Unknown "from" email address when I compose new email

Hello,
Starting last night, I noticed that when I go to compose a new email, an unknown email address defaults into the "From" section of the new email. If I pull down on the unknown address, my real address is there, but not selected. I can select it manually.
I tried going to "Email Settings" and making my email address the default, but it keeps auto filling this unknown address into the "From" section of the email. The save is not sticking.
Does anyone know how to delete an email address once it is showing up in the "From" section?
Much appreciated.
P.S. I'm wondering if either my email or the Verizon system got hacked because this just happened from one moment to the next

#1 In the e-mail UI, go to Mail under My Settings
#2 Where it says Default From Address, select the e-mail address that you want the mail to come from.
#3 Press Save.

Why does aol not auto enter email addresses when I compose an email?

why does aol not auto enter email addresses when I compose an email?

what a ridiculous decision to change from "starts with" to "contains".
I have a further problem - having selected the address I want from the umpteen options pulled from my address book, I then press enter to add another line for another address.....and the first address I selected changes to a completely different address!
And also addresses from the address book which previously appeared only in black now randomly appear in red.
help please!

How do I copy an email address from my address book into a new list that I am creating?

I am creating a new list for email and want to be able to select the email addresses from my existing address book. I don't seem to be able to do this very basic thing. Is there a trick that I don't know?

I don't want Thunderbird to mark multiple emails from same address when I haven't opened them.

When I get multiple emails from the same account--whether a business account (say, Amazon) or a personal one (my friends and family), it marks them as read when I have never opened them. This is a new problem that I've never had until about a month ago.
It's pretty frustrating because I'm missing a lot of emails since I think they're read since they are marked as read, but I've never seen them.
I think the problem began in May or June, but in March I got an iPhone when I'd had a blackberry before then. I add that in case it's significant. I've never opened the emails, and sometimes not even seen the subject line on my phone, so I think that's unrelated, but I add this in case it is. I have not opened the emails on the iPhone, though, so I'm not sure if this is a factor.
I want them to remain marked as Unread like they always did before. I've had Thunderbird about four years, and this is a new prob.
Thanks so much for your help!

I've never seen this happen. Each email messages is distinct and separate; having read one should never automatically affect others, regardless of who sent them to you.
The Blackberry is interesting; it can be configured to make its own local copies and so doesn't affect the status of messages on the server. So you can delete messages on the Blackberry without removing them from the server. I'm not sure how it handles read/unread status. I have the impression it ignores the read/unread status on the server and only indicates when you've read them on the Blackberry itself.
However, I don't have and never have used any appleware, so I can't speak for any interactions your iPhone may be responsible for. It may be useful to keep an eye on the server and see if the read/unread status there reveals anything about how, why and when this is happening.
Are the affected messages separate and distinct, or parts of a continuing discussion thread? Any possibility it is marking an entire thread as read?

Why do I find unknown e-mail addresses when I begin to type in a known address?

I'm using an IMac and am up to date on my version of OSX, V10.8.4 and have discovered a problem with Mail. When I want to send an e-mail I will type in the address. The first letter of that address triggers a drop down box showing all the e-mail addresses starting with that letter that are in the system. I started to look thru the llist of addresses and found some e-mail addresses of people that are not in my address book and I have never sent to or received from. Where do they come from?

As the folder indicates they were "Previous recipietns". Perhaps you replied some passed around emails from friends with more than one email address in the address panel (cc: or bcc:)?

How to revoke everything from a user when opening a new session.

HI,
I am using oracle 10g Express Edition and SQL Developer.
I have 2 user, 2 database connections in my SQL Developer.
First user is Oracle and its database connection is called TCF.
Second user is SMITH and its database connection is called TCF_SMITH.
Oracle user has privileges to do anything.
SMITH user has no privileges except for CREATE SESSION.
What I am trying to achieve is assign a user to a role (this role will have grants to select, insert , update from tables) for the current session (this step is successful), and then revoke
The role from that user (set it back to its default/or revoke everything from it) if opening another session, or session has been terminated (what I am trying to achieve).
From TCF I was able to do the following:
CREATE synonym SMITH.EMP_IOD FOR EMP_IOD;
CREATE ROLE TCF_I;
GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE ON EMP_IOD TO TCF_I;
GRANT TCF_I TO SMITH;In TCF_SMITH
SMITH has the same privileges as TCF_I.
so, smith now can select, insert , and update from EMP_IOD table.
If I open another TCF_SMITH session, and select * from EMP_IOD I should not be able to see any of the records.
I am trying to make this session base only. Unfortunately when opening another session I am able to select, update and insert records in the new session.
Is there a way to make this session based ?
How can I revoke everything from user SMITH from TCF connection ?
Thanks,

Oh My Good Lord!
Rooney,
What are you attempting to do ?
In programming anything can be achieved, but there are speicifc tools to solve specific problems .
I think you are trying to use fork to paint a wall* (If painting the wall indeed is your requirement).
The "need" as you say...
+The need for this is to grant the user different roles each time the user logs in.
for example I can log in 5 different time in one week with different role each time.
Moday I could have access to X,Y,Z,
Tuesday I could have access to X,A,B
Wednesday I could have access to A,B,C.+
... is to solve WHAT PROBLEM?
Please describe your original requirement , not what you think should be the solution/tool to satisfy the requirement.
In your previous thread you "solved" privilege/role problem by creating SYNONYM. That does not compute at all.
Re: database roles seems like its not working for me - your help is appreciated
Think about it. We are here to help each other as best we can.
Please read more* about Oracle capabilities and "tools" it provides.
http://tahiti.oracle.com/
Especially the Oracle Concepts Guide ...
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14117_01/server.101/b10743.pdf
Also, please take time to respond as "helpfully" as possible. each response from you should take you closer to the solution.
Hopefully, your original requirement will be solved.

Connection Pool Name Missing from Drop Down when Creating a New Datasource

Hi All,
I'm running Weblogic Server 8.1. I've successfully created a connection pool for DB2 using the Non-XA JDBC driver from IBM (Version 7.1). When I attempt to create a datasource for this pool and un-check the "Honor Global Transactions" checkbox, the connection pool is missing from the dropdown on the next page of the wizard. If I check the checkbox, the connection pool appears in the list.
I experience this behavior on one instance of Weblogic Server, but not on another (I can see the pool whether or not the check box is checked).
Is there some setting on the connection pool that could cause this behavior?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve

I would have you compare the JDBCConnectionPool entry
between the two instances.

Mail gets stuck importing messages from Time Machine when setting up new Lion Macbook Pro

I just used time machine to set up my new 13-in mid-2012 Macbook Pro and am having trouble setting up the Mail application. It opens fine, asks me to import my messages, takes about an hour and a half, then gets stuck at "less than a minute." I then have to cancel out, and restarting causes the whole process to start over.
I've tried deleting the Envelope Index, but that didn't help. I also tried restarting the computer. Hitting "Cancel" instead of "Continue" to try to set up Mail without importing my messages just exits the application.
Any ideas why it hangs at the very end, and how I can avoid this?

Did anyone find a solution here?
This has happened to me after numerous crashes over the years and just did again. Seems to be a recurring problem when dealing with lots of mail messages.
Today, after 3 attempts, it still hangs up on 50,951 of 166,972 (yes there are a lot and for a reason).

How do I prevent my content from being erased when adding a new device to itunes?

I've had my 4s for about a year now and I just got a new windows laptop. I installed itunes and signed in but i dont know how to add my phone to this itunes. I know that normally you just plug your phone into the computer and it does it automatically but I know sometimes doing this will erase the content of the device. I have a lot of pictures and music on there that I obviously dont want to lose. So how can i add my phone to this new computer without losing everything?

Address book missing in New Message Window

Although I can append the Address Book icon to the toolbar in the main Mail window, this is not acessable from the New Message Window. I have several email accounts and prefer to not use the auto-complete tool in Mail. However, I'd rather not have to enter the email address manually. In Snow Leopard, I could search the addressbook directly from the new message window.
How do I add address to the "To Field" from my address book once a new message is created besides drag and drop from Address Book app?

Hi.
You can add the contact to Address Book once you have sent the message. Go to Sent, select the message, and when you see it on the preview pane, in the "To" field, click and hold on the address you want to add, and select "Add to Address Book" from the drop down menu.
Good Luck.

How to remove a from email address when composing a new email?

when I compose a new email in the from drop down list there are three emails that are mines that i can use. there is an @icloud.com email there that i did not create. how do i remove it?

Hi, AC360.
First, ***** won't help you here. People here are users just like you and I, and as both of us, they like to be treated with respect. So, adding bad-word-like characters won't get you any faster or closer to your solution. And even if you don't want it, you got it. iCloud is here to stay and until Apple decides to change its cloud-based service name, we'll all have icloud.com e-mail addresses.
But as stated before, you didn't lose your @me.com address and you're not forced to use your icloud.com one.
Now, focusing on your problem, since you're annoyed because the @icloud.com address is listed in your "from" drop-down, you can simply remove it from there by:
1. Access iCloud web interface at www.icloud.com
2. Click the Mail icon (it's the blue one with an envelope in the middle. You can't miss it. )
3. On the top right corner of the next screen, you'll see a gear-like icon. Click it.
4. Click "Preferences"
5. Click "Composing"
6. In the "Send From" section, uncheck the address [email protected] (where "yourname" is your own iCloud username)
7. Click "Done"
8. You're done.
See? Problem solved. Now you can sleep tight not worrying about what Bad Apple tried to force down your throat.
Hope I have helped.
Be good, stay calm, and respect other children here at the playground, ok?
Cheers,
JP
