Problem: Only receiving e-mails from address book contacts

BlackBerry Curve 8330m on Sprint BIS.
Only e-mail account registered is a university (.edu) email address.
No filters set up in BIS whatsoever.
Problem: If an address NOT in my address book sends me an e-mail, I do not receive it on my BlackBerry. I'm only seeing e-mails sent by people in my address book. I would prefer to receive ALL e-mails.
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

That also happened to me for a few days. I was looking for some solution in forums and I found this: the same problem and no solution. Then the light came to me:
A few days ago I changed some security settings without clear idea about consequenses. Now I have fixed it:
1) click "OPTION" menu
2) click "SECURITY OPTIONS" menu
3) click "SECURITY SERVER" menu
4) Now unblock the incoming messages for each one of the services: uncheck SMS, MMS, PIN, BIS, BES
5) Save settings
(My blackberry language is spanish but I think translation is right)
... In my case I had blocked all the incoming email BIS messages except the coming from the contacts in my address book. I hope this works for both you with the same problem in case you still (10 months later) don't have fixed it or change to iPhone :-)

Problem printing labels and envelopes from Address Book

I am very frustrated by the impossibility, when printing labels or envelopes from Address Book, of including both an individual name and a company name on the label or envelope. The Address book will only print one or the other. When sending correspondence to a person in a large company or building, the correspondence will not get to that person with only the company name or the individual name. It shocks me that in all these years I have been a Mac user, Apple has never noticed and fixed this fundamental problem. I would now like to buy an Ipod or an Ipad, but I am reluctant because I do not want to have to sync my addresses to Apple's juvenile address book. Is there any solution to this?

How do you control layouts of label printing from address book / contacts

Has anyone found a smart way or some smart software to help me with this ?
I want to select a subset of my contacts in address book and give the group a name, like "Xmas cards". As I add new contacts I want to occasionally add some of them to this sub group.
Then at Xmas I want to print off the postal addresses of the contacts in this sub group onto standard Avery labels to use on my Xmas card envelopes.
I know there is a way of printing from address book to labels, but I don't seem to have any control on the label font, font size or layout.
Ideally I would like to use a currently unused field in address book to store the way I would like the first line of the contact to print such as " Mr and Mrs Smith" or "John Smith and Jane Doe" - which may be different from the way record the "name" field. So I need flexibility of choosing which fields to print in which order on the labels
Does anyone else do something like this and how? Do you use some third party software to help manage it?

How do I delete an e-mail from address books

I have an e-mail address in my address book that is frozen. I am having a problem editing it or deleting it.
What to do?

I have no idea what "frozen" means.
Double clicking the contact or selecting the contact and clicking the Properties button opens the edit dialog box just like a right click does. You can do those on a Mac.
Selecting the contact and pressing the Delete button on your keyboard will delete the contact after confirming the dialog box.

Notification sounds only when I get email from address book contacts

I am getting constant sound notifications whenever I get email but very few emails really require instant attention. I do not want to hear a sound when I get an email, except when the sender is one of my contacts. What settings do I need to make this happen? Thanks.

OK, perhaps I see the problem now.

Mail and Address Book contacts don't seem to be matching up

I recently upgraded to Leopard from Tiger. Most things work great, but I've been noticing some very problematic discrepancies between Mail and my Address Book. For instance, I'll receive a message from one person, but when I hit reply, it will put an entirely different e-mail address in the reply box. Or in another case, someone wrote me and cc'd a colleague. But my iPhone mail and my Mail program disagree on who was cc'd (one shows a friend, the other shows a work colleague)—I don't know which one is correct!
I'm guessing that my mail program isn't reconciling correctly with my Address Book (since all these people are also in my address book.) It's driving me a little crazy. Has anyone had similar issues?
Thanks,
David

you need to rebuild your mailbox. select your inbox and choose "rebuild" from the mailbox menu. If that doesn't help try rebuilding the entire mail index. quit mail and delete the file homedirectory/library/mail/envelope index. start mail and let it import (that means reindex).

Can't Select or Copy Text or Data from Address Book Contact Card w/out Edit

Is it something I am doing wrong or did someone at Apple have the weird idea to make it impossible to select/copy text in a contact card in Address Book?
Can you drag/select/copy a URL in a contact card in Address Book, e.g. if you had to paste it into another program or even a different contact card? Thanks.

that would be the latter although i suspect it's a bug. it is now also impossible to select all in an address card to quickly copy and paste into a text document. you have to do it one field at a time and it doesn't seem to work with URL at all.

Any ways to receive calls only from address book on Cisco Telepresence SX20?

I have been receiving numerous unknown calls on my conference call device and I would like to know if there are any ways to block these calls or even possibly only receive calls on the address book.

When it says "Status: Fixed" and Known Fixed Releases: is a version older than the one we use, does that mean that the problem should be resolved from that firmware version forward?

Java Mail - problems receiving HTML mail from outlook

Hello,
I have a problem with receiving HTML mails from outlook. What I want to do is the following
- receiving a HTML mail - like a newsletter- send via Outlook
- display the mail via my mail client in a jtextpane
I tried it with the following code - but without success :
a)
Message msg = message;                    ByteArrayOutputStream os = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
message[i].getDataHandler().writeTo(os);
String data = new String(os.toByteArray());
textPane.setText(data);
b)
StringBuffer sb = null;
Multipart mp = (Multipart)message[i].getContent();
for (int j = 1; j < count; j++){
sb = new StringBuffer();
InputStream is = mp.getBodyPart(j).getInputStream();
int c;
while ((c = is.read()) != -1)
sb.append((char) c);
is.close();
textPane.setText(sb.toString());
Thanks,
Mario

POP3 Mail & Address Book contacts have gone!

I recently did some housekeeping on my Mum's iBook G4 (OSX 10.4.10), part of which was purchasing and installing SpamSieve into Mail. This all went fine. Today she said all the mail in her POP3 inbox had gone, she couldn't send/receive and all her address book contacts had gone (Except hers and Apples).
I've got the iBook now and have noticed that her account type in Mail has somehow changed to a .Mac account (did I somehow do this, or did she???). This is obviously the root of the problem as the
email address now has '@mac.com' appended to the end and the incoming mail server is now 'mail.mac.com' and the outgoing is 'smtp.mac.com:heremailaddress' which is all wrong. I'm unable to change the account type back to POP or the incoming mail server from 'mail.mac.com' (it's greyed out) back to what it was.
I have now created a second account with the correct POP settings and have received in all unread email, but the read email messages have gone. I am unable to send as the new correct pop account is only offered the incorrect outgoing server ('smtp.mac.com:heremailaddress').
Having read several post on this forum, I feel the Mail/Address Book issues are connected and that maybe the application(s) database(s) have been corrupted. I've tried the Address Book remedy at http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5248351&#5248351 but this does nothing. The 'user'>Library>Mail folder shows the two accounts as two separate folders. The recently recreated account folder has the new unread messages in the 'INBOX.mbox folder, but the older account folder (which now has 'MAC-' added to the front of its name) only has 'info.plist' in a 'INBOX.imapmbox' folder!
I don't believe any back-ups are available. Can anyone help me restore her old unread mail, and possibly her address book contacts?
I've also just noticed that SpamSieve does not launch as it should when I launch Mail, even though It was purchased and the scripts installed correctly.

Didn’t you make a backup prior to the housekeeping?
I don’t know why would Spotlight find contacts that are gone from Address Book (if that’s what you mean), but as far as Mail goes, under some circumstances (e.g. lack of available disk space, filesystem corruption, repeated crashes), Mail may discard the current ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist preferences file and create a new one. This file is where all the account settings are stored. As a result, all the non-.Mac account settings (but not the messages themselves) are lost. If you had a .Mac account, its settings would appear to have been preserved because Mail would set up that account automatically using the System Preferences > .Mac settings.
What’s the capacity and space available on the startup disk? Take a look at the comments about disk space in the following article, in case they apply to you:
Problems from insufficient RAM and free hard disk space
Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what’s it all about?
After having fixed all the filesystem issues, if any, and ensuring that there’s enough space available on the startup disk (a few GB, plus the space needed to make a backup copy of the Mail folder), quit Mail if it’s running, and make a backup copy of the ~/Library/Mail folder, e.g. by dragging it to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down, just in case something else goes wrong while trying to solve the problem. This is where all your mail is stored.
You have three options now:
(1) Restore ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist from a backup if you have one. Mail shouldn’t be running while you do this.
(2) Set up your mail accounts again (you may want to quit Mail and trash the new com.apple.mail.plist first to start over). If given the option to import existing mailboxes or something like that, don’t. Just enter the account information and Mail will automagically rediscover the data in ~/Library/Mail/ when done. You’ll also have to re-configure most of your settings in Mail > Preferences. For spam-related security reasons, the first thing you should do is go to Preferences > Viewing and disable Display remote images in HTML messages if it’s enabled.
(3) Mail may have renamed the old preferences file to com.apple.mail.plist.saved. If that’s the case, you may try trashing the new com.apple.mail.plist and renaming the old com.apple.mail.plist.saved back to com.apple.mail.plist. Again, be sure Mail isn’t running while doing this. Given the circumstances, there exists the possibility that com.apple.mail.plist.saved became corrupt, but that often is not the case and the settings can usually be restored by just renaming the file back to com.apple.mail.plist.
As a side effect of re-creating com.apple.mail.plist, Mail might rename Outbox (which is where messages waiting to be sent are stored) to Delivered. The name of that mailbox is actually a misnomer, as it would contain messages (if any) that couldn’t be delivered for some reason. You can delete that mailbox if you wish.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. That is, ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder, i.e. /Users/username/Library.

Not Receiving E-mails from a particular sender

I belong to a mom's group that uses yahoo group's e-mail to communicate to each other. If you want to send an e-mail to the mom's club, you just type in the yahoo group address and it goes out to all the members. For some unknown reason I stopped receiving the e-mails from this address yesterday. Has anyone ever had a problem like this? I can send e-mails no problem and receive e-mails from everyone else. I called Verizon's tech support and they played around with my settings and then said everything looked fine and nothing was blocking the sender so it must be on Yahoo's end. I have had this happen before, but it has never lasted this long. I am going on over 24 hours without getting a single e-mail from the yahoo group. I know it is not on yahoo's end because I had the admin. of the group add my hotmail account to the e-mail loop and as soon as she did, I started getting the e-mails at that address but still nothing at my verizon.net account. Any ideas? Any advice would be appreciated. Michele

could be a couple of things but the most likely reason is that that email address made it onto your block senders list, even though they said no. First, is your email address a verizon email? Second are you using web mail or an email program?

When emailing a group from address book it opens individual emails....

When emailing a group from address book it opens individual emails for each name rather than one email with all email addresses listed. Have I set things up wrongly or is there something I can do to have a single email sent to multiple addressees via Address Book?

Hello,
When addressing an email for this group, are you
entering only the name of the Group as the address?
More info, please.
Ernie
Thanks for your reply.
Yes, it works directly in Mail - type in group name and all's well and lovely - but if I'm in Address Book and want to email a group it opens numerous emails. THere seems to be no way of opening Mail from Address Book and go straight to emailing a group.

Printing from Address Book

Anyone know of a way to print only ONE PHONE NUMBER from Address Book? I want to print only the mobile numbers for reference. The only option seems to be to print all phone numbers or none.
Another solution might be to export the list to Numbers and edit. Any help there? It only moves Last name, First name, the 1st phone number in the list, and email. ? No way to specify anything.

Ron
In order to try to help you, I need you to answer the
question: Is it only envelope printing that causes a
crash? Can you, for example, print a list of
contacts?
AK
Hey Austin,
Yea, everything prints except envelopes

Lost Mail and Address Book ikons from HD

Preparing to upgrade to Tiger OX 10 from Panther. Recommended backup all vital info. In transfer process, both Mail and Address Book ikons from HD to backup Superdisk repeatedly came up Error 50. Only success was to lose both ikons from HD and Question Mark on Address Book in dock rendering it useless. Now have Mail and a Mail copy ikon on Desktop that will not open. Likewise an Address Book ikon and four copies on Desktop that will not open. Fortunate that Mail ikon in Dock still operates allowing acess to Mail and Address Book on Mail site.
Would like to move forward. Help for an average computer user would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry for the delayed response to your e-mail. Thank you very much for taking the time to addressing my problem.
After posting the question the hard drive further deteriorated to the point where the computer became inoperative. Ended up with a new computer and a major challenge in transferring info from old to new computer. After a long day with two friends and computer programmers by day, we succeeded in retrieving and transferring the info. Whee!
Thanks again for taking the time to address my question.
