Gmail: Default “From” Mailing Address in Compose Mail

Question

My personal Gmail account also sends and receives mail through my work address, same set-up as this guy. When composing a NEW email, the default "From" address is my personal account. Is there any way to change the default to my business account?

Answer 1

Goto your mail settings, accounts and import and you see "Send mail as:" from all your eligible mail accounts. Click the "Make default" link next to your desired id.

If you don't see your preferred mail id then please follow this link
