main" address the default outgoing email address, whatever address box is highlighted?
Thanks in advance!!!!!
-- CindeeHi,
Mail > Preferences > Composing > Send New Messages From. This will be your default address for all outgoing e-mails. -
How do you change the default return email when distributing a PDF form
Hello everyone,
I am trying to distrube a pdf form as a customer survey to various client/contact emails. As a test, I chose to distribute the form, filled in the form distribution information and I send the form to myself. However, when I filled it out and chose 'submit form' it prompted me with the return email address that I know is incorrect and want to change.
As the author of the form, I need to change the default return email address, but there is no option to do so when I choose to distribute the pdf form or any new form that I create (only prompted me the very first time I chose to distribute a form).
Does anyone know how to change the return email address and information for form distribution? Can someone please help me with this?
Thank you very much!
-RyanThe email address that it uses it what is set in the Identity user preference: Edit > Preferences > Identity > Email Address
so change it there before you distribute. -
Default outgoing email address
I have several email addresses and would like to link a specific address for individual contacts. Is there a way to set a default outgoing email address for specific contacts?
Thank you SO MUCH for this information. I've read so many other places that the default email address is the address listed at the top of the Preferences>Accounts list, and yet, whenever I send an email, it gets sent from whichever account is highlighted. I've never been able to figure out the discrepancy. I'm so glad I looked deeper and found this post. Thank you!

Changing default outgoing email address
So, my AppleID is an @me.com address. I created when I was still in college and put my birth year into the ID out of frustration that [email protected] had already been taken; for the purpose of this we'll call it [email protected]
I've since recognized the value of having an email address that doesn't broadcast one's age and created a more generic alias in the account, we'll call it [email protected]
Previously, on both my iPhone and my iPad, I was able to select "[email protected]" as the default outgoing email address in Mail, a much easier way to always send from that address without having to manually select in the FROM drop down menu. Now, in iOS 5 with iCloud, that doesn't seem to be the case. It always wants to use my main AppleID, "[email protected]" The only way to change it is to manually select in the drop down menu every single time I send an email.
I've looked through every iCloud and Mail setting I can possibly think of. Suggestions? Thanks!Under Settings, Mail,Contacts,Calendars, for each individual mail account, what are your SMTP settings?
When you tap on an account, then tap on the Account Name on the next screen, then tap on SMTP, you will see all the SMTP accounts you have set up. If you want an account to only use a particular SMTP server when sending from that account or replying to messages received in that account, then you need to set that desired SMTP account as the primary server, and turn all other SMTP servers OFF. -
I HAVE SET UP AN INCORRECT EMAIL ADDRESS. The call centre set up a new email address as the Username. I am unable to access the new account because the default on my phone is the email that is incorrect. How do I get the correct email as default??
Thank you for your help, much appreciated

I hit ctrl key & click on the email address in windows 7 that I am sending an email to. Firefox gives me the message "Could not perform this operation because the default mail client is not properly installed". I click the OK option & the person's email address appears in yahoo mail ready for me to compose my email, but it always puts FirefoxHTML right after the person's email address & I have to go up & delete that portion. If I forget, the email is returned as error. Please help.
The "Use custom settings for history" selection allows to see the current history and cookie settings, but selecting this doesn't make any changes to history and cookie settings.
Firefox shows "Use custom settings for history" as an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes were made.
If all History settings are default then the custom settings are hidden and you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History".
"Never Remember History" means that Private Browsing is active and "Always use private browsing mode" gets a checkmark.
You need to remove the checkmark on "Always use private browsing mode" to leave Private Browsing mode or chose the "Remember History" setting.

How can I set the default in "Write" to display several email address instead of just one?
Like to see more than one person on the Write screen at a time. The default seems to move the first one up.
I would rather like to have at least four be able to be seen without any scrolling of addresses. Am familiar with config editor if necessary.On my system it was set to the default of 3 address fields. When I went into the config editor and modified the line quoted above to 5 and restarted Thunderbird, the next time I open a Write window I have 5 address fields.
Only after I fill those 5 fields does the first field scroll up and out of view.
Yes you can drag the bottom edge of the subject field down to show more fields but this is not permanent. The next time you open a write window it will show the number of fields set in the config editor. -
Setting default send email address/account
I have 2 pop email address' setup in my BB. How do I set which is used for outgoing email messages?
Welcome to the forums
For replying, it will default to the account that received the email. For new emails, go to Options>Advanced Options>Default Services, and set the default "Messaging (CMIME) to the email you prefer over here and save.

I no longer have access to the back up email address I used when I set up my apple ID. I have since forgotten the answers to my security questions and am having a problem making changes to my account. What can I do?
You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

My iPad, Macbook and Apple TV are all set up with the same iCloud email address. I bought the iPhone 6 and accidentally set the iCloud up with a different email. My phone will not let me change the email address to be the same as my other devices, it tells me that email is already being used. How do I delete the iPhones iCloud account and reinstall it to match my other devices.
Yes it will, just sign out, then sign back in with the correct address.
