Duplicate names in e-mail

This isn't a big problem but it's very annoying. Different names in my address book like "John Smith" appear as John Smith Smith. This happens to at least two or three random names and I edit them EVERYTIME and still either those names or other names suddenly appear in the mail window with a double last name. As I mentioned, it doesn't affect anything but it looks rather stupid when I send mail to somebody with a double last name. This hapens over and over agian no matter how many times I edit the names correctly in my address book. The next day the same names or different ones will have two last names.

Dylanmusic,
Have you ever synced it in the past? Did you rename, move or delete your Application Support folder, Library folder or SyncServices folder? If so that could have caused the issue as discussed in this article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301920
Also sometimes software will sync with it without letting the user know. Do you have Entourage installed? If so, in its preferences turn off the sync services options. After making that change in Entourage, or if you don't have Entourage: Open iSync, go to Preferences and click on Reset Sync History.
Make the corrections to your address book and they should not get changed again.
If they get changed again, back up your Address Book entries, or export them to vCard before we troubleshoot further.
Hope this helps,
Nathan C.

  • How do I find duplicate messages in Apple Mail?

    Hi,
    How do I find (and delete) duplicate messages in Apple Mail ?
    I will have to verify about 1000 messages in different mailboxes, all in Apple Mail.
    My system: Mail 4.5 (1084) and Leopard 10.6.8.
    Many thanks,
    D.M.

    in any window on a mac, if you just type a letter on the keyboard, the selection in that window will go to a file beginning with that name.   In Eudora, if mail window was sorted by NAME and you typed "E" the selection would move to the last email received from a person who's NAME began with "E",  if you typed "El" it would move to the most recent email received from a person named "El"  if you typed "Ela"  the selection would move to the most recent email received from a person named "Ela".   If mail was sorted by SUBJECT, it would move to the SUBJECT with those same beginning letters.   In mac mail the selection doesn't pick the most recent email, but a completely random one, and it doesn't differentiate between subjects and senders.   If I type "josh" it goes to an email with subject: josh, from 2011, not the most recent email from my friend josh that I got yesterday, even though I have my mail sorted by name.   If I type "Karen", selection moves to an email received from Karen in 2010, not the one I received 2 weeks ago.    In other words, it's completely random and useless. 
    only way to find something in macmail is to type a name into search box, then organize by name, then scroll to that name, only sometimes those name emails are not sorted by date, so you have to look through to find the most recent one.  then once you found it, you need to delete what's in the search box, and reset the sortation to be by date in order to have a chronological listing of you emails.  In other words, many complicated steps instead of one simple one. 

  • Duplicates of all incoming mail!

    I have a two week old G4 iBook running Tiger. Incoming mail just started to duplicate itself. New mail shows up in the "In Box" and less than a minute later a duplicate of the message also shows up in the "In Box". This is not happening with my G5 which is picking up mail from the same ISP. Help!

    You appear to have indeed set up the same mail account twice in Mail (I wonder why), so it should be no surprise that you’re receiving every message twice...
    I believe the User Name in the case of .Mac should be the part of the email address that precedes the @ sign, but what you’ve described would indicate that .Mac accepts the full email address there as well.
    You should delete one of the two mail accounts and leave the other alone. What does Mail show in Preferences > Accounts > Account Information > Account Type for each of them? I ask because deleting a POP account would cause the messages stored in that account’s mailboxes to be deleted from the computer as well...

  • I want to sync my I phone user name (my current e-mail address) with my iPad, PC user name (old e-mail address.) If I delete that current address in the iPhone, won't I also be deleting it in my other devices? They are synced. I don't want to lose it

    I want to sync my I phone user name (my current e-mail address) with my iPad, PC user name (old e-mail address.) If I delete that current address in the iPhone, won't I also be deleting it in my other devices? They are synced. I don't want to lose it. I just want to get it out of the way on my iphone so it doesn't confuse the transfer of ID names and then I want it back again..      I tried deleting the cloud account, being told the current e-mails would be spared. But all it did was pop up a prompt asking me for the password to my still current email ID. So I assume now that I have to go to mail and get rid of the e-mail account. But I'm scared I'll lose everything in my other devices too.

    You can change the email address you use as your apple ID. this doesn't mean you have to delete the old email address as email.
    When you delete an email from your device, it is only removed from the device, it does not delete your emails or the email account.

  • Mail Inbox all Emails do not display sender's name or E-mail address

    After the last update in my Mail all the sender's names or E-mail addresses changed into No Sender. They are real E-mails not spam or junk E-mails. Once I open the E-mail I can see the Sender's name and E-mail address. It is very inconvenient not being able to see who is the sender befoer openning it. How do i fix this?
    Thank you.

    I am fighting with the same problem. In conversation mode my reply shows me as "From" on the left pane. I switched to Classic view which makes life a bit easier as I can see the "Subject" line and guess that this is an email I'm searching for. Can't find the way to put name of the Sender who started conversation in the info summary on the left.

  • How do I get rid of duplicate "in" and "sent" mail boxes?

    I have installed a new version of Thunderbird on a new machine and used Easy Transfer to move my mail boxes etc from my old machine. The problem is that I now have duplicate "in" and "sent" mail boxes. New in and sent mail only appears in one of them but I can't delete the other. I have deleted all messages in the extra "in" box (they were all duplicates) but have not been able to do the same with the messages in the duplicate "sent" box because the "deleted" folder where they would go is not big enough to take the 16000 messages in there (when I "select all" and "delete" it just says "deleted folder is full" when in fact there's nothing in it; I am assuming this just means it would not take all the messages to be deleted). Help please!

  • I "reply"ed to an e-mail message. The next time when I chose to write a new message and type the first letter of the person I replied to earlier, that name and e-mail address appears as a choice included in a pop up list of my contacts.

    I "reply"ed to an e-mail message. The next time when I chose to write a new message and type the first letter of the person I replied to earlier, that name and e-mail address appears as a choice included in a pop up list of my contacts. The persons name is not in my contacts and I would like to delete it from popping up. Do you know how I can do this?

    The Mail app on the iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch does have an option to clear previous recipients. You can learn to live with it.  But if you want to get rid of it, the only way to remove these cached email addresses from the Mail application is restoring the iPhone/iPod Touch as a new phone/iPod.  If you restore from backup, the cache is also restored.
    This article shows you the screens you will see during the restore:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

  • Birthday calendar for only some of my contacts are showing up twice in my iPhone. They are not showing up twice tho on my iMac. No, I do not have duplicate names in my address book either. Any idea how to fix that?

    I have uploaded the InDesign file so that you can take a closer look at:
    http://www.hsdesign.comuf.com/downloads/
    The file is called "Template_File.indd"
    So, as discussed the main issues are:
    1) The TOC doesn't generate all the listings (only those with the applied paragraph style "Heading 1 - Appendix")
    2) When I try to create a new pargraph style and apply it to existing or new text, it reads the pargraph style in the Paragraph Style menu, but the style doesn't actually apply.
    Hopefully you can figure something out from this. I really appreciate your help.
    Thanks!

    Hi adil,
    Service principal names (SPNs) are stored as a property of the associated account object in Active Directory

    Hi K Fatima,
    I read your solution.I have a similar requiement but I need to send the entire output payload as an attachment,so I am using XSLT to send the payload as an attachment.
    I am creating the file name through dynamic configuration in XSLT but the name of attachment is not as required but its any random generated name:
    *code used:*
    <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format" xmlns:map="java:java.util.Map"
      xmlns:dyn="java:com.sap.aii.mapping.api.DynamicConfiguration"
      xmlns:key="java:com.sap.aii.mapping.api.DynamicConfigurationKey">
    <xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" />
    <xsl:output indent="yes" />
    <xsl:param name="inputparam"/>
    <!-- mail parameters -->
    <xsl:template match="*">
    <ns:Mail xmlns:ns="http://sap.com/xi/XI/Mail/30">
    <xsl:variable name="new-value" select="Shipment/InternalShipmentNum"/>
    <Subject>Mail</Subject>
    <From>xyz</From>
    <To>abc</To>
    <xsl:variable name="dynamic-conf" 
            select="map:get($inputparam, 'DynamicConfiguration')" />
        <xsl:variable name="dynamic-key"  
            select="key:create('http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File', 'Directory')" />
        <xsl:variable name="dynamic-value"
            select="dyn:get($dynamic-conf, $dynamic-key)" />
        <xsl:variable name="new-value"    
            select="concat($dynamic-value, 'subfolder\')" />
        <xsl:variable name="dummy"
            select="dyn:put($dynamic-conf, $dynamic-key, $new-value)" />
    <!--Content type -->
    <Content_Type>application/xml</Content_Type>
    <!Content Description>
    <Content_Disposition>attachment;filename "<xsl:copy-of select="$new-value"/>"</Content_Disposition>
    <!--Content Disposition -->
    <Content_Description><xsl:copy-of select="$new-value"/></Content_Description>
    <Content>
    <xsl:copy-of select=".">
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
    </xsl:copy-of>
    </Content>
    </ns:Mail>
    </xsl:template>
    </xsl:stylesheet>
    Please suggest ! I need the value in "Shipment/InternalShipmentNum" as name of attachment.
    Thanks in advance!

  • How to ENABLE detection of duplicate messages in Mavericks Mail?

    Hello,
    There was a good discussion of how to disable detection of duplicate messages in Lion mail - https://discussions.apple.com/message/18265121#18265121
    but unfortunately nothing seems to work to turn them ON in Mavericks.
    In Lion or Mt. Lion I do see duplicate messages - but in Mavericks I do not - but I want to see if there are duplicates for a variety of reasons.
    In the post referenced above none of the command line suggestions seem to make a difference. My mail perference settings are idential on each system, be it Lion, Mr. Lion or Mavericks. Settings as follows:
    Please note 'include related messages' seems to make no difference either way.
    Can anyone please tell me how to display duplicates in Mavericks. Thank you very much in advance.
    E.

    As a quick update, the following command DOES in fact show the duplicates in the mail folder:
              defaults write com.apple.mail AlwaysShowDuplicates -bool true
    So, if there are two exact messages (one sent to me at [email protected] and one forwarded to that email address and sent to me at [email protected], BOTH will show up as separate messages.
    But to be clear, what I want to see is a single message with the '1 Duplicate' indicated in the message header.
    Any way to do that in Mavericks?
    Again, thanks in advance.
