Email sent in Windows Mail show that the email was sent from a secondary account. How can I change the main account?

Windows Mail

I use windows mail to send and receive emails.  However, when I send an email from my main e-mail address the response is sent to a secondary email address. My windows mail is set to import emails to this address, but I want the emails I send to show primary not secondary e-mail address. How can I change my settings to show that the email is sent to the primary address. Thanks for any help. Maureen

  1. Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | In general. Make sure that the response field is empty for both accounts.
  2. Also in tools | Accounts, make sure that your main account is the default account.

    I recently upgraded from windows 8 and when I was installing my account I accidentally put in a former Microsoft account that I don't use anymore. im just wondering how can I change my account information on my laptop so I can update it use my most recent Microsoft account.

    This error prevented me to use most of the features on the features of windows 8 as:

  • How can I change the color of the sky?

    Maybe it's easy, but I've never done anything like this before. I have a picture of a blue sky. I would like to take the blue sky and change it to the pink or green. The problem, for me, the sky is not a uniform blue color - it is more than a marbled blue. I like to play with changing the sky in various colors, but keep the marbled texture of the sky.

    How would I do that?

    Thanks for any help.

    How can I change the color of the sky?

    Continue to remove environmental laws and to deny the reality of climate change?

    More seriously: Add a layer of color, change the blending mode to color the sky you prefer and create a layer mask to limit the effect to the entire sky.

  • When emailing photos that all my selected photos are sent through Windows Mail. How can I change this option to send through yahoo.

    I have never been able to set up Windows Mail by following the instructions of windows that I don't understand.

    GoTo to your email, a new message, type recipient address, type Note If it is, click on add attachments (symbol of a paper clip), then click on the option Browse next to the first attachment, then choose your photo file. When you find the picture you want to send, click twice and this file will appear in the lower box. Then add to attach file. Please note you will need to do this with each photo, unless you have separated them in a single file. I have a cap of 25 kb so it is difficult to assess how many photos can I have in the file. In addition, it takes a long time to understand, as well, I just do it one by one. You then click on attach the button at the top and what they download to your email.

  • All of my Windows Mail subfolders and the emails contained in disappeared mysteriously.

    original title: Windows Mail lost all subfolders

    All of my Windows Mail subfolders and the emails contained in disappeared mysteriously.  I closed Windows Mail with all folders and opening Windows Mail again the next day, only the default folders (Inbox, sent, etc.) were present.

    I created a new folder named "Test" that I can see has been saved in "C:\Users\San\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Mail\Local Folders" as well as other folders by default, but I can find no trace of my 20 folders + that I had previously.

    Help!

    Nobody knows what could have happened and if they might be elsewhere on the HARD drive?  I have run several searches looking for folder names, but so far have developed in white.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

    Open your Windows Mail, under local folders, Inbox. Yes?
    Is there a pointer to this Inbox?
    If so, click it.
