Apple mail previous recipients list is gone

Frustrating!

Don't worry, I'm here to help you recover the previous recipients list in Apple Mail. Here are a few troubleshooting steps to try:

  1. Check the "To" field: Sometimes, the previous recipients list might be hidden in the "To" field. Try clicking on the "To" field and see if the list appears.
  2. Use the "Show All Recipients" button: In the "To" field, click on the three vertical dots (⋯) and select "Show All Recipients". This might reveal the list of previous recipients.
  3. Check the "Bcc" field: If you're using the "Bcc" field, the previous recipients list might be hidden there. Try clicking on the "Bcc" field and see if the list appears.
  4. Try the "Recipient" field: In the "Recipient" field, click on the three vertical dots (⋯) and select "Show All Recipients". This might reveal the list of previous recipients.
  5. Check your email account settings: Ensure that your email account settings are correct and that you're using the correct account to send emails.
  6. Try restarting Apple Mail: Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve the issue. Quit Apple Mail, reopen it, and try sending an email again.
  7. Check for any add-ons or plugins: If you're using any add-ons or plugins with Apple Mail, try disabling them to see if they're causing the issue.
  8. Try using the "Paste" feature: If you have a list of recipients saved elsewhere (e.g., in a note-taking app), try copying and pasting the list into the "To" field.
  9. Check your email provider's settings: If you're using a third-party email provider (e.g., Gmail, Outlook), check their settings to ensure that the previous recipients list is not being blocked or filtered out.
  10. Contact Apple Support: If none of the above steps work, you can contact Apple Support for further assistance. They may be able to help you recover the previous recipients list or provide additional troubleshooting steps.

I hope one of these steps helps you recover the previous recipients list in Apple Mail!
