Hi Cheryl, I think as of iOS 7 the location of the picker has changed. I don't use a braille display, but I I swipe it is now located after the message body field, i.e. you swipe past subject and past the message body field and then you should find it. I also seem to have to double tap twice, when I first compose a new message I double tap on "From" or the from email displayed, then I double tap again where it says "From" followed by my email address. Only after I do that the picker appears.
Hope this helps, Sieghard It is now -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Cheryl Homiak Sent: Wednesday, May 28, 2014 7:48 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: cannot change "from" field in mail on iphones No, unless I'm misunderstanding a step, this doesn't work for me. I am using a braille display so I'm not actually swiping. But while choices appear on my ipad, they don't on my iphones; no picker appears. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my redeemer.

Go to the from field, it will have an address selected already, double tap that, and you'll have a picker item. swipe up or down to select your address, and swipe to the left for a down button. Try that and see if that helps. Hope that works for you. it's a little nuts but it works. Thanks and take care. >> On May 28, 2014, at 9:32 AM, Cheryl Homiak <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> I know I must just be missing a setting somewhere but I can't figure this out. On my iPad in mail I can double-tap on the "from" field and then tap on ! from email address and choose another email address to send from. But despite the fact that I have the same email accounts on both my iphone 5 and 5S as on my iPad, I cannot change the "from" field on either iPhone. I'm not sure but which email address I am sending from seems to depend on which account I am in at the time or perhaps my icloud account is the default if I am in "all inboxes" but for some reason I don't seem to be able to change that field. My iphones and iPad are all running the latest iOS. Any ideas? >> >> -- >> Cheryl >> >> May the words of my mouth >> and the meditation of my heart >> be acceptable to You, Lord, >> my rock and my redeemer. >> (Psalm 19:14, HCSB) >> >> -- >> The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.
