Abstract

In embodiments of global email identity preferences, a default outgoing email address that is designated by a user is maintained at an email server. The user can also be associated with multiple email addresses that are correlated at the email server. When an outgoing email is received at the email server for delivery to a designated recipient, the outgoing email can be identified as being from one of the multiple email addresses that are associated with the user. A determination is made as to whether to update the outgoing email with the default outgoing email address that is associated with the user, such as if the outgoing email is received from an email client that does not allow user selection of a default client email address. The outgoing email is then routed to the designated recipient for display as being from the default outgoing email address.
