Convergence Corporate Address Book with Mail Groups

Hi
I'm not sure if this expected behavior or a bug but a search for a mail group in the Corporate Directory of Convergence returns the name of the group in the list in the left panel but no details of the group (such as mail address) in the panel on the right. The Corporate Directory search works correctly for people and returns the full set of attributes.
The version of Convergence is:
./iwcadmin -V
Sun Convergence 1.0-4.01 (built December 8 2008 - 14:54:08)Platform:
uname -a
SunOS mail1 5.10 Generic_138889-03 i86pc i386 i86pcThe iwcadmin options relating to search:
ab.corpdir.[default].searchattr = entry/displayname,@uid,person/surname
ab.corpdir.[default].searchfilter =
ab.corpdir.[default].urlmatch = ldap://corpdirectoryThere are no errors in iwc.log and the LDAP search suggests all attributes are requested. For example, an extract from the LDAP access log when searching for a group called cn=systems:
[01/Apr/2009:09:59:54 +0100] conn=10882 op=31 msgId=101 - SRCH base="o=xxxxx" scope=2
filter="(|(uid=systems)(sn=systems)(cn=systems))" attrs="* createTimestamp"
[01/Apr/2009:09:59:54 +0100] conn=10882 op=31 msgId=101 - RESULT err=0 tag=101 nentries=1 etime=0In case there are some missing objectclasses or attributes in our group definitions (which were imported from an earlier version of Messaging Server (5.2)), here is an LDIF file for an example group:
dn: cn=systems,ou=Groups,o=xxx.com,o=isp
mgmanHidden: false
mgmanMemberVisibility: NONE
mgmanJoinability: NONE
mgrpErrorsTo: [email protected]

In the next Convergence patch (-07 a.k.a. Convergence update 2) selecting a corporate directory group will display additional group related information including a brief listing of the members of the group and email address.
Note however that group view functionality will not mirror that provided by UWC/CE i.e. the ability to expand and view details for each group member. There is an existing RFE to have this functionality added in a future revision of Convergence:
RFE#6801528 - "Provide mechanism to view members of corporate directory groups"

Sync Address Book with Mail Addresses

What's the trick to sync Address Book with Mail Addresses. My Mail Addresses has only a handful of my addresses from addresses from Address Book.
Thanks

After upgrading to Snow Leopard, when composing a message, the address is not completed when typing is begun. I have checked the Mail Preferences - Composing and there is a check mark beside "Automatically Complete Addresses". The "Configure I.DAP" window is blank and I do not know what, if anything, should be in that window.

Convergence Corporate address book

Good Morning,
We are currently running Convergence patch 4 and i noticed a small issue the the Address book. In particular the corporate directory,
when highlighting the corp directory tab in convergence there is an option to "add to address book" function.
When clicking on this button, it will throw an error stating "Save contact failed".
I imagine the problem stems from the address book being a corporate directory will not allow any normal user to modify the corp address book.
But from a user perspective it is very confusing, because they believe clicking on the entry and the "add to address book" button will allow them
to add the entry to the personal address book tab.
Is my assumption correct?
Thanks.

Using main email address of contacts inside Address Book with Mail 3.5

Hi all,
I am organizing a christmas dinner for 20th of December and I have inside address book a group called dinner. I have got 100 contacts and some of them have two email addresses. Some people have told me to send all the information to personal addresses. So when I create the email and call address book from the email message, it let me choose between both email addresses with a blue line. This choice is kept for next time and when I send the email message works but some people is still receiving the mail at the office. I wonder... how can I select the main email address for next time so I would only need moving the "dinner group icon" over the recipient line and that´s all?. Does anybody knows the way of doing that?
Regards,

If you selected their home email address and some say they get it at their work email, then it would seem that they are forwarding their email to their work address. If that's the case, there's nothing you can do about that.
You could always duplicate the group with a different name (Dinner work, for example) and remove their personal email addresses from the contacts in the group, as well as removing the work addresses from the original group.

Automatically adding contacts to Address Book with Mail?

Hello all,
This is my first post in the Apple Discussion forum, but I'm a happy Mac owner since July 2007. Here's a question I have; I searched to see if a similar topic appeared in previous discussions, but none turned up.
In Microsoft Outlook (on my work PC), I can set it up so that anytime I reply to an e-mail address from somebody new, the contact is automatically added to my address book. Is there a way to set that up with Mail and/or Address Book?
I was going through Address Book and noticed some VERY old contacts, but I know for some of them, I have more recent e-mail address. I hope I don't have to manually add all of them!
Thanks in advance for your help!
All the best,
MARK

Hi Mark, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Sadly, I don't know how to do it for received Mail, but ones you've sent to can be done in Mail. Select Window Menu item>Previous Recipients, press Command-A when the new window appears, and then click Add to Address Book, then in Address Book>Card Menu Item, select look for Duplicates.

Address Book and Mail - Using Groups for e-mail

I've noticed something strange about Mail and Address Book in Tiger:
I created a new Group in Address Book. The Group contains people who are involved in a project. I have names, home addresses and phone numbers for eveyone, but a few people do not have e-mail. When a try using this Group to send out an e-mail message, Mail warns me that John Smith does not appear to have a valid e-mail address. I can't send the message unless I select only those in the group who have e-mail addresses and only send to them. This is a pain.
Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug in Tiger's Address Book and Mail.app? How can I get around this? I have several Groups like this that contain entries with no e-mail.

It's not a bug in Address Book, it's a limitation. Your only way to get around that is to either remove those from the group, or give them all the same email address; i.e., send those to you so you are reminded that they didn't get the email and you have to notify them some other way.
And of course, when sending to more than one person, never put the recipients in the To or CC field; they should always go in the BCC field.

Contact photos are not showing up in Mail message list, even though the message will link to the contact card in Address Book with the photo in it.

I'm using Mail 5.3 and Address Book 6.1.3 on X 10.7.5. I want my contact photos to show up in the message list on Mail, but only some of them do, even though the message will link to the contact card in Address Book with the photo in it. I've even tried replacing a photo that doesn't show up with a photo that does show up for a different contact but no luck. I am syncing to one other Mac, an iPhone and an iPad via iCloud.

Searching Corporate Address book in Convergence 1u3

It appears that searching by surname in the corporate address book is not working in our deployment of convergence: display name and and uid works. This is the value in our iwc config
ab.corpdir.[default].searchattr = entry/displayname,@uid,person/surname
Is that correct, if not what should I set?
TIA,
Dan

Thanks; It appears I had VLV indexes configured on the DS but forgot to set it in convergence

Connect to LDAP with Address Book and Mail

A few months ago, my G5 started up with the address book and mail opened at startup. They are not in startup items, and I cannot get this to stop. Any suggestions?

A few months ago, my power mac G5 began starting up with the address book and mail already open on the desk top.
Neither of these is in my startup items, so I am at a loss as to stop this behavior.
Any suggestions?

Are they in Login items under System Preferences/Users/Login Items?
In the Dock, right click the Address Book and Mail icons, select Options, and make sure "Open at Login" is not selected.

Sharing Address Book with e-mail only accounts

Hello:
I have created two email only account and would like to share the primary address book with these accounts. I have added these accounts in sharing folders and sent the invite.
The main functionality I am looking for is access my contact information via the .mac interface with the email only accounts. I have created the new emails accounts based on the fact Tiger was going to allow the contacts to be shared across multiple accounts.
Can anyone help??

Address Book sharing uses the iDisk to store the contact data. So I am fairly certain that this feature doesn't work with email-only accounts.

Sync Address Book with Google Mail

Since the update to Mac OS X 10.5.3 I expected to sync my Address Book with my Gmail account. But no can do, and I don't know why. Is it just for iPhone users?

There are several ways to do this, but it all depends on whether you prefer a simple solution versus a more technically involved solution. If you're like most non-technical people, I'll assume you prefer the simple solution, so you should check these out and decide which of them you want to use:
Soocial: [www.soocial.com] (currently in closed beta)
Syncman: [wateree.net]
GooSync: [www.goosync.com]
ABGMerge: [homepage.mac.com]
Spanning Sync: [blog.spanningsync.com]
BusySync: [blog.busymac.com]
Or, if you want to go with the technical method that involves no money, just skill and patience, read this article: <http://www.zaphu.com/2008/05/29/how-to-enable-mac-address-book-syncing-with-go ogles-gmail-contacts-without-an-iphone-or-mac/>

Adding address from Mail to Address Book as a Group

I receive email as part of a group, or multiple email addresses. I want to add everyone to my address book as a group.
Do I have to add each individual and then drag them into the group?
I mean if my church choir director sends email to the choir and it shows all the emails, can I just add al my choir mates to my address book and a new Group in my address book?

OK here is the solution to the fix. I simply deleted the account in address book and set it up again.
Working like a charm now.

How Can I Fix Address Book in Mail?

After downloading 10.9 Address Book in Mail no longer works for groups. I can enter individual names from Address book to email, but not names in groups. How can I fix it? Thanks.

Janice, I have a group named 'UGC' - if I type all three letters it does not autofill in the names anymore. This made me very annoyed. But if I type just 'UG' it prompts me with the last letter of the group name and then it does autfill the member names. Weird. This works in To: CC: and BCC: fields
