Apple - yosemite mail remove self from cc list

The default behavior for Mail is that it doesn't cc you when replying unless you've flipped the toggle to cc you on every reply.

But you can get weird mismatches that cause Mail to not identify your own address. This just happened to me with my work Exchange account. I moved to Mail from Outlook and Mail cc'd me on every response.

The resolution for my specific case was that my contact card had my name entered as firstname lastname, while my Exchange account in Mail showed the name as lastname, firstname. When I changed the display name in the Mail account to match how it displayed in my contact card, Mail stopped ccing me.

I had the same issue and I managed to solve it by simply editing the Aliases for my account. What I did: in the Mail > Preferences > Accounts > select account, than in the Alias dropdown select Edit Aliases and than I've added a new alias, practically my email address: Full name: [email protected] Alias: [email protected]

This solved the issue for me. Hope it help.

Especially with Microsoft Exchange accounts that have a different alias used for login than is actually seen in a recipients 'from' field, one needs to go to Mail -> Preferences -> Accounts, select such exchange account -> Email addresses, and then add both the '[email protected]' and the other human readable email address that usually contains the owners [email protected].

This solved the issue for me.
