Changing Sender's Display Name?

Hey everyone,
I've been looking around for an answer to this, but I haven't had any luck. I am wanting to change the display name of a sender's email to match that sender's details in my address book. I know that the sender's display name is something that is set by that sender, but is there an Applescript or a plugin that will help me here?!
For example, some of my emails contain sender's names as UPPERCASE, lowercase, as email addresses, or as a nickname that they have set. I want to make Mac Mail recognise the email address of the sender, match that email address with the appropriate person in my address book, then apply to that email the sender's name as it appears in my address book.
As far as I am aware this is not possible in Mac Mail and is a major shortcoming considering that other mail applications are able to do this.
Thanks a lot.

How do I get gmail to display correctly in Apple Mail?

We sync our Google email to Apple's Mail app on the Mac, iPad, and iPhone. The mail does not display correctly, the text keeps going and cuts off so you have to swipe to the right to reveal the rest of the message. We are syncing gmail through IMAP. Does anyone know how to get Gmail to display correctly with Apple Mail?

Same here. I'm using office 2013. It is hard to believe, That there is still no solution for that problem. Parallels desktop and office 2013 lets you dictate, Though there is still no way to get the new line or new paragraph
command to get to work in word or outlook. Do you think this isn't a apple issue or a Microsoft issue? On Windows in the ordinary editor the commands work well.
I actually changed to mac for this killerfeature and i really need it. Now it does not work in the most common office app..

Get combo box display name

HI,
I have <h:selectOneMenu on my application is there a way to get the display name out of the combo box
I can get the value OK.
thanks

The option label you mean? No, those aren't sent as request parameters. Only the currently selected option value will be. But why would you ever need to get it as request parameter? Usually you already know the value-label pairs in the server side. Just have some Map<ValueType, LabelType> in the backing bean, display it as dropdown list using f:selectItems and in the action method you can just get the label by selected value. Whyever you need the label for.
That said, a "combo box" is a technically wrong term in this case. It's actually a "dropdown list". A combo box is a manually editable dropdown list. The h:selectOneMenu isn't, it's a fixed dropdown list.

Email Sender's display name not displaying/resolving on internal emails with POP/IMAP clients

Here's the scenario. I have two 2013 test accounts setup in Outlook as POP/SMTP accounts. I have their name setup as initials in the outlook account (the "Your Name" field). If I send an email (Through SMTP) to a 2013 Exchange(Outlook
Anywhere) client, their names resolve to their actual Display Name in the GAL which is correct. Now if I send an email to another 2013 POP/IMAP user, their name shows what is setup in Outlook which is their initials which is not correct.
Now we are currently in the process of a 2007 to 2013 migration. I do not see this behavior on the Exchange 2007 side with POP/IMAP clients. If I run the same test setup with a 2007 mailbox as the recipient, the sender's name resolves to
their GAL display name and NOT the name configured in the Outlook Account settings. It doesn't matter whether the sender is a 2007 or 2013 account. As long as the recipient is on 2007 it works fine.
This is all tested using authenticated SMTP. The only difference I can tell is that the 2007 servers resolve the name before delivering it to the inbox where the 2013 servers don't.
There aren't any GAL or Address Book related issues on the 2013 side. Full exchange clients or OWA work correctly.

Hi,
It seems to be related to the permission settings on the receive connector. For example, using a Receive Connector for Anonymous Relay. We can refer to this article:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa996395(v=exchg.141).aspx
And we can use the tool Dsacls to check the permissions:

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

How to get Airport Utility display name of connected devices ?

Hello,
I would like to see what devices are connected on my Time Capsule.
Usually, Airport Utility shows:
- MAC address, IP address and client ID in DHCP tab
- MAC address in wireless client tab with signal level plotted on graphic
So, it's a little awkward, but you can assume that:
- wired devices are connected if they show in DHCP tab
- wireless devices are connected if they show in Wireless client tab. Then you can assume what wireless device it is, using the MAC address as identifier and reading client ID
Usually client ID are plain readable, like "iPhone Bob", "Mac of Sarah", etc...
Sometimes there is a third party manufacturer cryptic info.
Sometimes there is nothing. For example with my Canon printer
With time, i've learned to know what MAC address my devices are, and consigned them in a list; but i found it painful to go to my list of devices and retrieve them with their MAC adresses. I would like airport utility to make this association, like they do for apple devices
So my question is:
Is there any file that i can edit to associate the Mac address of the device with the name i want ?
I suppose there might be some hosts file somewhere ?
thanks

I've found an xml config file in ~/library/application Support/Apple/Airport/
There is a
<key>hostname</key>
<string>Canon Printer</string>
missing, that I have added. Now all DHCP devices have disappeared in Airport utility (but are still connected); i guess they will reappear once the dhcp bail has been renewed, (in one day) but that won't change anything, as this xml file is likely an output, not an input.
I'll keep you posted

Workflow Issue : Email sender display name not as the same as alert email sender

Dear Support,
we customized a workflow for sending alert to some user when someone create a new item in the specified document library.
what we already done as below
1. the email sender address has been setup at "Central Administrator", for example "[email protected]".
2. team site title is "Customer Center Platform".
3. we customized a new workflow to trigger system send a email to recipient when someone create a new record.
what we expected is
Recipient will got a email which send from "[email protected]", the email display name should be "Customer Center Platform [[email protected]]", but in this case, the display name is "[email protected]".
it's been our experience that when we used "Alert Me" function, system will send the email and used "Customer Center Platform [[email protected]]" as email display name.
we want to change workflow email sender display name, what can we do? we are looking forward to your advice, many thanks.

Dear Hemendra,
thanks for your reply.
we follow the below guide to setup the workflow step by step
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/publicsector/archive/2007/05/22/document-workflow-how-to-sending-an-email-with-sharepoint-2007-moss.aspx
we used "Send an email" Action, the recipient can receive email, but the email sender's display name is "[email protected]",
we want to change to "Customer Center Platform [[email protected]]".
There is a native "Alert me" function under sharepoint team site, we compared the email sender display name, we found the display name in "Alert me" notification email
is "Customer Center Platform [[email protected]]".
we have no idea what is wrong when we setup the workflow.

Apex_mail - Email Display Name

We have had a request from a client to send the display name of the sender along with the email address in the format (Display Name <[email protected]>). When i try to use the send procedure i encounter errors. I know that emails can be sent with a display name.
Does anyone have any experience with this matter?
Regards
Kevin
p_from => 'Kevin Mann <[email protected]>',

I configured mail on a APEX 3.0.1 instance yesterday and immediately got a 501 error. This is what I found.
The examples in the documentation for APEX_MAIL and UTL_SMTP are wrong. Here's a snippet from the first example in "Oracle® Database PL/SQL Packages and Types Reference 10g Release 2".
BEGIN
c := UTL_SMTP.OPEN_CONNECTION('smtp-server.acme.com');
UTL_SMTP.HELO(c, 'foo.com');
UTL_SMTP.MAIL(c, '[email protected]');
UTL_SMTP.RCPT(c, '[email protected]');
Sniffing the packets using ethereal, the SMTP commands generated are
HELO foo.com
MAIL FROM:[email protected]
RCPT TO:[email protected]
In other words the strings supplied to UTL_SMTP.MAIL and UTL_SMTP.RCPT are passed to the respective SMTP commands verbatim without any checking, filtering, or modification. In this example, according to RFC 821 and RFC 2821, this creates invalid parameters since the address in the MAIL FROM and RCPT TO commands is suppose to be enclosed in '<' and '>'. In other words the example above should read.
BEGIN
c := UTL_SMTP.OPEN_CONNECTION('smtp-server.acme.com');
UTL_SMTP.HELO(c, 'foo.com');
UTL_SMTP.MAIL(c, '<[email protected]>');
UTL_SMTP.RCPT(c, '<[email protected]>');
However, most modern mail transport agents seem to be liberal about what they accept and can figure it out. Unfortunately, the MTA my organization uses is old and strict, and wants the pointy brackets.
In APEX_MAIL the two parameters to send (p_to and p_from) seem to pass directly to UTL_SMTP.MAIL and UTL_SMTP.RCPT verbatim which means it's documentation is also wrong because it omits the pointy brackets.
So if you were trying to do.
apex_mail.send(p_to => 'Oracle <[email protected]>',
p_from => 'Kevin Mann <[email protected]>',
p_body => 'Hello World!');
Then receiving a 501 error would be correct according to the SMTP specs. The correct syntax would be
apex_mail.send(p_to => '<[email protected]>',
p_from => '<[email protected]>',
p_body => 'From: Oracle <[email protected]>' || utl_tcp.crlf ||
'To: Kevin Mann <[email protected]>' || utl_tcp.crlf ||
'Hello World!');
But again, some MTA's will figure it out (the Postfix 2.2.10 server I was testing on gave a error, but the other much older MTA didn't).
Basically using UTL_SMTP or APEX_MAIL is the same as sending mail using telnet and typing the SMTP commands in by hand.

Wrong email display name with german umlauts (MS Exchange 2003)

We use 6 iPhones with Exchange 2003 and get wrong email display names with german umlauts (ä,ü,ö) - but the email-body is right.
We get special characters instead of umlauts, so the display name split into pieces. Anwering is not posipble - we get a failure-message.
We changed the standard-internet-mailformat on the exchange-server to unicode utf-8. First it works fine, after a few hours the names displays wrong again.
So we use this hotfix:
http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb%3Ben-us%3B916299&x=11&y=13
Same result: First it works fine, after a few hours the names displays wrong again at the iPhone.
Any ideas?

Do you have commas in the display name? We used to have "Müller, Thomas" <[email protected]> and then got the split up and special characters you mention. Tests have shown that when leaving out the comma in the display name, e.g. "Thomas Müller" <[email protected]>, everything worked fine.
Guess it's a question of whether a company wants to change its naming convention for a few iPhone users...

Cannot search EAC by Display Name - Must search by Alias

My company is slowly migrating users from E2k7 to E2k13.
We have noticed on several occasions that room resources that are on E2k13 can only be found in EAC when we search by their Alias. We absolutely cannot search by a display name.
However on some rooms we can search by the display name.
Any known issue here? Or anyone experience this?

Hi Johnny,
We can search the rooms by using Alias, if they also working well, then it seems the migration from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013 complete successfully.
Did someone rename the display names? It needs some time to cover the modification.
Please also get mailbox via display names to verify whether we input the correct display names.
Command as below:
Get-Mailbox DisplayName
If everything going well except the "searching via display name on some users", I suggest intalling the CU3 or SP1. The Exchange 2013 SP1 will release in a short time later.
Hope it is helpful
Thanks

Mapping Display Name

OIM 11.1.1.5.4
I'm using a DBAT (11.1.1.5.0) to map data...in stage I've concatenated firstname and lastname and mapped it to Full Name.
After it runs, Display Name is filled in...what's up with that ... why have full name and display name ... when there is no full name field, only a display name field.
I'll change the stage map to point to Display Name.
Q's:
1. has anyone figured out how to concatenate 3 fields ... firstname + middlename + lastname ... in the DBAT connector
2. how do you deal with names with foreign characters ... if present, the connector fails to update display name (well full name) ... even though first-middle-last names are filled in.

Re-mapping the FN+LN concatenated field to DiplayName resolved the issue of DisplayName not getting populated if either FN or LN had a special character.
However, now the DisplayName contains a '?" if either FN or LN is something like Jose' (Jo?e) or Andre' (Andre?).
Running SQL> select USR_DISPLAY_NAME from USR where USR_DISPLAY_NAME LIKE '%?%';
Returns 250 rows.
I'm thinking it is the grave sign that is problematic, as the single quote shows up fine in last names.

How to link yahoo email & automatically update display name in im

foremost, got myself a new 8520...i'm actually surprised how somewhat integrated/very user-friendly blackberry is..so far, it seems to be the best device in the business in terms of messaging/communication...i'm still an android user tho... anyway, couple of questions :
1. you know you can "link" im ids to contacts easily, how to do it when you receive an email and you want to link/insert the email address of the sender to an existing contact ? you can do that but you have to copy and paste instead of "link to bb contact" like you do with im ids.
2. probably its feedback for future upgrade, if you want to link/add an emai id to your contact, it'll more practical if you highlight the sender's (display) name and just link to contact, yet under this contact the actual email address is shown+saved rather than the display name.
3. if you link an im id for example yahoo messenger to a contact, should the display name automatically be that of the contact name instead of manually changing the display name for each contact ?
4. hopefully in the near future, there's only 1 messaging app instead of having ym, google talk, bbm separately....
thanks.

How do I get rid of group names

How do I get rid of group names in contacts, I seem to have loads of group names ??

Those are not users. They're computers or printers on the network. Your Wi-Fi network may be insecure. Check the router settings to make sure you're using WPA 2 security, and if you are, change the password to a random string of at least ten upper- and lower-case letters and digits. Any password that you can remember is not good enough.

Full name change on Mail

My Apple ID had a relatives name registered to it, because at the time I was using their credit card. I changed the name on the account to my own over a year ago, and everything has adjusted except the Mail app on my mac. Under the "Full Name" field is still has the old name and the field is greyed out.
If I look at the iCloud account in the "Internet Accounts" section of system preferences, it has my name correct, only Mail still has the old name.

MacBook Airs won't run Classic, nor will Classic connect to iCloud accounts. You will need your Mac OS X version to answer the question involved. Go to Apple menu -> About This Mac, and post in the appropriate forum in the link below:
