When I hit reply on the .Mac Mail site, an incorrect address is generatedW

When I'm using the mail program on the Internet .mac site, and hit reply to respond to a letter I received, inevitably the automatic address generated by the program won't function. The reply button puts the person's name and then e-mail address in brackets on the address line. When I hit the command to send, I receive a message that the address is not a valid e-mail address. Then I have to go back and erase the name and remove the brackets-then I am able to send the e-mail. Is everyone having this problem with mail on the .Mac site? I mean I am not typing in the e-mail address incorrectly. The program generates the return e-mail address when I hit reply and it is always incorrect because it puts the person's name as part of the e-mail. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks

Hi,
This happens to me when the person's name you are
replying to contains a comma and webmail tries to
send it to two people.
eg if a mail comes from SURNAME, FORENAME
<[email protected]> then I will get an
error as the program thinks that SURNAME is an
invalid address
but I get an error message every time. It brings up the person's name followed by the email address in brackets. Then when I try to send, I get the message that this is not a valid address. Is this happening with everyone on .Mac site? Surely not or they would fix it.

    I talked to our email provider and they say it has to do with the way thre recipients email address book has recorded the address. They say that they need to fix the address on their end.

    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time after  you had the problem. Select the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
    If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the entire contents of the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post any other kind of report — it will be very long and not helpful.

  • In iOS6 hitting "reply to all" in mail, my own adress gets included in the recipients -

    I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS6 yesterday and now whenever I hit "reply all" to an email it includes my email in the CC field.  Annoying, of course, because I get a new email, and it also adds me to the list of people in the thread. 
    Has anyone else seen this behaviour?  I can't find a setting that allows me to turn this off.  Defect or "feature"? 
    I would love to get this turned off, it's not killer but it's disrupting my rhythm using the phone for work.

    I'm having the same problem as well.  As for the part of it replying using the wrong account, it is discussed (though not solved) at https://discussions.apple.com/message/19050717
    Just to clarify, if I have the email address of [email protected] and [email protected], and I get an email from [email protected] which is sent to [email protected], and has [email protected] in the cc, if I hit "Reply All", the reply email is set up to go to [email protected] with [email protected] and [email protected] in the cc.  This is *WITHOUT* having the option to include myself in the cc set.  To make it worse, since [email protected] is my default account, this reply (even though it was sent to [email protected]) comes from [email protected]
    If I were to just hit "Reply" - and not "Reply All", the reply email will go to [email protected], but will be from [email protected] (again, the default account) - however, I am no longer included in the cc (because, again, I *don't* have the option to include myself in the cc set).
    It makes it pretty hard to manage emails...it used to "just work" - but not anymore.  Every time I reply, I need to remember to check the "from" field - and every time I reply all, I need to remember to remove myself from the list.
    BTW - This is the same behavior as the iOS Mail app as well - and has been since the very beginning.

    Where do these files reside?
    Is there a hidden Outbox??

    Did you check your user name and password in Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap your email account, tap SMTP, then tap the primary server name.  Make sure the settings there are correct.

  • My signature goes all funky when I hit reply. What could be the case?

    A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 15-20 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.

  • Unable to send or receive emails! When I first bought my Macbook I never paid for the mac mail. I have tried to find Mobile Me to no avail. What software program do I need to send emails??

    Hi all! I bought my macbook pro around two years ago. I currently have the Snow Leopard operating system. I have just clicked on Lion to upgrade however I am aware that the Mac Mail required you to pay for it? I click on the mail link and it does not work i.e. the send button is greyed out. Please advise?

    You don't need to pay anything extra for Apple Mail. You may need to pay extra money to Yahoo and/or Hotmail if you want to connect to them with a true e-mail client like Apple Mail. I would provide links for more information, but it appears to be not quite supported. I think it is a service for mobile applications that people on computers can connect to if they hack around a bit. Your ability to connect with Apple Mail depends on how much you want to hack around.
    The easiest solution would be to wait a few weeks until Apple rolls out iCloud. Then you will be able to sign up for that instead of the defunct MobileMe.

  • Email received by Windows Outlook crashes outlook when they hit reply

    I'm getting frustrated responses from the recipients of emails I send them from mac. mail. They say that when they hit reply their Outlook application crashes. If they copy and past the contents of my mail message into a new email and send that to me it works just fine. Is anybody else having issue or have a solution?

    Thanks Bob,
    Calibri is the default font, and is on Windows 7, not as default on XP, so i will invistigate that further. Thanks for that sometimes you miss the obvious!
    Microsoft update - they claim its an issue they are aware of. Their workaround - clean uninstall / reinstall Office and have users use Word to compose emails.. nice! An email client that you cannot compose emails in.
    Any more suggestions hugely appreciated.

  • Having trouble accessing AOL through the mac mail program

    Accessing mail from AOL through the Mac mail applicantion has never been a problem.  Now all of a sudden it is.  Software is up to date, tried working with Apple personnel, no luck.  Any suggestions?

    When you're in mail, if you click on window, and connection doctor, what does it tell you about your AOL account? If it's a green light status, your Apple mail is able to sign into AOL without issue. If it's red, and you double click on it, it should take you to the part of your profile that needs fixing.

  • When I am sending one message, mac mail shows sending several (6 last time), is it virus?

    when I am sending one message, mac mail shows sending several (6 last time), is it virus?
    mac mail also freezes from time to time and closes for no reason

    It is not a virus. It's a bug in Mail that fails to reset that count, so it keeps incrementing each time you send a message. When it says it's sending 6 messages, that really just means you're sending the 6th message since you last opened Mail.

    Your answer also taught me to be a little more persistent, as I had started looking at Preferences, and just didn't notice the icons (including Applications) at the top of that window that would have led me to my answer.
