Using main email address of contacts inside Address Book with Mail 3.5

Hi all,
I am organizing a christmas dinner for 20th of December and I have inside address book a group called dinner. I have got 100 contacts and some of them have two email addresses. Some people have told me to send all the information to personal addresses. So when I create the email and call address book from the email message, it let me choose between both email addresses with a blue line. This choice is kept for next time and when I send the email message works but some people is still receiving the mail at the office. I wonder... how can I select the main email address for next time so I would only need moving the "dinner group icon" over the recipient line and that´s all?. Does anybody knows the way of doing that?
Regards,

If you selected their home email address and some say they get it at their work email, then it would seem that they are forwarding their email to their work address. If that's the case, there's nothing you can do about that.
You could always duplicate the group with a different name (Dinner work, for example) and remove their personal email addresses from the contacts in the group, as well as removing the work addresses from the original group.

Changing email of a contact in address book

Hey guys,
I want to change the email of a contact in address book.
my code is as follow.
but somehow it doesnt work.
do you know why?
- (BOOL)peoplePickerNavigationController:
(ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *)peoplePicker
shouldContinueAfterSelectingPerson:(ABRecordRef)person {
CFErrorRef anError = NULL;
ABMultiValueRef email = ABMultiValueCreateMutable(kABMultiStringPropertyType);
NSString *personEmail = [conversationHistory getReceiver];
ABRecordSetValue(person, kABPersonEmailProperty, email, &anError);
CFRelease(email);
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
return NO;

Congrats on finding a solution, David!
Actually the code you posted would've worked except that 'multi' isn't mutable. To fix that code, just make a mutable copy before adding the "other" email info:
- (BOOL)peoplePickerNavigationController:
(ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *)peoplePicker
shouldContinueAfterSelectingPerson:(ABRecordRef)person {
CFErrorRef anError = NULL;
ABMultiValueRef multi = ABRecordCopyValue(person, kABPersonEmailProperty);
ABMutableMultiValueRef mutableMulti = ABMultiValueCreateMutableCopy(multi); // <-- add
ABMultiValueAddValueAndLabel(mutableMulti, @"[email protected]", kABOtherLabel, NULL);
ABRecordSetValue(person, kABPersonEmailProperty, mutableMulti, &anError);
ABAddressBookSave(peoplePicker.addressBook, &anError);
CFRelease(multi);
CFRelease(mutableMulti);
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
return NO;

Sync Address Book with Mail Addresses

What's the trick to sync Address Book with Mail Addresses. My Mail Addresses has only a handful of my addresses from addresses from Address Book.
Thanks

After upgrading to Snow Leopard, when composing a message, the address is not completed when typing is begun. I have checked the Mail Preferences - Composing and there is a check mark beside "Automatically Complete Addresses". The "Configure I.DAP" window is blank and I do not know what, if anything, should be in that window.

Using O2M I imported my contacts into Address Book. However upon exiting the contacts are not saved. This is on a new Macbook Pro Lion OS. How does one save the newly imported contacts?

Using the program O2M I successfully imported emails from Outlook 2003 to Mail, and calendar events to iCal. However, repeated attempts to import contacts to Address Book have failed. The contacts appear to import, but when I close Address Book and reopen it, the contacts are gone. I tried File-Save, but Save is greyed out. This is a new Macbook Pro with the latest Lion OS. I wonder if O2M has not been updated to work with Lion. Or is there something I am overlooking in the import process?

Hi Denisej and others who have encountered the same problem,
I tried your work around. Unfortunately it did not work out for me because in my contacts there are an unknown number that still "refused" to be imported like that. When such a contact was in the group I selected for import the whole lot would be lost again after re-opening Address Book. Finally that meant that I had to import each contact one-by-one, each time with the need to close down Address Book. A job to go nuts and end up with a mouse injury. So I decided to use the Migration Assistant that Lion now offers
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3284404
together with Windows Migration Assitant on my old PC. Obviously both Mac and PC have to be on the same network. For this I did not need to do anything special. Both make use of the same router and that is apparently sufficient. When migrating the contacts Lion creates a new account, so you need to log in to that new account to see your migrated contacts. I used the Export Address Book Archive function in the Address Book menu to copy the lot to my own Apple account. I got rid of the new account and I was finally where I wanted to be in the first place.

Using an email to set up an address book list

Does anyone know if there is a way to use an email I have already sent to set up the list of recipients as a group in the address book? The list had over 100 recipients and I don't want to go through and drag them all one by one into a new group.

There is no easy way to do it using the built in mail app because there is no way to create groups in the mail app. You can create groups in the contacts app in your iCloud.com account on a computer and this groups will sync to the iPad contacts app, but you will not be able to email to a group with the mail app.
There are third party mail apps let let you create groups and email to those groups. I'm sure that there are others, but here are two that I have seen mentioned here in the past.

Sending an email to one contact that has multiple e-mail addresses?

This has to be really simple, but I can't find the answer....One person(contact) that has multiple e-mail addresses...can I not send to all their addresses at once?

Select address from contact in Address Book

Hi Guys
I'm making groups in Address book and when I add a card that has more than one email address, how do I choose one specific address?
I don't want all 3 that some have, nor do I always want the top 'home' address.
TIA

Timothy (et al),
Control-click (or right-click) on the group in Address Book, and select "Edit Distribution List..." This will open a second window that lists all the contacts in the group. Each contact is listed along with all of their email addresses, and one of them will be bolded. This is the "default" email address, and the one that will be used when emailing the group.
Change this address by simply selecting another, and it will become the one bolded, and the default.

Automatically adding contacts to Address Book with Mail?

Hello all,
This is my first post in the Apple Discussion forum, but I'm a happy Mac owner since July 2007. Here's a question I have; I searched to see if a similar topic appeared in previous discussions, but none turned up.
In Microsoft Outlook (on my work PC), I can set it up so that anytime I reply to an e-mail address from somebody new, the contact is automatically added to my address book. Is there a way to set that up with Mail and/or Address Book?
I was going through Address Book and noticed some VERY old contacts, but I know for some of them, I have more recent e-mail address. I hope I don't have to manually add all of them!
Thanks in advance for your help!
All the best,
MARK

Hi Mark, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Sadly, I don't know how to do it for received Mail, but ones you've sent to can be done in Mail. Select Window Menu item>Previous Recipients, press Command-A when the new window appears, and then click Add to Address Book, then in Address Book>Card Menu Item, select look for Duplicates.

Using 3 email, I want only one can create a mail

J'utilise 3 comptes email et quelques j'envoie un mail avec un mauvaise adresse expéditeur.
Je souhaiterais interdire l'envoi de mail sur certains comptes et ne les utiliser qu'en réception.
Merci de vos réponses ou de prévoir d'implémenter cette fonctionnalité dans une prochaine mise à jour.
Great software ! Thanks !

'''English:'''
If you are viewing emails in account 'A' and click on 'Write' then the FROM will use the email address of account 'A'.
If you are viewing emails in account 'B' and click on 'Write' then the FROM will use the email address of account 'B'.
However, in both cases it will send via the one SMTP server, if that SMTP setting has been changed as described..
In any new Write email you can select a different 'FROM email address from the drop down selection before sending.
The Default mail account (the one listed at the top) will be top of the drop down selection. You can change this in Account Settings. Select the account name and click on 'Account actions', then click on 'set as Default'. click on OK to save changes and close window.

When I use Thunderbird with Yahoo Groups, Google groups, and other email lists, I don't get a copy of my own emails back from the list (I do with Mail.app)...?

When I use Thunderbird with Yahoo Groups, Google groups, and other email lists, I don't get a copy of my own emails back from the list. I *do* when I use Mail, so it seems like a Thunderbird thing. I'd really like to see my own emails come back to me in the conversation so that I know where my remarks fall in the discussion; it's very disorienting when you can't tell if your email has arrived at the list, or not. I can't seem to find the setting, and I've searched thru your help topics, etc., to no avail. Thanks.

It's both gmail and mac.com email accounts, and it's all email lists -- including some privately hosted on servers, that are not Google groups, not Yahoo groups.
I'm not sure what you mean by "saving a copy of your messages yourself" in Mail -- if I email to the lists with Mail on my laptop or iPad, I can see it on my desktop computer too, right in line with other email messages in the thread, after the list resends the message I've submitted. It's only Thunderbird that this "invisible posts" behavior happens, and it didn't use to happen this way. I used to get my emails posting right in the thread.

Can i use iphone 5s t mobile contact free in indonesia with my indonesia sim card?

Anyone help me, can i use iphone 5s t mobile contract free in indonesia with my indonesia sim card?

Try reading the question again, but this time properly and you will see that the question does not say "mobile contract"?.
What it actually says is "iPhone 5s T-Mobile Contract Free". There is a difference and as you have not read the question properly you are providing a response that is just not applicable.

How can I re tag my iCloud from an old e-mail address to a new address

To change the iCloud ID ("email address") you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted. If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Convergence Corporate Address Book with Mail Groups

Hi
I'm not sure if this expected behavior or a bug but a search for a mail group in the Corporate Directory of Convergence returns the name of the group in the list in the left panel but no details of the group (such as mail address) in the panel on the right. The Corporate Directory search works correctly for people and returns the full set of attributes.
The version of Convergence is:
./iwcadmin -V
Sun Convergence 1.0-4.01 (built December 8 2008 - 14:54:08)Platform:
uname -a
SunOS mail1 5.10 Generic_138889-03 i86pc i386 i86pcThe iwcadmin options relating to search:
ab.corpdir.[default].searchattr = entry/displayname,@uid,person/surname
ab.corpdir.[default].searchfilter =
ab.corpdir.[default].urlmatch = ldap://corpdirectoryThere are no errors in iwc.log and the LDAP search suggests all attributes are requested. For example, an extract from the LDAP access log when searching for a group called cn=systems:
[01/Apr/2009:09:59:54 +0100] conn=10882 op=31 msgId=101 - SRCH base="o=xxxxx" scope=2
filter="(|(uid=systems)(sn=systems)(cn=systems))" attrs="* createTimestamp"
[01/Apr/2009:09:59:54 +0100] conn=10882 op=31 msgId=101 - RESULT err=0 tag=101 nentries=1 etime=0In case there are some missing objectclasses or attributes in our group definitions (which were imported from an earlier version of Messaging Server (5.2)), here is an LDIF file for an example group:
dn: cn=systems,ou=Groups,o=xxx.com,o=isp
mgmanHidden: false

In the next Convergence patch (-07 a.k.a. Convergence update 2) selecting a corporate directory group will display additional group related information including a brief listing of the members of the group and email address.
Note however that group view functionality will not mirror that provided by UWC/CE i.e. the ability to expand and view details for each group member. There is an existing RFE to have this functionality added in a future revision of Convergence:
RFE#6801528 - "Provide mechanism to view members of corporate directory groups"

How do you add an attachment to an email (document, photo, contact, etc.) from the mail application?

I want to reply to an email and add an attachment. How do you do this on email accounts other than iCloud Mail?

The only things that you are able to email using the software that came with the phone are photos, videos, contact information, notes, and links. Documents are not able to be saved to your iPhone unless you are using a downloaded application or have them in an email. To send an email containing a photo, contact, etc. you must go into the application and click share->email.
A workaround for saving documents without the need for a downloaded application would be taking a screen shot (pressing the lock button and home button simultaneously.) This is not the best choice for all cases, but may be for some documents such as word documents.

How can I get my email messages to open in one click with Mail app?

Hello,
How do I get my email messages to open with just one tap? On my newer Macbook I just click once on the Mail app and my messages open automatically but on the Powerbook it takes two clicks. Can this be fixed to just one click? I've gone into preferences but can't seem to change it.

Carolyn,
Thanks, I was wanting to just click once on a message and have it open right away and then be able to quickly go through my messages. I found the solution from another helpful Mac user. You just move the separator bar that divides your messages from the view pane and move it up and it works like a charm.
