Email addresses and address book problems...

Since upgrading to Snow Leopard:
1) Could not add a name to a group
2) Group list disappeared!
3) Email addresses are being assigned to wrong names, even though are correct in address book! I use .mac/mobile me...causing emails to be sent to the wrong people or the wrong names to appear in the "To:....."
Anyone have this problem and if so how did you resolve?

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions..
Try rebuilding the mailbox.
From the Mac Mail Menu Bar, click Mailbox / Rebuild.
Takes a few minutes to run.
If that doesn't help, go to Mail/Preferences. Make not of the preferences under each tab then Quit Mail and locate this file.
~/Library/Preferences. Move that .plist file to the Trash and restart your Mac.

  • Email/Address Book Problem Web Surfing Problem?

    Hi,
    I'm new to this group but I'm hoping someone here can help me. I have a PowerMac G3 running OS 9.2 and Internet Explorer 5 with SBC DSL. I do email in Internet Explorer and until last week it was great. Suddenly every time I try to get into my address book I get a blank page it freezes. If I try to forward or reply and click on To or CC and get into my address book that way, I get only a couple of address in teeny tiny print (like about 6 point) and I can't insert them. Now I also own an IBM laptop so I can do my email that way, but I'm finding this really annoying. I've called SBC twice and they say it's a browser problem and something in my browser needs to be reset and I should call Apple. So I called Apple and was told that my computer is "vintage" and they won't service it. So I'm out of options since I've done Norton's and all the things I know how to do and none of them have solved the problem. The girl at SBC had me lower the settings on the Norton's AntiVirus because she thought that was interfering with the internet but nothing has changed.
    I'd be happy to upgrade to a newer browser but I don't think anything else will run with OS 9...everything I've looked at seems to require OS X which won't work in this computer.
    Any ideas? Please help! Thanks!
    Susan

    Internet Explorer is not an email program but a browser. Therefore, I am going to assume you are using Outlook Express as your email client.
    If you are not already doing so, you should be using the latest version of Outlook Explorer for your current OS system.
    Regarding your email problem, as I do not use OE, until some knowledgeable users come in her who do use OE, suggest that you check out Unofficial Outlook Express FAQ & Outlook Express 5.0 For Macs as there maybe something in those links that may be of some help.
    Also you are using a too old version of IE (Internet Explorer) version 5. The latest version for your current OS system is 5.1.7 which can be downloaded from the following link:
    Internet Explorer v5.1.7
    "WARNING:" Microsoft ended support for Internet Explorer for Mac on December 31st, 2005, and is not providing any further security or performance updates.
    Accordingly, as of January 31st, 2006, Internet Explorer for the Mac is no longer available for download from Microsoft.
    In view of the above, strongly suggest that you install some backup broswers:
    Mozilla v1.3.1(Wamcom)
    Netscape Browser Archive
    Netscape v7.0.2
    MacUpdate-NC v7.0.2
    iCab v3
    Opera v6.0.3

    Lightroom 5.2 eMail address book doesn't work

    Being sorry really doesn't help. I'm running Windows 64bit and the address book function for eMail doesn't work. I installed 5.3 beta - no help!
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.
    Well, SVHudson, what did you expect to get from your first post? There was no information at all, not even a question. We are not mind readers here.
    Why didn't you start with the information you are providing now, which, even though it is still not complete, at least gives a hint of what your problem is?

  • Why does my Verizon email address book use 'Nickname' as key sorting field ?

    I'm a new Verizon email user and have just created my Verizon email address book from my Microsoft Office Outlook  (not Outlook Express) Contacts file, using the TrueAssistant application that Verizon provides for folks moving to Verizon from another email ISP. Earlier, a  Verizon Tech Support chat-line staffer assured me  it was NOT possible to move my email contacts from Office to the Verizon address book; I guess he wasn't familiar with TrueAssistant.   :-( 
    The conversion seemed to go over fine, but when I then looked at my newly-created Verizon address book,  in every case  the last name of each contact was stored in the 'Nickname' field , and the first name was completely missing.  When I manually replaced some of the first names in their proper fields and removed the nicknames, the application didn't know what to do with the contact.
    Has anyone else had this problem in using TrueAssistant to move contacts from Outlook into Verzon's email address book?
     Is it  even possible to see both the first and last names in the display of the Contacts file (or any sub-Group)? And if so, how do I do it? I don't see any way to specify how I want to display t address book entries. Would appreciate some help. Thanks and Happy New Year!

    Solved!

    I've never used the TrueSwitch software, but I've never had to. You can export your contacts from Outlook, Outlook Express, etc. into a .csv file and import them directly to your verizon.net account. If you log into your verizon.net account and go to your contacts list there's an Import Contacts button.
    If you need any assistance with that process let me know, I can try to provide a step-by-step for your client.
    As for sorting by name, this functionality does not appear to be available in the "Basic Interface" of Verizon's webmail. Switching to the "Rich Interface" causes the name to be displayed in a Last, First format and sorting by name is an option.
    Hope this helps!

  • How do I get an export tool for my email address book?

    In past years there was an export tool in my email address book.
    I recently went to export and the tool was no longer on the tool bar, nor was the import tool.
    I would like to have this tool.

    When I open my inbox, across the header are the words Mozilla Thunderbird.
    Have I sent my question to the wrong community support group?

    click on the info tab and select the items you wish to sync to your iPod.

    Oops browser is blocking popups - error msg - comes up when I try to access my email address book.
    How do I stop this from happening?

    To turn off pop-up blocking for a site, you could try this (open the dialog using either of these):
    * right-click a page on the site > View Page Info > Permissions tab
    * while viewing the site: Tools menu > Page Info > Permissions tab
    Under Open Pop-up Windows, uncheck "Use Default" and click the bubble for "Allow", then close that dialog.

  • Microsoft outlook email address book

    How do I synchronize my microsoft email address book to my Blackberry?  I really don't want to manually type in all of those addresses. Thanks!

    Using Desktop Manager, use the Sync application to setup your sync of your BB contacts Address Book to the desired application on your PC. I believe the one you refer to is compatible.

    It's possible that Outlook doesn't understand multiple contact vCards.
    If that's the case, use vCard Splitter:

  • Offline Address Book problem with Outlook

    Hi all.
    A strange issue is occuring in my company. Few of my users do not appear in the Offline Address Book in Outlook (in cached mode) but they do appear in the Global Address list in Online Mode or OWA. I have tried to delete the oab files from the local workstation
    and downloading the OAB again with no luck. What I find strange is that if I open the udetails.oab file from the user appdata directory with a text editor then I can find the users in there !
    So in short, if the Offline Address Book oab files include all users, why isnt Outlook able to find them ?
    Regards,
    Fred.

    Well, I got in touch with Microsoft regarding this issue and it turns out that this is not an Address Book problem as such. The problem is that there is a certain size limit to the Active Directory user object. When that size limit is
    reached, users stop to display correctly (or not at all) in the Offline Address Book. There is a Hotfix available for Outlook 2010 that overrides that limit and a Hotfilx for Outlook 2007 is expected in April.
    The root cause is in our case that we have a certificate authority issuing user certificates. When users log on to multiple machines they get issued multiple certificates which pile up and finally their AD user object exceeds this
    size limit. The quick fix is simply to remove the certificates from the user account in ADUC (Advanced Mode - Published Certificates). When the Offline Address Book has been rebuilt and downloaded all works fine and all users are displayed... The real solution
    is to reconfigure the certificate templates not to reenroll new certificates if a duplicate one exists but that requires some considerations based on the needs of your environment.
    Hi FMG,
    I am having the same GAL issue with only 2 users; however I’m having some further issues. As you suggested, I checked the users published certificates except
    that there were no certificates listed for the users at all. 
    Have you had any luck with a response from a Microsoft rep for this issue, or can you provide any further assistance?

  • Importing address book problem

    Hi, hope someone can help.
    I'm trying to import an address book from a Virgin pay as you go SIM into a Blackberry Pearl 8110.  I can see the address book when I view the 'SIM address book' option and can dial out from here and the view is very basic not the normal BB address book view.  But I can't SMS from this SIM address book. 
    I've used the wizard to try and import the contacts into the BB address book but it just imports the contact names but not the numbers.  If I try and select oneof these names nothing happens, its like the address book has frozen.  I also cannot open the menu option when in address book either unless I delete all the individual names that have been imported, then I can select the menu option. 
    I've also tried adding a contact from scratch on the BB but as soon as I save the data (just name and number) it again goes into freeze and I cant open that contact even though I have just entered it.
    If someone sends me an SMS I can reply to it directly from the SMS, but cant create a new SMS taking a contact number from the address book.  It just wont open the contact list. 
    I've just unlatched the BB so I can use it as a phone using Virgin PAYG credit I have.
    Can anyone help with this contact address book problem?
    Cheers J

    What does that mean?
    It is always helpful to receive help, to include your exact BlackBerry device model # and carrier name, so that when you have a question, that information won't need to be asked up front. Also, stating your device Operating System version is normally another common question, found on your BlackBerry at Options > About, third line down, looks like "v4.x.x.xxx"
