Emails have another name in the To box

Some Emails sent to me have another name in the To: section. If I click on this name all my contacts appear in the drop down box. Also if I try and send an email to these contacts the other name is attached. In other words the recipient of the email will also see To: "the other name".
I have deleted this contact from my list but still the name appears. Any ideas please?

I believe I have found the source of the problem. In my contacts I stumbled across Apple Inc and discovered that the name which keeps appearing had somehow been given to Apple Inc. I have deleted the name (ie First Name and Surname) and removed my details from this location and created a contact for myself. This has solved the problem of emails being sent as from the XXXXXX.
Further investigation shows that Apple Inc is holding the vast majority of my email contacts. I have spoken with the local Apple dealer and they have no idea how this has happened.
Historically when I purchased the Mac I had to import all my contacts from AOL. The dealer downloaded a small file which allowed me to do this. Because this problem has only just come to light I am not sure if this may be the cause as I purchased the MAc some 2-3 years ago.
My problem now is that whenever I receive emails from anyone in the Apple Inc contact then the sender is shown as Apple! I am told I will have to manually remove each contact from Apple Inc and create a new contact which will take forever as there arehundreds. Also I am not sure if doing this will affect my mailing lists.
This is a nightmare and one I never experienced when using a PC!
Any thoughts?

    Can anyone help?  When sending an email and I add a name to the "To" box or CC/BCC box which I later decided I don't want to include, Mail ignores the instruction to "remove" that name so that once the email has been sent, the name is still included and the email goes to them anyway.  Pretty frustrating and I don't understand why this is happening. 

    You would really have to ask the app developer if there is a way to export the data.
    As for adding a printer, you would need to purchase an AirPrint compatible printer and connect it to your wireless network.

  • When sending an email to multiply recipiants, using address autocompletion, all the address boxes convert to the name in the first box

    I use Thunderbird for my email. When sending an email to multiple recipients, I use autocompletion from my local address book. When I select an additional recipient, the name initially appears correctly in the address box. Each time I drop down to add another recipient, the names in each box all revert to the name in the first box. I've used Thunderbird for 2 years and this just started today. Also, the cursor and names in the address box appear now in red instead of black. Hopefully you can solve this problem.
    Thank you,

    There are some evil bugs in the current version of Thunderbird. You may find it works better if you click with the mouse, or move down with the arrow keys and click or use tab. IIRC, there's an issue with use of the Enter key. Or maybe the other way round ; please experiment. It's one of those frustrating bugs that seems to affect everyone but me.
    You can download older versions here:
    https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/releases/
    I believe 31.2.0 is free of this particular issue. 24.6 seems to be a popular choice for those who dislike recent changes in the Composition window UI.

  • Many of my Inbox emails have found themselves in the Trash. How do I get them back into Inbox?

    I always check incoming emails to my bevere@btinternet address through Firefox to delete spam from the spam box and also any that is in the Inbox before letting the good ones through into my Microsoft Outlook.
    For some reason a whole lot of good ones have found themselves into the Trash box which I cannot drag back into the Inbox to allow me to get them across to my Outlook.
    How can I get the good ones in the Trash box back to the Inbox?

  • Reading file names in the unix box

    Hello,
    I did the following to read the files from the local directory.
    String s1 = "c:\samplefiles"
    File dir = new File(s1);
    if(dir.isDirectory())
    String listoffiles [] = dir.list();
    for(int i = 0; i <listoffiles.length ; i++)
    System.out.println(listoffiles);
    else
    System.out.println("Its not a directory");
    How can i read and print the file names in the unix box?
    Thank You.
    Kumar

    Thank You for the reply.
    In my custom page, i am trying to include a search page which includes date parameters based on which the pdf files in the unix box should be displayed in the page as a list. (The pdf file names start with the date).
    Once the user clicks the file names displayed in the page, i need to open the pdf. This part i can handle but to search the file names based on the parameter names and display in the page as the list is a bit confusing.
    Thank You.

    Hello, I have an otter box for my iPhone 4s and recently the rubber schell has become loose and a little flappy. A lot of my friends have told me that the otter box breaks the lock button on the iPhone and sure enough it has happened to me. It's as if the lock button is frozen in place and won't click down. Can I return this phone for a new one? my biggest fear is that I'll have to go a couple of weeks with out a phone while I wait for my new one.. And with regards to otter boxes, should I stay away from them to prevent future issues like this from happening again?
    Thank you for your help!

    "Can I return this phone for a new one? "
    Do you mean "can I get a new iPhone for free?"  Nope.
    Do you mean "since Applecare does not cover accidental damage, can I get a replacment iPhone, for around $250?"  Yes.

  • Why does the with i pad  have your name at the top and black dont

    why does the white ipad have your name up by the wifi bar but the black on dont just has ipad my white was a 4 and it had ashley's ipad and my black is a 4 and just said ipad.  

    Demo wrote:
    You can name your iPad anything you want to in Settings>General>About>Name. Maybe you named the first iPad but never named the second one. Maybe the first one was named when you set it up with iTunes and if you didn't set up the second iPad with iTunes or set it up as new - not from a backup, it would not have a name in the settings.
    I think that it's magic.

  • How to add a new name in the from box - NOT a new email address

    Hi
    I wish to add email addresses to the from box when I write emails.
    I have my own domain name registered with a third party which I add forwards to which arrive in my thunderbird in tray and it is easy to add a new one to forward to my email server into thunderbird.
    But cannot find out how to add the address the from box without adding a new email address?
    I did manage it a few years ago with an old version of thunderbird but I have just move over from XP pro
    to 7 Pro and had to install the new Thunderbird so must either be forgeting the simple or going daft in my old age!!
    Help!
    Cheers Mark

    You need to add them.
    One possible route is to add a new address as an alternative identity for an existing address.

  • I receive email from a business but the From box contains my friends name and email address. The business has no clue why this is happening. How do I fix this?

    This only happens with this business. No other email has this problem.

    ''Zenos [[#answer-671940|said]]''
    <blockquote>
    I suspect that activenetwork.com is the actual provisioner of the email service used by cornerstoneonline.com and there is a misconfigured server or MX record somewhere that is failing to substitute the appropriate ''from:'' address.
    The ''reply-to:'' looks like a ham-fisted attempt to get replies to go back to the preferred account, but they don't help you as all the ''from:'' addresses are incorrect.
    Now, cornerstoneonline.com appears to be a church-related organization:
    Domain Name: CORNERSTONEONLINE.COM
    Registrar WHOIS Server: whois.godaddy.com
    Registrar URL: http://www.godaddy.com
    Admin Organization: Cornerstone Christian Fellowshiip
    (from their whois record)
    and activenetworks.com provides "software for the unique needs of your church"
    http://www.fellowshipone.com/features
    So it would appear that cornerstone buy some services from activenetworks, (including email) and this appears in the originating address. Ideally it would be aliased to an email address on the cornerstoneonline.com domain.
    I suspect that someone at cornerstone has misconfigured settings at godaddy.com, from whence they appear to purchased the cornerstoneonline.com domain.

    Thanks Zenos, I'll notify them about the information you gave me.

  • Pictures previously included as part of an email are no longer there. If I forward the email to another web browser the picture is there. This just started happening after my last upade and I do not know why.

    For some reason pictures that have been included in emails as part of the email are no longer there. This seems to have happened after my last update of firefox. If I forward the email to another web browser on my computer the picture is then visible as part of the email. The pictures I am talking about are not ones attached for me to open but ones that are included as part of the email.

  • Is there a way of renaming files AS you download them (as in IE where you type the name into the dialog box as you save)?

    I save batches of records from an info source and need to give them memorable names as I download them, so that I can find the correct record again easily. Currently the system just calls them, e.g. wrlb, wrlb[2], wrlb[3]. When I used IE, I could type a filename into the dialog box as I saved, but Firefox doesn't seem to have any option to rename. Can anyone point me to a solution?
