Cannot fix wrong email and resend with gmail app on CM10.1 nightly

So had a very interesting situation... Needed to send an email to [email protected] but was provided the email address as [email protected] (where xx is the 2 letter country code). Naturally, after hitting send, got a bounce back for undeliverable address. Then was told by the recipient that the .xx at the end of the address should not be there.
So I try to recompose but everytime, the gmail app matches to the now remembered "wrong" address and replaces the recipient with this address which naturally fails. For the life of me, I could not figure out how to edit this address before sending since it would rematch back to the broken address after the edit. So it became impossible to now send to this recipient using their correct email address. Well, not impossible but the workaround was fugly.
I am running the latest 10.1 nightly. The fundamental problem seems to be that the contacts app is one created by CM(??) and it lacks the ability to view the "other/not assigned" group which is where this one off recipient address should have been listed so I could delete/edit it.
Of course, it would also have helped if the gmail app tried to be less "intelligent" and stop matching if after the first match, you edit the address or provide a way to edit without matching to previous recipients.
Alas, was quite a frustrating experience for such a simple problem...
FWIW, was talking to someone running stock and their contacts app (ie. the one from Google) had the ability to view the "other/not assigned" group and so it was possible to delete the wrong recipient.

Try logging into the desktop site. Should be an option on there to delete recent email addresses that are not part of your contacts.

Yeah. That's a convoluted workaround. The other option was to forward to one of my yahoo account and forward again from there.
Was hoping there was something I had overlooked but seems like you hose an email address, there is no easy way to correct that and resend in the gmail app if you are on a phone.

Yep i set this. But still show my e-mail not my name.

?? Nobody have problem with sending mail over default app ?

I am having the same exact problem! No matter what i set for my display name, it just puts my email address as the name on outgoing messages. Posted the question in the huge "Ask any question" thread, but received no replies. Tried deleting and recreating 3 separate mail accounts, but they all have the same problem. No issues in prior versions of Android on other devices.
Seems odd that this does not appear to be a more common question yet..

I used an sqlite database browser and confirmed my desired display name is being saved in the stock email app db, so the program must not even be checking that value.
Cannot find any other reports of this issue online, very odd. Has nobody else noticed this bug yet, or is it somehow only affecting a couple of us?
EDIT: Android bug report filed, please 'star' it to generate some attention: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=63280

Email address cut off issu with Xperia Z3 Email app

Dear team,
This is regarding the email app in the Xperia Z3 duos phone.
Suppose, i am getting an email from someone with multiple people in "CC" and "To".
If i do a "reply all" or "reply only to the sender", in my reply, all the other addresses other than the sender's name gets cut off from the email to which i am replying.. This behavior seriously deforms the email chain and make us lose track of who all where there in the earlier email. This is especially bad when using for corporate official emails.
If i use my Samsung email app, the addresses will not get cut off. I have attached screen shots of the original email with replies done using Xperia and samsung email app.
Appreciate if you can help resolve this.
Thanks you.

Personally? I uninstalled the built-in email program and installed k-9 through f-droid. I don't use my email heavily but k-9 works well enough for a phone.

In your example, you're using the same email address multiple times. I think when you do the "reply all," the app recognizes it is the same address and removes the duplicates. You would find this same behavior if you were using Outlook, which resolves all the addresses right before dispatch, and only sends the email to the recipient once.
If you have, say, four or five unique email addresses in the CC and select "reply all," does the app still remove some of them? I assume yes and that is what prompted this forum thread, but I'll ask just to be sure.

just disable the sony email app and install Gmail from google play. :highfive:

Hi, unfortunately, my company email does not allow access to K9

Hi, thanks for the suggestion. I tried K9, but unfortunately, my company email is not working with K9, i think they are not allowing access to any 3rd party emails. It is being managed using the Airwatch

Hi, yes.. if i use different email addresses also, it will still remove all of them. And as you can see from the screen shot, when i used the Samsung email client, it did not remove any of the email addresses, even though it was the same. So the problem is with the Sony email client it seems.

How do I change my XDA profile email address?

I enrolled a while back and now I want to update my profile information (my email address).
I click the gear icon and the human head icons but I dont see anything there that displays my registered email address.
Where might I find this information so I can verify/change this if it's incorrect?
Thank you.

It's easy as clicking on your name which will bring you directly to your xda profile and then work your way down to edit your email address

So cool. But I wonder whether we need to specify the IP address and password for a SMTP server when sending an email.

You don't need it while using this app.

Then what route (SMTP server) the sent emails would go through in order to reach the destination?

I am using a server with (IP address and password ) , So you do not need to fill yours.
I hope it's answer your question.
