My mail goes out with wrong (my wife's) email address

My email (I use Apple Mail via gmail.com) goes out and may indicate to the recipient that it is from my wife’s account at gmail.com. She once used my Macbook for email, but now uses her own Macbook. She is not listed as a User on my Macbook Pro. I have eliminated her account from Internet Accounts in System Preferences. I have eliminated her account from Mail Preferences, via the Accounts tab. I have eliminated her links to gmail in Keychain access. I still may have a recipient of my email receive mistakenly her email address as the sender. I do not see any references to her email in My User Library Preferences folder. In Mail Preferences, Composing Tab, my email address is listed as the one to send emails from. Any help is much appreciated.

Go into Mail's Accounts preference pane and delete the Gmail account that's there. Next add your Gmail account back with your ID and password for the account.

How can I force gmail to use my wife's email address on her mails rather than substituting mine?

I've set up SEND NEW MESSAGES FROM Account of selected mailbox, for all our email accounts. But that gets ignored almost always when my wife writes a message. It goes out under her name, but my email address is attached, not hers. Very confusing!
These are gmail accounts, using Apple Mail. If it's important, our default browser is Firefox (and no, not only because of my name).
How can I get gmail/Mail/etc under control?

So true. I feel ya!
And 10.0.x was Apple's idea, not mine. 10.0.2 should have been recorded.

Separator page prints out with wrong name when printing from Outlook 2010

Working with Windows 7 Enterprise, Outlook 2010. We've set up our desk printers to print a separator page with the user's name, as several people use the same printers in our building. Printing from IE, Word, etc. all work fine, and it'll print
out the correct username on the separator page.
When anyone attempts to print an Outlook email, it instead prints out my username. We've found that it doesn't happen if they click on the "quick print" button, but it happens every time if they do "file > Print" or Ctrl+P.

Hi
As per the information and details provided by you that separator page prints out with wrong name when printing from Outlook 2010, please follow these steps: -
To create a custom separator page file, use a text editor such as
Notepad. On the very first line, type one single character, and then press
Enter. The character on this line defines the character used as an escape character. For example, the following list assumes that this character is the at sign (@).
Enter the escape codes for the functions you want, and then save the file with an .sep extension in the Windows System32 subfolder.
In the Print Manager, select the printer that you want to use the separator page file with, and then click
Choose Properties on the Printer menu.
Click
Details, specify the name of the desired separator page file in the
Separator File box, and then click OK.
Note:
Put the custom separator page file in one of the following locations:
In the %Windir%System32 folder.
In a folder whose path contains a SepFiles folder. For example:
Drive:\Folder\SepFiles\Subfolder
I hope this information will be helpful for you.
Thanks and regards

I have not been able to sync my mail with iCloud on my MacBookPro (Lion OS). Everything else has been syncing fine for the past two months, but when I go to System Pref/iCloud/and try to check Mail, it asks me to choose an iCloud email address. When I put in my regular @me.com email, it says that address already exists (of course it does - it's mine!) and wants me to choose another one. But I want it to sync with my stuff. What can I do? I haven't been able to find help anywhere online... Thanks!

You should have signed in with that address in the first place, but there is a workaround: go to System preferences>Mail, Contacts@ Calendars and add your @me.com address as an account there.

Where does Mail keep its hidden cache of auto-complete email addresses. I am plagued with an incorrect email address I can't get rid of. Have made sure it's deleted from Contacts and made sure it's deleted from "Previous Recipients" list in Mail. But it still keeps reappearing ... obviously a secret cache file hidden somewhere?

Autocomplete has nothing to do with this problem.
From the Mail menu bar, select
Window ▹ Connection Doctor
Look for a disused SMTP (outgoing mail) account in the window that opens. Double-click it. Another window will open, showing a list of all the outgoing mail accounts. The unwanted one will be selected. Click the minus-sign button to delete it, then click OK.
If there's more than one unwanted account, repeat.

HT1918 How Do I reverse my main Apple ID email address with my Apple (iTunes) Restore email address?

How Do I reverse my main Apple ID email address with my Apple (iTunes) Restore email address?

Do the following:
Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime with your current ID. If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.) Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID). Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless using iCloud Photo Library). When finished goThen go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).

My email address seems to be linked to my wife's email address and that is stopping me from setting up my own Apple ID. How do I get over that hurdle?

Unlink your appleID from her account. Have her sign in, and remove your ID from her account. That should free it up.

Hi i have a problem with my security question verify email address

hi,
i have a problem with my security question verify email address

If Manage your Apple ID primary, rescue, alternate, and notification email addresses does not help, you can contact the Apple ID Security site from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699 or call the AppleCare support number from http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 and ask to speak with the Account Security Team.

My phone will not5 send from the correct address tht I want my mail sent from. Although my mail goes into the correct mail accout answeres leave with the incorrect sent from address.
I want to be able to send mail corectly.

In Mail Preferences/Accounts/each GMail account, set up the SMTP Outgoing Server for each account separately, going into SMTP name/edit/Advanced and specify the Username of each account. The Outgoing servers must be two different servers, authenticated by the Username and Password of each.
Otherwise, the GMail SMTP server will change the from address to that of the account where the SMTP server was setup.

HT5622 I changed my Apple password and I get the information at the wrong email address. The correct email shows in my Apple account. Why is the mail going to the wrong email? How do I fix it?

I changed my Apple password and I get the information back at the wrong email address. My email address is right under my Apple ID. How do I get this corrected?

That is good. In that case, your one and only account has not changed, just the login credentials you use for it. All your previous purchases will remain associated with that account, and the new login.
In essence, an AppleID is an email, but it has two parts. One is the login email address and password everyone traditionally thinks of as an AppleID. But that in turn is linked to an account with Apple. As long as you use the manage Apple ID portal to just change the email address and/or password for your exisiting AppleID, then the internal account tracks along with those changes as well.
However, on your iOS devices, you will need to log out and then log back in with the new login credentials:
settings -> iTunes & App Stores - tap your AppleID, and choose log out. Then log back in with the new email address and new password.

Column's Right Alignment goes out with CR in format Mask like NNN,NN0.00CR

I am working in Reports 6i. For a numeric calculated column, I give format mask NNNN,NNN,NNN,NN0.00CR. Due to CR, right alignment of the column goes out. That is rows for which CR is NOT printer are also aligned at right. A blank space should be left at the end of every row when no CR is printer. In this way numeric data is right aligned and readability is not disturbed.
Pl. help.
Thanks in anticipation.

Muhammad,
I tried this on 6.0.8.14.2 version of Reports 6i and it aligned properly (i.e., spaces where present for those values without CR). I originally had the Arial font which as you know is not a fixed font and in this case, the spacing was not exact. I switched to Courier and the output was much more readable for the numeric values, especially with the spacing.
Regards,
Jim Safcik
Thanks Jim Safcik. I changed the font of that column to Courier and it resolved the problem. But I am using Times New Roman font which creates above alignment problem.
It would be nice if we have an other solution which is NOT font dependent.
However I appreciate your guidance and knowledge.
Pl. guide.
Thanks.

Mail adds wrong name to right email address

I type in a mail address and the wrong persons name gets associated with it. I can't fix it. the mail goes to the right person but person B's name gets associated with it. It doesn't work to uncheck auto fill addresses in the mail preferences either. How do u reset and control these actions?
thx
Mail ver 3.3

David,
I too have had this problem. I think the problem occurs when an address book from one computer syncs with one from another. Things get jumbled up in the process. Wrong names get associated with email address's. Go into your address book & find the email address & I bet you will see the wrong name attached. Edit the entry & all should be well.

And, you are sure you have provided the correct username and password for you email account? I'm not familiar with Virgin media, so you might contact their tech support to find out why you are having a problem sending mail but none receiving mail. I assume your mail account has always been POP3 and not IMAP. Typically, the outgoing mail servers are not the same for the different types of account service.
