Cannot send some emails from the address book. Comcast says it is not a server problem.

Keep getting this message when trying to send a group email from the address book -"The size of the message you are trying to send exceeds a temporary size limit of the server. The message was not sent, try to reduce the message size or wait some time and try again. The server responded: 4.1.1... temporary failure."
Comcast has checked it - the issue is not the server they say. This problem just started 4 days ago. It appears other people have this problem on the thunderbird forum and it has not been resolved yet.

The Comcast server is issuing the error message. Have them explain how this is not their problem.

How do you bcc groups from the address book in MAC OS X?

I am tryign to do a group email from the address book in MAC OS X, everytime I highlight and drag the contacts to my email they don't attached. The only way it appears to work is when I email group but this goes into the TO field.
Any ideas in what I can do?

Mea culpa. Yes, the Cc/Bcc disclosure button IS to the left. I mis-typed that. (stupid keyboard!)
I'm at a loss as to why this is not working for you.
I will tell you the versions of the players involoved that I am using are:
• OS X 10.8.1
• Mail 6.0
• Contacts (Address Book) 7.0
And while I realize that you are running OS X 10.7.4, the process has been similar for some time now.
I would run Software Update and make sure that my System, Mail and Address Book apps are all up to date. That is NOT to say you should upgrade to Mt. Lion, just ensure that there are no outstanding updates available for your current setup.
Then run Disk Utility and perform the Repair Permissions routine on your startup disk. When that process is finished, reboot your machine and run the Mail app again.
It would be nice if it's just a permissions issue or can be fixed with a software update. Let us know if any of this helps.

How do I delete contacts from the address book?

Purchased a new MacBook Pro and iphone4 yesterday. The phone has several hundred contacts that I no longer need. How do I deleted the contacts that I don't need anylonger from the address book on my MacBook? There are still several hundred that I need to keep. I don't see an easy way to delete them on the computor. I can't imagine that I'd have to go through one by one on my iphone.........seriously?

On the MBpro, click on the card to delete or mark several in a row by holding Shift down/up arrow. Then hit the delete key on the keyboard.

Using the address book as an LDAP DB

Hi,
I was wondering if there was a project that enables the address book application to act as an LDAP server? or an LDAP server that can easily be configured in order to use the mac address book as its database.
This way it could be used by any mail client (other than mail).

You might want to take a look at Addressbook X LDAP (or it's free companion Addressbook 4 LDAP) available at http://www.j2anywhere.com. ABxLDAP allows the transparent sharing of contacts by transfering them to a shared LDAP directory. It has support for multiple schema and can also be extended.

hi
if you will check the code of SendEmail_Client(EmailProperties properties), you will find that it may only send emails to internal users. May be it was made intentionally in order to prevent spamming from client code. So let's see:
internal static void SendEmail_Client(EmailProperties properties)
if (properties.To.Count == 0)
throw new SPException(SPResource.GetString(web.LanguageCulture, "SendEmailInvalidRecipients", new object[0]));
AddressReader func = null;
using (MailMessage mm = new MailMessage())
func = delegate (MailAddress a) {
mm.To.Add(a);
ResolveAddressesForEmail(web, properties.To, func);
new SmtpClient(SPAdministrationWebApplication.Local.OutboundMailServiceInstance.Server.Address).Send(mm);
I.e. it adds recipient in ResolveAddressesForEmail() method. Now let's check this method:
private static void ResolveAddressesForEmail(SPWeb web, IEnumerable<string> addresses, AddressReader func)
if (addresses != null)
foreach (string str in addresses)
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(str))
continue;
SPPrincipalInfo info = ResolvePrincipal(web, str, SPPrincipalType.All, SPPrincipalSource.All, null, false);
if ((info != null) && (info.PrincipalId > 0))
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(info.Email))
try
func(new MailAddress(info.Email, (info.DisplayName != null) ? info.DisplayName : "", Encoding.UTF8));
catch (FormatException)
continue;
if ((string.IsNullOrEmpty(info.Email) && info.IsSharePointGroup) && web.DoesUserHavePermissions(SPBasePermissions.BrowseUserInfo))
SPGroup byNameNoThrow = web.SiteGroups.GetByNameNoThrow(info.LoginName);
if (byNameNoThrow == null)
continue;
foreach (SPUser user in byNameNoThrow.Users)
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(user.Email))
try
func(new MailAddress(user.Email, (user.Name != null) ? user.Name : "", Encoding.UTF8));
continue;
catch (FormatException)
continue;
continue;
I.e. at first it tries to resolve user using ResolvePrincipal() method. If it is not resolved (info == null) email is not sent. But if it is - it first checks that email is not empty. If it is not - it adds email to the MailMessage.To recipients list. If
it is empty it checks whether the principal info represents Sharepoint group. If yes - it will send email to each member of the group.
So it may be so that you try to send email to external user (which is not supported according to the code above), or resolved principal doesn't have email specified.

How do I use the address book feature which allows you to connect your contacts to their social networking profiles? (in Lion)

When I look up the 250+ new features of Mac OSX Lion, under address book, there's a new feature that interests me.
"Address Book lets you quickly access the social network profiles for your contacts, including Facebook. Press and hold an email address to select the appropriate profile."
Somehow I can't get it to work. What do I do?

Make sure it's on the Template (see the entry for Twitter):
Then update the contact with the relevant info.
For Twitter you can then click and hold the Twitter tag to either View Profile or Send Tweet.

How to delete multiple desktop in the address book option?

I am trying to synchronise the adress book to a blackberry.
Here`s the setting,
BES version 4.0.3.5
blackberry 8330
e-mail platform: Lotus Notes on Domino servers
The adress book is the names.nsf file from the computer that is copied to a server.
In the BES console when I double click on the profile of the client to get the properties, I go into the "PIM Sync" and I add the server location in the proper field and the Relative path location in the proper field also.
Client called me this morning telling me that his contacts doesn`t synchronised with his Lotus Notes. After investigating, I see that in the option of the Adress book, if I go in the Desktop, "wireless synchronisation" is "not available".
1st: I removed the info in the profile and apply the changes (from the BES console) wait a minute or 2 then add back the relative path location and the server location.
- after a minute or 2, the client tells me that he sees the "wireless synchronisation" at Yes. but then he says it still not synchronise because he doesn`t see the changes he made that morning.
2nd: I do a soft reset (alt+caps+del)
- now we noticed that there is 2 "desktop" in the options of the adress book
3rd: went into the Options - Advanced Options - service books - and deleted Desktop ALP and Desktop SYNC - did a soft reset again
At one point, I had again only 1 Desktop but for some reason it "doubled" in entries and when I looked in the adress book ,there is a bunch of double entries.
4th: did an enterprise activation on the blackberry (without doing a hard reset to wipe the data) when it completed, I still had 2 desktop, 1 with 530 entries (the good one) was at "wireless synchronisation" at yes, the 2nd desktop (1029 entries) has "wireless synchronisation unavaliable.
When we enter the adress book all entries are now in triple, if I select "select adress book" and I select the 1st one, then all entries are fine. Is there a way to remove the 2nd desktop without interfering with the synchronisation of the first desktop whichi is the good adress book?
sorry for the long explanation and thanks for the help.

I am having a similar problem with an 8900 Curve. Unfortunately, the contacts are all in the BlackBerry, and I can't sync them back to the Lotus Notes address Book, it's the incorrect address book that is trying to sync to Lotus Notes.
I'm afraid if I delete the service books, I'll lose the contacts for good.
Has anyone solved this issue yet?

IPhone email, Mail and Address Book (and MobileMe)

Hi All.
Can someone please explain to me how Mail is able to use the Address Book contacts - if in fact it does use the Address Book contacts - on my laptop and my desktop?
I am currently on Thunderbird but have other software that I am told syncs to Address Book. This would make my life easier. I am thinking about converting to Mail instead of Thunderbird (to cut out one step in the "food chain" but I want to be sure I am making the right move and understand what I am doing.
Also, can anyone explain to me what my iPhone email is accessing when it tries to do an autocomplete?
Do the "Contacts" on my iPhone sync up to Address Book in any way via MobileMe??
Thanks for help on any of that...
Jon

Hi Daiya.
I can't tell you how much help this is.
Yes, iPhone Contacts sync to Address Book, via either iTunes sync or MobileMe.
This is sort of funny isn't it? That they are called Contacts on the iPhone and Address Book on MobileMe and on my laptop?
I believe the iPhone autocomplete checks both your Contacts AND any recently used addresses--there's no built-in method to clear the recently used addresses, as far as I know.
This is true for both MobileMe mail, GMail and for my website based email ([email protected]), yes?
You might also check out Postbox--from what I understand, it's built on Thunderbird, but it says it talks to the Mac Address Book and other parts of OS X.
Thanks!
Integration with OS X features does seem to be Thunderbird's weak spot--I actually use MS Entourage, which has reasonable integration, much better than Thunderbird. I'd say it's not so much that you need to cut out a step in the food chain as that Thunderbird just doesn't participate in the OS X food chain.
Hi. Thanks. I'm planning on getting CardScan (where I handle Business Cards) synced up with Address Book. I can do this and it would be really simple I am told.
The question is now where do I go from there.
I have not read up on PostBox yet but I am starting to think that I need to perfect my Address Book in Thunderbird and export it to Address Book. Then I can start handling email in Mail.
If I do this, my thought is that my business cards will be synced with Address Book, Address Book will be synced with Mail (on my laptop and my desktop) and Address Book will be synced with my iPhone Contacts (where I compose email).
How does that sound??!!
Long time goal over here...

How to send 1 email to all addresses in Mails memory......

without using the address book.
Ya' know how "Mail" keeps all of your sent-to addresses, noticable when you start to type in an address and it finishes it.......
I need to send one "change of contacts" email to everyone who has sent and received an email from me. Any easy way to go about it?
Thanks Much!
Chris

Following on with Austin's reply, if you don't want to permanently add all those folks in Mail's Previous Recipients list to your Address Book, open up your home folder's Library folder's Application Support folder and copy your AddressBook folder to your Desktop. Then in Mail's Previous recipients window, when you select all entries and add them to your address book, and then in Mail, new message, address book, select all and drag everybody from the list into your To: (or maybe better, BCC:) field, and send your email.
Then throw away the newly modified AddressBook folder (in your home folder's Library folder's Application Support folder) and drag the wanted AddressBook folder now on your Desktop back into it's rightful place (into your home folder's Library folder's Application Support folder).

Couldn't Open the Address Book Database - Database is Corrupted

I get this error message anytime I attempt to modify a record in the address book. I also get this error when attempting to create a new group. I've attempted to restore the Address Book from backups via Time Machine as far 6 months ago.
I also did some poking around on the web and found an article advising to delete .plist files associated with the Address Book from my user > Library > Preferences Directory.
I did this but it continues to give this error.
I really need to update the Address Book or even export what I have and start fresh from reimporting my contacts. I don't know how to do this.
Any help is much appreciated.

I followed the advice of Golden Shoes and everything appeared to work. I found out that I had spoken too soon. The next time I opened the Address Book none of the contacts were there. So, I've been doing an import when I need contact information. I import the vcard of all of the contacts I had exported. But, if I click on the File menu to Save them the Save option is greyed out and not available.
I thought that I might need a reinstall and my intention on getting Snow Leopard meant that I would wait until I upgraded to perform that install.
I just upgraded to Snow Leopard and the same problem exists but now it seems to have spread.
Now, if I take the empty address book and add a contact then save the Address Book (The save option is now availalbe). Then close the Address Book, Quite the Address Book and then launch it again, the contact record I added is not there.
Any help that can be provided would be much appreciated. I really want to use the Address Book to manage my contacts.
Thanks in Advance

Will the Address Book be improved in Leopard?

Hello,
I am intensively using the Address Book in Tiger to store all the contact information for my small business, and am starting to find its limitations.
I would like to know which improvements are expected for the next version in Leopard. Depending on the answer I may have to consider moving to a more "professional" software like Entourage or Act, but I would strongly prefer not to!
In particular, I would need to organize the Groups into folders or hierachies of groups. I already have more than 20 groups and it's not user friendly to browse them.
I am also using Smart Groups that search into the Notes of each contact for flags like "TO CALL" or "TO MAIL". I hope there will be an integration with iCal.
Thanks a lot,
Felipe
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8) Address Book 4.0.4

address book should make it easier to input different names and
titles within the same company. now i find i have to retype the
address lines each time i enter different people in the same company.
Agreed but to make this process a little easier, after entering the first contact with a particular company, to add additional contacts with the same company and address, copy/paste the first contact to duplicate it and Edit the duplicated contact to change the new contact's name and telephone number, etc. Prevents having to retype the company address at least.
