I have a problem sending e-mail to people in my Buddy List.

I keep information about people in my buddy list. I keep the information in the blank for their first name and last name goes. this way when I contact them or they contact me, I can roll over their name and all of the information is there for me to see who I am talking to.
Here is the porblem. If I send them an e-mail, all of that information appears in the "To" line of the e-mail. What can I do about this problem ?

 Then I believe you must leave the First and Last Name lines blank. I believe OS X Mail will insert whatever info is in those 2 lines, even if they are blank, into the "To" line of your outgoing e-mail.
If you do not find an acceptable solution here, and if you do not want to use a different e-mailer app that does not use the info from OS X's Address Book, you might try posting your question in Mail & Address Book Discussions to see whether any of the users who post there might have better suggestions.

  • I have a problem sending mail via smtp. I use a satellite system and the average return time for a ping is 675ms. Is this a problem with mail? If so can I change Mail to accept it. The problem also exists with Lion

    I have a problem sending mail via smtp. I use a satellite system and the average return time for a ping is 675ms. Is this a problem with mail? If so can I change Mail to accept it. The problem also exists with Lion and on both my MacPro and my wife's Imac. I also see my mailboxes randomly disconnecting and reconnecting. Any other ideas of a possible cause?

    I solved it myself, after the "note" which came back from FF/Mozilla just as I finished my message, commenting on what it was that my system had , I wnnt back to check my plug-ins etc. I downloaded the latest Java, BOTH 32bit AND 64 bit versions and latest Firefox.
    Now all is working.
    Thanks,

    I don't think that a software update from Apple will solve the issues that you are having. You have a rogue installation. After you posted I have just done the following:
    Disk Utility can verify  my partitioned Volume (including my boot disk) AND REPAIR the non-boot disks on the same Volume without a glitch. It repairs the non-boot disks containing data smoothly.
    I have used Mail to send some mails from some Yahoo and Hotmail accounts to my Thunderbird client containing GMail accounts - absolutely normal.
    I have iLife '09 but my iMovie '09 and iPhoto '09 open in a jiffy and I see no issues here. I have 6GB RAM (Maximum) on an early 2008 Macbook Pro with a 750GB hard drive partitioned with 120GB reserved for the Boot Drive.
    I am sorry that I cannot help further but I am sure there must be a way to reinstall the software without having to revert to restoring your ML backup. I have two clones and if you have such I would attempt to do that through that rather than through Time Machine - that is of course if you have a cloned drive.
    Good luck!

  • Is anyone else having a problem sending a mail message with PDF attached?

    Is anyone else having a problem sending a mail message with PDF attached? I receive the following message:
    Sending the message content to the server failed.
    Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below or click Try Later to leave the message in your Outbox until it can be sent.
    Is there a fix for this?

    Anyone?  I was hoping my problem would just 'fix itself'...  but I still have some clients telling me they're not receiving any email from me.  I've since deleted that account on my computers and re-added it.  But still having the same issue. 

  • Problems sending e-mail to SMTP

    I have been having problems using mail from a secondary account that I set up for my son's macbook. I have no problems sending / receiving e-mail from the main (ADMIN) account. However, when I try to use the same settings in my son's account, I can only receive e-mails. Outgoing e-mail just sits in the outbox and never gets sent. The inbound e-mail server is POP3 and the outbound is SMTP (port 25 is blocked by the ISP). As I said it works fine for the main OS account but not when the same settings are used to set up the e-mail on the secondary OS account. Any advice would be most appreciated.

    Hope you can read dutch?
    This is an article from the dutch support site. It describes the cause of your problem. Be sure you us one network at the time.

  • Problems sending/eceiving mail

    The last month or so I've been having problems sending/receiving mail thru the Apple mail app. the error message is something like, error sending mail, try with another client? Comcast is my mail server, but I also have my Google account accessible thru mail, so I use that to send. I can definitely work around this, but am wondering what I might do to fix it?

    I have the identical issue with comcast and mail (...) it's really not their issue - I'm sure it's the mail app
    Really? What makes you so sure? I've had no problems connecting to any mail servers (within allowed use limits imposed by the server, like not sending from outside their network) using Mail, and I've used it over the years with Earthlink, Adelphia, RoadRunner, GMail, pair.com and Mac.com (those are the ones I remember). If multiple people are having problems with Comcast+Mail, chances are better that Comcast is doing something a little on the edge of dodgy than that Mail is doing something wrong that only shows up with Comcast servers.

  • I have a problem with MAC Mail and Mediacom

    I have a problem using mac mail with Mediacom. I can recieve messages, but i cannot send messages. Of course the support people at Mediacom can't seem to help me. i have searched threads here and tried some of the things but have had no luck. Please help.

    I had the same problem with a relatives macbook on mediacom broadband just today,
    Something gets corrupted if you enter the server wrong on the first try and even editing to correct it won't fix it. You must delete the server and add a new one.
    To fix it go to mail preferences and click account at the top of the prefs window. At the bottom of the account pane click the outgoing server list and select edit server list. Select your server and hit the - symbol on the left below the list. I then close the prefs, save changes and quit mail. Re-launch Mail and open prefs, select account again and edit outgoing server, click the + at the bottom of the list and add a server, double click the server where it says double click here and type mail.mchsi.com in the box. close the prefs and save changes and you should now be able to send.

  • TS3899 My iphone has had problems sending e-mail via my 1&1 e-mail account

    My iphone has had problems sending e-mail via my 1&1 e-mail account for the last two days.  I get a 'recipient rejected by the server' message.  I have not changed any settings.  If I change the from address to i-cloud the e-mails go.  Advice please.

    i think you need to contact your email provider - that sounds like an issue on their end and nothing to do with your phone.

  • Problem Sending Verizon Mail Using Mail Program

    I have not had a problem sending Verizon mail from my Mail program prior to Mavericks.  Now it is giving me fits. I do not have any troubke receiving mail. 
    This is what I get when I try and send mail through my Verizon account.  Do I just check Always Trust and then Connect.  There have been no Certificate issues prior to Maverick.  What is going on?   I did not get anything like this yesterday before I upgraded to Mavericks.

    This is what I get when I try and send an e-mail using my Verizon account in mail.

  • I am about to throw my new Mac Book Pro 15inch out the window!! Does anyone else have a problem scrolling e-mails!?? I cannot find the scroll bar that disapears with out continually pulling at the bottom right corner to reveal it and then it disappears!!?

    Does any one else have a problem scrolling e-mails ??( I use Yahoo with Firefox) I continually have to tug the corner to reveal scroll bar that dissapears!?
    Also using arrows to scroll website doesn't always work either? Is this because I've bought a 15inch instead of my old trusty 20inch which didn't have this problem?

    Which model MacBook Pro do you have (e.g., "15-inch mid 2012") and which version of OS X are you running? If Mavericks you can go under System Preferences>General and tick the "Show Scroll Bars: Always."
    Call back,

  • Anyone have a problem sending text messages being delivered after few minutes up to five minutes?

    Has anyone have a problem sending text messages and the messages won't get delivered after few minutes? From time to time I would have this problem and it's annoying.  I would expect someone to receive it by then and response to my text right away.  But when I look up the text it hasn't been delivered and it's in the process.  I would hear that the message get delivered after few minutes? What gives? I never had a problem with my iphone 4 i think? Now with iOS 5 it let's me know whether it is delivered or not.  This new feature is awesome but disappointing when I know my text hasn't been delivered right away.  I'm not sure if it's the software or my iphone 4s or my carrier? anyone suggestions?  Thanks!!

    I have the same problem when sending iMessages.. Wasnt sure if it was apple or Sprint? But it happens VERY often and I end up having to send it as a text message instead

  • Having problem sending e-mails.  There's a message on the screen saying that "the sender address was rejected by a server.

    I'm having problem sending e-mails.  There's a message on the screen after I press send saying that "The sender adress was rejected by a server.

    Check the outgoing mail server setting. Make sure that your username and password are in there.
    Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.
