TS3276 Why does my mail send an email from a different account form the one selected?

Hi,
I have several email accounts configured in my mail app.
For no reason it started sending email from one of my accounts with another email address, so when people reply to my email (from a particular account) it goes to another inbox and I sometimes miss it.
Any tips?

In Mail>Preferences>Accounts>you can set Each Mail account to "Use Only This Server" located at the lower right of the window below, which you specify once. Then the Mail app will not have a choice of server available to pull those shenanigans.
Hope this helps

I have multiple email accounts in my iPhone. Before the 6.0 update... I could select what account to send from. Now it's a default. Do I have to go change the email default everytime I want to send an email from a different account?

I have multiple email accounts in my iPhone 4. Before the 6.0 update... I could select what account to send from each time. Now it's a default. Do I have to go change the email default setting everytime I want to send an email from a different account?

In Mail Preferences/Accounts/each GMail account, set up the SMTP Outgoing Server for each account separately, going into SMTP name/edit/Advanced and specify the Username of each account. The Outgoing servers must be two different servers, authenticated by the Username and Password of each.
Otherwise, the GMail SMTP server will change the from address to that of the account where the SMTP server was setup.

Why can't I send an email from my iBook G4 to the UK?

It is being returned as a "The server response was: 5.1.1 <[email protected]> recipient invalid domain". I am certain that the address is correct.

yahoo.com.uk is not a valid domain.
try either yahoo.com or yahoo.co.uk

Why does my iphone send all text from only one of my contacts to my email?

Why does my iphone send all text from only one of my contacts to my email? I'm curious to know if anyone else has had this issue with the Iphone 5s...

imessage has a new setting that shows all emails associated with your apple id. There are two sections, send and receive. Since you are using the same apple id, Im sure if you adjust one of those settings to your mobile number instead of your appleid, it wont send double.
You might also have to adjust your wifes settings too, so those emails dont overlap

Why can't i send an email from a group in my contacts

why can't i send an email from a group in my contacts? In the address bar of my email just shows up the title of my group...

You are not doing anything wrong. Unfortunately, that's just the way that the built in mail app works. It really is a basic no frills mail app with not much to offer compared to other apps.
There are third party apps that let you create groups and email to those groups. I don't use either of these, but I've seen them recommended here in the past.

Why can't I send group emails from iPad

Why can't I send group emails from iPad and iPhone?

There's a functional workaround to send Group emails that takes some setup, and a copy-paste. But it's easier than any one-by-one solution cooked up without a 3rd-party app. Here's the way:
STEP ONE:
Go to Settings>General>Keyboard-->Shortcuts
Add a new Shortcut by typing in the full email addresses in the "Phrase" field, separated by comma and space; type in the few letters representing this "Phrase" in the "Shortcut" field.
STEP TWO:
In the email app, IN THE BODY OF THE EMAIL, type in the letter for the Shortcut and space. Then Highlight-->Copy this text and paste it into the To: Field. (Obviously: Delete this text in email body; and use CC: or BCC: fields as desired.)
Regrettably, you CANNOT just type the Shortcut in the address fields as it gets lobbed into one address.
This "No Group Email Functionality" rates a #FAIL by Apple. One of the few.

Why does Messages still send my txt via SMS when I have the "send as SMS" option turned off?

Why does Messages still send my txt via SMS when I have the "send as SMS" option turned off?

I haven't missed any point, but you don't get it.
If people take "Send as SMS" being turned off as the iPhone shoiuld not be sending SMS messages without reading this text that is included below the option:
Send as SMS when iMessage is unavailable. Carrier messaging rates may apply.
They are idiots.
But you're saying you have this other piece of information that tells you that this option only applies to two iphones exchanging txt. Where did you obtain such information?
Copied from my previous post.
Under the Send as SMS option, the following is available:
Send as SMS when iMessage is unavailable. Carrier messaging rates may apply.
You should check available text below an option such as this so you know what it does.

I can receive emails from three different accounts but can't send a photo. It says the server doesn't allow relaying???

I have a hard time describing this exactly, so I copied this from another thread. This seems to be a recent issue with AOL email accounts on the iPad the past few days. I have two AOL accounts and they work fine. See if this works for you.
+If you cannot send, under the smtp server your user name and password must be entered even though the prompt tells you it is optional. As a mobile device the port used is different from the one I would normally use if at home and therefore validation is required by use of the password. The normal port for the smtp server is 110 but to use on a mobile unit like the iPad port 587 is used.+
The big thing is to make sure that your username and password are filled in - Select your email account in the Mail setting and tap on the arrow next to the smtp server under the Outgoing Mail Server and then tap on the arrow next to smtp server under the Primary Server and fill in the information in there.
Some times you have to resort to deleting the account and starting over again.

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:

Double check your contacts email, and if its incorrect, go to their contact and change it and save it or you can delete the email you put in, and manually type it in.
Hope this helps.
How would that help the original poster?

Apple Mail - sending multiple emails from drafts folder

Hi all,
So If I save few emails in drafts - then later want to send tham at the same time - I can go to drafts and highlight them and choose messages > send
but the problem is each opens up and says:
cannot send message
This message could not be sent because your account does not have a preferred outgoing mail server. Select an outgoing mail server from the list below.
- however - in accounts I do have a smtp chosen and use only this server is checked.... (and single emails work fine)
- Q: so I want to be able to just highlight the several mail and send them all at once - without the extra dialogs......
How do I fix this?

Thanks Old Toad,
i think I had done that....
1 - So I just made 2 test emails from = my main account and saved each in drafts - each says from = [email protected] as they all do and work corretly when sent...
2 - then i go to drafts and highlight the 2 I just made - and choose menu - messages > send
then it says are you sure...
then it has this error for each one
Maybe you can try this also to see if you have the same issue?

Why is icloud mail eliminating received emails from my inbox?

My icloud inbox is receiving emails from certain users and then the email disappears from the inbox, but it doesn't go to the junk or trash box, it just disappears?

I am having continuing problems with email being 'lost' from my inbox or transferred to other folders before I have had an opportunity to deal with it and without my having actioned a setting to this effect. I have 'lost' nearly a fortnight's worth of email in this way - I have no idea where it has gone. I have discovered a completely new folder called 'BT Yahoo! Broadband', which I have not created and which contains (some) email from 2010??!!
Also mail is displaying in reverse order (most recent at the end/bottom and oldest at the top)!! Please can someone explain what is going on, as I appear to have lost control over these 'happenings?
Hi.
I would suggest changing your password as a start, in case someone else has managed to gain access.

Try re-indexing the mailboxes. This can take awhile if you have a lot of mail.

Why does Thunderbird only send 6 emails of hundreds when QuickBooks is sending emails using TB as default email app in Windows 7?

Current Setup: Windows 7, Quickbooks Non-profit Edition, Thunderbird. Thunderbird is set as the default email program.
Recent history: Previously to Thunderbird (TB), the non-profit was using Outlook and using server A for email. Then over a month ago moved all users to TB IMAP accounts from broken Microsoft IMAP accounts. Then moved all IMAP accounts to server B using imapsync perl script which is awesome if you don't know about it. All fine after move for regular email, but not for outgoing email coming from QB to TB.
In Quickbooks (QB), you can have it send invoices and statements to "customers" via email. When the setup was with Outlook and server A, it all worked fine. Now with TB and server B, when you try to send hundreds of invoices in email from QuickBooks to TB, TB only will send out 6 of the emails. It is a curious number 6, but that is what happens.
What have done: Searched interwebs for clues, none found. Talked to tech support at hosting for server B to see if there is any limit on sending emails through server; account has 500/hour limit -- not the issues. Now asking help from anyone who has an idea or inkling to pursue.
Thanks for any and all comments!

Try disabling email scanning and on access scanning of the temp folder. And make sure most of all McAfee is not in the mix at all.
Place Thunderbird in Offline mode
click the two monitors in the bottom left corner on the status bar. or File menu (ALT+F) > offline > work offline
Going back on line is the reversal of that process.
At a wild guess I am assuming events are simply falling over one another. Unlike outlook Thunderbird is trying to actually send the mails as it gets them. Taking it offline will defer that action until you are online. So each mail will be written to the outbox folder only until Thunderbird is online.
The three options I mention are all designed to remove road blocks to the process.
