Why is the FROM field in Task Details not always populated on in-flight BPs

On a BP, the Task Details section contains a "From:" and a "To:" field.
1. If I am the assignee, the From and To fields are populated.
2. If I am NOT the assignee, the From field is empty, but the To field is populated. The behavior is the same whether the assignee accepted the task or not.
This becomes inconvenient, for example, on a coordination step with multiple inflows and outflows. If the From field were always populated, I could readily get a sense of the context of the current step without fishing through the timestamps of the Process Details, particularly if this step is revisited multiple times.
Granted, it's minor, but our users have noticed. Is there any reason for this?

Thank you for your reply. I changed the error handling as you suggested on the 2nd lookup to redirect to unmatched rows. Now I get all greet. I don't have the conditional split as in your diagram. But also, nothing appears to have
happened in the DB. Aren't the rows in my text file supposed to be added to the FactCurrencyRate table?
How do I get a conditional split?

OK, sorry I forgot to reply you back.
Conditional Split was just dummy task. Ignore it.
Manipulate the data in such way that you get matching records.
Inside Source, for first 2 rows I put the dates which are available in DimDate.
1.00010001,ARS,7/1/2005 0:00,0.99960016
1.00010001,ARS,2/5/2006 0:00,1.001001001
1.00020004,ARS,9/5/2001 0:00,0.99990001
1.00020004,ARS,9/6/2001 0:00,1.00040016
1.00050025,ARS,9/7/2001 0:00,0.99990001
1.00050025,ARS,9/8/2001 0:00,1.001001001
Then in OLE DB Destination, I loaded the rows to TestFactTable.
(Now, you don't even need NO MATCH OUTPUT as there are matching records here)

Why is the 'From' field necessary?

Hi all,
I'm sorry if my question is too basic, I couldn't find the answer in the FAQ section.
My question is this: I understood that javamail APIs communicate with the mail server and sends mails after login.
I'm using SMTP and I login the mail server with username and password. How come I can set the from field to something else other than my own email address? Does it mean I can impersonate someone else even though I logined with username and password to my email account?
Thanks

Thanks for your reply!
I have an additional question. If I populated the setFrom() method and the mail server disabled this option, will I catch any thrown exception? What type?
Thanks!!

Why is the "From:" field being changed in Mac Mail. I have multiple gmail accounts setup and it seems to change the "FROM" field even though I've selected which account to use to send the email.

So
I've got multiple gmail accounts setup in Mac Mail.
Somtimes when I send or forward emails, it uses the wrong FROM field even though I'm declaring
specifically which account to use.
This becomes apparent when the person replies to my message and it goes to the wrong account

Check you accounts in Mail and make sure each account has the correct outgoing server address. Check the box to use only that server.
Second, go to the gmail website and in settings under the account tab, make sure you have the correct settings for replying to messages.

HT5624 Why in my email ( the one on my ipod5 that I use with my apple ID) when I get emails about my use of my apple ID to use a service in the from field it has my fathers name and when I click on it it shows his contact info ????

Why in my email ( the one on my ipod5 that I use with my apple ID) when I get emails about my use of my apple ID to use a service in the from field it has my fathers name and when I click on it it shows his contact info ???? I also set up my apple ID with a new email account and also I signed up for iCloud but used the same apple I'd email and password but it gave me a I cloud email! I did activate the favorites in my email . Noticed the from field has my fathers name and contact and it is a notification about me using my apple ID to sign in to FaceTime! Something is messed up, not sure how or why???

i didn't read a lot of your 2nd paragraph, but it seems like the password is the issue, right?
do a true clean install
reboot your machine and hold down command+option+r, you should see a spinning globe - if you don't see the globe or anything that reads internet recovery, shut down and try again
at menu, chose disk utility and once there, find your HD on the left side, select the physical name and erase it as mac journaled
exit disk utlity
at menu, choose install OSX
this time, when it asks for a password just hit continue, it will let you complete without a password
you should be able to get into your laptop, now figure out what password you'll be able to use with your kb issue

Strange =?ISO etc. in the 'from'-field

When i send mails to people with Outlook and Exchange they don't get my return adress right. Sometimes it says: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?=22My_Name, somtimes =?ISO-8859-1?Q?=[email protected]
It means people can't press answer, but have to write my mailadress in the 'to'-field.
I only have the right server for outgoing messages in the system.
Anybody have an idea?

This is not a question of not using english, or even ASCII-letters in the e-mailadress. We all know an e-mail address is supposed to be in a-z, 1-9 etc., even the provider who gave me my adresses.
This is a question of why my the address in the 'from'-field is corrupt when i mail corporate mailsystems in Windows, but not standalone applications or macs.
RFC 2822 Internet Message Format April 2001
2.2. Header Fields
Header fields are lines composed of a field name, followed by a colon
(":"), followed by a field body, and terminated by CRLF. *A field*
*name MUST be composed of printable US-ASCII characters* (i.e.,
characters that have values between 33 and 126, inclusive), except
colon. *A field body may be composed of any US-ASCII characters,*
*except for CR and LF.* However, a field body may contain CRLF when
used in header "folding" and "unfolding" as described in section
2.2.3. All field bodies MUST conform to the syntax described in
sections 3 and 4 of this standard.
Whether that character is in your address or not is irrelevant; it's in the headers and these folks are clearly interpreting the spec very strictly. Take it out and the problem should go away.

Turn off or restrict Outlook AutoSuggestions on the "From" field

So I'm using Outlook 2007. My question is: why is the AutoSuggest feature making suggestions on the "From" field when the setting option clearly states that it's only for the To, Cc, and Bcc fields?
Ideally, I'd like to have it only make suggestions for mail accounts that I send from. But turning the suggestions off for the From field specifically would be an acceptable solution as well. I don't want to turn it off completely though.
Anybody have any suggestions?

Hi,
It seems you are using a custom designed form? In default, we don't use this feature to select the "From" field, we generally select the sender from the "Account" button under "Send":
If you have designed a custom form with the field "From", it will also use the same suggest contacts as To,Cc, and Bcc. But as I mentioned, we generally don't use the "From" field, so that's why it wasn't stated that "From" field also uses the same Auto-Complete
list, we can't change this so far.

How can I change the "From:" field in iOS Mail?

This is a weird one.
I have a gmail work email account that has been set up for me. There's a primary email address assigned to it, and a secondary one (which is the one I want to use).
No problem at all sending from the secondary account on my MacBook Pro. I just hit the drop down menu by the "From:" field, and I can select it from there.
However, when I send from my iPhone, I'm only given the option of sending from my primary email address, not the secondary one. This is despite the fact that I've synced Mail accounts via iTunes.
Any idea how I might fix this so I can send from the secondary account on my iPhone?

First of all, please fill in the Computer Model and Operating System fields on your My Settings’s profile (and click Save). This is essential information that should always be provided when asking for help.
Now, what does “I can't change it” mean? What appears in the From header of the messages you send is determined by your Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Account Information settings...

The incorrect iCloud email (in the from field)address is appearing

The incorrect iCloud email (in the from field) address is appearing on my iPod touch, but not on my MacBook Pro. The I Pod's ICloud email account is using my account for Itunes etc., not the icloud email address, how can I reset the "from" address?

ok thanks, so if I do nothing straight away, they won't free the address up and give it to someone else, correct?

Can I have Mail format the "From" field based on my Address book entries?

I have most of my contacts in my address book, but Mail still displays the "From" field in the message list pane with the normal email address header.
Here's an example:
User A emails me a message from this address:
"User A" <[email protected]>
In my Address Book, I have User A's info as this:
First Name: Bob
Last Name: Marley
Email Address: [email protected]
In Mail, though, the "From" field in the message list view still says ...
User A
... when I want it to say ...
Bob Marley
Does that make sense? How can I do this?

How to get my Name in the From Field instead of email address?

For an Exchange Activesync account, how do you get your friendly "Name" to show in the From: field rather than email address ([email protected])?
I seem to be able to do this fro IMAP/POP accounts but not Exchange Activesync.
All the discussions I've found about gmail and Activesync seem to be centered on getting your messages to show a different return email address than your exchange account. I'm not looking for this, just to show the Name.
Thanks

If you add a contact ("Contacts app>> "+">> enter info) with that email address, it will appear in mail with whatever name you set in the email address' contact.

How do you set the from field in mail to be one of two addresses?

I have two email addresses. How do I set up mail so I select which of the addresses goes in the from field?

The From field should include a drop down menu from which you chose the address you want to ue for that message.

How do you set the From field in Mail?

Is there any way to set the From field in messages. I have two email addresses:
an .edu address at an university
a .net at my ISP
I’d like the From field to be my .edu addreess. Mail sent to my .edu address is forwarded to an address of my choosing, which happens to be my .net address. I would, however, like to keep my .net relatively hidden so I can change ISPs. We did that year switching from cable to DSL.
I tried changing Mail Preferences->Accunts->Email Address
to my .edu address. That, however, did not work. My DSL provider ignored the Email Address field and inserted my .net address in the from field. (I believe this method worked when I had a cable ISP.)

Since my last post, I found tried putting
Preferences->Accounts->Email address to be my edu address
would add my .edu address as one of my from choices
Next, I sent myself a mail message, with following result:
The .edu address is now rejected by the outgoing server with the message:
Cannot send message using the server
The sender address (my .edu address) was rejected by the server
I had this working at some time, but not now. Help, please.

How do you change the "From" field to have a name that you want?

For instance, I receive sports updates from Rotoworld and ESPN. Their email addresses are '[email protected]' and '[email protected]'. Can I change this somehow? Can I change the name so that the From field show what I want it to show instead of the long email address? I would like to just have it say "Rotoworld" and "ESPN".

if you REALLY wanted to you could edit the .elmx email file as a text file and replace the sender name there. this can of course, be automated. However, that would be wa-a-y too much trouble and is entirely not worth it.
