Email User problem - google mail adds ? to my name

My email sends with a question mark (?) as part of my name.
Any ideas?

I use English & Spanish on occasion.
I've realized that this problem is specific to Apple mail.
If I send via google app mail name comes through fine.
I've been using apple
Mail for years & never had this problem until suddenly.
I assumed it was the accent in my name but have since removed it from google apps and prob still persists.
Very strange

  • Sync Problem Google Mail to Iphone4

    i got a problem only portion of my google contact synced to my iphone 4 (through iTune)
    have anyone facing the same issue?

    What do you mean by "I sync my google mail on icloud with imap protocol"?
    There is no syncing of email between iCloud and Gmail via IMAP or anything else.
    You can setup email forwarding between iCloud and Gmail, but that is not syncing and does not transfer the read status. An email forwarded from Gmail to iCloud will be new, unread messages when they arrive in iCloud.

  • Hello heavy Email Users -- Re: Apple Mail

    Use Outlook 2011 now. Just emailed Apple requesting that they incorporate Notes, Address Book and Calendar into Apple Mail, like Outlook does. As a heavy email user for business, I would love to use Apple Mail, but not having Notes (like in Outlook) available to look up the tons of info I have stores there or calendar and Address Book, makes it hard to use Apple Mail.
    Any "heavy" Email business users using Mail? Thanks!

    Yes. It works fine with MS Exchange servers.
    Mail's integration with all other native OS X apps is seamless, and I have no use for Outlook.

  • Email configuration on Google Mail

    Hi guys
    I hope that you can help me to resolve this problem that I have. I am a big fan of GMail and use it now for over two years. I have my WHOLE LIFE on this. I have configured both work and private emails on GMail, my contacts and calander as well as Documents is on Google. This in turn is set up to sync automatically with my Nokia E71 and contacts on my Nokia 5800. All this is working great and have no problems. I have considered to change over to OVI as it does the same as Google, only that I have to much on Google and scared to change over at this stage.
    My only problem is that I cannot add my OVI email on Google, it keeps giving me an error. I have visted a number of forums but none speak of GMail. The error I keep getting is  "OK READY IMAP 4" but cannot add account, it further says to contact my email priovider - in this case OVI.com
    I have tried various settings:
    imap.mail.ovi.com
    smtp.mail.ovi.com
    mail.ovi.com
    ports 993, 110 etc.
    But to no avail, can some one please help me, really want to use this email on GMail.
    Thanks in advance.

  • HOWTO set scan to email using a google mail?

    Hi all ,
    I am trying to scan to email with our HP 4100 mfp , I have already followed the manual and various tutorials on the net but still doesn't work .
    The email accounts we use are google ones for businesses and they require authentication ssl, the problem is that is not possible to set the ssl parameters  on the printer setting .
    Does anyone know what to put on smtp gateway and smtp server or  another trick to make it work?
    thanks

    I think that all mail provider use the authentication and ssl to send.  I'm try to look for a provider that don't use these settings.

  • Receiver email encoding problem using mail package

    Hi to all.
    I'm facing a email problem. My company email server is workig fine with emails subject but customers email server is making some strange changes when i use special characters such as 'á' or spanish letter 'n with a tail on the top'.
    I set the field 'Content_Type' of the email to 'text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1' but isn't working. If i remove those special chars, the subject is OK.
    I also tried to add content conversion in the receiver email adapter in module tab but with no possitive results.
    I'm using SAP PI 7.0 sp14.
    Any idea of what is happening?
    Kind regards,
    Inigo.

    If you want to use non-ascii characters in email subject, then you have to apply a special notation for this, like follows:
    =?utf-8?Q?Auftragsbest=C3=A4tigung?= 
    This is email standard. So I recommend not use non-ascii characters in email subject.
    Regards

  • Spam fighting Idea for Email Users-Beyond Junk Mail

    I get so much junk mail I was hoping there was a way to automatically bounce back anything that got classified as junk. Then the important person who sent the email could use the old telephone for contact if they found they weren't getting their communication through. There would be an added bonus of all the emails that were junk would look the same (Mail Delivery System) and faster to delete.
    Does anyone else think this is a good idea or is it just stupid.

    Do you use this email address for public purposes, such as for online purchases, or for website access if an email address is required for access, or provide it for anything and everything when an email address is requested or required?
    Do you automatically render all HTML received? If so, and a spammer includes embedded images or objects with HTML formatting that must be rendered from a remote server to be viewed, you are notifying the spammer that your email address is valid or "known good" causing even more spam to be received. When the Mail.app's Junk Mail filter correctly marks a message as junk when received, and the spammer includes embedded images or objects that must be rendered from a remote server to be viewed, these will not be rendered when such a message is marked as junk as a security measure. But this does not apply if such a junk message is not marked as junk when received, which is why automatically rendering all HTML when received is not a good idea.
    Have you ever selected a link included with a spam message - any link, and especially a remove your address from the circulation list link? If so, you have done nothing but notify the spammer that your email address is valid or "known good" causing even more spam to be received.
    Spammers sell/trade their "known good" email address lists to each other, causing even more spam.
    If you have done any or all of these things, you have inadvertently and unknowingly added to the amount of spam you are receiving.
    Once an email address is so badly compromised, it is impossible to get the cat back in the bag.
    The best thing to do is to have a personal email address that is used to exchange email with family and friends only. Do not use this email address for online purchases, or for any other public consumption. Get a free Hotmail account that is accessed via webmail only using a browser to be used for online purchases and for public consumption.
    A Gmail account is free, can be accessed as an IMAP or POP account with an email client on your computer, has webmail access, has an authenticated SMTP server so you can send messages with the account regardless the ISP being used for your internet connection, and Gmail has a good spam filter at their incoming mail server.
    You don't want to reply to, bounce back, select any links, or render any HTML for spam for a number of reasons.

  • Introducing Enhanced Google Mail plug-in for BlackBerry smartphones

    Enhanced Google Mail™ plug-in for BlackBerry® smartphones
    Product Overview
    The Enhanced Google Mail™ plug-in for BlackBerry® smartphones introduces an advanced level of email service integration for BlackBerry smartphones. It supports additional Google Mail™ features that provide BlackBerry® Internet Service subscribers with broader access to their Google Mail accounts while on the go.  The Enhanced Google Mail plug-in is optional. Existing and new Google Mail integrations will continue to function without it.
    Note: The Enhanced Google Mail plug-in requires BlackBerry® Device Software 4.5 or later and Google Mail integration within the BlackBerry Internet Service. The Google Mail integration must use IMAP, not POP, to function correctly. Google Mail accounts integrated after March 2009 use IMAP. Deleting an existing account and re-integrating it will ensure that the account is using IMAP.
    BlackBerry smartphone users with existing integrated Google Mail accounts must re-associate their email accounts to receive the link to download the Enhanced Google Mail plug-in.
    Features
    Add and remove labels and stars on email messages
    Report spam email messages
    Perform local and remote searches
    Archive email messages
    View related email messages as a single conversation (threaded view)
    Note: Synchronization happens in one direction, from the BlackBerry smartphone to the Google Mail account. This means that some changes that take place in the webmail UI are not reflected on the BlackBerry smartphone. These include:
    Applying labels and stars to email messages in Google Mail after they are retrieved by the BlackBerry Internet Service.
    Labels that are renamed in Google Mail are not applied to the corresponding labels on the BlackBerry smartphone. The new label is synchronized to the BlackBerry smartphone, but does not replace the existing label.
    Email messages that are marked as read, archived, or spam in Google Mail are not marked as spam on the BlackBerry smartphone.
    Labels cannot be created, renamed, or deleted using the BlackBerry smartphone.

    I'm having similar show-stopper issues.  I should point out that I'm not actually using an @gmail.com address; I'm using a Google Apps account for my own domain name.   Perhaps that accounts for some of my issues.  I'm using an AT&T Bold with OS 4.6.0.167 (Platform 4.0.0.217), and I have a BES plan to get mail from my employer (the phone and the AT&T account are mine).  I did not upgrade from an old Gmail plugin; I installed the Gmail plugin for the first time.
    1)  Having messages appear in both the main Messages inbox and the Gmail inbox is not a convenience. It would be nice to be able to segregate these, as with the option to keep SMS/MMS messages out of the main inbox with Messages Options > General Options > SMS and Email Inboxes > Separate.
    2)  I have a lot of Gmail filter rules that apply labels to incoming messages and "skip the inbox."  When I receive one of these messages on my Blackberry, I get a new message notification (asterisk) on both my main Messages inbox and my Gmail inbox.  The "skip the inbox" messages are visible in the main Messages inbox, but not in the Gmail inbox (unless I Filter on "All Mail" in the Gmail inbox).  To get rid of the new message asterisks, I need to open both inboxes.  
    The whole reason I choose the "skip the inbox" option is that I don't want to see these messages unless I explicitly filter on that label.  It's bad enough that I get them in my Messages inbox, but to have Messages behave one way and Gmail another is nutty.
    3)  I'm not seeing all of my new Google Apps mail on my Blackberry, even when I choose Filter > All Mail from the Gmail inbox.  In the standard Gmail client I see everything; but only selected messages appear on the Blackberry.  I haven't been able to pin down what the pattern is.  At first it seemed that incoming mail had to have a label applied to it by a filter to appear on the Blackberry, because all the messages I have been able to receive on the Blackberry have had a label.  I haven't yet seen any unlabeled message.  What what makes it tough to pin down is that I have never received a test message I have sent to myself, and I have tried using my work e-mail, Yahoo Mail, Hotmail and AOL Webmail.  0% success rate sending myself a test message (even when a filter applies a label to these messages); 0% success rate receiving mail that Gmail filters don't apply a label to.
    I guess the issue could be with Google's IMAP implementation.  I haven't yet looked at my inbox with another IMAP client to see how that looks.  I'll try that next.
    4)  On the topic of IMAP:  If that's the interface to Gmail, it seems strange that I can't view my whole inbox.  I can only view new mail since the date/time I first set up the Blackberry Gmail plugin.  That would make sense for POPmail, but not for IMAP should be able to show me my whole inbox.
    Google's Blackberry Gmail app (from m.google.com/mail) has none of these issues, but it has other limitations (no push mail; no HMTL in messages), so I'd use Blackberry's plugin if it worked better.  For now I expect to abadon after another couple of days of noodling.

  • Google Mail in Apple Mail - Unread Counter Doesn't Update

    I have a minor but annoying problem with my Google Mail email account on Apple Mail. When I receive a new email to my Google Mail account, Apple Mail displays the unread mail counter as expected. However, once I read the new email in my inbox, the email counter for the inbox sets to 0, but the counter for Google Mail (on the left hand side) remains at 1. If I then expand the Google Mail account at the left hand side, the counter updates itself without clicking the supposed unread email. This doesn't happen with other email accounts I have in Apple Mail. Any ideas?
    Cheers.

  • Problem with Mail & Google Apps email account

    I have three personal Gmail accounts, and a Google Apps email account provided by the Open University. I've set these four accounts up in Mail to use IMAP.
    My three personal accounts work as expected, no problems there. Apparently – I'm still waiting for confirmation of this from the OU – it's only possible to send email from the Google Apps account if I use the web interface, not Mail or any other email client. This account is only accessible from my student home page which has its own login with unique user name and password; trying to log in with the same details via the usual Gmail login dialog doesn't work. However, before I learned this I tested the setup by sending email, with Mail, from my Google Apps account to each of my personal accounts, and all three emails seemed to arrive correctly.
    On seeing my name as the sender I assumed everything was o.k. and didn't check to see which actual address showed as the sender. A few days later on finding problems and repeating the test I was surprised to find that the mails had been sent from the first personal Gmail account I set up in Mail, not from the account I had specified. This is a massive security breach that gives scope for abuse and fraud, but is it by Mail or Google? If I can't send from the account I was trying to use I should receive an error message to tell me of a problem, not be deceived silently into thinking that everything was working properly when it wasn't.
    Has anyone experienced this, with Mail or another email client and Google Apps or another service? I'd really appreciate any comments and views about this behaviour because it worries me.
    TIA.
    Amasis

    Update:
    I've established for certain that Google only provide a web interface for Google Apps products, it says so in the first paragraph of the Google Apps SLA. Trying to set up sending from a Google Apps account with an email client will only get you the hassle, waste of time and headache that I've had. Google don't say this anywhere that I've found in Gmail help or the marketing stuff about Google Apps; it's up to the buyer of the service either read the SLA for themselves, or for an organisation buying it for their people to tell them clearly that they have to use the web interface, there's no other option. I've read some other posts here on this subject, those people have been just as frustrated and annoyed as I have.
    How I deal with Google – I assume it's the provider and not the software – diverting my emails, is another question. My email provider diverts its customers' emails without telling the customer. The potential for fraud and abuse is obvious but what can be done about it? Can anything be done about it? Apart from anything else, I want the service. It's free at point of use, but it's not free really, nothing ever is, but if I paid for it could I be sure this wouldn't or couldn't happen. Welcome to the 21st century. I've taken it up with the Open University as the provider of my Google Apps account; I'm going to write to my MP (I'm in UK) or an appropriate regulatory body if there is one, and see where it might go from there.

  • Can I set my iCloud email as the outgoing mail server for my google apps email account in Mac Mail?

    I have a google apps email account from an old client, all my work emails have been going to it for years. As I'm no longer affiliated with this client I'd like to make a transition to using my iCloud account for work. I asked people to use my iCloud address but as they've been using my google apps address for years it's what automatically comes up when they type my name.
    I figure the easiest way to make a transition is if I reply to all the emails that arrive at my old address from my iCloud address and gradually they will start using my new address without realising it. But I can't find a simple way to do this.
    In Mac Mail preferences > accounts > Google IMAP (my old account name) > Account information > Outgoing Mail server (SMTP) I'd like to set my iCloud SMTP server. But although my iCloud account uses its own outgoing mail server for its own account , it is not in the server list when I select my google account. I've tried to add it to the server list as smtp.mail.me.com but it caused my whole iCloud account to give me error messages until I force quit Mail...
    Any ideas?

    In iCloud/Mail, have you tried going to Preferences (select with gear at lower left)/Composing and setting a Send from address there?

  • How do I add more email inboxes to the Mail application?

    Hey guys!
    Just a quick question! An answer in which I'm sure will be simple. How is it I add more email inboxes to the pre-installed "Mail" application? In other words, I have two email addresses in which both are used by myself. One is Yahoo, and the other Google Mail. How is it I can view both of the inboxes for these email addresses at the same time on the mail app?
    Regards & thanks for any answers!

    One option available is to open a new viewer window and then select the mailbox.
    Mail >  File > New Viewer Window

    Just moved my email from Entourage to Mail. Having real problems with getting my signatures to work properly despite sending email as Rich Text.
    When adding in a small company logo to the signature, PC's / windows computers only receive signature and logo as attachments.
    I've tried all possible fixes I can find including getting a PC user to format the logo but no joy. Has anyone experienced this and any ideas on a fix gratefully received.

    Send it as html so the signature is an image source URL

  • Outlook users' problems with Apple mail attachments

    Folks on Windows XP using Outlook 2003 are having problems with email from Apple mail. Apple mail is using Windows Friendly Attachments and Rich Text as the settings. Sometimes attachments (Word, Excel, PDF) come in fine with an additional .htm attachment, but the body text of the message is missing. If the Outlook user opens the .htm file, there is the body of the Apple mail. Testing with Plain Text results in the body text appearing fine in Outlook, but the attachment is seen as a *.dat file and of course can't be opened. The Macs are all on OS X Tiger with all OS updates applied. Users of Outlook in other offices don't have this problem, and users of Thunderbird on Windows don't have this problem. Any ideas on what is causing this and how to resolve it? Is there a setting on Outlook that needs to be tweaked? Is there a setting on Apple mail that needs to be tweaked? Apple mail attachments to this Windows office worked fine until a few weeks ago. I do not know what changed between then and now as I am not in charge of the computers at the Windows office. Could a Mac OS update have caused a problem? Something on Windows or Outlook specifically? Thanks for any help you can provide. I've scoured the web and have tried everything to no avail. Zipping attachments, while a workaround, is not a long-term solution. Thanks!

    Is this in an environment where an MS Exchange Server is being used? Seeing a file change to .dat would often point to that.
    Plain Text should be the plan of action for users of Apple Mail, but something (probably the Exchange Server) is messing that up. See:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/138053
    and also related:
    http://www.pchell.com/support/winmaildat.shtml
    Moving to Leopard would probably not solve this -- the administrator of the exchange server must act.
    Also the problem with winmail.dat files is known to impact other email clients used even on Windows computers.
