Mail: Display Name in "To:" Field

Hi,
In the mail app To: field a display name is associated with an email address. For a particular email address I want to remove this association.
(apols this is difficult to explain).
I am a member of an email group called TriLondon (at) yahoogroups (dot) co (dot) uk. A while back I wanted to be able to send automated reminders to this group via iCal. As I remember at the time I added this email as part of my profile in address book. When I recieve a message from this group the from field displays "Steven Lord" (ie my name) and when I send to it the to field displays "Steven Lord".
This is now very confusing and I no longer want this associated. I have removed that email address from my profile in address book but still if I recieve an email or send an email to TriLondon (at) yahoogroups (dot) co (dot) uk it shows as Steven Lord in the to / from field.
HELP !! I'm pulling my hair out trying to fix this.
<Edited by Moderator>

I don't have to log in to send to this group.
Before any of this happened I could send an email to that group from Mail app on my mac. In order to be able to automatically send reminders to that group via iCal (I no longer need to be able to do this) I added an address to my profile in Address App. So I added the email address under my card in Address App.
That resulted in any mail being received from the above group being labelled as coming from me.. ie Steven Lord. It's annoying and I've finally decided to try and sort it out.
So...
In Address App I've removed the email address trilondon 'at' etc... from my card in there. However, within Mail app any email coming from that email address is still labelled as Steven Lord.

Display Name in From field

We just upgraded from Messenger server 5.x to 6.2.
On 5.x email messages that were sent by the Messenger Server were received and viewed with the displayName in the From field of the message.
This is no longer the case with 6.2
We would like to restore this functionality. I'm hoping there is a setting that we set somewhere.
Examples:
From field from a 5.x message would appear as : Bob Walker<[email protected]>
From field from a 6.2 message appears as: [email protected]
Thanks, Bob.

./configutil -o service.http.fullfromheader -v yes
./stop-msg http;./start-msg httpRegards,

Mail not displaying names in "From" field correctly

In my address book, I have people's names and their E-Mail addresses. It automatically completes the field when I send it; however, when I receive E-Mails from my contacts, it doesn't fill their name in. For instance, sometimes it just lists their E-Mail address, even though it is in my Address Book. Sometimes it gives the name they entered on their E-Mail server, not as the name I gave them.
Is there any way to rectify this problem?

Does that mean that I am going to have to tell ALL of my friends here in Japan to mess around with the way there phone stores/sends their addresses? OR will I be forced to get Docomo, AU and all of the mobile carriers in Japan to change their system???
There has to be a better answer...
If anyone in Japan has sorted this out, please let me know.

Yosemite Mail - wrong name in "To" field

Just upgraded to Yosemite on my iMac & Mail had a headache. I have access to 3 mail accounts - 2 are gmail and the other is from my own web address. To explain my problem, I'll call these accounts G1, G2 & Web. Under Mail>Preferences>Accounts, the accounts are listed in the sequence of G1, G2 then Web. When I look at the mail overview page from any of these 3 accounts, the "To" field replaces the account name with the Web short name. However, in the mail itself, the G1, G2 or Web names are shown correctly. The "To" field was correctly shown before I upgraded but the upgrade has affected all the existing mails as well as all the Junk, Trash, etc mailboxes. I have no idea where to start. Has anyone any ideas. Thanks.

I've sorted it. Having looked at a similar issue that someone had with iCloud, I checked Contacts and, sure enough, it had become corrupted. The Web name (see above) had my other account names dragged in. Once I deleted these inclusions, the Mail "To" fields got the correct name.

Incoming Mail display name

In Mail (v. 7.1), I sometimes get mail addressed to me as "My Husband" and sometimes as my actual ID as it appears in my address book. How can I stop it from showing as "My Husband"?

I don't understand why you'd want to do that, since everyone has a first and last name. Nonetheless, it can be done, but you won't like what you have to do. You have one option:
Quit Address Book and go to Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook and Get Info on the AddressBook.data file and check the box that says "Locked". Now no changes can be made to Address Book: you can't Add, Edit, or Delete any cards unless you first unlock the file, make the changes you like, and then lock the file again.

From: field (Display Name) incorrect

Hi, we have a number of N97's and E series phones that we have hooked up to our mail system which uses Zimbra mobile (mimics Activesync).
My problem is that when a user sends a mail, the display name is incorrect (it shows company name instead) though the email address is correct. e.g. companyname ([email protected])
If I create a mail on the device and lookup the message info I can see that before the message has left the device it has the company name as the display name => I am 90% certain this is an MfE issue. Also we don't have this problem with iPhones.I cannot see a field in MfE to set the display name manually.
Any ideas as I can't see any other people with this problem. Also multiple versions of MfE in use.

Thanks.
The affected names are there - but shown in caps initial, followed by l/case letters. I've removed them anyway to see what happens.
Is there a Mail cache file that I can delete?

How to fetch the data & display the data if fields got the same name in alv

hi frnds, i need ur help.
how to fetch the data & display the data if fields got the same name in alv grid format.
thanks in advance,

Refer the url :
http://abapexpert.blogspot.com/2007/07/sap-list-viewer-alv.html
Go thru the guide for OOPs based ALV.
Use SET_TABLE_FOR_FIRST_DISPLAY to display the table:
CALL METHOD grid->set_table_for_first_display
EXPORTING
I_STRUCTURE_NAME = 'SFLIGHT' Structure data
CHANGING
IT_OUTTAB = gt_sflight. Output table
You can also implement
Full Screen ALV, its quite easy. Just pass the output table to FM REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY.
For controlling and implementing the FS-ALV we have to concentrate on few of the components as follows :
1. Selection of data.
2. Prepare Layout of display list.
3. Event handling.
4. Export all the prepared data to REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY.

You need a separate email address but you've already ruled out that solution.

How to chage the display name in SC browser for the custome fields?

Hi,
I created 2 custom fields for Shopping cart in SRM. How to chage the display name in SC browser for this custome fields?
Thanks
Kevin

Hi Kevin,
when you have defined your customer fields, you have created new fields in the CUF structures. The labels displayed on the SC screen come from the data element you have assigned to those cust fields in the include structure.
If you have used a std data element, then you can change its translation (attention, this will impact all structures, tables... abap objects using this data element).
If you have created a Z data element, then adapt its description accordingly.

User name not displaying correctly in history fields in Sharepoint on Office365

The issue is for this one user on any form with history instead of the display name it shows his SharePoint user ID. Everywhere else for that user it shows correctly. For all other users they show correctly in the history as displayname
date/time comment. I know that somehow a field on his user got changed and we need to know what field it is under that user's account so either we can manually change it back or the correct procedure to correct this issue.
I can recreate it by simply creating a new list and select multiple lines of text and select append text to yes
Then in InfoPath select that list item and drag it on the page along with a submit button that writes the data and closes the webpage.
Then open a new item on that list with any other user it creates that item and shows their name time/date and the comment that they made. With the user that is having an issue it shows his user ID time/date and the comment.

Got it.

Why does the display name in older messages change if I update my address book for that E-mail address?

I have recently installed Thunderbird 24.5.0 after upgrading a WinXP machine to Win7. I have discovered a strange problem with older mail that was imported from Outlook Express 6.
The pastor of my church uses a generic E-mail address <[email protected]>. This address belongs to the position, not to an individual. We recently had a new pastor come to the church, and I updated my entry for this E-mail address to reflect the new person's name. This is fine for new mail sent since the new person arrived, but Thunderbird has also applied the new name to older mail from the previous pastor. This is very confusing, since the current pastor could not have sent mail from that address prior to her start date.
How can I get Thunderbird to stop changing the Display Name in archival messages that were sent by the previous pastor prior to September 01, 2013? I have not encountered this situation before using Netscape 4.x Mail, Outlook Express 6, and Windows Mail (Vista version).

Of course it does. It looks for a match between the sender's email address and a Contact in your address book. You've edited the Display Name for this account so it gets applied to any message with that email address if that's how your Address Book is configured.
In the Contact card for this address, you can tell it whether or not to use the "real" email address within the message, or the Display Name from your Address Book. Telling it to use the name found in the message ''might'' resolve this, but it depends on how the sender has formatted it. If he includes his name then Thunderbird should be able to resolve it, and you just add both configurations to your Address Book as two separate Contacts, rather than modifying the existing entry.
However, in this situation you're using the same email address for two distinct people, so Thunderbird may not be able to know who sent the old messages. If both have sent using "rector@stpeterscobourg.org" without any personalization then Thunderbird won't be able to differentiate between them.
I have to say that I haven't recently tried using different display names with the same email address, so I don't know for sure if TB can use the display name constructively. If there's nothing in the old messages to tell you which sender wrote them, then TB can't do anything about it.

Mac Mail Wrong Display Name

My Mac mail app for my icloud account has the wrong display name for the account. About three years ago, I bought my mac on the company credit card, and had to use our accounting director's name for the billing address. (We'll call him Richard Nicks). Three years later, I open Mac mail and HIS name is the display name for my icloud email!
Of course it's grayed out, so I have to change it in the icloud account. But when I go log into icloud, his name does not show up anywhere. I've confirmed the email addresses are all the same so I know I don't have multiple accounts or anything. I've closed mail, resynchronized it, rebuilt the database, no joy. Where in the world is it getting his name from and how can I change that?
Thanks
OS X 10.9.5

Thanks for the response.
In Account Preferences, the name and email address are grayed out so I cannot change those.
I looked in my contacts, go under All iCloud, and there's only one contact. The picture is of a piano that says Me, so I assume that is my Me card. This has my correct name.
Interesting to note, when I send an email from iCloud on my iPhone, it comes across with the correct display name.
I'm at a loss on where else to check. Thanks for the help!

Standard field display name

In which table are stored the SBO field original display names?
ex: OCRD.CardFName -> Foreign Name
OITM.FirmCode -> Manufacturer
I look for the "Foreign Name" or "Manufacturer".
Thank you,
Attila Sarkady

Its not easy to modify or read LRF file (its a long time fight between developers and SAP), but there exists one workarounf for your problem.
In SBO is query generator where when you wrote table name, you get in one matrix all fields and description of these fields. This matrix you may export to csv file, or if you need all tables, create small addon which will change the table name in itemUID = 4 and with sendkeys send tab key. After this the matrix is populated with datas you need, work with matrix and loop go through all tables (from sysview). In this way youll get fieldname and fielddescription too in few easy steps.
Creating tables to R3 in same data structure as in SBO you may do as you suggested from system views on tables, fields a type structure or in management studio as scrip to Create...
hope it helps
