When sending an email my From: box says "undisclosed recipient" rather than my actual name...want my name to appear in the From: line

When I compose and send an email my name and email address show on the screen. But when it is sent the "From:" changes to "undisclosed recipients". I have a screen print of what I am talking about...but don't see on this screen how to send it to you.
Hopefully you can give advice to a new user of Thunderbird.

Woops...found the problem. My address book had the name "undisclosed recipients" next to my email address. I edited that name to say "Margaret Parsons" and presto my name appears in the "From" line on my sent emails. Yeaa....problem solved, given enough time and poking around Thunderbird...sure love this email.

When sending an email to multiply recipiants, using address autocompletion, all the address boxes convert to the name in the first box

I use Thunderbird for my email. When sending an email to multiple recipients, I use autocompletion from my local address book. When I select an additional recipient, the name initially appears correctly in the address box. Each time I drop down to add another recipient, the names in each box all revert to the name in the first box. I've used Thunderbird for 2 years and this just started today. Also, the cursor and names in the address box appear now in red instead of black. Hopefully you can solve this problem.
Thank you,
bradoc

There are some evil bugs in the current version of Thunderbird. You may find it works better if you click with the mouse, or move down with the arrow keys and click or use tab. IIRC, there's an issue with use of the Enter key. Or maybe the other way round ; please experiment. It's one of those frustrating bugs that seems to affect everyone but me.
You can download older versions here:

I believe 31.2.0 is free of this particular issue. 24.6 seems to be a popular choice for those who dislike recent changes in the Composition window UI.

Badunit, thanks for your reply. I just went into Mail/Preferences/Accounts, "full name" field is filled correctly with my name. This happens to only certain recipients, and not every emails. Sometimes my name shows and sometime it doesn't show. And this only started to occur recently.

When I click attach when sending an email with an attachment I get a dropdown that says "single image" or "default multiple". I choose one. Nothing happens as far as offering a choice as to what doc or photo to attach. What do i need to do?

When sending an email I used to be able to add a distribution list from my contacts, I now have to add each email address individually, does anyone know how I can add the whole list?

When sending an email I used to be able to click on a distribution list in my contacts and it would add all the email addresses, I now have to add each email address individually and this takes a lot of time. Could someone tell me how I can add a distibution list/group to my emails?

Barney,
I have four groups.
I just typed the name of one of those groups in the To field on the iPhone's email, and received:
Invalid Address
"<group name>" does not appear to be a valid email address. Do you want to send it anyway?
I clicked continue and it remains in my outbox.
Help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Michael

Iphoto allows you to share photos by selecting them and then emailing as an attachment. I'm not able to do that now, curser isn't appearing in the email address box when I attempt to address my email. Photos are attaching but not able to include an addr

Windows Phone 8.1 is so full of surprises and opens the Windows Phone faithful up to a new world of apps.
Video editors and
file managers are just some of the new app categories possible thanks to Windows Phone 8.1. We’ve seen an official video editing app from Microsoft already, but today we finally get Files – the official file manager for Windows Phone.

Tried all available options in account settings but it doesnt make any difference. Strangley enough though when initially setting up the mail account it sends its test email no problems. Installed Outlook 2010 to see if there was any difference but the same thing happens.

HAVE A PROBLEM WHEN SENDING AN EMAIL IT STATES IT DOES NOT ALLOW RELAYING

HAVE A PROBLEM WHEN SENDING AN EMAIL IT STATES IT DOES NOT ALLOW RELAYING

You have either entered the wrong SMTP server info or they have blocked the sending of e-mails from outside their network. That message indicates that you are not permitted to send through that server from the network you are using to connect.
Contact them again. There is no magic that will allow you to bypass this.

Using JProgressBar when sending an email

Good day to all! How can I use the JProgressBar to monitor progress when

HT4859 when you go to do this it say that your iPod or whichever device will no longer be backed up to the computer it is currently backed up to, what exactly does that mean? Will i not be able to sync my iPod from that computer?

when you go to do this it say that your iPod or whichever device will no longer be backed up to the computer it is currently backed up to, what exactly does that mean? Will i not be able to sync my iPod from that computer? Please help me and answer either or both question detailed thanks

Normally when you sync your device it is automatically backed up to your computer as the first step in the sync process. When you choose to start backing up your device to iCloud, iTunes stops automatically backing it up on your computer when you sync. That's what the message is telling your; that you are now backing up to iCloud and not to your computer each time you sync. You can still manually back up to your computer any time you want by going to the Summary tab and clicking on Back Up Now under Manually Back Up and Restore.
You can still sync your device as you did before, it just will no longer back up automatically when you do.

LMS3.2 Syslog reports very slow when send via email

Hello,
we have ~5000 devices in LMS3.2 and we have a problem with syslog reports.
When I create a "severity level summary report" for 5000 devices for the last 24hours and select as run type "immediate" it needs ~2-3 minutes. That's ok.
But when I create exactly the same report and select the run type "once" , it needs ~3 hours. ("Once" means that the report is send via email after it's finished). It happens with report type "pdf" and "csv".
What can be the problem ? Or is it usual ???
Regards
Hendrik

The scheduled reports can output a full list of messages where as the immediate reports output a limit of 10,000 records. If you have a lot of syslog messages, it can take a considerable amount of additional time to generate a full report.

I put together and sent 10 pictures from my granddaughter's birthday party. Is there a way of sending them with a link recipients can click on, rather than having all the pictures download as part of the email message?

Hello userlarry, do you have Mobile Me? You could use that. Or you could compress them, you would still need to send them in an email, but it would help with size limitations of emails.
To compress them, put them in a folder and right click on the folder. You should see a Compress option. Then just drag the .zip file into your mail.

When sending an email to several people I can't find the address book icon in the tool area

when sending an email to several people I can't find the address book icon in the tool area that used to be at the top of the Leopard system...if you have 20 individual addressees how do I access my address book? j

If you don't see the "shadow man" icon, right click the toolbar and select customize.. drag the icon up to the bar.

HT3783 I have created a distribution list of 22 names in my Contacts Folder. When I try to send an e-mail using the alias, only 7 of the 22 names appear in the address line. Why don't all the names appear?

I have created a mail box with 22 names in it. When I want to send an e-mail to this address and its recipients, only 7 of the 22 names appear in the address line of the e-mail. Why won't the remaining 15 names and addresses appear in the address line?

okay, this is actually a common problem. from your main screen select the blackberry key (next to track ball)->options->security->general settings->include address book->no->reset phone->problem should be fixed!
let me know if this works for you,
Andrew
