First Name Only Appears In Email

I have a person who emails me, and she has the same first name as several other persons who email me, but her last never appears in the From tab, so it is hard to search for her emails. Her full name appears in the actual email. What gives?

It's either something w/her email account is setup on her computer or it's how you have her entered in your address book.

How do I correct my name as appears in emails

When I send an email from my iPad, my name appears incorrectly, as if my last name was auto-corrected. How can I change this?

Glad I was able to help.
Interestingly, solutions to Apple issues tend to be pretty straightforward, especially when looking back at them.
For future reference, that's often the trick to figuring them out ... just figure out where would the solution likely be. I'm trying to say whatever the issue, the solution is likely not too complicated in the world of Apple.
Enjoy your iPad and Apple gear.

Why does Apple Mail preview pane display only sender's first name?

Some, but not all, of the mail I receive shows only the sender's first name in the preview pane. I've checked the three areas others have mentioned as possible sources of the problem: 1.) Both first and last names appear for these senders in my Contacts. 2.) None of these senders appear with only first names in my Previous Recipients list. 3.) The full headers don't show first name only.
When I used Entourage, emails from the same senders never showed only first names in the preview pane.
Is this a bug in Apple Mail? Is there a workaround?

I came here looking for a similar answer. Some of my HTML messages show up just fine in Mail 3.5. Others, I get the plane text alternative or a bunch of raw HTML. With no answer in sight on the Discussion groups, I decided to look at the raw mail message of one of the offending emails.
Under the View menu I found a sub menu called Message then there are 6 choices beneath that:
*Long Headers*
*Raw Source* (which is what I was looking for)
+(and then below a separator I found a surprise!)+
*Plain Text Alternative* (grayed out)
*Previous Alternative* (grayed out)
*Next Alternative* (available)
*Best Alternative* (available)
Only the appropriate ones for the current message display format are available.
So low and behold selecting "next" or "best" changed my message into fully readable HTML format with pictures, formatting, etc.
I am assuming that something in the way that the multipart MIME message is assembled by some senders' systems does not sit well with Mail. I'm not going to bother figuring it out, but I'm sure that close examination of the raw message would give some clues.
Now if only I could figure out how to choose the message format based on the sender, I could eliminate having to change every message that comes in from that sender. Maybe AppleScript and a Mail Rule?

Mail merging - getting peoples names to appear when I send bulk email

I am sending a mass email of sorts, I want the people I am sending the mail to first name to appear at the top of the letter.
How do I mail merge, or have first name appear when I am BCC emailing 20 email addresses at a time

AFAIK, there's no built-in way to do an email merge in Apple Mail. There are third-party bulk mail programs such as Direct Mail which will do what you describe.

Nokia 3230 - Last name is appearing first in Inbox

Hello, Everyone!
I've Nokia 3230, the problem is that in Phonebook I've set "First Name First" but last name is appearing first in inbox while in sent messages first name is appearing first.
How can I fix that?
Thanks,
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The phonebook setting only affects the way the names are listed in the phonebook and does not change the way names are listed elsewhere.
This the way it is meant to me and cannot be fixed.

I contacted the itunes store support and asked for an explanation of a refund and then my first name (for the account data) was not accepted - though correct - only when cancelling the second name it went through. How can that be???

Hello - I wonder what can have happened. I got a mail from the itunes store with the info of a refund for an App that I cannot have purchased. Then I asked for help via the support and had to fill out a form with data. My account name (first name and last name) was already there and when I finally wanted to submit my request for support it said that my first name ( there are 2 for that) was not correct. I had the idea of cancelling the 2nd 'first name = only M. and then the request was accepted.
What might be the reason for all that turmoil? I mean the refund for s.th. that I did not buy and then the non acceptance of my first name's data?
I appreciate a comment, aimeeh

ICloud Contacts duplicates first name

I list my family and close friends by their first names only in my Contacts, leaving the surname field blank.
Contacts has now started to duplicate their first names into the surname field, so that my wife's entry reads "Fiona Fiona" and my daughter's entry is "Sophie Sophie".
No matter how many times I change the entry, either on my iPhone or on my Air, the first name keeps appearing in the surname field too.
Is Contacts unable to deal with entries containing only a first name?
Has anyone else experienced this?

I fixed my problem with it. I went to my Mac and it was in the Mail app.
Open Mail
From the menu bar select Window
Select Previous Recipients
I found the culprit in there. I don't know how the name got to be the way it was in the first place but I took it out of there and it fixed it. It stopped messing up my contacts.
Hope this helps.

Rule name as part of email message

Hi,
We have a requirement to have rule name to appear in email text when any deficiency is identified. After going though previous posts, i realized it can be accomplished via tcode SE61. Can someone give me detailed steps to include rule name in email text.

You can look at the rwservlet.properties file in the $ORACLE_HOME/reports/conf directory on your application server. The entry will look something like:
SERVER=rep_mysrv
You can look in your tnsnames.ora file in the $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin folder on your application server. The entry will look something like:
REP_MYSRV.DOMAIN.COM = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = tcp)(HOST = mysrv)(PORT = 1950))
where REP_MYSRV is the name or your reports server.
You can also look in Enterprise Manager - App Server Control:
http://mysrv.domain.com:1810
You have to login. Once logged in, you should see the name of your reports server.

In address book, if I try to show first name before the last name, why do only a few names change?

Using address book on 10.7.2, when I go to "preferences" to change the display order between showing the "first name" before or after the last name, only about 25% of names will change. The rest all stay in the same order. Any ideas?

By default any outgoing email has the addresses saved in the Collected address book. You can turn this option off if you want.

Drop Down Box Choose A Name and Have only the first name show up

I am creating a form for health care.
I have a drop down box with names of Physicians... their full names so they can be easily identified. And then subsequent fields that will be populated based off of the choice. However What I need is that after the full name from the drop down list is selected than only the Dr's First name shows up in the box to be distributed through out the file. All the rest of the information is already in using this Java:
switch(this.rawValue){
    case "MD":
        form1.Page1.Physician1LastName.rawValue = " Acccc";
        form1.Page1.Physician1Number.rawValue = "1111111111";
        form1.Page1.Physician1Fax.rawValue = "2222222222";
        form1.Page1.ClientEmail.rawValue = "[email protected]";
        form1.Page1.Physician1Address.rawValue = "xyz suite ";
        form1.Page1.Physician1City.rawValue = "XYY CIth";
        form1.Page1.Physician1State.rawValue = "XZ";
        form1.Page1.Physician1Zip.rawValue = "11111";
        form1.Page1.Physician1NPI.rawValue = "111111111";
        form1.Page1.Physician1License.rawValue = "ABBB111111";
        form1.Page1.Physician1UPIN.rawValue = "A11111";
        form1.Page1.Physician1Specialization.rawValue = "Internist";
        break;
And is working beautifully thanks for previous help everyone.
Here is the example from the Drop Down list choices:
     Dr. Aaaaa Abb Accccc
     Dr. Baaaa Bbb Bccccc
I would like to choose :
     Dr. Aaaaa A Aaaaa
and upon chosing it have it show only the first name in that field so it can be processed correctly through out the rest of the fields.
ie:    Aaaaa   (Only nothing else)
I am a horrible at this stuff I just surf around until I find something that works and copy and paste and play until it works
So Please be specific:
Java vs FOrm: Client: Choice   and code ....
Thanks SO much ....

Take a look at the attached. The script assumes the name is a three-part string such as Dr. Frank Burns. You can modify it according to your needs.
// form1.page1.dd::exit - (JavaScript, client)
if (this.rawValue != null) {
var doc = this.rawValue;
var i = doc.indexOf(" ");
doc = doc.substring(i+1,doc.length);
this.rawValue = doc.substring(0,doc.indexOf(" "));

I am trying to print labels from my address book, and when I change it to have the first names first, only some names work. Does anyone know what the problem is or how to fix it?

I want to print labels from my address book, but when I try to put first names first, only some will work. Does anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it?

Hi MollyPhloot07,
I'm glad you found the coupons.com app and you might also want to take a look at the GroceryIQ app from the same company. Please note that at this time, printing is only support from iPad to HP wireless inkjet printer. That's most likely the reason why your Canon isn't displaying when attempting to print. The other way to go might be emailing the coupons you want to your email address, then open that email and print from a conventional desktop or laptop computer.
Hope this helps!

My Mail Account in linked to my address book. The address book shows First Name, Last Name. When I start an email in Mail, the name does appear but the order is reversed...Last Name, First Name. I must have changed a setting somewhere but I don't know where. Does anyone know how to correct it?

I don't have any problem with my system. My guess is there is something there you aren't quite getting. I'd recommend a visit to your Apple Store, AASP or to contact AppleCare so they can coach you personally.
You can also play with the Address Book Preferences. However to see how changing a Preference affects the Address Book drag the Preferences window off of the Address Book so you can see both the Preferences window and Address Book Windows. Then toggle a Preference and you will see it instantly changes in the Address Book.

Have an iphone 3GS, 2 email accounts. My work email account used to work. Now if I send any emails from this account it only appears in my sent box. Recipients internal and external do not receive. IT person cannot figure why occurring. Any insight?

Have a iphone 3GS; 2 email accounts. one is for work. It used to work fine until about Feb 2011. Now when i send emails from my work account it only appears in the sent file. Recipients do not get email.
IT person looked at it & cannot find why this is happening.
Any insight why this is occurring??

This has nothing to do with your iPhone.
If a message is in the account's Sent mailbox, this means the message was successfully sent. If a message cannot be sent for whatever reason, it will remain in the Outbox.
What happens to a message after it was successfully sent has nothing to do with the email client or computer/device used to send the message.
