I cannot find a list of all my email addresses? I can find contacts but they are phone contacts not email addresses. I imported them from windows. When I address an email I get an autofill for names starting with the first letter but I can't find a list of all my emails.
Thanks!
Are you referring to the Contact list in the To field? You click on a name you want and the addresses will show.
Hi Glen, thanks for your quick response. "Contacts" only have my iPhone contacts. I can see email addresses there if I click on them. I have a whole separate list of email addresses that I can't find. In windows I used to be able to see all my email addresses listed. I am looking for a similar list on the iMac. Sometimes I need to find a person by domain name if I don't know their name so a list of all my email addresses is helpful.
I'm not sure I'm following what you are saying. Are you missing contacts that are not syncing to your computer? If you open the Contact application, do they show there?
The Contact list in Mail is reflecting what's in your Contact Application.
My emails from windows are definitely on my computer because if I start out writing an email and putting in someone's name, it will autofill the email address. That same email address does not show up in the contact app. I don't have a contact list in mail?
Mail's autofill gets addresses from the Contacts application and Previous Recipient's list.
In Mail's menu under Window, open the Previous Recipients list. This is a list of all previous people you sent emails too.
If the Contacts are not in Mail, then you will need to add them there if you want them.
For the Contact list in the Mail application, I already showed you in the image of my first reply. Click on the icon on the right hand side of the TO field in a new message window to see it.
It's very hard to understand specifically what you are asking for. I'm sure there is a language barrier here.

If they are, they would be in the Contacts app.
I am quite sure they are displaying because the Mail app has them memorized as previous recipients. Mail app does not have a contacts list as such, only the previous recipients.
Your Contacts app is what has whatever info you put into it. So, you need to set up your email addresses (and whatever other info you want) in that app. The Mail app will get it up from there.
Perhaps these two images will illustrate my problem. If I put in the letter "t" on the To: line to write an email this is the list I get:
If I put in the letter T to add a name, this is what I see. In other words no email list:
OK. I see the contact list is greyed out. If you open the Contact Application, can you select the addresses there?
No!!!! That is what I don't understand!
Ahh, I see you are referring to what is stored in the cloud (which I did not know). As far as I know, that info had to have come from your Contacts app on your computer - but I could be wrong there.
So the problem is with the Contact application. In Contacts, can you select the iCloud group or the On My Mac group and see where they actually lie?
If you have the contacts in iCloud, can you go to the iCloud.com website and login there. See if the contacts are there and you can access them.
It must be because I exported the email list from windows. So I would have to manually put them in my contacts?
If you exported the list from windows in .vcf format, you should be able to Import them directly into the Contact Application. It appears that something got imported, but you show All Contacts selected in your image. So I can't tell if it's in the local area or in iCloud.
Please verify as per my previous post on whether or not they are in iCloud and if you can access them at the website.
I logged into iCloud and contacts and there are no email addresses there. Just my iPhone contacts same as this:
If you go back to the Windows machine and export the contacts again. This time, export them as vCards. Export them to a folder because they will be individual cards.
Then you can go to the Contact application and use the Import function to import them into the Contact application.
Otherwise, you will have to add them manually.
Where are my email addresses in El capitan mail?
