Mail doesn't show me the e-mail address

Mail should show me the e-mail address, but it doesn't. I mean.. if I receive a mail from a my friend and Mail thinks it's a spam mail, it put it in the spam directory.
I drag and drop it in the inbox mails, but if I do that, the e-mail address and object disappear!
If I click it, I can see the preview of the mail and the email address and object appear again, but if I try to reply to the e-mail, Mail doesn't know (again) the mail address where to send the reply.. so I need to type it by myself. Is it normal?
Here a screenshot:

Oh I see... I'm sorry, iGodess, I should have looked at your screenshot first (I thought you meant something else just by reading), I'm really sorry.
Am I correct: You see the name but not the address in the mailbox viewer (the upper part).
What I see in your screenshot is normal. I'm afraid you can't change that, at least I found no way.
What you see in the mailbox viewer is the name of the sender as you would enter it in Mail.app > Preferences > Accounts > choose one account > Account Information > Full name.
If he wouldn't enter anything there, his eMail address will show in place of the (missing) full name.
Your other problem related to replying with no usable address automatically entered: I guess this doesn't happen with all your messages, correct?
Does it only happen with one friend of yours?
If so he might have defined his Reply-To header wrong, which also could be a cause his messages land in your junk folder: Mail.app thinks "this can't be legitimate".

  • Rules in e-mail doesn`t show in the blackberry

    We run Lotus Notes on Domino servers so here's the test that I made
    - I created a rule in Lotus Notes to transfer any e-mail received that my name is in the "CC" field. E-mails are moved to a folder that I named "copy CC".  It works fine
    - On the blackberry, after receiving the e-mail in Lotus Notes and after doing a replication, I do a "reconcile now" on the blackberry and go to the "Show folder" option in "Messages", I go into my folder "copy CC" and I have no e-mails.
    what could cause that I don't see it in the folder or in messages.  Remember that in "Messages" the view is the same as in "Vue" "All Documents" in Lotus Notes.
    thanks for your help

  • MAIL doesn't show attachments in SENT mail until you open the eMail!!

    I mean EUDORA may have been getting grey, but it still today has features that blow MAIL away!
    For example: When you attach a document or photo to an eMail in MAIL - then send it; then go back to your SENT eMail BOX - guess what- there is no icon in the ATTACHMENTS (paperclip icon) column indicating that there is an attachment in that eMail. BUT if you open and then close that eMail - wow- magic - the icon now appears.
    COMEONTHIS IS CRAZY - why doesn't the icon appear immediately?
    I mean this program has probably been around for 5 years now, maybe more; I only started using it a few months ago and you mean to tell me with a billion MacUsers (don't we wish- say 85 million?) out there- no one has noticed this and complained? It's like when you create a new message and you want to increase the font size with the buttons. THEY DON'T WORK unless you are replying to a message. WEIRD AND BAD - come'on apple get this working!!!!!!!!
    And yes I have posted to the apple info site as well as here - I'm just hoping that someone can tell me that if I do something then I can cure these evils...

    Thanks for the comment! Actually I have 2 POP and 1 IMAP account. (IMAP is set to keep copies of messages and attachments for online viewing).
    But 90% of the time I send using my VOO POP account. I just did a test. I attached a small photo to an eMail that I sent to my work eM address. It went out and then I opened the SENT Mailbox and although the message appears in the SENT box - the attachment ICON does not.
    Here's what I think is happening: I keep one window (viewer window) for SENT messages open all the time; and another for IN - plus often have many messages open. I stagger them so that I just click on the left to bring the INBOX to the front; click to the right to bring the SENT box to the front (or use the WINDOW menubar).
    OK so if I CLOSE the SENT viewer window, re-do the test (send a message with an attachment) then OPEN the SENT window - voilà the message AND THE ATTACHED ITEM ICON are there. So a bit strange that the MESSAGE appears in the SENT box when the SENT box viewer window is OPEN; but not the attachment icon - unless you either close and reopen the SENT box; or open the message itself. In anycase there should be some automatic refresh here--
    AND HERE's something interesting: If I have a SENT viewer window OPEN, send this POP eMail, see the message (but no attachment icon) in the SENT window, but then OPEN a 2nd viewer window guess what? THE ATTACHMENT ICON IS NOT THERE EITHER.
    The only way is to have NO SENT VIEWER WINDOW open, and after sending the eM, to then open it and then the attachment is visible. (OR if a sent viewer window is open, then double-click the message and then close it and then the icon appears). This is really bad - you think you've sent an attachment to someone, you check the SENT Viewer Window, and no, it's not showing - but in reality YOU DID SEND THE ATTACHMENT. Very bad that - and one wonders why...
    WORSE: I just did the same test sending via my IMAP (MobileMe) account from MAIL and having the sent viewer window closed and then opening it after sending doesn't work! STILL NO ATTACHMENT ICON - one must open the message just sent -- just awful to have to do that so there must be some other settings to set?!?!
    Thanks again for your eMail that prompted me to run these tests - perhaps you can try the same and let me know?

  • My sent mail does not show in the sent folder

    I can send mail but the mail doesn't show in the Sent mail folder...why is that? I am a Verizon user.

    It's fixed...I changed settings Mailbox Behavior to "on the server." Worked for my iPad mini, also.

  • Why Mail doesn't show content of emails?

    Since some days Apple Mail doesn't show always the content of an e-mail message. In the window at the right hand of the columns with folders and incoming mail and in the fullscreen mode only the headers (To, From, Subject) are visible, not the content (text, images, attachments). If there is an attachment, I can see that by clicking 'show in Quicklook'.
    The problem started a couple of days ago. And sometimes Mail shows the content after receiving an e-mail, immediately after a first view no more.
    Rebuilding the mailbox doesn't change this.
    Thanks for your suggestions to solve this problem.

    Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
    Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
    Triple-click the text on the line below to select it:
    ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
    Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is corrupt and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
    Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

  • IMac doesn't show we have e-mail accounts

    Our iMac Mail doesn't show any of our mail accounts.  It want us to set up our mail account again.  Any suggestions?

    Did you ever set it up/configure it with your ISP's server addresses, port numbers, etc? If not, you will need to do so or it won't work. If you've done a reinstall or inadvertantly tossed out a needed file, Mail might think it's never been set up or the same thing can happen if you've changed ISPs. So, before you open Mail, call your ISP and get all the relevant information you need or check their website for instructions on how to set up Mail on a Mac.

  • PDF attachment doesn't  show in opened e-mail to open it.  Adobe reader is installed on my iPad.

    PDF attachment doesn't show in opened e-mail to open it. I do have adobe installed. Any suggestions?

    You don't need any third party app at all in order to view a supported file in the mail app. It should be viewable even without Adobe Reader.
    You do see a paper clip icon to indicate that there is an attachment but you don't see the opened PDF or the PDF icon in the body of the email? Did you swipe all the way down to the bottom of the screen? Is this just happening in one email or does it happen everywhere in the mail app?
    Quit the mail app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the mail app icon. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Launch mail again and see if the PDF opens or appears. If it doesn't, close mail again and restart the iPad and then try again.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • In mail how do we stop the e-mail's showing as read when you select them without opening the full e-mail

    In mail how do we stop the e-mail's showing as read when you select them without opening the full e-mail? I want to click on a mail and read this in the preview pane only without showing it as read.

    Not possible. In order to read an email in the preview pane requires opening the message. You can mark a message that you've read as unread after reading it.

  • Why does the content of my emails not show on the main Mail page but does in the Inbox list of all emails?

    Why does the content of my emails not show on the main Mail page but does in the Inbox list of all emails?

    Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe!

  • I have multiple devices that have my iCloud E-mail, I want to disable the E-Mail on some of the devices but keep it on others, I do not have physical access to the ones I want to disable but I do have access to the devices I want to keep receiving mc

    I have multiple devices that have my iCloud E-mail, I want to disable the E-Mail on some of the devices but keep it on others, I do not have physical access to the ones I want to disable but I do have access to the devices I want to keep receiving mail, can I do this with a simple password reset or will that still leave all devices enabled?

    The simple way would be to uncheck 'Mail' in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud, but as you would need access to the devices in question to do that you will have to change your password, at http://appleid.apple.com. You will then need to sign out and back on all the devices you want to be able to receive mail, and it's important that you follow this procedure and note the warning:
    Firstly, if you have 'Find My iPhone/iPad/iMac' enabled on any of your devices, turn it off.
    Go to http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Manage your Apple ID'. Sign in with the current ID.
    Where it says 'Password & Security' and gives your current ID email address, click 'edit'.
    Enter your new password and click 'Save changes'.
    Now you will need to go to each of your devices and sign out in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud - 'Sign out' on a Mac, 'Delete this account' on an iOS device (this will not delete the account from the server).
    Then sign back in with your new ID. Your iCloud data will disappear from your devices when you sign out, but reappear when you sign back in.
    I re-iterate: before you start, turn off 'Find My Mac' (or whatever) or you will need the services of Support.
    The devices on which you have not changed the password will throw up continual error messages as they attempt to contact iCloud and fail.

  • How can i use Mail on 2 macs with the same mail address?

    Hi,
    I have two Macs, connected through WLAN. From each Mac I can use Mail (sending and receiving) with the same mail address. This worked well; on each Mac I have separate files storing the mails (input, sent, trash, …).
    Some days ago I had to change the provider. (Perhaps this may be the reason for my problem?) Now both mail systems are connected - in the way that if I put on Mac *1 a mail into the trash it is automatically thrown into the trash on Mac *2.
    What is to be done to separate the two systems (i. e. make them independent of each other)?
    Hans

    It looks like you are using a IMAP mail account, a protocol used by most email providers nowadays. Read -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Message_Access_Protocol
    The main feature of IMAP is the sync of all the changes you do on your mail account. If you want to keep your mails on one Mac, have a look at this site -> http://kb.mit.edu/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=3908294

    Not compatible.
