Link email address / Wrong FROM address

Hi,


Is it possible to link email addresses to your sent addresses so you don’t send from a different address?


This happens several times and it is incredibly annoying.


I have several email addresses that I use. When you create a new email, the FROM address is populated for you based on your last opened message. The problem is that sometimes when you’re in a hurry, you don’t pay attention to the FROM address and you just proceed to type the TO address and after you sent it, you realize the FROM address is from another one of your email addresses which wasn’t intended for the person you’re sending. So you sent the email to the correct person but wrong FROM address. This is really a terrible problem.


The email app should know that if I’m sending an email to person X, it would automatically link the correct FROM address to person X. Do you know what I mean? Ever happened to you before? Frustrating isn’t it?


Apple ought to fix this years ago. Can’t believe it’s still ongoing.


Anyways, hope you guys get this message and work on remedying it.

If you choose to compose an email from MailBox then Default email account will be chosen for From address but if you choose compose from an email account then that particular account will be chosen as From address. Logical, isn't it? For better understanding...
