Mail:Automatically complete addresses: Incorrect name keeps coming up....

I realize that Mai+ uses the "previous" recipients list and the address book (and LDAP, if configured), but shouldn't it "learn" and suggest the moat used. How can I make Mail suggest the most used and correct name/email (mine!)?
I have removed all the emails from the "previous" recipients list and emailed myself several times, only to continue to have the incorrect names/emails pop up. Any ideas?
Mail version: Version 3.5 (930.3)
Mac version: 10,5,6

Thank you.....to be more precise....the id and password assigned to itunes is correct and works..but....when I hit 'update all' and get the small inset screen to sign iin....it is asking for a password to a different email address. I need it to use the icloud address I always use to puchase from itunes. I don\t know where it found this new email address?

Tiger Mail to Leopard Mail - Auto Complete Addresses?

Hi there,
I've recently backed up my friend's complete Home folder from Tiger, along with all other Tiger assets required to hopefully make a smooth migration to Leopard.
NERD SCENARIO:
Apple Mail: My friend relied heavily on "Automatically complete addresses" in Apple Mail, otherwise known as Automatic Addressing, aka: auto complete TO: email addresses when typing a name. Unfortunately, when migrating to Leopard, he has now lost auto addressing after I migrated his old email (Inbox, Sent, Deleted, etc.) He's savvy, but not savvy enough to know to add his recipients to his Apple Address Book -- therefore Leopard Mail is only auto completing recent mail within this past week. I'm now trying to inform him to begin adding people to his Address Book so this doesn't happen again -- but it might be too late? He used to rely heavily on Auto Addressing to remember email addresses prior.
TRANSLATION:
1. How can I pull date or history from my backed up Mail folder from Tiger to import back into Leopard so "Auto Addressing" will remember email addresses prior?
2. Did I not backup his mail correctly? I burned an almost exact mirror of his hard drive to a DVD.
3. Has he lost his ability to auto address old email addresses? Since he didn't add them to his Address Book?
Thanks for any help!

I just did the same thing, transferring all my data from Tiger to a new Leopard MacBook Pro, and now I can't access ANY of my addresses from my old address book, even tho I can see all the data sitting in Library... How the heck do I get the hundreds of addresses into my new address book? And, why won't my new Mail pick up all the Auto-Complete addresses from the old program if I transferred everything over?

Automatically completing address

I bought an iPhone last week and synched it with my iMac. Previously, as I typed a few letters in the "To" field of Apple's Mail software, all the alternatives would appear for me to choose and I could keep typing until only one was left. Now, that function is dead. I have to select from the Address list. I went to Mail > Preferences > Composing and made sure the "Automatically complete address" field was checked. It is. Beside it is "Configure LDAP" This I don't understand. I get a blank screen. Surely I don't have to add everyone in there one by one.
Help, anyone?

he problem resolved itself.

Hello,
Use a Browser to log into your WebMail & remove it from the Server there.

Mail very slow to automatically complete addresses

after typing in a few characters in any recipient field in mail I get the spinning beach ball for up to 20 seconds while mail tries to automatically complete the address, is there anyway to reduce the lag time without turning this feature off. I don't have any ldap setting configured.
thanks

The Mail.app saves all message recipients in the list of Previous Recipients in Mail and this list can grow over time especially if your sent a larger number of messages.
The address autofill feature pulls from the Address Book and the list of Previous Recipients in Mail.
At the Mail.app menu bar, go to Window and select Previous Recipients.
A previous recipient already entered in the Address Book will have a vCard icon to the left of the name or email address.
You can remove a previous recipient from the list or add a previous recipient to the Address Book that is not already entered.
It is a good idea to purge the list of Previous Recipients not entered or that you want or need to be entered in the Address Book from time to time.

"Automatically Complete Address" won't find Companies

I'm helping a friend who's using OS X Mail (1.3.11 (v622/624)) under OS X 10.3.9. She had a hard drive malfunction a few weeks ago and had to rebuild her address book. She claims that before the incident, mail would auto-complete addresses by both name and company. I can't get it to auto-complete by company any more. Is there a trick or is this not possible (i.e. she is mistaken about past functionality)?
For example, if I have a contact in Address Book with first/last of John Doe and Company ABC Co., I can get Mail to auto-complete if I type "Jo..." or "Do.." but if I type "AB.." I get nothing. I have tried with and without the "This is a company" flag checked.
Any advice?

Hi,
I have tried what you have been trying, and only get it to work from the Address Fields "Work' or "Home". This is in Mail 1.3.11, same as you. If I get an e-mail from a Company and click the add button for Address Book, it puts it in the "Work" Field... being a new entry. However, if the e-mail address has the name of the company/person in front of it to look like this: ABC<[email protected]> you should be able to get it either way. Since you are looking for "e-mail addresses", it seems the Compose window only scans the [email protected] type of entries... with the "@". Mine also, if I put a letter in the address box, it puts in the first one it sees (or the last one I used), but if I wait a second all with that letter come up, then it is just to pick the one you want. I have a company name starting with D, if I put D in the address line, all that show is e-mail addresses starting with D, not the company.
The magic is the little @ symbol.
Enjoy

I need help,i changed my primary email,now when i want to buy itunes,the old email name keeps coming up,how do i get the old primary email off of my phone

i changed my primary email,and now when i go to buy itune songs,my old email keeps coming up,how do i get my old email off of the phone

The only thing I did was I went to the Apple.com , logged in and changed my primary e-mail since I will be losing the old email soon ( I have a different job). I said update info and verified the email was correct. I just went to settings on icloud and logged out and tried to log in and now it won't take anything. I don't even know now which e-mail they want the primary one or recovery, it won't take any of the 3. Not sure what else to try at this point, I guess I can't buy any more music.

I cannot get emails through hot mail, every time I try it keeps coming up cannot connect to the server.

I cannot get emails through hot mail, on my ipad 4, every time I try it keeps coming up cannot connect to the server. Every thing looks correct

The Hotmail server is down; try again later.

I can't sign into I tunes since I changed my email address as it keeps coming up with the old address when trying to sign in

Every time I need to sign in my old email ( which is now non existent ) keeps coming up .. I have changed all my main details and updated everything ?? Why is this happening ..;

You changed the ID in Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID? Tapped your old ID and signed out then signed in with the new ID?
If you created a new ID - that could be the problem. There is a difference between changing the ID (for instance if you got a new email provider) and creating a whole new ID. Purchases are always tied to the ID used to make the purchase. You can't transfer purchases to a new ID.

Mail slow to automatically complete addresses- solution

After much trial and error and trying several suggestions from some of the archives in this list I believe I have come across another possible solution to the spinning beachball when trying at add an address to an email.
The issues stems from having changed an email account setup.- just changing settings instead of creating a new accont
If the name of the folder in your library mail folder ie ( [email protected]) doesn't math your actual email account settings ie [email protected] then this seems to cause some problems.
Solution- move all the email from your inbox and sent boxes to an "archive folder" Then delete the email account in question, quit and restart Mail and then recreate the account. This will force a new folder with the correct settings to be reated in your library mail folder.
Anyways this made a HUGE speed differnce for me with relation to adding address ( via autocomplete) to an email.

An obsolete email address for me keeps coming up when I select a "contact us" address in Firefox. How do I get it to default to my new email address?

When I am looking at a website and go to the "contact us" tab, the blank email that comes up always has an obsolete email address for me (which is in Thunderbird). I have been unable to delete it. How can I fix this so the blank email that comes up defaults to my new email address?

My iphone4 had a previous owner, how do I get my apple i.d. to show up? I've been trying to download apps, but the former owners name keeps coming up.

While trying to download free apps, the former owners' apple i.d keeps showing up. I've followed the instructions to create my own apple i.d.-it's in the phone, but it seems that it's not recognized when trying to download. Do I need to clean out everything from the phone and start from scratch?? Thanks...

Yes, you'll need to set up an iTunes library and account, then restore the iPhone from that library. That will erase the iPhone and associate it with your account exclusively.
