Wrong "To" name on received email

For some reason my husband's name appears on the To: label when I received email messages on my iPad. Messages on my comupter are addressed correctly, it is only on my iPad that I see his name and not mine. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this problem? Thanks.

You can't do nothing, since it's their information.

SOST tcode display wrong contact name in recipient.

Hi All,
Our issue is with workflow sending the emails for the supplier and requestor to the wrong contact name, but correct email address. In SOST tcode recipient names are wrongly displayed. Is problem with workflow or SOST?.
Kindly advice.
Thanks,
S K.

Hi Sravan,
I guess this is an incorrect approach to maintain same email ID for multiple users. Please check if this is your business requirement else correct the same.
The user names are picked from the details maintained in SU01 and also possible if this user is assigned to a Busienss Partner, then the details are picked from t-code BP.
Please try and correct the entries for few test users. Maintain the email ID to only one user and then test if you still face the issue.
Regards,
Saumya

Changed Sender name/address of previously received email?

Something weird is happening with my Apple Mail. I'm receiving some old messages that I already received last year, but the Sender name has been changed to a totally different person. That is, the re-sent message has the wrong Sender name and not the name of the sender who originally sent me the message. I've only received a couple of these messages but when I looked around in my mailbox, I noticed that this same thing has happened to other messages too.
Has this happened to anyone else? Is my mail getting too full? Any advice would be appreciated.

I will receive several emails when I turn on the computer. Most of the emails will have the correct sender and their message details. Sometimes though I will receive the emails from different senders but when I open the message detail the messages are all the same. Is there a setting that I can use to fix this problem?

Iphone stopped receiving emails from verizon; error message wrongly says username and PW incorrect

Yesterday (10/21/13) my iphone 3 stopped receiving emails from my verizon account and error message says &quot;the user name or password for verizon in incorrect,&quot; even though I know the user name and password are correct and I am receiving emails from verizon on my ipad and I mac. In addition, after I &quot;reset.&quot; the phone by pressing the &quot;home&quot; and &quot;off&quot; buttons together until the apple logo appeared, I lost all of the emails that were on the iphone's mailboxes. What is wrong and how do I fix it?

Here is the solution given to me by a very helpful Verizon phone agent. Go to your Verizon mail account under settings. Under Incoming Mail server, change host name to pop.verizon.net.
Under Outgoing Mail Server, change host name to smtp.verizon.net.
Make sure Use SSL is on for Incoming and Outgoing Mail Servers.
She said the above is the solution that has worked for most people who are having trouble receiving and or sending Verizon emails from their Iphones since Monday October 21. She said that if this solution did not work, it is then an Apple problem and I would then need to go to Apple's email client support for troubleshooting sending and receiving email messages (for MAC in my case). After writing down all of the passwords and configurations for verizon email currently on my phone, including the new host names above, I ended up deactiving my verizon email account and then reimputing all of the passwords, configurations, ... . It worked! My verizon email was back and running.

My ipad receives email with the hotel wifi but will not send. The error message is "user name or password for ........is incorrect" but both are correct and unchanged. Restarting iPad didnt help.

My iPad receives email on the hotel wifi but will not send. The error message reads "user name or password for smpt......is incorrect" but both are correct and unchanged. Restarting iPad did not help.

I did try this too, but when I access my webmail on the iPad, the iPad doesn't allow me to type my message. I am able to enter in the "to" address and the "subject" line, but then the keyboard will not come up for me to type my message. Is there some trick to this? Very frustrating!

Can I use iCloud for sending and receiving emails from my own domain name?

Hello,
Hope that someone can help me please.
I have my own unique registered domain name.
Currently I am using the gmail server to transmit and receive email - I am using Mail on a MacBook, and an iPhone. Works just fine.
However, I was wondering if the iCloud can be set up to also provide this same function?
If so how do we achieve this?
Appreciate your comments and advice.

Please ignore this question. Or tell me how to delete it.

I can't change the sender/receiver name on my email

This seems like a simple problem, but I can't solve it. On my email, I send a message and it shows my wife's name as sender on the recipient's received email. I thought it was caused by my wife's entry in the Address Book showing our email address, so I deleted her entry from the Address Book, but it didn't remove the problem. I see no other connection of my wife to my email account so I cannot figure out how to have my name show as sender on my emails. Any suggestions?

Have you had any luck with this as I have the same issue

I keep receiving Reset email password emails. The most recent one was actually addressed to someone else... i.e. the name in the email not the email address. why is this happening??

That's probably because it's been sent out to a Bcc'd mailing list and that's the name on the main version. This is so that you don't see the other names.
If it doesn't come from something @apple.com then it's spam. Even if it appears to it's probably spam. If you want to change your password go directly to http://appleid.apple.com - do not follow any links in the email (even if they appear to lead to that address.)

Why is there another persons name on my emails received

On occasion when some cc me in an email, it has my correct address, but not my name attached.

I’m not sure this is helpful, but I have recently experienced and, hopefully, solved a somewhat similar problem. In my case, I suddenly started receiving emails from various websites which have periodically contacted me, with the “To:” reading not me but a different name though the pulldown arrow showed my correct email address. I had only recently entered that name in my Address Book. I then learned that the person with the other name had also been hit with something similar to my situation. When I realized what was going on, though I have never understood its purpose, I immediately did two things. I deleted that name in my AB. And, following the suggestion of someone in another thread on this Forum, I went to my Apple Mail Preferences/Viewing and unchecked Use Smart Addresses. The latter causes both recipient name and email to show rather than just the name, thus eliminating the hidden feature. There was also a scheduling aspect in all this, since, from time to time through the day, the names would switch from mine to the other one. Since I made those two simple changes, everything seems back to normal, the "other" name has totally disappeared,though I’m still a bit leery regarding what the Trojan or whatever was all about. So you should check your relevant Address Book entries including the one for yourself, and the Use Smart Addresses, maybe, for a start. Luck.

I have recently switched to icloud. Lately I have not been able to receive emails. A msg comes up asking me toat reenter password. Perhaps I am entering the wrong password and have forgotten what it is. How can I find my old password or change it?

If it was setup using your iPhone and your Apple ID then as far as the iCloud team will be able to find out, you set it up. Passwords cannot be retrieved.
Change all passwords on accounts associated with your iPhone.

Wrong senders name when sending an email from my ipad mini

When I send an email from my ipad mini the recipient gets my email but is says it is from someone with a different surname to me. How can I change

Go into Settings>Mail, Contacts>Calendar>the email account in question and check all the settings. The name the receiver gets is set up in your account.

I cannot set up my emails it keeps saying This account may not be able to send or receive emails do you still want to say, what am I doing wrong?

I am trying to set up my emails - and when I sent a test it went to my old IPhone - when I re put all the information into my new phone it says This account may not be able to send or receive emails do you want to save.
What am I doing wrong?

Good morning to all.
Well I spent many hours last night trying to get my Mail going on my iPad. I phoned Yahoo. After listening music for 3/4 of hour, they gave me so called advise, which I had already tried 25 times. I exchanged emails with Apple support team. They said I did not have support arrangement, so they could not help me unless I buy one time support that costs $30.
I can do emailing through Safari, but It is not up to current standard after I am so used to using "Mail" feature on iPad.
I am now in a desperation state, so I am thinking to buy one time support from Apple.
Just so someone might be thinking about Downloading Yahoo app for Mail, you should know it would not help me because my iPad iSO is 5.1.1. It has to be iSO 6.0 or higher. So I thought rather than spending $30 on one time support from Apple, I just trade in my iPad to get newer iPad.
Is there anyone out there who might save me $30? Thank you everyone for thinking about my problem. BcCanip

My email name is different when I receive emails

When I am receiving emails, it no longer has my name in the TO line, it now says Holidays in United State. I think it has something to do with Calendars but I can't figure it out???? It use to have my name in the TO line....

Hi cbarnett29,
It sounds like the settings for your email account have been changed. On your Mac, you can edit the Full Name field to include your first and last name.
I've highlighted a section of an article that will show you how to access the settings for the email account you need to edit.
Using a POP account with more than one device - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201855
OS X Mail
In Mail select Mail > Preferences.
Click the Accounts tab.
Select the account for which you wish to change the settings.
Click the Account Information tab.
Change the information in the Full Name field.
Close the Mail preferences to save your settings.
I hope this information helps ....

TS3899 Since I updated my iphone, I am not receiving email on my .mac account. What's wrong?

Since I updated my iphone to I0S6, I am not receiving email on my .mac account. What's wrong?

Tim, I was speaking generally. Obviously the iOS upgrade didn't remove the ability to charge on ALL 3rd party devices, else my iH9 wouldn't charge it either.
What I just can't understand is how an old iHome model works just fine with a new iPhone, yet a new iHome model will not. If anything, I would think it would be the other way around.
Anyway, I emailed iHome explaining my situation and I asked if they had planned on releasing a firmware update to fix the problem. I got the typical generic response about unplugging the iHome & removing the batteries for an hour then trying again. And if that doesn't work, send it in for repair in which I would need to pay for the shipping.
If I decide to go that route, I think it's just going to be a waste of time as I would get the iHome back "repaired" and it would have the exact same problem. But I guess I'll never know until I try.
I remember reading on these forums about several others having the same problem. So what are the odds that the iHomes these other people got who are experiencing the same problem are problematic as well? Unless the "repair" iHome is referring to is a firmware update, I don't really buy into this.
