Add outgoing email addresses to Address Book?

I don't think I'm imagining this, but didn't Address Book and Mail use to work together in such a way that the address in any outgoing email you sent was added to your Address Book?
I cannot find any preference or menu that allows this, although I wish it was an option.
When typing in the To: field, Mail obviously refers to some database of names I've written to in the past, as it responds immediately I start typing by listing everyone remotely similar to the letters I've typed. But to this day my Address book contains a grand total of just two addresses: my own, and Apple's.

Hello Martin.
I've been using the Mail.app exclusively since Jaguar was introduced, thru Panther and now Tiger and I don't recall an available preference setting to automatically add all message recipients to the Address Book.
The Mail.app stores all message recipients in the list of Previous Recipients in Mail which is stored in the Address Book database. The Mail.app autofill feature pulls from the Address Book contacts and the list of Previous Recipients.
At the Mail.app menu bar, go to Window and select Previous Recipients. A previous recipient already entered in the Address Book will have a vCard icon to the left of the name or email address. You can remove a previous recipient from the list or add a previous recipient to the Address Book that is not already entered.
Removing a previous recipient from the list has no effect on Address Book entries.

How can I add multiple email addresses to Address Book?

How can I add multiple email addresses to Address Book?
Can it be done from an .xlsx file?

I have tried that, but the system reads the emails as one long email and I can't find any way of separating them - it ignores spaces, colons and I have also tried putting them through a word doc... still does not work. It works perfectly easily on a PC system!! ( I have just moved to a mac!)
any ideas would be good
thanks

How do I add multiple email addresses i have received (900) to my address book instead of doing it one by one?

Add multiple email addresses to address book

I'm trying to add 44 email addresses to a group I made in Address Book. I have the email addresses selected in Mail, but when I try to drag them over to Address Book, nothing happens. I know I can right-click and add those addresses to All Contacts in Address Book, but it just adds those 44 into my already huge list of contacts. It looks like I can only sort by firt name or last name, so just adding to All Contacts doesn't do me any good. My question is, is there a secret trick to getting a list of emails into a group in Address Book, or do I have to go through my list of 200+ contacts and manually add the 44 emails?
Thanks!

Hi Barbara,

Good luck with it!

How can I add a club membership email addresses without cluttering up my personal email address book?

I need to routinely correspond by email with members of a club I belong to. I want to store their addresses in a separate account that does not clutter up my personal email address book. Is this possible, and if so, please provide guidance on how to set it up. Thanks

Create a new address book for the club members.
In the Address Book window:
File - New - Address book

Thunderbird changes outgoing email address

Composing a new email:
In the "To" field I start to type an address. Thunderbird provides a drop-down of matches from my address book. I select one of the addresses. Thunderbird puts it into the "To" field. At this point, my cursor is still in the "To" field. Then I hit Enter to move to the next field, & Thunderbird changes the email address to a different address (a different address from my address book).
If I add a space after the email address before pressing Enter, Thunderbird leaves the email address as is.
Behavior is kind of random - address is not replaced all the time. Also, for a while Thunderbird will make one change - like always changing address X to address Y, then it will switch to another change - always replacing address Z with address W.
The replacement address is always one that is in the address book.
Also, Thunderbird randomly colors some outgoing email addresses as red, even though they are in my address book.

hi jbh01
The easiest method is to use the contacts sidebar as described in option 2.
But contacts do need to be in an Address Book.
However, if your issue is to reveal more TO fields, then you can drag the divider downwards. See image below.
If you write using Plain Text , there will be no Formatting Bar. If you use HTML formatting, then there will be a Formatting Bar.
In the image below there is a Formatting Bar between 'Subject' and the composing area. In the image below, I've indicated this with a red line.
Use mouse and hover over this line, the mouse should chnage to a double headed arrow. Left click and hold down to grab the line. Then move mouse downwards to move the line. It will reveal more TO fields.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

Add Sender to Address Book Category?

Does anyone know if you can set up a "rule" or something of that nature to the Add Sender to Address Book feature? I would like all of my contacts from my .me email to be saved in a preset category in my Address Book.

Take a look at Andreas Amann's Mailscripts. His add to address book script instructions:
"Select all messages you want to use for creating the mailing list (for creating a mailing list, you would choose all messages in a mailbox which contains all messages on a certain topic).
Run the script and you get a list with all addresses contained in the selected messages - mark all the addresses you want to add to the Address Book using the checkboxes.
From the popup menu, choose which group you want to update with the selected addresses or select "Create new Group..." and enter the name for the new group to be created.
The script checks whether an address is already present before adding it to the Address Book in order to avoid duplicate entries. If additional information is available for an entry already present in the Address Book (e.g., full name information for an entry which had prior been email-only), the entry will be updated."

Adding address to email address book

Is there a way to add email addresses:
1. From a previous address book in another mail program (Netscape)?
2. Without having to actually send an email to someone...or receive an email from them?
When I enter a name/email address into the BCC field, the recipients in the BCC field don't appear on _my own_ sent emails, so I can't add that email address to my address book because I can't SEE it! Mail is very limited in that respect. You apparently have to enter their email address in the TO or CC fields, and not in the BCC field, to be able to click on them and add them to your address book.
Is there _any other way_ to add them to my address book when the email I sent them has them listed in the BCC field? I don't want to list a bunch of people in CC or TO fields just so they will appear on the sent email for me to be able to click on their email address to add them to my address book. That's why I use the BCC field for a list of recipients. It's MY email anyway. Why can't I see them in the BCC field on _my own_ sent emails? It just doesn't make sense to me.
Thanks!

You need to understand that Address Book is a separate application; in Mail you can view and use the information maintained by the AB app. If you have an email address that you need to type in and will want to re-use, open AB and click the + at the bottom of the columns of names; you will get a blank contact card on which to type in details. If now in Mail you start a new message and start typing the new email or name the auto-fill feature will pull it from AB. From AB, if you click the label beside someone's email address the popup menu will include the option of sending them an email. Alternatively drag the icon for the contact card and drop it on the Mail icon in the dock. Or use the address book viewing features in Mail - you are spoilt for choice.
As for Netscape, if there is any sort of address book export facility it should be possible to do an import into OS X Address Book. Best is if Netscape supports the vCard format.

Resend your service books.
On OS 5.0 go to:
Options -> Advanced Options -> Host Routing Table -> Press your Menu Key -> Choose "Register Now"
It should say "Registration Message sent" and you should recieve a message from BlackBerry confirming that the device is registered on the BlackBerry network.
If you do not recieve a response, or get any other message when you choose Register Now, you may have a network provisioning issue and you need to call your wireless provider for them to perform a BIS check.

Undo 'add sender to address book' ?

Hi
I just accidentally added a whole load of people to my Address Book unintentionally
From Mail, I had a whole bunch of emails selected (100+) and chose 'Add sender to Address Book' by mistake (I intended just to add one of them).
So my question is this. How can I identify those contacts in my Address Book? 'Undo' was not available in Mail, and they don't appear to register in Address Book as 'last import'.
Is there a way of searching by date added?
TIA
James

There's no way to display contacts by date added. You could go to View > Last Import and this should display a new group called Last Import with details. not sure if 'Add to senders' are classed as an import tho.
If this doesn't work go to File > New Smart Group. In the pop up box for adding smart rules set the rule to Card has changed in 3 days and Ok this. You will now have a new group containing all the contacts that have been changed in the last 3 days which should include all the ones you are after. Just check there aren't any you need to keep before making any deletions.

Mail crashing when I try to add name to address book

Hi,
as of today, I'm no longer able to add names to my address book by clicking on the person's name in my email.
in the "from" field, I could click on that, and have a list of choices to add to my address book.
Now, when I click on that, it crashes my mail.
what can I do to fix this so it's working again?
Thanks,
Dave

If you can't get the exported .csv file to work you might consider using Migration Assistant: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2518, particular if you need to move more than just your contacts. There is some granularity in the options on what to transfer but I'm not sure if you can choose to just your migrate contacts.

Also in iCal, I cant seem to delete google calender event. I've seen several complaint also, is this fixed with a patch ?
Apple support, please help.

Hello ac9000 and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
If you were to create a contact in your BlackBerry, does it sync to your Mac Address Boook?
In your BlackBerry Address Book if you go to Menu>Options, under Contact lists do you have an email account listed? If so, if you click into it, does this list sync wirelessley to this email account?
As for your Calendar, if you open your iCal do you have any calendars listed?
If you create a new Calendar and make a test entry, does this new Calendar sync to your device? If you create a Calendar appointment on your BlackBerry, does it sync to your iCal?

Add another email address to "email" icon?!

My wife and I use iphoto; however, the email icon at the bottom automatically uses my email address. She would like to add her email address so that she can send pics from her account.
Is this possible?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Peter:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You would do that in Mail. Open Mail's Preferences and under accounts click on the "+" button in the bottom left hand corner. Then add your wife's information and complete adding her account.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.
