Why is Gmail the default email account in iOS 7?

When I open iOS 7 Mail (after quitting it) it automatically opens my Gmail account.  I have tried using Setting to change the default email and I have tried reordering the accounts in the Inbox window but nothing works.

I don't know. Mine generally opens in whichever account it was in when I closed it (including All Mailboxes).

  • How do I make gmail the default email program for email links in the Mozilla browser?

    In previous versions of Mozilla I was able to click an email link , for example, on a craigslist listing and it would automatically open my gmail login page or if I was already logged in it would prompt a new email (compose) with the email field already populated with the email link from which it was prompted. Hard to explain but currently it initiates an Outlook Express session which I don't use or even have configured. How is this process edited to work the way I would like it to? Thanks

  • I can't seem to sync my calendar on my iphone to iCal because the default email address associated with my calendar on my iphone was to an old work email address that I no longer have.

    I can't seem to sync my calendar on my iphone to iCal because the default email address associated with my calendar on my iphone was to an old work email address that I no longer have. When I go to ICal it asks for the username and password which I no longer have. The calendar is still on my phone (even though the email account is on my phone but doesn't work) Is there a way to copy my calendar to a different email address on my iphone? I have now set the default email account for the calendar to a current email address but I still can't figure out how to merge my iphone calendars, copy the iphone calendar to iCal, or save my iphone calendar to my mac. Also, I read in ITunes to check "sync to ICal" but my  ITunes under my iphone and info just says "Sync Calendars" which doesn't transfer it to iCal when I sync my phone.

  • Aattach as email option in Acrobat X Standard doesn't send to the default email address in Outlook

    I am running Microsoft Office 2010 Proffesional + and in Outlook I have two separate (not aliases) email accounts that are attached to the same .pst file.
    When I open a pdf file with Adobe Acrobat, and try to "Attach to Email", Adobe opens up Outlook and creates a new message like it's supposed to, but it does not select the default email account as the sending account.
    I've tried removing the secondary account and then re-creating as new, but I still get the same result. I also created a new profile and configured both email accounts but didn't worked. BTW i have installed the most recent updates for both OS (Win 7)and Acrobat
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance

    Sorry totally my fault - no issue at all... more a problem with the tester! users with an external email address are receiving the email it just seems when the email is sent from Apex standalone is appears in the inbox but when it is sent from within an iframe it is sent straight to the junk mail by the email client... still a little strange there is a difference in behaviour but at least it doesn't totally fail as I first thought.

  • IOS 6 upgrade corrupts default email account?

    I'm seeing a pattern where upgrading to iOS 6 creates a problem where it appears the default email account becomes unresponsive and cannot log in to retrieve email, but can send just fine.  I know others have experienced this, has anyone found a solution other than to nuke the email account and recreate it?  thanks!

  • Has anyone found a solution to the issue of default email account on iPhone continually changing?

    I am seeing an irritating problem with the default mail account, calendar and contacts list on my iPhone 4.
    Every so often (I think it happens randomly after syncing or even just connecting the iPhone to my iMac without syncing) I notice that some or all of my default email account, calendar and contacts list have changed away from my desired default (which is my Exchange account).
    The iPhone is running iOS 4.3.5 (8L1) and I'm using iTunes 10.4.1 on my iMac.
    I found this discussion: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1639451 dating back 2 years to the days of iOS 2.1 without any solution. Googling hasn't helped me find any answers yet.
    I have 5 accounts set up on the iPhone - a MobileMe "Find my phone" account that's only used for that purpose, not email, a GMail account, a couple of vanilla IMAP accounts and my main, Exchange 2010-based account that I use for mail, contacts and calendar.
    Most frequently after a change I find that the default email has switched to the GMail account, the calendar and contacts lists have switched to my iPhone and most of my Exchange account mail folders are empty and have to re-sync when I tap on them.
    I know from Googling that other people have been seeing similar issues.
    Has anyone found a workaround or solution?

    Has no one found any solutions to this?
    Or at least what causes it (so that it might be avoided)?
    I find it difficult to believe this issue has existed so long in iOS without being addressed!

  • What does radio mean in the contact selection instead of mobile or home, and why is it the default?

    What does radio mean in the contact selection instead of mobile or home, and why is it the default?
    When adding a new contact, the number shows up as "radio" instead of "mobile" or "home" and I have to change it every time. What does "radio" mean and why is it the default? can that be changed?

    Radio is a type of phone service offered by certain carriers.  Sprint for instance offers their Sprint Direct Connect Phones (a.k.a Nextel) which have built in Radios.  Short Wave or CB radio type features. Also referred to as Push to Talk services.

    Think a walkie talkie in your Phone.
    I get the Radio option when using Hotmail contacts as the default Contact creator. If I change it to iCloud or Gmail I no longer get the Radio option in the labels.
    If you are using a service such as Hotmail/Outlook.com for your contacts the radio option may be present.
    You can change which service is the default service to create new contacts with by going to Settings->Mail Contacts & Calendars->Contacts->Default Account
    The Radio label is just an identifier for those types of Phones so you know its a number for a radio phone.

  • How do I stop Mail being my default email account?

    When I click on an email address on a web page, Mail opens up. I'd prefer
    using Gmail. Is there a way to do that, without having to copy the email address, and opening another browser?
    Thanks,
    Paul

    Hello Paul.
    Are you aware that you can access your Gmail account as a POP account with an email client such as the Mail.app?
    The default email reader selection with Mail is for just that - your chosen email reader and a browser used to access an email account via webmail is not considered an email reader but there is a work around with this.

  • Are there downsides to having gmail or aol email accounts in MAIL?

    Hi,
    My friend has an aol, gmail and .mac email accounts-he's not happy w/ MAIL.
    He is annoyed that if he's away from his main computer and sends emails via the internet (like in gmail) - that there is no way to have his SENT emails download onto his computer. Is there anyway to get that to work?
    I keep telling him to lose the aol account - don't they just stink with MAIL?
    Thanks in advance...

    I'm not sure for AOL, but Gmail offers IMAP support as well as POP 3. The default setting is POP 3 and that might be the reason that your friend can't see the e-mails sent from the browser on his Mac. But if he uses Gmail IMAP then he should see everything. .Mac works the same way as your friend should know since he also have a .Mac account.
    Note: Leopard Mail uses POP 3 by default, if you choose to use IMAP then uncheck the create account automatically option.

  • Changing default email account in iPhone mail

    Hello,
    I have initially setup my Mail with my "primary" .mac email address, but the problem is that any email I reply to on my iPhone uses that email account & alias, even if the email was sent to another email alias provided my my .mac account. This does not happen on the Mac version of Mail.
    How can I either have the iPhone version of Mail use the same email alias for sent messages depending on which alias the incoming mail was sent to?
    I tried changing the default email alias in Mail Settings but did not get a successful authentification. But if I can change the default email alias for sent messages, that would be OK too.
    Thanks
    Lex.

    I've had this question for a while myself.
    I do have my iPhone IMAP'd to a gmail account. In that gmail account I have set up various address that I send from, and I have setup Gmail to reply to the address an email was sent to. From within Gmail, I can set any of my addresses in the FROM field when I reply or compose an email. I am using Gmail as a funnel to catch all mail I get from various accounts, and I wish to use this Gmail funnel as my only account to check on my iPhone.
    On my Mac Mail on my desktop, I can accomplish what I want by having multiple accounts setup but then setting them as OFFLINE. This prevents Mac Mail from retrieving duplicate messages from multiple accounts, but it allows me to change the address in the FROM field of any message when I reply or compose.
    On my iPhone, the only way to change the address in my FROM field is to have an active account online on the phone. Once I turn an account OFF, that address is no longer available in the FROM field. And the mail that comes in from Gmail does not automatically set the FROM to be the same as the address the mail was sent to, despite having that setup at Gmail.
    Is there any way to have the iPhone do what Mac Mail does, allowing me to set an address in the FROM field without having to have that address set up as an active account on the phone?
    Any workaround for this?
