Mac Mail Address Autofill Leaving Text In Field Instead of Email Address Link

This is a new development that has started occurring since I upgraded to Maverick. When I start typing an address into the address bar, it quickly autofills with the correct address. I used to be able to hit the right arrow for it to enter that address and allow me to add more. Now when I hit the right arrow, it leaves the text in the address line from the autofill, but it isn't formatted as a contact link in a blue bubble. If I press tab it works fine, but then I have to go back each time and click in the address field to continue adding recipients.
I get this:
Instead of this:
Anyone else having this happen? Any workarounds?

Try re-indexing the mailboxes. This can take awhile if you have a lot of mail.
Reindex messages Mavericks/Yosemite
Reindex messages Mountain Lion

Mac Mail 7.3 Scrambling Text

Mac Mail 7.3 Scrambling Text
My text scrambles or bunches up when I backspace or try to forward space. I cannot isolate a single letter.
For about a year. I keep waiting for it to get fixed in the next update. I have been typing everything in my stickies and pasting it in for the past year hoping it would get fixed but now I'm thinking it may be me and my machine. Mac Pro. About 2 years old. If anyone else has had this problem please let me know. Thanks!!
Stephen

This has been happening for months. If anyone knows what's going on I would be very grateful.

If I click on an e-mail address link in a web page instead of a blank message opening I always get a pop up screen with a log-in for googlemail. I do not have and do not want a googlemail account. I just want to be able to send e-mails using Outlook.

OUtlook was already set as the mail client for FF, and is my operating system (XP)'s default mail programme. therefore problem not solved at all. what I get whenever I follow a link in a webpage to send an e-mail is a little pop up window asking me to sign in to gmail or open an account. any other suggestions?

How can i get my e-mail address linked to my skype...

How can i get my e-mail address linked to my skype user name.

You can use a different email account, but it will not appear on icloud.com as iCoud only hosts iCloud email. Just add your account to the email client on your PC as you would any other email account. To add the account on your iOS devices (iPhone), go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account, choose your provider and provide your account details.
You can't redownload purchased ringtones from iCloud for free but you can sync them to your 5c using iTunes. To do so, connect your iPhone 4 to your computer, open iTunes and go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases. Then go to the Tones folder of your iTunes library and confirm that the ringtones appear there. (If you don't see the Tones folder, go to Edit>Preferences>General and make sure Tones is checked in the Show options.)
Then connect your 5c to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of your phone in iTunes, go to the Tones folder of your iTunes sync settings, then check Sync Tones and click Apply at the bottom to sync your phone.

The formatting of text goes wrong in my mac mail when it leaves me?

When I write an email in Mac Mail (sending from a me.com email address), I am able to format the font of the email perfectly well at my end, choosing whatever font etc I want & the settings look fine to select a particular font but then by the time that it arrives with the person I'm sending it to it's nearly always in Times New Roman (whereas it was in Arial for example when I sent it) - but not always, a few people receive it in the font I sent it in (or indeed another random font!).
Sometimes it also has all sorts of strange font sizes and colours if I've cut and pasted into the email or if I've pasted into the email and then made changed to the font i pasted in then these areas where I've amended it come out a different font or different colour, even though it all looks fine on my screen and appears to be the same font size etc. To get round this I have to select all the text in the email every single time I send an email where I have cut and pasted and then select font, font size and colour and reset this...it still means that it arrives in Times New Roman whatever font type I choose, but it does at least arrive in all the same font size and colour.
For some reason, though, it seems to arrive in the font I want if I write a document in Word and then cut and paste this into the body of the email, and similarly the autosignature works perfectly most of the time so that bit usually arrives in the font that I wrote it in...?!
As I'm using mail for business purposes it looks really unprofessional - all ideas gratefully received!

Importing a Mac Mail address book

I have saved a copy of my address book from my desktop computer. It has the file extension of .abbu. How can I import it into my Mac Mail account on my laptop running Mavericks.

Mac Mail address confusion

I have two accounts in Mac mail, let's call them Amail and Zmail. And only one SMTP outgoing mail server, namely, my ISP's server (which is different from the mail servers for both those two acounts).
From account Zmail I send a message and copy me in on it. Apprently the From on it gets changed from my Zmail address that was on the outgoing message to my AMail address. At least that's what I see on the copy sent to me, and because of the change my message is being rejected by a recipient who requires e-mail address registration, where I'm registered with my Zmail address.
What Preference or other setting will fix this?

Csound1 wrote:
2 smtp servers, each with the correct credentials for 1 account.
So it simply won't do to send outgoing messages through the same smtp server? I thought I could do that when I was still using Thunderbird as my e-mail client under OS X rather than Mac Mail.

Mac Mail & Address Book - Capacity & Storage

Hi all - I have a question regarding the maximum capacities for MacMail & Address Book.
MacMail
Is there a maximum number of messages that can be housed in any given folder? I know it's a good idea to move messages from say, the Inbox, to a sub folder to keep the application running at peak. But what about Sent or Trash? Should messages in these mailboxes be cleared to sub folders on occasion? Also, before anyone says anything about deleting messages, this is not an option ; )
As a rule, we've been moving messages from Trash to sub folders on an iMac running 10.4. Our Macbook pro however does not allow for messages to be moved into sub folders from Trash. Why would this be?
At the moment on the iMac the number of messages in a sub folder called Storage (moved from Trash) is 25K. I wonder if this will max out eventually and wipe messages, as happened about 6 months ago in the Trash folder? Is there industrial strength email software that works great on a Mac?
*Address Book*
Similar to the MacMail question. Is there a maximum number of contacts that one can have using Address Book? Does anyone have a recommendation on an industrial strength solution for contact management that plays nicely with Mac?

Gee it's very quiet around here..

HT204053 I run osx 10.5.8 does this mean I cannot have a Mac mail address.....??

this mean I cannot go to icoud but and does it also mean I cannot have a mac mail account.
thank you

If you have MobileMe, you can use a me email. If not, you need OS X Lion to use iCloud

Problem with Mac Mail Address Bar

When I type a name in the Mac Mail program, it can take as much as 15 seconds to find the record and insert the name in the TO bar of my outgoing e-mail. I was told that this may have something to do with the large volme of data bing parsed by the Mac LDAP program. How do I eleminate the long wait time. It's frustrating to simply write an e-mail to anyone. Interestingly, when I write an e-mail in Outlook on a P.C., i don't experience the same lag time issue. Anybody got any solutions?

Seems like it storing the same emails in different folders . As i see now :
All Mail 5.11 GB
Inbox     2.82 GB
Important 2.56 GB
Sent Mail 1.8 GB
Sent          767.4 MB
Starred     482.4 MB
Drafts      57.4 MB
Trash       9.7 MB
Junk e-mail 671 kb
Bin              414 kb
Spam      0
Deleted Items   0
Apple Mail To Do 0
Priority 0
Follow up 0
Misc 0
from this above , i can understand that Inbox ( 2.82 Gb ) and Sent ( 767.4 Mb ) and Drafts are real folders that contains actual files according to the current status on server .
what the **** the other folders contains , i can not get. I though those folders should have just show the same files available in the main folders , in different way, according to Folder focus. Am i right ??
apparently i suspect they just copied original files for some purpuses, insead of working as simple filter folders.
can anybody explain me , how to work this out and make my Mail app do not dublicate emails , but store them in appropriate way and show it to me .

How do I sort Mac Mail addresses 10.7.3?

I checked the Address Book and specified I wanted the email addresses sorted by first name but it didn't change anything and Mail Mail address book didn't change either. How do I sort email addresses?

I have AB/ General set as show first name and sort by first name but it changes nothing. The names are still mixed up.

How to get my Name in the From Field instead of email address?

For an Exchange Activesync account, how do you get your friendly "Name" to show in the From: field rather than email address ([email protected])?
I seem to be able to do this fro IMAP/POP accounts but not Exchange Activesync.
All the discussions I've found about gmail and Activesync seem to be centered on getting your messages to show a different return email address than your exchange account. I'm not looking for this, just to show the Name.
Thanks

If you add a contact ("Contacts app>> "+">> enter info) with that email address, it will appear in mail with whatever name you set in the email address' contact.

Why can't I sync my facebook invitations to my iCal? My Mac Mail won't detect the date/time on the email anymore.

I have been trying to sync my facebook invitations to my iCal and no longer able to do this through my Mac Mail. When I would receive a facebook invitaiton through my comcast email, I used to be able to hover my mouse over the date/time of the invitation and then I could easily "Add to iCal" or "See Date in iCal", but am no longer able to do so. I can still add other invitations, just not the facebook invitations. Any ideas?

You can get your photos off your phone. If they are all in Camera Roll just import them to your new computer (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083). If some of them were synced to your iphone from your computer (i.e., in photo library) just use an app like PhotoSync and send them to your new computer wirelessly. For that matter, you can sync your phone with your new computer without losing your data and settings if you carefully follow this guide: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141. Your only issue will be non-purchased music on your phone which is not in your new iTunes library, which will require 3rd party software such as Touch Copy to transfer from your phone to iTunes (or you will have to rip you CDs again to import them).

I have a spam issue. I'm running Mac Mail 7.3 on Mavericks. Too many spam emails to control utilizing Preference option, plus time consuming. Would like to reject the email, not just place it in junk folder. How to do?
