When I reply to an email it changes the 'sender'

When I REPLY to an email, my reply is being sent from my default sender address instead of the account the message is being sent to.
I have several email address which I use daily and this has never happened until the last week. I have checked all my identity settings and they each correctly detail the individual emails.
I am able to change the sending address before hitting send but this is besides the point. I have spent a week sending from the wrong email address before I realised the problem was occurring.
This is an urgent problem for me as I have different businesses run on the same Thunderbird account.
Thank you.

It's likely that the message isn't really sent twice, but appears in your Sent folder twice because you have instructed Thunderbird to place a copy in your Sent folder and the same setting also exist in the configuration of your email provider, e.g Hotmail, Outlook, etc.
In Thunderbird check Tools > Account Settings > Copies & Folders > Place a copy in:
It's likely that setting is turned on. You can try switching it off and then send a test message to yourself and see if it shows up in the sent folder anyway, if so it's because your email provider is keeping copies of your sent messages for you.
It's up to you which setting you want to keep turned on, the one in Thunderbird or the one for your email provider.

Font Size changing when I reply to an email from a coworker only

I am having a problem. Typically when I reply to an email, all font sizes and colors are exactly how they are supposed to be. However, there is one person that the font size and font style changes everytime I reply.
Please tell me how to fix this to match everything else.
Thanks.

Problem with replies in Maverick's mail. Originating emails send fine. When replying to an email (various addresses) the reply is hung up and can not be sent. Option becomes put in draft, delete, etc. Any suggestions would be helpful

Problem with replies in Maverick's mail. Originating emails send fine. When replying to an email (various addresses) the reply is hung up and can not be sent. Option becomes put in draft, delete, etc. Any suggestions would be helpful. Mid 2013 iMac.

I don't know how rare this is. I went a week or so without a problem, and now it's starting to recur. Also, in some instances, an email will look unsent (remain in the outbox on the Treo), but it has been sent, and recipients are replying while I'm trying to figure out what is going on. Further, it will send the same email over and over during this madness.
This is a show stopper. If there isn't a software fix soon, I may chuck this phone in the garbage.
Post relates to: Treo 800w (Sprint)
UPDATE: The problem comes and goes. The next day, no changes to the treo, everything workeds. Now i'm suspecting the sprint server, and how it/the phone responds from failing to send while roaming. I've since turned off roaming, and haven't had a problem for several days.

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?

Why when people reply to my email, the reply address is wrong?

Why when people reply to my email, the reply address is wrong?
     What I did: 1) Mail > Preferences>Composing>Send new message from >[email protected]
     2) Selected the inbox for the correct email address before sending
     3) Selected the from from the composing pane

@Jscher2000.
It is still a frequent problem. We are dealing with people who are still using Windows XP some still using their trusty 2000 versions.
As for 2003. The same stupid setting is available in outlook 2013 see http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/outlook-help/change-the-message-format-to-html-rich-text-format-or-plain-text-HA102749169.aspx
I will stick to my original statement. Outlook is not an email application. Outlook is an excellent exchange client (its primary purpose) it is also an excellent corporate mail client as long as it is acting as an exchange client. Lotus domino and IBMs websphere have similar abilities and strengths luckily they are not flogged off to the general public as something they are not "a mail client". Outlook is, and does that job in a barely adequate way, providing the general user that is familiar with it's corporate functions a very skewed view of email and how it works.
@sloimpex have you tried right clicking the folder and selecting properties and then repair. Sometime the index get a little screwy and rebuilding it make the invisible visible.

After upgrading to Mountain Lion, when I reply to an email from the Global Inbox it incorrectly selects the reply to address.

Ok, since upgrading to Mountain Lion, when I reply to an email from the Global Inbox it incorrectly selects just my main business email account, even if the email was sent to a completely different persoanl address. This use to work without issue in Lion. I have at least a half dozen accounts that all come into the "Global Inbox" and I never worried about what account I was replying from as it always matched the account the email was originally sent to.
Now in Mountain Lion, this is broken and no matter what email I select it defaults to my main account and I have to remember to manually select the proper reply address from the drop down menu. So far the only way to avoid this is the keep all the separate account Inboxes showing and then selecting the account that I want to view. Then when I repy it is to the correct address, but having to do this makes the "Global Inbox" view completely worthless! If I have to select teh correct Inbox to get the proper reply address every time then what is the point of having a Global View?
Why did you break this Apple?

Hello,
When you compose a message right click on the attachement and choose "View as Icon".
I know there was a Terminal command to set all attachements as icons by default but never tried it :
- You can also use the Terminal (in your Applications folder > Utilities) quit Mail, and type in the Terminal :
defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -boolean yes
- To restore the original settings type :
defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -boolean no

Hope this will help.

I added an image as a signature which works great if a compose a email, however, the image signature is not added when I reply to an email?

I've added a image as a signature when a set up my email account. This image is successfully added when I compose a new email. When I reply to an email, the image is not added and I have to copy it manually from a newly composed email. I assumed that there should be a way around this?

Goto Account Settings and look under the section Composition & Addressing. There are two tick boxes for including signatures in replies and forwards.

When I reply to an email, instead of sending it to the recipient, it sends it back to me. I've checked the sent mail folder and the reply is not there either.

Replying used to work fine, but all of my replies are sent to my inbox, instead of going to the recipient. I've made sure that the recipient's email address is in the send to box.

Cause of the issue
Gmail webmail accounts do not have separate sent items and inbox folders. The Gmail account web page contains a Sent Mail link on the left side, but this is not a separate folder from the inbox. Gmail webmail messages are grouped into conversations, resulting in all sent messages and replies from others appearing as a single email message entry in the inbox. This allows for easy reading and viewing on the Gmail web page, but, when integrated with the BlackBerry Internet Service account, results in copies of sent email messages arriving on the BlackBerry smartphone as new email messages.
Resolution
To prevent sent messages from returning to the BlackBerry smartphone each time, create a filter in the BlackBerry Internet Service account to block the sending of those messages to the BlackBerry smartphone.
To create a filter, perform the following:
Log in to the BlackBerry Internet Service account. For instructions on how to log in to the BlackBerry Internet Service account, see KB03781.
Click the Filters icon next to the integrated Gmail account.
Click Add a Filter to create a new filter.
Configure the filter so that email messages are not sent to the BlackBerry smartphone if the email message originates from the Gmail webmail account integration:
Type a name for the filter into the Filter Name field. For example, My sent Gmail email messages.
Set the Apply filter when field to "FROM" field.
Type the Gmail webmail address into the Contains field. For example, <user name>@gmail.com>.
Select the radio button beside Do not forward messages to device.
Click Add Filter.
Note: After creating this filter, email messages will not be received on the BlackBerry smartphone if sent from the Gmail webmail account.

When trying to reply to an email, I get the message "the recipient was rejected by the server." What do I do to fix this?

I have just been having this problem and it has been driving me mad. The error message doesn't tell you which file is causing the problem so you can't fix it and it leaves your libray in a state of limbo with some files copied into the new location and some in the old location. After many hours I found a surprisingly quick and simple solution.
1) in iTune create a smart play list that includes everything that was added before tomorrows date. This will include everything.
2) Right click this playlist and export it as a text file to produce a tab delimited file.
3) Import this into a spread sheet, or just view it in a text editor with line wrap turned off. What you are interested in is the last column (or end of the line in a text editor). This gives you the path of the file associated with each entry in the library.
The path of the files that have already been copied successfully will start with the new location for your media files you specified. Scroll thru the rows until you get a blank path. If you start getting paths starting with the old Media file location then you went to far and start scrolling back.
The row with the blank path was the file that failed. Move back to the start of the row to find out more about it. In my case it was a podcast with a very long name. I just deleted that podcast from iTunes.
4) Restart the consolidation by choosing File, Library as you did before and the process starts again where it left off.
5) If it fails again on another file just repeat the process

How to change the sender's name/email-id in the scheduled report

Hi,
We have SCOM 2007 R2. In the Reporting tab (SCOM Console), we have some scheduled reports. I need to change the sender's name/email-id in a scheduled report. When we receive the report through email, receiving with the person's name who moved out of the
team.
I tried to change but could not find the option to change while editing the properties in SCOM Console under Reporting -> Scheduled Reports.
When we are receiving mail from that scheduled report, instead of an individual name, would like to provide a generic name. Please help me out. Let me know, if you need more information.
Thanks,
Naren.
Thanks & regards, Naren.

Hello,
the SCOM scheduled reports feature rely on SQL Reporting Services. So, if you would like to change the SMTP configuration, you should go in SQL Reporting Services Configuration Manager:
Open in the Start Menu, Reporting Services Configuration Manager.
In the connection window, click OK.
Click on the tab E-mail settings.
Change the Sender Address.
Click Apply.
Alternatively, you could also change in the Scheduled report properties the field
Reply to. I think it should customize the reply address for each scheduled reports, but I have never used it. Anyway, doing it with Reporting Services Configuration Manager is more interesting in the long-run.

Changing the Sender's Name of an Email Address

Hello Experts
I am sending Emails from an Activity in the Interaction Center WinClient and is working good. The thing is that i don't want to display the name of the person that is sending the e-mail once the e-mail is sent.
For security reasons, i want to change the sender's name for a text.
For instance, if Jose Perez is sending the e-mail, i want change that for Solution Center. That way, when the customer receive the e-mail, he will see Solution Center and the e-mail address ('[email protected]) of the sender.
Can anyone help me solve this issue?
Points rewarded
Thanks

Hello Alberto,
In the function module SO_OBJECT_SEND, which is used to send e-mails, you can pass the parameter ORIGINATOR and ORIGINATOR_TYPE.
ORIGINATOR = the email address that will appear as 'From'
ORIGINATOR_TYPE = 'U' for internet e-mailadresses.
Hope this helps,
Kind regards,
Joost

Change the Sender of an Email

Hi there,
i have an EWS Question. Im creating a Script that forwards E-Mails. Is it possible to change the Sender of an Forwarded E-Mail ?
When im forwarding an E-Mail im using the Account which got all the Rights to perform those EWS Steps. So the forwarded E-Mail got as Sender the Account "[email protected]". I need to change that into the Original Sender of that E-Mail.
The Customer needs this because his Employees would otherwise always answer to the Service Account im forwarding the E-Mail with.
I know that the E-Mail Message Class got the Propertys from and sender (which are the same?!) . If its not possible to change the Sender before forwarding the Mail, would it be possible to change the Sender of that forwarded E-Mail afterwards?
Greetings
Ingo

Sorry i didnt explained properly. The original Sender are extern E-Mail Accounts where i dont have access to. So someone outside their company sends an E-Mail to my Customers Company and im forwarding that E-Mail.
Maybe you know whether its possible to just copy (via the copy method of ews email message class)
an E-Mail from Inbox A to Inbox B? That would maybe keep the Original Sender of the E-Mail as it is.
Maybe another way could be to change the sender of the forwarded mail in inbox b via property sender/from from Email message class.
sorry for my bad english, i hope you get the point :D
Greetings
Ingo
