Why is one of my other email addresses trumping my default email address when I reply to emails?

Good morning.
I have several (4 different) email addresses imported into my imac mail program. I have gone through the settings and configured the program to best of my ability. I have set one email address as my default account. For some reason when I compose a new email message...the mail program will use one of my other email addresses (non-default email address) instead. Do I have something set up incorrectly?
Thanks
Alex H.

open up your mail preferences and in the composing section there is place to choose the default email address for composing new messages.
if you have several email accts though whatever acct you're in replying to the message will always default as the reply from address since that is the address it was originally sent to.

Can you add a submit by email button without a "default" to: address?

Can you add a submit by email button without a "default" to: address? I need the email window to launch without an addressee so the user can manually type in their addressee as needed. (A completed pdf will be attached to the email as well).

Hi,
use a regular button with this script in its click event.
event.target.mailDoc({
          bUI: true,
          cTo: '',
          cCc: '',
          cBcc: '',
          cSubject: 'My form',
          cMsg: 'Dear ...,\n\nhere is the final form data. \n\nKind regards\n...'

I have several users in an exchange environment who cannot email a photo from the iPhone. When the click on Email Photo, they are prompted to configure a mail account even though there is already an exchange account in place. How do I remediate this?

I have several users in an exchange environment who cannot email a photo from the iPhone. When the click on Email Photo, they are prompted to configure a mail account even though there is already an exchange account in place. How do I remediate this? Not all of the users in our environment have this issue. If the users having this issue, install a secondary email account, Gmail, Hotmail, etc, then they can send through those accounts. Why would the exchange account not be seen to send photos?

Sounds like it worked until the policies associated with the account that are creating the problem were fully pushed down.
Try setting up a new (test) Exhange account and see if it behaves the same way on the phone (after removing the problem account from the phone, of course).

Even though my email accounts seem to be set up when i press the email icon it just lists icloud, EOL etc and asks for new account to be set up

Even though my email accounts seem to be set up when i press the email icon it comes up with Icloud, EOL etc like it is not set up. When you press on icloud and put in details it says the account is already set up.
Email had been set up and receiving and sending email but seems that no longer working. Have i bumped something and how do i fix it.

This is for Ipad rather iphone that am having this problem

When I reply to emails my reply is at the bottom of the thread-is there a way to have my replies at the top so my recipients see them?

When I reply to emails using icloud my reply is at the bottom of the thread where none of my recipients see it-they think I am not adding any content. Is there a way to have my replies at the top of the thread so my recipients see them?

This is so horribly frustrating! If you just hit "Reply" and start typing, your new reply starts right at the end of the original message, without even a carriage return. It's the exact opposite of how MobileMe -- and most other mail apps -- work.
Can we either:
Move the cursor position in replied messages back to the top, as it was before; or
Add the option in Preferences to determine where you'd like your cursor to appear when you reply to messages

In when I reply to sender in Email at times it can take 15sec for reply email to appear. Often same occurs when initiating a new email?????

When I reply to sender in Email at times it can take 15sec (spinning beach ball) for reply email to appear. Often same occurs when initiating a new email? Anyway to eliminate this?

Speak to your ISP. Check your internet connections.

My iPad 2 is shutting down when I try to email a PDF created in pages. Why? Very frustrating...., My iPad 2 is shutting down when I try to email a PDF created in pages. Why? Very frustrating....

My iPad 2 is shutting down when I try to email a PDF I have created in pages. Why? Very frustrating....

That is very interesting in that my iPhone was exhibiting similar behavior with the "blue screen of death" with Pages a few months ago. An update for Pages came out and when I installed the update, the problem disappeared.
Is Pages completely updated on your iPad? Do you use iCloud with Pages? If you use iCloud, try turning it off. settings>Pages>Use iCloud>Off. You will not lose your documents since they will still be in iCloud even if you turn that off on your iPad.

I receive a text from someone but it has an e-mail address at top of message. When I reply and send , it gets returned. Why? and how was original message sent?

I have downloaded I-Cloud and the new ios program. Where do my text go through now if they don't show up on my bill in the data usage section? When I get a text from friends sometime their e-mail address shows at the top of the message instead of their name like it use to. Then when I reply it gets returned. They tell me they are sending it through the normal text like they use to.

You are probably right - I don't have my iPad with me and was confusing myself. But on the iPad it is receive at email addresses only.
Sending to the phone number will mean ONLY your iPhone gets the message. If you want it to go to ALL devices, then you should have them send to the email address associated with the AppleID you used to set up iMessage originally. Also set that email address up as your caller id on the iPhone so as you send out messages, people will reply to that and both your devices should get them.
Although Apple's notes indicate you should be able to do it - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2755
what if you just type in a 10-digit phone number on the iPad instead of an email?
(I originally did all this with iOS 5.0, and I know then the number did not work on an iPad, but maybe with iOS 5 updates, it does now?)

Mail crashing when selecting 'reply' to email

For some reason when replying to emails in 'Mail' the program goes to the beach ball.
If I just select new email and address it to the person that sent me the email I want to reply to all is OK.
Hope someone can help.
iMac 20" Intel Mac OS X (10.4.8)

So Mail doesn’t really crash (i.e. quit unexpectedly). Rather, it freezes (i.e. becomes unresponsive), right?
What type of mail account is this (POP, IMAP, .Mac)?
Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network, choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list.
Try disabling Search .Mac For Certificates in Keychain Access > Preferences if it’s enabled. Take a look at the following articles for an explanation of why this could be the problem:

or are you using pop3 (if so change to exchange)

Failure Notice when I reply to email

I can't figure out what's going on. Email that I"m sending to three people I've emailed before is bouncing. Here's what happened:
I had sent out one email to 12 people with no problems. Three people replied to me (and only me) with questions. I replied to them directly, sending three separate emails, each one addressed to just the person with the question.
I just received a "failure notice" email for each of those emails. They didn't go through. Their server did not recognize the email address. I checked the email address I used for each email. They are correct.
FYI: All three are using different mail servers (Telus, Shaw, Yahoo) All three are using PC's.
Is Mail doing something weird? I'm the only constant in this equation.
Sign me "totally perplexed"

I have a long email and would like to attach a PDF file to my latest response. The PDF is currently in my IBooks.
I know I can send the PDF in a new/clean email, but the point is that I would like to be able to attach it to the current email. I can insert a photo or a video but there doesnt seem to be a way to insert a PDF file.
I tried to open the PDF up in a new mail, cut it, then paste it into the existing email, but even that doesn't seem to work - I checked my sent box and there was no attachment on the mail when I tried it that way. The only way around the problem I can think of is to create the new email with the attachment, save it as a draft, go back into the original mail, copy it, go back into drafts and paste the existing text around my attachment - but this is a ridiculous and time-consuming process and not really practical.
Can anyone kindly advise? I think there will be an easy solution, but I just dont see it yet -

Safari logs me out of webmail when I reply to email

Since upgrading to ios8.1.2, when I sign into Shaw webmail through Google on SafarI, it doesn't always remember my password, and sometimes a box comes up that I have more than one password, not true. Worst, when I try to type a reply to an email, Safari automatically logs me out.

Hi Sonny,
Can you explain in a bit more detail the logging out?
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.

Problems with replying to emails. Please help???

I currently have 2 email accounts set up within Mail.
When I receive an email to the first address (email 1) and reply to it, the email is returned to the sender as if it has been sent from the second address (email 2) and when they reply back to me it is sent to the second address (email 2).
I have tried making sure that the original reply is sent from the first address but no matter how many times I try this it always sends and returns to the second address.
This problem only happens when I reply to emails and not when I create an email from scratch.
Can anyone please help as this is driving me nuts!!!!!
Thanks in advance....

Just to clarify.
I currently have 2 email accounts set up within Mail.
The first account is for business use and the 2nd is for pleasure.
Whenever I recieve an email to the business address and reply to it, the recipient receives the reply from my pleasure address and when they reply to that, it returns to me via my pleasure address.
I have tried making sure that the original reply from me is sent from the business address via the drop down "FROM" tab but this makes no difference.
This is my first iMac and this problem is driving me insane!!!!
Any advice will be greatly welcomed...
Thank in advance...

How to set my "reply to" email address to an email forwarded address

I own my own url, which is my last name, and I want the emails I send from mail to actually look like they came from "[email protected]" and not from the cryptic email name that my dsl provider assigned to me. By the way, "[email protected]" email addresses actually is set up to forward emails replied to it back to my cryptic email address (that is my real dsl email address).
I almost lost myself there, but my basic question is how do I tell "Mail" to send out a different reply email address when I send someone an email.

Does your ISP/DSL provider allow customers to enter a different email address to be shown as the sending address for an email account provided by the ISP?
If so, enter [email protected] in the email address field under the Account Information tab for your DSL account preferences.
This will appear as the sending email address for the account.
If your ISP restricts their customers from doing this (some do since spammers don't provide a valid sending or reply to address with their bulk spam mailings), you can include a Reply To address field for the message header but the reply to email address must be entered manually for each sent message.
