Several G-mail accounts - Issues managing address books

I have four different G-mail accounts registered on my Q10. It is extremely frustrating that I cannot change which account address entries are tied to, or that I cannot choose what account a new entry is associated with.
Is it possible to change an existing address entry? If it is currently associated with account A, can I change it to account B?
When adding a new entry, can I dictate which Gmail account it is tied to?
Please help!

Since the contact lists are tied to the individual gmail accounts you can't move contacts from one list to another. However, when you add a new contact you will get an option to choose which account(s) to put the new contact in.
However, that option to choose is only available in OS 10.2 or higher and since you're with TMobile you probably don't have that yet. However, we can fix you up!
Follow these instructions to update your OS so that you have the contact list options you're needing. It usually takes about 30-60 minutes but can take up to two hours depending on the individual device.

Account options - Refresh address books / rules range

Hi Forum,
sometime I get (annoying) calls that there are old users on distribution lists which are already deleted. They get an error message if they send mails to that list...
So far I could always resolve that issue by simply refresh the system groupwise address book manually.
My question now is how I could reduce the mentioned refresh range in the account options to 1 day e.g. via C1 or some other way (default is 7).
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance :)
Cheers,
Pascal

Hi Pascal,
Firstly double-check that nightly user upkeep is running on your post offices. This process removes deleted accounts from personal address books.
As far as changing the setting for a caching/remote mailbox to download address books every 1 day instead of the default of 7 days - I never found a way to automate this. We manage this manually. Fortunately for us, we the IT people, setup the caching mailbox for each user, so the process of changing this setting to 1 day is well documented.
Perhaps there's a registry key - but I'm not sure.
Cheers,

This helps the storage and purpose of email as well. I could always log into online email account to find history of emails.

How do I create a separate Address Book? I'm not asking about a mailing list but an address book where the addresses are not mixed in with my regular address b

How do I create a separate Address Book? I'm not asking about a mailing list but an address book where the addresses are not mixed in with my regular address book. I already have three address books created for me by Thunderbird. I add all new addresses to one of those but am afraid to delete the other address books because some of their addresses are not repeated in my "main" address book. So if I don't delete all the names in one of the existing books, I need to create an empty book that will not mix the addresses with those in another address book. HOW DO I CREATE A NEW, EMPTY ADDRESS BOOK? I want to be able to create various mailing LISTS using the addresses in this new book so I will eventually have a special address book with a variety of mailing lists I can use as I wish.

In 24.4.0 there is no File|New|Address Book. There is File|New|Address Book Contact. How do I create a new address book ?

Mail not integrated to Address Book?

My Mail and Address Book do not appear to be talking very well....
Out of the box, the mail application does not appear to let me select recipients from the Address Book when composing a message. I added the "Address Book" button to the toolbar for composing a message. I can click this and bring up the address book, but there is still seemingly no way to select recipients from the Address Book.
I read somewhere that the "auto complete" function is supposed to reach out to Address Book when entering recipients' names in the "To" line. This is not working. I found some suggestions to go and delete a file in the Library that governs this function. I did that, but it has not worked.
What am I missing? Why is it so difficult to select people from your address book and send them an email from the Mail application? Is something broken here or is this a reality for this Mac? My wife is ready to kill me for throwing out her beloved PC....gotta figure this out!
Help!

There's something wrong with either your Mail app or your Address Book. I'm betting on the Address Book.
See my advice here: After Lion upgrade, my addressbook does not work++
Also, I realized with iCloud that there is now a Sources folder in the AddressBook and each subfolder has its own addressbook-v22.abcddb index file. You might have to remove those, also.

Mail's Add to Address Book inverts name order in Address Book

Using Mail's 'Add to Address Book' function results in inverted first/last name order in Address Book: Under every combination of setting for 'show first name before/following last name' and 'sort by first/last name' in the AB prefs, using Mail's Add to Address Book on 'Bob Jones' results in 'Jones' in the first name field and 'Bob' in the last name field.
Are others also seeing this? Any workarounds?

Thanks for testing, Ernie. I double-checked my system using your settings and still saw the names in the wrong fields. Something must be off with my setup but I have no idea what it might be! If anyone can replicate this problem, maybe we can figure it out.

APPLE PLEASE HELP! Mail hangs after start, address book never launches!

I've been reviewing postings since friday last week about issues with mail/address book after 10.5.2 and here's a summary:
• Symptom 1: Mail launches slow
• symptom 2: mail hangs while downloading new mail (in my case from 1 particular account according to the activity viewer, while downloading the last, most recent msg, the msg does not have attachments but it stays downloading forever, force quit required)
• symptom 3: mail does not send msgs (in my case it sends one-by-one after each force quit/relaunch)
• symptom 4: duplicate msgs appear, particularly msgs received after 10.5.2
• symptom 5: mail does not quit,, force quit necessary. in my case after i force quit/ relaunch several times mail launches somewhat "normal" but after a reboot or relaunch, problems appear again. (duplicates never go away)
• issues with mail after 10.5.2 are not ISP/email host related, we all have different ISPs and hosts and we all have the same symptoms.
• i also experienced problems with address book, it starts but the window never opens or if it does is completely empty, no functions are possible. this also affected ichat as the info for the contacts cant be retrieved from address book.
thanks for reading and please contribute to the thread if you agree with the summary, APPLE NEEDS TO HELP US!!!

Hi everybody,
I have received an update from my friend who suffered from the Mail problem. In fact, the errors occurring AFTER the restore from Time Machine were due to an ISP's problem. So the restore really worked after all.
So to put it in a nutshell, I would recommend the following process:
1. Quit (or force-quit iff necessary) Mail asap when the application gets stuck. Do not open Mail again.
2. Restore ~/Library/Mail folder from the youngest Time Machine Backup you know Mail was behaving properly.
3. Run the 10.5.2 Combo Updater while all applications are shut down (just to be on the safe side).
4. After the inevitable Restart, check Software Update for more updates and install if necessary.
5. Run Mail and let it rebuild all the Mailboxes.
This should work fine to solve the problem. With the AddressBook case, I should try a similar workflow to get it fixed, yet I haven't tried that one so far.
BTW: I can only encourage you to really get an external drive and use Time Machine frequently. Even if it seems to be expensive in the first place, imho TM is the best piece of software Apple has been inventing for ages. In my case, I also tried to save money and took a leftover 40 gig HD from an old server and got myself a usb-2.0 external box for around 10 euros. Although space is limited, i have been backing up hourly since 1 February and there's still 12 gig to go. I only back um my home directory, as all my personal data, settings and mail are stored there.

Updating Contact info from Mail not displaying in Address Book

So I was updating an existing contact from Mail using the data detector feature. Address Book was already running in background. I clicked on the data detector and said "update existing contact". I pick the contact that I want to update. When I go to address book to see if the contact was updated, it "appears" that it hadn't updated. However, if I exit address book and restart the data does appear. So it get's in the database but doesn't display until exit and restart.

After several days of trying, i finally seem to have it working. What i ended up doing was exporting my backing up my addresses on another computer that still had Snow Leopard on it. I exported both as .abbu and vCards. I was then able to get the vCards into iCloud.
Problem was, i could not get them to import into Contacts in Mavericks. I could not even add the iCloud account to contacts. It would let me sign in and choose contacts, but iCloud never showed up in the accounts nor did the contacts show up in Contacts.
After trying repairing permissions and resetting the PRAM to no avail, it occured to me to delete the Address Book folder from /Library/Application Support
Once that folder was gone, i was able to add iCloud to the accounts and import the .abbu file from Address Book.
So if you did not export your Address Book contacts before updating, you will need a second computer that is still running Snow Leopard to export the contacts. Then you can delete the Address Book folder from the Library and you should then be able to import the contacts into Contacts on Mavericks.
Hope this helps.

Mail - repeatable crash on address book search

Mavericks 10.9.2 w/ Apple Mail Version 7.2 2012 iMac 3.4GHz i7 32GB
All I have to do it type the letter "c" (no quotes) in the To: field and Apple Mail crashes.
Quitting Mail, restarting the Mac doesn't resolve. Same problem reappears.
DISCLAIMER -
My Address Book (Contacts as they call it now) has never worked right since migrating.
I've migrated Macs multiple times and seem to be carrying over some issues...
I have future plans on moving all my files to a new user account as outlined here - http://pondini.org/OSX/Transfer.html
and DELETING this other/current account - but that's in the future.
Any ideas to temporarily resolve this would be great. Thanks!

Can we use two icloud accounts in the address book app in Lion?

The answer is yes because we are doing it for months in our business. This way we can share our business address book between our 3 Mac and iphone and ipad and still have our private address books on all those devices without sharing them. It seems however that the app Address book cannot understand the situation. When I select my business card in my address book and say that it is "my business card" it appears the same on my colleagues' computer. they have then me instead of them as their business card and when they open their session on their computer I'm there! It seems that iCloud hasn't been thought for the purpose of sharing address books. Can we have a business icloud that doesn't stick to one persone? Or can we have several "me" in an icloud address book? Is there any other way to share parts of an address book without sharing it entirely? We'd like that it works like in ICal.

Currently, we don't have a Volume license. Basically what we need to achieve is a number of macs to have the same information particularly calendars, reminders, numbers file, and contact informations from one cloud. Without my manager's own icloud conflicting with his files or the public icloud.

Set outgoing account based on address book group

Hello -- I am looking for a way to automatically set the account of new outgoing messages based on the address book group membership of the email recipient. For example, a script or rule that works something like:
If [any recipient] belongs to group [employer1] set message account [employer1];
If [any recipient] belongs to group [employer2] set message account [employer2];
If [any recipient] belongs to group [personal] set message account [personal];
etc.
Paul Berkowitz has written a very clever script to do exactly this for Entourage (see http://scriptbuilders.net/files/otheraccountx2.0.5.html) but I have been unable to locate an equivalent for Mail.app.
I would very much appreciate any suggestions regarding where to find (or how to build) a script, automator workflow, etc. that accomplished this task.
Thank you!
Adam

for some reason it can only script changes to messages that were initiated by apple script. At least that has been my experience. I would be VERY happy to be proved wrong on this.
Thanks for the feedback. Assuming your point above is correct, is it possible to create a script or workflow that initiates a new outgoing email message then changes the account to something other than the default? For example, I might might disable [cmd-n] for new messages, then set up new shortcuts linked to simple scripts so that that [ctrl-cmd-A] would initiate a new message with the account set for Employer Alpha and [ctrl-cmd-b] would initiate a new message with the account set for Employer Beta. An alternative solution might be to write a script to replace the usual [cmd-n] with a simple dialogue box that forces me to make a conscious decision about the From account every time I initiate a new outgoing email message.
My goal here is to prevent a situation in which I forget to manually switch from the default account to the correct account for an outgoing message, thus inadvertently sending email from the wrong address. Either of the solutions I described in the paragraph above would meet my needs... might one or both of these might be possible?
Thank you again for your support,
Adam

Mail in iOS 7 changes default mail account after entering addresses?

I just noticed that the Mail app in iOS 7 changes the sent from email address from my default to another account I have after entering in the send to address. When I first create the new email the correct default email address is showing (iCloud) but after I add any send to address it changes to another account (Hotmail) as the sent from account.
I checked my settings and iCloud is still set as the default account, I can click and change it before sending the email but I think this may be a bug unless there is something I missed.
Anyone else have this problem?

Oh, and just to add, whilst under Settings > Mail it does indeed state 'default mail account to use when an application outside of mail attempts to send mail'. However also when you are in the Mail app and on the main screen where you can see all your mailboxes, the Mail App also needs a 'default' account, and in my experience/opinion this is pulled from the Default account within Settings > Mail rather than which ever mailbox is top of the list within the Mail app (didnt work for me!)
But regardless, I have sent an email from an app outside of Mail and the issue is encountered:- I have my virgin.net as my default email (via Settings > Mail). I go into the Photo app, and select a photo to email. My virgin.net email is showing in the From box - so far so good. I select an email address for the To box. My From email address switches to my iCloud.com address. So this is the bug. It should not be doing this. This is the same issue it seems encountered by the original member of this thread. Anyone know how you alert Apple to bugs in their software?

Question about importing from mac mail to folder in address book

Is it possible to place imported email addresses (Mac email) into specific folder(s) in Address Book rather than into just the All Folder.? For example, I have several business addresses that I want to import from Mac Mail automatically into my Business Folder and several others that I want to go into Friends Folder. Can this be done? If so how? Thanks

The Address Book database is similar to the iTunes database and iPhoto database.
If you use iTunes then you know you can't place a song in a playlist without the song being in the primary iTunes database first and the same with iPhoto. You can't place a photo in an album with the photo being in the main iPhoto library first.
The same with Address Book. You can't place a contact in an Address Book group without the contract being in the primary Address Book "All" Group and I'm not aware of a way to place a contact in the primary All group and in a designated group at the same time.

Start up issues? Address Book and iSight

I just had the keyboard replaced on my MacBook at the Apple store, now the address book opens and the iSight camera turns on after restart. Any way to stop this?

The Apple Address Book data is stored, for each Mac user, in home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the entire folder to your backup). You could also export an archive file from Address Book using File - Export - Address Book Archive, and save it to your backup location.
Mail folders are stored in home/Library/Mail. However, it might behoove you to check whether you're using (or whether you have access to) an IMAP-type mail account, which would enable you to store folders on your mail server - thus lessening the need for individual backups.
Time Machine, if you set it up, would backup both mail and address books, along with everything else on the computer.
