Mail - Designating One Return Address

I have 3 accounts listed in Accounts in Mail.

I only want one of them to show as the sender when I compose an e-mail.

How can I tweak Mail settings to accomplish this?

iMac with Retina 5K display, macOS 10.14

Greetings ttibsen,


Thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities! I understand you're curious how to set an email address as your default address when composing messages with Mail.


To set your preferred email address for composing messages, open Mail on your Mac, then choose Mail > Preferences > Composing. Then click "Send new messages from:", and select which account you'd like to set. You can see these steps outlined in the following guide: Change Composing preferences in Mail on Mac - Mail User Guide


Cheers.
