wrong server accessed when trying to send email 11 years 3 months ago #28580

I get an error message when trying to send email to any of the club lists on FTH.
"Cannot send message using server . . ."

The server listed is an old server associated with an old email address.
That old email address now has a new server.
I have changed the addresses in my profile, but only the old email address appears in the "From" box in the email message.

How can I change the email address that appears in the "From" box?
If I must use the old email address, how can I change the server accessed?

The instructions in FTH for the club email state that the address in the "From" box must be the same as one of the addresses in my profile. This suggests that I should be able to change what is in the "From" box, but I cannot.

Can you help? I would like to be able to mail to the club lists from FTH

Margaret,

Double-check your profile 1 more time to make sure there is not a typographical error.

Do you get the same message if you send an email to members (or This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) from your gmail account?

Roger,

I can send an email message to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. from my gmail account.
I just can't send a message by clicking on the club address list in FTH.

Should I be able to see the names and email addresses in the club email address lists?
There is no typo in my profile.

Margaret,

Now I understand your frustration.

You need to set up your default programs in your control panel to use either your gmail account or your other preferred email.

you might need to get local IT assistance or google default programs, depending on your operating system.

Is there a control panel in FTH that I can access?

It is not clear to me where my return address comes from.
I get my old email address as my return address, even when that address does not appear in my profile.

Margaret.

The control panel is on your computer.

Unfortunately, we cannot assist on setting up computers, as we cannot see what you have.

This issue arrises on my laptop at home, as well as on the computer at work.
Is there any possibility that FTH may have a setting that could be modified to address this issue??

How do you usually send email?

Outlook? Outlook express, Microsoft mail?

Or do you use a webmaii like gmail, yahoo, or hotmail?

I use gmail. I have two gmail accounts--one work account and one personal account. Verizon is the host for my home computer, and I also have a Verizon account, which I generally don't use.

Margret if you use a webmail like gmail you have to copy and paste the email addresses you cannot just click on the address.

If you want to just click then you need to setup your PC with an email client like outlook or Microsoft mail.
