Full address in 'From' column

I'm looking for a method to show the actual email address in Mail's 'From' column rather than the 'friendly' name that's shown if it's present in the email header.

There is no way I know of to tell Mail to not be "smarter" than it should be. AFAIK, the closer you can get is unchecking Preferences > Viewing > Use Smart Addresses, but this only applies to viewing the message, it has no effect on the From column.

How to view email address in "From" column instead of name

When looking at messages in my Junk folder, I would prefer to see the actual email address of the sender in the "From" column, rather then the name. How do I do this?

In outlook, when I input internal user id, it will be converted to email address automaticallyThis conversion in made by Outlook using the Outlook server repository.
Now you're using utl_smtp and you connect directly to the smtp server so who does the conversion?

HT1351 My fifth generation nano will no longer sync my address book from my Mac. It gives me an error message that "You have no contacts" and asks me if I want to create some. My address book is full of contacts. Sync works for everything else.

My 5th generation nano will no longer Sync my address book from my Mac. It gives me a message that I have no "Contacts", and asks if I want to create some. My address book is full of contacts, but for some reason it thinks it is empty. All the other sync operations work fine including iCal. My Mac is running OS X 10.7.4.

It sounds like all of your contacts on your Mac running Lion are actually stored up in iCloud.
Several users running Mac OS X Lion and now ML (and iCloud) have no longer been able to "sync" contacts over to their older iPods models.
A work around is to export all of your contacts out of Address Book as vCards and them copy these vCards into your iPod's Contacts folder. You'll need to have the Enable Disk Use option ticked from under the iPod's Summary tab in order to browse out to the iPod's Contacts folder via the Finder.
Using your iPod as a storage drive
That's the only "solution" I have been able to use to get contacts to sync/appear on my 5G iPod Video.

Help...trying to print address labels from an excel document. I only need info from some of the columns. Using Avery labels.

Help...I'm trying to print address labels from an existing Excel document that opens fine in Numbers. I don't want to print everything from the spreadsheet. The Avery template and site were no help. Any suggestions?

If you do not need all the excel specific items you can just write it to a spreadsheet using the write to spreadsheet file vi's.
If you want to go the excel route you will have to use active x. you can see a lot of examples on the excel board under the breakpoint forum. please post a sample of how you want your data to look and I can maybe help explain what options you have. and also oyu do not necesarily need the report generation toolkit.

Contact name does not appear in "from" column, only email appears

I have a contact for which there is an address book entry that contains a physical address, AIM/MSN, and email. However, in my inbox in the "from" column this person's full email address instead of their name appears. When I open the message, the contact's name is correctly displayed in the "from" line. Why is there this discrepancy? How can I fix this?

I have the same problem with Tiger mail. Some, not all, of my Address Book contacts appear with the full email address and not the contact name in my Inbox. If I open the email, the correct contact name then appears. However, if I attempt to reply to this individual using the reply button, the resulting email address that appear in my email message is not accurate and is some corrupted iteration of the correct email address. I have looked at the raw source for these incoming messages and the email address that appears there is fine (just like I have entered in Address Book). Any ideas?? Thanks.

From column

Does anyone know why sometimes people e-mails would appear double in the From column?
<[email protected]><[email protected]>
This would appear even though I have "xxx" in my address book with a full name and e-mail address.
Is there a way to fix this?

because you are seeing what they have their own addresses set up as rather than anything you may see stored in your own computer.
If they bypassed the First and Last Name when setting up their own mail client then some ISPs or clients may default to putting the email in place of the empty entries.

Rdp://full%20address=s: IP or DNS Name is not user friendly... Can rdp:// IP or DNS Name be assumed as the full address in Microsoft Remote Desktop?

We would like to request Microsoft Remote Desktop (MRD) to behave the same as the open source CoRD.app on OS X with respect URL resolution.
Example:MRD will resolve from Terminal rdp://full%20address=s:<IP or DNS Name>, but not rdp://<IP or DNS Name>
As the OS will respect any of the following protocols in Terminal or browser:
afp://<username>@<IP or DNS Name>
cifs://<username>@<IP or DNS Name>
ftp://<username>@<IP or DNS Name>
ftps://<username>@<IP or DNS Name>
http://<username>@<IP or DNS Name>
https://<username>@<IP or DNS Name>
smb://<username>@<IP or DNS Name>
ssh://<username>@<IP or DNS Name>
vnc://<username>@<IP or DNS Name>
(<username> can be omitted to force authentication at connection) it seems slightly redundant to force "full%20address=s:" in the URL.
Can Version 8.0.1.6 be modified address this request?
What is the proper way to report an enhancement request or bug?
Thank you for your consideration.

Hi,
From your description it appears that you want to modify the pattern for assigning the rdp full address but this doesn’t support as per your requirement. That is the default string which we need to have for passing full address.
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

* You might need to map the column headers.
'''If the address book is a .mab file or .csv file :'''
you could use this addon tool: MoreFunctionsForAddressBook
* https://nic-nac-project.org/~kaosmos/morecols-en.html

When I send emails, my friends told me my name doesn't appear in the "from" column. How do I solve this problem?

Badunit, thanks for your reply. I just went into Mail/Preferences/Accounts, "full name" field is filled correctly with my name. This happens to only certain recipients, and not every emails. Sometimes my name shows and sometime it doesn't show. And this only started to occur recently.

Since upgrade to Yosemite, whenever I send an Email, the receiver sees it as coming from my wife only in the "From" column regardless of which signature I use. How do I change this?

I recently upgraded to Yosemite.
When I send an Email, the receiver sees that it comes from my wife in their "from" column
We have separatee signatures that I can chose from and our Email account is identified with both of our names.
How do I change this so that when I send something, the receiver knows it is from me and not from my wife.

It may be that you have more than one outgoing mail account, and you're sending from the wrong one. From the Mail menu bar, select
          Mail ▹ Preferences...
The Mail preference dialog opens. Select the Composing tab from the row of icons at the top. From the menu labeled
          Send new messages from:
choose
          Account of selected mailbox
Note that this setting may have no effect if you start a new message while a VIP or smart mailbox is selected in the mailbox list. Those are saved searches, not actual mailboxes.
If the problem remains, select the Accounts tab in the preference dialog, then select the affected account in the list on the left.
In the Account Information pane, select the correct server in the menu labeled
          Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)
If there's only one server in the menu, select
          Edit SMTP Server List...
and add a new server with the correct settings. If you're not sure how to do that, try the Mail Settings Lookup.
Another possibility is that the wrong card in your address book is selected as yours. Select your card in the Contacts application. Then select
          Card ▹ Make This My Card
from the menu bar.

"invalid address"--solution from Apple support that worked for me

I have been among the throng who have been frustrated for the past couple of days by not being able to get even free Apps and songs from the iTunes store,let alone purchase anything,since all attempts at downloading/purchasing or even updating Apps on the iPad are met with a message "invalid address" and a link to update billing info in the store. I have called AppleCare once, and have been in an email correspondence with an iTunes support rep since May 10. After assuring her that this was not a personal credit card problem, she started to work this with me as a system problem.
First she had me correct my billing info to include Zip+4 zip codes instead of the 5 digit zip code I had entered. She had me contact the issuer of my credit card to be sure they were using zip+4 (they were not). I corrected the address by phone with the credit card company and then corrected it in my iTunes billing account,but I still was not able to get anything from the store since all attempts were met with an "invalid address" message loop.
At that point I emailed the support rep back to report no joy with her zip code+4 fix.
I changed my city name to all caps, changed my payor source to none and was able to download a free song, so I knew progress was possible,but still could not buy anything with a credit card or PayPal, both of which had had address corrections to the zip codes.
Then I got this email fix from Apple support:
"Please look over your address in the following link:
http://zip4.usps.com/zip4/
Then we will make sure that address matches in the Apple Store and iTunes. I'll walk you through this process to get you back up and running in no time.
1) Visit the My Apple ID website at:
http://appleid.apple.com
2) If the site is not displayed in your preferred language, click the Change Language link in the upper-right corner, type the name of your language in the field that appears, then click the Save button.
3) Click the "Manage your account" link.
4) Type your iTunes Store account name (which is your Apple ID) in the Apple ID field, type your password in the password field, then click the Sign In button.
5) Click "Addresses" in the column on the left. If you have multiple shipping addresses, remove any out-of-date or duplicate addresses by clicking Delete. Also, make sure the state or province field is filled out correctly for each address. To edit an address, click Edit. Edit all of your shipping addresses and make sure the appropriate state is selected in the State drop-down menus.
6) Now click "Phone Numbers" on the left. The area codes should be in the area code fields and the phone numbers should be in the phone number fields. If an area code is missing, or if it is in a phone number field, your account information may not save properly.
7) Make any other necessary corrections, then click the Save Changes button.
8) Click Log out in the upper-right corner.
When you make your next purchase on the iTunes Store, you will be asked to review your billing information. At this point, you can change your information or simply click Done at the bottom of the screen to proceed. Once you click Done, you should be able to purchase on the iTunes Store ..."
I followed this to the letter--my address was correct in the USPS zip4 site,although they use all caps for everything and I did not capitalize the street name.
When I logged into the Apple ID site I found they had 1 addresses,one perfectly correct per USPS and another with obvious errors in the street address.
I deleted the erroneous one,saved the correct one and logged out.
When I went back to the iTunes store I was able to purchase and download an App for my iPad using my original credit card.
So making sure my address matched the USPS database, then checking the address in the Apple ID site,then going back to the iTunes store worked for me.
YMMV--I am posting this because several people indicated they had not even had a (useful) reply from Apple support.

I am having the same issue....Same address for years - same as USPS - I tried 5 times (3 macs and 2 iPhones) and now i have 5 CHARGES for 1.00 each on my credit card. I took the credit card info off so they don't charge me anymore. How can they charge me yet still not allow me to download free updates and say I have an invalid address? I'm sure I will spend weeks or months trying to get a credit out of these incompetent idiots.

My iPod is not syncing the full address book

Hello, I have a problem is that this last few times that I've tried to Sync my iPod, it is not copying my full Address book. I have it set to sync the full Address Book but I am just getting a weird scattering of addresses of about a screen-full plus one address, the top one has no name in the list. I've tried going in and deleting from the Contact folder the isync.vcf but it has still not helped. It is the same sub-set that gets synced.
Help.

Subsequent software updates (OS and iTunes) has seemed to have resolved this issue.
Cheers, Andrew.

Anyway to cleanup Mail's "From" Column???

OK let's say my Dad's email is [email protected] & he is listed in my address book as Dad Monroe.
How come in the "From" column it lists I received an email from [email protected] & then in the header of the email under from it correctly lists it as "Dad Monroe"
Is there anyway to configure it such that when I receive an email from someone that has that email listed under their name in my address book, I see in the "from" column just their name as I have it listed in the address book, much like what I see in the header of the email?

I don't think you can change this. The from column uses whatever name the sender has supplied, without the email address, so "Joe" <[email protected]> will show as Joe. When I view the message, this will be matched against my address book and the name from the address book will be used in the viewing pane. If the sender has supplied only an email address without enclosing angle brackets this will be used in the from column. If they supply only an email address enclosed in angle brackets then the bracketed form will be used twice in the from column. This last has to be a bug!

Change mail's from column (received from)

I am trying out the LetterBox plugin for Mail (to get 3 vertical panels rather than the two horizontal panels). The only thing is, the "From" column shows the address, and I rather it show the smart name if I have them in my Address Book (to save some space in the panel & to make it look cleaner).
I know that I can get the e-mail header to show the smart name rather than the address, but what about the "From" column?

I don't think you can change this. The from column uses whatever name the sender has supplied, without the email address, so "Joe" <[email protected]> will show as Joe.

Could you try disabling ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on this tab (if in doubt, disable):
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category
Likely at least one of the disabled extensions will have a link to restart Firefox, go ahead and click one of those, then test whether it makes any difference.
