Apple Mail, multiple mail accounts, setting a default.
Hi,
I have a client using Apple Mail under Mac OS X 10.6 and it is configured with two different email accounts, one account being the users email address (I will refer to this as EMAIL1), the other account being her bosses email address (I will refer to this as EMAIL2).
Everything is working fine apart from an occasional bug where by the user selecst the Inbox of EMAIL1 and then composes a new email which should by default list the sender as EMAIL1 but shows as EMAIL2.
As I said previously this only occasionally happens and hopefully the resolution will be to ditch the file "com.apple.mail.plist" from ~/Library/Preferences, and rename the "Mail" folder to "Mail.old" within ~/Library and recreate, and lastly recreate the account from scratch. Any other suggestions here would be appreciated.
My question to this thread is how do you permanently set the default mail account. There's nothing obvious within Apple Mail's Preferences so I'm guessing that a plist file would need edited. Does anyone have any experience with this?
