Mail always being BCC to me

Every time I send an Email to someone I immediately get a copy of the email sent to me. The BCC setting is turned off and I don't have anything typed in the CC when I send the mail. I have already tried deleting the account from the iphone and starting it again but it still does it. Any Help getting it to stop would be great.

Here is an article from the apple support website that might help out.

Mail always being sent from first account

When I click "reply", my mail always goes out from my eathlink account, even if the original email came in on my website account. I have to manually change it, to have it go out from website account.
How can I set the default so all my mails now are sent from my web account automatically?
Thanks

Hello Mimi.
Have you created and are accessing your website email account as a separate email account in Mail or are you forwarding messages received by your website email account to your Earthlink email account?
If you are accessing your website email account as a separate email account in Mail, when hitting reply for a message received by your website email account, the website email account should be used by default as the sending email account.
With all Mail.app versions prior to Tiger Mail, there is not a default email account selection used when selecting New to compose a new message.
When selecting New to compose a new message with Jaguar or Panther Mail, the default email account used is based on the current mailbox selected in the Mailboxes drawer. If you have your website email account's Inbox or Sent mailbox selected in the mailboxes drawer when selecting New to compose a new message, the website email account will be chosen as the sending email account automatically.
When "In" or "Sent" or a user created "On My Mac" mailbox is selected in the mailboxes drawer (without an account's mailbox selected), the default account used when selecting New to compose a new message is the first account listed in the Account's pane or list at Mail > Preferences > Accounts. If you are accessing multiple/separate accounts in Mail, you can select/drag the chosen account in the Account's pane or list to the top of the list to be listed first.
Tiger Mail includes a default "Send new mail from" account selection preference when selecting New to compose a new message regardless which mailbox is selected in the Mailboxes drawer but when selecting reply or forward for a message received by an email account, the default account used is the account the message was received by.

Finally using SPAM quarantine and want to know how many e-mails are being released

We have two C660s and one M660 and we are finally using the SPAM quarantine functionality on the M660 and so far it has been awesome.   For my pilot group I have the spam thresholds set as low as recommended by the GUI at 50 (positive) and 25 (suspected)...   First off, if I change these numbers will I see noticiable differences in what is allowed through and what isn't?
My real question is, is there an easy way to see what mail is being released by users from the SPAM quarantine? Originally I had a content filter setup that was working..   but now it appears that when users are releasing e-mails from the quarantine it is skipping any type of content filtering.. From what I can tell, e-mails are still being routed from the M660 to one of the two C660s for delivery.. but in the mail logs I see information like:
Wed Aug 15 09:34:32 2012 Info: ISQ: Delivering MID 1592784 to ISQ (skipping work queue)
And in Message Tracking I see:
15 Aug 2012 09:32:23 (GMT -05:00)
Message 116381462 was released from Spam Quarantine, IP address 10.25.211.100.
15 Aug 2012 09:32:23 (GMT -05:00)

15 Aug 2012 09:32:23 (GMT -05:00)
(DCID 40556495) Delivery started for message 116381462 to

XXXXXXX = the IP address of our M660..

Appreciate any input/feedback...

Hello Jason,
one thing about the trhesholds, the defaults are 50/90 for suspected and positive spam, and that usually works for most customers, in some cases if still spam gets trough we suggest to modify that to 40/80, but you should not get any lower, as this will just increase the number of false positives. In general, the antispam engine delivers a value way above or below the thresholds, means scores are always either below 10 (no spam) or above 90 (spam), very few are inbetween this range, so usually the default setting works.
About the information of which user released a message, there is unfortunately no direct way to get this done. You might try this approach:
1. mail_logs: Look for the MID of the message when its getting injected to the SMA, note that this is not the same MID as in message tracking.
2. mail_logs: Look for the message getting released, and note the time stamp:
6 Aug 2012 13:29:21 (GMT) Start Message 10054459 ICID 0 release from Spam Quarantine
3. Do a
CLI: grep timestamp euqgui_logs
with the timestamp you retreived from the mail logs (just use the Day, hour, and minute part), this should get you the log lines for the particular minute, check them for the name of the user who was accessing the GUI at that time.
Hope that helps,
Andreas

Why is outbox not visible WHILE a mail is being sent?

When I am sending mail, the outbox is not visible.
The only time it appears is when there is a problem with the outgoing email and it gets 'stuck' - THEN I have an outbox.
Is there any way I can make the outbox remain visible, in case I have made a mistake, and wish to stop a mail from being sent after I have (accidentally or otherwise) clicked on 'send'?
I have a feeling that when I was running Tiger, the outbox was always visible.
I cannot remember what happened on Leopard. I am now on Snow Leopard.
thanks

Click on Window in the menubar while in Mail, and choose Activity. This will bring up a monitor with a Stop button. Several seconds is not long sometimes. Watch the monitor while trying to send -- take note of the time spent connecting to the server versus the time spent transmitting.

Mail app receive my mails always late comparing my iPhone mail app why ?

mail app on my new MBP haswell on mavericks receive my mails always late comparing my iPhone mail app why please ?

There are issues with Mavericks Mail but only for some people. Worst on Exchange, but remember this is not "push" mail. It will never be as fast as Active Sync push.
For $1.99 try Airmail app, see if it is any faster. For me it is faster. If you rely heavily on 'On My Mac' folders then Airmail needs another release (in Beta currently) to support them properly, otherwise it is a very good app..

After upgrading to Mavericks on my Mac Pro, mail always requires that I type in my password when launching. How do I change that?

After upgrading to Mavericks on my Mac Pro, mail always requires that I type in my password when launching. How do I change that?

If your password is accepted, and Mail connects to the account, but you're prompted for the password repeatedly, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Note: these steps don't apply if the server rejects the password. That's a different problem.
Step 1
When prompted for the password, check the box marked Remember this password in my keychain.
Step 2
Check that the keychain is working.
Step 3
Check that the default keychain is unlocked.

E-mail not being delivered - AGAIN!!!

This *****!!! You guys are really ruining my e-mail ability...since I do pay for this service!!! Stop blocking my e-mail! I'm really ******!!!!
This is the second week my e-mail has been rejected by the server and I've not been able to finish sending out my mail to people. I organize a class reunion. I e-mail about 200 people once a week. For some reason there was a change to a setting somewhere along the line and 2 weeks ago my mail stopped being delivered. I stated in my last contact that I would switch to a free service that would allow me to send my mail. I don't use all the .Mac services and I can get web space much cheaper.
Either fix this or consider me (a member for 4+ years) cancelled. I don't have time to write to you guys every week about this. Did I mention I was ******?

It's not like I am sending out huge files or something like that. See below.
This is what I am sending.

Parsing through your rant which isn't directed at Apple, it seems you might be exceeding the sending limits included with a .Mac account which are not extreme by any means so take a deep breath and calm down.
All internet service providers and email account providers (even free ones) have sending limits or restrictions for non-business/personal email accounts.
These restrictions are in place as part of an overall effort to prevent spam emanating from an ISP's or email account provider's domain. In case you aren't aware, spammers make use of bulk spam mailings and these restrictions make it more difficult for a spammer to do his thing.
It makes no difference that you aren't a spammer or the content of your message is not spam since there is no way an ISP or email account provider can make this determination when you send a message but they can impose sending limits or restrictions.
Copied from the following link.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25301
.Mac has several safeguards in place to ensure that only .Mac members send messages with the Mac.com outgoing mail server. Among them are reasonable limitations on:
* The number of messages that can be sent each day (200 messages)
* The number of recipients that can be sent to each day (400 recipients)
* The number of recipients a message can be addressed to at one time (100 recipients)
* The size of outgoing messages
There is also a 10 MB maximum size for messages sent or received using the .Mac mail system.
.Mac Email has been designed primarily for personal use. Sending unsolicited bulk email messages through the .Mac email server is prohibited.
If your message is being rejected by a recipient's incoming mail server, what is the return email error message provided which is sent by the recipient's incoming mail server?
Regardless, this problem is with the recipient's email account provider. If the return email error message from the recipient's incoming mail server indicates the recipient has exceeded their allocated server storage space, this the recipient's problem.
So instead of ranting, how about providing more detailed information about the error message provided so someone here can help narrow down where the problem lies so you can direct your efforts there.
IMO - since you use your .Mac account for email only, you should cancel your account but keep in mind that even a "free" service includes sending restrictions which may not be identical to .Mac account restrictions but none are restriction free.

How can you add an image in Mail without being an attachment?

How can you add an image in Mail without being an attachment?
In otherwords I'd like to put my logo in the email not as an attachment but as an image.
Is there a simpel solution to this problem?

You don't.
It's not possible. The e-mail protocol is designed for text; anything else has to go as an attachment.
Different mail clients (such as Mail.app, the mail client bundled with Mac OS X) may have different ways of handling such attachments, but they are still attachments. Each mail client has its own rules and methods, so one may display a picture as if it were in the body of the message, but another client may do something completely different.
A way of faking it is to format your message in HTML (which is a kind of text). The image is hosted on a remote server, not added to the message; instead, you include a link to it in the body of the message, as you would when building a web page. (This is also what the two tips helpfully provided by X423424X do, except that the link to the image is added in the signature, rather than the body of the message.) What exactly happens to it is, again, at the discretion of the mail client. In my case, for instance, displaying images in HTML messages is turned off, and will stay resolutely off.

I uploaded to Maverick and now my mail always cc's me on every email I send out. I have checked Preferences and the Composing Automatically CC button is unclicked. How can I stop this?

Sounds like your phone has the jitters.
This is sometimes caused when a DLL fle is missing when you restore, so the ipsw pacakge wasn't installed corectly.
You could back up and restore, but if it doesn't help go to http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/ and then download the same firmware your on.
Open up iTunes and hold Shift+Restore and select that firmware, you can't use anoy ther firmwares though.
Hope this helped

Sent Messages in Mail are being Stored in Drafts Folder

Hi,
This does not happen to every message only some, but it happens to really important messages - I'm a freelance writer and it happens when I'm sending a resume or talking to a client.
When I hit send, the message shows up in my sent mail as being sent, but it also remains stored in my drafts folder. Sometimes I send a message and it shows sent and then a day later, that same message is in my drafts folder. A couple of times, even though they ended up in my sent folder, the recipient did not receive the message. Sometimes they receive them sometimes they don't, but I never know.
Can someone explain this and help me resolve this issue? Has this happened to anyone else?
Thanks.
IMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Hi Staci.
If Mail put the message in Sent, that means
the outgoing (SMTP) server told Mail that the message
would be delivered. If the message never reached its
destination, it could be because the SMTP server
didn’t fulfill its promise or because the message was
filtered out by either the recipient’s incoming mail
server or the recipient’s mail client for some
(probably spam-related) reason.
The fact that Mail sometimes fails to remove the copy
of the message from Drafts after sending it is
a glitch that has nothing to do with whether the
message was received or not, and appears to happen
only with IMAP-type accounts configured to store
drafts on the server.
So what type of mail account is this (POP, IMAP,
.Mac)? If IMAP or .Mac, what are your Preferences
Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors > Drafts settings?
Hi,
I use .mac for email and I prior to writing, I checked my preferences and made sure to uncheck "store drafts on the server." I'll see how that goes. Thank you though for answering my question.

Thanks in advance.I should add when i set up account in outlook and hit test message that gets received ok . In additon I can send myself emails using outlook.

I suspect that you may have the same issue as

One solution may be to temporarily change your SMTP server to
smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk

Rules in Mail not being applied after Mavericks update

Hi everyone, I know there are a lot of threads already discussing similar issues, but so far I've been unable to find one that helps resolve my particular issue. Ever since upgrading to Mavericks my rules are not being applied in Mail. I will give you a screenshot of one of my rules:
I have about five rules that follow the same pattern: search for particular string in the FROM field and mark it with a color if the string is present. These rules all worked fine in Snow Leopard. All of my rules are still present after the upgrade and all checked as active. When I "select all" messages in my inbox and press Option-Cmd-L the rules are applied properly. However, the rules are not applying themselves when new mail comes in. As far as I can tell this does not have anything to do with the mail not being recognizes “as a new message” like, for example, because the mail was already read on my phone. It happens even if my other devices are offline and the only thing I am using to check mail is my laptop.
I am using a MacBook Pro 2.3 GHz Intel Core Duo with OS X 10.9.1, in case that matters.
Thanks for any advice!

I think I've found at least a partial solution to the Mail - Rules Don't Work problem:
In "Mail" go to the menu Mailbox and click on Rebuild.
If you have a lot of stuff, this will take several minutes to finish.
I also reviewed all my rules and made a few minor changes.
Mixed results: I found that running "Apply Rules" didn't work on email already received; but new mail did. I don't quite understand that, but I call it a partial success.

Why isn't e-mail author being displayed?

Why isn't e-mail author being displayed? It was a few days ago. In view/columns author is gray, unavailable. How do I get author do be displayed in inbox again? Thanks.

From what I've read, the Podcast App needs some refinement before it can be considered as a suitable replacement for the Podcast section within the Music App. As you have discovered, deleting the App allows you to revert back to the old method.
I'll save everyone the trouble of "reading between the lines" here; I don't use the Podcast App, but from what I've read, it's rubbish!
