Affecting the "From" address for ical invites

Does anyone know of any scripts that help adjust the "from" address for ical invites? I use 6 or so addresses for different purposes (almost all gmail), and it is helpful if I can send invites from a specific address which the intended recipient is used to seeing from me, else I risk it being sent to their junk inbox, and (gasp) appearing unprofessional.
Thanks.
Matthew

Hi Matthew,
There are six handlers in the applescript (all staring with "on send..." or 'on show..."). Find the fifth one.
The third to last line in the fifth handler is "send mymail". Replace this line with:
-- Altered to open notifications in Mail.app without sending
-- Original line quoted out below.
-- send mymail
set visible of mymail to true
activate
-- End Altered to open notifications
Save and close the applescript.
This modification has survived several updates in Tiger on my machine. I'd expect the transfer to Leopard will mean re-assessing it.

SharePoint 2013 Workflow - Change the From Address for an email

Hello
I am creating a SharePoint 2013 Workflow Manager Workflow to send out an email when a document is uploaded to a document library. I want to set the From address for the Email activity added to my Workflow. There is no option in Properties to change this.
This used to be done when creating a SharePoint 2010 workflow in Visual Studio 2012.
How can I add a From email address for my workflow?
Thanks
Yoshi

Having problems getting SPD 2013 installed on my laptop because of a trial of O365, but I know in SPD 2010 you could find the BCC fields, etc... in the Advanced properties, it wasn't directly available via the common interface. I know 2013 is very
different from 2010, and if I can get it to install correctly, I will update, but look for an advanced property, or an XML view where you can find the FROM: field.

Setting the From Address for Reply in Mail

I am having trouble setting the default “From” address for replies in Mail. When I click on “Reply” the new window opens with a default mail address I do not wish to use. This can be changes by going into the drop down box and setting a different one. This is time consuming and it is easy to send from an inappropriate address.
“Help” menu says that the default address ( top one in the drop down box) can be changed and gives these instructions:
Set the From address
Your messages are sent from the account of the currently selected mailbox. If you have multiple email accounts, you can specify a different account to use for sending all messages, or select an account just for the message you’re writing.
To specify the account to use for sending all messages, choose Mail > Preferences, click Composing, and then choose an account from the “Send new messages from” pop-up menu.
To specify an account just for the message you’re writing, click the From pop-up menu, and then choose an email address. To change the order in which addresses are listed in the pop-up menu, reorder the addresses in the “Email address” field in the Account Information pane of Mail account preferences.
When I open the Mail Account Preferences and go to Account Information there is no list of addresses in the “Email address” just the one for the particular account highlighted in the left column eg. “[email protected]” or “[email protected]” .
I tried to move the order of the accounts in the left hand box but nothing wants to move. Clicking and holding to push one account over another seems not to work.
Anyone got any ideas on how to fix this?
NB: This is about "Reply". Default for "New Message" is setting fine.

i found out how to do this finally!
1) set up google gmail account to forward your emails to (from the [email protected])
2) go to your gmail account
3) go to settings (cog in right hand corner)
4) go to 'accounts and import'
5) go to 'send mail as'
6) click 'Add another email address you own' - add your [email protected] address
7) google will send a verification email with code to that email address.
8) enter code
9) go back to gmail account >'send mail as' and select 'make default'
10) close mac 'mail' program and reopen it.
as long as you have gmail account selected as the primary account in MAIL - mail will now come throught as being sent from that [email protected] address!!

ICal not accessing the correct address for an attendee

Hi all,
I am entering attendees to an event I created.
I have checked in my Address Book and both attendees exist. However, both point to wrong people in my Address Book. For example, both attendees point to another person with the same first name in Address Book (Stephen to another Stephen and Brian to another Brian). I can't seem to make them point to their own card.
Can somebody please advise me on how to fix this. Thanks.

Hmm - this is embarrassing. PEBCAK.
In Address Book, I had entered the email address for my contact mistakenly in the phone number section. Thus, when I entered their name as an attendee to the iCal event, iCal could not send them an invite.
However, iCal displayed their name correctly - but it did not link to the correct card. This might be an issue for the iCal team. I know a card without an email address defeats the purpose of having them in the attendee list, but to prevent an incorrect card being linked with the name in the attendee list (since there was no email address to link to) a verification could be done with the actual name typed in under the attendee list and the name in the Address Book database. This way, an incorrect connection between attendee and Address Book card will not be made.

Choosing from which email address an ical invitation comes from

I have several email addresses and would like to choose each time from which email address my ical invitation comes from. Now it always comes from my work email address and I definitely do not want that. I went into my card in the address book and saw that my work email address was the top email address so I deleted that and entered it in again, hoping it would then be at the bottom but no, as soon as I saved my contact card the work email address sneaked up to the top.
How can I choose (without fiddling with the contact card) from which email address my ical invitation comes from?
Hope there is someone out there with a solution

I'm at work so I am not on my Mac but if memory serves me correctly, the email is sent from your default email address which is set in Apple Mail's preferences. Currently, I have my default send address set to "whichever account is selected".
So, in Mail if my MobileMe email address is selected, the invite is sent from MobileMe. If Gmail is selected, Gmail sends the invite.
Give that a try and see if it works.

Is there a way to prevent Robohelp WebHelp from appending characters to the end of the URL address for a TOC Entry?

I am running RoboHelp 10 on Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 64 bit OS.
WebHelp is appending characters to the end of the TOC entry's URL address. The characters "bc-n" where n is a number are being generated for all of the TOC Page Entries when I generate WebHelp output. We are exporting the HTML files for import into an application. The TOC Page Properties Link to: property does not contain the characters in RoboHelp.
We have standardized names defined for our application and the appended characters are not going to work in the application.
cid:[email protected]
When I use the generated html output in IE10 Version 10.0.9200.16635 Update Versions: 10.0.7 (KB2846071) the characters show up in the URL when I hover the mouse over the TOC entry as shown in the screenshot below.
cid:[email protected]
The two screenshots show that the Link to property does not have the characters "bc-7" but the URL address does.
Is there a setting or way to configure RoboHelp to prevent Robohelp WebHelp from generating and appending characters to the end of the URL address for TOC Entries?

I have never known Rh add any characters so I think something else is at play here. Please open one of the sample projects and see what happens there. Click Open on the RoboHelp Starter page and then click Samples in the ribbon on the left.

Have searched Forums for quite some time now. Cannot find a correct answer to: how do I prevent my old email address from appearing as the "from:" address

Have searched Forums for quite some time now. Cannot find a correct answer to: how do I prevent my old email address from appearing as the "from:" address when I use a "send this" link on a webpage/news article. The email window opens and automatically inserts my old Hotmail address instead of the Yahoo address I've used for a long time. (The drop-down won't let me change it or delete it.) Thanks.

Do you get a drop down list with suggestions if you clear that "from" field and click elsewhere on that page to move the focus off that field and then double-click again in that field or start typing the first letters of that unwanted email address?
Use these steps to remove saved (form) data from a drop down list:
#Click the (empty) input field on the web page to open the drop down list
#Highlight an entry in the drop down list
#Press the Delete key (on Mac: Shift+Delete) to remove it.

I am trying to setup a new Apple ID but it tells me the email address I want to us is in use even though I have deleted it as the secondary address for mother id

I Am trying to set up a new AppleID but it tells me the email address I wish to use as the ID is in use. It was the rescue address for another account but I have deleted that. What do I need to do to get it to recognise the email address as a new one. I cannot set up iCloud without an ID

Email addresses can only ever be used once in an Apple ID. They cannot be deleted from one Apple ID and moved to another.

How/can I change the "from" address in Mail?

I just upgraded to Mountain Lion, and have come across a problem.
I use iCloud for my mail account, but I want to change the "from" address - so the return address on my messages is NOT icloud.
I could do this in Lion.
In the mail account settings, there's an option that says "alias" and it lists (me)@mac.com, (me)@me.com and (me)@icloud.com, and then "custom" is an option.
Great!
So I choose Custom, and then I can type in the "from" address that I want.
However, when I go to save those changes, it tells me the SMTP server can't be left blank.
What?
It's not blank! I didn't touch it. The icloud server is still there!
Furthermore, it's greyed out, so even if it WERE blank, it's not like I can edit it!
Once this happens, the only fix is to delete the whole account from mail, and to disable mail in the icloud control panel, then re-add it.
Has anyone figured out to work around this?

Apple's outgoing mail server - just like 99.9% of all other SMTP servers, does not allow "relaying", meaning you use a domain in the 'sent from' address that is different from a domain hosted by the server. The simple reason is to make it harder for any spammer - not assuming you are one - to abuse the server. While bandwidth, server capacity and server load are some issues, the main fear for ISPs is to get blacklisted, and consequently mails from such server being refused by all others.
It's a general rule, and while exceptions might be technically possible, it would be a manual act which at a certain rate would become unmanageable.
If you want, read about the antonym, open mail relay servers, here.
You see, it's actually good behavior and absolutely in your interest to prevent you from using a "non-in-house" 'sent from' address.

Whenever I update my iPhone software, it asks me to sign in to iCloud with an old email address. My other devices all have the correct address. How can I get the correct address for my iPhone? The only Apple ID that works for logging in is my new one.

Whenever I update my iPhone software, it asks me to sign in to iCloud with an old email address. My other devices all have the correct address. How can I get the correct address for my iPhone? The only Apple ID that works for logging in is my new one.

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone (if you're using iOS 7), then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Adding a Contact Form, is it possible to change the FROM address in the header to the submitter's email address?

As it stands now the FROM address used is the site default (mine); using REPLY in the resulting email from the form should have the submitters email address not mine. I was able to switch this in the code (form-u1768.php) of an earlier version of MUSE. The PHP has changed in the current version (2014) and I'm not seeing how to pull off the same manual tweak. Any Ideas? Thanks!

I found this: Re: In adobe muse, how do you control the replyto address for a form? The site I'm working on is uploaded via FTP to another host. So, "...the email 'reply-to' header is filled in with the email address entered by whoever filled out the form, so you can hit 'reply' in your email software to reply to the form submitter." However, what if I want to take my chances on the form mail coming out of my site? Is there a tweak in the PHP that I can perform to change the FROM address to the same as REPLY-TO? Is there any reason this wouldn't work:
function get_email_headers($to_email, $form_email) {
$headers = 'From: ' . $form_email . PHP_EOL;
$headers .= 'Reply-To: ' . $form_email . PHP_EOL;
$headers .= 'X-Mailer: Adobe Muse CC 2014.1.6 with PHP' . PHP_EOL;
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8' . PHP_EOL;
return $headers;
...vs. the way it is coded by MUSE:
function get_email_headers($to_email, $form_email) {
$headers = 'From: ' . $to_email . PHP_EOL;
$headers .= 'Reply-To: ' . $form_email . PHP_EOL;
$headers .= 'X-Mailer: Adobe Muse CC 2014.1.6 with PHP' . PHP_EOL;
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8' . PHP_EOL;
return $headers;

I'm unable to add the email address for iMessage, that I was using before iOS 7 to my iPhone, because it says that it is "in use by another device," but I have no other devices. How do I resolve this so I can add this email address to my iPhone?

Sync your iPhone to iTunes, and see if that does the trick. Also you could try a Soft Reset with no Risk to Data. Holding down both the Sleep button and the Home button until the Apple logo appears and then waiting for the Reset to bring you iPhone back to the lock screen. Are you trying to add the email at Settings>Messages>Send and Receive from (2 Addresses) your iPhone number and your email address?

How to rewrite the from-address on the 5.2 messagingserver

We have recently upgraded our mail server from Netscape Messaging Server 4.15 (DS 4.11) to iPlanet Messaging Server 5.2 Patch 1 (including DS 5.2). Now we have the following problem:
With the old Netscape Messaging Server 4.15 it was possible to rewrite the from-address so the from-address would look like:
From: my_name <[email protected]>
The alias 'my_name' is the cn (common name) from the ldap attribute belonging to the emailaddress [email protected]
With our new messaging server 5.2 the from-section in the mail header is in the form of:
From: friendly name <[email protected]>
The value for 'friendly name' can be changed depending on what is filled in by the email client software.
Our question: Is it possible to rewrite the from-address on the 5.2 messagingserver to the same form as it was on the 4.15 messagingserver (using the cn instead of the friendly name which is filled in by the mailclient) , how can we do this?

There are a variety of rewrites available with 5.2, not quite as obvious as they were with 4.xx...
Most likely the easiest would be to create a
MailAlternateAddress for your user(s) that matches what you want to see. That'll rewrite the outbound.
