Setting the standard account in Mail

I would like to set my standard account in Mail.
- I have two IMAP accounts.
- When I click Inbox, and thus view the joint inbox of the two, and click new mail, it automatically chooses an account to send from.
- In the same way, it chooses an account to send from whenever i'm not in the account specific inbox.
It does not choose the account I want -- and I cannot find out where to change it?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks.

Mail -> Preferences -> Composing
Select the account in the dropdown labeled "Send new mail from:"
It should currently say "Account of last viewed mailbox"

Mail app always starts with the standard account.

Mail app always starts with the standard account.
Can´t it start in the mail overview, where all different mailboxes are shown.
iPhone 4 did it..
Opens in standard account:
Should open in MailBox-Overview: (here just one mailbox)
7.1.2

After some searching I have found a solution. I had to delete the contents of the following folder:
~/Library/Mail/myemailaccount/.OfflineCache/
Note: replace "myemailaccount" with the appropriate folder on your computer that represents your e-mail account. Once I deleted the contents of this folder (there were 2 files), and restarted Mail, there were no problems.
Hope this helps a few people in the future!

I'm unable to set up ATT account in mail

I'm unable to set up ATT account in mail

Is this happening when you try to receive mail, or send mail? When you create the account, does it verify? You should see a message that it is verifying, and if it does.

Setting up an account on Mail

I've bought a domain name and tried to set up an account on Mail. Mail won't recognise it and keeps asking for my password - which I've given - and keeps rejecting it. The domain name sellers say it's probably a Mail specific problem and suggested that I 'contact Mac'.
Any suggestions - or things I should be looking for - gratefully received.

I've checked the correct mail server settings and I've just sent them an e-mail to check the authentication method, but surely it can't be that if I can't even get on to the system?
As I say, when setting up the account, Mail goes through its checking procedure and my settings get past that.
I'm going away for a couple of days, so please don't feel offended if I don't reply quickly to any more suggestions - but I really appreciate your help!

I am setting up a new iTunes account and do not have a credit card. When I am setting the new account up it does NOT give me an option of "none" in lieu of an actual credit card. What do I do?

I am setting up a new iTunes account and do not have a credit card. When I am setting the new account up it does NOT give me an option of "none" in lieu of an actual credit card. What do I do?

How did you create it ? There are instructions on this page for creating a new account (the instructions won't work with existing existing account) without giving credt card details : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
e.g. if currently logged into an account then log of it, then find a free app in the store, click on its free 'price', and you should then be able to create a new account during the 'buying' process and get 'none' as an option on the payments screen

Is it better to set the admin account to other than myself on a new computer for security purposes?

Hi all
On a new computer is it better to set the admin account to other than myself for security purposes? I am sure that I read some years ago that this was the best route to go down. What I am suggesting is that I will still administer the account but not as myself the user in my own name and also will it have any ramifications further down the line.
Will be using a new Macbook Pro running Lion (when it arrives)
With thanks in advance for any help and advice on this issue
Best regards
Dingoh

when you get a new mac and set up an account, that account is designated as the admin account automatically. Creating a second user account without admin privileges is fine to do, if you are afraid that you might accidentally do something harmful that requires admin access. Make sure it is a second user account and not a guest account, as with a guest account, everything during a session under a guest account gets deleted after the session ends.

Hi Ranil,
I think when you work with account segmentation you need to use the account code (query the db form SELECT * FROM OACT) and find the code for that account.

Why would you delete your iCloud account for a password change with your Yahoo account?
Regardless, if no problem re-creating your iCloud account on your iPad, contact Yahoo technical support.

I set a Special Ring Tone for One of my contacts and now I want to set the standard tone again. How can I adjust the iPhone to always use the standard tone?

I set a Special Ring Tone for One of my contacts and now I want to set the standard tone again. How can I adjust the iPhone to always use the standard tone?

Yeah, I did. But if I go to settings and change the standard ring tone again, the ring tone for that special contact is still the old standard tone. But I want to 'tell' my iPhone/iPad that this contact should always have the standard ringtone from settings.

HT4859 After I set the iCloud account, I lost most of my contact number.

After I set the iCloud account right, I lost most of the contact number in my phone book.

If icloud.com does not have any contacts (log in using a browser), then they are gone. Your only hope is to restore to your computer the missing files from a computer backup, like Time machine on a mac. Otherwise, do you have the contacts still active on some other device?

How do you set the From field in Mail?

Is there any way to set the From field in messages. I have two email addresses:
an .edu address at an university
a .net at my ISP
I’d like the From field to be my .edu addreess. Mail sent to my .edu address is forwarded to an address of my choosing, which happens to be my .net address. I would, however, like to keep my .net relatively hidden so I can change ISPs. We did that year switching from cable to DSL.
I tried changing Mail Preferences->Accunts->Email Address
to my .edu address. That, however, did not work. My DSL provider ignored the Email Address field and inserted my .net address in the from field. (I believe this method worked when I had a cable ISP.)

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 the language of a mail template from NotificationUtil?

Hi experts!
I've been having some issues with the Message Template Language when using the NotificationUtil to send an Email.
How do I set the language of the template?
Do i set this by the sender? Or do I need to reference the recipient?
If so, how could I get the Account Object Interface from the user given that I got him as a collaborator?
I wish you could help me out whit this language problem.
Here's an example of the code I'm using:
Properties params = new Properties();
params.put(new String("PHASE_NAME"), faseName);
params.put(new String("DOCUMENT_TYPE"), docType);
params.put(new String("DOCUMENT_NAME"), contractName);
params.put(new String("OWNER_FIRST_LAST_NAME"), owner.toString());
params.put(new String("START_DATE"), fecha);
params.put(new String("INSTRUCTION"), "");
params.put(new String("DOCUMENT_HEADER_URL"), vinculo);
String[] recipients = {mail};
sender = session.getAccount();
mailTypeEnum = new MailTypeEnumType(MailTypeEnumType.ODP_WORKFLOW_APPROVAL_REQUEST_MSG);
NotificationUtil.sendNotification(recipients,sender, mailTypeEnum,params,null,null);
Thanks in Advance!

Hi vikram!
Sorry for the still inconvenience, but I'm getting this error:
Error in method invocation: Static method sendNotification( com.sap.odp.usermgmt.masterdata.UserAccountBo, com.sap.odp.usermgmt.masterdata.UserAccountBo, com.sap.odp.api.comp.messaging.MailTypeEnumType, java.util.Properties, null, null ) not found in class'com.sap.odp.api.util.NotificationUtil'
Im making the code the following way:
Properties params = new Properties();
params.put(new String("PHASE_NAME"), faseName);
params.put(new String("DOCUMENT_TYPE"), docType);
params.put(new String("DOCUMENT_NAME"), contractName);
params.put(new String("RECIPIENT_FIRST_NAME"), nombre);
params.put(new String("OWNER_FIRST_LAST_NAME"), owner.toString());
params.put(new String("START_DATE"), fecha);
params.put(new String("ORG_UNIT"), orgUnit);
params.put(new String("INSTRUCTION"), "");
params.put(new String("DOCUMENT_HEADER_URL"), vinculo);
recipients = IapiAccountLocator.lookup(session, collaborator.getPrincipal()); // This Changed.
( I also tried like this:
IapiAccountIfc recipients = IapiAccountLocator.lookup(session, collaborator.getPrincipal());)
sender = session.getAccount();
mailTypeEnum = new MailTypeEnumType(MailTypeEnumType.ODP_WORKFLOW_APPROVAL_REQUEST_MSG);
NotificationUtil.sendNotification(recipients,sender, mailTypeEnum,params,null,null);
Thanks again!

Setting up hotmail accounts in Mail

Hi, how do I go about routing my hotmail accounts to mail? It seems like a logical step to make. I've been through the account setup but Mail is not seeing the server.
I'm guessing its a pretty common request but I couldn't find any specific information on it, and I don't have time to trawl the forums all afternoon, So I thought I'd ask in a new thread.
Can anyone help?
Thanks....

Hotmail don't provide POP/IMAP access so you can't configure a standard email application (such as Mail) to use it without extra software.
izymail and httpmail plugin (have a google for them) claim to be able to offer services such that you can use hotmail with a standard email program.

Set up Hotmail account in Mail

I don't know how to set up my hotmail account in Mail. I need to know what is the name of the incoming/outgoing server and as well what type of server it is. I have contact hotmail staff but they told me that this feature is not possible so far in Mac, but I am surprise about this answer. Has somebody tried so far of mac user that have hotmail accounts?
Thanks for the help!

I have just had this problem. I am at a loss while Apple will not give us a Mail application that supports http mail out of the box. Surely they realise that most people have a Hotmail or a similar free account... Makes me so angry
Anyway I am using the Daniel Parnell plug in:
http://www.versiontracker.com/developer/10364/Daniel+Parnell
It used to work faultlessly (and still does) but to get it working on an Intel machine you need to set Mail to open using Rosetta. You can do this using Finder, then Get Info, then check the Open in Rosetta box.
