" From" Field Always Sports Default Email For All Replies
Feb 26, 2010
I have several emails configured on my windows mail and one of it configured as default email. All the emails of the configured accounts show up in the dropdown list of "from" field with the default email selected while creating a new email which I can select to choice. For all emails (accounts) I have set the respective unique HTML signature using the advanced button.
My problem: When I receive email on accounts other than the default email and when I click to reply to those emails a reply window open up with the default email address in the "from" field of the reply window and with the signature associated with the default email. To reply from the email address to which I had received the email I need to select the correct email ID from the "from" field drop down list and the signature I have to change manually. Once or twice momentarily I had seen this happen automatically however not after that
WHAT I WANT TO ACHIEVE: When I receive emails and when I reply to those emails the reply window should open up with the "from" field sporting the email address of the account to which the email was received and with the associated signature for that account. Default emailshould not appear.
I hit ctrl and an h and this + (in a box) appreard to the left of my from field. It then posts all future emails to that original one with the + and box. How do I get rid of the + and box?
Trouble getting new email address (hotmail.com) recognized as default email. Tried all methods posted on forums: tools option and control panel. Control panel default settings will not allow option to disable Windows Mail. (grayed out). Register Hotmail software says only Vista but I am using Vista. Also cannot open old email program (Windows Mail) : getting error message MSOE.DLL 0x8007002: Checked and followed all advice on forums. Have also stopped virus software from scanning emails.
I subscribe to two news servers in Windows Mail - one the MS News server and one a non-MS news server. The MS News server exhibits certain weird behaviour in that several groups constantly list a small number of messages not downloaded, no matter what I do, whether I mark all read, or use the catch-up function, or Get the next 300 headers. Also the "Show Replies to my posts" function goes awry - if I set the view to that, it works on the first group I set it on, but if I go down through the group list, without changing the View from that, WM does NOT display replies to my posts, I have to uncheck it and re-check it for each group.
I have several e-mail accounts set-up within Windows Mail (Vista). Lately, when I reply to a message it defaults to being sent from an account which I rarely use, and which is not the same as the account which received the original e-mail. I can't figure out why it's happening, or how to change it so the correct account is used.
I keep having the problem of missing replies in different newsgroups in Vista mail. (I do get the replies normally on my PC with Outlook Express). By resetting the group in Vista Mail I can fix replies back, but... do I have to keep resetting groups now just to be able to follow a thread?
Referring to Microsoft Mail on Vista computer: I have two email accounts using MS Mail. A is my default account, B is not. When mail is sent to my B account, I can't reply to it. It sits in outbox with an error message. I can only reply to mail sent to A, the default account. Is there a way to set it up so I can reply to mail using both accounts?
In my haste while updating Windows Live Essentials, I inadvertently selected ???Windows Live Mail??? as my default email program. Before this update, I was successfully using my Verizon account via Windows Live Mail to access all of my personal and business email accounts, both sending and receiving, as they all were listed in the email program. There was also my set of storage folders, which were converted to Windows Live Mail "Local Folders," I suppose.
Now, after the update, all of my email accounts no longer exist. The only things listed are my "Local Folders" and ???Microsoft Communities.? When I go into Tools on the menu bar, and Accounts, the only Account listed under ???Mail??? is ???incoming.verizon.net (default)??? and none other. Not even the Windows Live Mail account shows up there. Is there a way to get all my accounts back?......
I set it as default in IE, by using the default setting button and windows mail, but revert rite back to not set as the default email client. It is missing from the default program listing.
I am running IE 7 under Vista Home Premium 64 bit with SP1. I made Yahoo my home page and want to make Yahoo Mail my default email client instead of Outlook or Windows Mail. However, when I get to the window where I can select my default programs, Yahoo is not listed. According to Yahoo Help, as long as the Yahoo Toolbar is loaded (it is), Yahoo Mail should be in the list. I've tried loading the toolbar several times, but it jes' ain't there.
I'm having trouble making Outlook my default email program. It does not appear as an option in setting default programs even though it's definitely a registered program. And Windows Mail cannot be uninstalled since it's part of the OS.
I can't seem to get Windows Mail to accept my setting of a preferred font for the default. I am setting Ariel, but when a go to enter text in an email it uses the first font on the font list.
I can't set my email as default. I have gone into tools and "set as default" but it doesn't stay, so I went online to find an answer - I got some great help from an earlier post but when I went into Default programs - set program access and computer default - custom I find "use my current email program" but no tick boxes for enable access to this program.
I'm a bit stumped about where to go next. NB: I had to reset my computer back to factory settings in July as I lost sound following the service pack 2 download. I can't email photo's or send links for webpages. Also in the set default programs it has windows mail (news) as my default.
this is the first time i am using windows mail. in all earlier versions like outlook / express etc, i know this option where you can use word as default editor for composing all new mail messages. this ensures that we can format / allign / bullet etc just like in word. However, this windows mail thing is not showing me this option of using word as default editor for composing all new messages / replies.
I inadvertently said I was using an exchange server and now I am trapped in a never-ending cycle of error messages that will not let me change the server settings to the appropriate pop server. In XP you can go to: Control Panel/Mail/Email Accounts/View or Change Existing accounts, but this option doesn't seem to exist in Vista. Here are the messages I get and the outcomes, I've also attached a couple of screen shots. "The connection to Microsoft Exchange is Unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action." At the same time a smaller window is open that says "Configuring Outlook Accounts" The only options presented are to click "X" or "OK" to close the window, once this is done the Microsoft Exchange Window opens with the incorrect server name and account name that I typed in originally. If I try to delete them and click "apply" or "ok" or simply click "X" the following window message appears from Microsoft Outlook: "Cannot open your default email folders. The file C:/Users/HP/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Outlook/Outlook.ost is not an offline folder file." The options at this point are to click "X" or "Ok" once done the program closes. I have tried uninstalling Office and re-installing, but the Microsoft Exchange Server still remains. I am connected to the internet, all I want to do is change from Exchange Server to pop and supply the necessary pop and smtp information to set-up my email properly. I have been pouring over this for the better part of the day and what's worse is this is for my work email. I am in a remote office, on a laptop, without an IT guy at the moment.
In Outlook Express the BCC field was listed at the top of each new email. In Windows Mail you have to click on the TO: let it open the window then type the BCC in the field. How can you get the BCC field to appear on the original window?
I have two versions of Eudora on my PC but only one (Eudora 8 beta) is recognized in file folders that contain *.jpg files (as of today).
Before today, I would highlight a JPG and click on Email at the top of the open folder. Eudora 7.1 would come up and all I had to do was put in an email address. I should say that I use Eudora 7.1 with two sets of data - one for me and one for my wife.
However, my wife's version would come up which is what I want. As of today, Eudora 8 beta comes up when I click on Email. I have no idea how the association changed.
I also don't know why my wife's version of Eudora 7.1 used to come up instead of mine.
There must be a way to reset the association. I tried resetting the association in Internet Explorer - but only Eudora 8 beta is available as a choice. That's another problem. Why isn't Eudora 7.1 a choice in file associations in Internet Explorer 8?
I'm not even sure if this is where I should post this but I'll give it a go. I purchased a new PC last week with Vista Home Premium on it. I have (for years) used MSN Premium software as my email program. Now, it seems I can't make this my default email program with Vista. I am going nuts! I have spoken to MSN support who tell me to do the same things over and over. I have also spoken to Microsoft support who told me I have to use Outlook or Windows Live mail instead.
It's really hard. I have taught my elderly parents how to use the MSN software and now we have to change - or do we? I've tried the email settings in MSN itself, I've tried associations for programs in Vista and also the default programs. Nothing is working. Surely, one Microsoft program should work with another? We pay for this software so that we can also have sub accounts on our email more storage than the usual hotmail space.
My system restore fails every time I attempt it. This has happened the last 3 times I had a need to attempt restore. (Three attempts separated by months in time, about different issues.) This time, I am thinking something may be wrong with my system restore function.
In this case, it is simply a matter of trying to roll back a browser update.
I saw a whole list of available restore points, and I went to the second one back - from only a few days ago. The restore failed.
I am using Windows Vista Home Premium, OEM from Gateway Laptop about 1.5 yrs old. I allow most updates.
I have several email accounts configured on my windows mail on my Vista home premium and one of them is configured as the default email. When I reply to emails received on email accounts other than the default email the "from" email address does not change to the email address of the received account.
I understand that the email address in the "from' field when I start a "new" message or create mail is that of the configured default email. My question is while replying to an email received in other configured accounts should not the "from" field email id change from the default email id to the email address of the email to which is replied.
When I open the hotmail.com page, I see in the live id field someoneelse's account adress. Instead I am supposed to see my own account adress, as a cookie should keep that. Now I dont know what is going on... I use vista ultimate with AVG. I leave my laptop open during the midnight for emule. I use wireless internet conenction and it is unsecured. My vista ultimate has the sp1 and latest updates, with firewall on... In these conditions can someone reach and use the hotmail from my computer? What is going on? If I cannot get a sensible answer, I will start to doubt if someone breaks in my home during the day and use my laptop, when I am at work.
Recently some default security policies has been changed on my Vista, apparently as the result of upgrades to my system.
1: I can no longer activate an URL received in an incoming email directly but must copy the URL to the address bar in my Internet Explorer. This makes sense and I can live with that.
2: I discover that I can no longer open some of my word documents "created in an earlier version of Microsoft Office". The message refers to registry policy settings and the help system refers to a Microsoft knowledge base article 922850 that leads me nowhere useful.
Where is there a list with the meaning of the various possible icons displayed in Windows Mail. For instance, there is one showing a left-pointing red arrow on one message in Sent Items.
I just reinstalled Vista (64-bit, Ultimate, SP-1) and was checking out on how some programs were running and realized that after I typed in a few letters in the "start search" field my programs were NOT showing up. What did I do wrong? What setting did I mess up?
i also tried to change my default email to windows live, it doesn't work, comes up w/ some weird kind of mail that doesn't send messages (not sure if it's trying to use windows mail even tho it's set to windows live mail, or what). so, i'm trying to set up my windows live account (which is new, just set it up a couple of months ago), through windows mail. tried setting to pop3.live.com and smtp.live.com and when it goes to connect i keep getting this error message:
The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'pop3.live.com', Server: 'pop3.live.com', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10061, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E
i really want my default e-mail server to be set up to something that works. and i do not want to go back to using my yahoo account.
