Mail duplicating outbound gmails and adding uneccessary tags

My gmail address is [email protected], which is annoying as I originally set this up in the uk where there is a trademark dispute, so I have the 'return to' address set to [email protected], which works fine.
I tried to send mail from Mail (in OSX) using this gmail account and the following happened.
- one mail was sent as [email protected]
- one mail was sent as [email protected]
When I checked the mail in gmail, I also noticed that it had added extra gmail tags, which I had not asked it to do, and they also didn't conform with either the standard gmail 'built in' tags, nor did they match any of my custom tags.
Why is it sending extra mails?
Why is it tagging stuff?
Also
Why does all my mail viewing in mail appear to have my 'login picture' top right, I never asked it to do this, and I hope it is not sending this out with the mails, if not then what's the point of it?

You are probably using gmail's SMTP server and asking mail to move sent mail to the Sent folder.
Turn off the option to keep sent mail in the sent folder in Mail. When you use gmail's smtp server (or IMAP) the mail will be in your sent folder automatically.
Your photo in Mail only shows up for you, unless the recipient is also using Mail and has your pictures in his/her address book.

  • How can I use apple mail (linked to gmail) and get it to only do autofill on the contacts that I have in apple address book?

    How can I use apple mail (linked to gmail) and get it to only do autofill on the contacts that I have in apple address book? Everytime I write an email on the Apple mail app (as well as in Gmail) it recommends a bunch of emails that are not my contacts. I want it to just autofill for the contacts that I have in my address book. Is this possible? Thank you. I have an Imac Intel version and an Iphone 5 phone.

    With Yahoo Mail, and anotare account (Inacap Mail), I can only receive mails but I can't send emails. I don't know if this is a problem of the iPad or it is a problem with yahoo mail, because using Gmail and the email of my job I don' have this problem.

    Google them to confirm the settings that you need for the outgoing server, then check the setting you entered on the pad.  Pay real close attention to the outgoing server name, and port.  You may need to change in on the pad. 

  • We use the Apple mail server to get e-mails from our gmail and comcast mail accounts. Recently we have been getting spam that claims to be sent to a gmail address, but when I check that address directly, there is no such e-mail. ???

    We use the Apple mail server to get e-mails from our gmail and comcast mail accounts. Recently we have been getting spam that claims to be sent to a gmail address, but when I check that address directly, there is no such e-mail, either in the inbox or in the spam folder. Is it possible to bypass the gmail account and send directly to the Apple mail server, spoofing the gmail address?

    Maybe some info here for you about spoofing. (and much additional info)

    Google has a support notice that may explain the problem here: http://support.google.com/mail/answer/82350?hl=en
    Apple has a built-in method for setting up Gmail accounts that makes sure that they are set up properly.
    Go to System Preferences under the Apple menu and select Mail, Contacts & Calendars. In the left-hand sidebar select the Add Account… item. In the main window select Gmail. Enter the information in the drop down sheet.
    As for Pacbell I don't know what the proper settings are and could only find these from a third party so proceed with caution. http://www.emailserversettings.com/category/pacbell

  • Show Sent Messages in Mail thread (using gmail and imap)

    I'm trying to get my email set up so that I can use gmail imap and also have it show my sent emails within each thread. I can see it within "all mail" but not within my "inbox." Also, ever since I started screwing around with the settings my inbox now takes forever to upload mail or to register that I have read it on my laptop and when I send something from my iphone it shows up on my browser's gmail as "sent mail" which it never used to do. I'm just frustrated and would love for someone to tell me their settings if they're getting the thread view to work well and for a quick refresh! Thanks so much!!!!

    I have a similar problem where the threaded messages feature does not work for me unless I reply from my iPhone. If I login to gmail from my computer and reply from the web browser the message will not be in the thread.
    I just want my emails to be threaded just like they are in GMail in my web browser.

  • Mail 3.2, Gmail and iPhone POP and IMAP Problems

    This is a Mail problem but I am pretty sure it has something to do with the iphone as well....
    Here's the deal:
    Up until a week ago I used this setup:
    1. My gmail account has had pop and imap enabled for all mail and it kept the email on the server
    2. My mail client on my MBP C2duo on Leopard 10.5.2 was setup to retrieve email from gmail using pop
    3. My 1.1.1 iPhone was setup to retrieve email from gmail using pop as well
    4. Gmail account was being also synchronised between MBP and iphone through the appropriate tab in itunes.
    RESULT: mail would pop to both clients as new mail and I would have to mark it as read in each client. I like that cause there are certain messages I read on my MBP and some others on my iphone.
    About a week ago I upgraded my iphone to 1.1.3 and that's when the problems started:
    a) It appears that the iphone is now setup to gmail's IMAP by default. So I delete the account and create one manually to work as pop
    1. So now I have an iphone setup to retrieve with pop.
    2. My MAil client on the MBP is still set to pop
    3. Gmail settings remain untouched
    PROBLEM: Everything is setup as pop but acts as IMAP ?!!?!
    Whichever client gets an email message first that message will not appear on the other client.
    Basically if my iphone catches an emai while my MBP is asleep i'll never get it in my inbox on the MBP and vice versa
    Please help me out... It's the first time an Apple product makes me feel like a good ol windows user again
    FAILED SOLUTIONS:
    1. I tried deleting the iphone account and creating it from scratch making sure it's setup correctly
    2. I tried disabling IMAP from gmail's settings
    3. I tried disabling and re-enabling pop from gmail's settings
    4. I tried using gmail's recent mode that forces a download of all recent (30 days) mail
    5. I have repaired permissions, rebooted etc etc
    Nothing changed
    I have now deleted the gmail account from the MBP, re-created it and await while it re-downloads al 6000 messages before I try re-creating the account on the iphone but sth tells me it wont change anything.
    Sorry for the extreme length of this post. Any help would be appreciated

    But I'm not using IMAP. I never used IMAP and I do not want to use IMAP. The reason being that I know all about the problems you speak of.
    I just can't get POP working as it did before the 1.1.3 update. It's really frustrating

  • Changed mail account on gmail and can't get my mail account activated anymore on my bb

    Hi,
    Close to getting grey hairs now  ...
    I have a BB Curve 8520 ... and I'm using my gmail account as mail on my bb - today i changed my gmail password though and can't get any more messages into my gmail account any longer now (WTF did i change my password for ???). I tried to add my gmail account as my bb says that an email address does not currently exists for my bb device ... so when i try to add my gmail account and select 'gmail' in my email setup, add my email address and password it says ! Update failed ...
    Anyone any solutions to this problem pls ... 
    Facebook, internet, BBM .. still working ..
    thx a lot in advance ! 

    If you select a mailbox, you should get an Edit button (easier to see in landscape mode). Clicking the button will provide you with check circles for the messages. You also get Delete and Move buttons at the bottom. Check the messages you want to move and then navigate to the mailbox you want to drop them into. I think as long as you can navigate to a mailbox you can move the messages to it.
    In the Mac Mail application and probably Outlook on the Windows side, you also setup rules to move messages to specific mailboxes. If the mailboxes are stored on the server, then you can have the sorting done on the server and they should appear that way on the iPad. If your later messages do not show up, you may need to have the iPad app pulled down more messages until they are all showing.

  • BADI for Outbound delivery and adding fields to customers PO

    Dear Senior Abapers
    I have this requirement I seem to be at a loss.
    It's about changing the communication structure delivery line items for Customer PO number. How do I add a field to contain Customer PO number(VBKD-BSTKD) since this field  is not passed to a delivery document  used in the creation of a billing document.
    I read that  the delivery communication structure must be changed which is done by adding a field to contain Customer PO number in addition to implementing appropriate BADI for output delivery. Once this two steps are completed, it is then possible that selected deliveries for billing would be Master Invoiced.
    Thanks

    Thanks for your response(s),
    It appears the communication section of the problem was not addressed. I will also appreciate a sample code to better clarify how to use this BADI and Comm Structure if you have had similar challenge  before.
    Thanks one more time for your time

  • I am unable to open mail link (yahoo, gmail, and aol), and links that require a login will not open, it just continues to show "connecting" while on each home page.

    I can open web pages and click on links that don't require a login, but if I am trying to open a login for email or anything else "connecting" shows up in the tab and runs constantly with no connection taking place.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • Can't sync Apple Mail with Gmail and Yahoo

    Hi all, I really hope you can help. I have e-mail accounts with Gmail and Yahoo, and I'd really like to set either or both of these up in Apple Mail, primarily so that it will be really quick and easy to send people photos from my iPhoto library.
    I've put in the correct info and I've enabled POP and IMAP in my Gmail settings, but when I try and set up it just says "checking connection to server [email protected]" for ages and doesn't acheive anything. When I did somehow manage to set it up briefly, I tried sending a message and it just dissapeared when I pressed send, didn't appear in my sent mail either in Gmail or in Apple Mail, and was not delivered.
    Any ideas would be appreciated. I'm really frustrated that something that should be so simple could be such a pain - setting up e-mail on my iPhone took seconds and works perfectly! Thanks,

  • Gmail and Yahoo with Apple mail problem

    Hi, I read Mail help, wouldn't help. I tried many times but couldn't get my gmail and yahoo accounts set up in Mail. what's exactly the Incoming Mail Server of Gmail and Yahoo, and the Outgoing mail Server of these two? How about Hotmail? Every time it shows Not responding. What's the Account Type of Gmail and Yahoo?
    Thanks in advance!
    ZMU

    Hi There
    For Gmail setup using apple mail use this guide
    http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=13275
    POP access on yahoo accounts is not free. A yahoo mail plus account is needed.
    As far as I am aware Hotmail does not allow any POP access at all. I couldn't find any specific information on POP access in Hotmail's help site.
    Hope this helps

  • Mail.app with gmail setup question

    hello,
    i have a large gmail account i have been using with mail.app for a long time and all works normally. however the "gmail style" is getting a bit out of control for me with the duplicates in sent/all mail. my processing is simple, after reading an email i archive it (so my inbox is always clean) so it means i move it to all mail. but since sent messages are also in all mail i'm pretty sure mail.app is storing these messages twice and whenever you search for messages you always have to filter through the duplicates. I think there are some newer ways to sync mail.app with gmail and i just wanted to ask what's the best solution to this common issue?
    thank you,
    rick

    thanks for the reply. yes that is what i do sorry if i wasn't clear enough. actually the messages coming in are not duplicated since once i move them to All Mail there is only one copy there in All Mail. it's the sent messages since they are saved once in Sent and once in All Mail. does that make sense and how do other deal with this?
    thanks again,
    rick

  • OUTGOING MAIL PROBLEMS ON IPAD AND ACBOOK PRO

    Whenever I send emails through my business mails to yahoo, gmail and other mail clients from my iPad and macbook pro, it is rejected by the server. My business mail is hosted by siteground.com.
    When sending the same mails on non apple devices, it goes through alright. I have tried different options of the outgoing mail servers and ports as suggested by my host but still have issues. There are no issues with incoming mails on the apple devices. How do i resolve these problems?

    From the Mail menu bar, select

    Click the Show Detail button. A drawer opens. Send a message and post the text that appears. Anonymize any personal information before posting.

    It sounds like a runaway process is filling up your volume.
    Boot in safe mode. First, disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse, and monitor, if applicable, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including your login items.
    Use a tool such as the one linked below to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space:
