Mail sending email to wrong person

I am using MacMail 2.1 and have had 2 instances where it has automatically sent very private emails to the very wrong person. I have looked back in my sent history and the only adress that appears is the adress I intended to send the email to and yet, in both instances, somehow the email ended up in an unintended persons inbox. It is also important to note that it was sent to the same person both times, and this person was someone that I used to send very regular emails to(1 or more a day) but no longer do.
I have absolutely no idea why this is happening but really need to figure out how to fix it.
Thanks.

If it looks lke a forwarded message, it probably is, and then would have nothing to do with mail. If you can access the email that went to the wrong person's inbox, look at the long headers for that email to identify the sender. One possibility - (I'm assuming that the email went to the correct address and the wrong address) if the correct address is a PC user they may have a virus that wold account for the forwarding. Again, looking at the header of the mail after it arrived at the wrong destination would be helpful.
Have you checked with your ISP?

Prevent users from sending emails to wrong users

Hi
I was looking for a possible way of stopping users from sending emails to the wrong person.
Wonder if this can be achived by group policy or creating rules and alert.
What im actually looking for is when the user is about to send out the email they get a pop up message saying you about to send email to such person would you like to send now?
hoping there is some sort of a solution for these problem :)
cheers

Yes, some more details please.
The closest thing I can think of is (in Exchange 2010 - no available in 2003 or 2007) is Mailtips:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd297974.aspx
But I'm not sure that's quite what you're looking for.
And how could any software know if the person is the right person?
It would have to read the person's mind and realize they are about to make a mistake by sending the message to X instead of Y.
Please mark as helpful if you find my contribution useful or as an answer if it does answer your question. That will encourage me - and others - to take time out to help you.
Hi Le Pivert,
I can understand your opinion an outlook will have to be that smart to realize that the email is about to be sent to a wrong person.
What i was look for is something like a pop up notification when click on send it has a pop up message saying you are about to send this email click yes or no to cancel.
Something like when receiving emails outlook sends the notification.
I guess the above cant be achive through the outlook may have to be a third party software it there is any.
Cheers

I would look at these offerings if you are looking at Outlook Add-ins
http://www.slipstick.com/addins/auto-process/special-function-automatic-message-processing-tools/
If you thinking about server side solutions, Exchange has mailtips, hub transport rules, moderated groups etc... And of course 3rd party stuff is out there as well.

Can't send email from my personal pop3 account via my S5. Receives mail fine.

Hi,
I have an S5 that I use to receive email from my personal email account (supplied by Primelink). I can receive email fine, but can't send anything. My SMTP server is mail.wgtest.com using port 465. I am using K9 mail as my email app.
I was told by Primelink that it's a Verizon Wireless issue. Is there any way to respond to my emails from my phone? I can send via my hotmail account, but then my hotmail sent message folder gets filled up and the reply to address always shows up as my hotmail address, not the wgtest.com address.
How can I fix this problem?
Thanks in advance!
Spectre55

Thanks for the reply.
I have tried using three different email apps and keep getting the message that it can't connect to the server. I'm using the smtp address of mail.wgtest.com. As I said, I can receive fine, but Primelink told me that Verizon won't let me send from my primelink account through their system. They said I may have to use an smtp relaying service, which I've never heard of.

APPLE MAIL is sending emails from wrong address

Hello,
This question has probably been asked before, but I haven't been able to find it. Feel free to send me there with a link if it's helpful.
Here's my plight:
I use gmail IMAP and manage 2 email accounts through Apple Mail (5.2). One is the domain catch-all email, [email protected], and the other is my main personal account, [email protected] Usually, whichever mailbox I click on is the address from which my mail is sent. But recently, whenever I've sent mail from [email protected], the recipient has been seeing my personal address ([email protected]), rather than the Info address. But the address line still says "Info" and not my name, if that makes sense. Example:
NORMAL: FirstName LastName "<[email protected]>"; Info "<[email protected]">
NOW (PROBLEM): Info "<[email protected]>"
The replies to the mail I sent from Info are then sent to my personal account. I checked the mail preferences and the Info settings are the same as they've always been. It says the name is Info and the address is [email protected] I'm not sure why Apple Mail is suddenly thinking that the Info emails are coming from my personal account. Is this an Apple Mail issue, or a Gmail issue? Help! I don't want people to be receiving emails from my personal account when it should be from the Info account. Do I need to delete the entire Info mailbox from Apple Mail and start all over?
Thanks for your help!

Agreed. I had three gmail accounts, 2 business, one personal, but lately all my attempts to send mail from my personal account wound up being sent from Business instead, even after selecting which account to send it from.
I went into Preferences, Account info, then found all outgoing smtp servers simply called gmail but there were three in the list. It turned out that all my accounts were being directed to one server address.
If you drop down the Edit SMTP Server list, then select each account under Account Information you can see which server is dedicated to which account. Then you can edit the name of the related gmail server to the related account. So you can have gmail personal, gmail business 1, gmail business 2 etc.
Once you have the servers renamed (all the same actually but tells mail which account credentials to use), you can then select the appropriate server to match the right account under Preferences>Account Info front page.
Worked for me.

Hi,
How does the user fill the "To" field in a new message? If she fill it via auto-complete cache, please try to delete the auto-complete cache entry via clicking the "X" icon and then type the email address in the "To" filed. Send the email and check
if this issue continues.

Iphone sending emails from wrong address

My Iphone is sending emails from a gmail account I no longer wish to use. I cannot find any trace of these details on the phone, I have deleted and set up the one I want to use but it is still happening. I am missing important messages because I send them from the correct details but if people hit 'reply' they are sent to gmail. Soooooo annoying!

Reboot your iPhone. Then check Settings > Mail > Accounts and make sure the account you no long want to use is either turned off ( if you plan to use it again in the future) or deleted.

Mac Mail sends email okay, does not receive

For a few days, I have been unable to receive email to my Inbox (using Mail to check yahoo via IMAP). I have been able to send just fine (as verified by logging in at yahoo.com). After reading other people's notes, I have tried several things, such as taking offline, then back online. It seems I only have the problem with my Inbox (it appears that I am getting bulk mail just fine), but I could not "rebuild" the Inbox (under "Mailbox") as it is greyed out. I have also tried deleting the folders in my Mail library and starting over. It is building up all the other mailboxes now, but not the Inbox.
What could cause just the Inbox to stop working (and receiving messages) and how can I fix? Thank you.

Mail is sending email from wrong account.

Every time I send or reply to an email it sends from my wifes account. If people reply to it, it goes back to her account. when I compose a new email I use the drop down menu that says from: *******@me.com, I make sure its from my account and I send it. When it gets to the person its says its from my wife. I have look in the preferences and it is using selected account to send from. I have tried to force it to only send from my account but it always sends from my wifes account. Any Ideas?

Where is the "Reply to" in Mail preferences?
Not in Preferences. That usually works for a message-by-message basis.
With a message composition window open in Apple Mail make the following menu selection:
View > Reply-To Address Field.
If it's blank, fine.
It is possible to make it permanent via Terminal, someone would have had to do it at some stage; just wanted to ensure it was not fixed.
Do check the SMTP servers set for each account.

Campaign execution not send emails for contact persons

Hi All!
I'm facing a problem with Campaigns (communication medium - E-mail): Those are the steps i'm following:
1.Start the campaign, and on the "campaign: Schedule job" screen, i choose "immediately". If i look at the campaign details after scheduled the job, the status is now "job started".
2. To check wich mails were sent, I also had a look at the business partner account that belongs to the target group used. On the "Interaction History" block, there is a line: "Outgoing Email" - on the details of this outgoing email I can see the "To" (Receivers). And here, I have emails from the business Partner contact persons and from the business partner itself (the email that is on the header level of the business partner account, on the "main address and communication data" area). So far so good. That's exactly what i need but,
3. If i go to the tcode, i only have a send request for the business partner itself and none for his contact persons (although those emails are on the "To" line for the interaction history).
I'm working on the Webclient UI, of the CRM 7.0
Does someone knows why the emails are not being sent also for the contact persons?
Thanks in advance.

I have achieved this by implementing the BADI : CRM_MKT_ADR_SEARCH
In this BADI's method : CHANGE_SEARCH_RESULTS you can modify the data which is being sent back to system for campaign execution.
NOTE: I am using Address Independent Communication Data of Business Partner

Sent message from Mac Mail work email shows my personal gmail account as Mail to: and account summary shows outgoing mail server as smtp.google while incoming shows imap.google

sent email from work through Mac Mail shows to the sender Mail to: (personal gmail). Account summary shows smtp.google on outgoing server and imap.google on incoming

Is there a way to add this automatically?
For a semi-permanent change, the Sending Server is named as "OutGoing Mail Server SMTP" on the Preference pane for each Mail Account.
To change its specifics, move the mouse cursor over it and choose "Edit SMTP Server List" from the drop-down Menu. Then choose the SMTP Server you wish to inspect/change and its information will be shown. If using similar ones for two different email accounts, change the description field, e.g., change "gmail" to "gmail (work)".
