Mail received displaying sending last name twice - why?

Here's a strange issue. I recently setup a new user on our domain for email, which is hosted by Google Apps. The new person (we'll call person 1) is using OSX 10.8.3, latest mail, etc... their mail settings on Apple Mail appear to be set correctly and I had this person send a message to myself and got it fine, formatted correctly.
However, another person (we'll call person 2) in the same domain will get messages from this same person (person 1) and the name which is put next to their email address displays their last name twice. As an example, here's how we typically setup email addesses:
[email protected]
This person (person 1) would send a message and only certain receiving people (person 2 and others) would get an email with the address formatted as such:
"last last" [email protected]
Could it be the person getting mail (person 2) in this way has not enterted this new person (person 1) as a contact in their address book? I'm also being told that the same person (person 2) who is getting this strange formatted email when they try to create a new message to this person (person 1) and start to enter their name, the mail cache as remembered the same formatting as above, where the last name is repeated twice with no first name.
Hopefully this is not too confusing. I haven't been able to confirm person 2's address book to see if that's what's going on, but I suspect so.
Any idea what's going on here?

Hello Brian,
Thanks for your question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
From the summary you provided, I think you are right on par with what is going on. I see two possibilities:
a) the receiver has a contact card setup that is misconfigured (last, last rather than first, last).
b) the sender has their last name twice in the settings of the mail account (Full Name)
Should it be circumstance "b", you can edit the information in Mail > Preferences > Accounts - Make sure "Full Name" is configured correctly.

Mail Inbox all Emails do not display sender's name or E-mail address

After the last update in my Mail all the sender's names or E-mail addresses changed into No Sender. They are real E-mails not spam or junk E-mails. Once I open the E-mail I can see the Sender's name and E-mail address. It is very inconvenient not being able to see who is the sender befoer openning it. How do i fix this?
Thank you.

I am fighting with the same problem. In conversation mode my reply shows me as "From" on the left pane. I switched to Classic view which makes life a bit easier as I can see the "Subject" line and guess that this is an email I'm searching for. Can't find the way to put name of the Sender who started conversation in the info summary on the left.

TS3276 On received mail, I delete sender's name, address, etc. then forward it. The forwarded mail has a duplicate of the original mail, show original sender's name, etc. How to prevent the duplicate from being sent?

How to prevent duplicate of orginal mail (with original sender's name, address) being "attached" when forwarded?

Maybe I am mis-understanding what you are seeing.
When I forward a message, the receiver will see the original mail (unless I edit it, such as removing any previous sender's information) and the length will be the same as the message was before forwarding except for the added line "Begin forwarded message" (again, unless I edit bits out), and there will be no attached copy of the original message.
So when you say in your reply above "The orginal email with the sender's name and address was also sent with my forwarded email." do you mean:
a) that it is still visible at the head of the text of the message (which I was saying does not happen for me because "after hitting delete, the previous sender's information disappears." [and since] "it has disappeared, it cannot be in your forwarded mail." Disappeared means it is not there.
b) another copy of the original message is attached to the forwarded email at the end, either as an included file or as repeated text.
c) some other situation.
Sorry about the previous mis-spellings! I hope that we can get to the bottom of this.

How do get my address book to sort/display by Last Name?

I would like my Thunderbird Address Book to display by Last Name. How can I accomplish this?

In the Address Book, display the menu, then '''View|Show Name As…'''
then sort in the usual way.

Displaying Sender's name.

Dear All,
I'm Using AT commands to send SMS using a GSM Modem.
Now I want to set the "Sender's Name" to be displayed to the receiver instead of displaying the telephone number.
Can this be done by passing some parameters in the AT commands?
Because i do receive SMS which only displays the Sender's name instead of the tel number.
Regards,
Varun

the first last name record should come and igoner another records if contains last name or not .

You can acheieve this using Scripting functoid ( Script Type "Inline XSLT Call Template"). Refer to below XSLT script to use. Map output from this scripting functoid to destination node.
<xsl:template name="Employee">

Mail 6.2 Duplicate Last Name with Exchange 2010

When I am composing an email my Exchange 2010 domain contacts show up with two last names (eg. John Smith Smith). I've followed the recommendations of a couple different discussions including deleting the Exchange contacts and then re-adding them, but eventually the problem comes back. I've also deleted all previous recipients that had duplicate last names, but the problem persists. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
Jim

This is the sole reason I went out and bought MS Office for osx. I tried to deal with this for the last couple of weeks, but couldn't take it anymore. It may seem minor to the product mgrs in Cupertino, but it's an extremely annoying behavior which keeps this Mac from being able to stand on it's on in the work environment. Hopefully this will get fixed before I have to renew my Office payment.

To field on some emails displays sender's name instead of recipient

I have a coworker who is receiving emails that show her as the recipient, instead of who she is actually sending it to. I know that sounds confusing. I will try to explain below:
She sends out an email to a customer and CCs herself and her Sales Rep. For the example, I will call her Jane Doe and the Sales Rep John Doe, and the actual recipient Customer Doe.
When she sends the email:
To: Customer Doe (customer's email address)
CC: Jane Doe, John Doe
How she sees it in her Inbox:
To: Jane Doe, John Doe
CC: Jane Doe, John Doe
When she hits "Reply All", it shows as below:
To: Jane Doe (customer's email address)
CC: Jane Doe, John Doe
What I mean by that is that the display name shows as her own name, but it shows the customer's email address. Oddly, when she forwards the email as is, I see the same thing, but if she sends it to me as an attachment, I see only the customer's
email address.
I have not been able to find anyone else that has described a similar problem. She is using Outlook 2010 on a Win 7 machine. Please help with this odd problem.

it sounds like somewhere along the line, Outlook associated her name with the email address - autocomplete makes more sense than a bad contact or a bad view.
Is the customer in the GAL as a mail contact?

Mail Receiver adapter - dynamic file name without mail package

I know that we can get the dynamic attachment name using mail package... As per the FAQ Mail adapter, the Mail package use is deprecated and hence we do not want to go that route.
I have seen the following wiki entry for setting the file attachment name...
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/XI/Adapter%20Module%20PI%207.0%20Set%20Attachment%20Name?bc=true
Is this the only approach to dynamic attachment name using Mail adapter (and without Mail package). Or a different approach without Adapter module is possible?

There is a different approach without using mail package or adapter module.
Have a look at this Wiki:
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ESOAInfrastructure/Dynamic+Email+Attachment+name+for+Received+Mails+with+ASMA+and+without+using+mail+package

Displaying by last name first screws up the middle name

Argh. Why couldn't I find any page to submit this as a clear, reproduceable bug?
If display is set to "First Last" then I see "First Middle Last" and that makes sense. If it's set to "Last, First" I see "Last, Middle First" which makes NO sense. Everybody (but Apple) knows that when you list people in an address book or phone book you list them "Last, First Middle."

I figured out the solution for this.. If a user doesn't record a 'recorded name' when configuring their Unity account.. they cannot be searched for by name in the directory.. So have any users that are reporting the issue with their account log into their personal unity settings and record their name.. You can tell be looking at their Unity account profile.. If the option to press the play button for Recoded Voice is grayed out, they have no recorded name.. Hope this helps!

ERMS Rule: E-Mail receiver and sender attributes

Hi Forum,
I created an ERMS Rule but it only works for the conditions that uses the Subject and content attributes. If I check for the Original_Receiver or Sender, then the rule is set to false.
Log:
xpath address:/parts/ORIGINAL_RECEIVER/text()
xpath value:
xpath address:/parts/SENDER_ADDRESS/text()
xpath value:
Any idea ?
Thanks a lot !!!

Hi,
Please check whether you have maintained the FG services FG_EMAIL and FG_WI_CONT ahead of the rule execution service RE_RULE_EXEC inside your Service Manager profile? If not, then please maintain the same.
It could be possible that, if you don't maintain these two FG services, then the determination of ORIGINAL_RECEIVER and SENDER_ADDRESS may not happen at runtime upon reciept of an inbound e-mail.
Best Regards,
Vinod

How to display last name first and then first name last from one name column?

I am trying to write a code which will display the last Name first then second name at last. For example;
If the value of table column is: "John Decker Revora"
I want to display "Revora, John Decker".
I think I will first look for the gap in between the name and from last gap i will pick up the value and then concathenate with rest of the name.
If u have any advice please reply ASAP with some examples.
Thanks

You need to do this in the query, using the instr and substr functions. Search the documentation for info on these functions. As a startpoint, I'll copy here an example from Kevin Loney's Oracle 8i The Complete Reference that does the opposite... you can adjust this to your needs:
select Author, SUBSTR(Author, INSTR(Author,',')+2) | |' '| | SUBSTR(Author, INSTR(Author,',')-1) ByFirstName

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!
