Re: Mail App Anomaly - It Thinks My Email Address Belongs to Other People?

A few weeks ago I started receiving emails that looked like they were
addressed to other people I know. But on checking the email address, I
found that it was my email address - Mail was just putting somebody
else's name beside it.

Just now I tried to address an email to myself. I typed in my own email
address, but a friend's name popped up next to it. It looks like this in
the "To:" field:

John Smith

When I control-click on it, it shows my correct email address.

How do I fix this?

I've tried vacuuming the index, as described in this MacWorld post:

Thanks in advance to all for any info.

Click the "Address" button at the top of the Mail window and se if the bad name is there.

Click "Previous Recipients" in Mail's "Windows" menu and see if the bad name is there.
