Q: How to change default e-mail account
I have 4 mail accounts configured in Mail.app. When composing a new message, it will default to the account for the currently selected mailbox, which is great. However, when no particular mailbox is selected (when viewing the combined Inbox for example), it defaults to one particular account. I want it to default to a different account. How can I tell Mail.app which account to use?
Changing the order of the mailboxes doesn't make any difference. There is a preference that would allow me to have all new messages come from a certain account, but I don't want that. I want it to default to the current mailbox if there is one. I just want to change the default when there is no current mailbox selected.
There's gotta be a way to do this, right?
