"Reply All" re-sends to me! So annoying!

This was SO helpful. I also didn't used to have this problem, and then it started happening and was driving me CRAZY. Turns out that at some point the address is my preferences got changed, and it wasn't matching the one in the emails.

It is now FIXED. I can't thank you enough!!!

That worked for me on both the Mac and the iPhone -- each had suddenly started including me in replies to all. Think it may have changed with iOS 5.1 & the associated Lion update? In any case, it worked for me. Thanks!

I had similar problem when I did a clean install of Lion and had to set up Manually my emails again, but I was able to fix it.

I started to see my email included in the CC when I was using "Reply to All". After checking this discussion, I went and double-checked the information I entered on my email on Preference -> Accounts, and realized that there was a typo in the field "Email Address", which was not preventing the email from working (it seems that the system rather uses the Email address defined in "Use Name" just below "Incoming Mail Server" on IMAP settings). When I fixed the Typo, I stopped being in the CCed of the "Reply All".

I had the same problem with my iPhone 4 when using my Gmail account via IMAP.

It came out of nowhere, no change in settings or account info, just started adding me to the CC line when I hit Reply All to an email. I deleted the IMAP account and then immediately added it back onto my iPhone and problem solved. Cant explain it but wanted to put it down in case it helped someone else.

@ relativitydrive: I had the same issue but after reading your post, I checked my account and realized that I was using an alias address (firstnamelastinitial@company.com) in Mail instead of the address that is listed in our company directory (firstnamelastname@company.com). So when someone in the company sent me an email, it would go to firstnamelastname@company.com and when I hit reply all, I would get the CC. I changed the address in Mail account settings and voila, no more CC's from myself. Thanks!

I have just tested this aginst Outlook 2011 and Mac Mail and i cannot get it to add my email address when i "reply to all"..

I do not know if this is now fixed in 10.8.2 or not, but i can not get it to have the issue you guys are having.

This is using my Exchange server and like i said,i tested with Outlook 2011 and Mac mail

OSX 10.8.2

That's awesome, thanks! It was so very annoying, once I switched over to Outlook (definitely not regretting, Mac Mail is decent at best) and it continued to happen, I knew it was just Mac Mail sucking.

This is NOT true. Neither Outlook nor Entourage does this by default. Not even FREE email services, like Homail or Yahoo, do this. Moreover, and this is the inexcusable part, they all have settings to automatically include yourself as a cc:. What MORON designed it this way? You give me the opportunity to automically include myself as a cc: and then send it to me anyway? What the frick? It's a moronic design and a valid gripe. Apple should at the very least include a setting to control this.

I had a completely different solution to the problem of "reply to all" including me. After months of perturbance, trying all the things I could find on message boards, it turned out to be quite simple. All I had to do was:

1. Open the Contacts Application.

2. Find the card that represented myself and confirm that my email was correct.

3. With my card selected, go to the drop down menu and choose "Card" --> "Make this My Card".

That's it. It solved the annoying "reply to all" problem as well as other issues, including the fact that no one ever received my responses to calendar events. For me, I think this was rooted in a complicated migration from my old Mac.

I have been experiencing the same issue. It is absolutely repeatable and I have been unable to cure it with any of the suggestions I've found in this or any other thread/discussion. Here is what I've found thus far:

1. My bug is not Exchange related. I do not use Outlook, interface with an Exchange server, or work in a corporate environment. This is just me, my MacBook Retina, Apple Mail and OS 10.8.3 in a home environment.

2. The problem does NOT occur when I Reply All to an email that is in an IMAP hosted mailbox, be it my inbox, the Trash hosted on the server, or any folder stored in "the cloud" (iCloud or a different IMAP account I have at a different hosting site).

3. The problem DOES occur (and only seems to occur) when I Reply All to an email that has been moved (manually or by a rule) to an On My Mac local mailbox ( and thus has been removed from the IMAP servers).

I can replicate this reliably with an individual email. Place the email in an iCloud folder and Reply All works as expected. Place the same email in an On My Mac folder and Reply All includes me in the reply. Move the email back to an iCloud folder and all is well again with Reply All - no copy to me.

I've also replicated this behavior using my iCloud email account on a separate Mac Mini I use as a home server. It has minimal additional login or launch daemon items and uses no mail plug-ins or bundles. Lastly, I've replicated this behavior on my wife's Macbook Retina running 10.8.3 using her iCloud email account. As I mentioned, I've also replicated it using Apple Mail on my laptop to access a 3rd party non iCloud IMAP account.

I have the same issue as "CyclingMac". While it is on the server (imap inbox) it replys correctly - without my name in the CC. Once i move it to one of the "ON MY MAC" folders, it CC's me. very bad. nothing extra is installed. 10.8.3

Thanks CyclingMac; this is the only part of this discussion that seems to apply to me. If I reply to an email that is still on an IMAP server everything works. If it's been moved to somewhere "On My Mac" I get included in the reply. I used to use Outlook 2011 at a previous job and never had the issue. My email addresses all match in my Mail Accounts settings, and my card is set to "me" in Contacts.

I can confirm exactly the same as Dukat writes above. I'm using Mail on ML, all address match, and my contact card is correct; the problem occurs when I reply to a message that is not on the original account's IMAP server.

In my case it's a big problem because I have all my mail forwarded to icloud (for push), but I want to reply to messages sent to my non-icloud account using that same (non-icloud) account. Every time I do it replies to me.

I had the cc to myself even though I had the cc myself button turned off on my iPhone 5. I have a gmail, yahoo and exchange account. It only did it on the exchange account. I have an iPad also, but it only occured on my iPhone. I deleted my exchange account on my iPhone and re-entered it and the problem went away. Not sure if it work for you on your device but it is a pretty easy fix.

I had this problem beacuse my company have two domains (two companies merged into one), and they switched the exchange server to use the new one, and since mail was configured with the old, it could not recognize is as my email and added it in the reply-all.

So if anyone have email forwarding (or otherreasons the account email does not match the 'your email' in recipients), that might be why.

Swicting to the new email address in accounts fixed it.
