Email address auto-suggest

Does anyone know if there is a way to get the iPhone to quit auto-suggesting emails addresses? I just started a new job, and it has lot's of old suggestions based on having used Exchange Active-Sync. I have removed the contacts, but it's still suggesting their address.

restore as a new phone then resync and you are back to normal.
Those cached email addresses can be erased if the iPhone is restored and setup as a new phone, as described here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305744

  • How to clear email address auto-population

    Hi,
    when you start typing an email address into a new composed email, the application starts auto-suggestions of previously used emails and whatever is in the contacts.
    If you mis-spelled an email once and sent an email to that address, that address still appears. How can you clear that list.
    In Outlook for example you can just move arrow down on the auto-suggestion and hit delete. The same also works in IE or Firefox browsers if you want to delete auto-suggestions on previously used fields.
    Cheers,
     P
    My Nokia history:
    2110 => 6110 => 8110 => 6310 => 2300 => 2600 => 6070 => E71 => N97 Mini => E72 => C7 => E7 => E6 => 700

    Is the mis-spelled email address appearing in a drop-down list below the text field (as you would typically seen a desktop web browser) or is it appearing in the text field itself, suggested by predictive text?
    1) If it's the former look for "Clear Privacy Data -> Form/password data" on the browser menu.  (This will clear ALL stored form data.)  You don't list your phone model, so your layout could be slightly different.  The above is for an E73.
    2) If it's the latter, the only solution I know is to install Nokia's Custom Dictionary application at http://betalabs.nokia.com/apps/nokia-custom-dictionary .  This will let you delete and edit individual dictionary entries.  It should be compatible with most 3rd Ed. and 5th Ed. phones.
    Hope that helps!

  • Can't delete Unwanted Email addresses, Auto-fill in saves them all !

    How do I delete Unwanted Email addresses?
    Auto-fill in saves them all !
    When I start a new email, every email address I've
    ever written to pops up (To:) This greatly increases my
    chances of sending a new email to the wrong person.
    .....there's got to be a way to delete just the addresses
    I don't want !....but where & how ?

    I am also looking for a way purge the email addy autofill of old contacts that no longer exist. Many a family and friends have since changed their E-mail addy's, I have deleted their old addy's from contacts, yet the iPhone autofill still manages to hang on to those in some stored cache that is NOT accessible to purge or delete! This is something I've struggled with regarding the iPhone since my first iPhone months after it originally released years ago, have since owned a few other iPhones as they progressed, currently an iPhone 4, on os 4.01, same issue persists. Have restored my phones, started from new during some restores, etc, those old defunct E-mail addy's still autofill!
    I sync with my iMac yet do not even have my mail client set up on the iMac, never have since we bought the iMAc, web based E-mail only, so this issue has nothing to do with mail client on the computer it syncs to.
    It would be nice if someone from Apple would reply with acknowledgment that they are indeed aware of this and hopefully it is on their to-do list.
    Regards,
    Paul

  • Clearing email addresses/ auto fill in mail

    When I'm composing an email on my ipad2, I may press the "D" button. Then, in a drop down menu, all email addresses that ive sent emails to show up that start with the letter D(similar to how google try's to predict what your going to search for). Is there a way to clear out the email addressees or stop them from trying to auto fill? My account that my  ipad2 uses is a gmail account. I've tried to go through the gmail settings but nothing found so far....any help would be greatly appreciated.

    There isn't. It will eventually push of the line unless Apple change things in the interim.

    Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Start iTunes with the option (shift on Windows) key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.

  • How do I remove an email address MAIL suggests?

    Hi Forum.
    silly question. A friend has changed his email address. I have changed it in my address book.
    However when I compose a new mail and start to type the name of my friend, the OLD email address appears in a drop down list as much as the NEW address. How can I make it so that the OLD address wont show anymore? Sillylie enough the old address is listed first so I always end up sending mail to the wrong address.
    The old address is not in any part of my address book.
    Where is MAIL getting the address from and can I stop it showing the old address?
    Thanks

    Go to Mail's Window menu and select Previous Recipients. Seek and destroy.

  • Why does email address auto-fill in mail not work?

    When composing a new email, if I understand correctly, as you type the name, a suggestion SHOULD pop up with the address of the person.
    This works perfectly in iOS (iPhone/iPad) but does not work on both my MacBook Pros...
    What is the solution?
    I tried deleting all contacts, export to CSV, re-import etc. but to no avail...
    Thanks for your help

Lion!!  Any other suggestions...I thought these things were ment to UP grade and not complicate life even more?!!!

  • Partner Function - Partner Email address- VA01/VA02

  • Email addresses hijack?

    Contacts in my Address Book have received spam email apparently from my btinternet.com email address which suggests that my Address Book has been hijacked, although I am careful not to open suspicious looking emails.
    I have since deleted the server accounts in Thunderbird which I was using and have transferred to Mac Mail for all new emailing activity.
    Is it possible that my computer is now infected in any way?
    Is there any further action I should take?
    Thanks

    I have heard of this happening on windows systems, but not within OSX, although it's probably possible.
    Just Googled your query, and came up with nothing directly related. One thread in these discussions mentioned a log entry that could suggest this, but apparently the log message is benign. See the following thread: http://discussions.info.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10154166

  • Keep getting unreadable emails that say theyr'e sent from my email address sometimes every minute

    I keep getting undelivered mail with attachments which say they have come from me, its all rubbish with the words all messed about, the last one came from America, Is it because I don't have a spam folder so that they are sitting in my in box, and what do I need to do, as soon as I hover over them they open. how on earth do all these people have my email address. Any help please would be greatly appreciated.

    Yes, you've guessed it.
    Someone is abusing and using your email address.
    They are randomly sending to a load of email address which they hope will get a response. If any email address is not valid or blocking, then you will receive the Mailor daemon message that it is undelivered.
    This at least tells you that someone has used your email address.
    Do not respond to anything.
    Do not open any attachement.
    Delete those emails.
    Just in case any of your contacts have received one of these emails, you should alert them to the fact.
    Send them an email stating that someone is abusing your email address.
    Suggest you add a specific signature to your emails and tell your contacts that anything genuinely from you will have your signature. Tell them not to open an attachment and delete those emails. Usually, they do not even look like they came from the alledged sender.
    What you need to assess is whether this is just someone spoofing your email address (more common) or whether your computer or account have been compromised.
    Reboot computer in safe mode and run your anti-virus software.
    change passwords after checking no malware on computer - key logging etc.
    You cannot stop this kind of abuse.
    You can help to try to avoid this by never disclosing your email address in any forum etc.
    Sometimes people forward emails they think are amusing etc, but they do not remove the email addresses before forwarding, so after the email has been forward a zillion times, who knows how many people may end up knowing your email address.
    Good advise here:

  • I want to save email addresses I enter when using other websites

    I am sending emails through a website and would like to have the email addresses saved so that when I want to send an email to an address I've used before, it will auto populate for me.

    Here's a little detail about the problem. I am a real estate broker. When I log into the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) with Internet Explorer, after I send an email to a client, whenever I send one thereafter, the email address auto populates for me.
    When I do the exact same functions after logging into the MLS on Mozilla, it will remember addresses for that session but when I log in the next day, there are no email addresses saved.
    I am using the same email provider in both cases....I think!

  • Remind me "where" to delete a recently used -now obsolete- email address

  • Z10 auto suggest not working for email addresses

    My Z10 will suggest contacts from my address book. However!!-- it won't auto suggest not in contacts. On my previous BB's, I could start typing, and it would begin to suggest addresses I'd written to/received mail from before. I hope I'm not confusing so here's an example. I only recall the first letters of an old friend's email but not the rest. Or I received a mail from a company, want to contact again, and can't find the email. Why won't my device do this? I don't and never have added everything to contacts. Have latest update . Thx for any help.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi NCtrans,
    That is correct. The BlackBerry Z10 will only suggest the most frequently used contacts. If the email address is not in your contacts list, it will not appear as a suggestion.
    Thanks.

  • Deleting auto suggest email address

    PLEASE let me know how to delete erroneous email auto suggest addresses on iPad. 

    I use Gmail and found (after doing more research) that the Iphone was pulling contact information from my Gmail account as well as from the iPhone/iPad contact list.  (This makes sense when you consider that when writing an email on the Iphone, the email shows up on-line in the Gmail account)
    I rarely use Gmail on the Internet (as I use Outlook on my PC) and it never occured to me that this was the problem.  I decided to look at my contacts listed in Gmail and found the same email addresses being auto-suggested.
    After I deleted those contacts and went back to my iPhone/iPad, I verified that the email addresses were no longer being auto-suggested.  It worked!
    I don't know if this is also true for Yahoo, AOL, etc.  If it is, then all you will need to do is clean up the contacts in these accounts and the addresses should no longer be suggested.
    Good Luck!
