Old name shows when I receive mail

I am using POP with gmail on my Macbook running snow leopard. I changed my account email name since I got divorced, changed my business name... but the old company name still shows up when I receive mail, as well as my ex' name. I can't figure it out and I tried searching the forum and google. I don't have those names anywhere in the apple mail settings or at google. I am talking about the "To:" line displayed name. Where is apple mail pulling this info from???

I figured it out. It pulls it from the address book. I haven't used the address book in a long time. I use filemaker pro for contacts, so I forgot that it is even there. I edited the name there, and it changed it in mail as well.
Problem solved!

  • When I receive mail my OSX opens up the attachments, they can be either PDF or Jpeg how do I tern this feature off and just have them show as icons

    When I receive mail my OSX opens up the attachments, they can be either PDF or JPEG how do I turn this feature off and just have them show as icons
    Thanks

    There is a plugin available for Mail called Attachment Tamer, which allows much greater control over the way Mail handles attachments, among other things. Icon view is one of them.

    I believe you can run it in demo mode before purchasing to see if it does what you want.

  • I'm using OS 10.6.8 and Mail 4.5. When I receive mails with attachments which are visible the save button doesn't work. Some contacts have problems opening files sent by me using Mail too. This was never a problem on pre-Intel. A real Mac **** up !

    I'm using OS 10.6.8 and Mail 4.5. When I receive mails with attachments which are visible the save button doesn't work. And some contacts occasionally have problems opening files sent by me using Mail too. This was never a problem on pre-Intel Mac. A real Mac **** up ! Any ideas ?

    Can you drag and drop the attachments visible in the email to the Desktop OK or does that fail ?
    Re the sending: Are these recipients on Mac's or PC's as the file type could be an issue, if on Mac's then try setting the Mail Preferences Composing setting to Plain Text not Rich Text and see if that improves things.

  • Can you increase the size of the photo that shows when you receive a call from a contact

    Can you increase the size of the photo that shows when you receive a call from a contact ?

    It used to be if you added the contacts photo on the iOS device they would have a large picture and if you added it from Address Book on OS X they would have a smaller thumbnail.  However, since iOS5, all I've been able to get is the larger photo.  Try adding the picture directly in the contacts app on your device.  That should make it larger.

  • When I receive mail, it disappears

    I can send email via Mail, and get the "whoosh" sound. I have even received emails. But that's where it becomes strange.
    If I send an email to myself, I see the "Mail Activity" text, and it shows that an email is loading. A progress bar in blue lets me know how big the email is. Then, the email disappears, as if it's been sent automatically into the Trash. But the email simply disappears; it's not even in the Trash.
    Nothing happens when I Rebuild. I've already removed all filters. My preferences show that my account is fine. When I access my ATT/Webmail, it works fine. But with Apple Mail, I can't seem to be able to receive emails (or at least, reliably).
    What's next to be done? Are there any "tricks" to repair functionality to Mail?
    Thanks!!

    Indeed there are. The log of server activity includes several "no address" message - possibly my attempt to retrieve test emails. This is a useful shortcut, but I'm not quite sure what to do with the info; I still find myself unable to display attempted emails on Mail. And I'm not sure which files I can delate safely in order to restore Mail.
    I've done a number of searches on this subject. Some hopeful info, but no one seems to have posted a solution.
    Will I have to uninstall and reinstall Mail? Again, thanks for the help so far.

  • Wrong name showing on my iCloud mail, even though the correct name is on my iCloud

    Hi there,
    My husband surprised me with an iPad the first year they came out. However, when he bought it, he used his name but my email address when he ordered it & had it set up. No matter how many times I have changed it, it still shows up in weird places, like now it shows his name when I send out emails from my new iCloud email account, even though when I look at my account, it shows my name not his, so I don't know where the problem is or how to fix it. It is the same whether I am on my iPhone, iPad, or PC. Thanks for any helpful suggestions you can give me! Julie  P.S. Now I see above it says "Welcome, leofromchaska" which I have never seen before (his name is Leo, but I haven't ever seen him use that ID), and I am on MY PC!

    According to your profile (and activity list) this ID was created on the forum in 2011 and was last used to post a little over a year ago. This is not your Apple Id, however, nor should it have any impact on your email account..
    Do you have an entry in your Contaacts app for the email in question? If so, what is on it? And what is set as your contact in settings? (Settings app > Mail,Contacts,Calendars > [scroll down to Contcats] > My Info   ?

  • When sending/receiving Mail seems to handl more mails than my traffic

    When I press "Get Mail", or when I send a mail, the send/receive activity shows in the lower left corner of the screen.
    What makes me wonder is the fact that sometimes "mail activity" for instance says: "getting x mails of 10" although I only receive say, 6 mails in my inbox.
    And the same thing happens the other way around. When I send one email, mail-activity could say: "sending 2 of 2 mails" although I am only sending one mail!
    Does anybody have an idea as to why this odd behaviour occurs?

    I have the same issue. I'm wondering if I'm sending out viruses.
    Is this a common issue?

  • Email alert in SAP when i receive mail in SAP inbox

    Gurus,
    I create a notification in SAP.I am sending the notification thro SAP mail.The person who is getting the mail should receive a alert that a mail has arrived.Is it possible to set the alert?

    Yes Buddy ! there is a way. If you are sending it using SBWP then just check the box (having column Name:Express in Recipient TAB) next to the Recip. Type column. Or If you are sending it thru FM then set the Flag EXPRESS in Recievers Table (tab).
    let me know if still any confusion.
    Warm Regards,

  • Old Favicon showing when site is uploaded!

    I have uploaded my website but the old Favicon is still showing but in Dreamweaver the new one shows up.  I have emptied cache, and refreshed the url.  Any ideas what to look for to rectify this?
    Thank you.

    Hello Sheila,
    in addition to Ben's comment:
    Our browsers must be "convinced" first to show It! Upload the favicon.ico file to your server's root directory. Insert this line of code between the <head> </head> tags on your home or index.html page (I prefer that):
    <link rel="icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
    Clear ALL your caches!
    Check with another browser, the new icon will be there.
    Or:
    - If set, delete the bookmark to the page or re-create the bookmark.
    - Quit browser
    - Empty the Temp Internet Files Internet Options
    - Clear History
    - Delete everything in general, where the browser remembers visited sites.
    - Restart
    - Clear Site visit
    - Clear Bookmark
    Good luck!

  • Is there a way to get multiple email accounts on the front page of my Iphone?  Also I would like to have different sounds when I receive mail in the different accounts. Is this possible?

    Is there a way to get multiple email accounts on the front page of my iphone instead of just the generic mail icon?  Also is there a way to get a different alert sound for each email?

    No.
