Giving users control of their own distribution list control to add or remove external email addresses from their list

We are a Exchange 2010 SP3 shop, we have distribution groups (with over 200 email addresses ) from another email system which has only external email addresses (i.e [email protected] [email protected] and so on …..)
We want to import these groups into exchange. we called microsoft, they said create mail contacts for each address and put those in a Distribution Group. I know this will work.
Our goal is to have the user create / maintain / add / remove external their own email addresses (Not the IT department)
There must be many companies whose requirements match ours. Are there third party tools that would handle creation of distribution list?
Any constructive advice would be greatly appreciated ! THank you

I wouldn't give the ability to create contacts to everyone in the environment because it will become mess at some point of time and IT will have to jump to control it
anyway so why don’t from the start...
I would give this to certain people like Leads or Managers of the groups under certain IT Policy so it will be still under control and people
will think before asking their superior to create them and someone gets responsibility to manage these contacts...
Though here is the more specific article on how to delegate creating and editing contacts...

Why can't I copy contacts' email address from their name card in lync 2010

so here is the issue I have, when I need to copy someone's email addresses or their phone numbers, normally I will find them on lync, move the cursor on them, and their name card will show up, then I move cursor to their email address or their phone numbers,
right click it, there will be an option to "copy", right? but sometimes, right clicking doesn't work. that copy option just won't pop up, this issue happens randomly, I need to restart lync, then it will work again. Also, there is one thing
that's weird, after I restart lync, whatever I have copied in the clipboard will disappear, like if I press ctrl+c to copy something from word, then this issue happened, I restart lync, I can copy information in lync name card again, but all that
content I copied does not exist in clipboard anymore, I press ctrl+v, there is nothing coming out.
this is not a big problem, but it's really annoying, does anyone know why this issue happen and how to permanently? I tried to reinstall, does not work.
this issues happens with both lync 2010 32 bit on 32 bit win7 and lync 2010 64 bit on win7 64 bit.

Hi,
Please try to delete Lync user profile and information in registry.
The path of Lync user profile: <user profile>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Communicator\
The path of Lync information in registry: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Communicator\[email protected]
Please also make sure Lync client update to the latest version.

HT1694 how do I remove an email address from Mail that is not in my contacts list?

I have and E-mail address that comes up when I start typing an address into Mail when I create a new E-mail and this particular E-mails address is not associated with any of my Contacts.
How can I remove this E-mail address so it no longer appears?
Apple iPhone 4S iOS 5.1
thank you
Dave

You're welcome.
If that email address is your Apple ID, I don't believe you can delete it.
If you have your cell phone number selected as your Caller ID, when sending an iMessage it will be sent from your phone number.
Since your Apple ID email address is registered as well, if someone has your email address in their contacts, they can select your email address to send you an iMessage in addition to your phone number.
When this recipient says you are sometimes sending an iMessage via email, it is received as an email with the Mail app on their iPhone, not with the Messages app?

Try something this way
    call function 'SO_DLI_READ_API1'
      exporting
        dli_name                   = soid-objnam
        shared_dli                 = 'X'
      tables
        dli_entries                = i_distlist
      exceptions
        dli_not_exist              = 1
        operation_no_authorization = 2
        parameter_error            = 3
        x_error                    = 4
        others                     = 5.
    if sy-subrc <> 0.
    else.
      loop at i_distlist.
        if i_distlist-member_adr is initial.
          move i_distlist-member_nam to i_user-bapibname.
          call function 'BAPI_USER_GET_DETAIL'
            exporting
              username = i_user-bapibname
            importing
              address = wa_address

              return   = i_return.

Accessing a user email address from the database

Hi,
I really need help with the following.
I am adding functionality where users can set reminders that will then be sent to them by email when the reminder is due. I am going to utilise dbms_job to do this. My problem is that I am using apex authentication and users for the rest of the application and I need to retrieve the email address from apex. I cannot use wwv_flow_users as the email will be sent from a job in the database therefore there will be no current logged in user / workspace / session.
There must be some way of accessing an internal apex table / view or something that can tell me what the email addresses of my users are without being signed into an apex session.
Please help, this is quite urgent.
Thank you in advance.
Lee

Hi,
Glad to see that you've found.
However would be very interesting to know how to retrieve user list without being in an Apex workspace.
i would do as follows:
When the first user of the day log into apex you could update a static table containig the email (taken select into from www_flow_user once a day).
Then via a trigger you could start your batch proc, that needs updated email.
Is not clean at all, but probably if your firm isn't too big this approach could work.
By the way if you find how to retrieve the email not using www_flow_user, would be very nice to know.

Hello to all,

I have create one Distribution List which include email address from our company and external email address.
When i send from inside all works fine.
But when i send from outside the email received from inside users(email addresses of my domain) but never received from outside email addresses.
How can resolve this issue?

Someone is using my personal email address for their apple ID and I'm sick of it! I can't sign up for my own itunes account or anything using MY OWN email address. My email address is my property, not theirs.

Someone is using my personal email address for their apple ID and I'm sick of it! I can't sign up for my own itunes account or anything using MY OWN email address. My email address is my property, not theirs.
I'm using their account and will continue to reset their password and settings until they either get the message or Apple do something about it and disable or migrate their account so that I can use MY OWN email address for my own purposes.
I don't want to be informed about Apple products and services for someone else on my email account.
I want to be able to use it MYSELF for iTunes
All I am asking you to do is migrate their apple ID to their alternate email account settings and free up my email address so that:
A. I can use it and B. I stop getting messages about their account history.
Either that or just cancel their account as they have no right to use my personal details.
Yes I could set up a new email address but WHY THE **** should I? I've been using this email account for years for personal stuff, it's not mu fault if someone can sign it up as an AppleID without me being able to confirm their sign up process!
Your move Apple, make it count.

Hi Sister Kate,
If you change the Apple ID you are using on an iPhone or other iOS device, there are several places you need to change it on the device. See this article -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

If I have 2 tv's and each their own apple tv can I display the same program to them from my macbook at the same time?

If I have 2 tv's and each their own apple tv can I display the same program to them from my macbook at the same time?
for instance Keynote?

Welcome to the Apple community.
The Apple TV cannot display keynote presentations or websites from the computer. It can display them via mirroring from the iPad 2 or better or the iPhone 4S.
You cannot AirPlay to 2 Apple TV 2's at the same time from an iOS device. You can watch the same video, TV show or listen to the same music from your iTunes library on multiple Apple TV's at the same time.

When I use Thunderbird with Yahoo Groups, Google groups, and other email lists, I don't get a copy of my own emails back from the list (I do with Mail.app)...?

When I use Thunderbird with Yahoo Groups, Google groups, and other email lists, I don't get a copy of my own emails back from the list. I *do* when I use Mail, so it seems like a Thunderbird thing. I'd really like to see my own emails come back to me in the conversation so that I know where my remarks fall in the discussion; it's very disorienting when you can't tell if your email has arrived at the list, or not. I can't seem to find the setting, and I've searched thru your help topics, etc., to no avail. Thanks.

It's both gmail and mac.com email accounts, and it's all email lists -- including some privately hosted on servers, that are not Google groups, not Yahoo groups.
I'm not sure what you mean by "saving a copy of your messages yourself" in Mail -- if I email to the lists with Mail on my laptop or iPad, I can see it on my desktop computer too, right in line with other email messages in the thread, after the list resends the message I've submitted. It's only Thunderbird that this "invisible posts" behavior happens, and it didn't use to happen this way. I used to get my emails posting right in the thread.

How do I remove my email account from MBA? I am giving it to another to use.

How do I remove my email account from MacBook Air? I am giving it to another to use.

Are you giving it away temporarily or permanently?
If temporarily, you could delete the email account or remove the account's saved password and uncheck the account's enable this account option.
If permanently, you should create a new user account for the new owner, then delete your user account. You may also have to reinstall the version of OSX that was originally licensed to the Mac and remove any applicable applications that are not transferable.

Retrieve Users Email Address from Login

Hi,
I'm trying to get the users e-mail address from the login providers (EG. MS, Google, Facebook and Twitter) so that I can insert it into the database on the Mobile Services side. I have gone through various articles about getting their full name etc, but
there is no mention of email address?
I need it as I need a way to send emails back to the user. Is this possible and if so how?
Thanks very much
Regards,
Mauro

This is similar to the blog post Rafal points to but more aggregated. However you might not be able to receive the email as ip's might not provide that info. (Please mark this as aswereed if you find it usefull)

HT5624 Someone I don't know is using my email address as their Apple ID to sign and purchase apps ect and I keep getting notifications in my emails. How do I stop them from using my email address????????

Someone I don't know is using my email address as their Apple ID to sign and purchase apps ect and I keep getting notifications in my emails. How do I stop them from using my email address????????

If a person is using your email address, you should change your email password and make sure there aren't any forwards to some strange email address.
An example if you were using gmail, under account settings, a forward can be set up to send messages to another email address.
If your email address is say, you own domain, such as somename@somename dot com, make sure the forwards are forwards you set up.
If your email account was hacked and the bad guy has access, you need to cut him off, first by changing the password and second cut off any message forwarding to the bad guy if he set it up. Just changing the password would keep a bad guy out, but if the bad guy set up a forward, he will still get your email.
A confirmation from Apple would have come to your email address in order to confirm that Apple ID. If you are getting the other person's purchase notifications, you would have gotten a confirmation of that account from Apple.

Has anyone got a script to read a list of email addresses from a Mail message and put them into a group in Contacts?

Has anyone got a script to read a list of email addresses from a Mail message header and put them into a group in Contacts?

Now Tony, I know you can't hear my tone on a forum post but I was not complaining, simply stating facts . This change brought several people in my office to a grinding halt in a long established workflow that is really rather simple (and I thought was already assumed from the original post above ):
1) Select a set of records in FileMaker Pro 12 and export only their e-mail addresses as a CSV file.
2) Open that CSV file in Excel.
3) Copy the column of e-mail address.
4) paste into the appropriate recipient field in Mail.
5) Send
If I were to complain it would be about Apple's typically opaque approach to updates. There is no granular explanation of why changes were made or even "what" changes were made.
Complaining is futile since Apple is Apple and is unlikely to change, but sometimes it is cathartic to "shout into the void" .
I had thought about doing something with a formula in Excel and your suggestion was simple and helpful. Again, however, it is only a workaround for a long established helpful behavior that Apple has inexplicably broken/removed in Mavericks Mail.
I, and the other posters here, would love to have the capability back rather than have to add previously unneeded steps to our workflows.
Ultimately we may add scripting steps to the FileMaker side to export the address lists with commas inserted already if Apple ends up having permanently removed this feature.

Someone has been using my email address as their Apple ID

Hello,
Someone has been using MY email address as their Apple ID. When I started setting up my own Apple ID with my own email address, I eventually had to reset the associated password, thinking I had made this Apple ID earlier. Then when I logged into the account, it turned out to be someone else's account. Help, how do I fix this so I have my Apple ID associated with my email address and the other person knows to change their Apple ID email address?
Thanks!

I had this happen a few years ago. Someone created an iTunes account using one of my Gmail email addresses. I got the email to verify the account. I verified it, and then hit the forgot my password link. Reset the password and logged in. There I could see the ladies name, address and credit card. I changed it all to my name and removed the payment info and never entered my card number so they account could not be used.
Never had a problem again.
