Mail won't autofill when sending to Company!

I have discovered a weird problem, auto fill is working fine on all my contacts, but when I start typing a Company Name mail won't auto fill it from the Address Book.
Any Ideas!

Yes Matt, you are correct. It will change the way it's displayed in the list.
Actually, it should work either way if filled in with a company name also. Seems though that something in the way the contact fields are entered would be the problem.
After checking mine and changing an address with a company involved every way I could think of, mine will autofill by person name or company name no matter how I arrange it.
And, it does autofill with only a company name in that field without a first and last name. With only a company name, the company name field automatically defaults to being checked when saved. And, it does autofill. At least it does for me.

Mail won't fetch or send

Hi - can't figure out what has happened to my Mail. It won't fetch or send mail from my BT account. I have checked and double checked the account settings but they sem fine. Also can receive and send mail from this account on my iPhone so I'm baffled.
I don't get an error message it just whirls away for a while and then the warning triangle appears.

This happened to me with Thunderbird mail it just keeps saying it cant connect but apple mail has same server settings put in to collect my sky mail and that does it.
Its annoying as Thunderbird mail has loads of smileys i like to use and I cant find any to work with apple mail except some in Text expander Free Trial but it adds them as attachments.
I have had probs with my apple mail sometimes it wasnt doing anything i just thought maybe i didnt have any mail to collect but when it did it 2 days running i logged into sky and found I had loads there!
I just downloaded mail again from apple site i thought maybe it just needs updating and its working at minute. But I do miss my smileys Wish they would put some in apple mail for us so we at least get a choice if we do want some!

HHHHHEEEEELLLLPPPPP!!!!! Mail won't let me send! I HAVE to get emails out!!

I am a finalist in a nation-wide fiction contest, winner gets a publishing contract. Winner is the one w/ the most internet vets. So today I was sending out lots and lots of group emails and suddenly Mail stopped letting me email anything at all. I can get incoming but cannot send out. My husband thinks .Maac thinks I'm a spammer and cut me off. Meanwhile, NO ONE replies from .Mac for days. There's no freaking phone number (uh, hello. Get in the 21st freaking century, Apple). And I will LOSE this contest if I can't send out my emails. Anyone know what I can do about this??? I am starting to loathe apple. This is not the first time that Mail has really given me problems lately...
You can email me at [email protected] if you have any suggestions! thanks!

You're welcome.
No ISP or email account provider that I'm aware of provides a warning when you are about to reach their sending limits/restrictions.
after all, who the ** reads the entire handbook for .Mac
subscription services?!
Probably not too many but the "entire handbook" for a .Mac account is only a couple of pages at most which is the same with any ISP or email account provider and it is a customer's responsibility to do so and when we don't read all or at least a good portion of it, we don't have too much room to complain IMO.
I wish I understood what you meant by trying to get around this,
but I am too technologically dwarfed to comprehend it.
Who is your internet service provider that you use for connecting to the internet? Certainly your ISP provides an email account and SMTP server to use for their customers and if so, you can create an email account with your ISP (if you don't already have one) which you can access with the Mail application to receive and send messages with this account.
After creating your ISP's email account with the Mail.app, you can try selecting your ISP's SMTP server to send messages with your .Mac account which may get around the .Mac account restriction (which will be reset at midnight) or use your ISP's email account to send these messages but your ISP probably has a similar sending restriction. My ISP has a total number of recipients for all messages sent in a 24 hour period restriction which is higher than the .Mac account restriction.
Can I dodge this by sending things as blind copies?
No you can't. The restriction is for all recipients placed in the To:, Cc: or Bcc: fields. If not, all a spammer would need to do to send bulk spam mailings out to a unlimited number of recipients with a .Mac account is by using the Bcc: field. Most spammers use the Bcc: field anyway but spammers do not use email accounts with such limited restrictions and/or use a large number of email accounts to get around it.

Mail app is crashing when sending e-mail from Yahoo

When sending an e-mail from the Mail app, the "Sending..." bar shows up, and then the application shuts down and puts me back at the home screen.
The email gets through though.
(Using Yahoo to send)

I, too, was having the same problem of blacking out and returning to home each time I sent an email with Edge. I put the phone to sleep, did a hard reset and re-added my account several times. Each time I came back to mail the message was waiting to be sent again. I finally checked my sent mail and it showed up as being sent 22 times. Apparently you should check the sent folder to make sure if it went through or not before trying again.

Mac mail won't receive or send on iTouch

I was sending and receiving with no problems until the end of August. Then, mac mail on the iTouch stopped sending mail. I tried changing my password, and now it won't receive mail either.

Did you have a MobileMe account? Did you convert/ transition to iCloud?

Mail won't work when VPN is connected

I use VPN to blog for a newspaper, from home. I don't access the company's internal mail system--I just use VPN to get through security and use wordpress on the in-house servers.
But when I connect with VPN, mail stops working (for gmail, verizon.net, hotmail). I otherwise have full access to the internet; I can get gmail through the web, for example. But since I use Mail extensively, I'd like to be able to have it and VPN active at the same time.
My current workaround is just to use VPN for posting, then I get out. But this is a big hassle. Is there a mail setting that I can change that will let it work while (Cisco) VPN is active?
(I'm a freelancer using my own iMac, so I get no tech support from work.)

http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/11941.html
Any chance that you have "Send all traffic over VPN connection" enabled ?
I use the OSX internal VPN to connect to my Office PC and can use Mail while VPN-connected.

Mail won't update when I'm not using it..

Hi guys,
I have been having some trouble with my Mail, I use hotmail and the mail app on iPhones just recently it hasn't been updating when I'm not in the app, so I have been missing a lot of emails and they haven't been showing and only show when I go on the app and refresh it manually! It used to do it automatically but now it's stopped, I might of clicked something on settings but I'm not sure what! Not sure if this makes a difference I put on airplane mode through the night (something I have always done anyway) when I first turn off all the mail comes through automatically then from the night time however after this I get nothing without manually going into the app! If anyone can help me sort this I would be very grateful.

Apple Mail and gmail bug when sending attachment?

Hi,
And now for my own Mail question. Wondering if others have run into this bug?
Mac OS 10.5 MacBook Pro.
There seems to be a bug when trying to send Mail with an attachment (via a gmail account).
Over and over, Mail just hangs there.
But it works when:
1. Using Mail, the same email can be sent when I Remove the attachment.
2. Skipping Mail, and using gmail itself, the email and attachment are sent within seconds.
2. Email with attachment can also be sent from another email service (such as Earthlink).
Only when I am using Apple Mail, sending via gmail, With an attachment, is there a hitch.
Thanks again for your attention,
- Ross

Perhaps this problem is confined to Mail 3.0 and later, and Leopard. I cannot send attachments using gmail as the smtp server. I can log in to my gmail account, download an attachment, and send, with no problem as Ross has experienced. I get an eternal hang when trying to send the same message with an attachment from Mail. Any solutions yet? Thanks!

Apple Mail seems to stall when sending messages

I've had a problem for a few days now with my Apple mail. When I compose and send a message, it seems to stall and stays in my Outbox for ages. The spiral wheel spins continuously but the message doesn't get sent. In a few cases, the mail has taken 24 hours to send. I called my ISP and they said all my connections were fine - and that it was a problem with Apple mail.

+VERY FRUSTRATING!!! FIX THIS APPLE!+
Unfortunately, these are user to user forums and no one from Apple will be replying to you. Also, please do not use all caps - it is considered shouting. And, since very few users are reporting this problem, it would appear to have something to do with your setups rather than a problem Apple needs to fix.
For both of you: There is obviously some problem with your software or hardware; you might want to try either to delete your mail account and recreate it (in Mail -> Preferences) and/or quite Mail and go to Users -> Library -> Preferences and delete this file: com.apple.Mail.plist. Please note: doing so will necessitate recreation/set up of Mail, so it would be advisable to take screen shots of all of your settings in your account(s) so you can easily copy them if necessary.

Mail displays a code when sending a picture from Photobooth. Any ideas ?

Hello everyone,
I have a problem since I bought my MacBook pro (Os X Lion 10.7.5) :
When I am sending a picture from Photobooth by clicking on the "email" icon, the receipient of the mail can't see the picture but just a code.
(For example : "ª◊} ÿåäa≈”Q®K ! ÜË.0T˛≠")
Any suggestions ?
Thank you very much for your answer.
Antoine.

Anyone has had this problem yet ?

Mail 2.0 crashing when sending message and opening mailbox

I've had a weird problem for a few weeks now that I've finally replicated.
I have about 7 accounts that are all active. Mail stops responding when I compose a message and click "send" and then go to another mailbox. It starts to open the mailbox, and starts to send the message (sometimes completing the send), but hangs in the Beach Ball of Death state. I force quit, and reopen. The mailbox selected opens with no problem, and then the message sends (sometimes twice if it actually completed before the crash.)
I have tried reducing the mailbox sizes of every inbox and outbox involved to almost nothing, rebuilding indexes, removing attachments, etc. Nothing seems to work.
iBook G4 12" Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Ohhhhh, if you have something to fix it... I'd be most grateful! Mailtags rocks my world, and I'd be lost without it.
(for those who might be reading this post for reference -- here's what we're talking about: http://www.indev.ca/MailTags.html )
Will you post a reply to this thread when the update is out, so I can get it?

Problems with attachments going corrupt from Mail in the dock when sending?

I have had my Mac G5 Tower at home now for a couple of years now and have always had a problem with sending attachments to any one from my .mac account with mail in the dock.
The error massage people would tell they were getting from the files that I attached were (The file is damaged and cold not be repaired). I also tried emailing the same attachment to my self and got the same results.
I always got around this at home by emailing the attachments via web .mac account from apple’s web site this is not an ideal solution.
Using the same .mac account and mail from the dock on my Mac at work no problems at all.
I thought by upgrading from panther to tiger that this would help, I am still having the same trouble.
Can anyone out there help.
Thanks

Dual 1.8 Ghz PowerPC G5 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Thank you Justin for your response. Sorry for the delay in responding. I have been unable to log in to my forum account since the first time even though I'd verified my user name, reset the password (everything I could think of). Many hours (literally) on hold with almost every support department at Verizon hasn't resolved the login problem...so I've created a new username with my other email address. I know that creating a new account probably isn't the kosher solution, but my frustration level with Verizon phone suport on this has gone over the top as no one department seems to claim any knowledge of how to help with forum issues and passes me off to somewhere else.
I am using IE 7.0. I only have the problem when I am viewing my emails via the Verizon webmail. When I download the emails to Outlook on my desktop, there are no problems. In webmail, if I have an email showing in the preview pane that has links and I click on that email (in the preview pane), the linked website opens and I can't close it or do anything else. I can't even switch to viewing other emails in my inbox in the preview pane. I can right click on the email showing in the preview pane and select to open in a new window, but if I left click the link activates right there in the preview pane.

Mail application freezing / crashing when sending mail

I've posted about this in other threads too, but decided to post about it as a new thread to see if anyone else has also experienced this.
I upgraded by first gen iPhone to firmware 2.0, and in general everything seems to be working fine with the exception of the minor lag issues that others have also reported when typing messages or selecting items in some scenarios.
The one annoying thing I have noticed though is that the mail application has now crashed twice, seemingly randomly when I've typed an email and then tried to send it. I don't know if the size of the message or length of time actually played into it but they were both on the long side. This happened from my Gmail IMAP account. Basically as soon as I clicked send it showed the sending bar at the bottom and then became unresponsive. It should be noted that the mail app was unresponsive and that the phone and the OS still seemed to be working as I could either force the app to quit or go into standby and then resume, which also seemed to kick it back to the launcher.
These two events were separated by about two days and a restore "as a new phone" (just to eliminate all possibility that the previous crash was caused by any flaw in the backed up settings). Also I'd successfully sent about 15 test emails back and forth in the interim without issue, and later in the same night also sent an email successfully to the same person.
At this point the issue seems random, for all I know it may never happen again, but given that when it does happen I seem to annoyingly lose the email I was typing; I thought I'd bring it up here to see if anyone else has experienced it.
In general the other functions of the phone and the apps all seem to be stable so at this point I would suspect the mail app itself or maybe a fluke with Goolge's servers rather than an issue with the phone.

I think the send receive issues and the issues I'm mentioning may be slightly different. The sending issue (based on another thread on the same subject) may have to do with "incorrect" SMTP server settings for a given account. From the sound of it, this issue will crash the app every time.
The random freezing I'm talking about seems to be general instability in the mail app itself since version 2. It's very possible that these two issues may be related in some ways. While at times the app is totally fine, I've had it freeze randomly a couple of times while simply flicking through an email. While this seemed totally random, I suppose it could have been linked to some of the background syncing operations that mail does. For example, as I was browsing through the mail the app tried to initiate a background sync, froze, and to me it appeared to be a random freeze.
While I could see someone dismiss this as a fault with my specific iPhone. I should mention that I never had this happen before 2.0, that it is the only app in 2.0 that has exhibited this specific behavior, and that every time it has happened it is the app that has crashed and not the phone itself. In other words, I can always do a forced quit back out to the OS and everything is fine. I actually have not experienced any of the random phone resetting issues that some people have noted, so as far as the OS is concerned, things seem stable in my case.
