I want to copy only the email address from Mail, not the name and email

When I get an email I want to be able to copy ONLY the email address and NOT the name.
Before I would click on an email, click on the email address and paste the email address to a list.
Now I do that and I get the name AND the email address, which makes me edit out the name every time. UGH.
Mavericks 10.9.5

did not make a difference. If I copy from the email (that has a name & email) and paste to text file (Bbedit) the name and email still show. I do not want the name, just the email.

  • Have searched Forums for quite some time now. Cannot find a correct answer to: how do I prevent my old email address from appearing as the "from:" address

    Have searched Forums for quite some time now. Cannot find a correct answer to: how do I prevent my old email address from appearing as the "from:" address when I use a "send this" link on a webpage/news article. The email window opens and automatically inserts my old Hotmail address instead of the Yahoo address I've used for a long time. (The drop-down won't let me change it or delete it.) Thanks.

    Do you get a drop down list with suggestions if you clear that "from" field and click elsewhere on that page to move the focus off that field and then double-click again in that field or start typing the first letters of that unwanted email address?
    Use these steps to remove saved (form) data from a drop down list:
    #Click the (empty) input field on the web page to open the drop down list
    #Highlight an entry in the drop down list
    #Press the Delete key (on Mac: Shift+Delete) to remove it.

  • How do I set Mail to display Name AND email address in the message

    I thought I used to have this setting and now I cannot find it (if there is one)
    Can't I set mail to show Name and email address in the address box both when creating a message and viewing one?
    thanks,

    Thanks, Ernie
    I wasted about 20 minutes looking for it and couldn't find it

  • Export email addresses from Mail?

    Is there any way to export email addresses from Mail into a CSV file? I know I can push it to Address Book then export but that mixes all the exports in with my existing addresses.

    If you know SQL, you could export out of the previous recipients database file inside your user/Library/Application Support/AddressBook folder. It's a sqlite3 database.

  • I want to copy the name with email address from Mail like I could before Mavericks

    Hi There
    I have resisted upgrading to Mavericks for all this time because Mavericks now stops the name of the contact being copied when I copy the email address from the sender. What is now copied is: '[email protected]'
    What I want and what it used to be before Mavericks is: 'Dave Garnish <[email protected]>'
    I know it sounds petty but it has stopped me upgrading for all this time, but now I need 4k monitor support.
    Thanks in advance anyone who may have the answer to this.
    Best
    Dave

    The following Terminal command used to enable the use of the name along with the email address:
    defaults write com.apple.mail AddressesIncludeNameOnPasteboard -bool YES
    (Change YES to NO to undo the change.)
    I don't know if it still works.
    You can also affect this feature in the mail message via Mail, Preferences, Use Smart Addresses.  When unchecked the sender's address gets the name and angle bracket thing.

  • Address Book imported all of my email addresses from Mail without warning

    My Address Book suddenly was full of new contacts, every single email I got in the past had it's sender copied to my address book without me importing anything. They were just there. A total mess. I now have to manually erase all the contacts I don't want
    How can I prevent this from happening again?

    I have no clue. Just opened Address Book today and there they were. stuff like [email protected], mails that I got only once, or five different email addresses from the same contact, each as a single contact file. I am no stranger to isync and address book, never experienced anything like that.

  • A work flow to extract email address from mail

    Can anyone help me. I have a bunch of emails that contain text information including an email address. I want a Automator workflow that will extract the email addresses from the emails and then save them as a comma separated text file.

    Hi,
    Try this workflow:
    1) Get Selected Mail Items
    2) Run AppleScript
    In the "Run AppleScript", paste the following in:
    on run {input, parameters}
    set the output to {}
    repeat with i from 1 to count of the input
    set theMessage to item i of the input
    set theContent to ""
    tell application "Mail"
    set theContent to the content of theMessage
    end tell
    if theContent is not equal to "" then
    set output to (output & theContent)
    end if
    end repeat
    return output
    end run
    3) Run Shell Script
    In "Run Shell Script", select "/usr/bin/perl" in the shell popup and "to stdin" in the pass input popup. Then paste the following in:
    $input = join("", );
    @emails = ($input =~ /\b[A-Z0-9._%-]@[A-Z0-9.-]\.[A-Z]{2,4}\b/ig);
    while( @emails > 1 ) {
    print shift(@emails) . ", ";
    print @emails[0];
    4) New TextEdit Document
    If you select the mail messages that have the email information in them, then you can run the workflow and hopefully it does the right thing.
    Hope it helps!

  • Can't delete email address from Mail

    I keep sending emails to the wrong address as when I start typing a name Mail seems to bring up a quite random address for the recipient if there are several.
    Not only does it not default to the last address received from/sent to but it will enter an old address that has been deleted from Address Book.
    I can still see the deleted address in Mail when I click on the address button [tho it is well deleted in Address Book] and the only option in Mail seems to be to delete the whole card.
    Any suggestions most welcome,
    Colin

    Colin,
    Have you checked Mail>Window>Previous Recipients for the old address? If not, attempt to "Remove From List" at that location and let us know what happens.

  • Extract email addresses from Mail?

    A friend uses Mail on OS X 10.2 (Jaguar). He doesn't use Address Book. Instead, when he starts to type an address in Mail, Mail offers to complete it, often with several choices. His archive contains thousands of email addresses. My question: Is there a way to transfer the email addresses in Mail to Address Book without having to do each one manually?
    Mail comes up with choices of email address so quickly that it is hard to believe it scans the whole archive to find them. Does it have a database of some sort that it refers to? And can this database (if one exists) be read as a plain text file?
    Thanks!

    With respect to: "However I did post reference to D-LinkDBT-120 adapter that will pair with my bluetooth cell phone 6103", D-Link says "MAC OS X v.10.4.3 or higher required." ( DBT 120 )I don't know, myself, of a way around that requirement. Good luck, though.

  • Why Can't I slide email addresses from MAIL to ADDRESS BOOK :-(

    Am I missing something?
    Why can't I slide all the email addresses from an email to a group in my Address Boob. I am shocked that this is not easily possible.
    Am I missing the easy way to do this?

    In addition to the suggestions, [Mails Scripts|http://homepage.mac.com/aamann/Mail_Scripts.html] has an applescript that will collect all the addresses in an email and give you the option to select a subset and save to a group or make a new group.

  • How do i erase a bad email address from mail?

    Hello,
    I once miss typed an email address in mail and it haunts me everyday. If I type the first three letters of the persons name, which is my habit, the bad address is attached to the mail. The result is that I get a server error when i try to send the mail. Then I have to save it as a draft in order to change the address to the correct one by typing fewer of more letters of the recipients first name. I would save myself allot of frustration if I knew where mail stores address shortcuts.
    Thanks very much

    Start by making a new message. Now type in the start of the mistake. When you see the mistake allow it to be put in the To: line. It should appear as a normal address with the little blue button around it. Now right click on the address and pick the choice *Remove From Previous Recipients List*. This should clear that mistake out. I just tried it and it worked for me.

  • Adding Email Addresses from Mail to Address Book

    I send out a lot of emails that I would like to save in my address book. Address Book automatically sorts the address by first name or last name. This makes it virtually impossible to locate daily or hourly all the emails that you saved to your Address Book. Especially when your Address Book has over 3,000 addresses. Is there anyway to save email addresses using Mail directly to a Group in the Address Book?
    Thank you.

    Welcome to the discussions, Big.
    If you select an address in an email message you can drag it and drop it onto a group in Address Book, making a new contact and adding it to the group in a single operation. You can't do this from Mail's Previous Recipients window, though you can use the PR window, ordered by date, to see who you sent email to three days ago - but not hourly.

  • Email problem when typing in email addresses using Mail on the iPhone 3G

    Hi,
    I have a problem whilst typing in email addresses into the Mail App To: field. Basically, what's happening is this.
    When I first got the phone, I was using a Hotmail account as well as a Googlemail account which I had going through the Mail App, my hotmail address was used for work so on occassions, I would email my Hotmail account from the Mail App on my phone.
    The problem I have is that I now have a new Hotmail account and when I start to type the address into the To: field in Mail App, it still shows my old Hotmail account address rather than the one I am now using. I only now send to the new Hotmail address so I thought that it would replace the old one when I start typing the address in the To: field.
    Has anyone else found this at all? It's rather annoying as everytime, I have to type the whole address even though I have sent many recently and never send to the old Hotmail address anymore but the old address comes up as soon as I start to type the new address.
    Can anyone please help me on this?
    Many Thanks,
    Adam

    Apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them.  You will always be asked for the password associated with this ID when updating apps, regardless of whether or not you are using this ID for current purchases.  The only way to stop this is to delete the old apps from your phone and iTunes and repurchase them with your current ID.
    Edit: to change the ID used for future purchases on your phone, go to Settings>Store>Apple ID, tap the ID shown, sign out, sign back in using the new ID.  As explained above, you will still be prompted with the old ID when updating apps purchase with the older ID.
