Q: How do I set a default email address?
I have four email addresses, three business ones and one personal address. Each time I write a new email it's sent from one of my business addresses and if I want to send the mail from my personal address I have to remember to choose the correct personal account from a drop-down box. Is there any way I can make my personal account the "default" address from which my emails are sent so that I don't constantly have to select from the drop-down box?

Open Mail, click Mailon the menu bar, Preferences, Accounts, highlight the account you want tobe the default, then under Outgoing Mail Server check Use only this server.
If you want to use another mail server to send a message, in the New Message compose window, below To, Cc, Subject is the From line where you can select a different server from which to send the mail.
