RECEIVING MAIL ADDRESSED TO OTHER MAC ADDRESSES

In the past few weeks I have received 3 emails that were addressed to another
Mac address. Has anyone had this happen to them?
iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

Did you set up any .Mac aliases? You can see if there are any .Mac aliases set up for your account by going to www.mac.com, clicking on the Account button, and checking the Mail preferences.

  • Mail: Received mails - addresses with foreign chars

    Hi
    It's hard to describe my problem in the topic
    I am using Apple Mail, currently Version 2.1.1 (752.3). Now I have a weird issue with mail addresses. When I receive email (mostly from our company's outlook users), some of the mail adresses in the TO or CC fields are split and unusable. An example: I receive a mail with CC to a guy called "René Füglister". His mail address would be [email protected] or something. The sender sent the mail to "René Füglister <[email protected]>". Now, my CC line looks like this:
    Füglister, René Füglister <[email protected]>
    When I try to reply to all now, it tries to reply to "Füglister" and "René Füglister <[email protected]>". The fist one is obviously wrong and gets rejected by the mail server.
    I have experienced this ONLY with foreign characters. What can I do?
    Thanks for any hint!
    Cheers
    Rico

  • Not receiving mail on computer or .mac

    As of approx 1PM CDT I have stopped receiving mail on my computer. When I log into .mac to check there are no new emails there either. I have had people send emails to test - none received. HELP!!!

    I am using this as my business reply answer and I have been down all day. Any ideas of what to do? I have written apple, but says 24 hours to respond.
    is this something that happens with .mac a lot? I just changed over from microsoft outlook and I must say this is pretty unnerving!

    Hi,
    I recommend you check if you can telnet the other CAS/HT server on port 25 from each side.
    If it connects, is there any error message or NDR when sending or receiving email from each other?
    If it fails, please check if port 25 is open. If you have a firewall enabled, please make sure that port 25 is open. Besides, please check whether the DNS records have been configured correctly.
    Best regards,

  • Extracting e-mail addresses from all received mail

    Hello,
    We recently ran a competition on our web page and received approaching 5,000 submissions.
    We need a way to collate a list of all the mail addresses of the people who replied.
    The option in Window/Previous Recipients only applies to mail you have sent and not mail you have received.
    Is there a way to export a list of received mail addresses?
    Many thanks,
    Ben

    I wouldn't say there is no way...
    Select all the messages;
    Choose "Save As...";
    Choose "Raw message source";
    This saves a text file archiving all the selected messages. You can get the addresses from this file. One way is:
    In Terminal, type
    grep "^From " nameof_archived_messagesfile > ~/Desktop/listofsenders
    (Ignore the colors in that text.) You can fill in the nameof_archived_messagesfile by dragging the file from the Finder and dropping it into the Terminal window. A text file named listofsenders should appear on your Desktop. It will contain a list of senders (along with some other junk). There are ways to refine this procedure, but I hope this will get you started.

  • HT5330 Receiving mail to @me and @icloud

    Does anyone know if you can set mail using 10.6.8 to only receive mail addressed to the @me address and not to @icloud address?

    You may be able to do this using a Rule to move all messages to @me.com to the Trash or another folder, either on your Mac or on the iCloud website - the latter is probably the best place to do it.

  • Cannot receive mail using leopard

    Recently my parents mac mini which is runing Leopard stopped receiving mail addressed to there @mac.com account. I have tried deleting the account then adding it back again to no avail.  I can log into their iCloud account no ptoblem using same credentials.  I do get a reoccuring pop up telling me that the address is not correct, but I can use the password for icloud, an i did check that the password I use for their icloud account i sthe same I use to try to set up their mail account. 

    Hi Scott, yes, everything has changed.
    Do not delete the old account yet. sign up for an iCloud account if you haven't.
    MAKE A NEW ACCOUNT - DO NOT TRY TO ALTER YOUR EXISTING ACCOUNT.
    I understand .mac mail will still come through. Do not delete the old account yet.
    You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
    iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
    On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
    IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
    • Server name: imap.mail.me.com
    • SSL Required: Yes
    • Port: 993
    • Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
    • Password: Your iCloud password
    SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
    • Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
    • SSL Required: Yes
    • Port: 587
    • SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
    • Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
    • Password: Your iCloud password
    Also, you must upgrade your password to meet the new criteria:  8 characters, including upper and lower case and numbers.  If you have an older password that does not meet these criteria, when you try to setup mail on your mac, using all of the IMAP criteria listed above, it will still give a server error message.  Go to   http://appleid.apple.com         then follow directions to change your password, then go back to setting up your mail using the IMAP instructions above.
    Thanks to dpepper...

  • Mail makes way to much noise for just receiving mail sound

    I have mail preferences set to alert me when new mail has arrived and have the other option that turns on all the mail sounds off.
    Well for some reason when it is sending mail checking mail and there is no mail it make that got mail sound.
    I opened up the mail preference file to see if I could see anyhing that might be corrupt. It has other mail sounds listed as no and receive mail sound as yes.
    Anyone have an idea why mail just wants to make all this racket for every action it takes when it is only supposed to alert me with the received mail sound?

    Leon, when the box in Preferences is unchecked, it is indeed not supposed to make the other sounds, works well on my mac.
    Do you have any plugins installed that may interfere?
    Alternatively, you may have something corrupt in your pref file. You can check this when you make a new user and add an account in Mail there. You may end up with a few mails in your new account under your new user name but you can forward those and pick them up again in your old account.
    You can also make a new pref file:
    Open Preferences from within the Mail program and note the exact settings for your email accounts.
    Quit Mail
    Trash the following file:
    your home directory / Library / Preferences / com.apple.mail.plist
    and empty the Trash
    Restart Mail and re-install your account info.

  • Can send but not receive mail in outlook 2013

    I just started to have the same issue. I have multiple PC's all running outlook 2013 and one of them just stopped receiving mail.
    The others work fine, and yeah I check that it is set to receive mail in the options, along with many other typical tasks  like dissabling the av.
    This is on WIN 7 pro.
    I have uninstalled office. Deleted my ost and pst. Reinstalled office and re-created my mail account.  Same issue. There must be some other setting in my profile or registry that is persisting
    I am about to go back to Office 2010, I have already gone back to Win 7 after a terrible experience with 8.1 and its media centre licence issue and lack of driver support (which worked under WIN 8!!).
    Seriously Microsoft! Do you just hate people?

    Hi,
    What is the account type? Exchange, IMAP or POP3? Is it working fine to receive emails on Webmail(OWA)? It is preferred if you could provide any error code/message.
    The first thing that should be checked up is if the account has been setup properly, you may need to contact your ISP(Internet Service Provider) to get the information you need to setup the account.
    If you press Send/Receive All Folders button, can you get new messages? Please go to
    SEND/RECEIVE tab -> Send/Receive Groups ->
    Define Send/Receive Groups -> For All Accounts, under
    Setting for group "All Accounts", set Schedule an automatic send/receive every "X" minutes, we can set
    X as you need.
    Please create a new profile to test if the issue persists:

  • I have tried to re-instal Adobe reader on my Mac many times. Asks for my PW and gives my name. I just received a new PW with no success. I delete my name and put in my E-mail address. No help.

    Cannot re-install Adobe reader. Says "Adobe reader wants to make changes" and gives my name not e-mail address then asks for a PW. I received a new PW and can sign into Adobe.com but am unable to install Adobe reader on my MAC.
