  • 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 outgoing email address from iphone

    I currently have my MobileMe account set up on my iphone, and it is using my MobileMe ID as my email address <Edited by Host>. However I would like to set it up with my alias<Edited by Host>. Is there a way to change this setting on the phone? I know I can change the outgoing email address from mail on my computer, but I don't see that function on my iphone.
    Thanks

    You can set up MobileMe to use any email address as a 'push' email on the iPhone. The first thing you need to do is set your non-MobileMe (.Mac) email address for auto-forward to your MobileMe (.Mac) account.
    When you create the email account, make sure you set it up as Other (not as a .Mac or MobileMe account.) Then select IMAP as the type of account. Enter the name and auto-forwarded email address. (This is the email address that will show as the "From" email, even though you're using your MobileMe account.)
    For your mail server settings, use your MobileMe settings:
    * Incoming settings:
    o Host Name: mail.mac.com
    o User Name: MobileMe user name
    o Password: MobileMe password
    * Outgoing Settings:
    o Host Name: smtp.mac.com
    o User Name: MobileMe user name
    o Password: MobileMe password
    * Advanced:
    o Use SSL - On
    o Authentication - Password
    o Server Port - 587
    Now you're able to receive 'push' email from your non-MobileMe account, and reply without using the @me.com address. (You can use those same settings in the Mail App as well.)

  • Sharepoint Outgoing Email Address

    I am looking to configure the outgoing Sharepoint (2010) Email address with the logged in users email address instead of the default. Is there a way to do this?
    Thanks. LK

    Not with the out of the box functionality. So for things like Alerts, you'll be stuck with the farm or Web Application outgoing email address.

  • Thunderbird changes outgoing email address

    Composing a new email:
    In the "To" field I start to type an address. Thunderbird provides a drop-down of matches from my address book. I select one of the addresses. Thunderbird puts it into the "To" field. At this point, my cursor is still in the "To" field. Then I hit Enter to move to the next field, & Thunderbird changes the email address to a different address (a different address from my address book).
    If I add a space after the email address before pressing Enter, Thunderbird leaves the email address as is.
    Behavior is kind of random - address is not replaced all the time. Also, for a while Thunderbird will make one change - like always changing address X to address Y, then it will switch to another change - always replacing address Z with address W.
    The replacement address is always one that is in the address book.
    Also, Thunderbird randomly colors some outgoing email addresses as red, even though they are in my address book.

    hi jbh01
    The easiest method is to use the contacts sidebar as described in option 2.
    But contacts do need to be in an Address Book.
    However, if your issue is to reveal more TO fields, then you can drag the divider downwards. See image below.
    If you write using Plain Text , there will be no Formatting Bar. If you use HTML formatting, then there will be a Formatting Bar.
    In the image below there is a Formatting Bar between 'Subject' and the composing area. In the image below, I've indicated this with a red line.
    Use mouse and hover over this line, the mouse should chnage to a double headed arrow. Left click and hold down to grab the line. Then move mouse downwards to move the line. It will reveal more TO fields.

  • 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!!!!!

    Hi,
    Mail > Preferences > Composing > Send New Messages From. This will be your default address for all outgoing e-mails.

  • 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.

  • Too many outgoing email addresses.

    What do I do when I have too many outgoing email addresses and cannot get to the bottom to edit or close the message?

    Hello mktapplesupport,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    If you would like to remove an email account from the Mail application, please follow the instructions below:
    Removing an email account
    You may want to remove an email account from Mail, for example if you no longer use the account.
    Important: Removing an account will permanently delete its mailboxes, messages, notes, and to do items. If you want to keep those, be sure to copy them to an On My Mac mailbox before deleting the account.
    Exchange and IMAP accounts store their mailboxes and messages on the server; deleting these account types in Mail will not permanently delete messages from the server. However, if you are not completely certain that your account is one of those types, be sure to copy the mailboxes and messages you want to keep into an On My Mac mailbox, or save individual messages manually by selecting them and choosing Save As from the File menu.
    To remove an email account in Mail:
    Open Mail (click it on the Dock or open it from the Applications folder).
    From the Mail menu, choose Preferences..., or press Command-, (the Command and comma keys).
    Click the "Accounts" icon.
    Select the account you wish to remove.
    Click the "-" (minus) icon. You will be alerted that "The account's setup information, mailboxes, messages, notes, and to do's will be deleted permanently from your computer."
    If you are sure you want to remove the account and email messages from your computer, click "Remove" to complete this process.

    You will have to delete your rescue email address first, then go back and change your primary.
