How do I change the default sent from address?
Currently, I have two email accounts enabled in Postbox. However, the default email address whenever I write a new message is my Gmail account. I actually want to send almost 99% of my email from the other account, and I'd prefer not to have to click on the down arrow and manually select that alternative email account to send most of my messages from.
Is there a way that I can change what email address is the default address that Postbox messages are sent from?

Inappropriate?In the accounts list, drag the account that you want to be the default to the top of the list. This will set it as the default email account, and all new messages (which aren't replying to a thread in an existing account) will start life as initiating from that account. -
Inappropriate?I have tried multiple times to drag the account to the top of the account list, but it doesn't drag. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
Should I just delete my gmail account, keep my secondary account, then readd the gmail account. I wonder if that would fix the problem and bump the secondary account up to be the default email for sending messages.

Inappropriate?Hi Jeff,
Russ is right the way to fix this is via drag and drop in your account pane on the left hand side.
select the 2nd accountand drag it above the first account and then release the drag. That should cause them to be re-ordered.

Inappropriate?Okay. So here's the weird thing. I've added the account in Tools-Account Settings.
However, that account does not appear in the left hand account pane. I've exited and restarted Postbox several times, but the account still doesn't appear there. The account is listed in Tools-Account Settings, but doesn't appear in the left-hand pane.

Inappropriate?And, I should add, the account is there and available as a drop-down option when I'm sending an email.

Inappropriate?is the account set up as a pop account using a universal inbox? that could explain why it isn't listed on the left hand pane if it is under local folders...
