Apple Mail changing sending email account

When sending new email, if I change the sending email account, cannot access the default email signatures for that account. If I delete it, it can remains in the out box and flashes up every 5 seconds until I delete it from the out folder.

Apple Mail changing my send from email address I've recently changed my primary email address from the one I've used for years. Even though I select the new email address in the "From" section, and have made my new email address the default "Send From" account in Apple Mail settings, after I press send, Apple Mail is reverting the send from email address to my old email address. It is doing this on my MacBook and my iPhone. How do I get Apple Mail to stop automatically changing the send from email address to my old one?

Mail will be sent from wrong account Hello! I can't get this to work. It looks like a bug but I can't quite believe it since it's too obvious. I have setup multiple accounts in Apple Mail (IMAP). Each account has their own SMTP server to send emails. When I compose a new email I select the account from where I want the mail to be sent from. However, it will deliver the email from the wrong account! I tried several times, the email will always be delivered with the wrong sender account. It does work fine on the iPhone but it will not work on the Mac. I tried rebooting the machine, but the problem persists. What can I do?

Mail not sending from the selected account. In the preferences of Apple Mail, under the "Composing" section, when sending an email, you used to be able to choose a either a specific account or "send from the selected account" (not sure if the the wording is correct but it was something to that affect). Now all I'm able to select is 1., either a specific account, or 2., "Automatically select best account". I noticed this because Apple Mail has been sending email from my wife's account and not mine. My wife and I use Apple Mail for all our email accounts on our Macs (not on our iPhone's) because we find it annoying to have to log in and out of separate users. Anyway, you can see how this can become an issue when I send an email and the person on the receiving end sees it come from my wife and not myself.

I understand this but the email account I am switching to has signatures set up but cannot access them.
