Setting to show full email address

I am looking for a setting that will do either:
1. Show the full 'from' email address in the native ios email app by default, rather than just showing an alias. Instead of seeing "From: John Doe" it would show
"From: [email protected]"
or
2. Mark/highlight emails not from our domain. Similar to the "Mark addresses" setting which highlights outgoing email addresses if they are not in a qualified domain. I would like to be able to mark/highlight incoming emails not from our domain.
The reason being, to make identifying spam/phishing emails easier for our less technically inclined employees.

You're going to need to use a third party mail app. Mymail for example allows you to add filters and would allow you to separate emails from your domain and move them automatically to a folder which you specify. Of what I know, the native mail app does not have either of these two capabilities and what you see within the mail section in settings, is all you get.

Show full email address in Mail?

Just upgraded to a new rMBP. In Mail, the reading pane, I would like the "From:" line to display the user's email address, along with their "friendly name" (which is the only thing displayed now, unless I click on it to get a dropdown menu with the actual email address). Any way to do that? Thanks much.

My icloud emails arent arriving most of the time and a few days ago my iphone and ipad started showing "Can't Get Mail" box. This has not happened before since I set up the iclud email address with the purchase of my ipad about a month ago.

That's one of the weird things.. it recognizes it maybe 10% of the time. And usually, only after I do the two-button reset. Problem is.. since it won't charge above 2%, anytime I try to do a restore or anything like that using iTunes, my device shuts off and I lose whatever progress I'd made.
So, an update... after reading through a bunch of similar complaints (there are literally 1000's of them so there's NO WAY this isn't somehow ios7 related, thanks a lot APPLE ) I decided to try a restore in recovery mode. After 3 hours and several disconnections... I ended up having to just set it up as a new iPad, as the restore did nothing. Weirdly though... as I was doing the restore in recovery mode.. I noticed I'd gotten up to a 10% charge.. higher than it's been since September, so after setting it up as a new device, I turned it off and plugged it in using the wall charger. 2 hours later and I was up to 38%. Still not great, as my iPad, before ios7 could've fully charged twice in the amount of time it took for me to now get 28% more of a charge. And that's with a fully cleaned out device.. so that really ***** and I'm now more confused than ever.
But I'm gonna leave it overnight charging and see what I come up with tomorrow. Sadly, when I paid $600 for it in February, I never expected to have to play "wait and see" with it...

New message address shows the Name but not full email address

The email To: will show the name eg John Doe but not the full description [email protected] If I click on the tab by the name I will see the full email address referenced. If mail sees just the name it sometimes says John Doe does not appear to be a valid email. If I send an email to myself at other email accts I have (aol for example) the mail does arrive. I think this may be related to address book but not sure. If I enter a new email in the TO in a new message It keeps the entire email address, I think. Anyway just want some feedback about this since thee is a degree of uncertainty here

mail will indeed draw from address book's contacts. if you have in mail>preferences>viewing the option "use smart addresses" checked, then the name of the contact will be displayed in the to/from... fields and you can see the full email address when selecting the tab next to the name. so that is normal behavior. if you enter a new email address for which you do not have a contact card created in address book, then that will remain as an email address in the field you entered it to. you would have to create a card in address book, add that email address, and then the name of the contact would appear in an email field rather than only the email address.
hope this helps

When I send an email it displays the full email address instead of just the name even thought the person is in my contacts. How to fix?

Hi Sunny C,
Welcome to the Support Communities! The "From" field should be showing by default, but you can check or change your settings for Mail with the instructions below:
Mail (Yosemite): Set Mail preferences
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH19178
In the Composing pane, you can set the email account that you want to send new messages from.
Also, check the View command on the Menu bar. View > Message Attributes should have a checkmark beside the "From" field.
Cheers,
Judy

Full Email Address Header for Viruses and Spam?

I have been googling all day and trying to find out a method to display the full email header to display on the iPhone.
Most email clients (both web based and program based) have a method by which you can view the "original" message or the email header information. In the original message viewing one is able to see the entire mail header.
Most of already know that a person can send an email from an email server and pretend to be anybody they want. They populate the "name" the "pretend email address" it is coming from, the same address as the "reply to" (so it looks legit) and so forth. What the email header also contains, which I am not able to see on the iPhone is where the email was actually sent from (the email server it originated from) which is KEY to identifying and dealing with spam/virus types of email.
In the world of spam and virus laden emails, I have yet to find a way to display this information using the iPhone.
As a prime example..... There is a trojan virus out there saying facebook has changed your password and for you to open their .zip file for your new password. You can click on the FROM address contact link (showing the sender is "The Team" in the iPhone email client and it will open up the information it has in a contact type window. In the example mentioned above, if you do this it just says it is coming from "The Facebook Team" and show an email address of: [email protected]. Seeing this information one must automatically assume the email is legit right??? Of course it isn't. The people sending out the email just put that information in there to make it appear as if it is a legit email from a legit person/organization/company. However if one can actually see the email header itself one would easily be able to see the email's origination server/email-server did not come from facebook itself.(therefore automatic spam)
To help protect spam and potential virus laden emails from appearing to be coming from some "so-called valid email address" a method is needed in order to verify/validate who is actually sending the email itself so as to effectively and accurately identify these types of email and aid in the reporting of these emails to the appropriate organizations directly on our iPhones.
Is there any way to view the full email content header on mails received from other accounts on our iPhone to deal with spam/virus related emails we receive on our iPhones via Push? Or are we to have to wait and launch our email client in order to handle this (seems silly to have to need a computer to handle this as the iPhone is a computer is many aspects running a real operating system)?
Thanks in Advance for any replies.

To my knowledge there is no way to get message headers or source in the iPhone’s mail application. Because of apple's restrictions on third party apps, I doubt you'll see an app that does this as well. As tedious as it is, using Safari is your only choice.

How can i change the name in imessage from the full email address used as apple id on ipod touch?

I used my full email address to create an apple id - but on imessage it uses my apple id as my name as sender + i dunno how to change it so ppl dont get a messsage showing my full email address!

Open the Contacts app. List All Contacts and find the email address used by iMessage. Select the email address and tap the Edit button in the top right corner. Add your name to the top two lines. Tap Done.

Mac Mail displays full email addresses instead of contact name

I use the Mail application on my MacBook for managing multiple email accounts and use the Contacts application to manage my address book (self explanatory).
For example: I have saved PayPal's email address ([email protected]) into my address book as "PayPay" because of the high number of emails I receive from them. In Mail, each email I have received is displaying the full email address of the sender, rather than their address book name (whether it be a company or friend/relative) and this is making it to spot senders while scrolling.
Is there a setting where if the email address is in the Contacts app, the name of that particular contact appears rather than the full address?

whether your number or email address is desplayed depends on how you have Caller ID set.
Settings -> Messages ->Receive At ->Caller ID (chose what you want displayed)

How do you set-up a hotmail email address in mail

how do you set-up a hotmail email address in mail?
I cant seem to add it. any ideas why it cant connect to the server? what server address should i be using?
regards
Brendon

Hi bmuur,
I also had the same problem.
I clicked Microsoft Exchange and kept trying to add my hotmail account that way but it kept asking for a server address for it to work.
If you go into Internet Accounts and instead of clicking Microsoft Exchange scroll down to the bottom of the list and click Add Other Account...
It will ask what sort of account you want to be created and I selected Add Mail Account and clicked create.
Enter your full name, hotmail email address and password.
I then clicked create and it worked for me.
Hopefully this solves your problem.

I created an Apple ID for my daughter with her own gmail address, but I want her Apple ID and primary email address to be an iCloud email address. How can I do this? I can't set up an icould email address for her without first creating an Apple ID?

I'm not good with computers so please explain in simple way...:)
I also wonder what the best way is to set up accounts for children in a family. I dont want them to be able to purchase apps etc through the parents accounts, also some things we like to share as a family and others we don't want to share. Is there any good. clear, simple explanation from Apple Support about these issues? Or best to go to Apple store and go to genius bar or one to one advise?
thanks

You can set up an iCloud account which makes the iCloud email address you choose the Apple ID and thus the login for it:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/22283348#22283348
though I have to say I think it's more sensible if the ID is another address, both for security reasons (so people don't know what the login is) and as a contact address from Apple if the account were to stop working and they needed to contact you. So personally I would to to System Preferences, enter the GMail address which is an ID, and then choose a nerw @icloud.com address.
If she has her own iCloud account she will need either her own computer or her own user account on your Mac to be able to make use of it. You should note that under Apple's terms of use Apple IDs are only available to children of 13 and over.
As to purchasing apps, this is nothing to do with iCloud: it's iTunes, and the login can be different. So you can all sign into the same iTunes account but have different iCloud accounts. Or she can have her own iTunes account if she is of suitable age (credit card needed for purchasing apps).
If you have other children you should be aware that any one Mac or device can create only three iCloud accounts - this is tied to the serial number, not the user account, and once reached cannot be bypassed. You can of course sign into an iCloud account created on another device.

Updated my AppleID account info. Under password security shows an email address to be used to receive email with new password settings. I need to update that email address, how do I do that? Thanks!

Updated my AppleID account info. Under password security shows an email address to be used to receive email with new password settings. I need to update that email address, how do I do that? Thanks!

Thanks for the help Niel. I couldn't change the rescue email address (an address that no longer exists and is therefore useless) until I could correctly answer the security questions. After numerous guesses, finally got them right. Was then presented with the option to change the rescue email address. Guess the only other option was to have Apple Support make the change or reset my account info. Have made note of the correct answers so this won't happen again. Thanks for the fast response!!

How do I set up a different email address for HPePrint

how do I set up a different email address for HPePrint

@poloacuna
At this time you cannot reassign printer email addresses. Also, keep in mind If you delete a printer email address then you will not be able to use that same email address again for six months.

Why can't I set up a 2nd email address?

Ok so I followed all the help instructions for setting up a second email address and all is fine. I can send test emails to my first account and I receive them within the same inbox. But then I hit two roadblocks:
1.) When I reply to the test message it bounces back.
" (reason: 550 5.1.1 unknown or illegal alias"
2.) The password window keeps popping up. After entering my password I get "The POP server “pop-server.nyc.rr.com” rejected the password for user “(my new email account)”
What's going on???

Christina,
The password rejection could have several causes: The most common is that you're already logged into the new account - using webmail and Mail at the same time -, in which case you need to log out in order to log back into the mail account. Some providers put a block on logging in to an email account for a period of time after failed login attempts. Your Keychain may not have the right password stored for the account. Mail may not have the right password stored for the account. Your provider may allow only one account to be logged in at a time.
There's lots of room for speculation, but your best bet is to call up RoadRunner tech support and ask them to check the account and whether you are running afoul of one of the problems noted above.
The reason I said that you might have a single email mailbox with multiple aliases is this snippet from your original post: unknown or illegal alias.
