Setting default email

[jshaw42]

I have two emails in my account and some how the wrong one has been set as default and I don't know how to change it. Any suggestions?

I am not sure what you mean by default email.

If I understand it correctly, you're pointing to your default account which is the system account. Why do you want to change that?
It's just system account.

You can still use your other account as the main account you mail from and also automatically forward messages to the system account to your main (not default) account.
As far as I know (if I'm not mistaken) you can't change this default.

Probably those are emails of two accounts)

Thanks for the replies. I am still confused. But will work it out.

Hi, edit vi /etc/aliases
change last line #root mark to root [email protected]

Thanks Cabn 12. But this kind of confuses an old guy like me. Where am I editing?

 

[Richard G]

That's for forward root emails. That is not your email account which is in your account as you said.

I have the same issue, could you please help me with that...I wanted to rename one of my Email account name, but I am unable to do it. Please share me some info on it.
