Mac Mail uses the wrong return address

The title of your message does not square up with its content.

Which of the two is the problem?

If you receive a message to one of your accounts, and hit reply, it should be replying using that same account.

Which SMTP server is associated to which account is a completely separate question.

It should be set in Mail->Preferences->Accounts->Server Settings

the options there are different depending on what type of account it is (POP, IMAP, Exchange).

If you can clarify what exactly is the problem you are facing, maybe we can offer more tailored help.

If the issue is an incorrect return address is being used, do the following to change it:

1. Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts.

2. Select your account and choose Account Information tab on the right.

3. Inspect the Email Address menu on the right. Clicking this menu gives you the option to Edit Email Addresses. You can specify another address.

First of all, you cannot completely control how the receiver's email client displays messages, including the sender.

If your name is You and your account is "myaccount@myserver.com", it may display just the address, just the name, or both. Not much you can do about that.

Also,

myurlhere.com is NOT an e-mail address.

so perhaps you may want to clarify by showing us a specimen of how you expected things and of how they are actually appearing

If you go to Mail/Accounts/Server Settings, can you set the server there?
