Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
Hello. I have a gmail account that I use to subscribe to various newsletters and accounts. So it's essentially a read-only account for me. But I too frequently accidently send mail from that account. Is there a way to prevent mail from being sent from that account?
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.4.8)
Mail preferences / Composing tab
Send new mail from: and pick the account you wish to use.
Well, I have a few other email addresses from which I regularly send mail. So I don't want to set a particular account as the default. I want to disable one account from sending.
I suppose you could delete the outgoing mail server settings for that account. I haven't tried it but it seems like that would disable it.
Mail preferences / Accounts tab
Select (single click) the Gmail account and set the outgoing server to "none".
I want to do the same thing as the OP. I have tried making outgoing server none. And checking "always use this server so it prompts me to edit the message so that I manually select a different address to send from inthe drop down list. And selecting a different account for composing. Actually, all my outgoing emails keep coming from the one account I am attempting to disable. Got any other ideas?
I had the same problem, and this fixed it for me! Thank you!

How can I disable sending from one Mail account?
