Apple Mail buggy recipient addresses
Is anyone experiencing the odd issue of Mac mail creating very obscure email addresses for recipients (in my case the most commonly used recipient)? My work associate's email auto fills with incredibly long and obscures addresses, sometime her name shows up but it's actually my email address. Most recently, this morning, I forwarded an email to her (auto fill her name appeared as I typed) but it actually went to me.
I know the trick of "remove from previous recipient list" but different addresses keep returning. This is an ongoing issue with my phone, desktop, and laptop:
iPhone 5
iMac 2012 - Yosemite
MacBook Pro - mid 2014
Yosemite
Google mail (custom domain)
Also, on this matter, it seem Google IMAP is not working properly with Yosemite. Anyone else experiencing this as well?

Problem with Apple Mail and comcast addresses
Sometimes Apple Mail will not let me send to comcast.net addresses, including my own. I get the message: "Cannot send message using the server smtp.comcast.net:[my e-mail address] All other e-mails sends and receives fine. I'm using 10.6.7. What to do?
Thanks, R. Actually, in the current instance, I realized the message would not send simply because it was addressed to an invalid address - I corrected the address and it went out fine, but I wish the program would have told me that was the problem instead of sending me on a wild goose chase about possible server or account setting problems.
I'm still not sure whether this was the case the previous time I had the problem, a day or so, when I was sending a message to multiple addresses (25 or so). There is little way for me to know which of those addresses is or may be invalid. -
Apple Mail "From Field" addresses are wrong, and cached
I couldn't find the "Mail" community in the list of communities - Safari, and other standard apps were listed, just not Mail. If this is problem is in the incorrect location, please let me know where to place it - Ta
Here is the problem . . .
When creating a new email in the "Mail" App, the drop down box for the "From:" field displays a lot of address - some of them are wrong, some of them are obsolete, and some I would like to edit (or delete and re-enter the information).
The menu item "Window -> Previous Recepients" does not have any of the offending addresses listed in the cache.
If I create a new mail account using "Mail -> Preferences...", the email address and other details from the new account show up in the "From:" field drop down box when composing a new email. If I delete that new account, and restart the Mail App, the "From:" field drop down box still contains the information from the now defunct account.
If I pick a different account, and edit the information contained therein - say the "Full Name:" field, that new information does not necessarily change - specifically, if a double quote - " - has been accidentally inserted, or the "Full Name:" field used double quotes in the style "My Name" <[email protected]> then the double quotes stay stuck around the Full Name, even after being removed from the account details in Mail Preferences.
My guess . . . a file stored somewhere on the disc is keeping track of this information similar to the Window -> Previous Recepients information. This information I know how to prune (delete undesired records).
How do I do the same thing for the "From:" field?Back up all data.
Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/MailRecents-v4.abcdmr
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Quit the application if it's running. Move the selected item to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Relaunch the application and test. If there's no change, quit again and put the item you moved back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Otherwise, delete the item you moved.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return. -
Apple Mail not sending with the selected from address
I have Apple Mail 6.2 on a MacBook Pro with ML 10.8.2.
I have sever email accounts set up.
I cannot get Apple Mail to properly use a given accout in the from.
No matter what from account I what Apple mail to be from, the received email shows one of the other not selected accounts.
So this means that the reciever replies to the wron & not intentded address.
Example:
I do an email in the [email protected] account & select [email protected] as the from address.
The reciever will see the email from another address in Apple mail like [email protected] that I did not select.
How do I get the Apple mail from email address to be the one I want the reciever to reply to?By associating each account with the correct smtp server.
You have 2 gmail accounts, so 2 gmail smtp connectors, set them correctly. -
How can I get Apple Mail to show recipient's full name AND email address
In Apple Mail v 6.3 (1503):
I am sending an email to a recipient listed in my Contacts. The recipient has 3 or more email addresses listed in Contacts. I want to send the email to some or all of the addresses.
As I start typing the guys name, the autocomplete feature gives me choices - ie.: In the TO: field and I select the first one, then the 2nd and so on.
However, what gets displayed in the TO: Box is this:
Bill Clinton <[email protected]>
Bill Clinton
Bill Clinton
Bill Clinton
So, it is not displaying the address between the < >.
so how can I get all three addresses to display like the first one which shows both the name of the guy (as listed in contacts "FIRST" "LAST") and then the actual email address).
For example I'd like it to show:
Bill Clinton <[email protected]>
Bill Clinton <[email protected]>
Bill Clinton <[email protected]
Bill Clinton <[email protected]>
Any direction in this regard would be greatly appreciated.I'm not at my Mac to check, but try turning off Smart Addresses in the Viewing tab of Mail's Preferences.

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.

My boss has a blackberry and when I send pdf attachments and copy him, he cannot see the attachments. I forget to make the email plain text before sending it to him. I can use Thunderbird as my client and it works fine but it is not linked to the other apps on my mac like Apple Mail. Can I make a rule or something for Mail so that when his email address is a recipient of the email, it will send as plain text to him?
I don't think so. Not without setting up an AppleScript and I am not proficient with those.
You can, however, set the follolwing in Mail > Preferences > Composing
Responding: Use the same message format as the original message.
But that would only be for responding to messages sent from his Blackberry. -
Getting "Cannot Send Mail - One of the Recipient Addresses was Invalid"
Mail was working fine under version 1. Upgraded my original iPhone to version 2 and couldn't send emails. Get "CANNOT SEND MAIL. ONE OF THE RECIPIENT ADDRESSES WAS INVALID. OK" message whenever I attempt to respond to an incoming email or when sending a new email. Sometimes "Sending" progress bar goes all the way to the end, but I still get this error message and mail is NOT sent. This is still the case after I upgraded to 2.02 HELP!
I have since removed the email account and added it again. I tried this several times and came to the realization that the Apple iPhone software was not setting the account up properly. I saved the account even though I was warned by the software that it was not working properly. I then went ahead and carefully edited all the settings and made sure that they matched EXACTLY with those in MS Outlook. I also set Authentication to Password on both incoming at outgoing servers.
I finally got it working. What a pain!! -
I have a Mac Pro using OSX 10.7.4. When using apple mail I click on the address icon to obtain email address and nothing happens. I've restarted both the application and the Mac but still won't open address book. Any ideas please.
Assuming you have these accounts set up in Mail, open preferences and under Accounts tab, edit the SMTP outgoing server list. Do you have a .mac address in the list? If so, delete it.
Are you using iCloud?
For the troubled account, select the correct SMTP server for that account in the box and check the box to use only that server with that account. -

Ashish ShahHi Ravi,
I have @ in all the email IDs in my code , but i have removed it from this post.
It seems SDN has implemented some new check - where in it checks for Email IDs in the post and gives error when any email ID is encountered.
Can you now spot anything else , which could be the cause for the status as Invalid receipient?

How can I use apple mail (linked to gmail) and get it to only do autofill on the contacts that I have in apple address book? Everytime I write an email on the Apple mail app (as well as in Gmail) it recommends a bunch of emails that are not my contacts. I want it to just autofill for the contacts that I have in my address book. Is this possible? Thank you. I have an Imac Intel version and an Iphone 5 phone.

Multiple Email Addresses in Apple Mail...HELP
Ok so I have finally set up apple mail with my gmail account but am having a minor issue...My hotmail email is forwarded to my gmail account, which is what I use in apple mail...So i receive all my mail through IMAP settings..Now, when I'm reading my mail through Apple mail, it tells me what email address it came from..My question is, when replying, i am able to pick my hotmail address in the "from" field from the drop down menu, but there is another box to the right of it with the "outgoing server" information...So when they receive my reply message it reads, From: Me ([email protected]) on behalf of ME ([email protected]) Is there a way to change this so it just shows the msn address and leaves out the gmail??
Izzy: Welcome to the discussion groups.
I understand that you have multiple From: addresses set up, all your email goes to your gmail account, and then to your Mac. When you reply to hotmail-received messages, you select (or rather it, Mail, selects-- I think that is the behavior I see) you hotmail address for the sender address, and when it goes through the gmail smtp server, it adds a comment indicating this to the header.
Even though some other email gateways might not do this, the information us almost always stored somewhere in the Received: headers? Gmail just calls it out.
There is no way around this except to add your hotmail account as another mail account and send hotmail via the hotmail smtp server... or find another smtp server that doesn't do this. (But, again, the information will usually be in the header fields.)

Apple mail address autocomplete
In Apple Mail it does the address autocomplete by the person's name. However, there are times when I know the person's domain, but can't remember their name. For example, I want to send an email to John Smith, but don't remember his name, but I do remember that his email address domain is at xyzcorp dot com. Is there a way for autocomplete to work if I type xyzcorp? I haven't been able to figure it out if it can, but it would seem weird to me that you can search like that in Contacts app, but not in Mail.
I don't think you understood my question. What I want to do is this... When composing a new email I would like to start typing xyz and have autocomplete suggest [email protected] along with any other person that has @xyz. That way, even if I forget John Smith's name, I can still "find" him by typing xyz. It appears that Mail only suggests names from Contacts based on the person's name.

Apple Mail: How do I add contacts to address book?
In the Apple Mail program, there is an option to add sender to address book. But when I do that, it just adds the sender to my address book, oftentimes without a name associated to the contact. So that contact could easily get lost.
I'd like to be able to add a sender from Apple Mail, then, at a later point, go to the address book and review who I've added, and edit their information.
Is there a way to add the sender to the address book, and have that contact added to a default folder within address book. That way I could later go back and review a bunch of contacts I've added at the same time. Thanks.Adding an address to Address Book opens Address Book so that you can edit the card before saving it. Is that not happening for you, or is that happening but you want to ignore it until you're ready to go add other information?
If the latter, you could always create a smart group in Address Book with the criteria "Name" "is not set". Then just go in now and then and add names to everything in that group. Of course, the problem with this technique is you may have to go back and find that address in Mail and refresh your memory as to who it belongs to. It would probably be quicker, overall, to just add the name at the time you're adding the contact. -
How do we transfer contacts and mails from apple mail and address book to Microsoft outlook on my mac
From Contacts, anyway (the new version of Address Book) you can export to a .abbu file and import then into Outlook. I'm not sure about Mail as I only really use Outlook...
