Internet address with full stops (periods) why error????

Am I missing something but I can't get JavaMail InternetAddress to accept email addresses that have full stops in the name part of the address.
e.g. conrad.crampton@ britishlibrary.com
conrad.crampton@ kent.pnn.police.uk
(spaces in here deliberately)
there are so many email addresses that have '.' in them so are they or not valid???? If not, how do I make them valid for the purposes of JavaMail - can they be surrounded by "" or the . escaped (\.)??
Any suggestions as this is just bonkers!

You are correct in your assumption that this is happening when Transport.send(message) is called.
I don't quite understand about the address not being in the mail server. The mail server I am using is one internal to my organisation (groupwise server), and I am trying to get a mail sent to an outside address in the format given before. The address is valid as far as a Groupwise client goes (and any other client I care to mention), so why is it rejected by the mail server? Does it have to be able to resolve this on some DNS somewhere?
This all sound a little naive but it didn't occur to me to have to understand the minutae of messaging in order to use JavaMail.

Full Stop/Period turned into circle

I can't enter a full stop/period into text. One day "double space bar" produced a small circle instead of ".". I cannot insert via symbol keyboard or via "double space bar". My messages look wrong and I cannot enter email addresses as can't produce the fullstop/period. Please tell me how to fix. Thank you.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness shows up, the first thing to try is a proper reboot:
Pre-BB10 Devices ONLY. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes.
BB10 Devices. Hold the top button down until the counter reaches zero. Wait for the device to be fully shut down (e.g., nothing at all displayed on the screen, no LED lights, etc.). Hold the top button until the red LED is lit. Wait through the full boot-up process. If this fails, you can attempt the battery-pull method above, but it is normally NOT recommended unless nothing else works.
See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Good luck!

Email address with hyphens and periods are invalid - still not fixed after 2.01 update

When I use the native messaging app in OS2 I cannot send or reply to an email address that has a period and a hyphen in it.
the address i'm sending to is [email protected]
the address turns red whether in a reply or selecting the address from the address book. When trying to send an Invalid Address message appears that says "the address fields include one or more invalid addressses. please correct or remove address and try again."
8000 fixes in the new update and this isn't one of them? Why? When will this be fixed - very irritating.

Please, Lost_at-Sea, this is not a typo, it happens when I hit reply! It's also not a bounce message (which is what I would receive if I typed the address wrongly), it's an error message from the email app.
Blackberry staff have confirmed this is a bug in the forums and there is an open issue for it since mid-April.

I think it's a combination of two dots and a hyphen that does it; I haven't heard of anyone unable to email to [email protected], but I might be wrong.

The problem with this address only occurrs in the new native message app with OS2.
Please advise.
tks

It must be the hyphen, as I can send to addresses that have periods in either the prefix, suffix, or both. They hyphen is considered a valid character in SMTP addresses so this might be a bug in the Messages app.

When in firefox, I get a message that says no version of windows media player is supported. When I euse internet explorer with the same website, no error occurs. Why?

I am working in the H&R Block website. When I get ready to take a test in their system, I get that error message described above. If I exit Firefox and use internet explorer instead there is no problem.

Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, does your device connect without that message now?

Iphone 5 wont connect to the internet even with full 3G signal

Basically I bought a brand new iphone 5 and I'm already having problems with it. I have transferred my old number over from my old sim card as I used to be on 02 and have transfered to T- Mobile so I gave them my PAC code and it's all in process and they said it would be done but the 1st October which is fine but in the mean time i still want to use my phone and all the benefits that come with it but i at the moment I cant even connect to the internet. I have full signal so full 3g everywhere I go but I still can't connect to the internet. I have already rung up T-mobile and got them to sort it out for me and they patched me through to Apple who said they could sort it out for me by turning my phone off and on again but still I had no internet. Even now, the next day it still isn't working so I really don't know what to do. Has anyone got any suggestion on this? Do you think it's the phone company or could it be the phone?
Cheers

Have EXACTLY the same issue thePOPEofDOPE420, tried the setting> general> reset> reset network setting suggestion - but this does nothing. Still the issue persists.
WiFi - internet works great. As soon as it's off, status bars showing a full signal, 3G but the web page/Facebook app/App Store just hangs and won't load.
Not sure who to contact - T-Mobile or Apple?

Class will only run with full package path - why?

Hi,
I've recently used Ant to package up a jar file with a simple gui application. Though I believe I've done everything right in terms of packaging I find that when I copy jar file to another computer not only do I need to unjar it I also need to use the full package name in order to get it to run. I thought that I should be able to run it by either using: java -jar CheckLogs
or jar -xvf logUtils.jar, and then java CheckLogs.
Instead only this will work:
java net.kenjanuski.utils.CheckLogs
My understanding is that if I put package net.kenjanuski.utils at top of file that I shouldn't have to use the full package name. Am I missing something obvious? By the way Ant did create the proper directory structure if I unpack the jar: net/kenjanuski/utils/...
Thanks for any ideas,
Ken

I'm not going to try to answer the jar question, but as far as package name goes, if your CheckLogs class starts with the statement "package net.kenjanuski.utils;" then the fully qualified name of the class is net.kenjanuski.utils.CheckLogs. The java.exe command uses the fully qualified name of the class. So the only way it will work is "java net.kenjanuski.utils.CheckLogs" just as you found out.
You can run the Jar file if you define the class in a Manifest file. See http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/jar/basics/run.html

I can ping but not browse to a internet address

I'm using Archlinux 64bit and since a system update I can't open any internet address with a browser. Everything else seems to be ok. I can ping to a url or a ip and I can browse with firefox on Windows XP, which is installed on vbox.
Google is full of similar topics. For example: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11721 But nothings from the suggested workarounds helps:
echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_sack
I've added the testing repository and installed the kernel 2.6.30-3. But it's still not working.
Any ideas?

Dear Scott
I disabled ipV6 as told in the wiki and I can now navigate to any page again. I don't really understand what I have done but at least is working!
Thanks for the help.

Email will not send to email address with a full stop within the name as it drops the last name ie jim.smith@.... changes to jim@....

I am trying to reply or send a email to a email address that has a full stop in the username ie [email protected] When the email sends it drops the surname ie [email protected] I have checked the address from the reply and it is correct even if I type it in it still has the same issue. Does anybody have an idea of what I can do. Thanks

TS1398 my problem is my iphone 4s is connected to the internet(wi-fi) with full signal strength but freezes when browsing and says "Cannot Open Page, Safari could not open page because the server stopped responding".

my problem is my iphone 4s is connected to wi-fi with full signal(3 bars) strength but freezes when browsing and says
"Cannot Open Page"
"Safari could not open page because the server stopped responding"
I already reset the iphone to its factory settings and erase all contents but still the browsing speed freezes or not searching at all. Sometimes it will work and fast but then the problem uccors every now and then. Iv'e been using iphone 4 for two years and I still have it and works fine compared to this IPHONE 4S.

Settings → scroll down to Safari → in Safari settings, I selected both Clear History and Clear Cookies and Data.
IF that does not work -
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Finally - if problem still present -
Go to Settings>General>Reset
Reset the network settings - you will need to add the password of your home WiFi in your phone once more
The device should turn itself off & back on then go into Settings>Wifi and join your network

Full Stop Replaced with UnderScore when downloading

I've been having an issue download files from IE9.
1. Any file i download has the full stop replaced with an underscore before the file extension.
2. Some downloads try downloading a PHP file instead of th requested file.
3. The Download prompt bar remains on the screen, until i click Open or Save. Cancel does not remove the download bar.
4. The first attempt always fails and reports that the file couldn't be downloaded and i have to click retry for every file.
I have tried removing and re-installing IE and running with Add-ons disabled but still having the same issue.
Any help, suggestions or solutions would be appreciated.

I still think diagnosis may be required but it appears that a workaround has been found.
In another thread a safe mode boot was found to be a workaround, doubling my conviction that diagnosis would be required.

FWIW my guess for that one would be the user's AV package. <eg>
In fact, perhaps that interferer would step out of the way when Protected Mode is unchecked? Etc.
Good luck

What can I do when I try to access a URL and get the message "MAC OSX doesn't recognize internet addresses starting with "c:"?

I recently tried to download a pdf file from a website in the UK. Up popped a message saying the website could not be accessed, followed by this message: "MAC OSX doesn't recognize internet addresses starting with "c:". I was able to access the website easily (its domain was "www") and the page listing the pdfs, but could not download a pdf. Of course," c:" appears not to be a valid domain name, but why would anyone use "c:" in place of a domain name in their URL? And what can I do about the problem? I'm using Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and Safari 5.1.10, but also have Firefox and Chrome loaded. Thanks.

An address starting with c: wouldn't be any kind of domain name. C: is the drive lettering system DOS and and later uses. By default, A: and B: are reserved for your first and second floppy disk drive. All hard drives are then named C: through Z:, if you have that many. C: is normally your startup disk.
Anyway, their PDF file is incorrectly linked to a file directly on the C: drive of someone's computer. It's not going to work no matter what you do.

You are probably going to want to upgrade your memory (RAM). While 2 GB is the stated minimum, realistically 4 GB seems to be the consensus minimum. More is better.
The 2 places I’ve seen recommended most to buy reliable RAM are below. I have purchased RAM several times from Other World Computing and have always been very satisfied with the product and service. They have on-line instructions on how to replace the RAM. OWC has also tested RAM above what Apple states is the maximum. I now have 6GB installed on a machine supposedly limited to 4 GB.
