When emailing a contact, the FROM address defaults to the address of the currently logged-in HL user, when it SHOULD default to the email address specified in Settings > Email Services for the account

When emailing a contact via the HL UI, the FROM email address should always default to the email address specified in that account's Setting > Email Services configuration. Failing to do so is irrational, as defaulting to sending FROM the email address assigned to the currently logged-in user means SMTP authentication will fail, except in rare instances where it just so happens the currently logged-in user has the exact same email address as the one specified in Settings > Email Services. This is particularly egregious when one has an Agency with many subaccounts, all of whom are for different users. Example: Say my name is Bob Smith, email bob@smith.com, and I log into my account as an Agency admin. I have subaccounts for different staff members: Jim Johnson, jim@johnson.com, and Kevin Nations, kevin@nations.com. Each one of these users wants to communicate with their contacts using their own email address, so SMTP auth for each account is of course set up to use their respective email address (and, of course, their address will be used 95% of the time, since they will be the ones using the account). Because HL is configured illogically in-regards contact email FROM settings, every time I go to a specific subaccount, and attempt to send a contact an email, HL defaults to sending from bob@smith.com, my email, instead of jim@johnson.com, the email configured in Settings > Email Services.. So every single email I send to a contact on Jim Johnson's account, I have to edit the FROM field every single time. And every other user has to do the exact same thing any time they access any other subaccount that isn't their own.

Merged in a post:
Responding to email goes into junk due to being sent from user's email instead of sub-account email domain

When replying via conversations tab via email it goes into junk since the email service (regardless of LC or mailgun) is sent from that domain...but it shows the users login email in the from section. ESP's see the difference and automatically put it into spam/junk folder.
Could we have it setup so when responding to email via conversations it sends from UserFirstname@sub-account email domain based on email settings please?
I have 99.7% deliverability and 0.03% spam delivery on my mailgun account...so it is setup correctly and is warmed.

It's pretty crazy that 2 years later and this isn't even "under review". This is a huge issue.

This is actually fixed I believe. Just set a header for ur custom domain. Just tested

Thomas Lancaster perhaps is something different then. Because what I mentioned above did work for me

Bruno Picinini, that works if you want every email from the account to come from that address. It overrides every other option you might set in a campaign/template/workflow.

I was banging my head against the wall trying to figure out why it is sending from my gmail... oh, yeah, I'm logging in GHL with my gmail. It makes absolutely no sense! GHL tech team - please fix this, there's no scenario where the current default setup makes sense.

this is basic email sofware functionality. I can't believe this is the case.

Absolutely agree with all this! Such a pain. I'd be happy if my log-in email could be different from the what automatically gets added as the sender (so I could add multiple emails, and assign them to different functions!).

Very Important and needed, from CRM standpoint, we need major improvements in 3 different areas.
1) User Management Hierarchy: https://ideas.gohighlevel.com/ad-reporting-and-attribution/p/share-contacts-not-conversation
2) Conversation Management email functionality to be more like a standard email UI
3) Email Marketing to be more automated based on Assigned Users : https://ideas.gohighlevel.com/email/p/default-from-name-and-email-address-should-be-the-assigned-user-for-all-outgoing
