Managing email address shared by multiple contacts

I have a number of contacts where a single email address is shared across the multiple contacts. For example, for my kids and nieces/nephews, I have contacts for them, but the email address belongs to my wife or another parent. The adults have their own contacts with the same email address.
So on iOS7, I've noticed that -- for example -- when I receive an email from my wife, Mail may list her by one of my kids' names in the FROM field. If I view the same email message on my mac, the From properly shows my wife's name.
I never noticed this behavior before iOS7.
Any thoughts or remedies?
Thanks

I coach a few youth teams and I get lists of kids on the roster that I use for communicating. Most of the kids have their parents' email address associated with their contacts. I could certainly delete the email from these contacts and just send to the parents, or I could live with the FROM being in the kids name when the parent sends the email. Just curious why I am noticing this behavior after the iOS7 upgrade when I haven't before.

Need to have multiple email addresses added for a contact

Looking for a way to add multiple Email addresses for a single contact. Anybody have an idea of how to go about this?

I would create a new field text long to accommodate for this.

I have two Iphones with different email addresses sharing one Apple ID. Will that cause problems with using messaging and FaceTime?

I have two Iphones 5 with different email addresses sharing one Apple ID account.Both are using IOS 8.
I would like to set up a new Apple Id for one of the phones and remove it from the old account.
If I do that, can I move all of the purchased apps and songs to the new Apple account?
Also, will sharing one Apple ID account with two devices cause problems with using messaging and FaceTime?

Sharing an iCloud account between two devices can be done without causing issues with iMessage and FaceTime, just go into Settings for each of these functions and designate separate points of contact (i.e. phone number only, or phone number and unique email address). While that works, you'll then face the problem where a phone call to one iPhone will ring both if on the same Wi-Fi network -- but again, that can be avoided by changing each phone's settings.
Rather than do all that, don't fight it -- use separate IDs for iCloud. You can still use a common ID for iTunes purchases (the ID for purchases and iCloud do not have to be the same) or you can use Family Sharing to share purchases from a primary Apple account.

HT2486 How can I send an email to all of the email addresses associated with one contact? Similarly, in regard to group lists, how do you include for distribution all email addresses associated with each contact in the group?

Often times there are multiple email addresses associated with a single contact in address book. How can I included all of these email addresses when creating an address book group?

Don't be surprised.
Apple offers free, basic Mail and Address Book apps and creates paid, more sophisticated solutions, also allowing Developers to provide more sophisticated solutions for sale in the marketplace.
When I need to repeatedly email to multiple contacts, I create a blank draft email, and use the Address Book button to list the appropriate address book group. With the Address Book window open, it's easy to click to add multiple email addresses for a single contact name. Each is added to the message email address list. Then I save that blank email to iCloud Drafts, and it retains the email addreses I've entered. Next time I need to send a message I double-click on it in Drafts to open it, and drag it to one of my other email accounts to add Subject and details, then send from the other account.

HT1349 How do I transfer my Comcast email addresses to my iPad contacts?

How do I transfer my Comcast email addresses to my iPad contacts?

Sync them via iTunes from the contact manager on your computer (that's Address Book if you're a Mac user or Outlook if you're a Windows user).

HT204150 How do I change my default email on the "Me" contact from a Facebook email to my normal email address in the same contact? Or at least change it for the autofill information?

How do I change my default email on the "Me" contact from a Facebook email to my normal email address in the same contact? Or at least change it for the autofill information?
Perfernece for contact to change. Do I just have to dis-associate my contact fromt the facebook account? Is only the autofill changable?

If you allow Facebook to access your contacts and you have the @facebook.com email alias turned on, it will add the @facebook.com email to your contact info, and because it has the fixed label of "email" it overrides every other email address.
They didn't fix this in iOS 8.
There are two ways to remove the @facebook.com email from your contact info:
If you don't need your Facebook friends and their info updating your contacts, go into iOS Settings -> Facebook and turn off access to Contacts.
If you don't use your @facebook.com email address (all it does it forward to the primary email address) you can go into the Facebook app, More -> Settings -> General -> Email -> and uncheck "Use your Facebook email". Removing it from Account Emails does not work, you have to turn it off. Once you do this, go to iOS Settings -> Facebook and turn Contacts off and on again to make it update your info. The @facebook.com address should be removed.

I want to use Mac Mail for my work email address, which containts multiple outbound options (i.e. hr@, me@ etc). Is there a way to set up Mac Mail to have an account with multiple outbound addresses rather than adding in multiple accounts?

This sounds like the age old problem with keychain & Safari. I don't know of a way to solve it without using something like 1Password.
The iOS app has it's own built in browser, so it has more control over what gets autofilled. Safari on OS X has an 1Password extension that handles account selection & autofill etc.
Keychain is great in principle, but it quickly falls down when you need tight integration with many ID's & different use cases (work, home etc).
I'd suggest you submit feedback to Apple about your thoughts. I did so years ago about this issue & this is how far we have come (back to the point where me.com synced passwords) :^)

Other tools like lastpass or keypassx may also help if you want to truly segregate password storage, but that doesn't fix autofill, the way around that issue is to dedicate one browser for work.

Hi Anne,
I'm pretty sure different eMail addies are needed for different Apple IDs.

Cant sign into iTunes with VPP manager email address

Is anyone else having difficulty signing into iTunes with their Apple VPP account manager email address? I work as an IT contractor for a number of schools and in the past have set up VPP so that paid and free apps can be distributed via an MDM solution. Recently, the process by which we do this isn't working any more. Apple have admitted in emails that they have changed the way that VPP accounts are set up on their end and that during the transition some accounts were processed incorrectly (causing a lot of headaches and confusion). In one instance, we set up the VPP manager account using a distribution list email address of .*******. later, we enabled two step verification and provisioned the facilitator account. but when we sent to sign into the iTunes store with the management accounts email address, we got the error message: "this email is associated with he VPP program". We have told apple about this who replied with a frustrating tautology: "our records indicate that that address is associated with the VPP program, so you will have to use another email address to sign into iTunes." Trouble is, for the purposes of information management, we cant just sign into iTunes with any old email address, we have to use one provisioned by the education department, and they wont provision another email address for this.. Also, we have screenshots which demonstrate that it is possible to sign into iTunes with the program manager account at other schools, so what has changed? If this keeps up, I will have no choice but to recommend to all schools in future that they not go with Apple because their account provision system is not maintained at a professional level. The fact that they are so slow moving on this makes me look bad and the lack of documentation is inexcusable given the massive profits they have been posting. I will campaign vehemently against the use of apple in education unless this situation changes for the better. Already one school on our books have had an absolute gut-full of and have sold off the 60 iPads they purchased in favor of Android tablets with custom ROMS. What is the solution and why is there no phone number for Apple VPP in Australia?
<Edited by Host>

I know this post is over a year old. We setup our VPP account in Feb last year. It's very frustrating.
This is what I wrote to Apple.
This whole system *****!!!!
Seriously. I sign up under the old system and now we have to go through more doors to get in than a gold refinery.
You honestly think your product is worth this much pain. Get real!!!
I work at a school as THE ONLY IT Support Officer. I setup a generic user account for VPP under the old system so that the account was not tied to my name just in case I left or someone else had to take over the role. Now we cant use that account to manage the VPP account. We have to create other admin accounts. Trouble is, most of us already have our personal emails attached to iTunes accounts, AND YOUR SYSTEM WON'T LET US USE THESE ACCOUNTS TO BE ADMINS FOR OUR VPP ACCOUNT BECAUSE THEY ARE ALREADY ATTACHED TO AN ITUNES ACCOUNT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now I'm home and I can't remember my logon password and cant recall my recovery key because it's all back at work on a system I cant access until 2 weeks from now when the school holidays are over.
Well done Apple, you managed to make Microsoft look good!
The generic email account we setup is a distribution list account for the purposes of adding and removing people as needed. Apples change now means that we have to create more email accounts. I won't be doing that any time soon, I already have 5 and not about to create moer.
I too will not be recommending that schools go with Apple products. They are a consumer product, not an enterprise product. The promise you the world and all you get is pain.

Managing multiple email addresses for the same contact

Hi
I have set up a group so I can email multiple people at once using the usual method. However, when I put the 'xx group' in the Bcc, it mails them fine, but where I have more than one address for the contact, it picks one without asking me.
How do I set it so it always chooses a certain (main) address? For one, it sent it one of two addresses I had listed as 'home', on another it sent it to an address I had listed as 'work'.
They also appeared in different positions on the card, e.g. it is not sending tit to the first one it sees on the card.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Mark

found the answer somewhere else:
When sending a message to a Group and a Group member (or members) has multiple email addresses, the following was copied from Address Book Help.
Choose Edit > Edit Distribution List.
Select the group whose addresses you want to manage.
Click the pop-up menu (column header) to choose which type of information you want to manage—phone number, email address, or street address.
Select the address or phone number you want to use for each member with multiple addresses or phone numbers.

Ability to add multiple email addresses to the same contact person

Hello SRM Experts,
I have a question in SRM 5.0
In "Personal Data" tab of "Employee Data" in Manage Business Partner, we have the ability to add multiple email address. But only one email can be selected as standard.
We have a new requiremnt that more than one email address has to be selected. Which means, when a bid invitation is published, the email notification has to go to all the email addresses from that list.
How can this be achieved?
Any information would be appreciated.
Thank you

By default the system send intimation to only one email id to the contact person.
If you want to be send to the multiple email id for a contact person. you need to implement the same in the BADI..
Try to find the BADI which is called on save of Bid invitation. You can check of the 'Published' status in the BADI method and fire the emails as required.
Regards,
Ramesh

Ability to send email to multiple email addresses of the same contact perso

Hi All,
We are using SRM 5.5.
In "Personal Data" tab of "Employee Data" in Manage Business Partner, we have the ability to add multiple email address. But only one email can be selected as standard.
We have a new requirement that when a bid invitation is published, the email notification has to go to all the email addresses from that list. i.e to pick up as many email addresses as are stored in the contact (personal data) screen in the Manage Partner tab.
This changes also applies to the change and republication process of bid invitation when click on u2018inform bidder u2018 button.
Any information would be appreciated.
Regards,
S K.

One option is the following:
1. Go to SPRO and locate "define actions for document output"; select the "processing types" for BBP_PD_BID. Look at the "Smart Form Mail" processing class / method. If it is the standard class CL_PD_BID_PROCESSING_BBP, change it to one of your own Z class and method. (You could make copy of the standard CL_PD_BID_PROCESSING_BBP class.)
2. Modify the method PROCESS_BBP_BID_MAI_BCS of your Z class; locate the comment "Create and send email" and make changes to that section to add more email recipients of that contact person.

Can i send to multiple email addresses for the same contact

I coach a baseball team and I want to create contacts under the kids' names with email addresses for both parents listed. Can I send email to multiple email addresses listed inside the same contact? I hope this makes sense.
Thanks!

You can do it individually, but it can also be done with Groups in Contacts, but you will need to create two or more groups. Once you have created the Groups in Contacts, drag the contacts that have multiple email addresses into each group. Then, select Edit Distribution List… from the Edit menu in Contacts.
For each group, select one address or the other for each contact. Do the same for the other group.
When you address an email, add both Groups to the address field in Mail.

Contacts: Specify which email address to use in Contact Group?

I have a few mailing lists that I keep in Contacts. However, I have multiple email addresses for some of these contacts. When I send an email to the list, the wrong email address will be used for some of the contacts. Is it possible to specify a default email address for a contact? Or a way to specify which email address of a contact should be used for each Contact group?
Thanks!

Yes.
So select the group in Contacts. Then choose Edit->Edit Distribution List... and you can pick which of the emails you want to use for the group in question.
It took me a while to find it, but I've done it before so I managed to turn it up

Can't change email address in 4.0 Contact book

I need to change my email address in the Sharing palette of the Contact book (as accessed from the Photo Browser). When I highlight my address in the recipient list and then go to Edit, I get a message saying "This contact is used by a print recipient in the Order Prints palette. To edit this contact, select it in the Order Prints palette and edit it using the Order Prints palette's Edit button." So, I go to the Order Prints palette (as accessed from the Photo Browser) and go to the recipients list. My information including the email address is in the "default" section - first in list. This information is the correct email address so I don't need to change that one. (Note: I can't remember how I got it in the default section in the first place). I tried to just delete the email address so that I could then edit it in the Sharing palette recipient list, but when I delete each line of my information and leave that page, it has not been deleted. I assume it has something to do with the fact that it is a default address. How do I get rid of my contact information as the default or is there another way to change my email address in the Sharing recipient list without having to do something in the Order Prints recipient list. I called the Help desk, but they don't support Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0 anymore. Thank you.

Basically, I have fixed the problem by just
putting in my new email address and leaving the
old one in there because I can't seem to delete
it. I go to Edit - Contact Book, and highlight
my old email address in the list and click on
Delete. I get a message box saying:
"One or more selected contacts have matching
Order Prints recipients. Before you can delete
this contact, you must first delete the recipient
from the Order Prints palette." So I go to the
Order Prints palette, and my old email address
isn't even in there. I had changed it over a year
ago to my new one. Very strange. The bottom
line is; that I can't delete my old email address
from the recipient list, but since I added my new
one, I can live with it that way. Since this
Photoshop program is set up with Kodak Gallery,
it might be the Kodak Gallery part of the process
that is not letting me do this. (I just want my
address in there to email a photo to myself once
in awhile to see how it comes up.) I have no
problem deleting and editing other peoples'
addresses. I have Adobe Photoshop 4.0, which I
know is quite old and now has no online support,
but it still does what I want. Thanks for your response.
