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?

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
