Different "From" names in Mail

All my mail is forwarded and funneled thruogh gmail, and then to my Mac Mail client. I have configured all my email addresses in the account tab by separating them with a comma. Great. Now I can send mail from all my email addresses... except, they will all show that they are from me, listing my personal name.
I want some of the addresses to be associated with my company name, however, and not my personal name.
How do I go about this?

Unless you really just absolutely want to have your sent emails say they're from "Trevor C" or from "Trevor C's Spouse", you could just delete the full name entry from that account in Mail's Preferences (i.e., set full name field to null), and then any sent messages' "from" address will simply appear as being from [email protected] or from [email protected], depending on which "account" (alias) you selected in the "Account" pull-down menu. This would be, I think, the easiest patch for you to implement.
People who get email from me get mail from "[email protected]" and not from "J.V." Personally, I hate the full name crap and wish there were a way to display the "from" field in my inbound message viewer pane in email address format, rather than full name format. But that's just me.

Tp import eroor: Systems name (DB0) is different from name in TADIR (PA0)

Experts,
I am receiving the error:
ERROR: SAP System not installed properly. Systems name (DB0) is different from name in TADIR (PA0)
when trying to execute the command:
tp import DB0K900022 DB0 client=300 u1268 pf=/usr/sap/trans/bin/TP_DOMAIN_PA0.PFL
I am peforming this from solution manager unix command line. I have a single transport domain where all systems and landscapes(ie. ECC, SRM, BW etc) are included.
I am trying to perform this without having to log on to each system to execute the command and import.
Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

Hello David Carr
Why don't you logon to your domain controller and process the transport request through STMS, if setup correctly you don't have to logon to each seperate SAP system either, you can access each import queue from there.
Kind regards

Two alias in Mail: how to show different "from" names?

I've been reading various threads about aliases in mail, but none have exactly described my situation. What I want to be able to do is set up aliases in my one account and have the mail shown as "from" a different name depending on which alias I've used.
Here's my current set-up:
Account Type: POP
Description: POP account
Email address: [email protected], [email protected]
Full Name: myname & mywifesname
Incoming mail server: pop.domain.com
username: xxxxx
password: xxxxx
outgoing mail server: smtp.domain.com
So, we can each send email "from" our own email address, but they're all marked as from "myname & mywifes name". How do I change it so if I select "[email protected]" the mail is shown as simply from "myname" and vice versa.
I understand from reading other threads that the one thing I can't do is set up a separate account for each, as they will both have the same incoming server and username. (Which was exactly what I could do back in the dark ages of Outlook Express.)

Unless you really just absolutely want to have your sent emails say they're from "Trevor C" or from "Trevor C's Spouse", you could just delete the full name entry from that account in Mail's Preferences (i.e., set full name field to null), and then any sent messages' "from" address will simply appear as being from [email protected] or from [email protected], depending on which "account" (alias) you selected in the "Account" pull-down menu.

Same email address, different 'from' name

Hi - I would like to be able to send an email from ios to a 3rd party and choose who the recipient sees that it comes from, but use the one email address. So 1 'name' is my personal name, 1 is my business name.
I host a domain and I have sent up 2 email accounts in ios with different usernames let's say [email protected] and [email protected] [email protected] is set to divert to [email protected] on a server level, so ALL emails sent to either x or y, go to x. So I have both set up on my Mac, y doesn't get email, so I don't get double ups - when I want to send from a different user name, I just send from the other account.
Now ios has the same ability in theory and when I set it up the same way, it all works BUT the recipient receives the email from my personal name, despite me sending it from my business name???
Anyone have a fix or answer??!!
TIA!!

Hi there
I'm staying at a Novotel in Edinburgh. Their wireless shows up as "Orange France". The BT FON map shows it as a "single hotspot operated by a roaming partner".
While I can select "FON" from the list of providers for login, when I use my @btinternet email address as the login I am denied access.
Should I have a FON account name different from my btinternet email address. Is my FON password the same as my email password?
Thanks
Ben
Hi Ben. Welcome to the forums.
The BTFon access is via the primary email address and associated password.
Does the list of providers actually say BTFon or BTOpenzone ?

Cannot save FROM names in Mail to Address Book

I'm trying to add Address Book entries by opening a mail item, putting my mouse cursor over the FROM address and selecting "Add to Address Book" from the pop-up menu.
This seems to work since I do not see an error message yet when I look into my address book that name does not appear.
If I attempt the same operation, on the same FROM address, I see an option in the menu to Open In Address Book instead of the Add. If I select this option it opens the last address that was highlighted in the address book, which is not the one that I wanted to add.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thank you, Herb

works here.
quit mail and address book and delete the file homedirectory/library/application support/address book/AddressBook-v22.abcddb. then start Address Book and Mail and see if using "open in address book" works now.

Hello, Julie.
Thank you for the question. As the device is registered to the Apple ID, you would simply need to make sure the name is correct on https://appleid.apple.com/. If the name of the device itself is incorrect and you wish to change it, see the article below.

Company name determined from the e-mail id???

Hi,
I read from the following blog that the company names are determined from the e-mail ids given in the business card.
/people/eddy.declercq/blog/2006/06/30/the-firm
Wouldnt it be better to get it from the URL of the company mentioned in the business card? What happens if i use my personal e-mail id for receiving my SDN mails?
Thanks,
Prasath N

In that case their points are not applied to their company whole and when the new changes come out they would not be listed as part of that company.
There are other possibilities we are looking into but any that provide for user input has the inherient problem that someone is going to type if different that you are,
Company Name: ABC Technologies, Inc.
Company Name: ABC Technologies
Company Name: ABC
Company Name: ABC Technologies Inc
Company Name: ABC Technologies Inc.
So what do we do cut it down to "ABC" and take all of that?
Company Name: ABC WorldWide Distributions
Opps now we have another problem.
Email is not easier:
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
Those all work too.
The way we are doing it now is still riddled with the problems that people use their "local" email instead of the global company one or even worse they have no global company one and only local ones so for the company with 120 people spread across 4 countries they all show up under 4 different companies.
So for now if you use a yahoo, gmail, hotmail, etc. you don't get listed and when the changes come out you won't show up under your company name as being part of the contribution of that company.
My question out to all of you is why do you not use your company mail address? You can also set a mail agent to forward your mail to your private account when you go home in the evening.

How do you do a quick transfer of data from one TX to another TX with different user name

I have more than one TX and want to keep most of the information, addresses, media, calendar as well as third party software the same on all my TX's. Is there a way to do this without the long hassle of exporting all that can be exported, and then importing it into each TX. Then adding all the third party software again? I have a new TX and remember how long this takes, so I am hoping for a faster method. I already know how to do a transfer if using the same user name, but this won't work when each will have a different user name in order to hotsync.
This may be a different question. All the TXs will be used and will sync to the same computer via USB, and all are on the Palm Desktop. I want to use them interchangeably. I would also like to keep the information current on all of them, as I now must copy paste any new info (ex. new address) into each via either palm desktop, or beaming to the others. Often this leads to discrepancies of the data between the different TXs.

You might look into a program called "SyncUs" from an author in the UK. It will keep all the PIM data synced between two Palm OS units.

Mail.app Is Showing Wrong "From" Name

I'm having a heck of a time with Mail.app.
The latest bug is that in the list of incoming mail, it occasionally shows the wrong From name. When I open it up, it shows the correct name.
Any ideas?
And I still can't get it to send mail from the proper email address. I has one it likes, and will not deviate.

Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
A folder window will open. Inside it there should be files with names as follows:
          Envelope Index
          ExternalUpdates.storedata
Move those files to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have longer names that begin as above. Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is damaged and that Mail has to quit. Click OK. Typically, the process takes a few minutes, but it may take hours if you have gigantic mailboxes. In that case, you may be able to speed things up by temporarily adding your home folder to the Privacy list in the Spotlight preference pane. Remove it when Mail has finished importing.
Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the files you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

HA-VMM cannot be installed : HAVMM name in db is differs from the user specified HAVMM name

I have a two node HA VMM cluster. This is working correctly and has been for while. I am now attempting to add an additional node to the cluster.
I joined the node to the cluster and then start the VMM install and follow the wizard till it gets to the Database Configuration Page. When I Click Next here nothing happens.
If I check the C:\ProgramData\VMMLogs\SetupWizard.log file I see the following error as the last item.
HA-VMM cannot be installed : HAVMM name in db is differs from the user specified HAVMM name
If I check the S
CVMMCDB01 I find the HAVMMName property with a value of SCVMMC01.domainname This is the same value that is returned when using powershell with Get-SCVMMServer
When I check the cluster configuration it is the same story. I connect to the cluster name scvmmc01.
Even if I look at Cluster Manager I can see the name is tied correctly.
Any ideas would be great as I am effectively now stuck and cannot install another node.

Greetings!
It happened because you renamed your VMM cluster after first node installation.
Juts update HAVMMName value in dbo.tbl_VMM_GlobalSetting. Start SQL Server Management Studio, connect to your VMM DB, and Edit table.

How can I change the from name on my outgoing mail?

How can I change my name in the "from" line on my out going mail..I've tried everything?

What if the Name in Mail preferences, account settings is greyed out? How/where can I change it? It is correct in System Prefernces, Mail contacts and calenders and in the iCloud setting in System Prefences.
The problem is in the mail account preferences!
Thanks for your help!

Mail "From" name displayed oddly

Virtually all my emails, when received from someone in my Address Book, display the From name as "Joe Bloggs" - or whatever, as shown in my Address Book - both in my in-box and in the email itself when the email is opened.
So far, so good.
However, in at least one case the name is displayed correctly in the opened email, but as <[email protected]> and not as Joe Bloggs in my mailboxes. This is by far the minority and most appear as expected.
What have I done wrong with that Address Book entry? It looks fine to me, but I presume that I am overlooking something?
Looking through my Mail folder for this sender, I note that they are all displayed as being from Joe Bloggs, as expected, up to 22 September 2006 and as <[email protected]> since 21 November 2006. That's probably totally irrelevant, but there it is for what it is worth!
I use Mail v2.1 (752/752.2), Address Book v4.0.4 (485.1) and MacOSX.4.8 Build 8L127.

Thanks, Allan.
I infer, therefore that my sender must have changed their details at around the time the change took place? Their email address (a work address) is the same and I haven't, to the best of my knowledge, changed anything at my end - and in any event if it's theor client that makes the call then whatever I did wouldn't make any difference.
Irritating, but at least I know I've [probably] not done anything stupid!
I'm assuming the "Where in Mail" question is aimed at Kevin?

Listener listners to name different from instance_name

Is it possible to configure listener to lister to a name different from instance_name?
For example, if instance_name is INST1, I'd like to make listener be able to listen to name "INST" and know that this is for "INST1"
If possible, this is what TNSNAME at client is
INST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = host)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = INST)
Thanks

Thanks for your reply. Actually my concern is much at client side not on database server side. Please let me expalin what I mean.
The back-end database is 2-node RAC - Two instances INST1 and INST2 on node1 and node2 respectively. Most of our clients will use TAF (Transparent Application Failover) config and use SERVICE_NAME=INST in TNSNAMES.ora. They have no issue connection to RAC database and take advantage of fail over and load baclancing capability.
However, one of clients is legacy app. :-( It does not use oracle client (so not using TNSNAME). It has its own db driver. The only option I allow to enter is hostname + SID. This would work fine with stand alone database (one host + one instance), or I can even connection to specific RAC node (like node 1 + SID=INST1).
But we'd like to take advantage of fail over of having two instances. We would like to connection to one instance and if in case node fails, it will go to other.
We can have a virtual hotname using 3rd party load balancer - it will go to the least load node with host name translation - user connects to virtual host > translate to node 1 or node 2 depending on load. . But since listener on node 1 is listenning to SID_NAME=INST1 and node 2 to INST2, using SID=INST at client in tnsname.ora would not work (get error "ORA-12505: TNS:listener does not currently know of SID", nor I could use SID=INST1 or SID=INST2 becuase it won't be transparent when failover. Ideally I want to use SID=INST in TNSNAMES.ora and, if possible, I'd like the listener on node 1 listens to INST1 as well as INST and node2 listners to INST2 as well as INST. This way client connection will be transparent. Sorry for long explanation. But hopefully I make my situation clearer. Thanks again in advance.

[Mail.app] Manage different "from field" when using aliases

I know how to manage aliases in mail.app
My question is: is there a way to tell to mail.app to use for each alias a different "from field"? or the from field will always be the one of my principal account?
This is an option that Thunderbird and Postbox offer.

In Mail >Preferences>Accounts>Account information
Add as many alias as you want to the Email Address field separated by comma.
This is the most user friendly method for creating different "personalities."
When you create a New Mail it will present you with a From: field in which to choose your alias (personality,) much like multiple signatures.
