From: field (Display Name) incorrect

Hi, we have a number of N97's and E series phones that we have hooked up to our mail system which uses Zimbra mobile (mimics Activesync).
My problem is that when a user sends a mail, the display name is incorrect (it shows company name instead) though the email address is correct. e.g. companyname ([email protected])
If I create a mail on the device and lookup the message info I can see that before the message has left the device it has the company name as the display name => I am 90% certain this is an MfE issue. Also we don't have this problem with iPhones.I cannot see a field in MfE to set the display name manually.
Any ideas as I can't see any other people with this problem. Also multiple versions of MfE in use.

Thanks.
The affected names are there - but shown in caps initial, followed by l/case letters. I've removed them anyway to see what happens.
Is there a Mail cache file that I can delete?

'From' field display

This is trivial I know but it's mildly irritating.
I have someone's name appearing in the 'From' field in all caps in Mail v3.5. Message headers always show the sender's email address and return path entirely in lower case as I'd expect and their entry in my Address Book is capital initial followed by lower case.
So why is Mail changing the 'From' field display to all caps?
This happens with several contacts.

Thanks.

Standard field display name

In which table are stored the SBO field original display names?
ex: OCRD.CardFName -> Foreign Name
OITM.FirmCode -> Manufacturer
I look for the "Foreign Name" or "Manufacturer".
Thank you,
Attila Sarkady

Its not easy to modify or read LRF file (its a long time fight between developers and SAP), but there exists one workarounf for your problem.
In SBO is query generator where when you wrote table name, you get in one matrix all fields and description of these fields. This matrix you may export to csv file, or if you need all tables, create small addon which will change the table name in itemUID = 4 and with sendkeys send tab key. After this the matrix is populated with datas you need, work with matrix and loop go through all tables (from sysview). In this way youll get fieldname and fielddescription too in few easy steps.
Creating tables to R3 in same data structure as in SBO you may do as you suggested from system views on tables, fields a type structure or in management studio as scrip to Create...
hope it helps

How to make form text box field display name or instructions?

Using form tools, I have added text boxes in my PDF that I would like to have the field name display. So the user would understand what kind of info they need to fill in. For example, [Type organization name here] in one box and [type address] in another. This is not an actual form, so I don't want to put those labels outside the field as shown on the adobe sample form.

You can add your text to the 'tool tip' for the field's properties, use the right mouse click.

Powershell How to get person field display name

I am running the following ps script to get some data out to csv. The person fields (AssignedTo and CreatedBy) come with index;#LastName, FirstName. How do just get the name without the index stuff. Or do I need to do a Regex or Replace? For example,
32;#Doe, John Should be Doe, John
$results = @()
$web = Get-SPWeb "http://ourlocal.company.cc/docs/sales"
$list = $web.Lists["Sales Tasks"]
$caml = '<Where><Eq><FieldRef Name="Status" /><Value Type="Choice">Completed</Value></Eq></Where>'
$query=new-object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPQuery
$query.Query=$caml
$ListItems=$list.GetItems($query)
Write-Host "count " $ListItems.Count
foreach ($item in $listItems)
$Title = $item["Title"]
$AssignedTo = $item["AssignedTo"]
$Status = $item["Status"]
$Priority = $item["Priority"]
$CreatedBy = $item["Created By"]
$out = new-object psobject -Property @{Title = $Title
AssignedTo = $AssignedTo
Status = $Status
Priority = $Priority
"Due Date" = $DueDate
"Percent Complete" = $Percent
"Created by" = $CreatedBy}
$out = $out|select-object Title, AssignedTo, Status, Priority, "Due Date", "Percent Complete", "Created by"
$results +=$out
$results | Export-Csv "c:\output.csv" -noType
$web.Dispose()

Step 1:
Add following code right after $CreatedBy=$item["Created By"]
$CreatedByUserObj = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldUserValue($web, $CreatedBy)
$CreatedByDisplayName = $CreatedByUserObj.User.DisplayName;
Step 2:
Replace "Created by" = $CreatedBy with following code
"Created by" = $CreatedByDisplayName

Unity Express: Display name in exchange/outlook

I have enabled voicemail integration with exchange. when I receive a message in outlook. I'm getting it from Cisco Unity Express. I want change it to my company specific name. I would like to know where I can change this settings
Thanks & regards,

Thanks Felipe,
I have already configured the "outgoing-email from-address".
What I am looking for is, the "From" Field. Presently I am receiving e-mails from the address which I'd mentioned in the "outgoing-email from-address".
However the Display Name or in the "From" field of outlook it is showing "Cisco Unity Express", which I would like to change to my company name.
e.g.
From Subject Received ............... etc
Cisco Unity Express Message Notification
Here I want change it! When I open the message in new window it shows like this: Cisco Unity Express [[email protected]]
It correctly shows complete e-mail address which I'd mentioned in the "outgoing-email from-address"
Can we customize the From field / Display Name to company specific name? If Yes Where?
Thanks again!

Mail: Display Name in "To:" Field

Hi,
In the mail app To: field a display name is associated with an email address. For a particular email address I want to remove this association.
(apols this is difficult to explain).
I am a member of an email group called TriLondon (at) yahoogroups (dot) co (dot) uk. A while back I wanted to be able to send automated reminders to this group via iCal. As I remember at the time I added this email as part of my profile in address book. When I recieve a message from this group the from field displays "Steven Lord" (ie my name) and when I send to it the to field displays "Steven Lord".
This is now very confusing and I no longer want this associated. I have removed that email address from my profile in address book but still if I recieve an email or send an email to TriLondon (at) yahoogroups (dot) co (dot) uk it shows as Steven Lord in the to / from field.
HELP !! I'm pulling my hair out trying to fix this.
<Edited by Moderator>

I don't have to log in to send to this group.
Before any of this happened I could send an email to that group from Mail app on my mac. In order to be able to automatically send reminders to that group via iCal (I no longer need to be able to do this) I added an address to my profile in Address App. So I added the email address under my card in Address App.
That resulted in any mail being received from the above group being labelled as coming from me.. ie Steven Lord. It's annoying and I've finally decided to try and sort it out.
So...
In Address App I've removed the email address trilondon 'at' etc... from my card in there. However, within Mail app any email coming from that email address is still labelled as Steven Lord.

Apple Mail "From Field" addresses are wrong, and cached

I couldn't find the "Mail" community in the list of communities - Safari, and other standard apps were listed, just not Mail. If this is problem is in the incorrect location, please let me know where to place it - Ta
Here is the problem . . .
When creating a new email in the "Mail" App, the drop down box for the "From:" field displays a lot of address - some of them are wrong, some of them are obsolete, and some I would like to edit (or delete and re-enter the information).
The menu item "Window -> Previous Recepients" does not have any of the offending addresses listed in the cache.
If I create a new mail account using "Mail -> Preferences...", the email address and other details from the new account show up in the "From:" field drop down box when composing a new email. If I delete that new account, and restart the Mail App, the "From:" field drop down box still contains the information from the now defunct account.
If I pick a different account, and edit the information contained therein - say the "Full Name:" field, that new information does not necessarily change - specifically, if a double quote - " - has been accidentally inserted, or the "Full Name:" field used double quotes in the style "My Name" <[email protected]> then the double quotes stay stuck around the Full Name, even after being removed from the account details in Mail Preferences.
My guess . . . a file stored somewhere on the disc is keeping track of this information similar to the Window -> Previous Recepients information. This information I know how to prune (delete undesired records).
How do I do the same thing for the "From:" field?

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/MailRecents-v4.abcdmr
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Quit the application if it's running. Move the selected item to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Relaunch the application and test. If there's no change, quit again and put the item you moved back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Otherwise, delete the item you moved.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Difficult to input train-stop display-name

Hi, experts,
In jdev 11.1.2.3,
When i try to input train-stop display-name in the Property inspector palette,
I do have input the name string (and leave mouse from the Display name field to ID field) and click the save button in jdev,
but infact this display name has not been saved, next time when i come back from some where to view it, it's empty.
And I have stopped the running of app, the computer is OK(not hanging), jdev can do other works. but this issue happens several time today (some time it can work), rather difficult to input display name.
(This issue also happens sometime on VO's hint field inputs).
Is that a bug of jdev? some one else has met with it? or just a mirage of me?
Thanks.

Hi, Timo and Vinay
Yes, I do have tried press enter key or leave the mouse to another field on the same pallette.
but the "Save" button didnot enabled, and i have to press the "Save all" button. and cannot be saved in fact.
This issue not always happens, but i have met many times today.
Thanks.

Enable BCC & From Fields By Default - Office 2010

Hello,
I am trying to enable the BCC & From fields in outlook by default for users.
I have used Group Policy Preferences to create the registry keys as described in the below thread. The keys are showing up in the registry so I know the Group Policy is working, however the BCC & From fields in outlook are not being enabled.
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/8679ef2c-30e6-4064-94f3-1b5158127552/enable-from-and-bcc-fields-by-default-in-outlook-2010
Does anyone have any ideas?
Cheers
Michael

Hi,
How did you set the registry? Just to clarify, to enable the BCC and From fields, we need to create two registry keys.
To enable BCC field:
Key name: ShowBcc
Key type: REG_DWORD
Key value:
1
To enable From field:
Key name: ShowFrom
Key type: REG_DWORD
Key value:
1
Please double check if the key value is set to 1.
In addition, we may need to restart Outlook to make the key work. Have you tried to restart Outlook to check the result?
Please let me know the result.
Regards,
Steve Fan

Mac Mail displaying incorrect name to the "To" and "from" field of all of my Hotmail emails

When Hotmail is viewed via Mac Mail, the To: field displays the recipient’s name & Hotmail address. There is a serious problem with my incoming Hotmail … instead of displaying my name and Hotmail email address it displays my friend’s name (initials are RB) alongside my Hotmail email address ... for every Hotmail email that is sent to me no matter who emails me. My contact/address book entries for my name and my friend are correct in Mac Address Book and Hotmail Contacts. Very strange.
Mac Mail seems to be adding recipient name to the To: field of all of my Hotmail emails & putting in the wrong name next to my email address! I say this because the officialwww.hotmail.com site only displays a recipient email address in the To: field (no name appears). This error is only happening in Mac Mail with my Hotmail emails (not happening with my Gmail and Yahoo emails).
How/why is a wrong name/my friend's name displayed next to my email address in every Hotmail message I view in Mac Mail?
This error is only occurring in incoming Hotmail messages addressed to me. Emails that I send using my Hotmail show my name & email address correctly in the From field.
Thank you

Mail has Smart Addresses that will display the name and email address under Preferences > Viewing, but your issue sounds like a different issue.
Did you setup an outlook.com alias in Outlook.com when it made the transition? If not, add an alias and see if that helps. You can also test sending from the outlook.com alias to see if the results are as expected.
For example if your Hotmail email is [email protected] then setup an alias [email protected]
If that fails, test in a new User.
Create a new User in System Preferences.
Log into your new User.
You can skip the Apple ID setup unless you are testing iCloud.
Select Don't Sign in > Continue > Skip
Open Mail and enter your Hotmail account.
Does the problem go away?

Display Name in From field

We just upgraded from Messenger server 5.x to 6.2.
On 5.x email messages that were sent by the Messenger Server were received and viewed with the displayName in the From field of the message.
This is no longer the case with 6.2
We would like to restore this functionality. I'm hoping there is a setting that we set somewhere.
Examples:
From field from a 5.x message would appear as : Bob Walker<[email protected]>
From field from a 6.2 message appears as: [email protected]
Thanks, Bob.

./configutil -o service.http.fullfromheader -v yes
./stop-msg http;./start-msg httpRegards,

ICloud has my name incorrect in the "From" field of the Mail Compose window. How can I fix this?

When I'm using the iCloud website, when I try to compose an email, iCloud has my name incorrect in the "From" pop-up menu. I changed my last name some time ago, after my divorce, from "Seymour-Amper" back to "Seymour". My Apple ID, my iCloud Settings, and my iCloud Contacts all show my name as "Gemma Seymour", except in the "From" field in Email. There doesn't seem to be any place to change this. I was going to call iCloud Support, but I don't have cell service at home, and can only access the Internet from the public library, where I cannot use my phone. Can anyone help?

In iCloud Mail, try clicking the actions symbol in the left bottom corner and select Preferences. Next click 'Accounts' and select 'iCloud' (if not already selected) on the left. On the right you should see 'Label: iCloud' and below that 'Full Name: ....'. Here you should be able to change your name and next click 'Done' on the right bottom corner.
Hope this helpes...

From field in shared mailbox displays LegacyexchangeDN instead of person's email address.

We have a situation where a group of users who utilize a shared mailbox are getting a weird issue from time to time. They will take mail from their own mailbox and drag it to the shared mailbox. Sometimes the email show up fine, other times the
from field shows the GUID of the person's mailbox rather than their email address after they move it. See attached pictures. Any idea what would cause this and how I would fix it? It appears this way in everyone's Outlook and OWA.

Hi,
DisplayName is an Active Directory property which represents the display name of a recipient in an appropriate format to display to the end-user. This is a Unicode property which may contain non-ASCII characters so that a user name may contain DBCS characters.
In your case, you need to create a registry entry on Outlook side.
For more information, here is a helpful thread for your reference. (Note: Though it is Exchange 2010, it also replies to Exchange 2013 about this issue.)
