Query, email addresses and Outlook

Hi,
I have a query that returns a list of email addresses.  I want to populate the to or cc field in Outlook programmatically?  How can I do this?  I'm trying to find a way to open the user's email client and put the email addresses from my query into the cc field ideally.
Any way to do this?
I know this:  <a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a> will work, but that works because it's a hyperlink.  Is there another way to simulate a hyperlink being clicked?

Basic answer is NO!
Once you ever, as a developer of web applications that run on a server, say anything like: "open the user's {blank} client" you have overstepped the bounds of client server applications.  If we, web developers, could open what ever client tools we wanted, just imagine the havoc nefarious web developers (aka hackers) could do.
But you can provide links, that if the client has chosen configure their system to do so, would open the client tool request.  I.E. for e-mail you could provide a "mail to" link with the proper suggestions for from, to, cc, subject etc.

    UDPATE:
    Spoke with Express lane, and issue was escalated.  Kudos to the support guys that handled this one (Brian and Yi).  Went through everything in detail and took all the crash dumps off the iphones and ipads to send to engineering.
    After backing up the contacts, the recommendation was to delete all contacts in  iCloud.  Doing that caused my iCloud to crash (in the browser), so more crash dumps were sent to apple.
    Eventually got all contacts deleted, then did a resync.  Looks like IOS devices are coming back to life and syncing again.
    Also, Outlook iCloud connector has just been updated to ver 1.0.1 so i installed that on their recommendation.
    BOTTOM LINE workaround:
    1. Backup contacts
    2. Delete contacts in iCloud
    3. Delete accounts on IOS devices
    4. Recreate accounts on IOS devices.
    Hoping a real root cause can be found and real fix implemented.  This has caused me to doubt the stability of iCloud, so i will procees with caution.

    Hi randers4.   Already have.  I have two (2) gmail addresses - only one of which I run through Outlook.  Both are set up in GMail  on the iPhone under Settings but Contacts and Calendars are only set up to synch on the account that goes thru Outlook.  My email from both merge OK on the iPhone but Contacts and Calendars from Outlook doesn't come over and its the only one i have the Settings turned on for Contacts,Calendars and Notes.

    My iCloud email address and my apple ID are different. I would like to change my iCloud to be the same as my apple ID. However I don't know my iCloud password and don't use the email address it belongs to. When I try to change the password, apple brings me to a page to reset my apple ID password (which I know and don't want to change). I have even tried to delete my iCloud account completely to start again but am not allowed without the iCloud password (which I don't have) there doesn't seem to be a place to change the email address of iCloud. What can I do?

    This is the answer that I had expected, so in this case you could only change your gmail.com address to another providers email addres e.g. outlook.com, yahoo.com, etc., but you won't be able to change the gmail.com address to a icloud.com email address. Apple just won't let you do that.
    Your iCloud account with @icloud.com email address and you Apple ID with gmail.com address are already connected and as I said before, Apple just let you merge this two IDs together.

  • Problems with verifying email address and SMTP set...

    I have recently moved over to BT Infinity Broadband and regularly work from home.  Recently I have been unable to send work emails (provided by 123 Reg) and having searched the forums I found a solution by using ny btinternet login details and verifying my email address.
    However I have been able to verify two of my work email addresses but not the main and most important one.  Each time I try I get an "invalid email address" error message.  This is not causing too many problems with Outlook 2010 as I can still send and receive emails at present, hopefully this will remain.
    However I do also use a case management software which sends emails.  It requires a SMTP server details and port number.  I have replicated these with the ones from Outlook, mail.btinternet.com and port number 465 but I am unable to send any emails.
    I would be grateful if anybody could help me to verify my email address and also suggest what settings I would need for my case management software.
    Many Thanks,
    Will

    I am a BT Premium Mail customer for my BT Talk21 e-mail account.
    All was working fine on my PC and on my Mobile when I left the UK on 18t Sept.
    In Greece, I was accessing e-mails, and responding to them, via the COSMOTE mobile network.
    The problem started around 1st October, when I found that I could not reply to e-mails via my phone ("Sending Failed") - it would sometimes work if I switched my phone off an back on again, but I just couldn't send e-mails from my Android phone.
    On my return to the UK, on 3rd Oct,  I found that I couldn't send e-mails via my Outlook 2010 client on my Windows 7 Computer, directly connected to my router-  getting error message 522 (account set up as POP3)
    Test message returns:
    "Send test e-mail message: Your outgoing (SMTP) e-mail server has reported an internal error. If you continue to receive this message, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).  The server responded: 522 Your message has not been sent as you are accessin"
    So, 2 separate devices, connected differently, where experiencing the same problem - the commonality BT E-mail severs.
    I spent 2 days of absolute hell with BT's Indian call centres who were worse than useless - refusing to accept that this was a BT sever-related issue.
    VOL 012-*********** – 4th Oct
    VOL 012-*********** – 4th Oct
    On my Mobile, as a test, I deleted my (POP3) mobile account on my phone, the idea to re-instate it.
    On trying to set it up again, the BT mails servers wouldn't allow me to set it up as POP3 (even though up until the point of the problem it was POP3).
    However, it eventually allowed me to set it up as SMTP/IMAP - and I can now send and recieve e-mails on my Talk21 account on my mobile. Although, being IMAP/SMTP it now deletes mails off the server if I delete them on my phone - which I found out the hard way.
    My Outlook client on my computer still cannot send e-mails - returning the error code 522.
    I have also accessed my account via webmail (which seems to work both ways) and have changed and verified my passwords, but the problem still exists.
    In addition, my daughter also has a Talk21 Premium Mail account, and accessing via a different computer Microsoft Mail on a Vista machine, and she is experiencing the same problem.
    I find out today that BT is withdrawing from Yahoo and is changing/has changed it's e-mail systems.
    The problems I and my daughter are experiencing appear to be general BT Mail Server problems that need to addressed centrally, and not a single-user level as the likelihood is that many are affected.
    I would like BT to look into this as a matter of urgency.

  • Mail is changing my return email address and won't stop

    I have 3 gmail addresses set up in Mail. Two are for 2 separate businesses and 1 is for personal. When sending a message, no matter which account I put in the return address box, when I get a reply it comes back to the inbox of my personal gmail address. All my business emails are being replied to my personal address and it's confusing my clients. It also makes it a pain to keep my business emails organized.
    When I check the reply messages, they have been changed from my business return address to this personal address. This is really ticking me off. I just switched from a pc and was hoping the mac mail client was going to work better than Outlook but so far it is worse. I thought all this mac stuff was supposed to bug free, no crashes, etc., etc. So far I'm having some serious buyers remorse. It ain't living up to the reputation. I got a number of other issues but I'll keep this discussion to the mail thing.
    Help. Please.
    Thanks,
    Roy

    I'm running OSX 10.7.2 btw. Mail is 5.1. I have a drop down box below the subject line in my "new message" that says "From" and I have a choice of any of the email addresses but no matter what I put in that line, replies always come back to the personal address. I've changed the preference in compose to one of my business email addresses and I think I'll just leave it like that and see what happens. Maybe after a day or 2 I'll change it back and see if it works properly then.
    Found Library and mail preference file but I'm not ready to test dumping that and having to reload accounts again. If nothing changes, I'll give that a try.
    Hey, thanks again for all the advice. It's been very helpful!

    How do I get messages to go back to an AIM account? It's only seeing the iPad's Facetime email address and not seeing the old AIM account name that is on my desktop. I am using my iMac using iChat to talk to a newer iMac that doesn't have iChat. We had this working using Messages and Facetime (on the new machine) talking to my existing iChat account. One day last week, when Facetime rang, my kids answered on the iPad. Dang! Now it's all fouled up! The new iMac won't see my AIM account name and shows that I'm offline, because the iPad is off. We were able to call using "most recent call" in Facetime, but now I can't go and control that new iMac remotely to help with some email concerns the user is having. I'm trying to not personalize this too much, but it's grandkids talking to Grandma and Mom and Dad trying to solve new machine hiccups. Normally, I could just go in via iChat and control the other machine and troubleshoot, but I can't do it with Facetime only. My buddy list doesn't see  the other computer even though we are connected on Facetime right now. My name is not highlighted for the other computer. What could have gone so wrong?

  • Email messages now show "To: me" instead of the name or email address and I want to know how to change back to the way it was.

    I use several yahoo email addresses and it has always been very convienent to see if it is a personal or business related message by simply seeing the To: line. Now all of sudden all I see is "me" and it is not at all helpful. I didn't make the change nor authorize it to be done. I am not even sure if this is a Firefox issue or a Yahoo issue. I would like to know how to change back to show the full email name or address.

    hello shackiraq, you'd have to contact yahoo's support about this issue - firefox doesn't handle your emails but just renders a website like it is provided to you by the server of a webmail service.

  • I have changed my apple email address and icloud is asking me to sign in under my old email then saying my password is incorrect how can i change it pls

    I have changed my apple id but when i try to log into icloud etc it lists my old id therefore my password is wrong as there is no such account now, how do i change this to show my new id and get into my account

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. 
    If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, and your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, go 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.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account 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 and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • In mail in lion and also in snow leopard you were able to click on an incoming email address and select it in spotlight , this feature in mountain lion is now gone , where did it go it was really useful?

    I used to use this feature multiples times a day as it was a great way to look up all correspondance that a person had sent through.
    This option is gone now with mountain lion and I am wondering why as it was great! you just had to click on an email address and you could select looking it up within mail.

    Since you are awesome with the "Flash" can you investigate if this website has a issue withis this "Flash" too?

  • Before my PC had iTunes, I loaded Aps from store onto my daughter's PC with iPad connected. I indicated my email address and Apple password. Now I want to upgrade to next iPad but Aps in my iPad are not on my PC iTunes. Do I have to buy again to keep them

    I'm a new user of an iPad. Before my PC had iTunes (it does now), I loaded Aps from from the iStore using my daughter's PC with my iPad cable-connected. I indicated my email address and Apple password--not hers and paid for these Aps--receipts arrived via my email. Now I want to upgrade to 5.1 but the Aps now loaded on my iPad do not show up  on my PC iTunes library. When I click 'Upgrade' I get a warning message that says all Aps currently on the iPad will be obliterated in the process which of course I don't want to have happen because they're not showing up on my PC which presumably means my PC is not aware of what's on my iPad. Do I have to buy these same Aps again to keep them if I'm going to upgrade to 5.1, and how do I get my iTunes on my PC to back up the Aps currently loaded onto my iPad?

    You should be able to copy the apps (and any other iTunes purchases) over to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. And as long as apps remain available in the store, and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to purchase them, you should be able to re-download them in the future : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    If you are already on iOS 5+ on your iPad then you should be able to update the iPad directly on the iPad via Settings > General > Software Update .
