How can I get Apple Mail to show recipient's full name AND email address

In Apple Mail v 6.3 (1503):
I am sending an email to a recipient listed in my Contacts. The recipient has 3 or more email addresses listed in Contacts. I want to send the email to some or all of the addresses.
As I start typing the guys name, the autocomplete feature gives me choices - ie.: In the TO: field and I select the first one, then the 2nd and so on.
However, what gets displayed in the TO: Box is this:
Bill Clinton <[email protected]>
Bill Clinton
Bill Clinton
Bill Clinton
So, it is not displaying the address between the < >.
so how can I get all three addresses to display like the first one which shows both the name of the guy (as listed in contacts "FIRST" "LAST") and then the actual email address).
For example I'd like it to show:
Bill Clinton <[email protected]>
Bill Clinton <[email protected]>
Bill Clinton <[email protected]
Bill Clinton <[email protected]>
Any direction in this regard would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not at my Mac to check, but try turning off Smart Addresses in the Viewing tab of Mail's Preferences.

how can i get apple mail to get gmail and pacbell mail?

Google has a support notice that may explain the problem here: http://support.google.com/mail/answer/82350?hl=en
Apple has a built-in method for setting up Gmail accounts that makes sure that they are set up properly.
Go to System Preferences under the Apple menu and select Mail, Contacts & Calendars. In the left-hand sidebar select the Add Account… item. In the main window select Gmail. Enter the information in the drop down sheet.
As for Pacbell I don't know what the proper settings are and could only find these from a third party so proceed with caution. http://www.emailserversettings.com/category/pacbell

How do I create a second account with my husband's name and email address?

My account works fine. I read about Profile Manager, but couldn't find it. I can find Account 1 with my name. I see Account 2 listed, but no name or email address even though I typed that information into some form along the way.

Assuming that you are happy to share Thunderbird, and be able to see each others' messages, then there's no need for the profile manager.
If you want to keep things separate, then it's better to set up separate user accounts in the operating system. Each of you would then have your own private space for data and settings, including each having your own Thunderbird profile.
So, your husband already has his own distinct email address and account, set up with an email provider?
In Thunderbird, you'd use '''File|New|Existing Mail Account…''' (in the traditional menu) or '''[≡]|New Message|Existing Mail Account…''' (with the Application Menu button) to add his account to Thunderbird. I think you may have already done this given that you say you have entered the email address (and its password?) already.
I think at this point a screenshot of Thunderbird may help us understand what you do and do not see.

Use Paint or similar to blot out any data you'd prefer not to share.

How can I get Apple to pay attention to improving spell check and grammar?

I love this company and the products they develop.   I am embarrassed at the number of Apple products that I have at this point. However, I have to say that the spelling and grammar check on Mac Mail is awful. I am a terrible speller, and am constantly forced to go to Google to find the correct spelling of a word that seems to totally confuse Apple spell check. But here is the thing, you often need only have one letter missing or incorrect for Mac's spell check to show no results.
For example: cannibalize.   Try spelling it with one "n" and the spell check will show NO results. Use two N's correctly, but replace the "i" with an "a" and again it is completely useless. Obviously, this is ridiculous. What good is a spell check that get's confused if you are one letter off of the correct spelling? There are thousands of these examples, and sadly, I seem to find them all.
Moreover, when it does have suggestions, they are in a ridiculous order as well.   If it suggest 5 or six words, it generally seems to suggest extremely long tail (rare) words first, and the have the most commonly used words listed last (or again, not at all).
Grammar is similarly awful.   It is the ONE area as far as I am concerned that is clearly better on Windows and Google Apps, and yet seems so basic these days. It's been around for 20 years for goodness sake.
I bring this up in the hopes that a truly motivated developer will fix core functionality.   In the meantime any tips for me (besides snarky advice about learning to spell).

I totally agree with you, I as well, cannot compose any complex messages in Mail, however I'm am stuck using a browser extension like "Gramercy" to assist me! Maybe after many replies Apple will address the issue

How can I get my mail (on Mountain Lion) not to store filed emails that are already stored on the server

I am having issues with my Mail. I am trying to find out how to keep my computer from storing mail that I have put into the servers folders. Many of my messages have large attachments, and to me, it seems to be eating up ALOT of space on my computer. I have ten folders that strore up to 2 gigs of old data each. I am afraid if i delet them from the mail( on my mac ) it will delete it in on my server. (Yahoo) I have looked quite a few places, to no avail.
Thanks for any suggestions

Yes, deleting messages with your Mac from IMAP folders will delete them from the IMAP server. That's how IMAP is supposed to work.
While not exactly what you requested, you might consider setting the account in question to cache messages but omit attachments. That's in the Advanced tab of Accounts inside Mail Preferences. You can even set it to "Don't keep copies of any messages," but then you can't read any message when not connected to the network.
You cannot set that option folder by folder, but you can set it account by account.

How can I get my POP account showing in the inbox it's supposed to show in?

Hi-Until a couple of weeks ago all mail received from my IMAP and POP accounts would show up in the correct mailboxes in my Mail inbox list. (Only problem then was that sent mail would never show up in the sent mail folder--always stayed in the inbox.)
Now a new problem has happened----unless I go directly to my charter cable account (P0P account) to retrieve any mail sent to that particular address, the mail goes unnoticed by Mail on my MAC and nothing shows up in the inbox. But--- If I do a test to myself , sending an email to the POP address from my IMAP account from my MAcMAil, my IMAP account will show the email in the inbox of the IMAP account I sent it from as if I'd mailed it to that account. How can I get my POP account showing in the Inbox? And, any suggestions for a fix to getting the "sent" mail to show in the "sent" folder would also be appreciated.
Thanks!

Yep! And if you absolutely need (or think you need) that functionality, it is worth every penny.
As Don already pointed out, exactly what the recipient sees will depend on how they've set up their machine and what unnecessary 3rd party apps they might've installed to display attachments the way they want.
In theory, that is true. In practice, Attachment Tamer will cause more of your messages to show up as plain-jane icons on the other end. The problem is, after all, people running Outlook 2003 and 2007. These people likely aren't doing many system modifications.
If I were you, I'd use the free solutions provided above, save my money and let my recipients decide how they will handle their mail.
I completely agree.

How can I get Mac mail to open winmail.dat attachments on lion 10.7.3

How can I get Mac mail to open letter attachments winmail.dat?? (Lion 10.7.3) Any help appreciated...

Sorry peterskine,
it's true in part. There's more then one article on the subject "Recipients receive a winmail.dat attachment":
http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/outlook-help/recipients-receive-a-winmail-dat- attachment-HA010153018.aspx?CTT=1
The odd thing is that my colleague and me use the same release mountain lion and we received the same email from someone on Outlook2007. He received the mail with the attachment, whilst I saw a "Winmail.dat". It already happened to me on snow-leopard, some month ago. Up til today I don't know what the difference between our machines is.
But it is interesting: the same OS, the same mail-clients (Apple Mail) and still different results.
Note: on my machine it used to work properly. It just suddenly happened that I started to receive winmail.dat files in stead of proper attachments.
When I have more time on hand, I cant try to find out why this happens.

Hi! Dwagner, once again ...
I've just got my Mac last friday ... i'm still getting amazed with this new world to me ... eehe .. quite different ... but
... "i can do it, i can do it" eheeh
i'm in that period that a new question appears at almost every mouse click ... lol
so ... can you help me (once again) ..
you said you had your hard drive with this settings...
"You can partition for OSX (extended Journal) - read/write by only OSX or read only by Windows via BootCamp
You can partition for Windows (NTFS) - readable by only Windows
OR - you can format with ex-FAT and this is read/write capable for both operating systems."
how did you formated the partition in NTFS ? ... on the mac? using the "disk utility" ? or did you use another program to do so ...?
i hope i'm not "bugging" you ... this might be a silly question for most of people ... but right now ... it's a major question for me ... ehehe
once again Obrigado (Thank You)
