Contact display name problem

Since upgrading to ML I'm having a problem with contact display names in Mail. When I go to compose an email, some contacts have a problem. EG for "John Smith" email [email protected], I type in smith and autocomplete. But Mail displays "[email protected] Smith" as the name. When I look in Address Book the contact card for John Smith is formatted properly. Any ideas?

2100 SMS messages is a lot ! On a Series 40 phone you will be lucky if you get more than 400 messages in your inbox.
I think you should ask your question in the smartphone discussion /discussions/board?board.id=smartphones as the behavoir you describe is something not seen on normal (S40) Nokia phones.
Knowledge should be your Advisor when you need help.

  • Contacts: Display "Name, first name"

    Need your help dear BB Z10 community!
    Does any one know if there is the possibility within the contacts to display "Name, first name" (and not to sort!) like on the old beloved BB 9900? 
    How to sort is clear to me, but I would like, within the sort's result, to display first the name and then the rated first name, separated by a comma.
    Any advise and help would be very much appreciated!
    I just hope not to receiving a response from BB "we cannot do"! It seems to me that BB has not taken over the really professional business features on the Z10, which we daily badly need... at least up to now.  

    Please list that need here:

  • Alias display name problem

    Hello
    Recently i added a new receive connector on my business exchange server 2010 in order to allow relay.To be more specific we wanted to allow users sending emails through our erp software.After the implementation of the new connector the problem we faced was
    that we received the usual system mails from servers but the alias name of the sender has been changed.For example it changed the server name which was the alias name with a user mail of the specific server.
    This also happened with an external email account we used which sends the emails outside the company with the correct alias name,but inside i see a sender somethieng like ''[email protected]'' on behalf of ''user''.Why is that happenning?
    Thank you!

    Hi,
    From your description, I would like to clarify the following thing for troubleshooting:
    Verify if '[email protected]' is set Send on Behalf Rights for the user’s Mailbox. If yes, when handler sends a message and changes the From field to the user's email address, you will see something like
    "'[email protected]' on behalf of 'user'."
    Hope my clarification can be helpful to you.
    Best regards,

  • Has anyone had a problem with their contact display on messages?

    I have turned off other contact groups, but when texting I get all groups displayed when I search for names. Not only this, some of them seem to have downloaded name info from sender! I also now get some email contacts displayed in text name line. Very odd! Never had this problem before update.
    I can't seem to find a way to switch this off. Somehow seems to be an iCloud mess up.

    I am running Windows 7 64 bit, IE8, Dreamweaver CS4 and all is fine and identical to how it was under Vista 64.
    So whatever the issue is, it's probably resolvable.

  • INVITE with display-name=""  in Contact header- 400 Bad request from occas

    Hi,
    When a UAC sends an INVITE to OCCAS
    with the Contact header in the form :
    Contact: "" <sip:user@domain>
    OCCAS rejects the message with 400 Bad request.
    The problem comes from display-name = ""
    (proven easily with sipp)
    In the 400 response : X-Bad-Request: Illegal header "Contact"
    It seems that the string "" as display name should be allowed according to rfc 3261:
    display-name = *(token LWS)/ quoted-string
    quoted-string = SWS DQUOTE *(qdtext / quoted-pair ) DQUOTE
    qdtext = LWS / %x21 / %x23-5B / %x5D-7E/ UTF8-NONASCII
    quoted-pair = "\" (%x00-09 / %x0B-0C / %x0E-7F)
    Has anyone encountered the problem?
    regards

    hello...my questions is related to objective C..
    Is it possible to display name of the person who is calling me whose number is saved in my local database but not in iphone contacts ?.

    ashish35,
    No one from Apple here - we're just users like you. All I can tell you is that electronic fail and with MacBook Pros (and most notebooks) the components are so integrated as to make a repair to the logic board practically impossible, hence the high prices charged for repairs.
    Only you can decide if you want to have your computer repaired or put the money towards the purchase of a new computer. If you do decide to purchase a new unit I would suggest that you also purchase the AppleCare Protection Plan which increases your warranty from one year to three years.
    Sorry and good luck,
    Clinton

  • How can I change the display name of a contact in my address book?

    If I open one of my contacts in the Address Book, the display name is the name of the organization. I want it to be the last name of the individual. How can I change that?

    Thank you for your reply. I realize from your answer that I didn't poise my question properly! If I have not entered anything in the 'Display name' field then the message header (i.e. the title of the business card) follows by default the name of the 'Organization'. I wanted to know if it's possible to change this so that the message header of the business card follows the 'Last name' of the person and not the name of the 'Organization'. Thank you!

  • Hi Everyone,  I am using iPhone5, my question in how to display name and contact number both stored for incoming and outgoing calls? If I have saved five different numbers with a same name, how do I recognise that from which number caller is calling?

    Hi Everyone,  I am using iPhone5, my question in how to display name and contact number both stored for incoming and outgoing calls? If I have saved five different numbers with a same name, how do I recognise that from which number caller is calling?

    I have friends all over Europe, does it matter what number they use to call me? Nope! All incoming calls are free for me.
    The only time you ever have to worry about which number is if you get charged for incoming domestic/international calls.
    You can tag their number (work/home/iphone) and that may show on the CallerID accordingly.
    It should show, John Doe
    underneath,    work/home/mobile
    For example:

  • Why does the display name in older messages change if I update my address book for that E-mail address?

    I have recently installed Thunderbird 24.5.0 after upgrading a WinXP machine to Win7. I have discovered a strange problem with older mail that was imported from Outlook Express 6.
    The pastor of my church uses a generic E-mail address <[email protected]>. This address belongs to the position, not to an individual. We recently had a new pastor come to the church, and I updated my entry for this E-mail address to reflect the new person's name. This is fine for new mail sent since the new person arrived, but Thunderbird has also applied the new name to older mail from the previous pastor. This is very confusing, since the current pastor could not have sent mail from that address prior to her start date.
    How can I get Thunderbird to stop changing the Display Name in archival messages that were sent by the previous pastor prior to September 01, 2013? I have not encountered this situation before using Netscape 4.x Mail, Outlook Express 6, and Windows Mail (Vista version).

    Of course it does. It looks for a match between the sender's email address and a Contact in your address book. You've edited the Display Name for this account so it gets applied to any message with that email address if that's how your Address Book is configured.
    In the Contact card for this address, you can tell it whether or not to use the "real" email address within the message, or the Display Name from your Address Book. Telling it to use the name found in the message ''might'' resolve this, but it depends on how the sender has formatted it. If he includes his name then Thunderbird should be able to resolve it, and you just add both configurations to your Address Book as two separate Contacts, rather than modifying the existing entry.
    However, in this situation you're using the same email address for two distinct people, so Thunderbird may not be able to know who sent the old messages. If both have sent using "rector&#64;stpeterscobourg.org" without any personalization then Thunderbird won't be able to differentiate between them.
    I have to say that I haven't recently tried using different display names with the same email address, so I don't know for sure if TB can use the display name constructively. If there's nothing in the old messages to tell you which sender wrote them, then TB can't do anything about it.

  • Skype name vs display name in chat

    I have been in a group chat for a long time. There are several hundred members of the chat. I am not the administrator.
    I have recently realized (as a result of some attribution problems relating to various messages on the chat) that Skype is mixing up Skype names and display names in the chat thread. With hundreds of members, this is more than annoying – it has already caused some friction.
    In summary, a series of posts by some members show up with a mix of their Skype name and their display name. This can happen when their posts are only minutes apart. It does not happen with all members.
    Does anyone have experience of this? Is there anything I or the administrator can do to fix it? I know I can set anyone's display name locally to whatever I like. I also know that adding them to my contact list might lock in the display name. But there are hundreds of members of this chat; I don't want them all in my contacts and I don't want to manually adjust them all!
    Skype 6.15; Mac OSX10.8.5
    Thanks for any insight!

  • IMac email display names

    This has been a really annoying thing that has been happening to me with the mail application.
    When you make an email in the mail application it asks if you want to give it a description.  So for example on my ebay email address I described it as Ebay Mail and under my inboxes it shows up as Ebay Mail.  Now lets say I sent someone an an email when it comes up instead of saying my full email address it says the mail is from "Ebay Mail".  I don't want it to say that I want it to say its from my full name, but I want to use the nickname of the mail for my personal organziation so I know the difference of what mail it is.  I also have problems if someone else with apple mail sends me an email.  Like for example one of my friends has labeled one of his boxes as paypal so he can tell what email that is.  Everytime I get an email from him it says its from Paypal which is really confusing because I dont know if its him sending me an email or paypal themselves.  I tried changing his name in my contacts to his real name, but its sitll showing up as Paypal when he is sending me somehting yet when you open the email the from says his real name.  Is there anyway to fix this so the box is just nicknamed and it doesnt show up as the sender name to other people and then on the other way if someone sends me an email with a nicknamed box to not show up as things like paypal? 

    Hi,
    I suppose you are using an Exchange account? Have you upgraded the Exchange Server?
    I am using Outlook 2013 & Windows 8.1, I cannot reproduce this issue on my side.
    If you send the emails on Web(OWA), will the recipients see the display names in the CC field? If yes, try creating a new profile to setup your account, test if this issue persists:

  • How to change your displayed name

    How do you change your displayed name in iCloud?  I have tried changing the settings and I also update my Apple ID profile, but iCloud still displays my old name.
    The name displays in the upper right hand corner and is always displayed, even if you select Calendar, Contacts, Mail, Notes, etc.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you!

  • How to change 'captured' display name?

    How can I view, and more importantly edit, a 'captured' display name?
    I can view and change the display name I made for the contact entry in the address book, but cannot view, much less edit, the 'captured' display name (I looked at the address book using 'Notepad' and can see the entry of the 'captured' display name).
    This causes problems when I start entering the person's name since the 'captured name' often shows up.
    Scenario:
    (1) Person's name = John Doe; Original email address = [email protected]; First message received from original email address had a 'captured'/'sent' display name of 'John Doe'; I created and edited the contact entry / address card and explicitly entered 'John Doe';
    (2) Person now has a new primary email address = [email protected], but wants to keep original email address; With the new, primary email address, I edited the original contact entry / address card and change the display name to 'John Doexx' (keeping the original email address); I created a new contact entry / address card with a display name of 'John Doe' and entered the new primary email address.
    (SITUATION) When I create an email message and start to enter the name 'John Doe', several names are listed. In sequence, the consists of the first (i.e. 'original') address card up with the display name of 'John Doe', then the second ('new') address card with the display name of 'John Doe', and then the 'original' address card (again) with the display name of 'John Doexx'.
    Bottom line, I need to change the 'captured' display name for the first address card so it matches the display name I entered. Alternatively, TBird should ignore 'captured' display names if a display name is explicitly entered.
    P.S. This questions/issue does not involve a concern about the name actually displayed in the message, although that too should be addressed.
    Jim

    In the '''address book''' click on the '''contat''' then right click choose '''properties''' that page where you in put the mane of the contact and email address there is a check box which when checked '''Always prefer display name over message header''' Try this and let me know if it works

  • How can I change the display name when I call someone?

    I recently gave a re-provisioned 8300 to a new employee. I wiped out the phone, and re-setup the phone in our exchange server to match the new user's settings.
    The only problem he's having is that when he calls someone, the display name shows the previous users name as the person calling.
    How do I change that?
    Thanks in advance,
