Mail and addresses from Address Book

When I type an e-mail address in the "To" field of a new message, Mail recovers the full name from Address Book and adds it to the e-mail address. Sometimes I don't want this to happen, instead I want to enter just the plain e-mail address. I know I can edit the address in the "To" field, but I have to enter some character(s) to override the default, otherwise if I just remove the name the system puts back the full name from Address Book. Is there a possibility to get just the e-mail address from Address Book but not the full name of that person? Sometimes I use nicknames, or mnemonic characters instead of real names and I don't want these to be seen by the recipient.

I like the idea of Mail retrieving the email addresses from Address Book, but what I don't like is that it also retrieves "Last" and"First" names, and that it does not allow me to remove them from the "To" field when composing the message. Imagine that I have an entry in my Address Book such as "JOHN (THE FAT) DOE", Or "MARY (THE BLOND) DOE". Obviously, I do not want the recipients to know that I call them "the fat John", or "the blond Mary". Or, that I am sending a message to several people, and for confidentiality reasons I do not want them to know the names of the others. In other words, I want to retrieve email addresses from Address Book but NOT the real name of that person, or at least have the possibility to remove Last and First Names from the "To" field and show only the email address.
Thanks, and regards.

Can't drag and drop from Address Book to Mail?

Hi,
I have always used Address Book to store my email contact information in SL. When I wanted to send an email, I would drag and drop from Address Book to the "To:" field in Mail and it would add the contact information to Mail. I upgraded to Lion, and now when I try this, the address icon moves like it should, the little green circle with the + in it appears when I hover over the field, but when I release it does not add the address to Mail. The drag and drop does not work at all, but it looks like it should. I have searched all around but have not found any information about this. Does anyone know what's up with this? How can I fix it? Thanks in advance.

Are you dragging from the actual AddressBook application, or the Address icon you can add to the NewMail and Reply toolbars in Mail? (It ought to be there by default, but isn't).
Either should work, but if AB doesn't, try the icon method:

Email address from address book on E72 and removin...

Hi,
I like my E72 but I have two problems that really annoy me.
1. In the past when ever I would write a new email I would get list of suggested email addresses in the "To" field. For example, if I would was to write the letter S I would get the email address of the people in my address book whose name starts with an S (sam, Sofia etc).
for some reason this feature stopped working on my phone and I can't find how to make it work again. if I want to send an email I need to manually write the email address in the "To" field.
The auto suggestion feature works perfectly on my wife's phone (an E72 with the same firmware – 22.007) but on my phone it won't suggest email addresses from my contacts.
2. Another problem is that my Gmail that is synced to the phone, through the Nokia Messenger server is locked on "hide emails older than 2 weeks". Now, I have hundreds of emails stored on my phone that dates to February 1st – the day I got the Phone!
Is there a way to delete these emails automatically, without deleting them on the Gmail account itself? It makes my phone really when going through the emails.
Thanks in advance,
External

Hullo all...
I've fixed the problem with my email service on E72. The thing is, there's something wrong with the Nokia Messaging service. So I turned the service off. But you must remove the inbox properly, that is from the web site email/nokia.com, and manage your inbox from there and not from your cell phone.
Remove it, and make a new settings on your E72 for your preferable mailbox. When they asked you about to accept or decline the Nokia Messaging service, declined it, and set your mailbox without using Nokia Messaging. Yes the e-mail doesn't instantly sent to your inbox, but you can set the timing to always enabled synchronization, and set it to every 5 minutes. It will delivered flawlessly to your E72, and you'll get a full control for your inbox and everything without being 'locked' by nokia messaging. You can decide how much email you'd like exactly in your inbox, sent, etc. You can decide the period and everything. The device are fully functional and do very well job in maintaining email, but not Nokia Messaging. (Nokia Messaging Team, please take a serious action.)
This step will also fix your problem on email address from address book on E72. I don't really know what the connection between them, but it seems that it needs to connect to the internet to make this feature enabled. (it's kind of strange since the email in the address book is in the phone memory, not in the 'cloud' server). It sometimes happen if you don't have the internet connection, but once you had it, the problem solved.
I hope this will fix your problem. Let me know

Drag and dropping an address from address book to the desktop, the address file does not go where my mouse is positioned.

If I drag and drop an address from address book to the desktop, the address file does not go where my mouse is positioned. It winds up somewhere in the middle of my screen. Any way to have the address file land and stay where my mouse pointer is?

You have to assign the favicon yourself to the desktop shortcut (right-click the shortcut: Properties) after you have dragged the link to the desktop.
You can usually find the favicon in Tools >Page Info > Media and save the icon there.
Otherwise use the main domain of the website and add favicon.ico (e.g. mozilla.com/favicon.ico ) to display the favicon in a tab and save that image to a folder.

I get this error msg. "An error occurred while sending. The mail sever responded: From address is not valid [R0107001]. My email address is correct. Why?

Can't send email. Get error: "An error occurred while sending. The mail sever responded: From address is not valid [R0107001]. Please verify your email address is correct in your Mail Preference and try again."
My email ([email protected]) is correct.
After receiving the error message I try to resend. Get second error message. BUT AFTER ABOUT SIX TRYS THE MESSAGE IS SENT.
What shall I do???

problem solved. an update thunderbird message showed up, did update and now works. WOW!

Creating a drop down to add customer address from Address book in numbers 0

Hi fellow Mac people,
I have a numbers invoice created and want to be able to add my customers addresses from address book using a drop down menu or just have it retrieve the info from address book
Anyone know how to do this
Any help would be great
Thanks
Rob

You can drag an entry from the address book into a table in a Numbers document. Numbers does not have a way to do add contact information via a drop down menu. The table you drag the contact(s) into should have column headings for each item you want (name, address, phone, etc) as explained in the User's Manual.
What you could do is create a table for all of your customer contact information. Every customer would be in the table. You could use then one of the LOOKUP functions or a popup menu to chose a particular contact from the table and transfer it to where you want it (such as on an invoice or an estimate or whatever other tables you have in your document).

Mike,
Are any of your other applications going wonky, or is it just Logic?
I'm afraid I've never heard of this particular problem before, but if it were happening to me the first thing I would do is delete my "com.apple.logic.express.plist" file in Library>Preferences, then repair permissions in Disc Utility, and finally restart my computer. Then I would launch Logic and see if the problem has been corrected. It's amazing how much these two steps can accomplish.
If that doesn't resolve the issue I would launch Logic and go to Preferences>Audio Units Manager to see if all my plug-ins are properly validated.

How do I import addresses from Address Book Ver 4.1.2 to the Lion Address Book version 7.0? Mountain Lion will not allow me to open Address book Version 4.1.2

How do I import addresses from Address Book Ver 4.1.2 to the Lion Address Book version 7.0? Mountain Lion will not allow me to open Address book Version 4.1.2

Do you have any addresses in the Lion version?
If not, copy the AddressBook folder from your username/Library/Application Support/ folder on the old mac (or backup).
Copy it to the same location on your new Mac, replacing the one that is there. Start Address Book in Mountain Lion and it should convert the files to the correct format.
If you do have addresses, it is a little more complicated.
First, create a Contacts Archive (from File>Export menu). This will be your backup.
Next, export the current contacts as vCards.
Then, follow the steps above.
Then, import all the cards you exported. If you select all and double-click, it will ask if you want to add them. You'll then have to add them to whatever groups you had set up.

Why I can't change on the settings ,I cloud ,advanced l, mail and then email address there I can't change ? Help please?

You can't change that address by design, but Apple allows you to create another two addresses and use instead they call those aliases and you can create and use those different for different people with the same account. Instructions here

Transfer mail and contact from an old account to a new one ?

Hi,
The employe from the company where I got my internship are currently using mail address that are like [email protected] and the company wants them to
use the new mail address [email protected] (in both case the employee are using outlook).
The problem is that they would like to keep their old mail and contact. I know you can do a manual archive but can you import it in a new account ? Will it also
save the contact of the user ? Since it's a new account with a new domain, I really have no idea how to transfer mail and contact from the old account to the new one.
Best regards,

This step-by-step article describes how to copy or how to move your Personal Address Book (PAB) from one computer to another
computer.
On all installations, including those with no e-mail accounts, Microsoft Outlook creates a default Outlook Address Book. The Outlook
Address Book consolidates all your Outlook Contacts folders. The Outlook Address Book is a virtual address book instead of a physical address book because Outlook does not store the Outlook Address Book as a file that is separate from your data store. The
Outlook Address Book provides a view to your Contacts folders.
Unlike the Outlook Address Book, a personal address book (PAB) is a physical address book that Outlook stores on disk that is separate
from your data store. You can add one PAB to an e-mail profile, and use the PAB to store additional contact information.
You can use the PAB to store personal addresses or to store other contact information that you want to keep separate from your other
Outlook data. Additionally, you can use a PAB to share addresses with other users. The PAB uses a .pab file name extension, and Outlook creates the PAB file when you add the PAB to your e-mail profile.
How to identify the PAB file that your e-mail profile uses
Start Outlook.
On the Tools menu, click E-mail Accounts.
Under Directory, click View or change existing directories or address books, and then click Next.
Under You can choose a directory or address book below to change or remove it, click Personal Address Book, and then
click Change.
Note the path of your PAB file that is in the Path box. You will require this information to find the PAB file in step 3 in the "How to copy the PAB file to
a second computer" section of this article.
For example, C:\Exchange\Mailbox.pab indicates that a PAB named Mailbox.pab is located on a Microsoft Exchange folder on your drive C.
Click OK, and then click Finish to close all dialog boxes.
On the File menu, click Exit.
How to copy the PAB file to a second computer
Quit all e-mail programs.
Start Microsoft Windows Explorer.
In the Folders pane, expand the folders to locate the PAB file whose path you took note of in step 5 in the "How to identify the PAB File that your e-mail profile
uses" section of this article.
Copy the PAB file to a 3.5 inch disk, and then use that disk to copy the PAB file to the second computer. Note the path of the PAB file on the second computer.
For example, if you copy the PAB file named Mailbox.pab to a folder that is named Address Book on drive C, the path of the address book is as follows:
C:\Address Book\Mailbox.pab
Alternatively, if your two computers are on the same network, you can copy the PAB file from the source computer to a network share on the second computer.
For more information about how to perform this task in Microsoft Windows, see your Windows printed documentation or your online Help.
Note You can save the PAB file in any folder on the destination computer as long as you remember the location.
How to configure your second computer to use the new PAB file
If you do not have the Personal Address Book service in your e-mail profile on the second computer, you must add the service before
you can add the new PAB file to your profile. To add the Personal Address Book service for the new PAB file, follow these steps:
Start Outlook.
On the Tools menu, click E-mail Accounts.
Under Directory, click Add a new directory or address book, and then click Next.
Click Additional Address Books, and then click Next.
In the Additional Address Book Types box, click Personal Address Book, and then click Next.
In the Path box, type the path of the PAB file that you copied to the second computer in step 4 in the "How to copy the PAB file to a second computer" section
of this article. Alternatively, you can click Browse to locate the PAB file.
Click OK.
If you receive the The E-mail account you have just added will not be start until you choose Exit from the file menu, and then restart Outlook prompt, click OK.
On the File menu, click Exit, and then restart Outlook. Your new PAB is now available.
If you have the Personal Address Book service in your e-mail profile on the second computer, you can change the service to use the
new PAB file. To change an existing Personal Address Book service to use the new PAB file, follow these steps:
On the second computer, start Outlook.
On the Tools menu, click E-mail Accounts.
Under Directory, click View or change existing directories or Address Books, and then click Next.
In the Outlook processes e-mail for these accounts in the following order list, click Personal Address Book, and
then click Change.
On the Personal Address Book tab, type the path of the PAB file that you copied to the second computer in step 4 in the "How to copy the PAB file to a second
computer" section of this article. Alternatively, you can click Browse to locate the PAB file.
Click the PAB file, click OK, and then click Finish.
On the File menu, click Exit.
Quit and then restart Outlook. Your new PAB is now available.
Note There can be only one Personal Address Book service per e-mail profile. There is not a method for merging
one PAB file with another. You can use the Outlook Import and Export Wizard to merge the active PAB entries in your Contacts folder.
Additionally, you can add both recipients and distribution lists to contacts that are in the Personal Address Book interface in
Microsoft Office Outlook 2003.
For more information about the Outlook Import and Export Wizard, click Microsoft
Office Outlook Help on the Help menu,
type Outlook Import and Export Wizard in
the Search for box
in the Assistance pane, and then click Start searching to

Hello, HenryWang2103.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
The Safari, Email and Notes applications are native to the iOS and is unable to be deleted. Since this is the case, they are either in a folder on the iPhone, on another page or Restrictions are enabled. You can also search for these Apps on the iPhone by touching the screen and sliding your finger down. Here is some information regarding these features. The information about folders is located in the user guide below.
