Notifying all contacts in Mac Mail of address change

I'm getting a new work email address.
Can someone give me the step-by-step of how to notify all senders in my inbox and folders of my new address?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks, worked like a champ after a little figuring out where and how to access the download folder. Was a good learning experience, appreciate the help. If you can, does the notify you when the mail ap is not running? Or does the mail program have to be running to have it notify you.

What is the best way to notify all contacts of a new email address?

I am changing my email address. I had the previous one for many years, somewhere around 15. What is the best way for me to let my contacts know about the new email address? And is there anything else I need to do to smooth out this process? Obviously I have to let merchants, websites and services know as well.
Any hints or tips you have would be welcome.

In Addrss Book make a Group of all your contacts. Open Mail and in the To: field put the name of the Group. Write your text then click on Send button.
Or send everyone a postcard.

ICloud won´t sync all contacts with Mac

Hardware and software involved:
Macbook Pro (bit older model) with fully updated Lion
iPhone 4 with fully updated newest iOS
Situation:
There are all contacts in iCloud. iPhone synces without issue and has all contacts in adress book. On Mac many contacts are missing.
Tested solutions on Mac:
1) Turned iCloud account off and on - no result, no change, iCloud still synces only some contacts
2) Turned iCloud adress book syncing on (while deleting all contacts on Mac) - no result, no change, iCloud still synces only some contacts
3) Deleting user/Library/applicationsupport/adress book - adress book synced more contacts (and different ones) then before, but still not all... Maybe around 1/2 contacts from iCloud.
Looking for help, I´m out of ideas. This is not some trivial error like looking in wrong tab at Adress Book (for example looking to On My Mac).
Thank you.

If your only issue is with duplicates I would go to your address book and click on the "red marker" up on the window. That should get you into main directory. There you should see at least two main lists:
On My Mac
iCloud
If you click on iCloud, there should be all entries with no duplicates - check if all your contacts are there. Then go to On My Mac and delete all contacts there. Problem solved (and if you have iPhone don't sync contacts over cable if you have iCloud sync active, that's where my duplicates came from).
My issue was more complicated. It started with duplicates which I have deleted as described above. Then I noticed I have all contacts on my iPhone and I can see all contacts on iCloud web page but in Mac there was only about half of them.
So after trying stuff for some time I have solved it by
1) deleting all contacts from Mac and turning iCloud off on Mac
2) copying all contacts from iPhone to Mac over cable to On My Mac directory
3) deleting all contacts from iPhone and iCloud manually, turning iCloud on iPhone off
4) copying all contacts from Mac back to iPhone
5) deleting all contacts from Mac (On My Mac)
6) turning iCloud on again and uploading contacts from iPhone to iCloud
7) turning iCloud on again on Mac and leting Mac sync
Complicated stuff, it's few days so I hope I have not forgotten something.

HT204093 Can I set up GROUPS of contacts on Mac Mail Thanks /markinnyon

Can I set up Groups of contacts on Mac Mail?
Thanks markinnyon

Yes, you can. Is "Mac OS X (10.7)" still your current system?
You can create groups from the File menu in the "Address Book /Contacts" application.
In Contacts on Yosemite:

I suddenly cannot search my Address Book (Contacts) in Mac Mail. Seems to be "stuck" on one contact

I suddenly cannot search my Mac Mail Contacts. Normally, when I type in a name, it immediately comes right up to that contact. Only way I can see a particular contact I want is to double click on that name. I want to be able to see it to the right of the list of all my contacts on the left. Thanks in advance for your help. I've tried quitting the application, but it's not helping. I've also checked and all my Software Updates are up to date.

Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive & clear caches.)
Not exactly clear, but in Address Books tool bar, is Groups & Names shown, or just Names?

What is the best way to transfer my Yahoo mail account email, email folders and contacts to Mac Mail?

A new version of Yahoo Mail has unexpectedly been dumped on long time users a few days ago, leaving many of us with functions that no longer work and are unstable. There was no announcement of a Beta or a possibility of retaining the old Yahoo Mail. It was like "Here it is, like it or not. We don't care."
My son said "Why don't you use another email client?". I thought of Mac Mail immediately. I have found a lot of instructions as to how to move my Yahoo mail components, and they sound pretty easy, but what I haven't found is what happens to my Inbox email, my archived email and my contacts. Do I have to move all those components to Mac Mail manually, and if so, will they now reside on my hard drive? Maybe I'm getting in over my head here. Some of the instructions say all I need is just my Full Name, Email address and Password. I guess I'm a cynic. It just sounds too good to be true. What happens to the stuff that was on Yahoo?
I have a couple of other reputable email accounts, but I would have to go through all my friends and businesses and inform them of the changed email addy.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've never bothered w/Yahoo Mail latest upgrades or updates.
You can switch back to the old version of Yahoo Mail by going into your Yahoo Preferences and/or check the top right hand corner of its website.

Connect Contacts on MAC Mail Software

I have another question.
I am wondering if it's possible to connect the contacts I have on the server and I can see on my webmail to the Macintosh Mail software. Is it an LDAP? I am not talking for the global userlist. I am talking about the personal address book each user has.
Thanks,
Savvas

Is it an LDAP?Yes the contacts are stored in an LDAP repository.
I am not talking for the global userlist. I am talking about the personal address book each user has.I don't personally own a Mac so I cannot say what may or may not be possible. What I can say is that although we store the contact information in LDAP it is unlikely to be in a format that can be recognised by the Mac Mail software although other forum readers may be able to confirm this one way or another.

"all on my mac" purpose in Address Book?

I still do not have my head around the changes w/r iCloud, MobileMe & Google syncing...
I have re-occuring iCal birthday dups coming from Address Book that I clear and that re-appear after a few days.
Anyone understand the purpose of "All on My Mac" in Address Book these days? This category seems redundant?
If one's contacts are in iCloud, is there a reason to have any entries under "All on my Mac"? This is where my iCal birthday dups are coming from - duplicate entries appearing under both iCloud and "AoMM"
On a related topic, I am not sure if syncing between Address Book and Google Contacts is done between Google and the "AoMM" contacts or the iCloud contacts or both.

You can't delete the All On My Mac as it is an automatic group to display all of the contacts that are stored "On My Mac." You can delete all of the contacts that are in the ON MY MAC section by selecting All ON My Mac and then selecting all contacts. Press delete and approve the deletion. Then, select each group under ON My Mac and delete those individually.
Then, Make sure iCloud is set as the default account in the General Address Book Preferences.

Applescript for Mac Mail Email Addresses

Hey guys,
Bit of help with scripting here would be awesome:
I have been trying to collate all the email addresses located in my Mac Mail accounts. To do this I have used the following in Applescript:
tell application "Mail"
set selectionMessage to selection -- just select the first message in the folder
set thisMessage to item 1 of selectionMessage
set theseMessages to (every message in (mailbox of thisMessage))
repeat with eachMessage in theseMessages
set theFrom to (extract address from sender of eachMessage)
do shell script "echo " & quoted form of theFrom & return & " >> ~/documents/extracted.txt"
end repeat
end tell
This has worked really well, but I would also like the addresses of people I have sent mails to (sent mail account) and also any addresses that are CC'd in emails.
I have played around with the script, but my little knowledge of the program meant I got only errors! Any help on obtaining these final email addresses would be much appreciated.
Best regards,
Simon

While the script works, two problems are that there are many duplicate email addresses and the list is not sorted.
The following addresses these problems (and avoids repeated do shell script calls):
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
font-weight: normal;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px; height: 340px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #E6E6EE;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into the AppleScript Editor">
tell application "Mail"
set selectionMessage to selection -- just select the first message in the folder
set thisMessage to item 1 of selectionMessage
set theseMessages to (every message in (mailbox of thisMessage))
set listOfEmails to {}
repeat with eachMessage in theseMessages
try
set theFrom to (extract address from sender of eachMessage)
if listOfEmails does not contain theFrom then
copy theFrom to the end of listOfEmails
end if
if (address of to recipient) of eachMessage is not {} then
repeat with i from 1 to count of to recipient of eachMessage
set theTo to (address of to recipient i) of eachMessage as string
if listOfEmails does not contain theTo then
copy theTo to the end of listOfEmails
end if
end repeat
end if
if (address of cc recipient) of eachMessage is not {} then
repeat with i from 1 to count of cc recipient of eachMessage
set theCC to (address of cc recipient i) of eachMessage as string
if listOfEmails does not contain theCC then
copy theCC to the end of listOfEmails
end if
end repeat
end if
end try
end repeat
end tell
tell application "Finder" to set ptd to path to documents folder as string
set theFile to ptd & "extracted.txt"
set theFileID to open for access theFile with write permission
set SortedListOfEmails to simple_sort(listOfEmails)
repeat with i from 1 to count of SortedListOfEmails
write item i of SortedListOfEmails & return to theFileID as «class utf8»

close access theFileID
on simple_sort(my_list)
set the index_list to {}
set the sorted_list to {}

if i is not in the index_list then
set this_item to item i of my_list as text
if the low_item is "" then
set the low_item to this_item
set the low_item_index to i
else if this_item comes before the low_item then
set the low_item to this_item

How can I find/set up the AOL contacts in mac mail

I have both mac mail and AOL mail both together on my macbookpro. However the AOL contacts are not available in mac mail. I have to use safari to open AOL, sign in and copy down the contact i want to e mail. very inconvenient. there has to be an easier way! I do not want to add 28 pages of printed contacts (one by one) in the mac address book.

I found this in AOL help > How do I sync my AOL Address Book with the Mac Address Book?

Mac Mail from address-how do I change the default?

In Mac Mail, when the form comes up, often the email address that comes up is not the account I want to use. How can I edit this list? Change the order, or even delete some of the options?
Thanks,
Hal

At one time, you could edit the list order of the accounts in Mail's account preferences, but not any more. You can still set the order of accounts in Mail's sidebar in the inbox. Click on an account and drag it to the order you want.
For the list in the composing tab, that is to set the account to send new messages from. I'm not sure i understand why you feel you need to change the order of that list. Either specify the default account to always use, or choose the option of selected account. Then highlight the account under the inbox of the sidebar that you want to send a message from. Or, show the server list in new message window and change the sending account there.

Import Outlook 2010 contact into Mac OS X Address Book

*Help needed!*
In our company, we run PCs with Windows XP and MS Office 2010. For private usage I have a MacBook with Snow Leopard.
Since quite I while, I am trying to export the contacts from my Outlook 2010 address book into the preferred Address Book on my Mac. However, It does not work anymore.
I had found a simple way which worked well as long as my company was using the old MS Office. I simply sent the contacts from Outlook to Mac as attached files via email and could easily drag and drop them onto the desktop and further into the Address Book. Now coming from Office 2010, the addresses cannot be imported anymore.
The Finder on my Mac recognizes the files on the desktop but I can neither import nor drag-and-drop them into my Address Book.
Happy for any hint you give me!

Figured out what was happening here. It seems that even though a new contact is synced immediately (from MobileMe to the iPhone), categorization data is NOT -- it seems to take hours until this data gets updated.

Upgraded Hard Drive, now all "on my mac" mail is gone

Yesterday I installed a new hard drive in my macbook. Used my Time Machine backup to restore the new drive. Everything seems to work fine.
When searching for some email today, though, I noticed that all of the (many) emails in the "on my mac" section of Mail is gone.
I think the messages are still in my home/library/mail/mailboxes, but how do I get Mail to recognize them?

Hello and welcome to the Discussions.
This is probably an index problem. Let's force an overall reindexing via the removal of the Envelope Index since you say it is spread across all On My Mac mailboxes. Note the special instructions when forcing the reindexing of IMAP or Exchange accounts in the following:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mail/3.0/en/14019.html
This will force the reindexing of all the POP mailboxes and all On My Mac mailboxes. With regard to any IMAP accounts if you have any, the practical result of this action of removing the account folder, is that with the IMAP account still set up in the Preferences, Mail will connect to the IMAP server and create a new account folder, and while doing so will index the messages in the mailbox folders of the IMAP account on the server.
Keep me posted.
Ernie

Can't phone all contacts from Mac with Yosemite.

I can't phone all contacts from my Mac with Yosemite. Some of the audio icons are greyed out. Any solutions?

hmmmm....*strokes beard*
I'm assuming you want to transfer all your contacts between sim and phone memory all at once.
to do this, go to contacts on your phone then select "options", then select "Mark\Unmark". You then get a little side menu. in this side menu select "Mark All". all you phone contact should now have ticks next to them. Now Press "Options" again and now you should have the option to "Copy to sim Directory". and from sim to phone do this in reverse.
Peace out
The Bearded One

Mac Mail and Address Book Syncing

For some reason when I begin to type in the name of someone in Mac Mail who I know is in my address book, the automatic search and suggestion does not happen. I am physically having to go into the address book and copy and past the email address. I have looked through the iCloud settings in both the address book and mac mail and it seems to be okay. Any suggestions please.
