Wrong Name Attached to Correct Email Address in Mail

I use Apple's Mail program to receive email from a couple of gmail accounts. I also use iCal to coordinate those same gmail accounts, plus a few work calendars. One of the work calendars is one called "Holidays in Canada," (just a calendar showing federal holidays in Canada, which are relevant to my job). In the last month or two, Mail has started to list my name on outgoing and incoming emails as "Holidays in Canada." This is very annoying!
I've checked my account settings and my contacts both on my computer and in iCloud, and I don't see the name "Holidays in Canada" associated with my email address anywhere. I'm particularly baffled because the calendar bearing that name originates from a totally separate email address than the one it has now been attached to. I disabled the "Holidays in Canada" calendar on iCal, but that doesn't seem to have worked. I'd really like to just get my incoming and outgoing emails to display my name.
Any thoughts? Thank you!

  • Names are associated with email address in Mail but not in Contacts. How do I fix this?

    When writing a new email if I begin typing someone's name, it automatically starts showing matching first and last names and email addresses. So if I start typing Bob it'll start showing matching contacts and have selected by default Bob Doe <[email protected]>.
    This is great in Mail but in Contacts it doesn't work.
    If I start searching for Bob, there are no results. Instead the only result there is the email address. So I have to know my contacts email addresses instead of their names when I'm dealing with Contacts.
    Is there a way to sync Mail and Contacts or something so Contacts gets the associated names of the email addresses?
    Thanks

    The same thing is happening here since the 10.10.2 update but as yet I can't find a solution but I am hoping it's an Apple problem that will get sorted out.
    Eventualy.

    Thanks for your reply. Having read through relevant topics it suggests that if I sync my iphone with the correct account on my pc it should use that one thereafter. i will try both.

  • Im having problems with contacts on my iPad. One of my contacts names shows up when I choose any one of 36 contacts. the email goes to the correct email address that I've chosen but the incorrect name shows up in the To: area of the email

    I'm having problems with contacts on my iPad. One of my contacts names shows up when I choose any one of 36 contacts. the email goes to the correct email address that I've chosen but the incorrect name shows up in the To: area of the email. Has anyone else experienced this...if so I hope there is a fix

    Hello there erika274,
    It sounds like no matter what contact you put into the 'To' field, a different name appears, but the email makes it to the intended recipient. I would recommend a few things here. First, close all the open apps on the device:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that restart the phone:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If the issue persists, I would next backup your device to iTunes, and restore it:

  • In Mail, the "From" line shows the wrong name associated with the email id. How do I update it?

    In Mail, the "From" line shows the wrong name associated with my email ID. I've looked over preferences and account information but have not found where I can update it.

    There isn't an email address associated with the contact name who appears as the "from" in Mail. It used to be a shared email address and I already had updated the contact to list only the phone number in case that was causing the problem. 

  • A number of peoples names associated with an email address have been changed to "Apple Computer Inc." in Mail  Anyone else experiencing this?

    When I type in a letter in the "To" box, let's say 'a', a number of my contact come up with "Apple Computer Inc" as the name associated with an email address.  In the past, the person's name was listed i.e Joe Smith <[email protected]>.  Now it looks like this Apple Computer Inc.<[email protected]>  Anyone else experienceing this?

  • I want to convert a series of names into a table (in either numbers or pages). The list I have has a name and then an email address in brackets, followed by a 'yes' or a 'no'. I would like to separate the list into three columns

    I want to convert a series of names into a table (in either numbers or pages). The list I have has a name and then an email address in brackets, followed by a 'yes' or a 'no'. I would like to separate the list into three columns - the first containing the name, the second containing the email address and the third containing the 'yes' or 'no'.
    Can you help me ?

    The question that needs to be answered is what is separating the columns? Is it a single tab, one or more tabs, spaces, or what?  Or is it the brackets that makes the separation between the three pieces of data?
    If it is always a single tab, that makes it really easy.  All you have to do is find/replace the brackets with nothing (as Wayne said)
    If it might be multiple tabs, you can find/replace tab-tab with a single tab and repeat that a few times until no more double-tabs are found.
    If it is one or multiple spaces, that might be difficult. I'll think about this one if this is what you have. I'll ignore this possiblility for now.
    If it is the brackets separating the three pieces of data, you would Find/Replace the left bracket with a tab then do the same with the right bracket.

  • I want to copy the name with email address from Mail like I could before Mavericks

    Hi There
    I have resisted upgrading to Mavericks for all this time because Mavericks now stops the name of the contact being copied when I copy the email address from the sender. What is now copied is: '[email protected]'
    What I want and what it used to be before Mavericks is: 'Dave Garnish <[email protected]>'
    I know it sounds petty but it has stopped me upgrading for all this time, but now I need 4k monitor support.
    Thanks in advance anyone who may have the answer to this.
    Best
    Dave

    The following Terminal command used to enable the use of the name along with the email address:
    defaults write com.apple.mail AddressesIncludeNameOnPasteboard -bool YES
    (Change YES to NO to undo the change.)
    I don't know if it still works.
    You can also affect this feature in the mail message via Mail, Preferences, Use Smart Addresses.  When unchecked the sender's address gets the name and angle bracket thing.

    You might want to try contacting Apple for assistance by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click See All Products and Services>iTunes>iTunes Store>Passwords & Security Questions>Lost or Forgotten Apple ID password.  They should be able to explain what's going on and help you reset the password for the old ID if necessary.  The call should be free.
