Mail shows incorrectly my username in the "To" field

Hi,
I'm using Mail 8.1 on Mac OS X Yosemite. I configured Mail to fetch mails from my gmail account and it works. But it seems that Mail incorrectly substitutes my gmail account for words "State Holidays" in the "To" field. It happens only with the gmail account, other accounts (not gmail ones) don't have this issue.
Here I have a screenshot one of the mails. It's in Russian, but I translated the major part.
I have been using my Mac for a year, but noticed the issue only about two or less mouths ago and relate it with the upgrade to Yosemite.

Hi Alex,
Thanks for reply. I tried that, but no one of the fields contain the phrase, please look at the screenshot
Dmitry

Is there any ways to make Mail app show prefix and suffix in the address field?

I apologize for any inconvenience that my poor English may cause.
I would like to ask if there is a way to make Maill app show prefix and suffix in the address field.
This is, in my culture, very important, especially for formal situations. When I call someone such as professors, bosses, I should put prefix after their names to show my respect. In Microsoft Outlook, there is a field called 'Display as'.
http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/contacts/contact-address-book-options-settings/
Therefore, I can choose how the name will be shown in my messages. For example, Prof. Kim instead of Kim. However, as far as I know, there isn't such options in Mail app. Is there any way that I can modify the way of displaying names in the address field in Mail app?

As far as I can determine, that is only how you see the email address, not how it is sent.
You can set up Prefixes and Suffixes in Contacts using the Add Field submenu of the Card menu:
If you use the Edit Template... command, you can choose to always have the Prefix and Suffix show on new cards.
However, I don't think Mail uses anything but First, Last for addressing emails.
You can override the behavior by manually with:
Prefix First Last Suffix <[email protected]>

The incorrect iCloud email (in the from field)address is appearing

The incorrect iCloud email (in the from field) address is appearing on my iPod touch, but not on my MacBook Pro. The I Pod's ICloud email account is using my account for Itunes etc., not the icloud email address, how can I reset the "from" address?

ok thanks, so if I do nothing straight away, they won't free the address up and give it to someone else, correct?

HT5648 OS10.6.8 Firefox 24.0 The new Yahoo mail shows no graphics. However, the new Yahoo mail displays correctly in Safari and Chrome. I believe this has to to with the settings for Javascript. Help me, please.

OS10.6.8, Firefox 24.0
The new Yahoo mail shows no graphics using Firefox 24.0 - just identical rectangles where new icons should be.\. However, the new Yahoo mail displays correctly in Safari and Chrome. I believe this has to to with the settings for Javascript. Those settings aren.t easy to access in the most recent Firefox 24.0 version. Help me, please.

The settings for Javascript are either on or off, Fireefox 24 doesn't give you a option to turn off Javascript, unless you installed something like NoScript extension (or some other Javascipt blocking add-on)
If NoScript, then you need to use the View > Toolbars > Customize and drag the NoScript "Temp Allow All" button to the toolbar area to enable all enabled scripts (including Javascript) on that web page.
Under the Firefox Help menu is a option to restart with add-ons disabled to see if something you might have installed is causing your problem.
Reinstall Firefox or create another user account and run Firefox there to try to localize your issue.
I'm having no problem here on 10.6.8 in Firefox, Chrome or Safari, Yahoo Mail works perfectly.

I have 2 different accounts at the same websites. Whenever I go to that website, one of my usernames prefills the UN field and I can't access the other account. I cannot overwrite my pre-filled username. Ideas?

I have 2 different accounts at the same websites. Whenever I go to that website, one of my two user names (always the same one) pre-fills the user-name field and I can't access the other account. The website rightfully rejects my password. I cannot overwrite my pre-filled user-name because the second I hit enter to logon, the original user-name rewrites itself into it's field. Neither of the user names is being saved by firefox anywhere in the "tools"; Options, security, advanced or privacy menu fields.
I did notice that that website has installed a cookie onto my computer called "_rememberme" which contains the user-name that is plaguing me.
This is a website that I access for very sensitive and important information and I must have both accounts accessible at different times.
Thanks, Joshua
XP, sp3; FF3.6.3
== This happened ==
A few times a week
== I added the second account on this website.

You need to clear that remember me cookie and make sure that you remove a check mark to remember you on that website.
Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
You can disable the automatic fill of a name and password.
See:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Password_only_filled_after_entering_user_name
http://kb.mozillazine.org/signon.autofillForms
To open the ''about:config'' page, type '''about:config''' in the location (address) bar and press the Enter key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

Mail shows no folder location in the All Mail list

This is a Classic View for Mail - All Mail
You see to the right the Mailbox column. It shows All Mail instead of showing the folder location of the mails
How can I make Mail to show folder location ?

All Mail isn't a Mail mailbox. It is a Gmail Label/folder/mailbox. It has nothing to do with Mail.
You haven't seemed to comprehend what we have been telling you and what is stated in the multitude of links we have provided.
If you want an "All Mail" folder in Mail, Create a Smart Mailbox which has the criteria:
Date Received is after <some date well before all of your email>
Check the boxes to include Sent and Trash if that is what you want to include.
Ok, now hold on because you brain is about to explode.
A Smart Mailbox does not move any emails. It does a search of all your messages and lists the ones that meet the criteria you set. Again, NONE of the email is MOVED or COPIED.

When setting the split-days to "every 15 minutes," the week and comparison views show incorrect time ranges for the day

When I change the "split-days" interval time, under Options > Settings, to
15, or every 15 minutes, the week and comparison views don't show the correct
time range for the day.
<P>
For example, if I click View to display the calendar and then click Week to get
a weekly view, the time range displayed is from 6:00 a.m.
to 4:00 p.m. If I click Comparison to get a
comparison view, the time range displayed is from 12 p.m.
to 6:45 p.m.
<P>
In this example, should both of these views show the same time range, from
9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.?
No, the two views will not necessarily show the same time range. The time
range for the comparison view will start at the beginning prefs time only
if you have something scheduled (on any day of the week) starting at that
time. For example, on one of the days during your week of comparison, if you
create an event that starts at 9:00 a.m. and then open the comparison view, the
time range displayed will start with 9:00 a.m.
<P>
Additionally, view times will expand past the configured settings if events
span past the time range. That is, if you have an event that spans from
5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., the event will be reflected in the view, even though
your time range may be set to go only to 6:00 p.m.

Umm yes.
The settings are stored in ''prefs.js'', so you could swap various copies of this file in and out.
However, the system will load ''prefs.js'', then, if present, ''user.js'' , so you can set up just your changes in ''user.js'' .
The sort of line you need to look for is like this:
<code>user_pref("mail.server.server14.check_time", 10);</code>
You'll need to do some research to identify which of your accounts is which.
Search for the account's email address:
<code>user_pref("mail.identity.id10.useremail", "xenos@example.com");</code>
Use the id number to locate the account number:
<code>user_pref("mail.account.account29.identities", "id10");</code>
Use the account number to find the server number:
<code>user_pref("mail.account.account29.server", "server14");</code>
Finally, you can then use the server number find the account's time setting:
<code>user_pref("mail.server.server14.check_time", 10);</code>
This last entry may not exist, if you have never changed the setting from the default 10 minutes.
Do be careful with your typing and copy/pasting; if the file fails the syntax parser it will silently fail.
And make sure Thunderbird is shut down when you do the swap. If it's open, it may overwrite changes, and in any case, it only reads the settings file when it starts up.

My sent mail is showing a random contact as the "from" field

For some reason my latest e-mails I send are saying they are "from" a contact of mine, despite "me" sending them. I've yet to find out if the end recipient is seeing it this way (I'm hoping not) and more importantly I'm hoping this contact it is displaying is not actually getting copies of these e-mails. It is showing up this way on my laptop and on the iPhone and only from this one contact. I'm seemingly sending and receiving these e-mails despite it showing someone else's name instead of mine so it is probably just how it is being displayed (I hope). I am going to try and delete the contact and see what happens. Anyone else have a similar experience, solution?

If JV's suggestion does not help, rebuild the Envelope Index.
Quit mail.
Delete the file ~/library/mail/Envelope Index
Retart mail and it will reindex.

WCS shows incorrect AP names on the heat maps

After priming nine APs, removing them from the system, installing them, and firing them up, I noticed that some of the names of the APs shown on the WCS heatmap are incorrect.
The names shown start with "AP" followed by the AP MAC address. I made sure that the WLC had the correct AP names (it did - in the case of the attached screen shots, the correct names appear with "612-".)
What is especially odd is that while all the names were correct in the WLC, only some of the AP names were correct in the WCS.
Clicking on the REFRESH button did not fix this. The workaround was to force the WCS to refresh its configuration from the WLC. However, I don't believe that is going to be a long-term solution.
Has anyone else seen this apparent synchronization issue?

I called TAC and they suggested doing a REFRESH FROM CONTROLLER from the WCS.
This seemed to kick the WCS in the pants and the problem has not recurred.
Also, when adding LWAPs, I now do so from the WCS user interface and do not the WLC GUI and this seems to work out better.

Why does Firefox show a little triangle in the form field ?

I setup a form and my client wants rounded corners and a background-image for the fields.
It looks well in IE, but with Firefox i get a little white triangle in the left bottom corner of the fields.
I looked at all the CSS for the field for conflicting settings, but could not find any.
Can you help me with this ?

It looks that there is some problem with the CSS code for the bottom of those fields and that the bottom right corner is shown in that position.
Maybe you can post a minimized code example that shows this issue.

You can also try to check for CSS issues in the Inspector.

Showing file location, i.e. the "Where" field in the main iTunes display

Is there anyway to show the file location for a song in the main iTunes display? This field shows up as "Where:" when one does a "Get Info" for a song.

Unfortunately you can't add a "Where" column to your library view. You have to find the information from Get Info or under File>Show in Finder on a Mac (there's probably something similar in the Windows version). If this is something you'd be interested in seeing in a future version you can send feedback/feature requests directly to Apple at this link: Apple Product Feedback

i belong to a group where i must send an email to the entire group at once, because it is a group mail it will also come to my inbox. the problem is the "from" line shows someone else's email, when i send the same email from my other email client the "from" line shows my email as it should... i have screenshots of both clients... the thunderbird one shows incorrectly. i have contacted the group owner and my emails are not moderated and my email shows as sender on her end.
why is my thunderbird showing the incorrect email in the "from" line... it is a valid email but it is not mine

Mail not be delived to one user, unless sent as a CC or if another user is also in the TO: Field

Hello All,
I have a strange issue that I hope someone has seen before. (Exchange 2003)
I have one user that does not receive mail to her outlook or OWA box if her address is in the To: field.
If her address is in the CC or BCC field she receives the message.
Additionally, She will receive the e-mail if her address is in the To: field along with another user.
Trouble shooting thus far:
1.) Confirmed that Exchange message tracker is reporting successful delivery. Yes
2.) Confirmed that the message is not going to deleted items. Yes
3.) Confirmed this is also occurring in OWA. Yes
4.) Confirmed no white or blacklists. Yes
5.) Confirmed Cache mode is enabled. Yes
6.) Setup the account on new workstation and have the same issue. Yes
This is a very strange issue which I have not seen before. If her name is the ONLY name in the To: field, the message reports successful, but does not show up in Outlook or OWA. If her name is the ONLY name in the CC ot BCC field the message
is delivered successfully.
If you add a second user to the To: field, the message is successful.
So to sum this up; If someone addresses a message just to her, it will report successful but will not be delivered.
If you add a second user to the To field; The message is delivered successfully.
Any help would be greatly appreciated on this one.
Thanks in advance!
Greg

Hi,
Did you get any NDR message when her name is the only name in the To field?
Additionally, I recommend you check if any transport rules are applied to her mailbox.
If not, you can try to move the mailbox to other database and check if the issue persist.
Hope this helps!
Thanks.

An incorrect email address I put in the BCC field has repeated itself infinitely and blocked outgoing messages. I can select but not delete the long list from the Warning. What can I do?

I put an incorrect email address in the BCC field of an email. A 'Warning' dropped down where the address was repeated until it fell off the bottom of the screen. No closure button at the top so I can't close it. I can select all the repeat addresses but can't delete them. I can't shut down or restart the computer because Mail can't close. Any ideas, please?

Aha! Pressed escape button and managed finally to close the Warning. Phew! I could then erase several hundred repeats of the mistaken address from the BCC field. Sorry to bother you all. Hellen.

In PSE 13 Organizer, is the "notes" field an actual IPTC data field or a data field only to the organizer?

I would like to access the "notes" field in multiple files and write to it. Is this possible? If so, where is the "notes" field in METADATA information?

99jon a écrit:
OK that will be interesting Michel. As far as I know the notes do not show up in Lightroom but the IPTC fields do.
About Lightroom, see what John R Ellis said :
http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshop-elements-faq.htm#_Converting_to_Lightroom
So, unless there is a plugin available now, I don't think it will be easy to recover notes from Elements when updating catalogs.
I only wanted to dispell the idea that the 'notes' in Elements are only a field in the catalog database. They are automatically written to the files in a proprietary exif section.
In the organizer, the 'notes' show under the 'general' section on top of the properties panel.
In the editor, you have to open the last 'advanced' tab in the Information panel, section 'schema'.
With an exif editor like exif viewer in Firefox, it's hidden in a section called 'album : Notes'.
About the searchability, I have no problem to find items from significant words in the notes.
