Sending mail to a contact group with a numeric name

Hello!
I have a problem when sending mail to a contact group. The contact group is named "1234", and in Mail the autocompletion of the address is not performed successfully.
However, if I rename the group to "A1234" then it all works. Sounds like a bug to me.
Also, I have 31 people in my contact group. And, when adding the "A1234" group in the To: field - not all in the contact group are added. (And yes, they all have valid email addresses)
This also sounds like a bug to me. Or, am I missing something?
I should also add that when - in the address book - I select the group and "Send email to group", not all people in the group are added either...
Cheers,
/ Peter

Your email provider limits the number of email addresses you can send to at once, so it's likely you exceeded that limit, thus causing their server to hang. Check with them to find out that limit, then try reducing the number of recipients your sending to in that group to that number or less.

Sending to a shared contact group with subgroups fail

Hello all,
I am hoping someone can help me with this one, as I have researched non stop and cannot find an answer.
SCENARIO:
Outlook 2010 (with all the latest updates)
Exchange 2010
Windows 7 x64
We are a group of 15 users. All 15 of us add a shared mailbox used for communications into our Outlook client so we can access and monitor the entire mailbox, including contacts.
When trying to send a communication to a Contact group that is in the shared mailbox contacts, it will work fine unless there is another contact group within that group (subgroup). The email will bounce back with the following error:
[email protected] #550 5.4.4 ROUTING.NoConnectorForAddressType; unable to route for address type ##
If you send to a contact group with a subgroup from your own local contacts, it works fine.
If you send to a contact group without a subgroup, it works fine.
If you log directly into the shared mailbox and send from there, it works fine.
This issue appears ONLY to occur when sending to a contact group that has a subgroup within it from a shared contact list.
Based on my investigation, it appears that Outlook is trying to look for the subgroups within the local contact list, not the location of the actual contact group itself. Perform the following steps:
Add an additional (or shared) mailbox to your Outlook profile.
In the shared mailbox contact list, create 2 contact groups. (Test 1 and Test 2).
Add Test 2 into the Test 1 group. In Test 2 group, create/add a contact. (This may easiest be done by the shared mailbox itself)
Ensure you are logged into your original profile, and Right click the Test 1 group and Create->Email.
You will notice right away if you expand the Test 1 group, it will show up Test 2 (Unknown) and if you try and double click Test 2 to see it's properties, it says it cannot find it. If you perform this same step while logged into the shared mailbox directly,
it is able to locate the contact.
Any information I have found on this bounceback references a bug where a link in an email who try to send to a contact using MAILTO instead of SMTP. However, this is not the scenario I am in.
It is currently not feasible to have everyone add all these contact groups into their own contact list, as these groups change all the time.
If anyone has any ideas how this could be fixed, or have maybe other suggestions of how to use and access groups with subgroups for communications without logging into the shared mailbox, that would be great. We are unable to login to the shared mailbox
directly anymore as we are doing away with shared passwords.
Thanks all

Hello,
How did you select the recipients when composing email? Did you click the To button and select it from the Address Book or use the auto-complete list? If you select from the auto-complete list, please try deleting the contact group from the auto-complete
list and then test again.
In addition, since the bounceback error is similar to the MAILTo bug, we may try to install the hotfix to take a chance.

Hi NeoCK,
According to your description, you can access your report successfully, but it fail to send e-mail subscription. Right?
In this scenario, since you can access the report successfully, so this user has permission on report server. Please go to E-mail setting in your Reporting Services Configuration Manager, check if the current user has permission on that SMTP server.
If this is still not working, please recreate the subscription and try again.

I need help on syncing groups with PC Suite. When browsing contacts with Phone Browser, I can edit/view contacts, but no info about the groups I've defined on my phone.
I've also tried syncing contacts with Lotus Notes but no groups were exported.
This is a very important feature for my job.
Thanks ,
Silvio

if you are using the ovi.com, i would suggest you get your contacts squared away and sync them elsewhere, that is going to be deleted soon, if not already.
i had issues syncing my data with nokia services for the longest time. it was good, then they "fixed" the nokia suite and it wasnt....then there was ovi suite and that botched them all too.
i used to sync directly to my outlook with the 9500, and then through my other devices until ovi suite when i grew tired of the challenges with the contacts.
eventually, i ended up signing up with office365 to get an exchange account for $5/mo.
i think that the devs for the software products only use thier nokia exchange accounts when testing, which goes around the issues that we have had.
i would create either a google account and sync there, or if you want to also sync directly to an outlook, create a live/hotmail/outlook.com email address and then download the hotmail connector application for your pc, and then it will sync your wireless devices and outlook like a free exchange server and sync contacts/calendar/email.
if you go that route, you can get the hotmail connector here: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/microsoft-office-outlook-hotmail-connector-overview-HA0102...

Send SMS to the contact group! Other suggestions.

I wanted to make the following reviews Nokia Ovi Suite
- It is not possible to send SMS to a contact group
- It is not possible to change the display of SMS
- When there is a new SMS message, not possible to open the message
- It should be possible to access the report SMS delivery

Thank you for your quick reply. I've had a MAC for several years but never used this option. (We are all infants when doing something for the first time.

Two groups with the same name in File and LDAP realms

Hi,
I configured WLS 6.0 SP1 to use an LDAP caching realm
as default one. In the LDAP server (Netscape Directory)
I have a group called Administrators. There is a group
with the same name in WLS own File Realm. When I click
on the Groups menu item in the administration console
I only get the Administrators group from the File Realm
listed. Is that expected? What will happen if I protect
a resource ti the Administrators group? Which one will
prevail - the one from the LDAP or the one from File
Realm? Or maybe the two will be merged?

Hi
First of all I want to know that where you created your class, In SE24 or in any programm.
if in SE24, then go to se24 open that class go to methods tab and check if that method name accurs at two places, if not, then
click on that method and check the code.
or if in a program.
then you must have defined like
class <class name> definition.
public section
method <method name>
endclass.
class <class name> implementation.
method <method name>
code for that method.
endclass.
It might be possible you have set the implementation part twice for that particular method, So please check and delete one implementation for that method.
Thanks

Unable to send mail to importet contacts via address book

Hi all,
I've searched the web without finding a solution to my issue with one of my users, so I had to create my own thread.
My issue is that one of my newly employed users importet a large amount of contacts (over 3000) from his previous workplace (which worked after a little trouble via manually importing a .pst file), but when he tries to add contacts to a mail via address
book and send the mail, he receives a mail back with "the following recipient(s) cannot be reached"
I can resolve the issue by copying the mail address, under the contacts profile, and pasting it in the "Email" field, basically retyping the same mail. The mail will then go through without any return mail stating the above error. I could do the
same for all 3000 contacts, BUT that is a lot of time needed, which I would really like to avoid.
We are running Exchange 2010 and Office 2013.
I'm hoping for a fix from one of the clever minds in here!
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Does the issue happen when sending mails to all these 3000 contacts? Please send test message by adding other contacts to a mail via Contacts in Address Book to check whether the issue can be reproduced.
Please make sure the latest patches and service packs are installed for your Outlook 2013. Additionally, please try the following test to narrow down the issue:
1. Please switch to People panel in Outlook, click a imported contact, click Email in HOME tab. Then send a message to check whether this message can be sent successfully.
2. Please open the Contact PST file in Outlook instead of import PST file. Then do step 1 to send test message and check whether the issue persists.
If the issue doesn’t happen when sending message to contacts in opened PST file, it indicates the Contacts which is saved in the PST file should be correct. The issue may be related to Contact resolved in Outlook client. Please create a new Outlook contact
or create a new Outlook profile to have a try.

Delelet about 2000 contact groups with same starting sequence for name

Hi,
I have about 2000 contact GROUPS, which I need to delete. All groups start with _ModGrp and were created by a Deutsche Telekom app (according to the groups names) on my iphone and syncronized to all my devices. I´ve reported this app to apple a while back and the bug got fixed, however I still have all those groups.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

All recently created Group Chats will be Cloud based group chats. It doesn't matter whether a group is created using Skype 6.21 or 7.0 version. Obviously, all groups created using 7.0 are cloud based, because the 7.0 version was not yet available when P2P groups could still be created.
Groups created in the past using 6.21 version might still be P2P type but they can be accessed by the 7.0 version too.
However, groups created on one Skype device are not automatically added to Contact List on Skype clients installed on other devices.
As pointed out by Capreolus, the group created using 6.21 should appear in the Recent tab whenever some one sends a new message to this group, and from there it can be added to the Contact List. At least in theory, this should work. The "real life" might be unpredictable.

Can't send mail on iOS 5 devices with iCloud

A long time ago I signed up for a .Mac trial to use that address with iChat. The trial expired, and, as expected, the address continued to work with iChat, though it no longer functioned as an email address. It then came to be my Apple ID. Now, having set that Apple ID up for use with iCloud, my iOS devicess are having trouble sending, and only sending email from my iCloud address. The reason is this: I logged into <username>@mac.com for iCloud (as that's my Apple ID), and everything set up right except the mail address that iOS Mail thinks I have. It thinks the mail address for the iCloud account is <username>@mac.com. When I send mail to <username>@me.com, my iOS devices get it just fine, but when I try to send mail back, it tries to send it from the @mac.com address, and therefore fails as that is not a valid email address.
I've tried to go into the settings and change the email address that it uses for iCLoud, but with no luck. I see a place to change it, but it is grayed out and won't let me select it and bring up a keyboard to change it.
Is there any way to tell it that it assumed the wrong email address for my iCloud? Or is there no way to send iCloud email from my iOS devices?
Thanks in advance!
P.S. I can send mail via iCloud from the web app and from Apple Mail (OS X Lion), but not from iOS devices because of this glitch. I can also send mail from iOS devices using other email accounts (Gmail, Yahoo).

I found a work around that works. Got to Settings...Icloud....account......advanced....outgoing mail server.....
Add an "other" server.
Host Name p01-smtp.mail.me.com
Put in your me.com email address as username and your Apple ID password
SSL is on
Authentication is password
Server port 587
This worked for me.....I will use this until the bug is fixed. (you may need to use p02, p03 etc) Don't make this server your primary. Leave it in "on" status in the other category.
Good luck

Syncing gmail contact groups with ipad2

I wish to sync my gmail contacts groups using microsoft exchange on the iPad2. Everything syncs correctly except the gmail groups I have created for my contacts. Anyone have a solution ?

I just set up syncing with Gmail Contacts for my wife's iPad this morning. IOS doesn't handle Groups. I've seen lots of gripes about this in many places online. I've also seen it suggested that we should suggest this as a "feature" to Apple. I'm going to look all day today for a place to do this. I hope you will, too. Good luck!

Cant send mail from i phone 3s, with a tiscali account

I can no longer send mail from my tiscali mail account on my i phone 3s, or my ipad without going through web mail account. please can anyone advise

Isn't mail.virgin.net the name of the Incoming Server -- the incoming server, which you say is working is set up at Mail Preferences/Accounts/Account Information as to name of the server, Username, and password, along with entries in Mail Preferences/Accounts/Advanced for Port select for the Incoming.
However, if that is working for you, you must have it correct. For the Outgoing server, isn't the proper name for Virgin services smtp.virgin.net? In Mail Preferences/Accounts/Account Information, click on the arrows beside the name of the SMTP, and choose Edit Server List. Remove all, or all but one of any references to the smtp.virgin.net. Enter anew, or with the remaining server, click on the Advanced Tab there, and choose Use Custom Ports. Then enter the Custom Port to be Port 25, and set the Authentication to None, and have no entries in Username or Password. This is consistent with those specs I can online saying the SMTP does not require Authentication.
Also click Use this server only. Now if the smtp.virgin.net server is online, it should work.
