Contact email address being randomly modified

My email contacts are randomly being changed to include a Greater Than sign and two "". The mail systems won't accept them as legal address.

The address has been changed in the contact list.
Unfortunately the term "contact list" is used to mean different things by different people such as the contacts as displayed in the AddressBook or a specific contact folder view etc.
Aside from identifying which "contact list" you are referring to - when you open the individual contact detail screen as asked in question #1 in the last post - is the information correct there?
Also - Outlook information as asked in question #2 in previous post?

How do I add a contacts email address

How Di I add contacts email addresses ?

If you insist on using a mailing list for something it is not designed for I guess the answer is yes.
Address books are for contacts and provide for contacts without email addresses. As stated earlier, mailing lists are for creating groups for sending group emails. In order for a contact to be on a mailing list they have to exist in the address book you are creating the list in.
A better solution if you are trying to create categories of contacts is create a new address book.

Applescript cannot reference Outlook 2011 Contact Email Address

Hi All,
Hair all pulled out; about to kick my head against a real brick wall. I have an applescript that had worked great in Entourage but Outlook has changed the dictionary. Trying to tweak it, but it's painful.
Basically, I'm trying to add email addresses to a contact object. In entourage, I used this:
set addx to (make new email address with properties {type:home, contents:(item i of emailAddresses)} at theContact)
And it worked great (obviously, I declare theContact earlier and do stuff with it later)
Accordng to the dictionary, in Outlook it seems the list of contact email addresses are in a property called "Email Addresses" which contains a list of "Contact Email Address" items.
Any attempt to reference, declare, make new, ANYTHING with contact emaill addres fails with an error. As an example (emailAddresses is my own list of text items)
This command: set addx to make new contact email address with properties {type:work, address:(item i of emailAddresses)}
Returns this: Microsoft Outlook got an error: Can’t make class contact email address.
This one: set end of email addresses of theContact to (contact email address with properties {type:work, address:(item i of emailAddresses)}
won't even compile, and returns: A properties:true can’t go after this contact email address.
So I'm not sure how to add an address if I can't declare one.
If anyone has successfully added an email to a contact record via applescript, I'd LOVE to see how you did it!
Thanks,
Jeff

I don't have Outlook, so can't be sure here, but there are common AppleScript parallels that might help.
This command: set addx to make new contact email address with properties {type:work,address:(item i of emailAddresses)}
Returns this: Microsoft Outlook got an error: Can’t make class contact email address.
Typically you cannot arbitrarily make a new object without defining where.
I would suspect this code would work better as:
set addx to make new contact email address at end of email addresses of theContact with properties {type:work,address:(item i of emailAddresses)}
By telling AppleScript where to create the object you should be OK
Just a guess, though.

Deleted contact email address

I had to dump my gmail account as it was breached by a hacker and now I don't know how to change my contact email address!

Hi
Where are you trying to change your contact e-mail address?
If its here, then you will need to change it on your AppleID. Go to http://appleid.apple.com/ to change it

My correct contact email address is not being used...

I do not use, and do wish to use, my allocated BTInternet email address and I have my normal Gmail address set up for my BT contact. As a result I have the BTInternet address set up to permanently forward emails to the Gmail account.
Despite my contact address being set to Gmail, I keep getting mails signed by Warren Buckley which are coming via the forwarding route from BTIinternet.
The latest one heralds a problem. It is telling me that, because of a change in the T&Cs, the BTInternet account will be closed if I do not actively access it every 150 days. That is in addition to the fact that I recently had an email telling me that I must set up some new way of using the BTInternet account which, as I do not use the BTInternet account, I have no interest in doing.
If this goes ahead I will, after 150 days, not receive any information emails from BT as I will have no account for WB's minions to send them to.
I have submitted a communication about this under a "Technical help - Email or security software [Incident:130427-002xxx]" reference. However, is there anything else I could do to get this anomoly corrected and emails sent to my real contact address at Gmail?

Thank you for that. I had not seen any other postings on the topic as I was unsure where to post this and I had used the wrong forum section and one of the mods has moved it here.
The email I got never actually mentioned forwarding as a method of retention, so I hope you are correct.
What the email said was:
How to keep your BT email
Make sure you use your email at least once every 150 days by logging on at bt.yahoo.com, using your computer email software (like Microsoft Outlook or Mozilla Thunderbird) or checking your email on your smartphone. If you don't, we'll close the account and delete everything that goes with it - including your emails, contacts, calendar and notes.
Edit: I have now delved ito the T&Cs and I see the reference there.

Email address being used by someone else to send viruses - help please?

I am receving ten emails a day from people I know saying they received a message from me including a virus.
Here's one example:
This message has been processed by Symantec's AntiVirus Technology.
account6.pif was infected with the malicious virus W32.Sality.U and has been deleted because the file cannot be cleaned.
Another from a friend:
-Today we received an email from your address which contained a virus and was deleted.
I have a .Mac account and it is not clear whether someone has accessed my email address and is sending emails using it, or whether somehow, a virus is being added to mail I am sending.
What can I do please?

More than likely what has occurred is a Windows user has been infected with a virus who has your email address in their email client's address book.
Such a Windows virus sends an email with infected file attached to all contacts in the infected user's address book and randomly selects an email address from the address book to appear as the sending email address for the message or messages.
All this occurs without the infected user's knowledge.
This helps to enable the virus to spread quickly since most people are more likely to open an attachment received from someone they may recognize or doesn't appear to be send by a spammer and makes it more difficult to determine which Windows PC is infected and where the message or messages has originated.
Unless you sent these messages including the attachment with the same file name indicated that was infected, what I provided has occurred. Although it is possible to receive a message with an attached file that is infected with a Windows virus and forward the message with attachment or save the attachment outside of the received message and attach it to a new message, a file infected with a Windows virus can have no effect on OS X with the exception of Office document macro viruses (which are no longer as common) but affect Office documents only with OS X.

How can I backup iphone contacts/email/addresses and transfer them to PC ea

Hey,guys!!!i have one quick question about my iphone contact backup ...
I have an iphone that has all my contacts stored in it.... (phone numbers, email, addresses, etc...) and I recently
bought an new computer, but I don't have any of this information stored in it.
My question is, how can I sync my iphone with to my PC without erasing the info in the iphone. I don't want my system
to think that since the PC is empty it should erase every contact in the iphone. I just want to transfer everything
from iphone and have a copy on PC,especially the contacts.
Appreciated your early reply.

Maybe you should go Discussion-Apple to look for what is iTunes user directions about how to backup your iphone.
Other than there are also a tool called Contacts Tool search iphone applications,and it will help u a lot if u want to transfer the contacts to computer.Like Out2003 or Outlook2007...
Outlook 2003:
1. In Outlook, choose Tools > Options.
2. Click Other and then click Advanced Options.
3. Select COM add-ins and select the iTunes sync add-in and click OK.
4. Click Apply and then continue with the steps below.
Outlook 2007:
1. In Outlook, choose Tools > Trust Center.
2. In the Categories pane, click Add-ins.
3. In the Details pane, locate the iTunes add-in in the "Inactive Application Add-ins" list.
4. In the Manage box, click COM Add-ins, and then click Go.
5. In the COM Add-Ins dialog box, select the iTunes sync add-in.
6. Click OK.
Besides,if you are always frustrated the directions of iTunes and Outlook.I want to give your advice to try out other professional transfer contact software.As far as i concerned,you can download the [trail version|http://hotdownloads.com/trialware/download/Downloadtanseeiphonecontact_.exe?item=13181-12&affiliate=575053&sscoupon=SOFT-QSTG] of [Tansee iPhone Transfer Contact|http://www.softwarebbs.com/wiki/TanseeiPhone_TransferContact] for free,which can help you back up your iPhone contacts along with contact photos to computer as a file (either txt or antc).

Missing functionality - multiple contact email addresses

Currently SBO version 8.8 oly allows a single email address for each contact to synchronize with Outlook.
Contacts routinely have multiple email addresses which should all be enabled to synchronize with Outlook. by limiting to a single address in the contact record, the activities in the contact records will be missing critical history which may be requred for legal requirements onder Sarbanes Oxley and other legal reporting requirments for document retention requirements.
Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires the CEO and CFO of a public company to personally certify and attest to the accuracy of their company's financial statements contained in periodic reports. Section 404 requires auditors to certify the underlying controls and processes that companies use to reach financial results. Both sections require proof that a company's reported financial information can be relied on - and require companies to invest in procedures that ensure information is recorded and managed in a trustworthy manner, including email. As an organization's dependence on electronic mail continues to grow, the mismanagement of email provides a growing target for litigators and regulators. Companies must ensure that records in digital form are managed with the same care and attention as records in paper form.
Business records must be protected at all times from unauthorized tampering and deletion, more so when a company is involved in audits, investigations, litigation or other formal proceedings. It is therefore of primary importance to copy and archive data before a user has a chance to manipulate it or delete it. Companies must ensure that directors, management and accounting personnel in particular, are informed of their obligation to preserve business records

You can try holding the COMMAND key, then highlighting the contacts you wish to delete, when you have finished sekecting try pressing COMMAND-Delete, this should trash them. Be sure enteries are are correct, there is no coming back.
Hope this helps

Why can't I copy contacts' email address from their name card in lync 2010

so here is the issue I have, when I need to copy someone's email addresses or their phone numbers, normally I will find them on lync, move the cursor on them, and their name card will show up, then I move cursor to their email address or their phone numbers,
right click it, there will be an option to "copy", right? but sometimes, right clicking doesn't work. that copy option just won't pop up, this issue happens randomly, I need to restart lync, then it will work again. Also, there is one thing
that's weird, after I restart lync, whatever I have copied in the clipboard will disappear, like if I press ctrl+c to copy something from word, then this issue happened, I restart lync, I can copy information in lync name card again, but all that
content I copied does not exist in clipboard anymore, I press ctrl+v, there is nothing coming out.
this is not a big problem, but it's really annoying, does anyone know why this issue happen and how to permanently? I tried to reinstall, does not work.
this issues happens with both lync 2010 32 bit on 32 bit win7 and lync 2010 64 bit on win7 64 bit.

Hi,
Please try to delete Lync user profile and information in registry.
The path of Lync user profile: <user profile>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Communicator\
The path of Lync information in registry: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Communicator\[email protected]
Please also make sure Lync client update to the latest version.

.photography email address being called invalid

A firm I've started working with has its website with a .photography domain.
When I try to send e-mail to them, at an e-mail address like [email protected], BT mail tells me it's an invalid email address and won't let me send it. It's a nuisance having to use my gmail backup just to send messages to one contact.
The .photography domain, and others, have been live for about a year now. Will the BT email system start recognising them or is there another way round this?

Hi duncolm,
Sorry about the problems with sending emails to that domain. We'll need to raise this with our email suppliers. Please use the 'contact the mods' link in my forum profile under the 'about me' section to send in your details. You can find the link by clicking on my username.
Thanks

Deleting Non-Contact email addresses

How can I delete an email address that is not in my contacts. I entered an email address incorrectly and now every time I try entering a similar email address, the bad one shows up.

Try going to the home screen > settings > general > reset > reset keyboard dictionary.
Hope this helps.

Facebook changed my contacts email address

The new facebook change, changed the email address of anyone in my contact list who has a facebook account.
Can I put this back to the way it was?
I want to be able to have the contacts real email address not the facebook email address in my contact list.

I noticed Facebook changed everyone's default e-mail address to the Facebook address it assigned. Lame! Anyway, I looked through my contacts and the real e-mail addresses are still there. They haven't been overridden by the Facebook addresses. This may be because I use the browser for Facebook and not the app.
What happens if you choose to view only your phone and Google contacts and not Facebook contacts? Do their real email addresses return? I know this isn't a long-term solution if you want your FB contacts in your address book. I'm sorry, I'm at a loss for an answer right now, since mine didn't change. But maybe someone else will have an idea.

Mail Groups with Multiple Contact Email Addresses

I cannot find a way to create a Group in Address Book where the contacts have more than one email address. In fact I have not been able to get emailing to groups with Mail to work at all. I always get prompted to select one of my other outgoing SMTP servers... none of them work, iCloud, Gmail, private domain. I don't understand why this is so difficult.
I have read online that Groups do not support contacts with multiple email addresses... Really? Say it isn't so!

User A can have one mailbox associated with his ID. You can create other "User A" mailboxes with different names and e-mail addresses as shared mailboxes and grant User A full mailbox rights and send as right. User A can
then connect to each one of them separately.
