DISAPPEARING 'From' field in Apple Mail

Hi all. Read a few similar threads, but the advice do not seem to help.

Here's the question:

MacBook Pro of El Capitan 10.11.4 running. On the phone with Technical Support Mac we have been 'fixing' settings and deleted a number of library. I had the 'From' field on all outgoing emails before that but, unfortunately, it has now disappeared.

My Mac Mail "lost" box drop-down menu that allows me to choose which server to send emails.  It is generally superior to:

Here is what I tried and checked:

1. all shipping options have good outgoing mailer SMTP server installation in the accounts. I have created a new third-party server, restarted the Mail, nothing helps.

2. in the tab COMPOSITION, I chose "send new messages of: [selected mailbox account}." I tried to switch that on and outside mail and restart.

3 opening iCloud and its closure in my browser.

Suggestions please?

-Steve

Open address book and make sure that your card is marked as my card.

Open connection doctor and check that your SMTP servers are online and work. You should have more than one valid mailing address to show.

  • How to remove contacts from AutoComplete in Apple Mail?

    I've recently updated to El Capitan, and I had so many problems of Apple Mail, I am close to resolve.

    Here's my problem: when I type a letter in the field 'To' - like saying "n" - all emails that I received recipients that begin with the letter "n" is displayed, including spam.

    The only solution I found here is to go to the 'window'-> previous winners and remove all the previous recipients of my email.

    But this isn't the problem I have here.

    What does the field 'To' is people who I never sent. I don't want all these people appear again. I fear that one of these days I'll accidentally send the wrong person.

    I tried pressing the button 'more' to have semi-automatic entered e-mail address does not work in my contacts list. But it does not work.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Just to be clear: I use OS X 10.11.4

  • My emails have disappeared from my Inbox of mail

    Hello

    I lost almost all my messages in the Inbox of my Apple Mail account. This happened 24 hours is, I must admit, a bit traumatic as the 12000 (roughly) emails date back about 10 years and, as everyone understands, some are important. In fact, I was left with about 50 e-mails or something close. I am completely in the dark; When this happened already my emails were restored quickly without any intervention by me.

    My other folders, for example, "sent" and "Drafts" are not affected, just my Inbox.

    I use OS X 10.6.6 (I know, it is not supported now) and Mail Version 4.6 (1085). I use a MacBook Pro and an iPhone 6. Messages are not accessible using my Apple Mail app in the dock or using iCloud. Both options have IMAP settings. Also, I have not exceeded the storage allocated on the server. I tried the function 'Rebuild' in the menu dropdown box mailbox but failed.

    I am not optimistic, but would appreciate greatly any guidance or advice, you can offer me.

    Kind regards

    Nick

  • Cannot delete Apple Mail boxes on "on my Mac": what should I do?

    I tried to delete these boxes several times in many different ways, but no matter what I do, they just keep reappearing.

    I have 1) clicked and deleted several times; (2) I deleted their through Finder; (3) I've disabled my email accounts and tried to delete the boxes (of which some were successful with apparently); (4) I changed the behavior of the mailbox by the United Nations - by clicking on and then re - clicking deleted emails put in trash box (which some suggested online).

    I have no idea what to do next. I have discussions with Apple, but I thought I'd try here to find a solution to this aggravating problem.

    Thank you.

    OK, I've figured this out.

    When I imported the messages from Thunderbird to Apple Mail, I've initially diverted to mbox files. I then imported them in Apple Mail through the import of Apple Mail function. I made the mistake to include the mbox files related to IMAP accounts. After hours of trying to delete it, I tried the above suggestion. I deleted every internet account including iCloud. Then I deleted mailboxes mailbox imported that were related to IMAP accounts. It worked, and recreate the standalone mailboxes are now gone.

  • Delete messages from Gmail, but keep in Apple Mail?

    Hi all.

    I use Apple Mail to download my Gmail via IMAP (Apple Mail 9.3, OSX 10.11.5).

    The problem is that my Gmail account is complete. To free up space in Gmail, I want to delete messages from Gmail, but keep them locally in Apple Mail. How can I do? I guess it's the server settings, but I don't know if I need to tinker with the Apple Mail, Gmail server settings, or both.

    I tried to delete the messages in Gmail, but Apple Mail sync with Gmail and delete them locally, too.

    Thank you!

    Activate the sidebar of accounts, so you can see the hierarchy of depot.

    You should see a section here which says on my Mac. Click to show it, then right click to add box to the letters it. Call it something like old Gmail 2008-2014. Now you can select your old Gmails mainly Gmail Inbox and sent boxes and drag them to this mailbox on my Mac (folder). If you move hundreds or thousands of emails, here could be a delay before they appear in the new location, so don't panic.

    Note: Many users choose simply to archive old emails, but do in Gmail, still continues to them on the server, if you're not reduce used storage space.

    Open the "sent" folder on the account that you mailed to and look at the message that you sent it to see.

    You have email of the accident to a group? You have a group created in the application of Contact with these names? Or maybe that you click on reply to all to create the message?

  • How can I change the default 'from' address in iCloud/Apple Mail

    I changed it to a point to my alias iCloud, and no matter how many times I change it in Apple Mail preferences it does not stick. When I close my iMac down, the next time I start up my alias address you "from" still my default address once. V. frustrating. Thanks for any help you can give me.

    Please, back up all data before proceeding.

    This procedure will unlock all your user (not system files) files and reset their ownership, permissions and default access controls. If you have voluntarily set special values for these attributes on any of your files, they will be be restored. In this case, either stop there, or be ready to recreate the settings if necessary. Do that after checking these settings that did not cause the problem. If none of that is meaningful to you, you need not worry about this, but do not follow the instructions below.

    Step 1

    If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to step 2.

    Triple-click anywhere in the next line to this page to select this option:

    sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nosappnd,noschg,nosunlnk,nouappnd,nouchg {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-

    Copy the selected text in the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination.

    Launch the Terminal application integrated in one of the following ways:

    ☞ Enter the first letters of his name in a Spotlight search. Select from the results (it should be at the top).

    ☞ In the Finder, select go utilities ▹ of menu bar or press the combination of keys shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.

    Paste in the Terminal window by pressing Command + V. I tried these instructions only with the Safari browser. If you use another browser, you may need to press the return key after pasting.

    You will be asked your password of connection that are not displayed when you type. Type carefully, and then press return. You can get a warning to be careful. If you do not have a password, you will need to configure one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your user name "is not in the sudoers file", then you have not logged as an administrator.

    The command may take several minutes to run, depending on the number of files you have. Wait for a new line ending with a dollar sign ($) to appear, and then quit Terminal.

    Step 2 (optional)

    Take this step only if you have trouble with the phase 1, if you prefer not to consider, or if this does not resolve the problem.

    Start in recovery mode. You may be prompted to select a language, then the OS X Utilities appears.

    If you use FileVault 2, select disk utility, then select the icon for the volume FileVault startup ("Macintosh HD", unless you have given it a different name.) It will be nested under another icon of the disc. Click the Open button in the toolbar and enter your login password when you are prompted. Then quit disk utility must be returned to the main screen.

    Select

    Utilities ▹ Terminal

    in the menu bar. It will open a Terminal window. In this window, type this:

    resetp

    Press the tab key. The partial order you entered will automatically end this:

    resetpassword

    Press return. Opens a window to reset the password. You do not need to reset a password.

    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD", unless you have given it a different name) if not already selected.

    Select your username in the menu option allows you to select the account if not already selected.

    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the reset button.

    Select

    ▹ Restart 

    in the menu bar.
