ICal & attendees: how do I select which email address?

When I add attendees to an iCal event (local or CalDAV, it doesn't matter), from either the Address Panel or dragging names from Address Book itself, they're automatically added with their 'top' email address. This is somewhat expected, but I cannot change the address that their name is linked to.
For example:
a friend of mine has two email addresses. The top one is their school account, and the bottom one is their gmail one.
In the Address Panel, I can see (and select) either address, and drag to the event's attendee list. But it always selects their school account, and the drop-down in iCal doesn't give me any other options.
If I drag from Address Book, the behavior is the same.
I've occasionally encountered apparent glitches, where an attendee is added TWICE with one drag-drop action. Stranger still, these result in the first/top name containing only their top email address, while the second contains all of their email addresses (the expected and desired result).
If I type in their name, the drop-down list contains all possible matches and all their email addresses, and if I select one, it behaves as expected, and selects that address, and not the top one. The name now in the list only contains the selected email, however, instead of all of their addresses.
So... is there a way I can get all those email addresses to appear all the time? Or at least some way to enforce which email is added, instead of randomly adding the 'top' one, which may or may not be correct?
And if this isn't the normal behavior (which it doesn't seem to be), may I HIGHLY recommend that it become the normal behavior? Obviously, an email address must be chosen by default, but why limit the choices when you have access to all of them? Especially when it makes groups nearly useless when used to add as attendees?

To view a different account in the Mail app tap the email account name at the top left of the Inbox, then tap Mailboxes at the top of the folder selection window, and you should then be able to select a different email account and navigate down into it's folders

Q10 - How di I select which email accounts are visible in the "Hub"

As I am slowly getting used to the new "features" of Q10 (I still think of most of them as bugs) and figuring out how to work around them, I am stuck on the Hub.
It seems to me that one good way to manage this constant issue of what is shown/saved/screened, etc would be to set up multiple email accounts (still dont understand why a mailing address dictates how the messages are handled, but that is another topic)
The problem i am faced with is that I cannot figure out how to change the settings of the hub to select which email addresses are shown in the hub, and which ones I need to go to separately (ir no be shown in the Hub)
Effectively, what i have done is set up many email address such as [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], etc and i only want to see abc1 and abc3 in the hub... you get the idea.
thank you for your help in advance.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It is possible to define which accounts show up in the hub.
Go into the Hub and press on the 3 dots in the lower right corner. Then press Settings. Then choose Hub Management. Toggle the accounts you want to make visible/invisible.

In a Smart Group in AddressBook 6.1, how do I designate which email addresses I want to use?

In a Smart Group in AddressBook 6.1, how do I designate which email address I want to use for contacts who have more than one address when I'm mailing to the whole group? The "Edit Distribution List" is grayed out.

Thanks, Barney, but that's not really my question. The "Edit Distribution List" is in the Edit menu on my version, too, but I can't use it to edit the email addresses of contacts who are in Smart Groups. In the version of AddressBook I was using before I bought a new MacBook Pro and upgraded to Mac OSX Lion, I could use the "Edit Distribution List" to pick which email address I wanted to use for contacts in Smart Groups with more than one address. Apparently that isn't an option in Lion. The Help menus for AddressBook 6.1 even say that "Edit Distribution Lists" doesn't work for Smart Groups.
Okay. I get that. But some of my contacts have more than one email address, so how do I choose which email address I want Mail to use for these contacts when I send an email to a Smart Group they're in?

How do you specify which email address to use in a group list?

Hi All,
I've got several group lists created in Address Book. When I want to send an email to a group using Mail I cannot specify which email address gets used for a person that has multiple addresses in Address Book.
My process is as follows: create a new blank message, address the note to myself, move to the bcc field, click the "Address" button at the top of the message pane. When I click on a name that has multiple email addresses I can click on the one that I want, but when I click to another name and click back the previously selected address is highlighted again. It seems that the selection of the address won't 'stick'. Is there any way to force the selection? Also, I originally thought that the group list defaulted to the home address, but I noticed that some entries have their work address selected by default.
Thanks for any help.
-Chris

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I knew there was an option to do that somewhere. For some reason I had it in my mind that you made those selections in Mail.

How do I choose which email address to send a calendar invite from?

I use iCalendar for business. I don't want to send company calendar invites with my personal @.mac account. Years ago I had a Bberry and could choose which email address to send it from while creating a meeting in the calendar. Is this not possible with Apple Technology?

Open Mail app. Click where it says mail on the upper left corner of the screen, choose preferences choose accounts tab on the top then select the account you don't want anymore and click the - button at the bottom.

How do I select multiple email address for a single person in my address book when creating a new email?

I am coordinating a large group of people and created a group list of over one hunderd people. The group is families and each person in the address book has several e-mail addresses. How do I select all the email address under each person in the address book so every family member recieves the e-mails?
It appears I can select any ONE email address but selecting multiples from any one person is not allowed, why is that? Any tips would be appreciated, thanks.

Not sure about this problem. But if you don't get an answer soon, go here which is the Mail forum for Leopard (which you listed in your sig).

Choosing which email address shows when emailing

How do you select which email address appears when you click on 'write' in Apple Mail? I have 5 addresses but for some reason it has started choosing one that I do not use that often rather than my main usage one. I'm using Mavericks.

No, it's your reply to my solution.
Mine say Csound1 at top left.
But it works now, enjoy the accolade.

Choosing from which email address an ical invitation comes from

I have several email addresses and would like to choose each time from which email address my ical invitation comes from. Now it always comes from my work email address and I definitely do not want that. I went into my card in the address book and saw that my work email address was the top email address so I deleted that and entered it in again, hoping it would then be at the bottom but no, as soon as I saved my contact card the work email address sneaked up to the top.
How can I choose (without fiddling with the contact card) from which email address my ical invitation comes from?
Hope there is someone out there with a solution

I'm at work so I am not on my Mac but if memory serves me correctly, the email is sent from your default email address which is set in Apple Mail's preferences. Currently, I have my default send address set to "whichever account is selected".
So, in Mail if my MobileMe email address is selected, the invite is sent from MobileMe. If Gmail is selected, Gmail sends the invite.
Give that a try and see if it works.

How do I select and email a whole lot of photos on my iPad from my iPad emails? It seems I have to go into Email and then insert one photo at a time? Isn't there a way to select all in the photos and then email the batch.?

How do I select and email a whole lot of photos on my iPad from my iPad emails? It seems I have to go into Email and then insert one photo at a time? Isn't there a way to select all in the photos and then email the batch.?

Actually, you can email up to 5 at a time from the Photos app. Select any more and the email share option will not appear.
If you explain why you need to email large numbers of photos, we might be able to offer an alternative.

We'll I don't think there's a easy way to delete a lot of emails besides deleting all of them. To delete all of them click on inbox them edit then "mark all" then trash/delete. Other than that you will have to specifically deleted the ones you want to delete.

How do you select multiple emails from the contacts book.

Using 10.8.4. I would like to use mail and select multiple email address' from the contacts book to send the same message to multiple persons. I thought I used to be able to select more than one at a time from my contacts book. Am I crazy or did they change the way it works from the previous version of software.
Or, could you go to the contacts book and email from there. Either way it seems like it was easy to do and now I have to select one at a time and keep going back to the contacts/address book for another name.

Hi shelereric,
Once you open a new message, you should be able to just start typing the first letters of the contact's name, and Mail should give you a dropdown to select from:
So, you should not have to go back and forth between your contacts and mail....anyone in your address book should show up on the dropdown as well as anyone you have received emails from or sent emails to even if they are not in your contacts....
Is that not what is happening for you? Are you using the Mail app on the Mac?
Cheers,
GB

How can I change which email messages I wish to receive from Apple?

With the exception of Apple advertisements, I am currently not receiving email messages from Apple at my primary email address. This includes receipts, including a receipt for a new laptop purchased two weeks ago. I had to call the store and ask them to send the receipt to my secondary email address. I was just on the phone with AppleCare support and was told I can manage what I do and do not wish to receive from Apple, and at which email address I wish to receive messages. All I want to do is re-start receiving email messages from Apple.

This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID, verify the changes, enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone".
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, verify it once again, delete the iCloud account from your device and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

How do I remove an email address from the imessge in settings?

When i sent an imessage to one of my contacts who is also an owner of the iphone, she says that I am sometimes sending it via email. I went into settings and then to messages and I have 2 addresses, one of them is my email address. I now want to remove my email address as it seems to be causing me problems. How do I remove my email address? I am aware that i touch "Receive At" which has 2 addresses, but I am wanting to remove the email address but nothing is happening. Help!

You're welcome.
If that email address is your Apple ID, I don't believe you can delete it.
If you have your cell phone number selected as your Caller ID, when sending an iMessage it will be sent from your phone number.
Since your Apple ID email address is registered as well, if someone has your email address in their contacts, they can select your email address to send you an iMessage in addition to your phone number.
When this recipient says you are sometimes sending an iMessage via email, it is received as an email with the Mail app on their iPhone, not with the Messages app?
