Help, copied address in mail are reversed.

When I use the contextual menu in Mail to copy a mail address into Address Book the first and last names are reversed. It makes no difference what the Address Book preference is set for. It drives me nuts. Any ideas how to correct this?

Anyone else have this problem?

Can someone explain "copy address" in Mail?

I have never understood why when you click on an address in an e-mail and then select "copy address" what you get is not only the address but also the name. For instance, "[email protected]" when you copy and paste yields "Name <[email protected]>". This is a royal pain because if I for instance want to paste this in another application like in the address field for Evernote to send a note to someone, I then have to manually remove everything but the actual e-mail address.
So can someone explain why Mail does it this way? What am I missing? Is there an easier way to copy just the e-mail address that won't give me the extra crap?

10.6: Change Mail's 'Copy Address' behavior - Mac OS X Hints will also work for Mountain Lion.
Outstanding! And I love the commentary, "incredibly irritating". This is one of those, "what were they thinking?" changes. There must be some logic behind the change but I have never figured it out.
Glad someone figured out how to fix it.

HELP! Emails in Mail are suddenly gone. How do I change this?

Hello -- Using Leopard 10.5.5 and Mail 3.5. Can I change it so that Mail does not automatically delete emails? In the Mail app on my iBook, the emails never go away (unless I delete them..) Yet on my G5 and my MacPro the emails get deleted after awhile. Thanks for any input.

What type of account is this -- is this your AOL IMAP account?
In Mail, there is no option to ever delete messages in the Inbox, so what you report does not fit any setting you would be able to change. However, AOL, by policy, removes messages from your Inbox folder after 27 days. To avoid this, the messages must be moved the Saved folder. This would not be different from earlier versions of Mail on other Macs, but perhaps the passage time has made a difference?
More Info, please.

Copying and Pasting E-Mail addresses from Mail To, From, CC Fields

In previous versions of Mail, you could copy an e-mail address from the To, From, or CC fields and past it into a document. In Mail 4.0 (mad 4.1), when you do this, the address shows up just as it appears in the field from which it was copied.
Here's an example. First, the address as it appears in the From field:
(1) John Smith <[email protected]>
Earlier versions of Mail would allow you to select this address, copy it and paste it as
(2) [email protected]
Now, however, you get the whole thing as in (1), a real nuisance if all you want is the e-mail address itself. Two questions. First, rhetorically, why would anyone want to make this change? Second, is there any way to persuade Mail to revert to its earlier behavior?

Hello!

My mail forms created by muse 2014.0.1.30 do not work. PHP 5.4 is enabled by hoster, so they should work. Can anyone help me, for these forms are crucial for my business.

My mail forms created by muse 2014.0.1.30 do not work. PHP 5.4 is enabled by my hoster, so they should work. Can anyone help me, for these forms are crucial for my business. The forms confirm delivery, but the mails are not recieved. No spam filters enabled.
Meanwhile, I was able to narrow the problem down: PHP seems not to accept a re-directed mail address as sender of the mail in some cases. So, it has nothing to do with the mail form itself.

Hi Ingo,
Please refer to this document, Troubleshooting Muse Form Widgets Used on Third-Party Servers
Last section, "I've uploaded my new Muse form, and tried submitting it in the browser, but I never receive an email with the form data. What's wrong?"

I took my iMac to be fixed and when i got it back, mail was not set up. I called Apple Support and they helped me set up mail. Then the emails went to trash on the iMac and on the MacBook Pro (same emails). There are no numbers by the 'inbox' to tell how

I took my iMac to be fixed and when I got it back, mail was not set, so I called Apple and they helped me set up mail. Now the new mail goes to trash and there is no number by the 'inbox' to tell me how many new messages I have. I cannot save a draft to 'drafts.' There is a large number by 'trash' (I think all mail went to trash - including drafts). When I send myself an emai, it goes to trash also. This is on both my iMac (the one taken in) and my MacBook Pro (same emails) which was not taken in.
I went to 'rules' but have no idea what to do there. There are no rules in the rule box. When I click 'add rule' it puts 'rule 1' in the rule box, but since that was not there when I took it in, I delete it to have an empty rule box.
Can someone pleasehelp me. I am completely stupid with all this. Do not under stand what is suppose to be set up in 'rules.'
Thank you so much,
Arudi

Now new mail is coming to both computer's inboxes but there is no number on the stamp icon on dock to show number of emails on the iMac. Nor is there a number by either email address under MAILBOXES/inbox (sidebar) on the iMac. This number is showing on MacBook Pro.
I also can save drafts now on both computers.
Seems the Pro is fixed and the iMac is only missing the numbers on dock icon and by addresses in inbox.
Now that the problem is less, I feel i am wasting your time but will continue so maybe I can get those numbers back.
Two emails > AT&T email and gmail.
Apple's Mail program for email - yes, and gmail.
IMAP for both accounts.
Did not change mail configuration on MacBook.
The iMac and MacBook Pro have the same mail configuration except in Accounts/mailbox behaviours/store draft messages on the server was not marked on MacBook > it is now.
'Store junk messages on the server' was marked on one computer for gmail, but is unmarked on both now.
On the iMac, Accounts/Accounts info/Outgoing mail for gmail is smtpgmail.
On the MacBook Pro for gmail it is smpt.gmail.com (plus) my email address.
Rules/Add rule window, on the MacBook third line is 'Any Recipient', on the iMac third line is 'From."
The last box on that line has my email address on the MacBook.
The last box on that line has the last address I sent an emil to (last night), on the iMac.
On the last line on iMac, no box was selicted for 'to mailbox' > I choose 'inbox' because it is on the MacBook Pro.
Now I have a Rule #1 and am not sure I should have because there was no rules marked when I took the computer in.
Thank you. I relized I had done the labeling wrong when so much of my question appeared twice and no one else's did. I know how to do it now.
Thank you so much,
Arudi

Help! all outgoing messages are copied to me-very irritating

Help! all outgoing messages are copied to me-very irritating

I've now done Literally every possible thing listed in the help
or that I was told to do in this thread, and nothing has worked.
Not sure what you mean. Have you tried uninstalling all the plug-ins as well? In the Finder, go to each of the following folders (if they exist). What do you see there?
/Library/InputManagers/
/Library/Mail/Bundles/
~/Library/InputManagers/
~/Library/Mail/Bundles/
To make accurately reporting this information easier, you may open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal, type the following command (you can just copy it here and paste it in Terminal), and press <Return>. You can then copy the output of that command from Terminal and paste it in your reply to this post:
ls -1 /Library/InputManagers /Library/Mail/Bundles ~/Library/InputManagers ~/Library/Mail/Bundles
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the folder path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the folder path there.

The first time an iPhone is connected to iTunes that is used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device or to set up the iPhone as a new iPhone.
The former does as provided - it transfers the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device to the iPhone replacing all data on the iPhone that is included with the backup being transferred. The latter does nothing allowing you to make your various selections for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
This is designed to be done right away with a new iPhone.
If you don't have a backup for the iPhone with iTunes on your computer and don't have an iCloud backup that hasn't been updated since choosing to transfer the backup for your iPod Touch to the iPhone, the data that was on the iPhone is gone.

You could select Reply All from the icons above the email.

Change Mail's 'Copy Address' behavior

All,
the old hint (see http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20091203062729936)) no longer works.
<<
In versions of Mail prior to OS X 10.6, you could copy an email address from a message by Control-clicking on the address and choosing Copy Address from the contextual menu. As part of my job, I do this a lot -- users will email me, asking to look up their account name, for instance, so I need to paste their email address into a web form.

Any ideas how to solve this behauvior in Maverics?

Thank you. I suspected as much.
If anyone else happens to have knowledge about 3rd party apps...I would appreciate hearing about it.
Although KiltedTim brings up a good point that I hadn't mentioned...I specifically want this to work with business email pushed from Exchange via ActiveSync...

Hey guys,
So this is follow up from my debarkle with the EDD. I found out my problem with copying files from Mac to EDD and vice versa was a result of a not so good EDD ( i had an apollo hard drive from imation) that was not very compatible with macs. So i did my research and found out that the best hard drives were Western Digital and Seagate. I bought the newest western digital EDD 1TB and formated it to FAT32 and guess what...no problems so far. The only problem is that FAT32 format doesn't copy files larger than about 4 gigs so i couldnt copy a movie from my brothers computer onto my EDD that was 1080p. You could probably resolve that by partitioning a small part of your hard drive in ExFAT? but yeah, hopefully that helped guys.

Can anyone help? No incoming emails are appearing in my Inbox, but they turn up in the Gmail All Mail box.
Even if I delete an email it pops up again here. This is happening on both my ipad and iphone4s and is gradually driving me mad.
Any help would be much appreciated.

All I had to do was complain. I synced my iPhone to the Windows machine, checked the other account at iTunes prompting (where no apps had shown up previously), reconnected the iPad, and 140 apps downloaded including the App Store. I have no idea why.

Help, copied address in mail are reversed.
