Mail aliases are not anonymous.

I was very disappointed to find out that mail aliases are not anonymous. I sent email while on my iPad from an alias that was intended to be anonymous, and found that my real name appeared on it instead of the nickname that I set when creating the alias.
I'm really annoyed by this, and I'm glad that I only used the alias for talking to an online friend.

Allan,
The Bcc'ed email addresses are supposed to (in the spec) be stripped off by the destination SMTP server. There is a possibility that the destination SMTP server is misconfigured and doesn't strip off the BCC, but the SMTP specification says that they're to be stripped off.
http://www.livinginternet.com/e/ea_bcc.htm
Because of this minor loophole, some SMTP servers send an individual message for each BCC'ed address, thereby removing the BCC list from the outgoing email at the source, not expecting the destination SMTP server to do it. The spec allows for this, and almost even recommends it.
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2821.txt (search for BCC)
And yes, I'm sure about this.

  • Mail notifications are not getting sent from a Calendar client

    Mail notifications are not getting sent from a Calendar client
    <p>
    On the client, after creating an event and electing to send a mail notification,
    the following error appears in a pop up box:
    "module:mailmsg.ctp,label 190, service error"
    Also, in the /users/unison/log/cws.log file on the Calendar Server, there is an
    error from the corresponding time that the client receives one:
    DEXOTEK ERRCODE Ox132B0 -> CWTCP_RemoteSecurityModified: RNC_SecurityModified
    -> Request 0x443 for NodeId 10002,
    status set to CANTSERVICE
    Solution:
    If this is only happening for one user, then check for the presence of a dbv.log
    file in the /users/unison/log directory. If present this implies db corruption
    and the /users/unison/bin/unidbfix tool should be run.
    Note: For details on "unidbfix", please read the man page and also the online
    Calendar Administrators Guide.

  • My voice mail messages are not appearing as they are left. Often no voicemails show up until 4 weeks after they have been left

    I am having trouble with my voice mail on the iPhone. The voicemails are not appearing until 3 even 4 weeks after they are left by a caller. Last night 10 voice messages came through all at once, one left before Thanksgiving. Is this an iPhone issue or an issue with the carrier?

    I'm having the same issue. It began three or four days ago. I'd notice that I'd miss a call but the person wouldn't leave a message.
    Two days later, suddenly three or four new voicemails will pop up from the past couple of days. The time stamp on the messages is correct-- it will show that the caller left the vmail a day or two before.
    Also, in what has to be a related problem, some of the voicemails appear to be corrupted and cannot be played.
    I have a 4s and my software is up-to-date. I have made no material changes to my phone, other than automatic software updates to explain this.
    It's enormously frustrating and as a job seeker, I can't afford to miss voicemails. Does anyone know if this is the phone or the carrier (AT&T)?
    Any help and input will be enormously appreciated.

  • Mail settings are not saved any more

    Hi,
    after my mailbox structure has crashed, I tried to reset Mail as explained in this answer: https://discussions.apple.com/message/22302114#22302114
    After restarting Mail all settings were deleted (as expected) and I set up my accounts and settings again. Then I recognized that the settings are not saved any more. I tried some times but Mail didn't save the settings.
    I hope there is a chance to fix this problem.
    Thanks for help.

    Thanks for linked document but I find it funny and someone rude that the article assumes that EVERYONE knows the lingo used - i.e. Profile Folder is in "%APPDATA%\Mozilla\" . Where the hell is that???? Jesus, it's much easier to switch to Chrome.

  • Yosemite Mail preferences are not saved

    Hello,
    I just update my Yosemite to 10.10.3.
    After some problems with Mail, I've been forced to delete container files and enveloppe index file, all is better except that now mail doesn't saved preferences anymore..
    Also, the windows positions are not saved as well...
    Last information: ON my preferences folder, I got only com.apple.mail-shared.plist file, but no com.apple.mail.plist file... Doesn't now if it's normal or not..
    Thanks for your help
    Here is the transcript of my console file:

    }>

    But should I see a com.apple.mail.plist file ?
    No, not in Yosemite.
    Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore is not, in itself, a solution.
    First, empty the Trash, if possible.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    find ~ $TMPDIR.. \( -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 \) 2>&- | wc -l | pbcopy
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run.
    Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear.
    The output of the command will be a number. It's automatically copied to the Clipboard. Please paste it into a reply.
    The Terminal window doesn't show the output. Please don't copy anything from there.

  • Smart mailbox for mails which are not in another smart mailbox

    Hello!
    I tried to create a smart mailbox for all the mails which doesn't appear in any other smart mailbox.
    I know that I can tell my smart mailbox not to look for mails who are in the inbox or the other default-boxes of the mail program.
    But how can I choose a smart Mailbox instead???

    Thanks, John, but the original idea isn't mine. Someone else realized that some time ago:

  • Mail passwords are not saved to the Keychain

    This problem seems to relate to the long standing Mail Password issue that has been frustrating many Tiger (and Panther) users.
    Firstly: Mail keeps asking for account passwords in an unpredictable way. Even if I "save these to the keychain" via 'allways allow', I still get the prompts for mail account passwords after waking from sleep or later in the day.
    Secondly: Keychain hasn't stored the passwords at all anyway.
    Thirdly: 'Mail Preferences' doesn't store my account passwords. I re-enter them and they don't show up in the password box.
    This has cropped up since the latest set of security updates in Tiger.
    I have done the following.
    Repaired disc permissions.
    Run Keychain First Aid.
    Re-entered the passwords into Mail Preferences on numerous occasions.
    Run Cocktail utilities to clear caches/rotate logs/ just about everything.
    My Mail is set to send/retrieve every minute. I have re-set this to every 5 minutes, but all of the above problems still apply.
    I am on ADSL broadband via a NetGear router, wirelessly through Airport.
    I think I am correct in assuming this may be a bug in the way Mail handles server traffic but whatever it is, it needs help!
    Nicholas Down

    ok guys, I found out how to fix this.
    First way (harder way):
    1. Open the keychain access application that rests inside your utilities folder.
    2. Push the "Show Keychains" button on the lower left, if your keychains are not visible
    3. In the menu item "file" pick "New Keychain"
    4. Name the new keychain and pick a password
    5. Mark your new keychain and pick "Make Keychain "your keychain" Default"
    6. Pick "Change Settings" from the "Edit" menu and uncheck everything.
    Voilá!
    Alternative and much simpler way:
    I found out that my old keychain simply was not recognized because the extension was removed. So, if you still have your old keychain file saved in the appropriate folder (your user folder(home)->library->keychains), simply add ".keychain" to the name. Open Keychain access to check if it was recognized or not.
    Worked for me.
    Good luck!

  • 2.1.1.64: Column aliases are not shown where editing a view

    When I right click an existing view and choose "Edit..." I cannot find a way to alter the column aliases.
    Something as obvious as this must be possible, so I wonder: what am I overlooking?
    TA

    There are not a Alter view instruction to modify column alias. To modify alias column oracle must execute a create or replace view with the new especifications.
    Then, the view ddl is at SQL tab, modify it and execute.

  • Mail accounts are not showing up in Mail

    I recently migrated my 2011 MBP to a 2013 MBP.  I had Mavericks installed on both computers.  Everything works fine except that I can't add other mail accounts.  I put in my primary email (a GoDaddy account) and my local cable account (Time Warner).  When I added my Exchange, iCloud, and Gmail accounts, I do not get any inboxes for them in Apple Mail.  I deleted all the accounts, added them back through either mail prefs or accounts, I deleted plist, I restarted in safe mode and ran diagnostics, yada yada.  I only get my GoDaddy and Time Warner inboxes eventhough the accounts pane in system prefs says they're all there.  Interestingly, I do get calendar information from my exchange account.  Also, these mailboxes are still working perfectly fine on my older laptop.  Any ideas?

    Hi troxelweb,
    This is occurring because the 'Administrators' role does not have permission to 'Manage Email Accounts'. If you're able to, log into the admin console > Site Settings > User Roles > Administrators > Permissions, and assign 'Manage Email Accounts' to this role.
    If you can't update the permissions, let me know and I will do this on your behalf.
