Re: Automatically Setting the From Address for "On My Mac"
You can change the order in Favorites, but not in Settings, Accounts. Changing the order in favorites does not change the global default.
And I don’t actually want to change the global default for all “On My Mac.” I want Mail to associate replies with the account that originally received the email, even though that email is now in “On My Mac.”
What intrigues me is that when I address a new mail to the MacSupport address, the From changes to the correct account, even when that is not the account I’m currently viewing. BUT it does not do this for a reply! Why not? It somehow knows what account the MacSupport address is associated with but only makes the change if I manually enter the address.
So why not when I reply to those same addresses?
Cheers,
tod

I thought that the upper most account in the All inboxes was the default sending if you don’t send directly from an account.
Want to try moving the list order and see if you can get the sending option you want?

I’ve tried “Get Info” for On My Mac folders to change the associated account by folder. Though it seems to let me switch, it does not stick.
When I address a new email to this list, the From changes from the default to the correct From account, but I don’t know why. And this does not happen when replying to a MacSupport email, only when manually addressing a new email.
Any thoughts on how to control this automatic behavior so I don’t have to remember to change the from address every time I reply to a list message?

No problems here, Tony.
May I suggest that you turn off your ‘phone - completely (slide bar) - and then restart it.
Then go to Settings > General > Software Update and set things in motion once more.
Good luck!

Re: Do I have anything to worry about?
We can’t tell from what you shared with us, but another indicator that something might be a phishing attempt, is if it is not sent to one if your valid e-ddresses, or one does not appear because it was sent by BCC , or blind carbon copy.?
A BCC can indicate it was sent to multiple people in a lazy phishing attempt. A computer doesn’t mind sending out 5,000 copies to 5,000 different e-ddesses. Human coders are sometimes lazy and just code the mailing list in with BCC, instead.?

Re: Do I have anything to worry about?
It looks like phishing to me for a few reasons, but because the text has been translated and we don’t have the full email, it’s hard to be sure. There’s nothing in what you’ve sent that clearly indicates that it is not from Apple. I do not receive emails like that one. I just logged in on an “untrusted” device to test and no email.
As for security, obviously there’s nothing wrong with changing your password as often as you wish, but never follow any links in the email. Go to your ?directly. You should also have two-factor authentication on in some form.
You can also, at any time, check to see “who” might be signed in. I do this whenever I go into my ID and remove any old or unrecognized devices.?
Cheers,

Re: Do I have anything to worry about?
First, I don’t think his account was accessed.?
Two, it is possible to access an iCloud account using Windows, so that part is irrelevant. It hardly indicates whether or not the account was accessed.?
Either way, he changed the password. I would stop worrying, but check the account over the next week.?

Re: Do I have anything to worry about?
Of course. It was also in the back of my mind that yesterday I’d done some online stuff from a Windows terminal at the library, but that didn’t involve iCloud. Thanks for the reassurance.

Yesterday, I was unable to send iMessages (blue backgrounds) to my son. Currently, he does not have an active eSIM in his iPhone Xr ?running iOS 17.3.1. He’s visiting us for 3 weeks while moving from Mexico to Poland, which is why he doesn’t have an active SIM). However, I’ve been able to send him iMessages both when he was in Mexico and while here on our WiFi, public WiFi, and (I think, even transmitted to his iMessages account over the cell networks (although I’m less certain of that.
When I composed and attempted to send him iMessages yesterday, a message would pop up saying that iMessage needed to be enabled on my device before the message could be sent, but when I looked at my iPhone’s settings, EVERYTHING related to sending messages as iMessages WAS enabled, and we were both using the same public WiFi at the time.
Curiously, if I launched the FaceTime app and created a text within IT, it DID get sent as an iMessage.
Anyone have any ideas what’s going on here?
Yesterday, we were in?
