Listed below are the outgoing server descriptions (four) appearing for my gmail accounts. When I send emails from Account Y, the recipients receive them as coming from Account W. These accounts are listed under the Outgoing Server (SMTP) Settings in the following order:

gmail – W smtp.gmail.com gmail – X smtp.gmail.com gmail – Y smtp.gmail.com (Default) gmail – Z smtp.gmail.com

In this list “Delete” is enabled for all except Y which has a (Default) designation. I cannot delete that (Default) designation. Following are the outgoing server specifications for each account. I am unable to discern what I am doing wrong that ends up having Y emails appearing to be sent as W emails. Thoughts?

You are not using the correct smtp server.

Please post the following as images.

Tools > Account Settings > Outgoing Server (SMTP) select: the Y account smtp server Post image of this window

In left Pane select Y account select: Account Y mail account Post image of this window

If you feel you do not want to display any image containing your User Name, then I would suggest you send an email to me with images as attachments. Do not alter anything in the images. Email: mail at anje dot co dot uk
