Mail.app too clever for its own good!

December 21st, 2008

I’ve used Mail.app ever since I got a mac and have for the most part been very happy with it!

One small gripe though of late is how it attempts to *correct* Address Book entries for you when users send you an email.  Say for example I have a friend called ‘John Smith’ but he is known to his friends as ‘Smithy’, I would want to have him listed in my phone as the later… Now say I have also added his email address to his contact details in Address Book and he happens to send me an email where he has entered his full name as the email sender, eg ‘John Smith‘. Mail.app very cleverly matches the email address to the record in my Address Book and notes that the Address Book entry is missing a surname, so works it out from the email and automatically updates the Address Book entry.

So I would then be left with ‘Smithy Smith’, which is not correct at all! Whilst I think this is a very clever and useful feature, it would be great to be able to turn it off!

Does anyone know if it is possible to kill this *feature*?

As an aside, you might ask why not put the nickname in the ‘nickname’ field… thats all well and good but it is not possible to search for contacts by nickname on the iPhone… As suggested on this thread the ideal solution would be a per contact check-box to force a specific contact to be listed using the nickname

Nokia 6280 Restriction Code

June 19th, 2007

Had a crap day yesterday and to top it off my phone gave up the ghost and would let me use it asking, forcing me to enter a ‘restriction code’. Called Orange, about as unhelpful as ever telling me it would be ?Ǭ£300 for a replacement and a ?Ǭ£100 admin fee… yeah right!

Did a quick google this morning and found a few posts on the net, seems that this is a really common problem with the 6280 and can be easily fixed:

  1. Start phone without simcard in
  2. Remove battery when phone is on
  3. Put simcard back in phone and turn on

This worked perfectly! Hope this helps anyone who is unlucky enough to have this phone problem… now how simple is that Orange you money grabbing scamming gits!?
