Mac Mail Question

Okay, I don't even know what to call the email that comes on the Mac when it's shipped. It just says "Mail." Anyway, that's what I'm using.

And I finally took the time to set up different folders so that different kinds of mail go into them, and that is really great.

My problem is, I have more than one account/email address.

I am subscribed to a couple of email lists with an email address I created just for that purpose, so the list mail won't be cluttering up my mailbox and overwhelming the mail I need to see promptly when it shows up. I can only reply to those emails from a specific email address.

The problem is, for some reason when I hit reply, Mail is automatically opening from the wrong account. I repeatedly hit send only to have stuff bounce back at me.

How do I change it so it knows which account to send from?

I'm IN the right folder when I hit reply, if that makes sense, but sending from the wrong account address.

Thanks!

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »
