Tiger Mail to Leopard Mail - Auto Complete Addresses?

Hi there,
I've recently backed up my friend's complete Home folder from Tiger, along with all other Tiger assets required to hopefully make a smooth migration to Leopard.
NERD SCENARIO:
Apple Mail: My friend relied heavily on "Automatically complete addresses" in Apple Mail, otherwise known as Automatic Addressing, aka: auto complete TO: email addresses when typing a name. Unfortunately, when migrating to Leopard, he has now lost auto addressing after I migrated his old email (Inbox, Sent, Deleted, etc.) He's savvy, but not savvy enough to know to add his recipients to his Apple Address Book -- therefore Leopard Mail is only auto completing recent mail within this past week. I'm now trying to inform him to begin adding people to his Address Book so this doesn't happen again -- but it might be too late? He used to rely heavily on Auto Addressing to remember email addresses prior.
TRANSLATION:
1. How can I pull date or history from my backed up Mail folder from Tiger to import back into Leopard so "Auto Addressing" will remember email addresses prior?
2. Did I not backup his mail correctly? I burned an almost exact mirror of his hard drive to a DVD.
3. Has he lost his ability to auto address old email addresses? Since he didn't add them to his Address Book?
Thanks for any help!

I just did the same thing, transferring all my data from Tiger to a new Leopard MacBook Pro, and now I can't access ANY of my addresses from my old address book, even tho I can see all the data sitting in Library... How the heck do I get the hundreds of addresses into my new address book? And, why won't my new Mail pick up all the Auto-Complete addresses from the old program if I transferred everything over?

Populating Outlook 2013 auto-complete addresses via PowerShell

Hello,
I would like to use PowerShell to add auto-complete e-mail addressees to Microsoft Office Outlook
2013. My understanding is that since Outlook 2010 was released, the NK2 file has been retired in favor of integrating the auto-complete addresses with the PST file (see link below). With that in mind, how can I manipulate the PST file to accommodate
the auto-completion? Is there any documentation on the PST file structure that would allow me to inject this information into an existing PST? If a user has multiple PST files, how do you know which one contains the auto-complete entries — are they aggregated?

"The NK2 file has been retired in favor of integrating the auto-complete addresses with the PST file"
- I think this discription is not exactly.
In fact, Outlook 2010/2013 reads the autocomplete stream
from a message in the Associated Contents table of the Inbox of the mail account’s delivery store. (In another word, it is stored in mailbox site but is not on local). This
hidden message has a message class and subject of IPM.Configuration.Autocomplete. The autocomplete stream is stored on this message in the PR_ROAMING_BINARYSTREAM property (PidTagRoamingBinary
Canonical Property).
Go back to your quesion, the autocomplete data, whatever belongs which mail account’s delivery store, is temporarily cached in an autocomplete .dat file located in %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\RoamCache.

Removing Auto Complete Address Entry

For Mail, I set Compose preference to auto complete address entry. At some point, I have entered an incorrect email address. Now, when I start to type that person's email address, I am presented with both the incorrect and correct address -- and I can never remember which is correct.
How can I remove an auto complete address entry forever?

LCR,
To remove an old address go to Mail>Window>Previous Recipients...select and "Remove From List" for the one you no longer want.

Exchange Server 2013 / Outlook 2010 Auto-Complete address problems

Hi
We run an Exchange 2013 environment where end users use Outlook 2010.
For some reason several users (at least 5 so far, maybe more that haven't noticed yet) are complaining that they are now unable to add any additional address to the Auto-Complete cache. This can be resolved manually by emptying the cache from within
Outlook then disabling and re-enabling auto-complete but obviously they then have a blank slate.
My question is - is there anything that can cause this type of problem collectively? I have seen it previously, but occurrences have always been isolated to an individual user.
Thanks in advance

Hello,
You can try use NK2View tool to modify your Outlook Auto Complete Addresses.
With NK2View you can delete unwanted email addresses from your autocomplete file and add new addresses from your address book as well as edit current email address entries. And NK2View is a free download from NirSoft and you can get the software by going
to their website.
Besides, the auto-complete cache is a outlook feature, I recommend you post your issue to outlook forum.

How can I delete an auto complete address in Mail that is not in Previouse Recipients?

Hello. I have an e-mail address that comes up in auto complete in my e-mail when sending. It is NOT in previous recipients and
I am unable to delete it. Hope someone can help me with it. Thanks

Have found the answer on Apple discussion and was able to delete it in my Address Book.

How can i delete all the "auto complete" addresses on my iPad mail

I want to give my old iPad 1 to a relative . I'd like to leave all the apps for her but not all the "auto complete" contacts which appear when I use the Mail function. These names are not on "contacts" and seem to have been accumulated from mails I have sent/received over the years. is there a way to just delete these without doing a complete delete of everything on the iPad?

Yes, but it is very tedious. You will have to begin typing an email address in the To: field in order to bring up those suggested email addresses. Then you tap the blue "I" next to the email address. In the next window that appears, swipe down to Remove from Recents and tap that to delete the address. You would have to do this for every single email address that you have ever received an email from, that is not in your contacts app.
But what I am curious about is why wouldn't you remove your email accounts from the iPad? That will eliminate the problem altogether. You don't want to give the iPad to your relative that way, do you?

Mail won't auto complete address completely

Hello. This may be hard to explain properly but here goes! In Mac Mail, when I type an address in the TO line, it auto completes the address and it is highlighted in blue, but I have to click in the text portion of the message in order for it to become one address in the TO line. I'm quite sure in Mavericks, that once I had begun to type the address, it would auto complete completely and I could go on to the Subject line. Hope someone can assist in this. Thanks.

Thanks Eric, that is a solution of sorts but I would find it better if it would be done without having to click in the subject area or
hitting return as you suggest. Thanks for your input.

Tiger Mail to Leopard Mail turmoil

I have just finally made the leap from OSX Tiger to Leopard and so far everything is cool...BUT when it comes to the mail program I am about to pull my hair out. I have copied, by hand, all of my mail settings, incoming and outgoing, and I keep getting errors when trying to send mail. I can recieve emails just can't send. On Tiger Mail I even had a specific port with SSL designated and when I tried to use that same port the Leopard mail program wouldn't let me use the port???
Why would server settings that have been working in Tiger for 5-6 years not work with Leopard

I had actually only gotten a message about the port once, but mostly my servers are offline. everytime I try to send an email I get a message to choose another server...
this is what I get everytime. from what I am finding online, this is happening alot with Leopard and Mail3.x

Outlook Client Can't Send Mail through Leopard Mail

One of our clients is on a Windows XP machine running Outlook. She had no trouble receiving or sending before we migrated to Leopard from Tiger 10.4.10. Now she is able to receive mail but is unable to send. We have set up other test Win XP Outlook clients and they show the same problem.
Does anyone have Outlook clients successfully sending mail via a POP account on Leopard Mail Server? If so what are the Outlook settings?

Here is the system log during a test session with Outlook set to connect without ssl. Astrid, the Outlook user, connects via webmail (imap) first and then with Outlook (pop) and then with webmail again. Note there is no smtp connection to send mail. The Outlook error message follows the system log below.

Auto complete address bar URL alphabetical

When I start to type in the address bar the drop down auto complete shows many choices but the first two are sites I rarely visit and they are not in alphabetical order.
The site I'm usually typing is first alphabetically and usually I have dozens of different pages I visit on that site. Obviously not a reall problem just a curious inconvenience.

Hi ScoobTheNoob,
I am bad a rhyming, but Safe Mode essentially only disables add ons. I would disable them one by one to find the culprit.

How to stop Calendar from auto-completing addresses?

When I want to add both the name and location of a place for a Calendar event's location (say, the name and address of a restaurant), Calendar and/or its integration with Maps will auto-complete the address. But when it does, it removes the name, and only fills the address.
Almost every time I then try to manually enter the name, it still changes it to address-only when I save it.
Example:
What I want it to look like:
Restaurant Name
123 Address Rd
City, ST 00000
But what it auto-fills:
123 Address Rd
City, ST 00000
United States
How do I get it to stop auto-changing it, and to accept my changes the way I want them?

agreed!
tho, i seem to be able to go back & "edit" it to put the restaurant name back in - but when i do, it looses the map connection (argh).

Mail app very slow auto completing recipient field

after typing in a few characters in any recipient field in mail I get the spinning beach ball for up to 20 seconds while mail tries to automatically complete the address, is there anyway to reduce the lag time without turning this feature off.I have cleared the "previous recipients" window. LDAP is also configured (doesn't seem to make any difference). Making mail unusable at the moment....help greatly appreciated

Please confirm that in your Home folder's Library, you find the folder Application Support, and in that folder, you find the AddressBook folder. Open the AddressBook folder and report the files and folders within. (~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook)
Also, again in the Finder, check ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.addressbook.plist for dates created and last modified. I am thinking this one may need to be removed, and AB allowed to create another, but not yet suggesting that.

The Mail.app saves all message recipients in the list of Previous Recipients in Mail and this list can grow over time especially if your sent a larger number of messages.
The address autofill feature pulls from the Address Book and the list of Previous Recipients in Mail.
At the Mail.app menu bar, go to Window and select Previous Recipients.
A previous recipient already entered in the Address Book will have a vCard icon to the left of the name or email address.
You can remove a previous recipient from the list or add a previous recipient to the Address Book that is not already entered.
It is a good idea to purge the list of Previous Recipients not entered or that you want or need to be entered in the Address Book from time to time.

How do I delete auto-complete addresses in iPhoto?

Help! I've found a related discussion for deleting obsolete addresses in Apple mail and on the iPad (brilliant, by the way!), but neither solution seems applicable in iPhoto. Several old or incorrect addresses are offered when I address photos to share. Apple store personnel were not familiar with the problem and said simply that iPhoto 'wasn't designed to do that, it's all together different'. Very frustrating. Any ideas?

Could you elaborate on this 'solution' you mention? There's only one place that iPhoto gets email addresses, and it's from Address Book or by you entering it manually, after which it's in Mail's list of Previous Addresses. So deleting an address from there is the only way to get rid of it.

.Mac Mail, Yahoo & Leopard Mail - How to get all in sync?

Hi there,
I'm trying to get .mac mail to syncronize my yahoo mail and all the folders to my computer and .mac. However, it appears that .mac webmail is not pulling in what is on Yahoo or my computer. Does anyone know what the settings are?
Thanks!

>>I have Admin credentials[ Username and Password] , by using this i need to Access all user's mail boxes and Contacts.
Admin credentials mean nothing in regards to Mailbox access, so to use delegate access you would need to grant rights to the every Mailbox using Add-MailboxPermission (or if you only want access to the Contacts folder use add-mailboxfolderpermission
to add/change rights on the contacts folder) or you need to setup and use EWS Impersonation
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/dd633680(v=exchg.80).aspx .
>>And i read aboutimpersonation that all needs permissions.
By default the only user that can access mailbox content is the owner of the mailbox, you will only be able to access content in a Mailbox if its has been shared with you or you grant youself rights to the mailbox using Exchange Admistrative credentials.
All of this will leave an audit trail.
Cheers
