Mail auto-completion doesn't work

In Mail prior to Mountain Lion, I just had to start typing an email address and the app would suggest addresses either from my address book, or from the history of people I wrote to or who wrote to me. If I copied and address and pasted it in a new mail, it would appear in blue if that person ever wrote to me (or I wrote to them), very useful to know if you're writing to someone for the first time - especially when you run a small business from home.
That's gone in ML, if I start typing an address, the only suggestions are taken from my address book. Is it a "new feature" or a bug?

The feature isn't gone, it's just likely that your history from which Mail pulled from was reset with the upgrade.  I did a clean install but I do know that once I send an email to someone and then I start to enter their name again in Mail it automatically fills it out in blue like you are talking about.

  • "Auto completion" doesn't work in the new ABAP editor

    Hi Gurus,
    It is quite strange that the "auto completion" doesn't work for me in my new laptop. After I press "ENTER", it starts a new line.
    Any body know this?
    Thanks a lot.

    Hello,
    Use "Tab" instead of "ENTER"

  • Auto Completion Doesn't Work in Eclipse 3.1

    Hello
    I am working with Eclipse 3.1 in Linux Envirnment.
    I had update my plugin for FreeMaker and Beanshell.
    I had imported my desired classes, still class names are not coming automatically.
    I am unable to write program on Eclipse.

    Thanking you,

    This has nothing to do with JSP, also nothing with "auto completion doesn't work".
    You need to add the classes to the 'build path' of the project, then you can import them in your code.

  • Adding a timeout to Auto Complete doesn't work for IE

    We implemented our own declarative auto complete component. So we're manually handling KeyUp and KeyDown.
    One thing that we need to do is to add a timeout so that when the user is typing, we don't fire the bean code to do the query on every key pressed, but only do it after say half a second. That way if the user is intending to type 3 keys, we only need to fire our query once, where realHandleKeyUpOnSuggestField is the function that calls the query among other things.
    This is called from our ClientListener
    function handleKeyUpOnSuggestField(evt) {
        var realHandleKeyUpOnSuggestField = function () {
            // start the popup aligned to the component that launched it
            var inputField = evt.getSource();
            var suggestPopup = inputField.findComponent("suggestPopup");
            //   var suggestTable = inputField.findComponent("suggestTable");
            //don't open when user "tabs" into field
            var valueStr = inputField.getSubmittedValue();
            // Special characters coming from scanner. Don't popup if that's the case.
            if (suggestPopup.isShowing() == false && evt.getKeyCode() != AdfKeyStroke.TAB_KEY) {
                //hints = {align:AdfRichPopup.ALIGN_AFTER_START, alignId:evt.getSource().getClientId()+"::content"};
                var alignTo = inputField.getClientId() + "::content";
                var hints = {
                    align : AdfRichPopup.ALIGN_AFTER_START, alignId : alignTo
                suggestPopup.show(hints);
                //disable popup hide to avoid popup to flicker on
                //key press
                suggestPopup.hide = function () {
            //suppress server access for the following keys
            //for better performance
            if (evt.getKeyCode() == AdfKeyStroke.ARROWLEFT_KEY || evt.getKeyCode() == AdfKeyStroke.ARROWRIGHT_KEY || evt.getKeyCode() == AdfKeyStroke.ARROWLEFT_KEY || evt.getKeyCode() == AdfKeyStroke.SHIFT_MASK || evt.getKeyCode() == AdfKeyStroke.END_KEY || evt.getKeyCode() == AdfKeyStroke.ALT_KEY || evt.getKeyCode() == AdfKeyStroke.HOME_KEY) {
                return false;
            if (evt.getKeyCode() == AdfKeyStroke.ESC_KEY) {
                hidePopup(evt);
                return false;
                // query suggest list on the server
                AdfCustomEvent.queue(suggestPopup, "suggestServerListener",
                // Send single parameter
                    filterString : valueStr
    true);
        var inputField = evt.getSource();
        if (window["timer" + inputField.getClientId()]) {
            window.clearTimeout(window["timer" + inputField.getClientId()]);
        window["timer" + inputField.getClientId()] = window.setTimeout(realHandleKeyUpOnSuggestField, 500);
    }This works fine in FireFox and Safari and Chrome, but not in IE.

    When I debugged through, it seems like the event's getKeyCode() doesn't exist. I'm assuming it's something to do with scope for IE working different than FireFox.
    I realize this is more JavaScript question, but I'm wondering if anyone got something like that to work on ADF. As far as I know, there's no other way besides using JavaScript and IE doesn't seem handle scoping very well. I can't use a global parameter because I'm using this in a component and you can have multiple components in a page.

  • My Norton Internet Security, Passwrd and user name auto complete doesn't work in Firefox 4

    Since updating to Firefox 4 my user name and password auto complete form Norton Internet security doesn't work.

    Symantec need to update their Firefox add-ons so that they are compatible with Firefox 4. They have indicated that for Norton 360 they plan to release an update to Norton 360 to support Firefox 4 in early May - http://us.norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20100720113635EN&ln=en_US
    I do not know about the time scale for updates for other Norton products. Pending the update by Symantec, if you want to use the Norton add-ons you will need to downgrade to Firefox 3.6.
    To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
    You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
    To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
    For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

  • After downloading Firefox, my e-mail spell check doesn't work

    for years I had used IE. I recently installed Firefox and now my e-mail spell check doesn't work. The dictionary is loaded but cannot figure out how to resolve this. It still works when using IE, so am assuming it's a Firefox glitch.

    Do you have a dictionary installed and selected?
    * You can see which dictionary is selected if you right-click in a text area and open the Languages submenu.
    * Open the "Add Dictionaries" link to install a dictionary if you do not have one.
    * Make sure that [X] "Check Spelling" in the right-click context menu is check-marked.
    You can enable or disable spell checking globally:
    * Tools > Options > Advanced : General: Browsing: "Check my spelling as I type"
    You can look here for dictionaries:

  • Challenges with Apple Mail auto-complete

    Hi all,
    I'm seeking advice regarding some challenges with Apple Mail auto-complete email addresses for a friend's AOL mail IMAP account. Main issue: in Apple Mail, recently contacted email addresses are not appearing via auto-complete. As such, I'm doing some research for him and have some questions:
    - Any resources on how email contacts are managed in Apple Mail?
    - Any resources on how email contacts are managed in Apple Contacts? What's the difference? I'm not 100% clear how they are linked.
    - Seeking alternative to Apple Mail for someone who is legally blind. Are there some alternatives with a simpler interface and possibly better integration with VoiceOver? Just curious
    Any help is appreciated.

    1)  Reindex Mail
    Go to your User's Library folder. (if you don't know how to find, see this link.)
    http://www.needhelp4mac.com/2013/11/how-to-enable-users-library-folder/
    Scroll to Mail folder.
    Select the V2 > MailData folder.
    Delete any files in MailData with envelope in the name. (should be 3)
    When you open Mail it will re-index your files.
    2)  Search is based off Spotlight cache files.
    HOW TO RE-INDEX YOUR SPOTLIGHT CACHE FILES
    From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
    *  Click Spotlight.
    *  Click the Privacy tab.
    *  Drag your drive to the list. Wait a couple of minutes.
    *  Remove the item you added.
    *  Spotlight will re-index the contents of the item you initially dragged to the list.
    Contacts in Mail
    Under Window in the Menu bar, select Previous Recipients List. If the person is in your Contacts, there will be an icon next to the email address. You can add entries to contacts or remove from the list. For example your friend got a new email address but autofil wants to use an old email address. Remove the old entry.
    While Mail and Contacts are two separate applications they are tightly integrated.
    I'm sorry but I have no other suggestions for a better email client.
    Download and run the Mountain Lion combo to refresh your system files.

    I know.  Same issue here.  When I'm not recording but have the video camera on, the autofocus works fine.  As soon as I tap the record button and recording starts, the focus is locked until I tap on the screen to focus.  I haven't used the camera all that much because of this problem.

  • How can I get back Mail Auto-Complete email addresses?

    After upgrading to Mountain Lion, my Mail no longer works with the auto-complete of email address.
    My Contacts.app works fine, it just seems that Mail is no longer able to 'read' from my Contacts.
    I use iCloud and everything was great for years.  Mail preferences is set to Auto-Complete email address from my Contacts.
    Not sure how the problem started, but I launched Mail on a 2nd computer  - on the same iCloud.
    Shortly after I did that, my 1st Mac no longer auto-completes email.  I'm unsure if that is what set off the problem.
    Also, I 'did' read Tom Nelson's article which did not work since it's not an 'alias' problem:
    http://macs.about.com/od/MacTroubleshootingTips/qt/What-To-Do-When-Mountain-Lion -Mail-Fails-To-Auto-Complete-Email-Addresses.htm
    Also, there doesn't appear to be a com.apple.mail.plist preferences file I can even delete in Mountain Lion.
    I use Dropbox, but have never it to sync Addresses, Calendar, etc.
    Any help greatly appreciated! 
    -Mark

    I had the same issue. After reading this solution I started poking around in the Container folder and found that there was a symlink for AddressBook that was messed up which was causing the problem. In ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Application Support I ran:
    $ cd ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Application\ Support
    $ ls -lh
    AddressBook -> ??/???7??ʪ?????VT???;??\G[?:??:??????T?_Ү??
    CrashReporter
    Mail
    SyncServices -> ../../../../../Application Support/SyncServices
    iCloud -> ../../../../../Application Support/iCloud
    Seeing the aliases for SyncServices and iCloud, I guessed correctly that I just needed to recreate the AddressBook alias to point to the right place. So I just removed the alias for AddressBook, recreated it, restarted Mail, and it worked perfectly. (Note: I did the following to remove the alias, and recreate it. You should confirm what you are removing is an alias. You should also always make sure you have a backup.)
    $ cd ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Application\ Support
    $ rm AddressBook
    $ ln -s ../../../../../Application\ Support/AddressBook AddressBook
    Obviously, DrewSchatt's  original solution to this works as well, but this way you don't have to delete the whole folder, resetting your preferences and possibly delete something else important (only recreating the alias, not deleting any files or data).

  • [Virtual user mail system] guide doesn't work.

    I'm new to setting up a mail server so I consulted with this article [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Vi … ail_system]. However this guide doesn't work. I cannot either send or receive mail. I looked into logs and apparently the contents of virtual_alias_maps.cf / virtual_mailbox_domains.cf / virtual_mailbox_maps.cf are not correct. The database postfixadmin created doesn't even have those tables or columns. And I kept getting "Access Denied: postfix_user@localhost (Password:Yes)" something like that. And I'm sure I entered the correct username/password combination. A long time ago I used to follow [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php?ti … tfix_Admin] guide for setting up mail server however its content is outdated now. Is there any reliable newbie-friendly mail server guide for archlinux, or any recommendation on how to fix the problem in aboved article? Thanks.

    Don't limit yourself to the Arch wiki - it's useful, but it's not the only resource available to you, and as you have discovered, it is not always current and/or correct.
    All the components you are working with come with their own documentation, that should be your first reference point. Beyond that, look for Postfix tutorials in general i.e. not just for Arch, again bearing in mind that they also may not be current/correct.
    When you have found what you need and completed your setup, you then have the option of Doing The Right Thing by updating/correcting the relevant wiki pages, followed very shortly after by the warm glow known only to those who contribute.
