Mail switches sender's name and return address

My wife and I each have separate accounts in OS X Mail. Sometimes when she sends email, Mail incorrectly puts my name and return address as the sender of the email. At first I thought it was human error, but recently I've tested the app and discovered that Mail is indeed randomly and intermittently switching the sender name from hers to mine, even when her name appears in the New Message window. Any ideas on what could be causing this and how to remedy the situtation?

Do you have separate OS X user accounts? or just use different email accounts within OS X's Mail application?
You should be using separate OS X user accounts. Then each of you will only have your account information entered in OS X's Mail application.
I have 5 or so email accounts defined in OS X's Mail application and I always have to vigilant that messages are sent with the correct account information.

  • Getting both sender's name and e-mail adress

    How can I extract information about both the sender's name and e-mail adress? If I, for example, have an email containing the tag "From: John Doe <[email protected]>" and I use the getFrom() method in MimeMessage, I only get the first part (the name). If i try the getSender() method I get null as a result. And if i use getReplyTo() I also get only the name and not the email address. How do I get the email adress too?
    Best Regards,
    tjosan

    Retrieve and assign the From address to an Address[] object, typecast it to InternetAddress and use the getAddress() - (for email address) or getPersonal() - (for Name) methods on it
    Address[] a;
    a = message.getRecipients(Message.RecipientType.FROM);
    for(int i = 0; i < a.lenght; i++)
    String name = ((InternetAddress)a).getPersonal();
    String email = ((InternetAddress)a[i]).getAddress();

  • How can I send an email to a group in my address book, but hide the individual names and email addresses?

    how can I send an email to a group in my address book, but hide the individual names and email addresses?

    You used to be able to do this through leaving unchecked the box in preferences "when sending to a group show all member addresses". However, that feature failed some time ago (two or three years?) and the only way to hide the addresses now is to put the group in the BCC field.

    1. Double click on your composite receive activity.
    2. Go to Properties tab in your receive activity.
    3. Click "+".
    4. Window that pops up,scroll down and select "jca.ums.from" and store it in some variable say fromAddress (Make sure before adding this property u create fromAddress variable of string data type).
    5. Click OK.
    6. In the same way add property for "jca.ums.msg.content-description" from drop down and assing it to some variable.
    you are good to go.
    Hope this helps.

  • Versamail no show incoming mails sender's name and subject after ROM upgrade

    It is unlocked GSM 680 before with rom ROW 1.04 and worked quite well. After the upgrade to R01.92 1.12ROW, the incoming emails doesn't show sender's name(address) and subjects, but email content displays correctly. Don't know if the VERSAMAIL program has lost some files or modules. Anyone can help?
    Post relates to: Treo 680 (Unlocked GSM)

    I see the subject of this post specifically mentions a ROM upgrade. I didn't do a ROM upgrade but I had the same exact symptom after installing CJKOS which allows Chinese, Japanese, Korean characters be displayed on my Palm Treo. The CJKOS preferences are not in English but eventually I was able to figure out if I disable that application within that app's preferences, the sender's name and subjects are now appearing. Maybe there is something the few of you are doing that is similar?

  • How to email a list of names and email addresses?

    I have a group of about 60 people with various amounts of data in each of their Address records.
    I want to send an email to the group with a list of the names and email addresses of everyone on the list. I don't know how to do this neatly. Got any ideas?
    If I put the group name in "to" in Mail, each person gets a messy non-alphabetical list with commas. If I send a group vCard, I send more data than I want to send. If I make a printed list, I have to convert to a pdf file and send that which is not nearly a simple as a text list.
    Is there any way to export fields of my choice from Address into either text or spreadsheet format?
    I want to send a list like this, but with tabbed columns.

    Thanks,

    Thanks, Thomas for the prompt response, but the pdf method has two problems.
    First, it's got to be in landscape mode, or the email address word-wrap. That makes for a five-page list. I want to send a 60-line text list.
    Secondly, there's no way to eliminate the label (work, home, other...) from the email address field.
    I will use the pdf method if no one comes up with a better idea.

  • How to show users display name and email address in open social widget?

    Hello experts,
    Is it possible to retrieve users display name and email address with opensocial javascript e.g. Login widget seems to load user data (and userData.firstname) during the site init. Is this something that could be consumed or is there some opensocial data request that could/should be used. Any working sample widget spec would be appreciated.
    Best regards,
    Ville

    Hi Ville,
    in the logon widget, we also use the data retrevied from siteInit.loadData.data.user. However, this widget is part of the out of the box openSocial widgets, it is being released with the product code, not as a separate OS widget deployed on HANA Cloud Platform.
    If you'll do window.parent.siteInit you'll probably will get the data you are looking for, but this isn't the official public API, so you can use it but we cannot commit on keeping this structure.
    Why do you need this information in the widget level? Does your widget require authentication or is it for personalization needs?
    The best way is to retrieve this info on the java side using HAHA Cloud Platform APIs and send them back to the client.
    Look at this - SAP HANA Cloud Platform SDK >
    Package com.sap.security.um.user
    Interface:
    User
    This interface provides read access to user data and is an extension of Principal.
    UserAttribute
    The interface represents abstraction over a user general attribute, such as an e-mail address.
    UserProvider
    This interface represents the service interface which provides read access to a user implementation.

  • Script to extract names and email addresses of all recipients of an email

    Hi,
    I have found some scripts which extract email addresses from the content of messages in Mail, but I am looking for something rather different, and wonder if such a script exists, or if someone can help me build one.  I would like to create a tab delimited text file of the first name, last name and email address of all recipients of a given message in Mail.  Most email addresses will be in the format John Doe <[email protected]>.
    Thanks,
    Nick

    Hi,

    I have one outstanding issue, which wasn't included in the original question.  Sometimes email addresses are included in the Name of the recipient, i.e. instead of 'John Doe', it reads 'John Doe ([email protected])'.  Could you script be adapted to delete any block of text (i.e. space delimited) that includes the @ symbol, so that 'John Doe ([email protected])' would return:
    John<tab>Doe<tab>[email protected]

  • RE: 1) Changing name and IP address of an AIX 4.2 Server 2)Using NAT

    Daniel,
    you (normaly) just have to :
    1) edit the $FORTE_ROOT/fortedef.sh fileand change the value of variable
    FORTE_NS_ADDRESS
    2) shutdown and restart forte environment
    3) put the new values in the control panel of the client and run !
    It worked on our site with the same configuration (Aix 4.2)

    Objet : 1) Changing name and IP address of an AIX 4.2 Server 2)
    Using NAT to reach forte
    Hello Forte Users :
        I have 2 questions to make:
        1)
        I've installed a Forte Server Central Node (Release 3.0.F.2) in an
    IBM RS/6000  with OS AIX 4.2
        (The name of the server is Name_1 and the IP address is
    125.125.50.50 with mask 255.255.255.0)
        Nowadays we had to change the name and IP address of this server
    lets say to Name_2 and 125.125.60.60 with mask 255.255.255.0.
        After that we try to find any reference to old name and IP address
    in the forte directory and all of its subdirectories changing them to
    the new ones.
        After these changes we found than forte could'nt start the nodemgr
    server.
        We have too many reasons to avoid installing FORTE again.
        Does anybody know if I have to change anything more to make
    nodemgr server work.
        2)
        The second question is about NAT (Network Address Translation).
        To reach a Forte Server Central Node from a Forte Client we have
    to pass through a Firewall and NAT.
        We are researching and at this moment we can not reach the server
    from the client, has anybody any suggestion to correctly configure
    Forte (Client and Server) to use NAT between them.
        If anyone could help me I would be very pleased.
        Thank you very much in advance,

  • Importing a group of names and email addresses from EXCEL to address book

    I want to create a new group in my address book, so I can send one email to multiple addresses. I have an EXCEL document that contains the names and email addresses. Is there an easy way to import them into my address book from EXCEL?
    Thanks, Teri

    Hi,
    I'm having the same problem. I'm trying to import 300 addresses from an Excel file into Address Book. The Excel file has been converted to tab-delimited (txt). I've gone through and deleted any extra line breaks within fields, commas, etc in the addresses.
    When I go to Address Book and ask it to import the Text file, I get the dialog window showing me the fields it will import, but when I click on "OK", the program just freezes. Also, it tells me in the dialog window that it won't import specific fields like Street 2, City, State or Zip and there is information in all of those fields for every record to import.
    I've been working on this for three weeks now and am at my wits end. I have never had a database program be so difficult to work with.
    Any ideas?

  • Migrate WSUS server from 2003x86 to 2008x64, new hardware, use same name and IP address?

    Searching through the WSUS forums and reading the TechNET migration documentation, I have bits and pieces of information to make this a smooth transition...I think. I have a plan in mind but
    would like the communities input on what I am thinking before moving forward and having it blowup in my face :). <o:p></o:p>
    I have the following currently:<o:p></o:p>
    A single WSUS 3.0 SP2 server, running on Server Win2003x86, using the default WID (susdb.mdf) on the same server. I have SQL 2005 Express installed on this server as well for other services
    but this has no bearing on the WID correct?<o:p></o:p>
    What I would like to do:<o:p></o:p>
    I have a new server (a much better one) that I would like to move WSUS on to, that will be running Server Win2008x64 (I have to setup first). <o:p></o:p>
    Steps that I would like to follow:<o:p></o:p>
    1. I will go through and setup this new server with all M$ updates etc... under a new name (ex. wsusnew) and DHCP acquired IP address and then power it down. <o:p></o:p>
    2. Get on my current WSUS server and backup all current WSUS settings, groups, DB etc... to a network location for temporary storage. Then power it down.<o:p></o:p>
    3. Delete the current WSUS server computer object in AD, DNS entry I will leave because my intension is to give the same IP address to the new WSUS server.<o:p></o:p>
    4. Start the new server, static assign the IP address from the old WSUS server to this new server and then change the name of (wsusnew) to the old servers name, which should be ok sense I deleted
    the AD object in step 3.<o:p></o:p>
    5. After the obvious restart, the new server will have the same name and IP address as the old server. <o:p></o:p>
    6. Now that the new server is up (with same settings name/IP as old server), I will then go through and install the WSUS role on the server and restore my WSUS information.<o:p></o:p>
    Questions:<o:p></o:p>
    1. Step 2 above, is it possible to do this, without making replica servers? I kept reading about this as I was researching doing this, I would rather just copy the DB and folders and simply
    put them in-place on the new server.<o:p></o:p>
    2. Step 6 above, restoring of the data, what is the proper way to do this in the scenarioI described? <o:p></o:p>
    Thank you to anyone who can provide me some information.
    Jeff

    Thank you for the reply, I will follow and let you know. Proabably be next week sometime before I'm able to try though. So look for a reponse then. Thank you again.
    Jeff
    OR...
    You can use the much more simple, much more reliable, and much more proven method of:
    Install new server as a replica of the old.
    Replicate.
    Configure new server as upstream server.
    Point clients to new server.
    Turn off old server after all clients have redirected to the new server.
    For everybody that has tried the backup/restore the database procedure described above, they have encounted complications of one form or another.
    WSUS has a built-in and fully supported comprehensive replication capbility. use it! :-)
