How can I change the default email account in Mail?
I have one email account whose server is having problems. It seems to be my default email account. How can I set a different account to be my default account?

Jack,
You nailed the response. I did what you suggested, and now my new emails are being sent from the new account that I wanted to use. I knew there was a way to do this because I had done it several generations of macOS ago. Thanks!!

Hi Eastrade,
For now to change it, go to Mail > Mail (top left) > Preferences > Composing > change "Send new messages from".
Hope that other account works again soon!
Cheers,
Jack
