emailmail.app
I want to compose an e-mail from my Mail Application on my desktop. I have two e-mail addresses. How do I select one, or make sure, that the email is being sent from one e-mail address and not the other? I'm not replying to anyone, I'm composing a new e-mail.
Thanks!
I'm attaching the form field, it doesn't show an option to select which e-mail address to send the email from?
When I click the box next to orders@myemail.com, my other email address doesn't show?
The difference in autocomplete stems from the fact there is no “Mail knows about”. The lookup happens on two different sets of data:
Notice the difference: search knows about people you have only received mail from, compose does not. Hence different autocomplete results.
In the Mail.app preferences you can select the outgoing Mail server.
Changing it to your preferred account should be enough.
However, in case this is not enough you could delete the unwanted outgoing servers by editing the SMTP server list:

What is shown in the top part of the Mail app can be customised
Click on the box I highlighted and choose Customise. You will get a list of fields to show.
One of them is the From fields which is the one you want. Strictly with well behaved mail clients and users the Reply-To is really more relevant as that is the one a reply will be sent to However I find that some correspondants don't use it - I don't know why.
