Reply-all to email moves recipients to Cc

When using the email client on my iPhone (iOS 8), whenever I reply to an email with 1 or more recipients on the To line, the email client automatically moves everyone but the last sender to the Cc folder.  This is undesirable behavior and I would like to know if there is a way to change this via settings.
More details / steps to reproduce:
I receive an email from PersonA, which was sent to PersonB, PersonC and myself (all on the To line of the mail)
I use the Reply-All button to reply to all
Expected behavior:  my email reply is sent to Persona, PersonB and PersonC (all of whom are on the To line).
Actual Observed behavior:  my email reply is sent to Persona on the To line, but PersonB and PersonC are moved to the Cc line.
Thank you.

Hello pefrat,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! I understand that when you “Reply All” to a message the additional recipients are moved to the "CC:" field. This is expected behavior in iOS as well as OS X Mail. Is there a reason you would rather have the recipients in the “To:” field as opposed to the “CC:” field?
If you want to manually move the recipient address from the "CC:" field to the "To:" field, you can absolutely do so. Just keep in mind that the end result is the same:

Change a recipient from Cc to Bcc. After you enter recipients, you can drag them from one field to another or change their order.
(This applies to the “To:” field as well)
Cheers,
Matt M.

  • OSX Mail : reply all - my email address is also in to/cc field

    When i receive an email, and i hit Reply All, my email address is also in the TO or CC field. There is nowhere an option to disable this behavior.
    I got this situation :
    TO : email addresses of friends and my email address
    FROM : my email address
    How can i solve this ?

    My Apple Mail app was doing the same thing. In my case I found a solution. It turns out that the email address that my coworkers were sending to was a duplicate email account with an alias. I added the alias to my current account settings by separating them with a comma. This allowed me to use only one account and kept my email address from showing up in the CC field when I hit "Reply All".
    Example 1:
    [email protected], [email protected]
    Example 2:
    [email protected], [email protected]
    Hope this helps

  • Mail "Reply All" and Bcc recipients

    If I reply to an email and use "Reply All", will the Bcc recipients from the original author of the email be included in my reply?
    I'm concerned that some people who I am not aware of may unintentionally receive my reply.
    Thanks for any help.

    Help please!!!
    I am a new AppleMail user with a directory that along with individual email addresses, also has a 30 basketball players list in one group.
    I tried to send out a blast to everyone asking if they are playing tomorrow? Everyone replies TO ALL with an "in" if they are playing, or "out" if they can not. That way everyone counts the amount of 'in's to see if we are playing or not.
    They all got the email fine,  but responded to me via email that there was no "reply to all" on my email blast.
    That is a big problem.
    I sent it from my directory, but it is like the system thinks that rather than having sent it to a group of thirty guys, it sent it to thirty persons individually. Perhaps it would not allow a 'reply to all' becuse of that.
    I then tried something different.
    As an experiment, I created a four person email group, dragged the group list icon to the address box for sending out emails, it accepted it, and I hit send.
    It went.
    My email was one of the four.
    I got it, and it showed a 'reply to all' (which worked as I replied to all and I got the reply) but the other three did not get it.
    So that clearly is not the answer.
    By the way, I have a MacBook Pro using Mac OSX verson 10.5.8 with a 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processing chip.
    Memory 4gb 1067 MHz DDR3 if any of that means anything to you all.
    Help!!!!

  • How to remove own email when replying all in mail

    When I hit Reply All in the Mail app, it automatically puts my own email in CC. How can I stop this?

    paulcb wrote:
    As expected, when I "Reply All" to emails sent to me, I'm not included in the CC.  I assume this is the scenario that the OP is referencing, except that he's included in the CC.  Perhaps he can explain in more detail.
    When I reply all, I AM included, but it disappears if I tap the CC/BCC field.

  • REPLY-ALL dropping my other email account

    Hi There - I have three mail accounts that I check with Apple Mail. One is a mailbox that I check sometimes because it belongs to my part-time project manager. If she is not working, I need to check it.
    If someone emails me and my Project Manager, and then I reply all, her email is removed. I assume it's because Apple Mail thinks I don't want to send an email to myself. But I do.
    I don't, however, want her on every email that I send out.
    Can this be changed?

    With such an email distribution list, when you Reply All, Mail will choose the account from the list that appears first in the list of account (when seen in the Sidebar or Preferences) as the From and will not copy the other email address also found in the Mail accounts.
    Not a way around, that I can find.

  • Mail transport rule to block email with recipients in 2 different domains

    Is it possible to set up a mail transport rule (Exchange 2007) to block or put on hold emails that are sent to recipients in more than one domain?
    Eg if the recipients /cc/bcc are 
    [email protected];[email protected] 
    then the email is held for approval before sending
    Can this be limited to only process from certain sending addresses?
    If it can't be done in 2007 can it be done in a later version or can it be done in a non microsoft product eg Postfix 
    This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

    Hi,
    From your description, you want to prohibit retired users from sending emails to
    [email protected] If I have misunderstood your concern, please let me know.
    In your case, these retired users are hosted on Exchange Online, this is Exchange 2013 forum. I would like to tell you how to achieve it on Exchange 2013.
    I recommend you verify it on Office 365 forum. For your convenience:
    https://community.office365.com/en-us/f/158.aspx
    What's more, I would like to clarify the following thing:
    If you prohibit A from sending email to B, B send an email to A and C, when A reply all this email, C still can receive this email, only A can't receive it.
    Hope my clarification is helpful.

  • Problem with Mail in Mountain Lion -- reply all function

    Ever since upgrading to Mountain Lion in Mail when I hit reply all my email address is included in the cc line, so I get sent my responses.  Any one else having this problem or know how to fix it?  This didn't happen in previous versions. 

    re: "like on my iMac, when it sleeps, it doesn't fetch email anymore like it did before Mountail Lion"
    First, this really should be in a seaparate thread.
    What is happening, just like my MBP, is that ML is *actually* sleeping properly. For as long as I used 10.7 on my MBP, it appered to be sleeping, but it really was not (screen black, etc.). And yes, mail would still come through.
    Now with ML, it sleeps like it is supposed to sleep, and mail is not received when asleep.
    Nothing wrong, no bug, just working properly now.

  • "Reply All" won't send, hangs in Outbox

    Motorola Razr M, Android version 4.1.2.
    Using the Email app that came with phone, Roadrunner Email, have used both Auto Detect and Manual to enter email settings. However, whenever I "Reply All" within email, the message gets caught in the Outbox and hangs. Troubleshooting - I have already: Deleted and reinstalled the Email Account a half-dozen times; I have restarted phone, turned off and back on, etc... This only occurs with "Reply All", "Reply" works fine.

    Anthony,
    Yes. I've tested with other email accounts, 2  gmail, Touchdown, and now the Aquamail patch I downloaded for use with  RR. I've also tested Reply All from my desktop using Outlook with the RR  account and it works fine. Additionally, I've tested it with RR using  their webmail site.
    While it does work with the  Aqualmail patch/app, I prefer to use the preinstalled email client,  though, so if it can be fixed, I'd certainly be grateful.

  • Reply all doesnt work

    Hello,
    When I click on 'reply all' my email only replies to the original sender, not everyone on the email. Is anyone else experiencing this? Please advise how to solve this issue.
    Many thanks

    Hi,
    I have the same need here.
    For instance, I have a background image (1920 x 1200) higher than the stage (1920 x 1080) so that those with 16:10 monitors don't get blank top and bottom.  Then, I have a rolling tractor that scrolls from left to right of the stage.  Those with 16:10 monitors get to see a flying tractor (scrolling higher than the bottom of the stage), instead of a rolling one.
    When running in full screen, we both can use Capabilities.screenResolutionX and Capabilities.screenResolutionY to determine the screen size and aspect ratio as well.
    Hope this helps!

  • Why are iPhone Email Recipients Not in Message Reply/Reply All?

    Trying to identify if there is a way to change the behavior of the iPhone when replying or replying all to an email.  With my Blackberry or Outlook when I reply it includes the following as a separator between my new message and the message I was replying to:
    From:
    Sent:
    To:
    Subject:
    These fields are auto-populated and have the information from the previous email I am replying to.  A good way to show who was on that email, the date it was sent, etc. especially when including folks that were not on the email originally in the reply.
    In the iPhone it only shows:
    On <Date>,"<Sender Name>" <Sender Email> wrote:
    As you can see it does not identify who else was on the email, the subject, etc.
    Is there a way to get the longer informatoin in-line in an email for iPhone?
    Thanks,

  • Swap "Reply All" To/CC recipients in Mail? "Followup" button?

    Many many times when I need to follow up on a multi-recipient email message, I find myself choosing "Reply All" and then manually swapping the contents of the To and CC recipient fields. The problem is that if I "Reply All" to something that I previously sent, the new message will have me listed in the To field, and everyone else in the CC field. While I could just send the messages like that, some people don't read carefully if they see they were only CC'd on a message. In many circumstances I want people to know that the follow-up was directed to them. I want the mail to be To them (again) and CC'd to me. To achieve that I now have to "Reply All", then "Select All" in each recipient field, and either drag to the other field w/ the mouse, or do a Copy/Paste, or some combination. I find myself doing that a lot.
    My Mail app fantasy (feature request) would be a "Followup" button that acts like "Reply All" except that it keeps the recipient fields the same as they were in the original mail.
    Short of this fantasy being realized, it would at least be nice to be able to hit "Reply All" and then select "Swap To/CC Recipients" (or some such) from an Applescript menu. I have tried (for years...) to write such a script, but there are some apparent bugs in Mail's Applescript interface that make it impossible to grab/set recipients in a "Reply All" message. OS release after OS release, this has not been fixed, and I cannot find an example of anyone doing it.
    Does anyone know of a solution or work-around? Can anyone demonstrate an Applescript that would swap the To/CC recipient contents in a "Reply All" message? Can't do it (that I can see) in Automator. Perhaps some keyboard macro software (e.g., QuicKeys X).
    Thanks in advance....

  • How to make Reply (all), to an email I sent, to be sent from same account as the original email?

    I have a number of Email accounts configured, all of them as pop mail. And, they are all configured to use the same Inbox and Send folders, Thrashbin etc. They are all correctly configured with the appropriate Sender and Reply to-address.
    My problem, has started occuring, I think, after I exchanged my default and some of my email accounts.
    Sometimes I need to reuse a message that I have sent, to fill in some details, or whatever.
    Typically I open an Email from the Sent folder, remove my own email from the distribution list, add some more text
    and resend the message to the original recipients.
    What I want, is for the new message to be sent from the same sender address as the original email.
    But, since I changed my default account, the new email created by opening an email from the Sent folder
    and clicking Reply or Reply all, now gets a different Sender and Reply to - address.
    And this means I have to remember to edit the Sender address.
    I seem to get this problem regardless of whether I do Forward, Reply or Reply all, to create a new Email from the old one I sent.
    This is really a nuisance since I keep forgetting to do this, and it takes extra time and effort for something that used to be quick and easy.
    How can I make Thunderbird include the correct Sender address, (the one that I sent the original email from) when doing this, without my having to change it manually each time?
    The address Thunderbird chooses is not even my Default email address, but the first account that appears after the Default account in the list of accounts, at least that is what it seems like. I have tried to find a way to reorder the accounts, but I have not been able to find that.
    Is there a way to reorder the accounts?
    Would it help if I recreated the accounts so the one I use as default becomes the oldest one? But that, would help only for the default account, and the other accounts would still have the same problem, I assume?
    I could live with this, since the default account is the default account for a reason.
    Would it help, if I separated the different accounts, into different folders?
    Or is there a setting to configure how Thunderbird does this, or even have it ask every time I create a new email from the Sent folder?
    Each one of the accounts, is configured with the appropriate smtp server settings, (probably irrelevant for this problem).

    Good suggestion. It gets rid of the "mailto:", but I have to remove the space after dragging the clip into the user name box. Interestingly, I can open the clip with TextWrangler, remove the space, and save it as a clip. However, the clip, as a clip, still has the space! When I open it again in TextWrangler, the space is gone, but still appears when I drag the clip or open it in the Finder. So not quite a cigar. But definitely useful.
    So the question remains, where is a clip's data stored? Is it editable? If so, how? If not, why not?

  • Reply-all removes my second pop account from recipients

    Hi All,
    I use Mail with two POP accounts (mine and my wife's). If somebody sends an email to both me and my wife, when I try to Reply-All, my wife's email address is strangely removed from the recipients.
    Same behavior if my wife does the reply-all, then my email address is stripped from the recipients list.
    Any option I may miss ?
    thanks for your help.

    Florian,
    You haven't missed anything -- it is a "feature" of Mail! Seriously, I have tested it, and sometimes I have seen it pick a second address (when two of my addresses are in the To) as the From when clicking on Reply on the same computer. The latter behavior is based upon the hierarchy of appear in the Sidebar, as best I can remember.

  • Reply All Inserts my Email

    When I reply all using my iphone it always includes my email address. I do not what to email myself. The setting to BCC myself is turned off and it adds my email address to the CC field.
    Any ideas on how to remove my email address from the CC field when reply all is selected

    One thing that might help out.
    When tapping reply all on an email in the iphone, it sets to reply to the sender and all recipients.
    In order to remove your email address, you would need to scroll up the message and remove your email address.
    Here is an article from the apple support website that might help out.

    Yes, Imap systems store all mail on the server, all connected clients are synchronized to the server (the mail itself stays on the server)
    ... regarding the POP accounts. Do you simply want the contents are or you planning on continued use of these accounts on the new machine?
    Continued use.
    Export each mailbox from the old machine to the desktop, to do so select a mailbox, rght click and choose Export, repeat for all others. Move the mailboxes to the new machine'sdesktop.
    I suggest setting up the new accounts before importing the mail from the old machine.
    In mail choose File>Import Mailboxes, choose the ones on the desktop (one at a time) a new mailbox will appear in Mail called Imported, you can move mail from there back to the correct mailbox in the POP accounts.
