  • N9 email from name, where is the option?

    In the Mail app I'm trying to send email with a custom name and custom email address. I set up Other mail account (IMAP/SMTP). This worked fine in Nokia E55 for example (custom from name and address). In N9, I don't find any place to change the sender email address and also the name inserted into Accounts -> Other mail account -> My name doesn't seem to have any effect. The messages are sent just by the IMAP email address (no full name). Outgoing mail server username doesn't have effect on the visible from field either.
    Where are the working sender options?

    yes, this is a draw-back for sure.
    i found a way around it.
    first, it sounds like you are only able to send from the IMAP email that you set as the default.
    in order to change the "from" email address, you will need to tap the "down arrow" under the subject, there you will see the "from" and you can tap and change it there.
    there seems to be an issue with the signiture not working correctly, so it will not change from what your default email signiture says. so if you want to have the correct signiture, then you will need to go to the inbox of the email account and then tap the + for a new email from there.
    as for changing what you want it to show...
    i cannot make the email show "Jim Hoyle", but lets say your email is [email protected] and you want people to actually see [email protected], then you would do that during setup.
    when setting up the account, type in [email protected] and use an incorrect password.
    once it fails, then tap manual and change all the data you need to for the correct settings. now when you send an email, in the 'from' area on the recievers end, it will show [email protected]
    hope that helps.

  • Removing email from server issue

    I have a new iMac and I am having problems with email (settings).
    I have the iMac and macbook both running yosemite and both have/share the main email account. the macbook email has the setting to remove email from server, but the iMac doesn't. When I use the remove now on the macbook to clear it off the server, it deletes them from my iMac (just inbox not junk)? I though once they are on the iMac they would be here, and the remove would just remove them from the host mail server?
    I'd like to be able to control the removal from the iMac (not macbook). Anybody else had this issue, and how can I get the settings to appear on my iMac mail pref window to control it there?

    See my reply to the message:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2557520?start=15&tstart=0
    The problem is that the POP3 client does not issue a DELE command to remove the email from the server.

  • Email "from" name is incorrect

    I am experiencing something that I have never seen before.
    Situation:  I create an email message and send it to a group.  I am part of that group, so I am also a recipient of that message.  When the message arrives in my in-box the "from" field shows the message to be from someone else (this person happens to be a customer).  When I click on the message, it shows to be from me.  I asked a friend if this was occurring on their message from me and they said no, so it appears to be some sort of internal name substitution going on in me email system.  Ideas?  Your input is much appreciated.

    Thanks!  This was helpful.  I had looked there before and my name was listed correctly.  Your comment prompted me to check the contact of the other person who was showing up.  Apparently I had accidentally cut/pasted my email address to become one of her work email addresses (the first one listed).  I deleted that, and it corrected the problem.  Thanks again. 

  • N96 Email User name issue

    I have my N95 8gb set up with 3 email accounts and they all send and receive just fine.
    I have replicated a 3 on my N96 updated and running latest v11 software to find that there appears to be a software problem.
    The 'user name' field allows you to enter what looks like at least 40+ character 'user name' however it only saves 30 odd characters - cutting off anything after that when you exit the menu's. (Sometimes jumps back to main front screen)
    This is a issue as my user name is 35 characters long.
    Anyone else have the same problem; any ideas ?
    If anyone at Nokia is reading please can you advise ?
    Thx

    For sure people can get confused with user names and email addresses - it does change per provider; sometimes yor email address is the same as your user name and sometimes the two are different.
    100% certain the issue exists and needs resolving by Nokia.
    (I have experience of setting these settings up many times on various devices - phones, PC's & MAC's - I can set up the account in question on my Nokia N95 8GB, my Nokia 6300 etc etc 1st time every time.
    Does not help other then to be certain a fix is needed.

  • Incorrect email from name

    Since moving to iCloud, the name shown on the mail list of my recipients for all mail sent from my iOS 5 devices has changed to my formal name, and I can't figure out how to change it.  My formal name was previoulsly listed on my Apple I.D., but I have since changed it.
    Additionally, my mail account name on iCloud, mail application and address book are all showing the correct name.
    Any suggestions before I call Apple Support?

    Found the right setting.  For each device, go to settings -> iCloud -> mail -> advanced -> name.
    You'll need to scroll down to see the advance setting at the very bottom.

  • Spam email from my Address Book

    Every day I get spam emails from names that are in my address book. I notice this because the names that pop up are not always common, often unique names of folks I have worked with recently.
    It's as if someone hijacked or monitors my email. This occurs on more on my non.mac email address.
    Possible? Thanks!

    Do you publish a weblog or any other online forum where you might reveal your email address and those of your acquaintances?

  • How can I send from multiple email aliases & names?

    Hi, I wish to achieve the same result as the OP at http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=112689 and by following the useful guides in that thread, am able to achieve what I want... sort of.
    Basically, I have one POP account/mailbox, and only one.
    However, I use 3 email aliases for different work purposes, e.g.:
    Fred Blogs <[email protected]>
    Dr F Blogs <[email protected]>
    The Surgery <[email protected]>
    Now, according to the advice, in Mail I can create one Mailbox, and under 'email address' in Mailbox Preferences, enter:
    [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]
    This works fine as far as it goes, and I get a drop down when creating new mail, however, all 3 'aliases' come from the same person's 'Name' - the 1 name I entered in the mailbox preferences in Mail.
    No, what I need to achieve is to be able to send email from the 3 different names as well as email addresses, not just 3 different email addresses all with the same name.
    This was a doddle under Outlook, you just create 3 accounts with the same SMTP server, but set 2 of them not to receive email (otherwise you'd end up with 3 lots of each incoming email from that 1 shared mailbox).
    Mail however is not having any of it, and won't let me create duplicate accounts. I have even tried adding the full name in the email address field of settings, separated by commas: Fred Blogs <[email protected]>, Dr F Blogs <[email protected]>, The Surgery <[email protected]>. That didn't work either.
    How can I achieve what used to be quite a simple process on my PC? I can't be the only person who uses one unified mailbox account, but sends from different aliases?
    Thanks.

    Thanks, but the issue occurs when I am trying to set up the 2nd account and get to the Incoming Mail Server Page.
    Because I am using the same Incoming Mail Server and User Name as the 1st account, when I click Continue it reports:
    /!\ The account "Account 1" already has this hostname and username.
    It then won't let me continue. Now it sounds like you have the same setup, so do you have the same hostname and username in all your multiple accounts? :-S
    The reason it does this is - I suspect - because even if you untick 'Include when automatically checking for new mail', when you manually check for new mail, you'd still get 3 lots of the same message. How do you get around this?

  • TS3276 I need feedback for the following issue. When I send email from this 27 inch iMac, the computer adds a string of characters in vertical column that represents the QWERTY key board, all alpha numeric characters are included. Yahoo mail, issue only o

    Restating my issue / question...
    When I send email from this iMac, there is a string of characters assigned. The characters are all the "alpha numeric" characters on the QWERTY key board. This only occurs when email is sent from this iMac. The issue does not manifest when using any other lap top or computer.
    Hence, I have ruled out the issue is a yahoo mail matter.
    Again, I can access the Yahoo mail account form multiple devices and send email without unintended assignment of character strings, but when I send wmail using this iMac, the issue happens everytime.
    Characters are stacked verticaly in a column. It looks as if all characters (except function keys) are included in the string.
    Any ideas?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac. 
    These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing. 
    Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects. 
    Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands. 
    Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply. 
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways: 
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.) 
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens. 
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid. 
    When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign. 
    Step 1 
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it:
    kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' | open -f -a TextEdit 
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Post the contents of that window, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
    Step 2 
    Repeat with this line:
    { sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'; sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook; } | open -f -a TextEdit 
    This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. 
    Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step. 
    Step 3
    launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}' | open -f -a TextEdit 
    Step 4
    ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit  
    Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting. 
    Step 5
    osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' | open -f -a TextEdit 
    Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output. 
    You can then quit Terminal.

  • Special characters an issue in reading email from server?

    I have an email application that uses javamail 1.4.1 that grabs emails out of flat files and displays the messages on the screen. Until recently, all email was sent within the business, but now they are able to receive emails from any email provider. We've been seeing issues where parts of messages go missing, even links to attachments that don't get displayed to the screen. All of the correct information is in the flat files, but it doesn't get displayed. Does Javamail do anything to handle special characters or is there anything you think I could try to get these messages to display? It's really causing some problems!

    As far as I can tell, it's not throwing any exceptions, the only ones I catch in retrieving emails are MessagingException, IOException, and IndexOutOfBoundsException, and I'm not seeing any errors in my log files. The headers are the only thing that come through correctly every time, it's always either the message or attachments that go missing. One of the messages is from a mobile phone, which could be a problem, but we've seen it from our company email addresses too. I'll see if I can get a hold of a sample message to post. In the meantime, what kinds of properties can be set? Is there a good place to look for that?

    In the mean time I used the .me smtp server settings which allowed me to send mail.

    About ~20 hours later, this ended up solving itself. We can send email using the '.icloud' email from both the iPad and iPhone.  Advise would be 'wait' before you start seeking alteranatives like yahoo, hotmail, etc.  This definitely is a convenient way to keep all your 'cloud' information in a centralized place, including the common email...

  • I had a power failure 2 days ago, have power now, but cannot send email from my iPad. Everything was fine before that. The box says cannot send mail, the user name or password for Gmail is incorrect. I haven't changed anything. I need help. Thanks

    Hi
    I had a power failure 2 days ago, my computer is running again, but now I cannot send email from my iPad using Cox or my gmail account. I am receiving mail in my Cox account but not my gmail account.It was working fine until the power failure. It keeps telling me, the user name or password for Gmail is incorrect. I have not changed anything. I don't know what is wrong. Can anyone help me? Thanks

    I agree, unplug and replug your router, then reset your iPad by holding down the sleep and home buttons, ignore the red power down slider, and wait til you see the silver apple. let it reboot and then try your connection.
    Chances are rebooting the router will help. You may also need to talk to cox. They may need to reset something on their end.

  • "Sender Name is Invalid" (can't send email from POP account) iPhone 2.1

    I updated from V2.0.2 to V2.1 today. I also swapped out my original iPhone EDGE for a new iPhone EDGE due to unrelated problems with the speaker.
    Upon testing things after restoring from backup to the new phone I discovered that I could no longer SEND email from my POP account. I could receive email just fine on that account. Sending and receiving email on my MobilMe account also worked, as did sending and receiving email via the POP account while on the Mac computer I use to sync with this iPhone.
    After digging into this with AppleCare we discovered that somehow the Port Address for the Outgoing Mail Server for that POP account had been changed from 25 to 587 on the iPhone.
    Changing it back to 25 fixed my problem.
    We don't know whether the problem was due to the 2.1 upgrade or due to something in the restore process after swapping the phones.
    If you get the error message "Sender Name is Invalid" while trying to send email from a POP account on your iPhone, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and select the line for your POP account.
    Now scroll down to the Outgoing Mail Server entry which should show "SMTP" and the name of the outgoing mail server for that POP account. Select that line. This will display a list of servers with your POP account server showing at the top as the Primary Server. Select that line.
    In the panel that displays, check the Server Port. If it is something odd like 587, that may be your problem. Select the line and you can edit it to something more normal like 25. Touch the "SMTP" button at the top left of the number entry screen to accept that new value.
    We discovered that after correcting that value on the iPhone it STAYS corrected even after doing a new Sync with iTunes, or after MobileMe syncs.
    --Bob

    Sorry you had problems Bob.
    Depending on the mail service you are using, Port 25 or Port 587 are usually acceptable for outgoing
    SMTP mail. Many cafes will block the customary port 25 to prevent spammers from using their
    wireless access.
    There is a superb tutorial posted here:
    http://www.webmail.us/docs/support/Macintosh-OSX-Mail.pdf
    Also be sure for each mail account to turn ON the secondary AT&T server shown at the bottom
    of the SMTP server list for each account -- it will make your transition from wireless to Edge
    to 3G networks much more reliable.
    Thanks for sharing what you've learned. Hope this helps.
