Shortcut for a specific Mail frome

Questions & Suggestions

You can do this without a macro, using System Setting's "Keyboard Shortcuts". Click on "App Shortcuts", then click the "+" button. In the dialog that appears:

  1. Set Application to Mail
  2. Set the Menu title exactly as the "From" pop-up menu item shows it, remembering that the "-" is an em-dash (⌥-). For example My Name – m.name@example.com
  3. Set the "Keyboard shortcut" to something that doesn't clash with others in Mail -- perhaps ⌃S in this case?
  4. Click "Done", then "Done", then Quit System Settings

And you should be good -- make a new email in Mail, hit your shortcut key, and the correct account should be selected.
