Best practise: Choose correct eMail account for sending?

Hi Quesito.
Though I can select the sending email before sending, in haste I have sent a work email from my personal account. It creates a real mess because now replies come back to my personal email account and get lost. Worse it doesn’t look very professional.

@Earnst1 My practices.

  1. After eM client is open (for some reason it defaults to my personal account) then I’ll right click on my business account and “Open in New Window”. So I have two instances of eM client and I must switch windows. This more or less keeps me working only in one account per window

  2. On the window showing my business account, in the account list I click on Inbox to make it the active inbox. When I click New for a new message, it is coming from my business email account If I leave the selection the account name, sometimes the sending email is my personal email account, though this seems to have been remedied by v. 10.3.4341

  3. I changed the account icons to some bright, colored icons for my personal and business account so I have a bit of a visual clue as to which account I’m sending the new message from.

  4. I have made the sending error too many times, I check the sending email account before sending as practice.

Check out this Feature Request. Vote if you are so inclined for a means so that for certain recipients (a white list) are associated with an account, if you send from another account, eM client raises a warning. Visually differentiate E-Mail Accounts when composing messages
