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

relativitydrive,

Thank you for solving the question posted by pieceolease.

My problem was that I droped the ".com" out of the email address field in: Mail/Preferences/Accounts/AccountType.

Funny how such a small thing can drive me up a wall.

I had the same issue on Outlook 2011 and I resolved it by updating to the email address field in the account prefrences.

People were sending to my@email1.com address and outlook was configured with my@email2.com aliis address. If these do not match the "reply to all" will include you as there is no match.

Ensure that the email address configured in this prefrence field is the same as what people are you emailing you with. Might seem obvious but if you have one account with mutiple aliases this is likely to happen

Dam0 - This was almost exactly my issue so thanks for posting your solution. My company has two very similar domains (company-name.com and companyname.com). I removed the hyphen from my email address in the mail account preferences and viola - that stopped from reply all including me. Thanks Dam0!

If you are using exchange and don't have Outlook you may find that the email address field in Preferences > Accounts > Account Information is disabled so you cannot add additional email addresses. You can still fix this issue in Mavericks by editing ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Accounts.plist searching for the following line:

<key>EmailAddresses</key>
<array>
     <string>default.email.address@example.com</string>
</array>

And then adding in the address that people are actually sending email too:

<key>EmailAddresses</key>
<array>
     <string>default.email.address@example.com</string>
     <string>another.email.address@example.com</string>
</array>

Then restart Mail. If you go to Preferences > Accounts > Account Information you should now see

default.email.address@example.com, another.email.address@example.com

in the Email Address field.

I see the same problem being CC'd but in our case, we have Exchange 2010 with multiple alias's. If I set the address to the correct email address, after a few days it reverts back to one of the other alias address's. Is anyone else seeing this behavior? I can even force it to happen by logging into Outlook Web Access, going to options, pulling up the phone and deleting the device. The next time the phone tries to contact the Exchange server, it picks up the wrong address and populates it in the email address field under settings.

I had the problem with MacOS 10.10.3 and mail.app and running an exchange account. I tried everything changing the adress card to this is me and so on, nothing helped.

Finally, when i was looking through my exchange settings i found the problem. We get usernames based on our names eg person John Doe gets johdo. This we use as user names on the servers. Our email address is still john.doe@xxxx.xx though. So all mail i receive is to john.doe@xxxx.xx, but in mail preferences my email was listed as johdo@xxx.xx (which is also valid), when I changed this reply all started to work.

I am also having this issue but I'm NOT using REPLY ALL, just REPLY. I have GMAIL (IMAP) coming into MAC MAIL and every email I reply to comes back to my inbox as an email to me as well! It's like doing double duty to delete them all! SO ANNOYING! Please help! I've tried everything and nothing works.

Additionally, none (or very little) of my spam from gmail is coming into my mac mail--I often need to have my spam delivered so I can sort through it. I have the JUNK settings in MAC MAIL turned OFF and I have the Settings in GMAIL turned on to allow the SPAM folder to show up--it doesn't show up in the list BTW - ONLY as the JUNK folder in MAC MAIL. Why is it all so glitchy! Thanks all!

This is definitely not normal behavior and it didn't work like this in the past. Maybe this happened with the upgrade to El Capitan. I just called tech support and the woman told me the same thing happens on her system. If someone emails me and another person, and then I hit reply all....there is no reason I should end up with a copy of the message again in my inbox. It should just go to the sent folder. And in fact, this is the way it's working on the iPad and iPhone....so this is an OS X issue and I wish they'd recognize that this is a problem.

stevenzac this has been happening since Yosemite so it's not just an El Capitan issue.

Thank you for these instructions davidomundo. I'm not sure I am clear on #4. When I follow 1-4 there is already an alias there with the full name and email address--Full name is actually the nickname I use to ID the account and the email address. You're saying to simply delete the name portion? And this solves the problem?

I don't think I can do these steps in IOS. Do you have a fix for that too?

I thought I sent this reply in an earlier post but it appears not--more FYI:

This should totally work, but when I open preferences and edit that information, either in the aliases or the account name, the SAVE or OK dialogue pops up, but when i hit SAVE or OK - it does nothing. I cant close the preferences box and have to force quit out of mail? Should I remove my Mail prefs and start over? How?

Thanks so much Pingu! Your link was a little off so I had to poke around a little to find the page, which was posted 3 October 2015 at https://codeisgreen.net/blog/2015/10/03/el-capitan-and-exchange-aliases-solution /

Here is the text for those that don't like following links:

1. In OSX Mail, select Mail -> Preferences.

2. Highlight your Exchange account from the list on the left.

3. Make sure the Account Information tab is selected in the right panel and look for the Alias dropdown.

4. The alias dropdown may be greyed out (it was for me) so, if it is, go to the Outgoing Mail Server dropdown and change it to none.

5. Close down that panel (or select another mail account from the left menu if you have one) to force it to save. It should ask you if you want to save settings.

6. Go back into that panel and you should find the Alias dropdown is no longer greyed out, so click the dropdown box and then select Edit Aliases.

7. You can now use the + and – buttons to add any aliases you want.

8. When you’ve added all your aliases, before you exit, change the Outgoing Mail Server entry back to Exchange.
