Using the correct email address when forwarding/replying to an email I sent out earlier...

I have several email accounts. A very familiar scenario is that I send an email with some tasks in it to a bunch of people. After some time has elapsed, I send a chaser, reminding people about a needed response. Normally, I would open the email I had sent earlier and press reply all, and I was done in seconds.
I think from the time Mountain Lion was introduced, it does not work like this any more, what it does is that it changes the sending email to the default instead of using the account from which it was originally sent, creating huge confusion with the receivers as well as revealing my other email IDs to them.
It is exactly the same when I press 'forward' on an email I had sent out earlier. Same problem.
All my setting are CORRECT, I think this is a system bug and needs to be fixed.
However, if someone else has found a solution, can you please help me with this?

Resolved with the add-on "Folder Account 6.0"

Exchange not sending mail to the correct recipient addresses when one of the addresses is incorrect

Hi,
I am creating an email msg programatically and sending to the exchange server.
When all the recipient addresses are correct, the mail is sent successfully.
But if one of the addresses is incorrect, the server gives a "550 5.1.1 User unknown" error and theemail msg is not being sent to the correct addresses as well.
When this is tested via Outlook, the mail is sent to the correct addresses and there is an error mail from the server stating that the mail was not sent to the incorrect address, this is the expected behaviour.
What needs to be done to get the expected behaviour? There must be some alternative setting being used by outlook.

Hi,
What you describe can happen if the AntiSpam Agents has been installed
and Recipient Filter Agent is enabled on Mailbox Servers.
Recipient Filter agent
Although the Recipient Filter agent is available on Mailbox servers, you shouldn't configure it. When recipient filtering on a Mailbox server detects one invalid or blocked recipient in a message that contains other valid recipients, the message is rejected.

Recently changed my email provider. However, Calendar continues to try to send alerts to my old email provider. I have not found any way to tell Calendar to use the correct email address. I have chained iCloud, AppleID, and local email settings.

Sorry for the long title - I thought I had to explain my entire problem there ...
I recently switched ISPs, so now I have a new email address. I've updated mail, can send and receive successfully, recreated my iCloud account, and made sure my Contacts entry was correct. But Calendar's alert function stubbornly tries to send email to my old email address. I haven't found any way to change the list of email addresses that Calendar uses. This is the Calendar desktop app, not iCal. Any tips would be appreciated.

So what was the solution. I have a similar problem on all of my devices now

Mail not using the correct account to reply to email

I use Gmail to fetch email from my other email accounts. Prior to Mountain Lion, whenever I replied to an email, Mail would use the correct email account to reply to. That is to say, Gmail was fetching email from [email protected], for example. When I click reply, the default account would be mail.com. But since upgrading to Mountain Lion, the default account will be Gmail.com.
Has anyone experienced this? How were you able to solve this, if at all?
Thanks in advance for your responses.

The new rule seems to be if you move an email message received on account A to a folder belonging to account B, that means the message now "belongs to" account B, and replies will come from account B. The new rule is murkier if you move a message from account A to an "On My Mac" folder and then reply to it.
I'm not saying that I like it that way, or that Apple has documented the change, just that this "new rule" seems to explain many of the "wrong reply" and "copying myself" complaints we see here on the forums. If we (users) can figure out the second half of the "new rule" ("On My Mac" folders), we might be able to explain the rest, we might be able to predict how replies will work, and we might be able to write a cogent complaint about the "new rule."

Thanks for your reply. Having read through relevant topics it suggests that if I sync my iphone with the correct account on my pc it should use that one thereafter. i will try both.

I recently updated my primary email address associated with my Apple ID account.
Now when I go to App store on my iPad it still tries to login to the App store using the old email address I had associated with the account, and naturally my password doesn't work. I can't figure out how to tell my iPad to login using the updated email address.
So in effect I'm locked out of the app store and I currently have 26 updates waiting.
I've tried disconnecting and reconnecting my IPad to iCloud with no luck.. However I cloud happens to show the correct/updated email address.
Does anyone know how to resolve this?
Thanks

Did you change the email for the Apple ID or did you create a new Apple ID? A new Apple ID cannot be used with content that was bought using a different Apple ID.

When I attach PDF to an email, it uses the wrong email address

I recently added an email account to my Outlook. It is not the default email account, but Acrobat defaults to that address whenever I attach a PDF to an email. Within Acrobat, the Identity under Preferences includes the correct email address. My MS Office applications use my correct, default email address when send from them. In Windows, the correct email is set at the default email and Outlook is my default email application. It is only Acrobat that defaults to the wrong email account. How can I fix this?
I am using Acrobat 9 Standard
I attach PDFs to email my clicking on the envelop icon. A new message in outlook automatically opens, but the "From" field in the new email message contains the wrong email address. I have also tried File/Attach to Email with the same results.

You are facing this error because Outlook is your default email Client and you have configured it for different e-mail Address than the one which you intend to send mail from.
So i would recommend you to either Add the other e-mail account( The one from which you want to send file) in outlook so that you have a choice while sending the file.
OR
You can remove the currently configured e-mail account from outlook, and reconfigure outlook for that e-mail address which you want to use for file sending purpose.
P.S.- Acrobat will always use the e-mail address associated with your Default e-mail Client ( Outlook in your case.)
Hope that answers your question. Please revert back for any other query or assistance.

I'm having problems with contacts on my iPad. One of my contacts names shows up when I choose any one of 36 contacts. the email goes to the correct email address that I've chosen but the incorrect name shows up in the To: area of the email. Has anyone else experienced this...if so I hope there is a fix

Hello there erika274,
It sounds like no matter what contact you put into the 'To' field, a different name appears, but the email makes it to the intended recipient. I would recommend a few things here. First, close all the open apps on the device:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the phone:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the issue persists, I would next backup your device to iTunes, and restore it:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

You can go to Settings/iCloud and delete the account, then create a new iCloud account. You can still use the same account for the app store though.

You can try to figure out which Apple ID/email address and/or password you used to activate it by going to http://iforgot.apple.com
If you can't, you'll need to contact Apple Account Security with your proof of purchase.

Mac mail keeps sending emails from different accounts even though it says correct email in "sent" folder. Recipients reply and it goes to different email address. So confusing.

mac mail keeps sending emails from my different accounts even though it says correct email in "sent" folder and correct email account was highlighted. Recipients reply and it goes to different email address. So confusing and annoying.

Hi Mike,
I had the same issue and managed to solve it.
Go into Mail>Preferences>Accounts
Then in the account information tab, at the bottom should be outgoing mail server (SMTP) and click the drop down box
Mine had a few different servers in it so i went into edit SMPT server list. Click advanced and it will tell you which ones are going from which email address.
Delete the ones you dont want, and it should work or instead of deleting click use only this server, i imagine that will work to
Hope This Helps

Why people get a wierd email address along side my main address when I reply through iPhone?

Hi,
it was brought to my attention that we I sent a reply to someone through iPhone, first the recipient doesnt see my address in "From" and when they hit reply back to me, another strange email appears along side my email.
For example: I emailed "[email protected]", she gets my email but my email address doenst appear in the "From" field and when press reply back to me, two address appear "mine" and this strange address "[email protected]" which btw keeps chaning with each email exchange to [email protected] o or [email protected]..etc
and this only happens when I send an email from iPhone..it doesnt appear when I use my desktop email client.
is this a normal thing?

We are short on information. Settings may depend on your Mac OSX version, which we don't yet know. Please let us know the version, plus how you are sending/receiving mail: a mail client installed like Apple Mail, Ms Outlook, or Entourage; or by visiting a web site like yahoo, hotmail, or gmail.

I am automating the process of sending appointment reminders to my clients. I started with an alert with an email in calendar using the clients email address as a custom entry in my me card in my contacts. this was resulting in three emails being sent with slightly different versions of the same address (see my previous post). Heating someone else's suggestion I created a workflow file to send an email and calling that file from an alert on my calendar. This is working and sends only one email to the client.
My calendar is on I cloud and I access it from three different computers so I can keep my appointment calendar current. The files that send the email only exist on one computer. My other computers show error messages when those emails get sent. It seems that each computer wants to send the email. It's a small problem but is there a way that I could not get those alerts.
But appreciate any thoughts about this. It seems like both problems might be related to the iCloud system.
Thank you in advance,
Michael

Good work, catch so far Michael, does seem to be a "feature" of iCloud syncing, not sure what you could do to disable it.

HT1918 How does one organise the apple ID so that one uses the same email address to have an account on both the UL and Belgian itunes stores?

I have in the past created an Apple ID for use with the UK itunes store, because I want to read in English. If I sign in it seems that this ID will only allow me to purchase from the UK store. But I live in Belgium, so I can't download from the UK store. So I tried to create an apple ID for the Belgian itunes store. But I want to use the same email address as I used for the first apple ID I made (because I'm fed up of having to remember which email address I used for which account). When I tried this, I just get a message saying that the email address is already in use for another account (which I know, because it's me who made that account). Does anyone have a workaround for this?
cheers
Andrew

I have tried again using the same password. and it still doesn't work.
I'm presuming you went ahead and set up a new Apple ID, yes? Using the same password in more than one Apple ID has worked for me in the past, but I haven't tried it in a while so the tightened security may have changed that. You could use the same password but add "-UK" and "-BE", or something like that, to make it easier to remember.
I understand what you mean about losing the ability to deal with UK purchased stuff, but this is becoming so inconvenient that I do want to delete that UK apple ID account. I have looked everywhere I can think of on the apple website (apple id, itunes, support etc) and I can't find a link/eplanation/contact point that deals with deleting apple ID and itune store accounts. Surely this must be possible?
It's possible, but Apple is very reluctant to do it, and it's not something a user can do on their own. It would be better to just stop using the UK account rather than trying to get it deleted. Just remove your payment information and there should be little reason to have the account deleted. If you really want to try, though, you'll need to send a message to iTunes support specifying that you want the account cancelled.
On a completely different matter, I have bought my son an ipod touch. But since he is younger than 13 years old, how does one go about using the itunes store to get music onto his ipod touch?
You would need to buy tracks for him; he's too young to have his own iTunes Store account. To control what gets synched to his iPod, this should help:
