Mail Contact Resolves to Wrong Address

Hello, I have a user that is sending a message to a email address and something is resolving the email address to the wrong address.
First of all, the email address in question is a mail contact on our system and is in the GAB. The SMTP email address of this mail contact is correct in both AD and the GAB.
Secondly, the users' Outlook has all invalid autocomplete entries removed for this email address. The user
does have the recipient save in his Outlook Contacts but does not have an email address listed there, just his name and phone number.
So, what it looks like is happening is that the user is typing in the correct email address in the TO: field, but when he sends the message something
is resolving to this other email address, an address that is not defined anyway.
Any ideas? Exchange 2010/Outlook 2010

Hi,
Thanks for your sharing.
It's great to hear the good news.

Is there a way to copy e-mail contacts from PC to address book on IMac without manually putting in each address?

I am trying to copy my e-mail contacts from my hotmail account to my address book on the Imac. I have copied all contacts to a thumb drive (zip drive) to transfer to the address book, however, I can not find any information on how to copy from thumb drive to address book. Is there a better way to do this?

Addressbook will understand vCard file format.

Adjusting reply to for Mail contact to an existing address.

Hi all, would very much appreciate any advice on the following.
I have a mailbox forwarding mail to an external service (setup as a contact ) , the service then sends it back, I'd like the reply to address to be the original mailbox.
Example
I email [email protected], this then forwards to [email protected] which sends a response to me, but I want to see this in my outlook inbox, and reply-to as [email protected] (so no one knows there is an external service in the mix)
I cannot set the reply to email of [email protected] to [email protected] as this is already in use - Is there any way I can force this?
Many thanks

Hi,
There is no Reply As permission in Exchange server.
As a workaround, I think we can create a mail user for [email protected] then set
Send As (not reply as) permission to this mail user for mailbox
[email protected]:
1. Create a Mail User:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124381(v=exchg.141).aspx
2. set Send As permission:
Add-ADPermission "[email protected]" -User MailUser -Extendedrights "Send As"
Then the mail user can select From field to
[email protected] to send message to others.
Hope it helps.

Delivery failures when sending to mail contacts in O365

We are in the middle of a migration from Domino to Exchange (O365) and have updated the GAL with entries from our local active directory. These entries include email addresses using only a few of the domains that are hosted by our Domino
environment - but not all.
People who have been migrated to Exchange receive delivery failures when replying to an email from someone who is still in Domino.
Example:
User Bob who has been migrated to O365 gets an email from User Ann who is still in Domino. When User Bob does a reply, User Ann's address populates with
User_Ann AT MAINDOMINODOMAIN dot com (Please note - the @ signe was substitued with AT and the .com was substitued with dot com) because I got an error when trying to submit this. Error - Body text cannot contain images or links until we are bable
to verify your account.)
User Ann is defined in the O365 GAL as a mail contact with these email addresses:
User_Ann AT dominodomain1 dot com
User_Ann AT dominodomain2 dot com
User_Ann AT dominodomain3 dot com
User Bob gets a delivery failure.
Why?

Hi,
In order to resolve the problem more efficiently, I recommend you ask your question in the Exchange Online (Office 365) Forum. You might get a better answer in the Office 365 forum.

Every time one of my email addresses doesn't work on my mail app, due to wrong password or whatever, it deletes all of the contacts form my phone. What can I do to stop this from happening?

Every time one of my email addresses doesn't work on my mail app, due to wrong password or whatever, it deletes all of the contacts form my phone. What can I do to stop this from happening?
I have tried deleting the account and it deletes all my contacts. I have verizon and even using back up assistant, it says the contacts are there but they aren't. The only way i can find a contact is if I start to type a name in and new text but once i sent the new text, the name disappears and it just shows the number. Siri nor the address book don't recognize any contacts at all.

I cant find any reciept in my email or in my husbands email. I am going to attempt to call and speak to someone who can help me because this was not my fault except trying to be normal and update my phone!

I'm trying to reset my apple ID password but forgot my security questions. Apple are sending the confirmation e-mail to the wrong address, please help?

I'm trying to reset my apple ID password but forgot my security questions. Apple are sending the confirmation e-mail to the wrong address, please help?

Hello AndrewsAFCx,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
If you cannot remember your security questions for your Apple ID, I would recommend these steps outlined in the article named:
Apple ID: All about Apple ID security questions
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5665
What should I do if I don't remember the answers to my Apple ID security questions?
Try answering them at least once to see if you can get them right, even if you are not sure you remember the answers to your security questions.
If you are confident you can't remember them, try one of the following:
If you have three security questions and a rescue email address
sign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to send an email to your rescue email address to reset your security questions and answers.
If you have one security question and you know your Apple ID passwordsign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to reset your security question.
If you have one security question, but don't remember your Apple ID password
contact Apple Support for assistance. Learn more about creating a temporary support PIN to help Apple confirm your identity when you contact Apple Support.
Note: If you have forgotten your password and answer your security questions incorrectly too many times in a row, you will be unable to try to answer your security questions for a period of time. During that time you will not be able to reset your password and will not have access to your account.
All the best,
Sterling

Exchange 2013 mail contact in Active Directory missing SMTP email address but has a primary email address

Outlook 2010 Distribution Group contact member "Al" is not showing an email address. In Active Directory "Al" is showing an email address but it's not a SMTP email address that is created when you add a new Mail contact using EAC.
When the DG owner sends out an email using DG email account, the mail bounces back as undeliverable.
Exchange Admin Center is not showing the member. The only way to fix the member is by deleting the contact. Re-add contact in EAC then add to Distribution Group. We have over 30 DGs that are missing the SMTP email addresses.
Can a Powershell command fix this issue or is there a sync issue between AD and Exchange?

Hi,
From your description, the contact you specified should be contact not mail contact. Contact and mail contact are two different things. If you create a contact in ADUC, you need to mail-enable it and then set the primary SMTP address for it.
For more information, here is an article for your reference.

Difference between Accounts in Address Book and iCal vs Mail, Contacts and Calendars Accounts?

Trying to wrap my head around iCloud's capabilites right now.
In System Prefs, there is the Mail, Contacts and Calendars setting. In there, I can set up syncing with contacts and calendars via a Google account there. However, when I open up iCal (aka calendars) and Address Book (aka contacts), they ALSO have their own seemingly independent syncing options.
I'd ideally like to keep a copy of my contacts and calendars synced through Google and iCloud.
What is the optimal way to do this?
Thanks in advance...

A) Contacts)
1. Open www.icloud.com
2. Open Contacts
3. Mark All Contacts > CMD + A
4. Click on the small icon in the lower left corner
5. Choose Export vCard...
6. Open your "Address Book" on your Mac and choose "File > Import"
B) Calendar)
At the moment there is no option to download/export all the data, but you could share the calendar back to your Mac by opening the www.icloud.com website, then...
2. Open Calendar
3. Click the samll "Share" button behind the name of every calendar and share it with your account.
or
Add your wife's account just temporary on your Mac (Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account), then
2. Open "Calendar" on your Mac
3. Wait until it finished synchronizing all the of her events
3. Mark the Calendar by clicking on the name of your wife's calendar
4. Open the menu "File > Export" + safe the file on your desktop
5. Delete your wife's account again in Settings
6. Open the calendar again
7. Open the menu "File > Import" + choose the file from your desktop
8. Choose your preferred calendar

How can I change or delete primary SMTP address of mail contacts?

By mistake, one of our Admin has applied default email address policy (we can say test.ad) for all
recipient. There were 15000 mail contacts from different domains or companies. Policy has been applied to all those. How can i revert to old or delete the primary SMTP (test.ad) in one command.<o:p></o:p>

Hello, I am running Mac OS X 10.9.3. Someone has been pestering me with unwanted e-mail. There used to be a feature that allowed one to "bounce" unwanted mail back to the sender, a message saying they have reached a wrong address. How do I do that now? TY

It is not available in Mail any longer (for quite a while, now).
You can add a rule to have Mail mark them as junk, or you could possibly log onto your Email provider's web site and block that address.

Unable to create or edit AD (mail) contacts in address book

Hi!
I recently imported quite a list of contacts from an old CRM application into Exchange. All entries are nicely created in domain.local\company\location\Contacts. All fields are visible in Outlook under All Address Lists\All Contacts.
As we have a small company, just a few users, I want to give most of them the rights to create and update entries in the All Contacts folder, just as they were used to in the old app.
I started by creating role groups following this article:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/rmilne/archive/2013/08/07/creating-rbac-role-to-delegate-contact-management.aspx
I created an Admin Role group named Contact Administration, which contains the required Members, and I assigned two role groups to this group: Contact_Management, which is based on the Mail Recipient Creation parent group, and Contact_Management_2,
which is based on the Mail Recipient parent group. The Write Scope is: domain.local\company\location\Contacts.
Because this didn't result in anyone being able to update the contacts, I also created a group in Active Directory and delegated control on the contacts OU to this group, even though I think this doesn't add to the desired result (as it indeed didn't).
What am I missing here? Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Hi
As per the information and details provided by you, to create or edit a mail contact in address book, please follow these steps: -
Use the Shell to create a contact
This example creates mail contact for Debra Garcia in Exchange Server 2013
New-MailContact -Name "Debra Garcia" -ExternalEmailAddress [email protected] -OrganizationalUnit Users
This example creates a mail contact for Alan Shen in Exchange online.
New-MailContact -Name "Alan Shen" -ExternalEmailAddress [email protected]
3.     This example mail-enables an existing contact named Karen Toh in Exchange Server 2013.
Enable-MailContact -Identity "Karen Toh" -ExternalEmailAddress [email protected]
To add a contact: -
You can use the EAC to change selected properties for multiple mail contacts. When you select two or more mail contacts from the contacts lit in the EAC, the properties that can be bulk edited are displayed in the Details pane. When you change one of these properties, the change applies to all selected recipients.
When you bulk edit mail contacts, you can change the following properties areas: -
·        Contact Information: - Change shared properties such as street, postal code, and city name.
·        Organization: - Change shared properties such as department name, company name, and the manager that the selected mail contact or mail users report to.
I hope this information will be helpful for you.
Thanks and regards

Contact not displayed in address book but appears in mail merge list

Using Outlook 2013 to do a mail merge. Items in address book updated - some deleted, edited, etc. - appear correctly in Outlook. Using the import/export function in Outlook or the mail merge wizard in Word 2013 produce the same list of names - no deletes
or edits that were made in Outlook. Some items in Outlook were missing. I've tried adding them which appears to work but they do not show up in Outlook. Could there be 2 files?

Yes. I've deleted ALL contacts and resync'ed. I've deleted the number from both Google Contacts and the iPhone. I've tried adding just from Google Contacts and I've tried just adding on the iPhone. I've tried the number with the 1, without the 1, etc.

How to stop Mail grabbing wrong address?

Since doing one of the Snow Leopard updates (currently 10.6.7) Mac Mail on both our Macs occasionally pulls out a similar first or last name from our Address Books and switches the address already in the TO: field to that wrong address! Even when I double-check before hitting Send it frequently makes the change anyway and I only know when I look at the sent msg in my Sent Folder and it has the wrong email address. There must be a way to stop this.

What do you mean by already in the TO? If it is already there, it should not get changed. However, if you are typing it in, then stop on the first, correct one, and click on it. It will stay in the To.
It there are two valid addresses, with similar names, then you must be alert. However you also may want examine the Previous Recipients addresses (Windown/Previous Recipients) and remove any no longer valid or useful.
