Mail showing wrong account descriptions

This isn't a major breaking feature, it's just me nit picking. In mail it's not updating the account description for my iCloud email but for all my other accounts it allows me to change them. What's weird is that it works just fine on my iPad 2 and it use to work on my iPhone 4. On my iPhone 4 my iCloud email is designated as "Me" which is what I use to have it back when MobileMe was around. I changed it to "iCloud" and it's still showing "Me". My iPad 2 show's this field as "iCloud" and I'm able to change it to whatever I want.
I've tried some fixes like renaming several times, turning iCloud email on and off, but nothing major. Like I said this is just a nit picking issue since I'd like everything to be unified. It in no way affects my usage of Mail or any other functionality and my iPhone is updated to the latest iOS update.

Hi all,
I finally solved my problem and felt like I should share my experience. The idea of changing the sorting/listing settings of Mail.app was indeed a good option. Unfortunately, it doesn't solve the issue on my iPhone or any other device/application accessing my data. Besides that, I didn't feel comfortable with this solution, since it didn't really fix my problem.
So here is what I did. I downloaded Mozilla's Thunderbird and set up my MobileMe account. After successfully retrieving all IMAP data I saved a copy of my complete IMAP folder structure locally. Afterwards I checked if I really had all messages and folders and deleted my data on MobileMe. Next step was uploading all my local messages/folders back to MobileMe again. I had about 3,5GB to transfer and it took me almost a night to finish this process.
After successfully transferring the data, I opened Mail.app and my all other devices/applications accessing that particular MobileMe account and had everything re-synchronized and Voilà Thunderbird transferred the messages with the received date correctly and Mail.app and other devices/applications displayed and sorted it accordingly. I deleted Thunderbird's email client and its associated files and folders, but I guess that application should be a keeper anyway.
So far I had the impression that this was all caused, because I transferred my local saved messages/folders to MobileMe through Microsoft Entourage. That application transmitted the date I transferred the message instead of using the message's header date settings.
I hope this helped.
Cheers!

Exchange Rate Variance line showing wrong Account

Hi,
Our company is using Oracle EBS R12.1.3. When our Finance users do foreign currency transactions in Payables and match an invoice to the PO then, on the invoice distribution lines, there are two lines (one with the Line type "ITEM" and the other one is
"Exchange Rate Variance"). The ITEM line is Ok but the Exhange Rate Variance Line is showing the same Expense Account as on ITEM line (i.e., hitting wrong account). We have checked the setups in Payable Options. The Account that is defined as PO Rate Variance Gain / Loss is different from the account that is being hit on the Invoice Distribution lines. Why is that so?
Our Finance users are not satisfied with this. They're saying that Exchange Rate variance is not charging to the right account.
Please let me know which setup option am I missing.
Thanks and Regards

Hi Nehmat,
this is an intended behaviour ...
Your purchase order is in Foreign Currency ..
Your Invoice matched to Purchase order is in Foreign Currency ...
Difference between the PO and INV exchange rate has caused Exchange rate variance ..
The entered currency in the above case is Foreign currency therefore entered value for ERV line will be zero ... whereas the accounted line would have the computation for ERV done in functional currency....hence ERV line is acceptable for this case.

Post Goods issue showing wrong accounting figures

Dear Friends,
I have received a query where there is one sales order with many line item. Delivery is broken up into pieces and so is billing. When I go to the deliver -post goods issue and check for the accounting document for the first delivery, it shows for accounting document figures perfectly fine but when I go to the second delivery - post goods issue, the accounting document generated figures are vague. The figures which should be in lacs are reflected in crores in the accounting document in the Post goods issue.
The Price Control in the Material is Moving Average Price
The pricing procedure does not show anything wrong in the Sales Document.
Kindly suggest me a solution to this problem. This is a very critical issue as the figures are in huge numbers.
Regards
Vineet Jain

Dear Vineet
Really this is a strange problem which should not happen. Please confirm whether you are facing this issue in all subsequent deliveries or only for that particular sale order. If it is only for that particular sale order, then I feel, you need to refer to SAP.
Meanwhile, you can cross check the value as follows:-
Go to MB51, give the material code which has got issue, input plant and movement type and execute. A list will be displayed where press +"Cntrl + Shift + F12"+ so that the system will take you to a screen where for that particular material code and movement type, a detailed analysis will flow with delivery reference. In the same screen, there is a field "Amount in LC". Divide this value with despatched quantity and see whether the value here is flowing correctly (ie.it is picking the moving average price) by comparing with material master Accounting1 view.

Incoming mail shows wrong FROM header info

hi, i have been getting this for quite some time now and cannot figure
out why it is happening. i have a client emailing my users and his email
shows as [email protected] and i dont even have a name close to
his name. first i though it is that previous recipients window in the
mail.app feature but i went and delete it from all my users mail.app. i
also found it in one of their address book but i deleted that as well. i
looked at the headers both in mail.app and webmail. i see Return-Path:
<[email protected]> but i see From: hisfirstname
<[email protected]>
it only happens with this one user. this is what i think had
happened: one of my user was sending an email from mail.app to notmyuser
and did not put the rest of the address, if you do that the server is
automatically trying to add @mail.mydomain.com somehow after that that
address [email protected] (not valid address) was added to her
address book, and mail.app has this stupid feature that all the people
in that email chain get that one wrong or misspelled address and keep
showing up automatically once they start typing. what i cannot figure
out is how is my mail server thinking that the email came from that not
valid address
any ideas? thanks martin

What next?
I'd check with the senders whom you receive mail from to be sure they have your name correctly entered in the address book for whatever mail client they're using; I'm guessing the problem is on their end, since we've eliminated the possibilites on your end: Address Book and the Previous Recipients list. Those are the only two places Mail could draw that information from, unless it's in the original message sent to you, which you can confirm by opening a message, then choosing View > Raw Source. Look for the To: field and if the name doesn't match yours, then you know the problem is on the sender's end, in which case you should tell them to correct your name in their email address book.
Can I clear out the email account completely and start again.
You could, but that won't solve the problem. That name is coming from somewhere external to Mail (since Mail doesn't keep any such information), so it's just a matter of finding the source correcting it.

Since adding over 600 tags my computer is slow and Mail shows wrong emails in previously working intelligent folders... What to do?

Hi,
this is my situation: I have a MacBook Pro 15'' with 2,8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo running on Mavericks. The transition to Mavericks a week ago was smooth, and I was happy to find out that my many OpenMeta tags (I've been tagging my files for over 7 years now) were easily converted into Mavericks tags using Leap (Ironic Software). I did notice, though, that even though Mavericks recognized all my existing tags, only those that I had entered "per hand" in Mavericks, were candidates for auto-completion in the entering/tagging process, while the others needed to be written out completely if I wanted to use them on a new file. So after a while I decided to look for a solution (I didn't want to risk creating similar tags to some already existing) and I had the idea to copy all my existing tags in one go from the Tags Window in Leap (685 in total) and paste them into the Mavericks tag window for one experimental file.
It worked. Now all my tags are shown in the Mavericks tags list and are auto-completed when prompted.
BUT since then my computer has been acting strange:
It has slowed down somewhat.
When I try to scroll down the complete list of my tags in the Mavericks tagging window Finder crashes.
And my intelligent mailboxes in Mail are now buggy. For ex. an intelligent folder programmed to show me all emails received today, will now show all of today's emails plus about 20 others from years past (dating as far back as 2009) many of them with "empty" senders, recipients and subject lines.
I have to add that all of this happened a few hours ago and that it seems as if the contents of the intelligent folders are getting updated as I write (but not necessarily in a good way)... Does that mean that my mac is rebuilding some indexes somewhere or anything of that kind?
So should I just wait and hope things will get better? Or is there anything I can do to correct the problems?
Thanks in advance.

No problem with versions not matching.
In the Finder, open Home/Library/Mail and find one account folder (will begin with POP if POP account, etc). Open the account folder and locate the INBOX.mbox folder (or INBOX.imapmbox if using IMAP), and then tell me if there is a Messages folder within, and if so open that and observe the number of files it contains?

Apple mail showing wrong body in gmail (imap) messages

I asked about this the other day and thought I had solved my own problem by rebuilding Mail. But it is persisting and becoming more than annoying. Does anyone know why this is happening suddenly and how to fix it? I have recently repaired permissions for a back up using SuperDuper!
I received my gmail via IMAP in Apple Mail. It has worked perfectly for years, but in the last week to 10 days, I find that in some mail, the Subject/From do not match the Reply To/Body. Just now I received a confirmation of an appointment and I can't see the date/time because the body is that of another email (which contains the correct body (they are not switched) - see below). Another time, there was a purchase confirmation that was replaced. Information that I need to be able to read and store!

It's not just you. I'm having the same problem -- Gmail, IMAP, subject lines matched with wrong email body.
And I've noticed that in my case, it seems that (at least?) two emails have exchanged the subjects/message index lines and their bodies.
Rebuilding or deleting accounts or deleting the envelope index doesn't help -- it always comes back in a day or two, often with the same emails.

Mail Shows Wrong Messages

About a week ago Mail starting getting very confused. When I click on a message in the list, it shows a completely unrelated (and older) email in the body. Is there a way to "rebuild" the index or something?

1. Quit Mail if it's running.
2. Go to Home/Library/Mail and delete the Envelope Index file.
3. Restart Mail and let it import your existing messages; when it's finished your Mail index will have been rebuilt and your problem should disappear.

Mail shows wrong creation dates for some older messages after upgrade to OSX 10.9.

Searching for old mail messages I find that the creation date on many old messages is now incorrect after upgrading my system to OSX 10.9.
Searching mail for messages from a person now results in threads that include unconnected messages and messages that are out of date order making the thread difficult to follow.
Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks.

Hi showbuyer!
You may need to try reindexing your mailbox in order to resolve this issue:

Mail Showing Wrong Uncount Number

It says I have 3 messages and 23 unread.

That's not the right attitude and will never have a success. If Apple wants to better their products, they can easily sacrifice the salary of one, or even many guys, who will scroll Apple's forums in particular, but also the net in general, looking for reported bugs and forward them to development. I myself, as a customer should not be burdened with the inconvenience of reporting to the "mighty one" without a sole acknowledgment on top of having to live with countless bugs, that should have not been there to begin with. And frankly not only me, but most of users are way too busy with their own problems, to spend precious time chasing king Apple. Apple is not god and will never be! Just a lousy, self absorbed, profit seeking corporation. Mark my words - soon, very soon all those misconceptions will be revised through force in the heads of the people. Time has come for a fundamental change of all known understanding to date!

Email shows wrong Sent From account

No matter what I do, the default email "return" address won't show my main account, but only the one that is "second in line".
How do I permantly set the default return address?
Having to do each one manually is a pain in the butt.
It has worked fine until just recently, then it was occasional, now every single one shows the wrong account.
What's up, I didn't change anything.....
eMac Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Is there a way to add this automatically?
For a semi-permanent change, the Sending Server is named as "OutGoing Mail Server SMTP" on the Preference pane for each Mail Account.
To change its specifics, move the mouse cursor over it and choose "Edit SMTP Server List" from the drop-down Menu. Then choose the SMTP Server you wish to inspect/change and its information will be shown. If using similar ones for two different email accounts, change the description field, e.g., change "gmail" to "gmail (work)".

Sent message from Mac Mail work email shows my personal gmail account as Mail to: and account summary shows outgoing mail server as smtp.google while incoming shows imap.google

sent email from work through Mac Mail shows to the sender Mail to: (personal gmail). Account summary shows smtp.google on outgoing server and imap.google on incoming

Why is mail being sent from wrong account

I am trying to send mail from a specific account, however even though it is showing as the correct account when it is received it is from my partners account. I have followed the @mail@ set up and checked everything - which appears to be ok - but it is still wrong somewhere. HELP please.

I am having this same issue. I have several accounts (all .live) which I use for my various different jobs. Frequently now I am sending a mail, or replying to a mail, and it is being received from the wrong account.
- I check the account at the top of the mail that I am sending is correct.
- the mail listed in my 'Sent' folder shows as being sent from the correct account.
- When a client replies to my mail, the reply comes to an incorrect account, and on their email the heading for my original mail shows the incorrect email address & name.
- the email accounts seem to be random - not always the same incorrect one is used.

Mail going to wrong account

Two of my mail servers that I manage are delivering mail to the wrong account
for example some emails sent to say [email protected] are ending up in [email protected]
If you look at the header sam is not a recipient nor is she a forward in aliases
any help would be greatfully recieved

These are possible causes for an e-mail to end up in the wrong place:
-additional shortnames in WGM
-forward set in WGM
-a .forward file in the user's mail directory
-an alias in /etc/postfix/aliases
-an alias in /etc/postfix/virtual
-a sieve script
-a bcc
-a catchall account
-an autoforward by the original recipient
Hope I didn't miss any.
You should check all these possibilities. If you still need help, post relevant log entries and the unmodified output of postconf -n
