email Is there a way to set a default email address for sending emails? I have several email accounts that I use for incoming mail, but only one I use for sending. When I open a new email, it always defaults to one of the accounts I use only for incoming emails. It will not let me turn off the outgoing server on those accounts.

Default mail account Where can I go to change the default email account? It used to be in settings/mail - at the bottom. It's no longer there. Any search brings up changing the default email APP, not account.
