My "from" address shows up wrong when people receive my emails

I have looked at how my emails show up on friends systems -- the @mac.com is on there twice. my [email protected]@mac.com.
Under mail preferences>accounts my user name is entered correctly. Is there anywhere else that could be typed incorrectly that could be causing this problem? I do eventually get replies -- but no one thinks I do because it bounces back to them and they get an error message.
Please help -- no one wants to reply to my messages anymore

Hi CassC
In Mail 1.3.11 Preferences>Accounts
description
email address e.g. [email protected]
full name
incoming mail server
user name e.g cass
password
In the user name box, just enter your email account name as shown in the above example, ie without the @mac.com.
In the full name box put in your real name, like Bill Smith, or just Bill for better privacy. This name will appear in the 'from' field of the email when the recipient gets it.
Check that your incoming mail server and outgoing mail server's addresses are correct/
Click on Server Settings. Normally those extra boxes for username and password should be left blank.
Now if you are a .mac member, goto System Preferences and click on the .Mac icon.
There you will see your .Mac Member Name and Password
Check to see that your .Mac Member Name has just your user name, ie without the @mac.com.
Post back to let me know your progress.
regards roam

  • In Mail, the "From" line shows the wrong name associated with the email id. How do I update it?

    In Mail, the "From" line shows the wrong name associated with my email ID. I've looked over preferences and account information but have not found where I can update it.

    There isn't an email address associated with the contact name who appears as the "from" in Mail. It used to be a shared email address and I already had updated the contact to list only the phone number in case that was causing the problem.

    I talked to our email provider and they say it has to do with the way thre recipients email address book has recorded the address. They say that they need to fix the address on their end.

    I have 2 email addresses on the phone. How come only one accepts a alert tone. When I receive an email from 2nd email it does not notify me of its arrival. What am I doing wrong?

    Each email account can have its own alert or notification settings.
    Settings > Notifications > Mail > tap on each account and set the alerts you want.

    Do a reset, no data loss.  Hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.

    Ok..   see if emptying the Safari cache helps.
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
    Select:  Show Develop menu in menu bar
    Now click Develop from the menu bar. From the drop down menu click Empty Caches.
    Quit and relaunch Safari and try sharing a webpage.

  • I could not remember my apple ID password so I made a request for a new one. When I received the email with the link on resetting my password it was addressed to John Ohare. My name is not John Ohare. Does this mean someone is hacked my iCloud account?

    Hello Corinne Craven,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    You can update the name on your Apple ID here:
    Appleid.apple.com
    If you suspect unauthorized access to your apple ID I would normally recommend resetting your password, but you have already done this.
    Here is some information about 2 step verification which is another level of security for your account.
    Apple ID: Frequently asked questions about two-step verification for Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570
    Be sure to read all the information in the article if you choose to use two-step verification.
    Take care,
    Sterling

    Problem not solved.  I just received an new email from the person involved.  Same misspelled name in the "From" field.  I did as Paul_31 suggested and then quit and restarted mail.

    When I receive an email request for a meeting, when I open it I get an error message asking if I want to revert to server, try again or ignore. If I choice revert to server it deletes the event, if I choice ignore it accepts it but won't sync with my other devices.

    Interesting suggestion, but it's not clear to me how I would do that if I'm not using an "(at) icloud.com" email address/account. I am having the same problem with changed invitations that come from an organizer who is using Google Apps. My email account is hosted at my ISP - it's not obvious to me how I can use iCloud to access that email account (and therefore the changed invitation). Suggestions?

  • C# - How to get the name of account (i have 3 accounts configured at Outlook) when I receive an email?

    At my Outlook 2013 I have 3 different accounts configured (two personal and 1 professional). When I receive an email at real time I need to know which account the mail is addressed, because I only want to work with the professional account!
    I use outlook.NewMailEx += new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.ApplicationEvents_11_NewMailExEventHandler(olApp_NewMailEx);   It is ok to get body, sender, subject
    but I cannot find the account name ! Example - my customer
    [email protected] sends one email for my account
    [email protected], and a friend sends an email to my personal account
    [email protected] At my application I want only to process the [email protected] and I cannot discover this account name on the mail received! thks

    Here is my code and what is strange, there are incoming mails (I see them at upper corner and at inboxes) with zero recipients, giving me the message below. So I will give up and change ,at Outlook accounts configuration ",display names"
    to the valid address names (ie Instead Manuel Costa I will put
    [email protected]), so I can use the mail.To property!
    private string GetSenderSMTPAddress(Outlook.MailItem mail)
                   string smtpAddress = "";
                   if (mail.Recipients.Count > 0)
                       string teste = OlMailRecipientType.olTo.ToString();
                       foreach (Outlook.Recipient recip in mail.Recipients)
                           Outlook.AddressEntry entry = recip.AddressEntry;
                           if (entry.Type == "EX")
                               smtpAddress = GetSMTPAddressViaOutlookObjectModel(entry);
                       return smtpAddress;
                   else
                       MessageBox.Show("no recipients");
                       return "";
    Thanks anyway Eugene

  • HT3228 I have one of the origin iPads. Suddenly when I receive an email only the headings are shown - the body of the text is blank. Also previously received emails have also had the text body removed. Any suggestions as to what caused this?

    I have one of the original iPads. Suddenly (from yesterday) when I receive an email only the headings are shown - the body of the text is blank. Also previously received emails have also had the text body removed. Any suggestions as to what caused this?

    Try this.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

    Hello.  I have AV player hd.  When I touch and hold the Quicktime icon that is in a received mail message, a prompt comes up "Open in AVPlayerHD".  I click on that and a black screen opens up with the following on it:
    1--A red line at the top with a short white slider button on the right hand side.  There is a time listed at each end of the red line that says 00:00
    2--On the left hand side of the screen, near the middle, there are 4 icons, a colored 'x', a dialogue icon, a circular arrow and an 'i' in a circle.
    3--On the right hand side there is a + and a - sign with '1.00x' in the middle of the two.
    4--At the bottom of the black screen is a play icon plus forward and fast forward icons.
    When I press the play icon it changes to a stop icon.
    So, even though I have AV player I cannot play this Quicktime slideshow.
    Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.
