Incoming Email Has Extra & False Recipient in Mail

I noticed the other day that emails sent from websites (automatically) say they are being sent to me and a person from my contact list. It's only using this one person. I asked her if she was getting these emails, and she said she was not. Also, if I search her name using the "To" filter, the emails do not show up.
I had downloaded some system updates a few days prior. Yesterday, I saw there was another update out so I downloaded that, hoping it there was a glitch in the earlier one and the new one would fix the issue. It didn't.
I'm using iAntiVirus and MacScan. Neither of them are finding a problem.
Does anyone know what's going wrong with my Mail program and how to fix it?

Make sure your email address isn't inadvertently on that person's contact card in Address Book.
Open /Applications/Address Book and type your email address into the search field. Does more than one contact card come up?

Only Incoming emails not being received on Mac Mail

Hello,
I am able to receive incoming emails on my Blackberry as well as my Webmail, but since a couple of days, my incoming Emails are just not being received on my Mac Mail, specific to 1 Account only. I have multiple accounts on my Mac Mail.
Please assist.

Hello Shadab333
Start with using Connection Doctor to see if there is anything that is preventing it from receiving email. Depending on the settings of that email address in Mail you may not receive them once they have been checked elsewhere. Check out the article below to troubleshoot the issue further.

HT201320 on my iPad3, i have my company email address and my gmail email account and yahoo email account. i send out email using my company's email account, but the recipient recieves mail as the From: my gmail account. why is this happening?

on my ipad3, i have a company email account, gmail account, and a yahoo account. my issue is that when using my company email account (making sure that my company email account is on the From: field), the recepient on the over end receives it with my google email account on the From:. and so when they reply, it goes to my gmail account.
Please note that my "default email" is yahoo.com on the ipad's settings - > mail.
i do not have any forwarding and this only happens on my ipad.
Advice is appreciated. Thank you

ios devices can only send emails from the default sending email you setup that in the settings

Incoming email attachments grayed out in apple mail

On My MacBook Pro I sometimes receive emails with photos attached that are either completely or partially grayed out. Anyone know how to fix this? I do not have the same problem with my iPhone or IPad.
Thanks for your assistance.

You need to ensure the signature is assigned to an account. For examle I have an iCloud and an Exchange Account. Select the account you want to add the signature and then the "Choose Signature" selection should no longer be greyed out.
If you have a signatures when "All Signatures" is selected but all your account list "0 Signature" you can click and drag the signature to the proper account. Than you should be able to do the above.

What Reverse DNS Lookup does is attempt to validate that the piece of mail came from an IP that belongs to the domain in the EHLO/HELO command - http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/WindowsServer2003/Library/IIS/233c0fde-7315-479a-a7fb-2e9d00ff73fd.mspx?mfr=true
So it doesn't directly filter spam (certainly possible to get spam from GMail/Hotmail servers that Reverse DNS Lookup will see as 'valid').

Incoming email replaces content with contents from old email already in inb

This morning for no apparent reason, incoming email has its content replaced with the entire content from seemingly random emails received months ago. It also replies the sender email to that attached to the old content.
What could be happening here?

Hello, and welcome to the Discussions.
This is an indexing problem. Are you using any plugins or add on software for Mail? Any anti-virus or internet software, or backup software that is not Apple?
If only noticed in the Inbox, then open the Inbox (for one account only, if more than one account is setup), click on Mailbox in the Menubar, and choose Rebuild. Rebuild repairs the universal index that Mail uses, but be aware that at one point in its operation, all message will disappear from the list of messages before all reappear. It can take several minutes if there are lots of messages.
Is this account POP or IMAP, btw? I ask this because you should not use the method Mulder recommended if using an IMAP account, without additional steps.

Incoming email sounds

I have 3 iPhones. Incoming email has the same 'beep or ding' on each. How can I change the sound so that I can tell them apart?

There is no option. Only SMS sound can be altered.

Upgraded to Mountain Lion a week ago suddenly unable to receive incoming emails from Mail.6

Upgraded to Mountain Lion a week ago. Suddenly unable to receive incoming emails from Mail.6
Can successfully send outgoing messages.
Have completed following tasks to no avail:
1)          When click on "Take all accounts online" and entering password for gmail / looking at Mail Connection Doctor: Got Green light, Mail was able to connect to the Internet. But…
"Trying to log in to this Goggle Imap account failed. Verify username and password are correct."
I have verified username and password being correct.
2)          System Preferences > Mail, Contacts and Calendars typed in name, email address & gmail password and got this message.
"Unable to verify account name and password."
3)          Mail> preferences>account>password. Confirmed correct password, name, email address and imap "address" Then to Advanced & confirmed correct port . Restarted computer.
"lay person terms" appreciated.
Thanks!

Found solution, Yeay!   No coincidence. Mountain Lion (osx 10.8, upgraded) is not compatible with Gmail if one has 2-step verification set up on their gmail security settings.
There are 2 options to solving problem
1)   https://discussions.apple.com/message/19109209#19109209)
This will take you through the process to disable 2-step security feature on gmail security page. Thank You iPatA.
2)   http://support.google.com/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&ctx=ch_b/0/SmsAuthConfig& answer=185833
This will take you through the process of assigning an "application specific password" to upgraded Mail 6.0 for successful communication between Mail 6.0 Mountain Lion while keeping a 2 step verification process if you prefer.
Thanks for you energy & effort rkaufmann87.
Sincerely, much appreciated.
I love this Apple community.

Mac Mail incoming email not loading when on home cable broadband

I'm having a new problem (started happening just 2 night ago, for no apparent reason). Incoming emails no longer working on any apple device (iPhone 5, iPad, MacBook Pro) when connected to my home broadband wireless modem (cable, netgear cg3100d). This is despite all devices accessing websites without any issues, and speedtest showing 32mbps when connected to this modem. When I take any of these devices to connect to my work's wireless internet connection the mails load fine. Likewise if i switch off wifi on the phone and use the 3G or 4G the emails load.
What could be the cause since I haven't changed any settings? I'm nowhere near my monthly download limit either.
I've also noticed that Apple TV loading content has slowed right down. This seems to be related since it has occurred at the same time. Strange that only email and Apple TV is affected. Websites all load fine and at full speed.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Timdk,
The port settings for mail.bigpond.com changed a few months ago and this is starting to be enforced. Please check your settings against those in the table on this link: https://go.telstra.com.au/helpandsupport/-/email-settings-summary
I would suggest performing a factory reset of the modem via the interface http://192.168.0.1 and you will find this option located under Set Password in the left hand menu.
Once done, test it again and let us know how you went

No incoming emails altho all other mail is OK

I have not received any incoming emails for 5 days which is most unusual. I have asked friends to send me messages to check but no luck. All other aspect of my mails are working ie sending, trash etc., and I have checked that my server incoming & outgoing system has not altered.
Can anyone help?

In mail, if you click window and connection doctor, do all accounts show green dots next to them? If one shows red, click on details to see where to fix it. You can also view the detail as it tries to connect by clicking show detail.

Mail: how does one block consistently annoying incoming emails from someone?

Hello, ... I would like to put a simple block on incoming emails from a person on my iMac mail. Can anybody give me a suggestion on how to do this? It would even be a bonus if the person that keeps sending me emails is given a message something to the effect "your sent email is being blocked by the recipient". Thanks for helping me on this, ...

Define them as Junk and set your preferences to delete them without opening.

How do I ensure mail is sent from the correct email account? I have two set up on my iPad, and it seems to choose which one to use somewhat randomly. This has happened both when using Mail and when emailing form another app.

I have two email accounts set up on my iPad -- one I use & one I monitor for a disabled person. On several occasions, mail I have composed and sent from my email account was sent showing the other account as the sender. This has happened both from within Mail and when emailing from other apps, such as Safari, Photos, etc. Any idea what is going on and how to prevent this from happening?

Are you confirming your POP account is selected as the sending email account before the message is sent?
And regardless if the email is a new email or is replying to or forwarding an email received by the POP account and cofirming the POP acconut is selected as the sending email account, the message is sent by the Gmail account?
All message sent by the POP account are sent by the Gmail account?
If so, delete the Gmail account from your iPad and test if a message sent with your POP account which will be the only email account available with the iPad's Mail app is recieved from your POP account/address.
If not, something else is wrong or on play that has nothing to do with the iPad.

I have a OSX version 10.7.5. On Safari mail I can no longer see the information that usually appears at the beginning of an incoming email, like the date, senders details etc. What do I do to be able to see this again?

I have a OSX version 10.7.5. On Safari mail I can no longer see the information that usually appears at the beginning of an incoming email, like the date, senders details etc. What do I do to be able to see this again?

No, I get my mail on my computer, not on a website. I used to be able to see the information but in sorting another issue I must have changed a setting or something. I have gone to View. Under Message Attributes most things are ticked but many of them are not bold print i.e. they are pale grey. I don't know how to activate them again.

PI: Sender Mail adapter: archive incoming email

Hi!
Our task is to archive the incoming email unchanged - in the file adapter I have the possibility to store the processed file on a different location. Do I have this possibility also with the mail adapter?
IMplementing a Module bean is not possible in our case as we use sMIMe security and the framwork does the signature checking before calling the adapter modules and also removes the certificate attachment from the incoming data.
Any help would be fine!
I have heard of "Security archiving" - can be found in the RWB when selecting the adapter engine - does anybody hav experience with this?
kr Martin

Hi Martin,
On the STATUS tab itself, you will a lot of other options, like - Repeat Ping, Repeat Self-Test, Communication Channel Monitoring and so on. At the same place, you will find option for Security Archiving. Once you click on that, a new window will pop-up. There you can configure your archiving options.
Have a look at this - http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/en/8c/2ec59131d7f84ea514a67d628925a9/frameset.htm
Hope this helps.
