Mac Mail Profile Picture

I use several different email accounts in Mac Mail. How do I update the profile picture for each? I have updated the picture associated with my Apple ID email, but I can't change the others.

Profile Picture in MAIL Hi I would like to remove my picture in the E-Mail Header. It appears always, when I send an E-Mail. I already changed my picture in icloud, removed my own contact in the contact list but nothing helps. The old picture stays in the e-mail header.

wrong user profile photo Hello! Looks like I found a bug.. I have two different iCloud accounts with different profile photos, for example: first@icloud.com - with a bird in the photo second@icloud.com - with a flower in the photo "First" is my main account, which is why I used it to sign in to my Mac. "Second" is added as an additional one in Settings - Internet accounts (contacts and calendar synchronization is enabled) At the same time, in Contacts I have two cards of My contacts - one for the First account and the second for the Second account The Settings app, iCloud settings, the login screen on my Mac, Settings - Users & Groups - all these places show me the "flower" photo! But this is wrong! My main account and AppleID - "First" with a photo "Bird" How to fix it? PS. What I have already done: 1. Removed "Second" from Settings - Internet Accounts - the photo changed to "Bird", which I expected. But, after adding the "Second" account back - the avatar changed again to "Flower" 2. Changed the profile photo in Settings - Users and groups - set the photo "Bird" for my user account. After that - the "Bird" photo is automatically set as a profile photo for the "First" and "Second" accounts at the same time. This is wrong, I don't want to change my avatar to "Second".. Only for my main "First" account 3. I generally removed the avatar from the "Second" account. In this case, on the Mac, the profile photo disappears from all places .. Although the picture remained in the "First" account Help me please!

Hi there lauri267,

In order to change the profile picture associated with another email account in the Mail app, you would need to add these other email addresses to your 'My Card' using these steps: Update contact information in Contacts on Mac

If you would like to add a different profile picture for each email address that you have, then you would need to make a new separate contact card for each email and change the picture using this: Add or change contact pictures in Contacts on Mac

We hope that helps!

Thank you! I would never have thought the secret was updating the contacts. Appreciate you taking the time to respond!
