Mac Forum / Applications / Eudora / December 2003Finding out the "To" address if its not clear
I have a number of email addresses and sometimes I want to know exactly which one was used by the person sending me email. However, there are a number of times when the "To" field contains the senders address or some other nonsense, rather than my own. Is there a way to find out which of my email addresses a particular email was sent to, if it doesn't show in the "To" field? Thanks.

Probably not, because your email address is probably in the BCC field, which you can't access. Try clicking on the Blah-blah-blah button, to reveal full headers, and look at the Received headers--you may be able to find the address there.

Define a personnality for each of your email adresses, each one configured to fetch your emails on the adequat servers. And then you can filtering your messages for going in differents mailboxes following the personnality. JPaul.

No - that doesn't work, if I understand the question correctly. I have two personalities that are in active use all the time (& some that are more intermittent). If someone bcc'd me and there is no name in the To: field, the message will normally land in the main In-box (i.e., the Dominant personality's) regardless. I know these people are actually using my secondary personality as it's the only address they have for me. Still happens regularly, and it's a minor annoyance for me, too. /Jon > >Define a personnality for each of your email adresses, each one > >configured to fetch your emails on the adequat servers.

I have 4 or 5 personalities, each one configured to fetch the emails from a different server. Two are active, and all the message arrive in the main in-box (I think it's not linked with the personalities). And I have a filter for each personality. Each one doing : transfer the mail to a mailbox adequat For example ``dominant'' to the mailbox INPUT and ``JPaul'' to the mailbox INPUT_JPaul .. and so on. And ***it works*** But actually, if you fetch your mails on only one server, that is to say if all your adresses are forwarded to the same server, it can't work. So the first thing to do in this case is : suppress such forwarding and configure your different personalities to fetch on different servers. JPaul.

The accounts in question are a corporate POP3 account residing on internal, behind-the-firewalls servers and a .Mac address. :-( /J > >> >Define a personnality for each of your email adresses, each one > >> >configured to fetch your emails on the adequat servers.

For instance, you might use «Any Header» contains "name of first POP3 server" as the filter criteria and action "Make Personality."

My provider's mail server adds a header... X-Apparently-To: Even when email is Bcc'd to me I can click on BlahBlah and the address the email was sent to appears in the X-Apparently-To header. I don't know if most mail servers add this or a similar header. SignatureDave |
