Auto-detect Contact Information in emails

Is there a particular way to format the contact information within an email so that all the fields will travel properly when adding as a new contact?
Usually if I format the info as follows, everything ends up in the right place, except for the name of the person.
FirstName LastName
Address
City, State Zip
[email protected]
Anyone know of a way to format it better, such as using tags that iOS recognizes?
Thanks,
Marc

How can I disable the Auto Recent Contact Group in email

The email app automatically selects a recent group of contacts instead of the primary contact. This is extremely frustrating and very strange, IMO. Why would the default be to list the group instead of the primary contact you are searching for first?
Example:
Compose New Email
Start typing a contacts name int eh To: field
the list Autopopulates with recently emailed groups before the main contact.
Is there a way to disable this "feature". I know I can "Remove from Recents" but this is actually very tedious.
Thanks!

If you only want to select from saved contacts, then tap the Plus ( + ) sign on the right of the address bar to bring up your actual contacts list instead of using this method.
You can still type a few letters into the search box at the top of the contact list to find your contact quickly.

In my email auto fill it lists addresses I haven't used in 2 years as "recent others". What causes this, the contact information for these people was deleted some time ago.

Mail, Window Menu, Previous Recipients.
Select the ones you don't want and delete them.
If you want to add them to contacts, click that button.

My iphone 4s is importing contact information from FB and my email account. When I pull up my contacts it only shows e-mail information and the phone numbers have disappeared. How do I get my old contact list back with the phone numbers?

My iphone 4s is importing contact information from FB and my e-mail account. When I try to look at my contact list it is showing everyone I have on those lists and it only shows their email addresses. The phone numbers for my contacts have disappeared and I don't know how to get them back.

Hi macmac57. I don't memorize my numbers anymore, so I know how important it is to have all your contacts on your phone at all times. Did an update occur or a new application download when your contacts disappeared? Have you been backing up your device with your computer? You can try to restore your contacts from your last backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Are you syncing your iPhone between multiple computers? This can sometimes create issues with your contacts. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1474
If you were already using iCloud to back up your contacts, check out http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3998 for some great tips from Apple.
I do hope this has been helpful for you to restore your contacts.

Emails and contacts information is missing

I changed computers today and logged into Verizon to set up Outlook Express on the new machine. all of my old emails are gone; as are my contact information. it had old stuff saved from three years ago but nothing recent. Help? how do i retreive my messages and contact info now?

Anything in Outlook is stored on the individual computer. It will not be stored on the website anywhere. You would need to Export all your emails and contacts from your old computers outlook program. Then take the file it creates and Import them to your new computers Outlook.

When I view emails on my Iphone, I can see the senders phone number. How can I ensure other recipients cannot view my contact information?

I have upgraded to the IOS 8.1 on my Iphone 4S. I recently noticed while I check my emails I can see read the senders phone number. There is even a prompt to add their contact information unto my phone. Is there a way in which I can block my contact information from others?

As simply as I can manage this is the idea behind phone numbers and emails in iMessage. All of this is example only. Apply it to your personal situation. iPhones have phone sevice, iPads do not. Both can use iMessage but how if the iPad has no phone number? Via email. So from your iPhone you want to send a message to your brother who has an iPad so you would send it to his email. Apple's server then takes the message and says "hey that dudes iPad is using this email for iMessage" and sends the message to the device. Your brother then sends a message back from his iPad to your phone number. Apples server then says "hey that dude is using this phone number on his iPhone we'll send it there, but wait that number is also being use for iMessage on that iMac (Messages OS X 10.8.2) lets send it there too". And you receive the message on both your iPhone and iMac. The benefit of setting an email to recieve iMessage on your iPhone is if you have an iPod touch or iPad (they recieve at email) that you want to recieve the messages along with the iPhone. With that your brother and his iPad would send a message to your email, instead of your phone number, and the iPod, iPad, iPhone, Mac or any other device you have that can use iMessage will recieve the message from your brother.

When install printer driver via Bonjour, what information OS/CUPS communicate with printer firmware to auto-detect and find correct PPD to install?

Hi guys,
We are developing printer driver/firmware for Mac OS X 10.5 and up. Right now we have problem that printer firmware fail to be auto detected by Mac OS 10.5 during installation via Bonjour. Could anyone teach me how the communication works between OS/CUPS and printer F/W during the installation via Bonjour? What kind information the two sides exchange?
Any input will be appreciated!

Sorry for the incorrect information. The OS should be Mac OS X 10.4 instead of 10.5

Can I use a calendar that will send confirmation emails and show the contacts information?

I need a calendar that will allow me to access my clients/contacts information and send a confirmation email to them

Go to Google calendar, grab the code and paste it in a html snippet.

Fax to Email using the Same DID (Auto Detect) Cisco 2911 GW

Have a Customer that is wanting a Call into a DID that will Auto Detect the Fax tone and email that particular fax User's Email address using the same DID as their phone.
The system we are installing is CUCM 10.X and CUC 10.X on a UCS C220. They have PRI's.
* For Unity Connection to do this, it requires a Fax Server as far as we know. We read that Cisco had a Feasable method Natively on CUC, but nothing real concrete as to the steps to get that working without a Fax Server.
* For an IOS gateway to perform Fax detection, there is a 9 Second Call Delay (Major inconvenience) that must process before delivering the call as either Voice or Fax. This would be for 90 user's, which could be an issue.
What would need to be done in the Gateway to get this working if we went the Native method?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

I've never done this natively in CUC. Here's a guide that covers how to do it with the Fax server integration if that helps:

Contact Work/Home Email Information Lost in Sync

Hi all,
At first I thought I was losing my mind, but I've been through it several times and can confirm that this is what i experience:
1) Go to the effort of categorising contacts' emails as either "home" or "work" on the iphone.
2) Syncing via iTunes (Windows XP Pro, Outlook 2003). Email addresses are synced.
3) The next time a sync is done, the addresses are retained, but all email addresses are flagged as "other" on the iPhone.
It's not a big problem, but annoying if you got the effort of doing it only to have the sync undo it!
I presume it's got something to do with Outlook storing emails as "email 1" email 2" etc?
Anyone know of a workaround?
Cheers

I lost a significant number of contact e-mail addresses due to this sync bug. The contacts had multiple email addresses listed (home and work at least) and after syncing I am left with one e-mail address per contact and that address is now flagged as "other" rather than work or home. This is really unacceptable functionality. I don't know how to store more than one email address per contact and maintain a sync'ed backup on my computer.
Steps to reproduce are as described by ScottMozz in the first post for this issue, but I wanted to add detail on how data was lost during the sync.

Why, after all these years, can't Thunderbird auto-detect character encoding

judging by all the existing messages and complaints about this, not to mention erroneous posts that say the problem is solved when it isn't, I have to conclude Mozilla either doesn't believe this is a problem or doesn't care to fix it. The bottom line is that there is no way to tell Thunderbird to automatically display emails in the character coding format they were written in. I could understand cases where the headers are not properly filled in, but I see tons of emails in which the encoding is plainly there in the headers within the message source. You can force it, but if you do so via the menu VIEW->Character Encoding->UTF8 (for example) it won't "stick" if you view another message. But who would want it to "stick" permanently anyway? What the average user really wants is to be able to toggle VIEW->Character Encoding->Auto Detect from its default "off" to simply "on", and not have to bother with it anymore.
This is a problem that seems to have gone on forever, and it NEVER happens with other email clients. If there is some backdoor way to actually make autodetect work, I'd appreciate knowing about it. But more important, I think ALL users would appreciate it if it were not some secret "backdoor" setting, but a simple global menu choice for all accounts. Can Mozilla please fix this problem once and for all?

You said...
''Thunderbird is supposed to be using the encoding in the mail.''
I figured is "should", i'm just reporting that it doesn't
You said...
''Setting auto detect to on disables that.''
Please explain. I've looked at every setting I can find and there is no way to set auto detect to "ON". I DID try setting it to "universal" in an attempt top solve the problem, but I have since restored it to "off", because the universal setting doesn't help.
you said...
''"Based on your earlier response I assume you need to press the F10 key to see the tools menu you were refered to." ''
No... I never said that anywhere. I DID refer to Menu->View_>Character Encoding, and I did refer to right clicking on individual folders, to get to the properties dialog, and the general information tab. But F-10 doesn't do anything
You said...
''I have examines dozens of mails in my inbox and each honours the character encoding set in the HTML''
Well, mine NEVER did. A short example from an email I got today pretty much is exemplative of all mail I get from GMAIL...

See those incidences pf "=C2=A0"? Each one displays as a strange character, a capitol A with a curved line over it. If I manually set my default encoding to UTF 8, the weird characters go away. If I leave it as Western, there is nothing I can do to tell Thunderbird to "auto detect".
Anyway, I suppose at this point that no one responsible for the product coding is seriously looking at my issue, which is why its never been solved. If anyone does intend to help track it down and solve it, I'll be happy to provide all the examples and screen shots they ask for. Otherwise.
