Name sender mail app

Hello Everybody.
I have an issue with mi mail app (version 5.3) on my 10.7.5 MB pro.
The issue is Mail app cannot send a email with a different Email Address. ( I've changed, in preferences, accounts: email name - 2nd field )
When i send an email, the email sender is the original email address, bot not the name email changed.
In other iMac, with Mail app (version 4.6 and 10.6.8 Mac OS X), it's doesn't happend.
How can i fix it?
Thanks for all.

I am fighting with the same problem. In conversation mode my reply shows me as "From" on the left pane. I switched to Classic view which makes life a bit easier as I can see the "Subject" line and guess that this is an email I'm searching for. Can't find the way to put name of the Sender who started conversation in the info summary on the left.

Some idiot made an illegal folder name in mail.app on our server...

Hi.
Some one in our office accidently created some mail folders on our OSX 10.9 server that contains illegal characters.
And now we can't remove/change/rename/move or do anything with them.
The log says thing like
2014-01-10 18:17:13,045 Mail[1049]: Failed to decode the IMAP mailbox name VV13 342 S Boden Vittja&Awg-rv resturang
6 530 x 2 050 bredd * h&APY-jd mm (BxH)
VV13 342 S Boden S Vittja&Awg-rv resturang
Mail.app says:
IMAP-kommandot ”DELETE” failes with server error: Error in IMAP command DELETE: Missing '"'.
Example of one of the folder names:
VV13 342 S Boden Vittja&Awg-rv resturang
6 530 x 2 050 bredd * h&APY-jd mm (BxH)
VV13 342 S Boden S Vittja&Awg-rv resturang
I have no ide how they managed to create it since it should be impossibe. But they did 3 folder with this type of names.. How the heck do I remove them? I would need to find the folder in terminal and then remove it manually. But I cant figure out how to identify the folder in OSX server 10.9.
any ideas?
thanks

Get your mailstore path with
sudo serveradmin settings mail:imap:partition-default
You can go ahead and remove or rename the bad folders.. it won't bother dovecot at all.
Note:
All imap start with a dot "." , so they are invisible normally.
Subfodlers are separeted with a dot, so you might have
.2014
.2014.Dec
.2014.Nov
In this case, 2014 is a folder, then Dec and Nov are subfolders.
If you rename the folder, make sure it starts with a dot.

Display company name in mail.app?

Is this possible to display the name of company (and not the address e-mail or the name and first name) in reception of e-mail in mail.app?
I use Address Book...

Ah - ok
In Address Book, click on a contact and click "Edit". In that window, you will see First & Last Name at the top, company, and a checkbox that says company, if you tick that, it will allow you to enter a company name for that contact. (see below)
Before:
After (ticking the checkbox)
Is that what you wanted?

"Cannot Send Mail" App has the smtp address wrong.

After upgrading my 3GS Iphone to OS 5.0.1, I have been an error msg when trying to send mail:
"Cannot Send Mail" - No password provided for [email protected]
The account is setup properly in settings as "SMTP.Comcast.net"
I have deleted the account and set it up again several times. No luck!
Does anyone else see this error?
Any help?

Go into Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>your account>Outgoing mail Server SMTP>Primary Server then turn Server ON and fill in both User Name +Password under Outgoing Mail Server.

Autofill refuses to enter one name in MAIL app. Only one name.

I write emails to my business manager about 20 times a day. Since the latest OS X upgrade, MAIL autofill won't recognize the name when I type it into the "to" field. After I type the entire lengthy email address, it displays the short nickname (but that defeats the whole purpose!) No problem with ANY other names.
I have tried deleting the name from the Previous Recipients list (it freezes). I have deleted the email address from my Address Book app, then re-entered it manually with a different name. It works once, then displays the same problems.
Yes, I have repaired permissions. I bought a new laptop a month ago. When I transferred data from old to new... the problem followed!
Please, oh please, someone help me.
Thanks!

Mail app adds contact twice

When I start typing in a particular contact's name in Mail.app in Mavericks, Mail correctly auto-suggests the intended contact. In this case I started typing Anthony (see first screen shot). I confirm the suggestion by hitting the return key. On other contacts that simply fills in the contact's email address. On this particular contact, it fills in his name twice, sending him two copies of the email if I don't delete one of them (see second screen shot).
There aren't duplicate copies of this contact in the Contacts.app. He is being pulled in via Exchange server, so I can't delete the contact and attempt to enter him again. I don't have any groups set up.
Any thoughts on what could cause this?
Thanks,

I seem to have the same issue as well c1natra
I have verified that I haven't entered in some "Text Shortcut" in the Keyboard system preferences that would be doing this as well.
Very curious.
Again, anyone have any suggestions?

Exchange and mail.app

Has anyone had this issue with a MS Exchange server? On a Mac I am able to send mail out to any email address using Outlook Web Access but using the same exchange server with a POP account and Mail.app I cannot send mail outside the school district(@af.k12.wi.us). When I try, I get "The message could not be appended to the Outbox".
Is this a problem with the Exchange server setup or Mail.app account? How do I fix it?

We also use Intermedia.net and I've yet to get mail.app and Exchange to work together. The KB and support offer very little more than what you see posted here already. The "Mail for Mac OSX" are not even close to being accurate for our dedicated hosting plan (we don't have mail.domain.com type names).
Mail.app doesn't give you much to go on either... I plug in the information and it just never connects or never goes online. If I open up the Activity window I see it try and connect but then just drops the connection. No failed password or other error message.
Anyone else have any experience with Intermedia or success with Exchange?

Exchange and Mail.app 3.1 Can this work?

I am desperately trying to not have to run a VM Windows machine and am trying to get my email from my exchange server. Is there a tutorial on how to do this somewhere?
I see the Exchange option when setting up the account but that is where I seem to have problems.
I get these instruction for Entourage from Intermedia
When I look at the Mail setup I see OWA settings? What is that? (Outlook Web Access?)

Cannot send email with Mail app-..can't connect to AOL server anymore??

Up until today my MAIL app in my iMac let me use an email address that is from the AOL.com group (netscape.net)…I cannot send emails now because I can't get the computer to connect to the server. My iPad will….but not the desktop. I tried using a different server name; smtp.nestcape.net, which is the one I used in the iPad…but the iMac won't let me change it to that one..so back to the old smtp.aol.com……Still my MAIL app is not recognizing this or letting me connect!?!. I tried creating a new password at the wedpage of that email account.. successfully..but it has made no difference. I am stumped and have wasted half the day trying to deal with this. Anyone else have such an experience? HELP…PLEASE!

Thank you Eric for sending the links. Fortunately after I wrote this post…I don't know what happened but I filled in my mail preference settings for the umteenth time with my new email password and voila! It worked. For some reason however…now when I open the Mail App I do still get a prompt asking me if I want to use this server….and it is, of course, the one and only I have listed.!?!?! The thing that irritates me…is…that I had done NOTHING to cause a problem to begin with. I think my email account at aol (nestcape) may have been hacked and my password stolen or compromised in some way??...and perhaps that caused a glitch in my mail app??? I am no techy, but I should have started out with my intuition and changed the password first before going mental….When something like this happens it makes one feel so vulnerable.…I usually feel well secured with my lone iMac and now my new iPad…ANYWAY…thank tyou for addressing my issue and I have bookmarked those links…for future reference which I hope I never need. Hey..is that your kitty??? She is beeeooootiful!
Take care and again, thanx~ D

Mail.app: I can't send attachment with "space" in filename

Hi.
I've this kind of problem. I think it is Mail.app problem. The mail isn't sent if the attachment's filename contains "space" (eg: "file name.pdf").
The same email is sent finw if I use Thunderbird with the same SMTP server (Leopard Server) and from the same machine.
If the recipinets in local (not relayed over internet) it works well. Otherwise the SMTP server tell me it have lost connection whith relay server (ISP SMTP server).
I've used Lotus domino Server as SMTP server with the same result.
If I cut the "space" (' ') in the attachment's filename Mail.app works fine as well.
HELP!
thanks.
P.S.: sorry for my english

There is a bug which causes the filenames of attachments with a space or an accented character in the name to have characters appended to the filename extension; it may be that it also sometimes stops the attachment from sending. But other people have reported problems with mails with attachments not sending regardless of the filename, so I think the next software update will see some fixes.
Meanwhile, don't use spaces!

How can I edit received emails in Apple's Mail app? Also, delayed sending of replies?

I finally switched to Apple's Mail app 4 months ago after 12 years of using Eudora (because of the inevitable - that Lion or Mountain Lion, when I upgrade, will not support the foundation architecture that Eudora is built on).
There are (AT LEAST) two functions available in Eudora that I very much want to do with Mail and currently cannot figure out how to do. I'm hoping that someone knows of a plugin that will do these functions, or will write such a plugin, or will tell me how to make this suggestion to Apple to include in a future update.
1) I want the freedom to EDIT a received message - to correct a subject line, or make it more relevant for my reference, or add a key word/prefix to the subject for future searching and archiving, along with being able to edit the message itself, so that it is the equivalent in a book (or an eBook) of adding comments/marginalia for future reference. (In my opinion, once I receive an email message, it is MINE - so I should be able to do what I want with it (which includes the responsibility of not rewriting a message to resend to appear as deceptive or fraudulent).
2) Write up a draft email, that would reside in the "Send" folder of Eudora, and for which I could select a time in the future that it should be mailed (dependent on the fact that Eudora would be running at that time, else it would send the next time Eudora was opened. I would LOVE to be able to do that in Apple Mail. Rationale: Often, when I receive an actionable email, I want to respond at that moment while the subject is fresh, but due to priorities or scheduling reasons, I don't want the response to go out just then. Maybe I want the response to go out after an event three days from now, but I want to process the message right now, and I don't want to have to remember to make a ToDo item to remind me in 3 days.

Thanks, a brody.
That tip takes me further down the field. And, I am able to do stuff like indent and change font color of my comments which is very helpful.
However, the big disappointment is that by dragging the original message to the Draft mailbox and then back to the original one after the edits is that it removes the original sender's name and puts mine in along with changing the heading info on date and time. That is, it creates a new message, rather than allowing me to modify the original one to suit my needs.
All the same, this was a very helpful tip. Thanks again.
Anyone know of a plugin?..............or two?....

Opening attachments with a dot in the name in the Mail app

I'm having an issue opening attachments in Mail when the file includes a dot in the name.
For example, a file called name.v2.pdf does not seem to be recognized as a PDF file. It's not even recognized as anything, the file is shown in the mail but clicking on it does not trigger anything. Renaming that file to something like name-v2.pdf ("-" instead of ".") and everything is fine and working.
Anyone know how to get around that or if Apple plans a fixing this? I've been having the issue since iOS 5...
Only solution I found up to now is using another mail client than the default Mail app of Apple but that's a shame.

Sorry my bad. This is happening with zip files not pdf. Indeed I've retried with a pdf and it does work.
Usually with a zip file in a mail, I touch & hold the file to have the "open in" menu come up.
However, when the file is name like "name.v1.zip", the menu does not want to come up... which for a zip file is necessary since the Mail app does not handle zip files.
I've tried sending and receiving from different accounts, my gmail and my work Exchange account, in all cases, the file does not want to open if there is a period in the name other than the one for the extension.
Thanks for your help.

How to send file with original name through Mail adapter

I have to send file with original name as attachment through Mail Adapter. I am picking the file from FTP server through File Adapter. I am not using message mapping because files do not have any standard format.

Hi,
Have you solve your problem ?...
I have exactly the same scenario : pik up a file (file adapter) and send it in attachment by mail adapter without mapping (no IR)...
I activated Adapter specific paramters properties in the File adapter sender and i can see the FileName tag in DynamicConfiguration section of SoapHeader in SXMB_MONI...
I want to use MessageTransformationBean... BUT, how can i 'access' to FileName tag ???...
Thanks...
I setup modules like this :
AF_Modules/DynamicConfigurationBean 1
AF_Modules/MessageTransformBean rename
sap.com/com.sap.aii.adapter.mail.app/XIMailAdapterBean mail
1 key.0 write http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File FileName
1 value.0 message.FileName
rename Transform.ContentDisposition attachment;filename=message.FileName
rename Transform.ContentDescription message.FileName
rename Transform.ContentType application/csv-tab-delimited-table;name=message.FileName
But my file name attachment is message.FileName....

Mail app malfunctioning, sending through wrong email

I have several emails keychained to my Mail app. I have also been using an email account which I share with several others for work related matters. This particular email is not in my keychain on the app. However, whenever I use the app to send emails, it always automatically sends through this work email. I don't understand why. I make it a point to check which email account I am sending from, but even then it inadvertantly sends from that one particular email.
HELP!

First, make sure you have an outgoing mail account corresponding to each of your incoming mail accounts. The user names must match. Then make sure the right outgoing account is selected when you send. You can change the default selection in
Mail > Preferences > Composing > Send new messages from:

Mail.app hang if mail attachment have special characters in file name

Hello,
I have upgraded to 10.5.1 from last version of Tiger.
After upgrade is not possible send message with attachment which have a czech special characters in file name (like á, í, é, ý, ú, ů, ě, š, č, ř, ž) with Mail.app. If I try it, CPU is overloaded and I must kill Mail.app process.
The same problem have my friends who are running a clear installation of Leopard 10.5.1.
Thanks for correction.

I have the same problem with Hungarian chars. I tried out Tomas suggestion and it really worked. It is so dissaponting to have this kind of bug in a system like this. They never tested against this situation.
I hope somebody at apple read this discussion and somehow this will be fixed in the near future.
