When replying to email sent to one account, another account is used as the "from"

Currently using TB v31.3.0 on OS X 10.8.5 (Mountain Lion)
I have several mail accounts that I send and receive mail from, but lets just deal with the two main ones.
Account#1 is my default private account - POP and SMTP. Lets say I am [email protected] at this account.
Account#2 is a business office365 account. Lets say I am [email protected] at this account.
Prior to a recent update (v31.2.0 I think), if a message was received via mail account #2, if I clicked reply, the message would be sent via the office365 account, irrespective of whether I was a named recipient of the mail or whether the mail arrived via one of the internal mailing lists.
Since the update if a message is received via mail account #2, if I click reply, the message is sent via the Account#1 SMTP server UNLESS MY NAME is explicitly mentioned in the "to" field.
In other words, if someone sends an email to [email protected] and I click reply, the mail is sent via account2.com - and all is well. BUT if someone sends an email to [email protected] (and so I end up with a copy in my account2.com inbox) and I click reply, the mail is sent via account21com - the WRONG account.
How do I restore the original behaviour without changing my default account?

Try Mail/Preferences/Accounts /Account Information. Select an account, then go to Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP). From the drop down menu select Edit SMPT server list. Then set up a server for each mail account so that is associated with the e-mail address. Then go to each account and set that server as the Outgoing Mail Server (SMPT). You can click Use only this server if desired.

  • Outlook crashes when replying to email sent from Mail

    Two of my staff are reporting that when they send email to people using Outlook, the recipient's outlook crashes when they try to reply.
    Has anyone experienced this? i've checked smtp servers, corrupt fonts etc.
    it seems to happen inconsistantly (i use outlook myself and have no problems).

    Frank thanks for bringing this post back up. I thought for sure it would go unnoticed. It seems to me that there is currently nothing the Geniuses can do about it - and because they claim it's an Android issue I doubt this will be addressed in the next iOS. Unless Android sends an update to their users fixing the problem - if it is an Android problem after all - then it looks like we are left to finding a solution on our own. Like I said previously, the only workaround I found is by "forwarding" the email and then manually entering the sender's address.

  • When I send an email with Mail, I often confuse the account which I'm using. The result is that I send a message with the wrong account! Is there a way to avoid this (for example a reminder before the email is sent)?

    Hi, thanks for the answer, I did that already. Unfortunatly this doesn't help me at all, as I often forget to check the menu. For me composing the message is writing the text, the subject, the person to who is addressed and than press "send".
    I often forget to check the "from", and this is a problem because the software select itself one of the accounts.
    Isn't there a way at least to put as a default a blank field instead of one of the accounts? or an account which doesn't work so if I forget to specify the "from" I will be rnotofied that the message can't be sent.
    I guess this could be a rather common problem for many people!
    Thanks

  • I have 2PCs with T/B can I get emails sent to one on the other temp measure.

    I have two computers using thunderbird for emails, as I intend updating the one of them that I get my main emails sent to I was wondering if when I have it offline would it be possible to get my emails using the other computer ( it is a Ubuntu computer.)

    Are you using IMAP or POP? See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/glossary-terms-including-types-accounts
    If you are using IMAP, you can access email from either computer and it will still be available on the other.
    If you are using POP, you can specify to leave messages on the server. Otherwise, when you read a message on one, it will not be available on the other.

  • How can I keep images when replying to emails?

    Hello,
    My company have recently changed email signatures to one that includes a lot of images. When you send an email from Outlook the image displays perfectly on iphone 5-so good so far! However when you try to reply to an email from iphone the images are not included in the reply and the signature looks untidy.
    If I click forward instead of reply on my iphone, I am given the option to "include attachments from the original message?". If I click "include" then the forwarded email signature appears as it should; if I click "don't include" the email signature does not display the images correctly as above.
    Is there a way to have the "include attachments from original message?" option when replying to emails on  iphone 5 (iOS 6.1.4)?
    Thanks

    Right-click the page, choose View Page Info, and click the Permissions tab. There you can turn off automatic loading of images (uncheck Use default first to enable the controls). Any luck?
    There might be a way to restore that more direct right-click menu item if you need it frequently, but I haven't researched it.
    To clean up a page for printing, you also could consider an add-on like the following: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/print-edit/ Print Edit :: Add-ons for Firefox]. Then you wouldn't have to re-enable images each time.

  • HT4899 I keep getting the same email sent to my I cloud account, even though i delete them they just keep coming back

    I keep getting the same email sent to my I cloud account, even though I delete them they just keep coming back. I now have 7 email that I that I can delete several times a day and they just keep coming back.  Very frustrating  !!  

    Go and log out of your MobileMe account and then try logging back in again with a dummy username and password.  This can help clear it and then just log back in again with your normal username and password.
    Note though that iWeb does not require a password or username to use it - this is MobileMe.
    Also, start thinking about MobileMe alternatives before you are forced to in June.

  • Qwerty keyboard stops working arbitrarily when replying to email

    Qwerty keyboard stops working arbitrarily when replying to email. Unable to backspace or type anything? Any ideas?

    I would reset the iPad and see if that fixes it:
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • I'm running OSX 10.9.2, when my system updated it required my Apple ID... When I provided it, it said that AppleID hadn't been used at the App Store... so now I'm locked out of my system... what do I do??

    First, there are no PPC Macs that can run Snow Leopard or later. Did you buy your iMac used? Where did you get Mavericks in the first place? If it was installed by the seller, then you are not licesnsed to use his/her copy.
    Do you know exactly what iMac model you have? If it's a post 2010 model you can do the following:
    Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
    Partition and Format the hard drive:
    1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    2. After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer. You may then go to the App Store to download Mavericks using your Apple ID.
    If you have a 2010 model you may require a special firmware upgrade before you can do the above: Computers that can be upgraded to use OS X Internet Recovery.
    If you have an earlier iMac then you must get Snow Leopard 10.6.8 installed by installing a version of Snow Leopard either included on the software restore discs or:
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mavericks if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.

  • When replying an email from my icloud alias, it's being sent from primary account

    Hi everybody
    I have experienced a little problem which is that when I'm replying to an e-mail from my iphone using my icloud alias, my reply is being sent from my primary e-mail and not from my alias as it should be sent.
    That's happening only when I reply from the iphone, not when using webmail icloud.com.
    Has anybody experienced the same issue ever?
    Thanks

    It may be that you have more than one outgoing mail account, and you're sending from the wrong one. From the Mail menu bar, select
              Mail ▹ Preferences...
    The Mail preference dialog opens. Select the Composing tab from the row of icons at the top. From the menu labeled
              Send new messages from:
    choose
              Account of selected mailbox
    Note that this setting may have no effect if you start a new message while a VIP or smart mailbox is selected in the mailbox list. Those are saved searches, not actual mailboxes.
    If the problem remains, select the Accounts tab in the preference dialog, then select the affected account in the list on the left.
    In the Account Information pane, select the correct server in the menu labeled
              Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)
    If there's only one server in the menu, select
              Edit SMTP Server List...
    and add a new server with the correct settings. If you're not sure how to do that, try the Mail Settings Lookup.
    Another possibility is that the wrong card in your address book is selected as yours. Select your card in the Contacts application. Then select
              Card ▹ Make This My Card
    from the menu bar.
