Selecting Email Accounts in Mountain Lion

By Len, 6 August, 2012

macOS and Mac Apps
Good Morning, I am a new comer to the Mac; I have been a happy iPhone user now for about eight months. I come from a Windows/UN*X history that goes back a lot of years. Thus far I am having fun on the Mac. This morning I decided to set up email. I have a number of email accounts for a variety of purposes. I had little trouble setting up accounts, and I can find the preferences for each account with no difficulty. Where I am getting stuck is switching between accounts. Right now I have my Gmail and my me.com account configured. Gmail is coming up by default. What is the easiest way to switch between configured accounts? Thanks for your time and wisdom. Regards, -Len

changing to another mail account within Mail

By David Woodbridge

Changing to another mail account is done via the Mail box list table. So if I Shift+VO+Home (FN plus LeftArrow for Home on the Macbook keyboard) I would get the following to arrive at the Mail box list: Favourites group, Mail box table, and then interact with VO+Shift+DownArrow to get to the Mail account inbox you wish to get to. If your Mail box list is hidden, just press Shift+Command+M to unhide it..

How to select default account

By Thomas Byskov Dalgaard

Hi! I've set up a few accounts on my Mac in the past and noticed that the default account changes from time to time. Before I could move my prefered mail account on top on the chosen one, but it looks like htis is no longer an option. That's a bit of an issue since Mail defaults to my education-mail and not my private account even though I am showing a message from that account when hitting "Nes message" with Command-N. Sorry for changing this topic a little, but hope it's ok...
