Send via Email, Email Address/Account?
« on: August 03, 2009, 10:42:30 AM »
Hello,

Is there a way to tell PM what account from Outlook or what email address to send the emails from?

For example, right now my Outlook default email address is my work address, however, I want PM to use my photography email address. How do I change this?

There is no way to do that from within Photo Mechanic.

So, where is PM getting the information from to send out the email?

On Windows, Photo Mechanic uses an API called MAPI which communicates with the currently registered MAPI client.  The client email application does most of the work.  PM just sends it commands to set the subject, body, attachments, etc.  The client is responsible for sending the email.

I'd check to see if you can set your desired email account as the default email account...
