Setting the Default Account

If you have more than one account, you should specify one of them as the default account. The default account is the one Mail uses automatically when you send a message. To set the default account, select it in the Mail group and then click Set as Default.

It is possible to send a message using any of your accounts. However, sending a message using anything other than the default account requires an extra step. See “Sending Messages,” later in this chapter.
