Mac Mail won't autocomplete some addresses it recognizes in search

Hi, using Mail on my Mac I see multiple email address when using the search option on the upper right corner of the screen, yet when writing a new email the app does not autocomplete/recognize those addresses - how do I get Mail to autocomplete those addresses? Thx!

  • Mac Mail won't send messages through some accounts

    For many weeks I've had to use gmail because Mac mail won't let me go through either my business server or my personal website. I can send if I just use the browser so I know they are working. I've tried various addresses for my out going mail- nothing. I've gone into preferences and disabled those accounts, quit mail, then reenabled them again- still nothing.
    My secretary is having the same problem on her Mac mini. Any suggestions?

    I've encountered this issue too and I believe it may be an ISP issue. When I set up a new internet provider at my home I was at first unable to send business mail from home. Eventually I solved the problem by calling the ISP and they either made an adjustment or had me change some obscure setting on my computer or modem (it's been so long I can't remember exactly what it was). I still sometimes run into this problem when I take my laptop elsewhere. One way to check and see if this is the issue for you (if you have a laptop) is to take your computer to a coffee shop or some other place with wifi and see if you can send out mail using your business address from there. You also might want to check and see whether you are able to send mail to other addresses within your organization, or whether the inability to send email is across the board. I mention that because I seem to remember that I ran into an issue of some servers being unwilling to forward email that comes from outside to another address that is outside. So if you try to send an email from home, using your business address, to an address outside of your business, it may reject it, while accepting an address within the business.
    Hope this helps and please bear in mind that I'm no expert at all.

  • TS3276 the connec doctor sr but mac mail won't connect?

    How do you connect to gmail in mac mail when the connection doctor says the connection was successful to the server but mac mail won't connect even after re-inputting the password?

    mac mail won't connect to the Comcast POP or smpt servers
    So your saying that you have comcast at home and it works fine from this machine?
    If you mail works fine at home, then if it doesn't work on the road, it most likely isn't your machine.  It is some other problem:
    -- with the other network
    -- perhaps comcast is preventing foreign mail from working.

  • TS3276 Mac Mail won't send emails with signatures

    My Mac Mail won't send emails with signatures. I get the "whoosh" sound and they show in sent mail, but the recipient doesn't receive them until I take off the signature and resend the email. Without a signature, it is received. It never used to be a problem, but started this past month. Please advise!

    Did Earthlink have you try using their authenticated SMTP server?
    If not, try changing Earthlink's SMTP server settings to the following:
    SMTP Server: smtpauth.earthlink.net
    Server Port: 25 or 587. Assuming Earthlink is your ISP, 25 should work.
    Use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL): Off or not selected.
    Authentication Type: MD5 Challenge-Response. Not sure if this authentication type is available with 10.2 and if not, select Password.
    User Name: Your entire Earthlink email address.
    Password: The password for your Earthlink email account - the same password used to check the incoming mail server for new messages.

  • My mac mail sends a false return address

    my mac mail sends a false return address.
    isp (Att yahoo) indicates false return address is one of thiers, but cannot understand how our computer finds it inorder to send out. The false address lists an odd email server (pimout) instead of sbcglobal ([email protected]).
    isp suggests mac mail must be making contact with the server, and finding this address, some how in a search for it's appropriate address is the theory, because it is one of their's.....but has never been our address..
    So, I don't really care why, but figure if I trash the right lib/pref file, I can lose this problem.
    help

    Paul, this is not a very clear description of your problem, but let's give it a try;
    In your Preferences for Mail, Accounts, what do you have there as email name? the correct address?
    Can you send me an email (provided somewhere in my profile when you click on my name) so I can see what the data in there looks like?

  • I want to use Mac Mail for my work email address, which containts multiple outbound options (i.e. hr@, me@ etc). Is there a way to set up Mac Mail to have an account with multiple outbound addresses rather than adding in multiple accounts?

    This sounds like the age old problem with keychain & Safari. I don't know of a way to solve it without using something like 1Password.
    The iOS app has it's own built in browser, so it has more control over what gets autofilled. Safari on OS X has an 1Password extension that handles account selection & autofill etc.
    Keychain is great in principle, but it quickly falls down when you need tight integration with many ID's & different use cases (work, home etc).
    I'd suggest you submit feedback to Apple about your thoughts. I did so years ago about this issue & this is how far we have come (back to the point where me.com synced passwords) :^)
    http://apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
    Other tools like lastpass or keypassx may also help if you want to truly segregate password storage, but that doesn't fix autofill, the way around that issue is to dedicate one browser for work.

  • Mail won't auto complete address completely

    Hello.  This may be hard to explain properly but here goes!  In Mac Mail, when I type an address in the TO line, it auto completes the address and it is highlighted in blue, but I have to click in the text portion of the message in order for it to become one address in the TO line.  I'm quite sure in Mavericks, that once I had begun to type the address, it would auto complete completely and I could go on to the Subject line.  Hope someone can assist in this. Thanks.

    Thanks Eric, that is a solution of sorts but I would find it better if it would be done without having to click in the subject area or
    hitting return as you suggest.  Thanks for your input.

  • My mac mail won't let me receive emails but will let me send them. How do i fix this ?

    my mac mail won't let me receive emails but will let me send them. How do i fix this ?

    I am intermittently having the same problem. I can send email, but once the Mail application is opened, it will only pull emails in from the server one time and then I have to "Force Quit" and restart the application to receive incoming mail again.  I've tried restarting the computer. I've made sure I have all the system updates. I've checked for conflicts between applications and so far nothing fixes the problem. Once in a while, Mail starts functioning normally on its own, but in a few days it goes back to the same old problem. Has anyone figured out what if going on with this isse?

  • Mac Mail won't send .mac mail

    All of a sudden Mac Mail won't send mail from my .mac account through it's mail server even though the MobileMe sends mail just fine.
    Anyone know what may be up?
    I hate using the mobile me mail.

    I experienced the same problem--unable to SEND mail using MobileMe server. Changed to port 587, now seems to work (cross fingers).
    I also noticed that I cannot change the incoming mail server name from "mail.mac.com" to "mail.me.com." When I try to change then save, it reverts to "mail.mac.com."
    By the way, under the "Advanced" menu, can anyone explain "IMAP Path Prefix"? It's blank by default, I gather. Why might someone use a prefix here? Also the default port is 143 and the "Use SSL" block is unchecked.
    Merely curious.

  • After upgrading to Lion, Mac MAIL won't import address book!!

    After a LONG download of the Lion upgrade, I find that I can't import my old address list from Mac MAIL.  Anybody have this problem?  Also can't setup any email accounts in Mac MAIL, manually or by import.  This was no problem at all with SL. 

    Robert,
    vCard is a sort of standard that can be used in many addressbook-like applications.
    Exactly how do you attach them?
    Do you export the vcards from AB and then send them as attachment in Mail?
    They should be included inyour mail without problem, and on the receiving end, when they have a program that support vCards, they should have no problem importing them.
    Mail does it almost automatically, just double clicking will send it to your AB.
    .MAc will not think it is a virus.
    Do you have just address data in there or do you have something in the Notes field that messed it up?
