    Hi there,

    I've got a user with multiple mail accounts (from different ISPs) set up in
    Mail. Everything works fine, except we can't work out how to change things
    so that they can select which account they send to. At the moment it is
    always the one that they added first.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Thanks

    Martin

    It would be useful to know which version of Mail you're running. If
    you're on Panther or Tiger, you can select the account to be ued from a
    dropdown menu in the "new message" window.

    Also on Tiger, in preferences, under "composing", there's an option to
    set the account to prefer when sending new mail. You can still select a
    different address in the new-message window, but this sets the one that
    gets selected by default.

    Actually I've found that works on version 2.02 (732/733) of Mail in OS X,
    but NOT on version 1.3.11(v622) of Mail. Anyone got any idea how to set the
    default accounts in an earlier version of Mail?

    Thanks

    As the poster said, this feature is only available in Tiger's version of
    Mail. For Panther, see what it says in Mail Help under 'How is the
    "From" address determined in a new message or a reply?'
