Re: Smarty pants Mail.app keeps changing address

Hi Pat.

I prefer to click on the + at the right end of the TO box.
That allows you to select the recipient from your contacts.

I do not type email addresses into the TO box.
Because it will always try to guess based on what you have used in the past.

Thanks Philippe,
I too was also looking for a way to do this.

Re: Smarty pants Mail.app keeps changing address

[Philippe Chaperon]

Hi Pat, 

This is how it is done: 

Delete old email addresses
Mail keeps a list of your previous recipients and uses it to suggest or 
complete addresses for you when you send email. You can delete obsolete or 
incorrect addresses from the list in Mail, and use the list to quickly see or 
add people to the Contacts app.

In Mail, choose Window > Previous Recipients.
Do any of the following:
Sort the list: Click a column header.
Search for a name: Enter the name in the search field. 
Remove a name from the list: Select one or more names, then click Remove From 
List.
Show a name in Contacts: Double-click any name that’s preceded by a card icon.
Add a name to Contacts: Select a name, then click Add to Contacts.

Smarty pants Mail.app keeps changing address

[Pat]

I just wrote a letter to my sister; when I tried to put her new address on the 
letter, the app kept changing it back to an old, obsolete address.  The new 
address is in the Contact app and the old address has been removed. The new 
address wouldn’t stick even when I typed it in by hand. Is there a solution for 
this? I would rather not get a different mail app.
