Email Addresses Stripped/Altered

I wasn't sure whether to post this in Tiger or iPod Touch Discussions, but I'll try here first.
I bought a 32GB iPod Touch a few days ago. Now that it's synced with my Powermac and MobileMe account, all my contacts email addresses have been stripped of the "@" and ".".
Instead of "[email protected]", it's displayed as "usernameyahoocom". This format shows up on MobileMe, iPod and OS X Mail.
Of course I can't send mail from my computer, iPod or MobileMe account with the altered addresses.
Anyone have an idea what happened ? Thanks!!

Hi Kirk,
Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist.backup
Then see if you can edit back in the @ sign if need be.

Email address being altered for Reply

My reply to an email from a friend, also on Btinternet, wasn't received. When I checked my Sent Mails the message was there but the To address had been changed from "[email protected]" to "[email protected]". The change must have happened at my end when I clicked the Reply button and I have replicated the fault. What is going on?

Hi.
Do you still have the original email ?
Are you sure that the email was from your friend, and not a spammer who by chance has either used the friend's email address as the "From" address, but set a "Reply to" address - or the account has been hacked, and when an email is sent from your friend, a "Reply-To" address has been set.
It's not your end, but your friend. They need to check their settings in email (probably webmail - so use the Options/Mail Options/Mail Accounts, pick the account and see if "reply to address" is set).
They need to alter their password too.

Looking for email address stripping code

Hiya,
I'm looking for a piece of CF code that strips email
addresses from a string. It needs to be smart, so that various
patterns can be detected and stripped.
Ex: [email protected], email at domain dot com, email@ domain
.com, email at domain.com, etc....
Does anybody know if somethng like this already exists?
Thanks.

Ahhh. so you filter the postings to remove their attempt to
circumvent the sharing of email addresses? Got it.
All I can say is, good luck to ya. If people want to share
that kind of information, they will! Just out of curiosity, why
would you even attempt to prevent people from sharing their very
own contact information? Note that I am not arguing, rather curious
about what valid reason anyone would have for attempting to prevent
people from doing what they want with their own information.
What I might suggest is.... Since you probably have their
email address on file from when they registered (at least one of
their email addresses anyway) you should be able to do an
intelligent search for strings that are similar to the email
address that you have on file. So, as opposed to starting with
*nothing* and looking for things that *might* be an intentionally
obfuscated email address, you are least starting with
*something*.

I am having serious issues trying to alter my old iCloud account with an old non-functioning email to my new apple id with a new email address. The message keeps coming up on all my apple products with my old email (which is not available anymore).

I am having serious issues trying to alter my old iCloud account with an old non-functioning email to my new apple id with a new email address. The message keeps coming up on all my apple products with my old email (which is not available anymore).

I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account. I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there. On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back. Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email. The device is currently useless.
The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

Rescue email address is no longer valid, but I cannot see where to alter this

The Three Best Alternatives for Security Questions and Rescue Mail
    1. Use Apple's Express Lane.
          Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services' at the
          bottom of the page. In the next page click 'More Products and Services, then
          'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Forgotten Apple
          ID security questions' and click 'Continue'. Please be patient waiting for the return
          phone call. It will come in time depending on how heavily the servers are being hit.

Help! GW altering CC'd external User email address.

I have external Internet users created per TID 10099059. All that
works well (we see them in our system book and can email them fine)
until some one emails an internal user and has one (or more) of the
users in the external domain CC'd. When the user replies-to-all, the
external user's name now contains the GW domain and PO in it which, of
course is invalid and gets bounced.
Example:
Object ID tomw
external GW domain name= ANZ
external GW po name= NZ
last name= willow
Given Name= tom
internet domain= domain.co.nz
email address= [email protected]
When anyone is sent an email with [email protected] cc'd and
then selects reply to all, his email address is "changed" by GW to
[email protected] Of course this is promply returned because
domain.co.nz has no record of [email protected]

I followed your tid. I noticed your note at the bottom is the exact
issue I am having. I believe I have it configured as you say. Is
there a way I can check the actual config file to make sure the change
really is there? I would be glad to send a pdf'd screen shot of the
area. Thanks.

I recently had to change my email address for the Apple ID and now when the App store comes up it still asks has my old email address and no password will work. What should I taccepts it all fine as does facetime. Help?

I recently changed my email address for the Apple Id and it was accepted but now when the App store comes up it still shows my old email address and no password will work. iCloud and Facetime are fine. Don't know why it stays there or how to alter it.

1. Sign out of old ID
2. Sign in with new ID

How can I see the indivduals in an existing group email address - that I created

I have a group email address on Thunderbird that I created some time ago but have forgotten how to open it up to see who is on it - I need to alter it.
Thanks

click on 'Address Book'
A sub group known as a Mailing List will be a sub group to an address book.
If Mailing Lists are not showing, click on the small arrow to the left of the address book containing the Mailing List.
See image below - example shows I have a 'Test' Masiling list as a sub group to 'Personal Address Book'
Then select the Mailing list to see who is in that Mailing List.
Removing contacts from a Mailing list does not remove them from the associated address book.
Removing them from the associated address book will remove them from both address book and Mailing list.
You can drag and drop new contacts into a Mailing List, but they do need to have a valid email address.

In Earthlink WebMail when inserting an email address or weblink, the text no longer turns blue and underlines, and I can't change font colors. IE Works.

Whenever I try to insert an email address or a link to a website, I no longer get the automatic hyperlink (turning blue and underlining). Also if I try to change the font color on some text it either doesn't change from black or it changes to a different color. (If I try to change to red, I get dark green; change to a bright green, I get dark red; change to blue or yellow, I get black).
I tried removing and reinstalling Firefox to no avail. Earthlink is clueless.
This all works properly using Internet Explorer.

When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
(You also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now")
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first) using either of these. While viewing a page on the site:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
These features rely on JavaScript, and it sounds as though you have scripting enabled if you get (the wrong) color changes. Some add-ons might alter the way scripts operate, so a standard diagnostic to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings) is to try Firefox's Safe Mode.
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [[Backing up your information]]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, restart Firefox in Firefox's Safe Mode ([[Safe Mode]]) using
Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode."
If those features work correctly, this points to one of your extensions or custom settings as the problem.
To also disable plugins, you can use this page:
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Add-ons > Plugins category
Any change?

How do i remove email addresses that have been imported from my email account?

Im not sure how i did it but somehow i have a ton of email addresses in my contacts and I want to remove them....Is there a way to do this without have to remove them one at a time.....I hardly send anyone emails from my contact list and would love to get my list back to just people with phone numbers....
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!

Select each photo in the smart collection with the missing question mark icon. Use Cmd+Click or Shift+Click on the first and last if they are all in a consecutive block. Then click top left on the Catalog tab and choose All Photographs. Confirm from the information strip (above the filmstrip) that you are in All Photographs and the number of photos you have selected and then use the menu:
Photo >> Remove Photos From Catalog

Changing email address in digital signature - possible?

I have changed my work email address; the old one had too long a URL. I'd like to completely deactivate the old email address account, but I can't figure out how to change the email address that shows up in my digital signature that I use in Acrobat. Can this be done?

You cannot alter an existing one, but you can create a new digital ID and specify your new address.

Primary Email Address Problem

Apologies in advance for the long post.
I could post this query in a variety of locations - MAS/iTunes Store/iCloud - but the area it's actually causing a problem is Apple Support Communities.
For several days I have been virtually unable to log in here because I have to constantly verify/re-submit my Primary Email Address in My AppleID.
Every time I try to login I get presented with the screen saying 'Report Account Issue', telling my to go to 'My Apple ID' to check my details. I follow the link and have to re-submit my previously verified email address. This normally allows me to then login - until the next time when I have to repeat the process.
I've lost count of the times I've been to my My Apple ID, my iTunes Store Account, MAS and edited my ID re-inputting the email address - it just never gets remembered. Seems to forget the email address as soon as I've input it.
I'm in touch with the Community Hosts and the iTunes Store but think I might have a long wait for a resolution. Just hoping that someone here may have some ideas. I may be a coincidence but this seems to have occurred straight after installing the latest version of iTunes a few days ago.
I've tried clearing caches and cookies and deleting items in the Keychain. Tried loggin in from other computers and iOS devices - same problem.
If anyone has got any suggestions on how to make my primary email address get remembered like it used to I'd be extremely grateful.

Hi Folks
Have a problem with my primary email address! when I try to send an email prior to my email address the words Honda Award appear, this appears to convert my email to spam. It is only for this email address other sub accounts are fine and it is not limited to one computer as if I log on on my sons laptop the same header appears but my sons emails do not have the problem. Any suggestions what to do to remove this tried a variety of anti virus and malware options none find anything wrong. thanks in hope

Hi.
Are you using webmail, or a mail client program such as Outlook, Thunderbird, Windows Mail ?
It seems like you may be using webmail, in which case within webmail :-
Options/Mail (or More) Options/Accounts. Click on the BTYahoo! account item or if already showing look at the "From Name".
You can alter this to suit.
However, even with "Honda Award" appearing, it should not necessarily cause emails to be spam.
If you have never set this item like this, then it could be that your account has been hacked. Also go to POP & Forwarding to make sure nothing is set in the forwarding area. If it is, then make a note of the email address and then you can inform the abuse desk of the actual mail address hosts.
