I use eM Client with Zoho Mail. I’ve just spent a DAY trying to find out why, recently, when sending an email with a BCC, the name of one of my contacts has been added, without my requesting it, to the BCC address line.
The explanation:
I created a rule in Zoho Mail to add a BCC to certain mail. It would appear that over the years when I have used eM Client V9 to send my emails, an additional blank BCC has been added to the email’s header or, when using eM Client v10, a comma has been added before the required BCC address.
This has never affected the delivery of the emails but, with eM Client V10.4, that inserted comma is read as a faulty address and replaced in the BCC list with “[email protected]”.
I discovered today that one of my contacts also contained “[email protected]” in the email address field, presumably because eM Client used this text to replace a corrupted or blank entry. As this matched the “[email protected]” in the BCC line, the name of the contact was substituted.
Having uninstalled eM Client 10.4 and reinstalled 10.3, this problem of incorrect BCC display has disappeared.
I have, however, learned that thousands of my sent emails were created with either an additional blank BCC header or a header where the correct BCC address is prefaced with a comma.
I should say that if I send the email from within Zoho Mail, the BCC address appears in the email header exactly as one would expect, with no blank BCC header or comma before the address.
Can anyone explain HOW, or WHY eM Client appears to have produced these two distict errors — which seem to be linked to two versions of eM Client?
