Default to wrong address

The Mail system has memorized email addresses that are out of date or that I don't want to use. When I type in a name or group list, it defaults to the wrong address.
In one case I have a group name in my address book that I cannot get it to default to and it consistently goes to one with similar words, but not even in the same order that is set up on another company's lists. This is even though I have not used that address in a year and I use the group from my address book a few times a week. In other instances those I've corresponded with have changed their email addresses, but the system keeps choosing the old one.
How can I delete email addresses I don't want to ever use from "Mail's Memory"?

Hello Margaret.
The Mail.app stores all message recipients in the List of Previous Recipients in Mail.
The Mail.app autofill feature pulls from the Address Book and the list of Previous Recipients in Mail.
At the Mail.app menu bar, go to Window and select Previous Recipients.
A previous recipient already entered in the Address Book will have a vCard icon to the left of the name or email address. You can remove a previous recipient from the list or add a previous recipient to the Address Book that is not already entered.
Removing a previous recipient from the list has no effect on Address Book entries.

  • Default "from" email address in Mail?

    How do you set which of your email addresses is the default for a new message?   Mine seems to be unpredictable, and I end up sending emails from the wrong address sometimes.
    Thanks

  • Setting default outgoing email address

    I have multiple email addresses that I use in Mail, on my MacBook. Most of them are gmail accounts. Two are godaddy accounts, with personal domain names. I want to have a "main" one (a gmail account) that all my mail goes out from. If I'm in the "wrong mailbox," it goes out from that mailbox, hence getting missed by people, who have rules set up to look for email from my main email address.
    So, I followed the instructions, in the help setting, which said:
    How to change the default account and "From" address
    Mac OS X 10.0 through 10.1.5
    The default account when composing a new message in Mail is the one listed first in the Description column of Mail Preferences. To change this default, you only need to change the order of the names.
    Follow these steps:
    1. Choose Mail > Preferences.
    2. Click Accounts.
    3. Drag account names in the Description column to change their order. The account that is listed first is the default account that is used whenever you open a new mail window.
    Mac OS X 10.2 and later
    The "From" address for a new message will generally be the same as the "To" address of the message that is currently selected. If no message is selected, then the "From" address associated with the currently selected mailbox will be used, if there is one. Otherwise, the default "From" address will be used as described above.
    This is not so, so 10.6.3 Mac OS X. Does anyone know how to make my "main" address the default outgoing email address, whatever address box is highlighted?
    Thanks in advance!!!!!

    Hi,
    Mail > Preferences > Composing > Send New Messages From. This will be your default address for all outgoing e-mails.

  • How to set default Reply-To address

    i'm using mac mail 3.6.
    occasionally I get email bouncing back as undeliverable and the reply to address is not my email address.
    is there a way to create a default Reply-To adress as in Entourage?

    I don't know why this happened. this is some weirdness on the other end with the server that bounced your emails. but the emails did come back, right? do you have any evidence that when people reply to your emails regularly they are actually sent to wrong addresses? if not you should leave it alone. I don't believe there is anything wrong with your mail.
    P.S.to test this further select any message in your sent folder and go to view menu->message->raw source. does it have any weird emails in it? because a reply will based on the address contained in the raw source of your message. if there is nothing strange there the problem is on the other end as I said.

  • NVI0 got wrong address

    Hello there,
    i hope someone knows this better than me:
    I have sometimes the "wrong" address on the NVI0 Interface. i use the "old" nat configuration with nat inside and nat outside. sometimes the address of the nvi is the one from a local loopback (then everything works, like ospf between two routers) and the next router has the outside interface address on the nvi. how is this decision made?

    Hello,
    NVI is enabled and it takes ip address from the interface under which you configure "ip nat enable"
    in your first example if you check you should see "ip nat enable" under interface loopback10 and for second example under interface FastEthernet0/0 .
    Also check follwoing link:

  • Photo book shipped to wrong address...

    Hi All: I recently ordered 2 photo books through iPhoto, cost about $120, but they were shipped to the wrong address. I live in NY and they were sent to CA. I called FedEX to complain, but it turns out that Apple put the wrong address on the package. Has anyone else had/heard-of this happening? I'm now waiting for my email from iPhoto support to hear how they will fix this problem, but was curious as to whether or not other occurrences were easily and quickly rectified. Thanks for any info.
    -Dave

    Dave:
    Report that to Apple at http://www.apple.com/support/iphoto/customerservice/orderbooks/. They have been very good at correcting problems like that.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • How do you recall a photo sent to wrong address?

  • Mail Contact Resolves to Wrong Address

    Hello, I have a user that is sending a message to a email address and something is resolving the email address to the wrong address. 
    First of all, the email address in question is a mail contact on our system and is in the GAB. The SMTP email address of this mail contact is correct in both AD and the GAB. 
    Secondly, the users'  Outlook has all invalid autocomplete entries removed for this email address. The user
    does have the recipient save in his Outlook Contacts but does not have an email address listed there, just his name and phone number. 
    So, what it looks like is happening is that the user is typing in the correct email address in the TO: field, but when he sends the message something
    is resolving to this other email address, an address that is not defined anyway. 
    Any ideas? Exchange 2010/Outlook 2010

  • I'm trying to reset my apple ID password but forgot my security questions. Apple are sending the confirmation e-mail to the wrong address, please help?

    I'm trying to reset my apple ID password but forgot my security questions. Apple are sending the confirmation e-mail to the wrong address, please help?

    Hello AndrewsAFCx,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    If you cannot remember your security questions for your Apple ID, I would recommend these steps outlined in the article named:
    Apple ID: All about Apple ID security questions
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5665
    What should I do if I don't remember the answers to my Apple ID security questions?
    Try answering them at least once to see if you can get them right, even if you are not sure you remember the answers to your security questions.
    If you are confident you can't remember them, try one of the following:
    If you have three security questions and a rescue email address
    sign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to send an email to your rescue email address to reset your security questions and answers. 
    If you have one security question and you know your Apple ID passwordsign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to reset your security question.
    If you have one security question, but don't remember your Apple ID password
    contact Apple Support for assistance. Learn more about creating a temporary support PIN to help Apple confirm your identity when you contact Apple Support.
    Note: If you have forgotten your password and answer your security questions incorrectly too many times in a row, you will be unable to try to answer your security questions for a period of time. During that time you will not be able to reset your password and will not have access to your account.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • Purchase Order - Default Ship-To Address

    Hello,
    We are trying to change our default ship-to address for our PO's in SAP but we are having issues.  Even though we have changed the default ship-to address in the Business Partner Card, the Ship-To address field still appears as "DC, USA" which is not even the full address listed in the Admin>Company Details field. Is there another "warehouse" default ship-to field somewhere that we are missing? Please advise on how to change our default ship-to address for all PO's moving forward. Thank you.

  • Pay Vendor bill-to address not default bill-to address prints default addr

    Customer has vendors with multiple bill-to addresses. They can create an AP invoice and select an address other than the default which works fine. When they go to pay the vendor, the check does not print the bill-to address on the AP invoice. It prints the BP default bill-to address. If you open checks for payment it brings in the default address and not the address you put on the AP invoice. Is there any way to change this? Why would we use multiple bill-to addresses if we can only pay the default?

    I must have mistated the problem. The pld is printing exactly what is on the Checks for Payment window. The problem is when you create an Outgoing Payment - either manually or through the Payment Wizard, the mailing address on the AP invoice changes to the default mailing address in BP Master Data no matter what is on the AP invoice. You have to manually change the address back to the billing address on the AP invoice if it is not the default. Is there a setting I am missing, Is this a bug or is this by design. If by design it does not make sense to have multiple bill-to addresses in one vendor.

  • How do I setup my default E~mail address, have tried tool/options window w/ no luck.

    I hate to reference microsoft IE8, but they have a default E~mail address that some web sites utilize. So far I have not been able to set-up one on Firefox, the Tool/option/send link does not work for me, nor does the applications window from the above options.

    Sorry, but this is getting above my level of experience with Firefox. I use Gmail which is supported, and I never had to dig into it this deep.
    Firefox would offer Outlook Express as the first "option", but since Win7 doesn't have Outlook Express as earlier versions of Windows did, that option shows up as Internet Shortcut Shell Extension DLL instead. ''(I get that too, with the "tiny" version of WinXP - ''sans OE'' - I currently use.)'' I have no idea how that Shell Extension DLL works.
    The support page that I hyperlinked has this at the bottom: <br />
    Firefox 3.5 and Firefox 3.6 include only Gmail and Yahoo! Mail support by default. You may add other services when they add support for this Firefox feature. <br /> ''I think Mozilla was counting on extension developers "picking up the slack" with an extension or extensions for each web mail service out there. But the way I see it, is that when Mozilla changed the way this works for Firefox 3.5 the few extensions that already did that were broken, and then there wasn't anything users had to use after the changes. IMHO, that was half-finished by Mozilla. They probably should have left that as it was in Firefox 3.0 or 2.0, instead of leaving the "completion" of this feature to 3rd party developers.''
    You need to an extension to be able to use MSN or Hotmail. Look for a suitable extension in this AMO search.<br />
