Safari email autocomplete is wrong

When I start typing my Exchange email address on any web form in Safari, once I type the @ symbol Safari completes the rest of the email address automatically.... but its wrong.  It tacks on some more characters at the end that I always have to delete.  To be clear this does not appear to have anything to do with Autofill settings (the drop down box that appears when typing in a form).
This appears to be a Safari problem, it does not happen in Chrome.  Also, it only happens with one email address and always when I type the @ symbol.  I can't figure out how to fix this and it is beyond annoying!  Anyone had this issue?  I am on Mavericks.
Thanks!

Problem solved!  A long time ago I had tried to setup a keyboard shortcut to fill in my email address on my iPhone.  You know when you type 'btw' and it automatically changes it to 'by the way'...  I tried to setup something like this to autocomplete my long email address so I didnt have to tap it out all the time on my phone.  This was well before I bought my Macbook. 
I just checked my Keyboard preferences on the Macbook and this old text shortcut was in there.  I deleted it and problem solved.  Well it never worked right anyway, I had a 'dot' in there that I think screwed it up.  I just tested a new shortcut without a 'dot' and it works as it should.

    I forget my security answer.and my alternate email id is wrongly update,what should i do.

    On your computer or safari on your iOS device navigate to:
              For Canada - https://appleid.apple.com/ca.
              For United States - https://appleid.apple.com/us/.
    Click the "Manage your Apple ID" button, and sign in to your iCloud account.  Once in, on the left side select "Password and Security", and this will populate our options on the right side.  You should see an option to reset your security questions. 
    Also see this article - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312. 
    If for any reason you can not reset these security questions, or get an error, then you may need to contact Apple directly at 1 800 692 7753.  Explain the issue, and they can get your to a "Account Security" agent, who will be able to verify your identity, and assist in resetting the security questions.

    When sending email from the Mail App or through other Apps on my iPad, my default From: address will change when I enter a To: address.  This sometimes leads me to send the email from the wrong outgoing email account.  It is frustrating and poor design, especially since I had already checked the From: address.

    3rd party email addresses have to be deleted on every synmced mac product, although I have 1and1.co.uk and my imac updatetes the mails in that account from mac mail.
    Yahoo etc is a 2 step deleting process but good to get your emails pushed when on the go.

  • Default Safari email client

    I get and preview some email using a webmail account before actually popping it into an email client.
    One of the webmail options is to save the email directly which I had never done before.
    Curiously, when I saved it, it downloaded and then opened my unused Microsoft Office 2004 and forced me to save it in Entourage. I never wanted to "test drive" the MS Office prouct, but now I am.
    My real question is how to set the default Safari email client to my Mac Email?
    I am not sure if my webmail service automatically looks for a MS client first but there are no setting there. It seems to me that since I am using Safari, the email client should be user-selectable.
    It's not clicking on an email-to link, which works fine, but this is saving an email directly from a webmail account in Safari, and for some reason MS Office email was the default client.
    I could delete the MS office trial and see what happens, but I would like to know if it is possible to set the default "save email to" link.

    Yes, I could pop it with Mail, but that's not the point. I eventually pop all my webmail onto a PC which contains all my email stored in Outlook, only because I started out using it.
    When I do a "save as" using my webmail account directly, the extension of the downloaded file is .eml.
    I did as you suggested and right-clicked it, selected "other" and chose Mail.app
    The mail then appears as an attachment in Mail and when I click on the attachment, Entourage opens again.
    I can only surmise that the webmail software, which I cannot control, uses MS as the default encoding for downloading. I don't know when the .eml extension is assigned but the encoding may simply be the result of the original sender's client. It makes sense that if the sender used MS to send the email that my webmail does nothing so the format of the email remains that of MS office.
    That makes sense to me.

  • After installing OS8 my mail items On my iPad in trash often are mixed up with the body of the email in the wrong email. The iPhone with the same mail in trash is fine, as is the GMail trash on my PC.

    I Have IOS 8.1 on my iPad & iPhone And I use gmail. When I review email trash on the iPad, many of the emails in trash have the wrong content. The body of the email appears as the content of another email also in trash. The same emails in trash on the iPhone & in Gmail trash on the PC are all OK. if I file the email back in the inbox it Still has the body of the email with the wrong sender and addressee. Any ideas?

    Greetings,
    Mail doesn't create .txt files from email messages; it sends exactly what you type. If some of your recipients are claiming they receive .txt files, that would most likely be due to their email client, which no doubt is running Windoze. Only they can solve that problem. If the message is okay in your Sent mailbox, that's exactly what you sent, so the problem is on their end.

    My 1st generation i-pad has been acting up lately.  Can't open: safari, email, facebook, i-book and other apps, it keeps crashing.  Is there a solution outside of replacing it.

    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    If that didn't help either, try restoring your iPad >  iTunes: Restoring iOS software

  • My first apple id is wrong because my email address was wrong!I can not delete my icloud account because my email address is wrong! Help me please

    My first apple id is wrong because my email address was wrong!I can not delete my icloud account because my email address is wrong! Help me please

    First go here - https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/ and login under the manage tab.  Check your information and be sure it is all correct.
    An AppleID is nothing more than an email address, so if you see another email address in the store, then someone has logged in with a different AppleID than yours.  Did you let someone else use your iPhone?

  • CUOM email notification displaying wrong IP for CUOM(version 2.3)

    Hi,
    Any of you encounter before that the notification displays the wrong IP address(10.0.0.1) for the CUOM when they send the email notification? I had checked the device list and it does not show any IP address which the email is point to(e.g. 10.0.0.1).

    Why is the email displaying the wrong CUOM ip address? Where does the email get the CUOM IP address value from? I am using another IP address to access the CUOM now.
    Thanks.
    Regards,
    Victor

    I got this to work by creating the notification on the job_name.job_subname in this way:
    BEGIN
    DBMS_SCHEDULER.ADD_JOB_EMAIL_NOTIFICATION (
    job_name => 'ChainJob.ChainSubJob',
    recipients => '[email protected]',
    sender => '[email protected]',
    subject => 'Scheduler Job Notification-%job_owner%.%job_name%-%event_type%',
    body => '%event_type%',
    events => 'JOB_FAILED, JOB_BROKEN,JOB_DISABLED,JOB_SUCCEEDED,JOB_SCH_LIM_REACHED');
    END;
    Where ChainSubJob is the Step in your chain that you want alerted on.
    If you aren't sure what you steps are called, you can always view the details by looking at the following - you'll see the JOB_SUBNAME listed here:
    select * from user_scheduler_job_run_details;

  • HT1694 Unread email count is wrong

    Hi,
    Unread email counter is wrong after search. Has been happening for a long time and still no fix from apple.
    Thanks for help

    Hi, jaff067.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    I understand that you have an unread message counter, but your mail account indicates all mail is read.  This usually means that you have an additional mail account setup.  Check to see if you can access this account or change mailboxes and clear the unread via the steps below.

  • HT5787 Apple is sending my reset-email to the wrong address!!!

    I would like to reset my password for my Apple Id.
    But, I forgot one of the security questions.
    I follow the procedure:
    - I requested the reset-email.
    - I have access to the email registered with apple id
    - the reset-email has not arrived
    I tried couple of times.
    But, below the security questions, it says it will send the reset email to the address  [email protected]
    The thing is: I do NOT have any email like that registered with apple.
    Is apple sending my reset-email to the wrong address??
    What do I do? There is no link to report this directly to Apple, is there??
    Thanks a lot to the community.

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.
