Default From: address in all identities

[quote user="Dave"]

OK, got all identities to show the correct From address for each. Used the secure POP3 and SMTP settings from the account hosting services.

Check or get somebody to check the actual received headers of the messages you have sent out using the GMail server. You may find that only your GMail account address is showing unless you have a business type account. With individual account only the addresses listed with GMail in their settings actually are able to show as the From address if different from your GMail account.

When your whole ISP mail server has now outsourced to GMail servers that may constitute a business account type or they may have some special arrangement with GMail.

Once other addresses are listed with GMail then you can send using and showing those addresses thru the GMail SMTP server and they will show correct From: address  only.

Hi

Pegasus Mail 4.63 on Windoze 8 with four identities.

For some reason my default From: address appears in the From: field of messages created in one of the identities. My attempts to fix this only resulted in the default address appearing in all four identities. 

There has to be a simple fix that I'm too thick to find.

Thank you

Check the internet settings in each identity. The from email address should be that shown in the General tab in each case.

By internet settings, I assume you mean Network Configuration, under File?

Yes, those addresses under the General tab are correct, meaning different for each identity. First thing I checked.

I remain stumped.

Obviously also the SMTP definition for each Identity should gel with the email address. If there are several only the top one is actually used.

Really?

Wasn't always that way. Used to be ok to use my ISP SMTP for all outgoing, regardless of identity. Must've changed when my ISP switched to gmail for email service.

Let's see what else I can try...
