Adding address to email address book

Is there a way to add email addresses:
1. From a previous address book in another mail program (Netscape)?
2. Without having to actually send an email to someone...or receive an email from them?
When I enter a name/email address into the BCC field, the recipients in the BCC field don't appear on _my own_ sent emails, so I can't add that email address to my address book because I can't SEE it! Mail is very limited in that respect. You apparently have to enter their email address in the TO or CC fields, and not in the BCC field, to be able to click on them and add them to your address book.
Is there _any other way_ to add them to my address book when the email I sent them has them listed in the BCC field? I don't want to list a bunch of people in CC or TO fields just so they will appear on the sent email for me to be able to click on their email address to add them to my address book. That's why I use the BCC field for a list of recipients. It's MY email anyway. Why can't I see them in the BCC field on _my own_ sent emails? It just doesn't make sense to me.
Thanks!

You need to understand that Address Book is a separate application; in Mail you can view and use the information maintained by the AB app. If you have an email address that you need to type in and will want to re-use, open AB and click the + at the bottom of the columns of names; you will get a blank contact card on which to type in details. If now in Mail you start a new message and start typing the new email or name the auto-fill feature will pull it from AB. From AB, if you click the label beside someone's email address the popup menu will include the option of sending them an email. Alternatively drag the icon for the contact card and drop it on the Mail icon in the dock. Or use the address book viewing features in Mail - you are spoilt for choice.
As for Netscape, if there is any sort of address book export facility it should be possible to do an import into OS X Address Book. Best is if Netscape supports the vCard format.

How to change security questions after adding a second email address?

I'm at a loss and really really frustrated with Apple for the first time in my life.
I've added a second email address and tried over the last 3 days on my iPad and Mac to change my security questions. There is no option present that I can see that allows you to do this without first entering the answers. (to which I don't know anymore)
I called Apple support (even in english) and every time the call has been dropped.
In all the years since switching to Apple I've always been impressed with the level of customer service. This is the first time that I've felt this level of sincere frustration.
I'm not sure why I have to book a time to speak with someone. Updating or changing security questions, should be a process one can do over the internet. I'm confused either way why questions are necessary if the apple password entered was correct. It's not my bank account; why the need for such extreme security just to download an app paid for by an iTunes card!
Any help or direction would be appreciated!!
Thank you
Kate

Hello there, Kate.
Apologies for your frustration. For your security the existing questions need to be answered before new ones can be created. The following Knowledge Base article provides some additional steps to try if you are unsure of the answers to the existing ones:
Apple ID: All about Apple ID security questions
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5665
Specifically:
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.

Multiple apple IDs. Considering adding an icloud email address.

I've had my apple ID, which is my name, for MANY years. At some point, I was forced to change my apple ID to an email address. I changed it to a yahoo.com address, an email address I've had for ages. Now I have 2 apple IDs. When I do updates on my computer I often have to log into both because some programs were originally installed with my name only ID, and others later with my yahoo account ID.
I've always been confused about Icloud, because I cannot access all of the features because I don't have an @icloud, @mac, or @me email address. I'm considering adding an icloud email address, but am afraid of what the consequences might be. I have a completely different email address that I use for all of my regular email.
Will my name only apple ID change to [email protected]?
Will the apps that I originally downloaded with the nameonly ID know this?
What will happen on my ipad and iphone5?
will i need to set up another email account on my iphone so that my pictures will stream to photos?
Thanks for your help
Todd.

You can create an iCloud account using your existing Yahoo.com ID rather than creating a new ID. (You can use the other one because it has to be in the form of an email address and linked to a verifiable email account.) To do this you would go to System Preferences>iCloud and sign in with the ID to create the account, then check the data you want to sync with iCloud. When you check Mail, you will be prompted to create your @icloud.com email address. This is the email account that goes with your iCloud account, if you wish to use iCloud email. When you type the name you would like to use for this address, iCloud will search and tell you if it's already taken by someone else, in which case you will have to choose another. Type carefully, as once created, your @icloud.com address cannot be changed. Understand that your iCloud account ID will still be your @yahoo.com address. The @icloud.com address you choose is for email only.
None of this will effect your existing purchased media using your two Apple IDs. These will stay the same as purchases are permanently tied to the ID used to purchase them. Also, Apple will not merge IDs.

HT5312 what about if you have added a rescue email address and verifyed it and the forgot your security question thing still doesnt show because i dont no my security questions ???????????????????????

what about if you have added a rescue email address and verifyed it and the i forgot my security questions still doesnt show up and i dont no the answers !?!?!?!?!?!?!?! what do i do then because i dont want to phone up !?!?!?! please help !!??!?!?!

If you have just added an address to your account then it will be an alternate email address - a rescue email address can only be added by answering 2 of your questions. You will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get the questions reset.
e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down the page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use, or you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

I don't know my rescue email and security password.i just added an alternative email address but it doesn't send there....also I just added 25$ on iTunes.please help!

The reset link will only send reset info to your rescue email address, an alternate email address is not used for account security. If you don't know what your rescue email address is (you won't be able to view/change it until you can answer your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset.

You added an alternate email address to what? What reply are you expecting?

I cannot send email - error message as follows : 'The sender address (my email address) was rejected by the server smtp.tiscali.co.uk.' I can send email from other apple devices, and the email settings are identical. Any ideas?

For some reason I cannot send email - all was working fine, but now I get the following error message when I try to send email:
'The sender address (my email address) was rejected by the server smtp.tiscali.co.uk'
I can receive incoming mail ok and I can send email from other Apple devices. The problem seems confined to my Mac Book Pro.
Ant ideas?

Adding a Generic Email Address (Domain Name Only) to Address Book

Is it possible to set up a generic email address (like @google.com) in Apple address book?
I ask this because I have created a set of rules in Apple Mail to help filter out spam mail, and in my spam rules I check to see if the sender's email address is in my address book, in which case, I assume the incoming email is not spam.
Now, when it comes to companies and organizations that I have dealings with, what I would like to do is add a generic email address to my Apple address book, that covers the whole company.
By generic email address, I mean an address that comprises the domain name only: for example: if [email protected] is a specific email address, then the corresponding generic email address is @google.com.
This is so that if I receive an email from another department or another individual in the same company, such as from [email protected] or [email protected] say, then these emails will also be considered to be in my address book, and thus get through my spam mail rules as well.

GW is automatically adding an extra email address in contact

Has anyone found a solution to the following:
Our district offices have an alias as well as their GroupWise address. Go into a personal address book and create a contact with the alias email address rather than the GroupWise email address and then save the contact. You will find that the GroupWise address has been automatically entered and ticked as the preferred email address.
We would like to keep the alias as the preferred address.

Working as designed. And you *really* don't want to use aliases. They
are deprecated for may years, and also absolutely unnecessary.

Adding a new email address to iCal alarms

This is probably very simple: but how do I add a completely new email address to the alarms? Each time I try to add a new alarm, it gives me the options that are already created - and I need to add a whole new email address. Help, please!

dixiebelle,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Select (click) the "alarm" field in the event Info window, then choose "Email" from the drop down menu. Click and hold that selection, and you will then be presented with all of the email accounts which are listed in your Mail application, and your "My Card" in your Address Book application.

Adding a new email address to Mail

I recently decided to create a new email address to replace my old one. I contacted my provider and had them direct all new mail on the original email address to the new one. I changed my pop server setting on my MacBook Pro in Mail. But now I have two inboxes - one for each email address. Some emails are in the original email account, some in the new one. When I reply to an email it gives me the option to send it from either email address.
I just want one inbox and everything to point to the new email address. I just want to keep it very simple but don't want to lose any of my old emails either. Can anyone help me?

Yes, I am a new .mac subscriber. I have a main mac address: [email protected] and then have my old aol address ( [email protected]) mail 'shunted ?' into my new mac address.
My partner now needs an email address for his own online banking account. I'm looking for the easiest way to do this under my mac account.
Saved email folder was an option on the vertical pane under "Inbox" "Sent Mail" "Junk Mail." I used it to store important incoming emails.
Thanks so much for your time,
Raven
