Default Gmail ???

[Tat2]

I couldn't find an answer to this nor find the way to do it on the phone but I have multiple gmail accounts listed on my phone and when I go into gallery and choose a photo and wish to send it through the choice of gmail,....it won't allow me to choose which gmail account to send it from....How do I set a default account to send from?
I must not be seeing a way which is why I am asking, thanks for help.

Just did a little playing around...

It seems that which ever GMAIL account is currently "chosen" in the GMAIL app is the one gallery chooses to send with...

For example, when you open the GMAIL app, click MENU, then ACCOUNTS... Whichever account is selected and whose emails are being shown is the account which will be used when sending a picture through GALLERY

Hope this helps!

yes I just played around too and noticed what you mentioned but that's way too many steps and what one does not remember to choose which email to use in gmail app before even selecting a photo to send, then they could just be sending a photo to someone they don't want to know that email address. If that made sense lol.

For instance.....I have 5 email addresses and I am sending Billy Bob a photo of a pig and Billy Bob only knows one email address that I have and been using to send to him,....I could easily forget to choose that email address that he knows of and send the photo to him from another email address and Billy Bob thinks it is spam and does not accept the email message.

There has to be a better way to set one email address as a default sender or choose form a menu before sending out a pic or anything.

Android's handling of multiple email accounts does need to improve. Hopefully sooner than later.

Choosing email origin

Although it does work, it does have a couple extra steps compared to blackberry
It woul be nice to have a prompt built in to the share feature to ask for the origionating address and then when you compose from scratch,the current method is fine.
