Changing it affects nothing but what you see in the previous window. Check out the various account names I am using in the above window.
When you have what you like then click “Apply” then “OK” then “Close”
Another neat feature is “Rules. Found at “Tools”, “Message Rules”, “Mail”. Play with it you’ll figure it out. This is where I have my trash email address dump everything into the deleted folder.
