Mac OS X and iOS hints

摘要

Although you can easily rearrange the order of your accounts in Mavericks' Mail sidebar, there isn't an obvious method to change the order that your email addresses appear in the 'From' dropdown menu when you're composing a new message. Annoyingly, the program lists those addresses in the order in which you first added them, which may not match your preferred ordering at all. There is, however, a potential workaround. First, launch System Preferences and select Internet Accounts. Next, determine the order you'd like the From addresses to appear. In that order, select each account in turn, and uncheck and then recheck its Mail option. Doing so removes and then re-adds the accounts to Mail. The From options should now match your selected order. Note, however, that even though this tip worked for us and for many Hints readers, it doesn't work for everyone.
