Why is the "From:" field being changed in Mac Mail. I have multiple gmail accounts setup and it seems to change the "FROM" field even though I've selected which account to use to send the email.

So

I've got multiple gmail accounts setup in Mac Mail.

Somtimes when I send or forward emails, it uses the wrong FROM field even though I'm declaring

specifically which account to use.

This becomes apparent when the person replies to my message and it goes to the wrong account

Check you accounts in Mail and make sure each account has the correct outgoing server address. Check the box to use only that server.

Second, go to the gmail website and in settings under the account tab, make sure you have the correct settings for replying to messages.

on my mac all is fine, mail always sends from the default account unless I over-ride it

but on my phone when i enter certain recipients names mail changes the 'from' away from the default account. Why ? and how do I stop it ?
