GW is automatically adding an extra email address in contact

Has anyone found a solution to the following:
Our district offices have an alias as well as their GroupWise address. Go into a personal address book and create a contact with the alias email address rather than the GroupWise email address and then save the contact. You will find that the GroupWise address has been automatically entered and ticked as the preferred email address.
We would like to keep the alias as the preferred address.

Working as designed. And you *really* don't want to use aliases. They
are deprecated for may years, and also absolutely unnecessary.

Hotmail/iphone automatically adding "+spam" to email addresses

Hi,
I'm having issues sending email on my iPhone 3G. OS version 4.2.1
Recently, every email I send (I'm using a hotmail account) is automatically getting "+spam" entered into the email address so it bounces back as the email address is invalid. eg: [email protected] is going out as [email protected]
I have no problems receiving email.
Does anyone have any idea how to stop this? is it iphone software, hotmail or carrier issues? cheers

Some email providers support something called “plus” addressing. Gmail is one of them.
Essentially, “plus” addressing lets you create aliases by appending additional characters to the account name part of your email address. To do this, precede it by a plus sign . For example, if your gmail address is [email protected] you can create the following alias:
[email protected]
This is quite helpful if you wnat to filter email ffrom diferent senders
I don't think that hotmail supports this but you may want to check your email settings on your iphone that the address doesn't include the +spam in it.

Multiple apple IDs. Considering adding an icloud email address.

I've had my apple ID, which is my name, for MANY years. At some point, I was forced to change my apple ID to an email address. I changed it to a yahoo.com address, an email address I've had for ages. Now I have 2 apple IDs. When I do updates on my computer I often have to log into both because some programs were originally installed with my name only ID, and others later with my yahoo account ID.
I've always been confused about Icloud, because I cannot access all of the features because I don't have an @icloud, @mac, or @me email address. I'm considering adding an icloud email address, but am afraid of what the consequences might be. I have a completely different email address that I use for all of my regular email.
Will my name only apple ID change to [email protected]?
Will the apps that I originally downloaded with the nameonly ID know this?
What will happen on my ipad and iphone5?
will i need to set up another email account on my iphone so that my pictures will stream to photos?
Thanks for your help
Todd.

You can create an iCloud account using your existing Yahoo.com ID rather than creating a new ID. (You can use the other one because it has to be in the form of an email address and linked to a verifiable email account.) To do this you would go to System Preferences>iCloud and sign in with the ID to create the account, then check the data you want to sync with iCloud. When you check Mail, you will be prompted to create your @icloud.com email address. This is the email account that goes with your iCloud account, if you wish to use iCloud email. When you type the name you would like to use for this address, iCloud will search and tell you if it's already taken by someone else, in which case you will have to choose another. Type carefully, as once created, your @icloud.com address cannot be changed. Understand that your iCloud account ID will still be your @yahoo.com address. The @icloud.com address you choose is for email only.
None of this will effect your existing purchased media using your two Apple IDs. These will stay the same as purchases are permanently tied to the ID used to purchase them. Also, Apple will not merge IDs.

HT5312 what about if you have added a rescue email address and verifyed it and the forgot your security question thing still doesnt show because i dont no my security questions ???????????????????????

what about if you have added a rescue email address and verifyed it and the i forgot my security questions still doesnt show up and i dont no the answers !?!?!?!?!?!?!?! what do i do then because i dont want to phone up !?!?!?! please help !!??!?!?!

If you have just added an address to your account then it will be an alternate email address - a rescue email address can only be added by answering 2 of your questions. You will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get the questions reset.
e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down the page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use, or you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

How to change security questions after adding a second email address?

I'm at a loss and really really frustrated with Apple for the first time in my life.
I've added a second email address and tried over the last 3 days on my iPad and Mac to change my security questions. There is no option present that I can see that allows you to do this without first entering the answers. (to which I don't know anymore)
I called Apple support (even in english) and every time the call has been dropped.
In all the years since switching to Apple I've always been impressed with the level of customer service. This is the first time that I've felt this level of sincere frustration.
I'm not sure why I have to book a time to speak with someone. Updating or changing security questions, should be a process one can do over the internet. I'm confused either way why questions are necessary if the apple password entered was correct. It's not my bank account; why the need for such extreme security just to download an app paid for by an iTunes card!
Any help or direction would be appreciated!!
Thank you
Kate

Hello there, Kate.
Apologies for your frustration. For your security the existing questions need to be answered before new ones can be created. The following Knowledge Base article provides some additional steps to try if you are unsure of the answers to the existing ones:
Apple ID: All about Apple ID security questions
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5665
Specifically:
What should I do if I don't remember the answers to my Apple ID security questions?
Try answering them at least once to see if you can get them right, even if you are not sure you remember the answers to your security questions.
If you are confident you can't remember them, try one of the following:
If you have three security questions and a rescue email address
sign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to send an email to your rescue email address to reset your security questions and answers.
If you have one security question and you know your Apple ID passwordsign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to reset your security question.
If you have one security question, but don't remember your Apple ID password
contact Apple Support for assistance. Learn more about creating a temporary support PIN to help Apple confirm your identity when you contact Apple Support.
Note: If you have forgotten your password and answer your security questions incorrectly too many times in a row, you will be unable to try to answer your security questions for a period of time. During that time you will not be able to reset your password and will not have access to your account.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro D.

Why does iPhone automatically enter my entire email address when I simply type "gmail" and how to I turn it off?

Why does my iPhone automatically enter my entire email address when I simply type "gmail" and how to I turn it off? It also does it whenever I type it in Safari (but not Chrome) and it only does it with one of my email addresses and not any of my other ones (i.e., yahoo, hotmail, etc.).
Thanks so much for your help!

I don't see visible underscores in that login form, but they appear to be entered (that form isn't high enough to show them for me).
You can verify that in the Scratchpad and use Execute > Display after pasting the below posted code.
* Firefox/Tools > Web Developer > Scratchpad (Shift+F4)
<pre><nowiki>document.getElementById("userid").value;</nowiki></pre>

The reset link will only send reset info to your rescue email address, an alternate email address is not used for account security. If you don't know what your rescue email address is (you won't be able to view/change it until you can answer your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset.

When i added my comcast email acct, my contact info is empty. how do i transfer my contacts?

when i added my comcast email acct, my contact info is empty. how do i transfer my contacts?

You have to get the contacts from the online address book into whatever application that you are using on your computer in order to sync them with iTunes
I have Comcast email as well and have never done this since all of my contacts in the online address book are already on my Mac. I believe that you can combine all of your contacts from Comcast and Outlook, Mac Address Book and other online email accounts then they can all sync with Outlook or Address Book on the Mac.
Read this online help article and I think it will link you to where you want to be to get started.

I have typed in email addresses into Contacts, but when I try to do an email, most of them have an exclamation mark and won't let me send! Where am I going wrong ? It is really sapping my confidence!

Did you set up your email account info in Settings?
Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar > Accounts > your account should be listed in there with the appropriate incoming and outgoing mail servers and correct user names and passwords.

After deleting an email address from Contacts is there any way of preventing it from popping up in the To: field of Mail when one starts to type in a contact name.

if you are not on ios 6, then all you can do is wait. if you have deleted the address from your contact list, then it will live on for a while in your 'recently used' addresses. as you use new addresses, those older ones fall down the list, and eventually fall off altogether (unless you use them again). Have patience, it will go away.
Or do the update....

How do I import an Excel column of email addresses into Contacts?

I searched on this topic and just find old references to "Address Book" which i guess does not exist anymore.
I have an Excel worksheet of about 200 names, street addresses, and email addresses, one contact in each row. One column is the email addresses, which is all I want. If I could get the names too that would be nice.
I try the Contacts import command, but cannot import the section of the worksheet I want. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I highlight the contacts column in the worksheet and go to the file with the Contacts import command and find it is "dimmed" -- I cannot click on it.
Thanks for any tips.

Save the file as Comma Separated Vars (.csv).
Then import it into Contacts.
Make sure there are no commas inside each individual field.
Then, import the file using File>Import

ICal: You must add your own card and email address in Contacts to be able to use mail alerts.

Problems with Mountain Lion. Have never had these problems previously. Have been a mac user since 1990.
iTunes no longer sends music to my airport express. NO FIX EXISTS !
Now iCal every time I want to send an email alert puts up this message: You must add your own card and email address in Contacts to be able to use mail alerts.
COME ON I HAVE DONE THIS OVER AND OVER TO NO RESULT.
MACINTOSH WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
UNHAPPY !

Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work.

If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode. Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal.
