Contact list greyed out in mail

Since the Yosemite update, my contact list is greyed out in mail. I can't select any contacts to add to the "to" "CC" or "BCC" fields. I went to my privacy settings to see if mail had permission to access my contacts, but mail isn't even on the list of apps requesting permission. HELP?

Same problem in iMac version. For now, I've laboriously added the names one by one to a new message then saved it as a draft. Now at least I can load the draft, copy the address field then paste it into my real message. At three separated clicks per address, building a 65 member list is crap, Apple!

  • I can't bring up my contact list when sending E mails, says error code

    At times I can't bring up my contact list when sending E mail. It says contact list error code. I can bring up my contact list when I use internet explorer. Sometimes fire fox crashes for no apparent reason ....

    Firefox doesn't do email, it's a web browser.
    If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.

  • CUPC 8.6 Contact Call Greyed Out Issue

    Hi All
    I'm having an issue with contacts in CUPC, I have CUCM 8.6.2a SU2 and CUP 8.6.4 in HA mode configured as Active/ Standby and I am using the CUPC client 8.6.1, the issue I have is that when I add a contact to the client, it works fine for Presence and I can call the click on the client and the call option is available, however as soon as I log out of CUPC and log back in again, the Call option is greyed out, if I remove the contact and then re add the contact then Call is available again.
    All IM and Presence is working fine, its just the Call option that is an issue.
    Anyone come across this before or can advise?
    Regards
    Nick           

    Hi
    OK - so it should all fall into place when you get the AD connected.
    One note - if you have contacts in your list, that are people in the AD, you'll probably need to delete them and then re-add once it's running to get proper information/status etc... so don't get too carried away preconfiguring users etc.!
    Regards

  • Incoming mail server has changed, but greyed out in Mail, can't be corrected

    The incoming mail server for my website's email account has changed, but the incoming server box is greyed out and doesn't allow me to change it to the correct one.  I do not want to delete the account and start again because all mail and contacts associated with the account will be lost.  So far all the suggestions regarding greyed out incoming server boxes have to do with iCloud but while i use iCloud, I don't use it for mail or have an @iCloud email address.  They also involve starting from scratch with Mail, which would be a huge problem for me trying to save all my emails and reconstruct my mailboxes.
    What gives with this issue? a lot of people seemed to have it, though I saw no responses later than 2012.  Unlike other people, I can still get my mail, but the server certificate always comes up invalid.  I can tell Mail to trust it, but This greyed out thing is certainly a bug or unintended consequence.  I want to be able to change that field.

    Sorry, Guess I solved my own problem anyway.  Perhaps this will help others.  I unchecked "automatically detects and maintain account settings", closed and saved the mail preferences window ( I had also updated my outgoing server info which was not greyed out )  I closed Mail and when I reopened it, the incoming server was no longer greyed out and I could change it which I did.  I may recheck the auto detect box once I have ensured that the port settings are all correct.

  • .Mac Outgoing Server Greyed Out in Mail

    I'm trying to use my original .mac account and all the information goes through fine when using the Mail wizard but when .mac appears in the mail preferences, the Incoming Mail Server is greyed out and hasn't carried over the information I originally put in. It also won't let me enter anything into the field.
    The account type I've set up is MobileMe IMAP
    Can anyone help, please?

    Setting up a MobileMe IMAP should not longer work, as the settings will be wrong.
    Go to icloud.com and sign in with your apple id (guess that'll be your @mac address?).  Verify you see your mail correctly there.  If you do, remove your @mac email from mail menu >> preferences >> accounts.  Then, go to system preferences >> icloud, sign in with your apple id and put a check beside 'mail'.  Your mail will be automatically setup for you in the mail.app.  If you want to send from your @mac address, click the pull down menu beside the "from" field while composing an email and select that address.
    You can also set default address to send from in mail menu >> preferences >> composing.
    iCloud mail settings are not supposed to be edited manually unless you're setting up it up on a system prior to Lion.

  • Advanced Drop Down List greyed out

    I believe that the h1, h2 heading tags should be available under the advanced drop down list. When I try to edit a page and place a h1 tag I can't because the Advanced drop down list is greyed out and I can't use ti.

    Hello lfrith,
    Please post the URL for the site you're working with. I'll take a look at the source and styling options applied to the region. Is the Advanced menu grayed out when trying to edit all edtiable regions in your page? Did it ever work with your page?

  • Why is Contacts delete greyed out?

    I can not find a way to delete contacts. I select a name and there is no delete button. The delete under edit menu is greyed out.

    I hope not, I have no facebook account. I'm just using Apple's application, "Contacts".
    Here is a message from the terminal when I press the [delete] key when a name/card is selected from within Contacts.

    Contact will be grayed out if they don't have an email address, as this is required to invite recipients to your shared photo stream.

  • Why is the 'send' icon greyed out in mail? I cant send any mail.

    Thanks for your reply. I tried it but it didn't work. After some playing around I found that the outgoing mail preferences had altered. Not sure why the setting changed but never the less its working again. Thanks again

  • How to fix Hide Mail option greyed out in Mail menu?

    I can no longer hide Mail in Mountain Lion 10.8.2 by using the Command-H keyboard cammand or by selecting "Hide Mail" in the Mail menu since the option is greyed out. Not a problem in any other program. Is this perhaps a corrupt preference file?

    Are you using Full Screen. If so, the option isn't available as you can just switch desktops to "hide" whatever is in Full Screen.

  • Use this mailbox for greyed out in Mail 7

    Since upgrading to Mavericks (and Mail 7) I can no longer assign the sent messages folder in Mail.  My IMAP provider uses a "sent items" folder under the inbox which I had previously used Mailbox->Use This Mailbox For->Sent to get it synced correctly across all my devices.  Unfotunately all options under Use This Mailbox For are greyed out since upgrading to Mavericks.  This is the same for all my IMAP email accounts.  I am able to change the settings on my iOS devices but no joy on my mac.  Any advice would be much appreciated.

    I'm sorry it didn't work for you. I'm not sure but I think I deleted the account from the Internet Accounts preference pane instead of from Mail's preferences. Could that make a difference?
    Anyway for me the behaviour isn't consistent at all. In three IMAP accounts one does't have the problem at all, one shows the "Use This Mailbox For" options "Sent" and "Junk" selectable and the other two greyed out, and for one account only "Junk" is selectable.
    Strange.
    The two accounts that have the problem are from the German provider Strato. Though I don't think it is a provider issue.
