Hide mailto or email address from spammers

Hi if you want to hide your email address from spiders/harvesters etc, you can actually edit the the HTML part of the page with your email address on. First make a link click here or an image of the email address. Check the example on my website made all on iWeb.
see http://www.concretecreative.co.nz/contact.html
I edited the 'contact.html' with 'Taco' and cut and paste my hidden email address from 'Spamstopper' both of these app's are freeware from most ie Versiontracker.com etc.
I hope this helps everyone.

That is a false sense of security. My script can get your email in less than a second, this is what you are hiding behind:
mailto: & #105; & #110; & #102; & #111; & #64; & #99; & #111; & #110; & #99; & #114; & #101; & #116; & #101; & #99; & #114; & #101; & #97; & #116; & #105; & #118; & #101; & #46; & #99; & #111; & #46; & #110; & #122;?subject=website
#105 = i
#110 = n
#102 = f
#111 = o
&#nnn = where nnn is ascii code. So forget about hiding it, the best way of hiding it is NOT to post/publish it.
There are four other links in that page:

This is merely by copy+paste the text: 'http : //www.concretecreative.co.nz/contact.html'

Call for email address from database?

Hi
I'm pretty new to asp pages.
I've got hundreds of customer contact forms that I would like
to create as
.asp pages, so that when the form is sent it calls for the
email addresses
to send it to from a database.
This is an attempt to hide the customers email address from
showing on the
website.
Can anyone please point me in the direction of a newbie
tutorial?
Many thanks
Craig.

How can I copy an email address from the form results while online?

Our form contains a field where the users submitted their email address. But I am not able to mouse over this data in the "View Responses" tab, and copy the email address by selecting the email address and Ctrl C, and neither can I right-click this data field and copy it.
Our organization just switched to Microsoft Office 365, and "mailto" links on web pages can no longer be clicked to launch a native desktop email client program. So the users tasked with responding to forms submitted via Formscentral now have a much harder workflow. They are compelled to download the data as a spreadsheet, just to be able to cut and paste an email address into their reply email.
I suggest and request that the Flash-based "View Responses" tab be modified to allow email addresses to be selectable and able to be copied to the "clip board". This would allow users who can't execute a clickable mailto link to copy and paste the email address from Formscentral into a new email. Many organizations like mine are moving away from native client-based email programs like Outlook to save money, in favor of cloud based SAS web-based email like Office 365.
Is there some other way to enable mailto links where no client email program is installed on the users PC?
Thanks,
-Dave Bartholomew

While I am still looking for a better answer, I've discovered a way to cut and paste email addresses from the FormsCentral "View Responses" dashboard. I wrote up the instructions to help our users and thought I'd share them in this forum as well.
But it would be nice if there was a simpler solution... Can anyone offer a better way?

) Right-click on the email address
) Select “Filter by: …” Doing this will change the view to show only entries that were sent from the selected email address.
) And it will display the Filter in the header of the form.
) Left-click on the email address displayed in the filtered results, in the header of the form.
) A new sub-form will appear, and the email address can be cut and pasted from this new sub-form. Highlight the email address and hit “Ctrl C”, or right-click and select copy.
) Now you can paste the email address into a new email in Office 365. (Ctrl V) or right-click and select “Paste”
) Click the “Clear” button and then “OK” to exit the filtered view of the data.

How can I remove my email address from the lock screen?

How do I remove my email address from the lock screen? My dad bought me a new laptop after mine was stolen from my house on New Year's Eve. I'm a little tighter on my security now and when I turn on my laptop the lock screen shows me my name and my email
address. If my laptop gets stolen again, I don't want my email address to be displayed for someone to use or sell as I'm extremely picky about what I'm giving out my email for. If there isn't a way to hide my email address, I'm going to demand a "downgrade"
from this Windows 8 s**t and back to the more user-friendly and less confusing Windows 7. (And for the record, I hate Windows 8. With a passion.)

Extract email address from html

Hi,
I am trying to extract "email address" from an html output query. How would I do that?
I am on CF9.
example:
Query col1:
<html><head></head><body>today they emailed about it from (mailto:[email protected]) ...hello there and here</body></html>

Argh! No!
God I hate it when people knock together a regex like this and go "Look! Email address validation!"
Before one starts down this road, one should read the RFC (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5322, summarised here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email_address).
Your own regex fails my spamtrap email address (for example: [email protected]), because you've forgotten that a + is a legitimate character in the local part of an email address. Along with a bunch of other completely legit characters.
Reading on through the RFC you will realise than ANYTHING is valid in the local part of an email address, provided it's quoted (double-quote being another character your regex doesn't accept).
If someone doesn't want to give you their valid email address, they won't. I can give you [email protected], and that will pass. If I do want to give you my address, you should make sure your code will actually accept it!
I can understand wanting to make sure the punter doesn't key their email address in incorrectly, but your method doesn't help here. It'd pass [email protected], despite the fact that it should be [email protected] "Close" is not good enough in these cases.
The only sensible way of doing this is to ask them to type it in twice. This will assist people who don't just roll their eyes and copy and paste what they typed in the first box into the second box, wondering why you're wasting their time. So a typo will be transferred, so it's no help.
If you really want to get a person's email address, deprive them of something until they respond to an email that you end them. At the email address they specified. Because they actually don't mind you having their email address. This only works if you're not simply trying to harvest email addresses for your own benefit, and not the benefit of your subscribers.
Bottom line: email address is a mug's game, and one not often played by people who know the rules.

Adobe sharing your email address with spammers

On 16th Jan 2009 I downloaded Adobe Flash player. To do this
I was required to provide an email address. As I can't stand spam,
I bought my own domain, and never provide the same email address
twice. Different person or company, different email address
provided. Yes, it's a bit more work, but you do get to find out who
is spamming, and who is selling your email address to spammers.
Okay, so today 26th March 2009, I get an email with following
contents:
and one night she captured my soul
kuavnaibezi.com
***** couple,how spend moments together....
The email was supposedly from "Chadwick Witten", with "from"
address of "[email protected]". The site being promoted sells
viagra etc.
The email address that this spam was sent to was provided on
the adobe flash download site in a form, and nowhere else.
I expect that the above spam will also be sent to most of the
people in this forum. Now you know why it got to you.

Hate to break it to you, but that does not specifically
implicate Adobe in the leaking of that email address.
It means 1 of 2 things:
1. As you say, Adobe shares
OR
2. That form has been compromised by a hacker.
BUT
I never gave Adobe my email address to download the
flashPlayer - are you sure you were on the Adobe site and not a
mocked one?
|| EDIT ||
Just confirmed my suspiction myself. Went to
http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer
(the official page) and all that I was presented with to get the
download was a button. Click the button, the install happens - no
email to input.

Email address from address book on E72 and removin...

Hi,
I like my E72 but I have two problems that really annoy me.
1. In the past when ever I would write a new email I would get list of suggested email addresses in the "To" field. For example, if I would was to write the letter S I would get the email address of the people in my address book whose name starts with an S (sam, Sofia etc).
for some reason this feature stopped working on my phone and I can't find how to make it work again. if I want to send an email I need to manually write the email address in the "To" field.
The auto suggestion feature works perfectly on my wife's phone (an E72 with the same firmware – 22.007) but on my phone it won't suggest email addresses from my contacts.
2. Another problem is that my Gmail that is synced to the phone, through the Nokia Messenger server is locked on "hide emails older than 2 weeks". Now, I have hundreds of emails stored on my phone that dates to February 1st – the day I got the Phone!
Is there a way to delete these emails automatically, without deleting them on the Gmail account itself? It makes my phone really when going through the emails.
Thanks in advance,
External

Hullo all...
I've fixed the problem with my email service on E72. The thing is, there's something wrong with the Nokia Messaging service. So I turned the service off. But you must remove the inbox properly, that is from the web site email/nokia.com, and manage your inbox from there and not from your cell phone.
Remove it, and make a new settings on your E72 for your preferable mailbox. When they asked you about to accept or decline the Nokia Messaging service, declined it, and set your mailbox without using Nokia Messaging. Yes the e-mail doesn't instantly sent to your inbox, but you can set the timing to always enabled synchronization, and set it to every 5 minutes. It will delivered flawlessly to your E72, and you'll get a full control for your inbox and everything without being 'locked' by nokia messaging. You can decide how much email you'd like exactly in your inbox, sent, etc. You can decide the period and everything. The device are fully functional and do very well job in maintaining email, but not Nokia Messaging. (Nokia Messaging Team, please take a serious action.)
This step will also fix your problem on email address from address book on E72. I don't really know what the connection between them, but it seems that it needs to connect to the internet to make this feature enabled. (it's kind of strange since the email in the address book is in the phone memory, not in the 'cloud' server). It sometimes happen if you don't have the internet connection, but once you had it, the problem solved.
I hope this will fix your problem. Let me know

In Mail, how do I make it so that email replies to me are sent to the email address from which I sent my original message?

I have two IMAP accounts set up in Mail, one work and one personal. The personal account also receives emails from a third account (but I have that set up through gmail's forwarding, not Mail). I am sending emails from my work account and replies are coming to this third account, which I don't want to happen.
How do I make it so that replies to me are sent to the email address from which I sent my original message?
Thanks for your help!

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Transferring email addresses from one account to another

I'm not sure if this is a good place to post this but after spending a good bit of time on the phone with FiOS customer service and technical support I just feel like venting my frustrations and hope that maybe someone could give me a valid explanation of why this cannot be done.
To give a brief (hopefully) summary of what's going on...
My wife and I are currently in the process of moving from Florida to Maryland because of the current job market and economy situation. As always...the moving process has been a "blast". For at least a few months we will be "between" homes and will be staying with friends. Because of this we had to cancel our FiOS service (which I did last week and it will be shutting off sometime today). Since we've been very please with the actual service FiOS provides we have (or maybe I should say "had") every intention of signing back up with Verizon once we're in a new home in the Maryland area.
So here's where the trouble comes into play...I contacted Verizon to see if it would be possible to somehow transfer our existing Verizon.net email addresses from our account to my friend's account (the person I'm staying with). You would've thought I was asking for a year's worth fo free service. Initially I was told by customer service that this can't be done. They explained that an email address is like a phone number and two separate accounts cannot have the same email address. Thanks for the newsflash! I explained again that what I wanted to do was move my email addresses so they would now be associated with my friends account. This didn't seem like such a horrible request considering my friend pays for FiOS service and with that gets 9 available email addresses....and was only using 2 of them. She ultimately just told me it was something that couldn't be done. But she did inform me of the "Verizon Your Domain" service that would allow current FiOS subscribers to associate their Verizon.net email account with a new domain name that you create. It would cost $20 per year and would allow you to keep your Verizon.net email if you canceled FiOS service. This sounded like an ok option.
But still -- I was curious why I couldn't transfer email addresses. So I then contacted technical support. This time it was explained to me that an email address was like a social security #. It couldn't just be given to another person. Great analogies in use at Verizon....I give them that. I told the guy I was a fellow "techie" and asked him for a more detailed explanation. That's when it got good. That's what killed me. He spent all this time talking about ACL's and routing and how email addresses couldn't be moved because "you're talking about 2 million addresses". Long and short he was trying to say the Verizon email system was just too complex. Finally I told him that it had to be something that could be done....and his exact words were "well sure it can be done...but we're not going to do it if you're not paying for a service". Wow! Great response! I've been a paying customer of FiOS for about two years. I've had some form of service with Verizon for about 15 years (from phone service to mobile service with V-Wireless). I fully understand that I'm no longer paying for FiOS service. But my friend is. And he has 7 email accounts he's not using. So why couldn't they be moved? Because the system is too complex? Give me a break. Like this guy finally admitted...it boils down to money.
Finally I gave up. I told my wife that we'd just have to deal with switching to a new email address. Life will move on. She wanted to try the "Verizon Your Domain" option though. She started doing the process online...had some questions....and decided to call customer service. She got transferred around to three different people...the last of which told her "you need to call a different department" and then CLICK.
Great, great job Verizon. All I ask is if someone could give me some sort of response that makes sense. If you just don't want to offer the transfer option then tell me.
I expect to be in a new home within a month or two. And suddenly Comcast is looking very good.

Well, CS was right when they said that Verizon cannot transfer your email to another account. In order to do that they would have to overwrite the email of your friend ( I dont think your friend would apreciate that ). This is due to a limitation on the email system.
However, you may have another option. If you are going to be getting Verizon service again in the realitivly near future (4-8 weeks or so), Then after your acount is closed, contact tech support. If you get the right agent they will "enable" your email. That way you can continue to use it even though you dont have service any more. Now they cant do this for long but for temporary it can be done. Then once you get your service back, they can then move your existing email to your new account. (this can now be done as they will overwrite your new email with your old).
Now if your going to be without Verizon service for more than a couple months, you may be out of luck but this is one option
umm, oh bhoy!
In fact, a "repoint" of an email address CAN be completed onto another account AND it does not overwrite anything on the receiving account.    Each acount, whether its a FiOS account or a copper account, has an account number. The email address is assigned to the account number.    The email address can be "repointed" from one account to another, as an 'add-on' to the new account, then it can be 'repointed' back to another account later.    HOWEVER, the contract does say that you must have a valid account. AND, Verizon cannot (no company can) allow you to manipulate someone else's account.
as to the "after your acount is closed, contact tech support. If you get the right agent they will "enable" your email", well, the fact is that the account has to be provisioned to an address. So, though I have come accross accounts that seemed to still be "on" after the listed close date, it was not something that verizon's tier 1 tech support can effect (that's who you get on the phone when you call tech support) (note that 'sales' could not do this for you, either)   So good luck with that.
What happens is that Verizon will not allow anyone to take your email addresses for at least 6 months.
Before you cancelled you may have had an option to have a notice auto-replied to any email that gets sent to your email address, for a limited amount of time, like they can do with a telephone number ("this number has been changed to . . . . . ") that "this email address is temporarily suspended, or something. . . . I said MAY have had the opportunity. .. .   but if it was me, I would get to where you are going and make sure they have Verizon internet account already   and have them call verizon tech support (so they can verify their account info) with you standing there so that you can verify your old account info and immediately and plainly ask if you can have an email "repoint" done for you.

HT204053 how do i change my icloud email address from the one i already have input?

how do i change my icloud email address from the one i already have input?

Hi sparkie,
You cannot change your iCloud email address. It is an @me.com address, and is associated specifically with that iCloud account. If you want a different @me address assigned, you have to delete the current iCloud account and set up a new one.
Here is a link with all the support information for iCloud:

Hope this helps!
