When sending an email my From: box says "unknown recipient" rather than my real name... here my name to appear in the: line

When I compose and send an email to my show address name and email on the screen. But when he is sent the "from:" becomes "undisclosed recipients". I have a screenshot of what I want to talk to... but don't see in this form, how send you it.

I hope you can give advice to a new user of Thunderbird.

Margaret

Oops... found the problem. My address book was called "recipients" next to my e-mail address. I edited this name to say 'Margaret Parsons' and hop my name appears in the 'From' line on my e-mails. Yes, problem solved, enough time and poking around Thunderbird... of course love this email.

  • Whenever I send an email error message box comes up (with no message displayed)

    Whenever I send an email error message box comes up (with no message) and the email is sent to the Outbox, even if the email is actually sent and received by the addressee. Enamel and then continually gets sent unless I have delete the email from the Outbox file. Anyone know why this is happening and what can be done to remedy this? It's frustrating because I don't get a copy of the email in my file sent as back up.

    CrystalBall told you use Outlook Express. Fix? You have corruption of dbx files.

    Spend most of your messages out of the Inbox and then create new folders to send and sent items box after having moved the messages you want to save to a local folder that you create.

    Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.

    In Windows XP, Win2K & Win2K3 the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.

    With OE closed, find the DBX files for the items in the Outbox and sent and delete them.  New ones will be created automatically when you open OE.

    After you're done, followed by compacting your folders manually while working * off * and do it often.

    Click Outlook Express at the top of the the folder tree so no folders are open. Then: File | Work offline (or double-click on work online in the status bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until the compacting is completed.

    General precautions for Outlook Express:

    Do not archive mail in the receipt or sent items box. Create your own user-defined folders and move messages you want to put in them. Empty the deleted items folder daily. Although the dbx files have a theoretical capacity of 2 GB, I recommend all a 300 MB max for less risk of corruption.

    Information on the maximum size of the .dbx files that are used by Outlook Express:

    Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the CPUs, slows down sending and receiving and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting changes and has even been responsible for the loss of messages. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:
    http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

    Why you don't need your anti-virus to scan your email
    http://thundercloud.NET/infoave/tutorials/email-scanning/index.htm

    Note that for some AV programs, it may be necessary to uninstall the program and reinstall in custom Mode and uncheck analysis when the option is the result of e-mail messages.

    Compact often as specified above.

    And backup often.

  • My apple mail blocks 5 to 10 times a day when sending an email.  Seems to have happened after El Capitan upgraded.  Any ideas?

    My Apple's Mail crashes regularly during the day when sending electronic mail.  I'll create an e-mail, press send and it will crash.  It does not send first of enamel.  When I re - open, an empty message is open (I would create a new message).  All this seems to have happened after upgrade to El Capitan.  Any ideas?

    Thanks - Paul

    Please launch the Console application 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.

    Step 1

    For this step, the title of the Console window should be all Messages. If it isn't, select

    SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ all Messages

    in the list of logs on the left. If you don't see this list, select

    List of newspapers seen ▹ display

    in the menu at the top of the screen bar.

    In the upper right corner of the Console window, there is a search box to filter. Enter the name of the application crashed or process. For example, if Safari has crashed, you would enter "Safari" (without the quotes).

    Each message in the journal begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages since the time of the last fall, as appropriate. Copy to the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command + V.

    The journal contains a large amount of information, almost everything that is not relevant to solve a particular problem. When you post a journal excerpt, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.

    Please don't dump blindly thousands of lines in the journal in this discussion.

    Please do not post screenshots of log messages - text poster.

    Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

    Step 2

    In the Console window, clear the search box, and then select

    DIAGNOSIS AND diagnostic USE information reports ▹ user

    (not diagnose them and use Messages) in the list of logs on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points downwards. You will see a list of reports of incidents. The name of each report begins with the name of the process and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report on the process in question. The content of the report is displayed at right. Allows you to copy and paste to validate all of the content, text, not a screenshot.

    I know that the report is long, perhaps several hundred lines. Please report all this anyway. If the report is only a few lines, make sure that you have disabled the search box.

    If you don't see any report, but you know, he had an accident, you have chosen diagnostic and using the list of Log Messages. INFORMATION on the USE of DIAGNOSTIC AND choose instead.

    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you change the UUID ' anonymous, ' a long string of letters, numbers and dashes in the header of the report, if it is present (it cannot be). "

    Please do not post other types of diagnostic report - they are very long and rarely useful.

    When you post the journal excerpt or the accident report, you might see an error message on the web page: "you have included content in your post that is not allowed", or "the message contains invalid characters." It's a bug in the forum software. Thanks for posting the text on Pastebin, then post here a link to the page you created.

  • My contacts an "undeliverable mail" message when send me emails

    Hello! Since I installed Thunderbird, I've had some of my contacts say they receive an "undeliverable mail" message when they try to send me emails. This affects 2 email addresses which I configured on Thunderbird, and is not a problem before using Thunderbird. It affects a couple of different contacts who correctly typed my e-mail address in.
    I really like Thunderbird with the exception of this problem! Please let me know what could be the problem.
    I'm running Thunderbird 38.3.0

    Thank you!

    The "undeliverable mail" message Mailor Daemon has generally a little more information, which can help identify what is happening. You must obtain a copy of this message to develop possible questions.

    You use POP or IMAP email accounts?

    You have exhausted your quota on the server?
    Check it out now.
    If you have exhausted the quota server cannot accept e-mails more until a space is freed.

    Maybe the sender was spotted by email address, IP address or using a server which sends spam and your server is rejected.

    As you have more than one account, you can send yourself an e-mail from one account to another and vice vera? These emails are received ok?
