Mail has changed my outgoing name...

I'm not sure exactly when this started, but Mail has started sending my emails out using my title (e.g. Mr) in the from address as well as the recipient's addresses, where the title is specified in the addressbook, which is a bit too formal for my liking.
Previously, it just used first name and last name.
Why is this? Do I really have to go through Address Book and delete all the titles?

Hi M0thr4,
Maybe you can try this...
You can choose which account Mail uses to send messages. Maybe you have multiple mail accounts?
Go to Mail > Preferences > Composing.
Then in Addressing: Send new mail from: Select the account you want to use.
Of course, make sure that your Full Name in your Account Information does not contain Mr.!
As for the recipients names, I'm not sure but look in Mail >Window > Previous Recipients, maybe your problem is there? You can delete them if they have the Title attached to the name.
Do you use Smart Addresses?
From Mail Help:
"To use Smart Addresses when composing messages and viewing an inbox, choose Mail > Preferences, click Viewing, and then select the Use Smart Addresses checkbox. By default, only the recipient's name or email address is shown in a Smart Address. You can drag Smart Addresses between the To, Cc, Bcc, or Reply To fields when composing a message."
Maybe that will work?
Good luck!

    My e-mail has changed, but I purchashed some songs in iTunes using my old e-mail address as my account name... so when I try to play the sonngs I bought and paid for - it keeps asking me to authorize my PC first, but I don't remember the password! And since the old e-mail address is no longer active, I can't even chenge the password- becasue it's sends the link to do so via e-mail!  Even when I use the "ask personal questions" option to verify and it asks me for my date of birth, I put it in and it still won't acccept.

  • Change gmail outgoing name when sent from iphone4

    hi!
    so, i have my gmail account set up on iphone and it works all fine and peachy but...
    all my outgoing e-mails sent from iphone have my username displayed as outgoing name.
    (for example: say, my e-mail is [email protected] all my outgoing e-mails, sent from iphone display Pink Elephant as my name, which looks kind of awkward, when i'm replying to business related e-mails)
    just to be clear: when i go to Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> GMAIL -> Account... it doesn't have the name field.
    it has:
    - email
    - server
    - domain
    - username
    - password
    - description
    and the option to use SSL. that's it.
    any ideas how to change the outgoing name?
    thanks!

    wjosten, the thing is - it has my name in gmail settings. i checked. it works fine, when i e-mail from a computer.
    changing it has no effect on my outgoing name, when i send from iphone.
    but thanks
    upd: yeah, what Leann said

  • The font on my internet browser and mail has changed.  How do I change it back to a standard font?

    The font on my internet browser and mail has changed.  How do I change it back to a standard font? 

    Assuming you're using Safari, with Safari running open Safari's Preferences (Preferences in the Safari menu). Go to the Appearance tab, and set the ones you want.
    Assuming you're using Mail, open Mail's Preferences (Preferences in the Mail menu). Go to the Fonts & Colors tab, and set the ones you want.

  • Mail has changed my name!  How do I fix it?

    Just last week, mail has started appending the phrase "MSNXMLScraper" to my e-mail address on both incoming and outgoing messages.
    I know where it came from... I have a program by that name that runs on another computer, and sends me an e-mail message whenever it encounters an error.
    I've looked in the address book, and can't find that string associated with my e-mail address anywhere, nor can I find it in Mail Preferences.
    Can anybody tell me how to remove or change it?
    Walt

    check other entries in Address Book. is there perhaps a separate entry for MSNXMLScraper with your email address in it?

  • Relinking where the filename has changed but tape name is the same, can it be done?

    Should it be possible to relink to media based on matching tape name?
    So i have X files in a folder, each has a unique tape name. Then some of those files are regenerated with different filenames but the tape name remains the same. I was naively assuming that the relocate dialogue, if you had tape name checked and nothing else would then match the files name for name and find them automatically.
    That doesn't seem to be the case.
    So am i wrong? Or is there a way of relinking several hundred files where the filename may change - how can i get premiere to relink to a file other than exact filename match?
    thanks
    Paul

    Hi Fuzzy!
    I did look at that but it's a large extra step that wouldn't be ideal. The idea is that i need a timeline just changing as files are updated in the background, i don't want to have an extra workflow step in there. I can probably arrange it so the filenames don't change (not ideal) but the key is that the linking dialogue appears to suggest that i should be able to relink using tape name but it just doesn't appear to work.
    If i relink one of the files then i'd expect PPro to go off any find any other missing ones based on the tape name, but nope...
    thanks anyway
    cheers

  • I was wondering if there is a way to change the outgoing name on my emails?

    I have been to the "Manage apple ID" area many times and changed the name but I have noticed that when I send a email the name is wrong how can I change that name?

    For your iCloud Mail you can change the full name for your mail account at https://www.icloud.com/
    Click the Mail.app icon, and in the Mail panel click the "Gears" icon in the lower left corner of the panel to open the Preferences. In the "accounts" panel select your account and change the "full Name" for your Mail account.

  • Did osx change the outgoing name in mail and how do i change it back?

    i cant figure out how change the name in mail that is displayed in the " to: and from:"
    this is particutularly frustrationg because i entered the name i go by (sam) when i set up the imac and never used my legal name for email ect.  at some point os x (i assume) changed it to my legal name which it probably obitaned from a creditcard payment.

    i never put that name in mail and now i cant change it,

    What name are you using with your ISP? And what name are you using for your ISP's email? That is usually what is displayed in Mail. Take a look at your Mail preferences > Accounts:
    Both my full name and email address are displayed as I had set up my account with my ISP (Centurylink).

  • ITunes has change my first name

    I cannot believe this but tonight i sign into the itunes store to be confronted with the fact that my name is now Religious!
    My name is Christian and i can understand how that can be seen as religious but they have changed my actual account - my nickname is something different!!
    twitpic.com/humm1

    The "bad word" filter in the iTunes Store is apparently being overly restrictive. Contact the iTunes Store Customer Service department using the form on their Contact page and explain the problem to them. They should be able to sort things out (eventually).
    Hwyl.

  • My WiFi name and password has changed. Did someone hack my WiFi? My computer can connect but not my iPhone 5s, and the connection for my computer is full, please help.

    Hello, this is my first post.
    Well lately I've been experiencing some connection issues with my iPhone 5s. I was on my iPhone just watching Youtube when my iPhone 5s disconnected, I tried to connect again by going to settings> Wi-FI> and then select my network as usual, but the weird thing is that my Wi-Fi network has changed it's name to Wireless, it used to be Wireless710. Also the password has been changed.
    My computer can easily connect due to the fact that it is hardwired to the Wireless Cable Modem Gateway.
    Extra Info:
    Carrier is Sprint.
    I am using Windows 7 Ultimate.
    My Wireless Cable Modem Gateway is Netgear.
    And now I am confused because when I open the small tab with the computer and a plug on the bottom right corner next to the speaker icon it says I'm not connected :/?! Here is a picture of it:
    Note that I can not connect to it but am connected on my computer. It just disappeared on my phone and computer, I even unplugged my router waited for 20 seconds and connected it back in. Did it wok? for my computer yes again because it is hardwired, but my phone? No. Wireless 710 still won't show up. Is this a possible hack? Please help me as much as you all can, thank you very much.

    Log in to the router's console with a web browser from your computer. What kind of encryption did you have on the router? If it was WEP that's about as secure as no encryption. It should be WPA or WPA2. There has been an exploit reported in Netgear and Linksys routers that allows someone connected to the router if Remote Access to the console is enabled to take it over and install spyware on it.
    Is it your router, or the cable providers? If it is yours it has been hacked. If it belongs to the cable provider they may have changed it to make it more secure. Call them.
    And if it has been hacked and is yours the best thing to do is to throw it away and get a new, more secure router. Or you can try reflashing the firmware by going to Netgear's site and downloading a clean copy.

  • MAIL PROBLEMS!! Outgoing

    Hi there,
    when i use mail (from dock, not mobile me) i can receive but i cannot send.
    When i do try to send i get the following message:
    'Error
    this message could not be delivered and will remain in your Outbox until it ca be delivered.
    The attempt to read data from the server "smtp.mac.com" failed.'
    I have had this problem for a few weeks now, and i have still not resolved it.
    Recently, i moved from Chester to Norwich. Meaning that my internet has changed.
    I have been told that this could be the reason???
    thankyou x

    Greetings and welcome,
    Could your problem be related to .mac changing to mobleme? If the smtp server has changed it's name that would give you this problem.
    To change the address you would go to the accounts tab in preferences. You'll have to visit mobleme to find out if the server name has changed.

  • Change of Domain Name

    My customer has changed their business name and domain name. I need to change Exchange Online Protection to send and received this new name.

    Hi,
    you just have to add the new domain to EOP. After the domain has been approved you have to set up the domain (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj723136(v=exchg.150).aspx)
    and set the mailflow in the connectors. That's all :-)
