Automatic Mail bcc and reply-to address

I just finished transferring all my archived mail from several years from Netscape Mail 7.2 to OS X Mail 2.1. There are 2 features which I used in Netscape Mail that I am unable to duplicate in OS X Mail. Is there any way to do the following automatically for each outgoing message?
1. bcc a specific address other than myself
2. provide a reply-to address different than the ISP addressed used to send the mail
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
Bob

Pascal,
Thanks for the suggestions. Unfortunately, I was unable to get either of the two approaches mentioned in your HawkWings web site link to work.
The script approach didn't work because the link to "Cricket's web site" at mac.com is broken - the page is no longer available.
I also tried the Terminal command approach unsuccessfully. I carefully used the "defaults write com.apple.mail UserHeaders …" command to enter my desired Reply-To and Bcc addresses, and even verified that they had been accepted using the "defaults read …" command. After shutting down and restarting Mail, the new Reply-To and Bcc addresses did not show up. Ditto after restarting the OS and then Mail.
Any further suggestions?
Thanks, Bob

  • Yahoo! Mail Plus and Reply-to address

    I am a Yahoo! Mail Plus subscriber, and am able to send emails with various verified addresses, when using the Yahoo Mail Web interface.
    My account serves as a collection point for primary mail (which originally goes to a spam service, and in turn is redirected to Yahoo Mail), and some other redirects. I then can check all mail here, and reply with various Reply-to addresses, which are what the recipients see.
    But in iPhone Mail using the YahooMail set up, I am only able to specify the default yahoo address, which I never use as a visible "reply to" address.
    Does anyone have a fix or suggestion how to solve this?

    There's a setting in your "Mail" settings that says "show To:cc label". I have that turned ON.
    Now, when I go to an email, and reply to it, I can just Tap the "cc/bcc/from" field with my finger, and it suddenly expands the cc, bcc, and from fields onto their own lines.
    The "from" field is now editable.
    Touch it, and you get a nice list selection to send 'from' any of your configured email accounts.
    Does that work for you?

  • Creating BusinessPartner with both mail to and bill to address

    Hi,
    I am having problem creating a business partner with both mail to and bill to address. I want to create two instances (lines) in BPAddresses; one with mial to address and another with bioll to address. But I still get the error code -5002 with the message "Address is empty [OCRD: CardCode} line:1"
    Below is my code in C#:
    SAPbobsCOM.BusinessPartners bp = (SAPbobsCOM.BusinessPartners) conn.InternalConnection.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.oBusinessPartners);
                   bp.CardName = "Test Tester";

                        return;
    I would appreciate if anyone can help me with this problem.
    Thank you in advance,

    Hi Sunny,
    The reason for your error is that you're trying to add a blank ship to address.
    bp.Addresses.AddressType = SAPbobsCOM.BoAddressType.bo_ShipTo;
    returnval = bp.Update();
    you are just specifying a type and then trying to update. If you want to add another line, you have to set some properties, like:
    bp.Addresses.AddressType = SAPbobsCOM.BoAddressType.bo_ShipTo;
    bp.Addresses.AddressName = "My Address";
    etc...
    etc...
    returnval = bp.Update();
    Hope it helps,

  • Mountain Lion Mail Server force reply to address

    Using Mac OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.2 server and the built in Mail Server.
    I want to use a group mail (mail listing) for a lodge. My problem is that people tend to use reply to all when replying to a message in the group. Every time a user uses reply to all, another recipient is added to the thread ending up with a lot double mails.
    I have tried to make my fellow lodge members only to use the common group mail address when replying, but without luck. I have also tried to make them setup a specific reply-to address (our group e-mail address), but they are far from computer experts.
    My question! Is there anyway to have the OS X Mail Server (or another mail server for OS X) force a reply to address for users using POP3?
    Hope you understand my question and sorry for any misspelling as I am from Denmark, Europe .
    Regards, Chris.

    Hi Jeffrey,
    Many thanks for your input.  I did it the way you describe it.
    But meanwhile I found the real reason, and aI'd like to share it with others.
    If you created a local network user in the user section, this user is created in the OD.
    When creating this user I like to use the initials as shortname.
    My emaildresses however are configured as [email protected]
    When Postfix is searching the OD for a user he searches for " firstname.lastname" and if during the user creation you omit to give this as a shortname as well, Postfix can never find this user. 
    So I went to all accounts, added the "firstname.lastname" combination to the shortname (the initials are kept for easy login reasons), and suddenly email is correctly routed to the users.
    Seems very stupid, but t was hard to find and took me a lot of time.
    So problem solved.
    Now back to Apple:
    If Postfix is looking at the sequence before the @, than it would seem logic to me that when we created users in the users section or in Workgroup Manager, and when we define emailaddresses, the sequence before the @ would be added automatically to the shortname list where Postfix is searching.  Now we have to do this manualy.
    For experienced users it's no big deal, but for novices who want to setup things it's not obvious at all.
    For me there is clear improvement potential for Apple. 
    Thanks again for reacting.
    Bernard.

  • Mail.app and multiple sender addresses?

    I'm trying to figure out if Mail.app can be configured to have multiple sender addresses like Thunderbird can. The reason for this because I want to use "+" address for mailing lists.
    Let me explain so there is no confusion. I sign up for a mailing list using the e-mail address: <username>+<listname>@gmail.com
    I have setup Mail.app to connect to Gmail via pop and can download and send e-mail fine using <username>@gmail.com. However I need to be able to send e-mail as <username>+<listname>@gmail when I'm replying or posting to those mailing lists.
    I can't seem to find a way in Mail.app to let me change who I'm sending as. Does anyone have a Mail.app solution to this problem?

    Hello,
    I never saw your original post.
    I have not tried this specifically with a Gmail account, but don't see why it wouldn't work. See the Mail Help and the following Support doc link for email aliases:

    Those about .mac aliases do not apply.

  • Problems with Mail 3.5 reply to address

    I have a Gmail account and about two years ago changed the settings on Gmail to have the Gmail reply-to address be my work email. I was using Apple Mail for my Gmail account with no problems. Then, about a year ago, I decided to keep my accounts separate so I went into Gmail settings and changed the settings so that the reply-to address would be my Gmail address.
    Apple Mail continued to keep my work email as the reply-to address. I tried seemingly everything - deleting the account and reinstating it, making sure that preferences in Apple Mail didn't have my work email as the reply-to address, etc. Finally I gave up and started using Thunderbird.
    The problem is that I really like Apple Mail. I think the entire program is just superior to anything else. But it still has that problem where I send an email using Gmail, and the reply-to address is my work email. I checked Gmail settings and the reply-to address is set as my Gmail address.
    I am using IMAP on GMail, Apple Mail 3.5, and OS X 10.5.6
    Can anyone help me with this? It is really aggravating. I have a feeling that it is a problem with the GMail server-Apple Mail communication.
    I hope I don't have to create a brand new GMail account.
    Thanks for any help.

  • IPhone Mail, MobileMe and Multiple From Addresses

    iOS 4.2 failed us MobileMe mail users by not allowing us to send from multiple external accounts using our @Me account. Ugh! I can not wait to see this discussion roll back into the history books. I patiently sat waiting and now I give.
    I understand that there are numerous discussions on the web about this, but I feel inclined to share yet another solution that I have not seen on the web. It is pretty straightforward and simple.
    (I will write, semi-explicitly, as to help all understand.)
    First off, Here is a scenario...
    -I have a MobileMe account and choose to use this on my iPhone for the sync reasons that we all know and love.
    -I have a Gmail account which is my primary email address that all my friends and family etc. have. I ONLY want them to see and use this email address. (I know how easily confused others address books, as well as themselves, get when they see more than 1 email address.)
    -I have my business email address which I only want to share with clients and for work purposes. I do not want to share my Gmail with them.
    Let's label these email addresses as follows...
    MobileMe is [email protected]
    Gmail is [email protected]
    Work is [email protected]
    (*I will add 1 more later in this thread*)
    -First thing to do is go into the [email protected] accounts settings and forward all messages to the [email protected] address. (I have gmail archive the messages after forwarding)
    -Then, go into the [email protected] accounts settings and forward all of these messages to the [email protected] account. (I have work mail archive the messages after forwarding)
    -Next, setup [email protected] on your iPhone as normal.
    -Then, setup [email protected] on your iPhone as normal.
    *You will now have 2 email accounts that both send and receive on your iPhone. Now, when you compose new mail, you can touch the cc field and then select which account that you would like to send from. (I know, you know this already... Continue on.)
    The unified Inbox helps you manage incoming mail, but you will receive 2 copies of everything that is sent to [email protected]'s email. Yukk! This is obviously because [email protected] is receiving the message and [email protected] is receiving the forward message, right?
    Here is my very simple and silly solution that Apple has forced me to use...
    Create a new email account (somewhere like gmail) with the intention of NEVER using this address anywhere! You NEVER want mail to come here, so make the address some stupid name like [email protected]. In the settings for that account you can even set a new filter which will delete any message that is sent to this address (if you want added protection from receiving mail here).
    *We will call this new email account [email protected]
    Now go into the iPhone settings for the [email protected] email account and set the incoming server settings to the [email protected] settings. *Make sure to set the proper port, SSL etc.
    Ahhh, now you will only receive the messages sent to your [email protected] account via your [email protected] account on your iPhone and you can still send from either account when you compose new messages or replies.
    Enjoy.

  • Yahoo mail not respecting Reply-to address set in web interface..

    Has anyone else noticed this problem and figured out a workaround?
    G4 Powermac 1 gig   Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

    Well, the push feature is less important to me than
    a
    reliable IMAP server.
    Can you share which commercial services provide
    that?
    I suppose I could have my company put a server
    outside our firewall, but that seems like an
    expensive solution .
    More to the point, this seems like a simple
    problem
    that Apple and Yahoo could and should solve without
    a
    lot of sweat.
    I agree. It would be even sweeter if GMail decide to
    offer IMAP support. Their spam filters are TOP
    NOTCH.
    My host company (Valueweb) hosts my domain and their
    servers provide IMAP support. If you only need
    email, I've heard good things about
    http://www.fastmail.fm/
    Well, I just want my company to ship all my mail to [email protected] and come out on my iPhone. That works fine.
    Then, I want the replies from the iPhone to appear to come from [email protected] That doesn't seem to be too difficult a problem and I'm disappointed that Apple and Yahoo didn't work this out.
    As previously mentioned, one can get this to work with Gmail, but POP only, which means that the iPhone downloads every email instead of just headers. Not good.
    Thanks for the pointer to fastmail -- I'll look into them.

  • Junk mail filter and feedback email address

    What's the feedback email address because I want to suggest Apple adds a spam filter to the phone already. Can you believe they don't have one.

    i dont get why you're putting the owness on apple? thats to be done on whoever is providing you with the email. is it your tv's fault that theres so many commercials when you watch a program?
    with that said, use gmail. its does a GREAT job filtering stuff i dont want.

  • Changing reply to address in .mac account on Mail

    I use Mail with .mac for email. However, for work I have a company domain name/email address which is forwarded automatically to my .mac address/account. I want to be able to send messages where the "from" and "reply to" addresses are [email protected], not [email protected] Can anyone help me set this up please?
    Hope I've expressed the problem clearly, with many thanks
    Macbook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    I have a similar problem.
    I purchased a domain name (we shall call it mycompany.com) and the service includes e-mail forwarding. So, anything sent to [email protected], will in fact fo to [email protected]
    What I would like to do is to reply and for the reciever to actually see [email protected], instead of [email protected]
    To me, the solution was very simple as to go to account information in Mail and change the e-mail address to [email protected] As it turns out, it is not as simple as I thought. Everytime I try to reply to a message with this settings, I get an error message asking me to choose an SMTP server from the list, and even after choosing the right one, the mail wont be sent.
    Now, the weirdest part of all this is that with my previous ISP I used to be able to send e-mails with [email protected] with no problems at all! It worked like a charm and never had the SMTP issue.
    I changed ISPs because the Cable service was getting too expensive and the tech support is horrible. Now I use DSL and everything seems to work nice, except for this little bump.
    So, do you think this had something to do with Mail or is my new ISP's deal?
    Thanks for your time guys!

  • Automatic "Reply to" address when sending emails?

    Is there a way to automatically include an address in the "Reply to" field in all my outgoing emails, similar to the way Mail can automatically put your own address in the CC or BCC field?

    Oh, I just found two possible ways in another thread but they have serious drawbacks:
    1. Change the "send new email from" address in the prefs. Unfortunately Mail won't let me create an account with my desired email address because the address I want to use has the same host and user name as my "From" address.
    2. Go into Terminal and make a permanent "Reply To" address. This method is so arcane and scary that I really don't like the idea, plus it's unchangeable.
    Apple should offer an option to include an automatic "reply to" feature. If they don't, they dropped the ball on that one.

  • Mail v3.6 drops cc address on reply

    When I 'reply all' to some emails, mail is not including all the addresses in the CC field.
    It appears to drop one address, it's not my address and it's an address I've replied to before and it's an address in my Address book.
    It's happened on 3 different mails and different addresses and reproducible, every time I reply all to one of those mails, it doesn't include the address. It's always the same address for that particular mail, but not the same address across the mails. I've looked at the raw source and see nothing wrong.
    eg:
    I receive a mail
    To: [email protected]
    From: [email protected]
    Cc: [email protected], [email protected]
    I do reply all and I get (in the addresses)
    To: [email protected]
    Cc: [email protected]
    From: [email protected]
    It isn't always the 1st address in the To or CC field, it happens with either To or CC, so it's not just something to do with the CC addresses. The address is valid (syntax etc) and I can compose a mail to just that address by using the drop down on the address.
    Any ideas? Is this some index issue and is there a way to rebuild it?
    Time to upgrade to snow leopard anyway, maybe that will fix it.

    Same problem here. I also have "Automatically cc myself UNCHECKED.

    It has replaced those fileds in ALL the emails in my folder from 2009 top now!
    Also when I try to address an email to the list address, it automatically gets replaced with the new memebr's email address.
    That is so even if I disable auto copleting of addresses.
    I can type the list addresws, but as soon as I leave the TO field of the new emails, the address changes to the new memebr address.

    MANY thanks for any advice, it is driving me bananas.
