Has Yosemite corrected Mavericks' Mail/Contacts problem with Groups?

After I switched from Snow Leopard to Mavericks, I found that I could no longer list a Contact Group name in the To block of an email without all of the addresses in the group showing, despite having Mail Preferences set so that all of the addresses wouldn't show. The work-around for this problem is having to put Contact Group names in the Blind Copy section of an email. Does anyone know if Yosemite has corrected this problem?
Thanks,
Bob W.

Thanks Barney. I assumed that Yosemite hadn't corrected the problem.
However, I'm not sure where you got the information that the "BCC" section on Mail email forms was designed to be used for "Group" addresses from Mac's Address Book (now Contacts). The "BCC" section of the email form was designed to be used by email composers who wanted copies of their emails to go to addresses that they wanted to keep hidden from those whose addresses appeared in the "To" section of the email.
The "Group" address feature in Contacts were created to allow email senders the option to send emails to large numbers of addressees that had something in common (such as a group of relatives of the sender, or in my case, members of a club), so that you didn't have to type in large numbers of addresses in the "To" window every time you wanted to send to such a group. At the same time, it kept the addresses hidden from all of those who received the email as well as from spammers.
Mac also gives (or did give) you the option to have the addresses in the Group in the "To" window to show or not to show. Go to "Preferences-Composing" section in Mail and you'll see that under the "Addressing" heading, you're given the option "When sending to a group, show all member addresses." Since that option is normally unchecked, the default is to not have the addresses show. Unless you opt to allow the addresses to show, only the name that you've given the Group shows in the "To" window of the email.
If the Group addresses in Contacts were designed to be placed in the "BCC" section of an email, there would be no purpose in having that Preference option available in Mail Preferences. The problem with having to use the "BCC" section of the email for Group addresses is that many email server companies assume that high numbers of addresses showing in the "BCC" section of an email is an indicator that the email is coming from a spammer, so the use of "BCC" for large numbers of email addresses can cause problems. The use of "Group" address names in the "To" window avoids those problems.

Maverick Mail Printing Problem: prints email header on separate page from body of email. Why?!

Maverick Mail Printing Problem: prints email header on separate page from body of email. Why?!

For what it's worth, I can report exactly the same problem. I just recently converted from Outlook for Mac 2011 to Mail. I did the conversion while running Yosemite. I like pretty much everything about Mail EXCEPT that it take 2 pages to print a 1 page email!! The header appears on the top of p.1, followed by a blank space. The message begins at the top of p.2.
If you scale it down, you can get the message to begin to appear on the bottom of p.1, but clearly, Mail is inserting BIG SPACE between the header and the message. Changing the display fonts for Mail had no apparent effect (except that the font DID change, of course)....still a BIG SPACE between the header and the message.
Coming to Mail for the first time, I would have assumed that this was just a quirk of Mail, but am I understanding that some of you Mail users out there USED TO NOT have this problem?? I think it's pretty clear that it's Mail that's causing the problem, not the message, because I went over to my old Outlook and printed the same couple of messages with no such space between the header and the message. So Mail is inserting a space into the print formatted email message that is NOT there in Outlook's print formatted same message.
Be really nice to get rid of this problem, but my Apple Care free support has expired. Not sure I want to pay for something that's generic to Mail!! Anyone else made any progress on this?

Problems sending mail: some problem with the outgoing mail server SMTP?

I can't send e mails: some problem with the outgoing mail server SMTP?

I had this same problem with both my imac and mac book pro using hotmail via mac mail with bt as my internet provider. Suddenly 4 months ago out of nowhere i could receive emails but could not send them. I scoured all the threads followed all the fixes none of them worked. However I just phoned apple support and fixed it in a matter of minutes. I am SO happy. This is what the technician advised me:
Go to your apple icon and scroll down to system preferences. Then dependant on what machine you have it is different for my imac and mac book pro click on either air port/wifi then the advanced tab in the bottom right hand corner. Then click on the DNS tab. Hit the + sign on the left hand side and type in 8.8.8.8 then hit the + sign again on the left hand side it will create a new line underneathe and type 8.8.4.4 then hit okay on the bottom right and then hit apply, again on the bottom right. Then send a test email to check but it should be fixed.
Had to share this. Its been driving me mad for months.

Please help.... cannot get into the ITUNES account. It says unknown error has occured. Is there a problem with ITunes?

Same thing happened with my iPhone 4S - no one is any help. Thanks Apple for such a crappy update! I've called Apple, they say the SIM card needs replacing, I go to my service provider they tell me nothing wrong with the SIM card - provider tells me I now need a new phone. Sheesh! If someone has a solution to this it would be greatly appreciated.

Result set problem with GROUP BY

hi there, this should be the simplest of queries but.........
when run, the list size is 13, this is the number of letting units in the table. it appears not to be grouping by the property id.if it was doing this there should only be 8 rows. having said this, the while loop should output the count of each row, it does this 8 times with the correct counts. it then crashes with a invalid curser error. it appears the query is workig correctly but the resultset thinks its got 13 rows when it only has 8.
accessing ms access db
using jdbc:odbc
heres the code
searchResults = stmt.executeQuery(
"SELECT Count(*) AS FreeUnits " +
"FROM letting_units " +
"GROUP BY letting_units.property_id");
searchResults.last();
listSize = searchResults.getRow();
searchResults.beforeFirst();
System.out.println(listSize);
while (searchResults.next())
System.out.println(searchResults.getString(1));
hope someone can help me
cheers
andy

It's not the problem with GROUP BY. You should use scrollable result set to move in both directions (forward and backward).
In your code
searchResults.beforeFirst(); line may return false. So you will get the searchResults.next() false. Once you move forward in non-scrollable cursor cannot come back. So when you create the statement object use TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE or TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE constants provided in the ResultSet.

Problem with Group policies and Administrator count

I have one problem with Group policies and Admnistrator count.
Win XP, Client 4.91, Client Zen 4
I use DLU for users.
the Group policies are well applied and i keep them after logout for
security reasons.
But my problem is, after logout, the Administrator count becomes this
Group policies, and the only technique that I use, is to remove the
repertories c:\windows\system32\GroupPolicy*. Administrator must
loguing again for having good policies.

Has Yosemite fixed Maverick's Mail problem with Group email addresses?

Does anyone know if Yosemite has fixed the problem that Maverick's Mail program had with Contacts? Maverick's Mail program cannot show Group Address names in the email "To:" window. By default, it shows all of the email addresses in a Group rather than the Group name. The work-around requires putting Group Addresses in the "Bcc:" window. Has that problem been fixed in Yosemite?
Many thanks,
Bob Winckler

Hi Barney,
Just found out that Maverick's problem with Mail's Group address procedure has resulted in my email accounts being put on hold by my Internet Provider. I'm the president of a local club, and I routinely send out emails to 200+ email addresses several times a month. Since Maverick's Mail now doesn't keep Group addresses hidden when shown in the email "To:" window, we have to put those Group addresses into the "Bcc:" window. The first couple of times that I did that, the emails went through, but the third time that I tried to send out such an email, my Internet Provider shut down my email account with the statement "Your ability to send new mail has been suspended as a high volume of suspicious mail has been sent from your account recently. Please contact your IT administrator." The IT administrator required me to run a virus check and then set a new password for my account before they would reactivate it. In my discussions with several of my Internet Provideer's tech reps, it appears that the way the way that the Internet Provider has their server's security system set, a high volume of email addresses in the "Bcc:" section of emails is enough to shut down an account as suspicious. Until Apple gets this problem fixed, my only options are to switch internet providers (after finding one that will let high volumes of "Bcc:" go through) or switch to an older Mac operating system, which I've done (now using an ancient iMac 400DV running Tiger (OS 10.4.11). Given the high number of businesses, etc., likely to be using Macs, I'm really surprised that Apple has let this problem with Maverick's Mail program go uncorrected.
Best regards,

Yahoo Mail push problem with stock email app

It is nice to see that Verizon is offering push services for yahoo mail (and possibly for others as well, I only tried yahoo) on select phones now, the Droid Charge being one of them. If you add a yahoo account in the stock email app, it configures it through "Verizon email gateway server" and the messages will be pushed to the phone just like gmail had been, and you will get your new messages almost instantaneously.
I previously had an htc incredible and that phone did not have that feature. My e-mails were being checked at an interval that I could select, but not pushed.
What this email gateway does is (as I understand it): 1) your phone sends your credentials to the gateway server where they are stored, 2) the server connects to yahoo mail servers with your credentials, and 3) whenever there is a new message, the gateway server retrieves and pushes it to your phone, in other words it pretty much acts as the middle man that has a notification capability. The gateway server only accesses your inbox folder and it only does incoming services. For other things such as sending messages or checking other folders, your phone connects to yahoo mail servers directly. My incredible on the other hand used to connect to yahoo mail servers directly for everything including inbox access and unfortunately those servers do not have the push capability to mobile devices.
I got the Charge over two weeks ago and enjoyed push on yahoo for about ten days. But then suddenly it stopped working. It would no longer update my inbox even when I selected refresh through the menu. If I went into other folders, they would update and I could send emails. However, my inbox would not update. I waited a day, then I went into settings/apps/manage apps and deleted the cache and data of the mail application to fix a possible glitch. (It works on the market app when all of your downloaded apps disappear from the list every once in a while due to a glitch)
I ended up with a blank inbox that couldn't download any of the messages. Then I removed the yahoo account and tried to readd. Now I get the "Fetching mailbox failed, retrying. . ." error and sometimes it retries for up to a half hour (until I manually stop it) or sometimes it says "Unable to connect to server" after a couple of minutes.
Following is a list of things I tried:
1) Set up a different Yahoo account:
Works without a glitch, push enabled
2) Try the original email account with wrong password:
Gives a credential error, so password authentication is not the problem
3) Manual configuration through selecting "Others" rather than "Yahoo Mail" in the add account menu:
Unchecking "Use Verizon email gateway" makes it work, but without push. My phone is able to connect to Yahoo servers directly with the same exact settings
I am pretty sure the problem is with the Verizon gateway server having a glitch with my email account. So someone in charge of that server has to go through the list of accounts set up and either reset or delete mine, so I can set it up again through my phone.
I called Verizon support the other day and finally talked to a level 2 rep after having to do the restart, take battery out and all that nonsense. It took them a while to understand the actual situation. It's not their fault really, my problem is complicated and a level 2 rep simply does not have that kind of knowledge. They tried to connect me to Samsung representatives, which was a waste of time, because there is nothing wrong with the hardware as it works with a different yahoo account with no problems, and it also works when connecting to yahoo directly. After spending two and a half hours on the phone, and after the rep talked to her supervisor and the samsung reps to learn more about the verizon gateway server, she finally told me I was right about the issue, and assured me that they would fix it and call me within two hours.
It has been two days, I haven't heard a thing.
What frustrates me is that there wasn't a single person there who could even grasp what could be causing the issue. They had never heard about the email gateway, I had to explain to them. I am not mad that the level 2 rep or her supervisor didn't know, but I am pretty **bleep** that they could not put me in touch with a person who did.
I know there is at least one person at Verizon who manages the gateway server, but the question is how can anyone contact him???
Verizon keeps offering these new services that are really cool for the most part, but their support system is very disconnected from their engineers/technical staff. The customer service is unable to fix problems other than billing issues, and their answer for everything else is to "take the battery out and restart the phone".
For now, I set up my account manually, without the Verizon email gateway, so I don't have "push" working. It's a shame because it is such an easy thing to fix only if I could get in touch with the right person.

UPDATE:
After waiting for about ten days, I tried setting up my e-mail the regular way (by selecting yahoo mail) again yesterday. To my surprise, it went through without a glitch. I guess the cache of the gateway server must have been reset.
I have been enjoying push for yahoo mail for the last 24 hours again. But I just noticed now, that the problems might be starting again. There are recent e-mails that don't show up on my phone, but do through yahoo's web mail page. When I select "refresh" through the menu on the phone, I see the circle in the top corner spinning for as long as I wait, but the e-mails don't get downloaded. That is exactly how my problems had started in the first place. I will give it the benefit of the doubt and wait and hope that it fixes itself.
There might be a compatibility problem with yahoo servers and the verizon email gateway because I have two gmail accounts set up with the stock e-mail the same way, both using verizon's gateway server for push, and they have both been working with no problems for almost a month. (Even though sometimes the "push" is delayed by up to 5-10 min, most of the time it is within a couple of minutes and that's fine, I'm not that picky) And when I do "refresh", ti only takes a few seconds to complete the request.
And I still haven't heard anything from Verizon.

ICloud not syncing and Contact problems with merging duplicates

I was having problems with the syncing of my notes app. When I got the iphone 5 I had since using Mountain Lion I had started to make use of the fact that the notes sync across iCloud. Great. Although not for long. Everything was going fine notes were syncing across devices but then spontaneously they stopped syncing for no apparent reason. I then went to look in settings, looked online and all through discussion forums. Switching notes on and off on icloud both on the macbook and on my iphone. Restarting devices etc etc. iCloud itself online was not able to access the notes app. I kept getting error messages that I would submit to apple. Then I finally relqinquished and unhooked the iCloud accounts from the computer and phone. And at the sacrifice of losing albums in my photostream they sprung back to syncing.
Then the real problem happened. I had selected to keep a copy of my address book in contacts when I unhooked my computer just in case. When everything linked back up again, I then had duplicates in my address book. Not 1 (this can happen just having icloud active) but 5 sets of duplicates, granted I had kept a version from when I unhooked. So I looked around again for how I could quickly and easily get rid of duplicates. Following suggestions online I go into contacts>cards>look for duplicates. I had 1200 or somthing duplicates, so naturally when given the option "would you like to merge the info in these duplicates I click yes. The MacBook starts to chugg away. Its gonna take a while. So I come back later. And before returning to CONTACTS, go to send a message from MESSAGES and I notice that 80% of the threads have no name. I go back to CONTACTS and WHAM 100s of contacts disappeared in the merge never to be retrieived again. You cant restore CONTACTS from Time Machine as it is just mirrors the contacts that you have in present time. Restoring phone doesn't work becasue it just downloads from iCloud after it has restored. TOTALLY RIDICULOUS. I am livid.

what I mean is - create a complete new contact on your contacts and select a picture for it from your Mac. Then set it as "make this my card"
Once you have done that - presumably it will sync with iCloud - have a look and the contact should appear on your iPhone too.
On your iPhone go on Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendar> Under "Contacts: in "My Info" select That new contact you created on your Mac.
Let me know if that works.
-On another note, so what you are saying is, if I take my 15' Macbook Pro in and they have none of the old ones in stock, they just give you a Retina display one! Did you take it to them for the contact issue you were having or something else?

How can I sync my yahoo mail contact list with my ipad2?

How can I sync my yahoo contact list with my iPad 2?

Found the answer from another discussion here and it did work in about 2 minutes:
in settings, click mail, contacts , calendars
you need to add two accounts:
one for mail as a Yahoo account
another per the instructions below
Yahoo syncs contacts by adding a CardDAV account:
Tap Mail, Contacts, Calendars
Tap Add Account
Tap Other and then tap Add CardDAV Account
For the Server you need to enter carddav.address.yahoo.com
Now type in the Yahoo! ID (full email address) and password you use to sign in to your Yahoo! Contacts
why not all in one? who knows!
Ps. You might have to do several tries with and without the .xxx extesion to the account name
Yahoo has multiples with att and all othr isp's

Viewing HTML e-mail and problems with = (equal sign)

Good day,
I am having problems with apple mail rendinering html e-mail messages. There are extra = in the message body. The = appears to be line continuation character in the HTML. I have no problems viewing the message in Thunderbird or Entorage, but Mac Mail is a problem. The = appears to be displayed as a literal rather than part of the html reconstruction. Any thoughts as how to resolve this issue?

Looks like there is a common theme there. It is probably just that the original message has been corrupted somehow. Some mail clients try harder to understand corrupted data than others. I can't really tell from your original post. With mail messages, you really need to have the original data, not copied and pasted and not forwarded. If you have such a mail message, save it as raw source, put it into a zip file, and e-mail it to me. I can tell if it is an Apple Mail problem or a MS problem. If it is an Apple problem, I can file a detailed bug report on it. You can find an e-mail address for me by Googling my nickname.

Problem with Groups from Address Book in Apple Mail

I have set up a group in my address book. When I use Apple Mail I use this group to send specific messages to. But for some reason I keep getting error messages saying that my outgoing sever encountered a problem with the messgae. It only happens when I send messages with a group, not if I send messages to single recipients. The group consists of 90 emails, so I can't enter their emails each time I want to send a message to the group.
Thanks in advance,
Regards

I am having a similar problem. All the addresses are correct, and I know this because I use them all the time with no errors. BUT when bundled into a group - actually any group I set up I cannot send successfully. I have two groups in my mail program and neither will work.

Has Yosemite corrected Mavericks' Mail/Contacts problem with Groups?
