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.

  • Entering Names with Email Addresses

    Hi All.
    New user here.
    Would someone mind giving me some tips on entering names with email addresses into a list of magazines in Numbers?
    Is there a way to de-activate the clickable link for email addresses temporarily?
    Is there a way to enter these from an external document such as Pages in a single cell? Right now I do this and (the paragarph return?) causes them to scatter across a number of cells in a way I don't understand.
    Is there a way to have the addresses get listed with name and then the email address on one line and then the next name and address on the next line etc? Right now if I hit return it throws me down to the next cell.
    Finally, is there a way to get the column headings to show up near the column alphabet at the top when i am scrolled down to a point where I can't see the name for the column? Right now if I am scrolled down it is hard to know which column to put information into.
    Thanks for any help as I get it moving.
    Regards.

    Yes, in the Hyperlink Inspector.

    Double-click in the cell before pasting.

    Instead of hitting Return, hit Tab.

    In Sheet View mode, select "Freeze Header Rows" in the Header control on the Format Bar.
    Thanks for any help as I get it moving.
    You may still have to refer to the guide.

  • I accidentally have 2 apple id's and i want to put the already verified email address on the other apple id.  How do i do that?

    I accidentally have 2 apple id's and i want to put the already verified email address on the other apple id.  How do i do that?

    It's not currently possible to merge accounts, nor to transfer content from one account to another account - content will remain tied to the account that downloaded it. You should be able to log into the account and change its primary email address (to an address which is not currently on another account) : http://appleid.apple.com

  • Importing a group of names and email addresses from EXCEL to address book

    I want to create a new group in my address book, so I can send one email to multiple addresses. I have an EXCEL document that contains the names and email addresses. Is there an easy way to import them into my address book from EXCEL?
    Thanks, Teri

    Hi,
    I'm having the same problem. I'm trying to import 300 addresses from an Excel file into Address Book. The Excel file has been converted to tab-delimited (txt). I've gone through and deleted any extra line breaks within fields, commas, etc in the addresses.
    When I go to Address Book and ask it to import the Text file, I get the dialog window showing me the fields it will import, but when I click on "OK", the program just freezes. Also, it tells me in the dialog window that it won't import specific fields like Street 2, City, State or Zip and there is information in all of those fields for every record to import.
    I've been working on this for three weeks now and am at my wits end. I have never had a database program be so difficult to work with.
    Any ideas?

  • 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 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.

  • Names are associated with email address in Mail but not in Contacts. How do I fix this?

    When writing a new email if I begin typing someone's name, it automatically starts showing matching first and last names and email addresses. So if I start typing Bob it'll start showing matching contacts and have selected by default Bob Doe <[email protected]>.
    This is great in Mail but in Contacts it doesn't work.
    If I start searching for Bob, there are no results. Instead the only result there is the email address. So I have to know my contacts email addresses instead of their names when I'm dealing with Contacts.
    Is there a way to sync Mail and Contacts or something so Contacts gets the associated names of the email addresses?
    Thanks

    The same thing is happening here since the 10.10.2 update but as yet I can't find a solution but I am hoping it's an Apple problem that will get sorted out.
    Eventualy.

  • All contacts lost on backup. replaced with emails addresses from macbook

    Today i backed up my BB to my macbook. I selected full back up as usual, only when i checked the macbook, the contacts from my phone hadn't copied over. 
    So, i looked on support which said i should select contacts on my phone , choose options and then switch off wireless synchronisation and try again , with USB again.
    I did this. Now strangely all my phone numbers have vanished from my phone and have been replaced with email contacts from my macbook. All numbers- gone.
    i tried then to go to restore on macbook again, using BB software desktop thingy it will allow me to back up everything  apart from my contacts which is greyed out.
    Can someone please help. Ive got 10 years worth of phone numbers on that phone and ive lost every single one.
    Is there any way to get them back?
    Whats happened?

    Contact applecare. they have procedures for this.

  • I send them to 50-200 people. Can I copy and paste their email addresses from a previously sent message?

    l

    Hi Sara,
    Thanks but that is not what i need. In my scenario i literally just need to copy all 200 email addresses from a previously sent file and paste them into the box saying "enter recipient email addresses" so that i can send the exact same people a new file. Without this feature this program is virtually useless to me now. Typing them in one at a time or choosing them one at a time from a list is not an option - i will only do this when i send out the first round of files and then i should be able to copy and past the email addresses to send out any added files that every person on the list will need. I just need to select, copy, paste, done. Hope this makes sense.
    Thanks,
    Matt

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
