Default email address when emailing

[TheChiefJaguar]

In settings, my default email address is the iCloud account I prefer, but when I share something via email it sends from my gmail account. It appears to be related to which address of my contact I’m sending to (if I send to my wife’s yahoo account it sends from my iCloud account, if I send to her gmail it sends from my gmail). Any thoughts?

Go to Settings → Mail, and then scroll to the bottom to see what is displayed as the “Default Account”. If it’s the Gmail account, change it to your iCloud account.

Like I said, the iCloud account is the default.

I can’t replicate the issue.

I can’t replicate the issue.

Could it be because her gmail account was originally created or saved to my gmail account?
If this is the case, how can I now save those gmail contacts to my iCloud account?

It shouldn’t matter.
And no clue, I’m not familiar enough with Gmail.

I used Contacts Sync for GoogleMail:

This may be off the subject, but I also came across this Apple support port:

How to make iCloud alias behave like a default email

Although not directly related to your issue, log into your iCloud account on the web, Mail > Settings > Preferences > Composing

And here you can set a default address, so you don't have to change you address each time you compose a mail.

I did this from my iCloud web account because I wanted to use an alias as my main iCloud account. Although I made the change not he web, the change also reflected on my iPhone. This may also work for you. I say take a look and see. Can't hurt.
