How do I delete old downloaded emails from hotmail

When I bought my Macbook Pro the Apple tech helping me set it up incorrectly started downloading thousands of old emails from my Hotmail account. I don't use the email account on my Macbook and prefer not to. How do I find and delete these emails and the attachments that were included? I just recently figured out that they exist on my Macbook. Thanks!

Why didn't the Apple tech correct your issue?

How can i delete old outdated emails from my ipad?

Ipads and Iphones remember every email I have ever used. Even if I make a typo or if I have deleted an old email. There seems to be no way of deleting them. Now I find that when I was in a hurry and sent an email to "Teresa" the choices that come up are the new AND the old one. Also, my husband thought his gmail was [email protected] but it REALLY was [email protected] The devices remember both so when I copy him on an event i am offered both choices and have to debate with myself which is correct. Any know a way to fix this???
Thanks!

Hi Ritahyde - There is a way to remove recent email addresses that you have used on your iPad and iPhone as long as they are not in your contacts. To do this, create a new email and start typing the email address that he would like to delete. As soon as it pops up, there will be on the right-hand side a circle with the letter "I". Tap on that circle and you will be taken to your recent email address and at the bottom you can click on "remove from recents".
Now, if you do not see that circle icon to the right of that email address, that means that you have saved this email address in your contacts and you need to delete it from there first.
Hope this helps!

Mail 5.0 doesn't Download Email from Hotmail

Hi,
Mail 5.0 Doesn't Download Email from Hotmail,
The other days he could,
What can i do?

In the preferences file, it already shows that my signature belongs to my mail account. In fact, everything is precisely how I had it setup before Lion upgraded the mail program. According to Mail - Preferences - Signatures, my signature should be automatically appended to my email, but the compose window doesn't allow me to select the signature. It only shows that there are no signatures and gives me an option to open the preferences file.
My point is that the preferences are set up correctly. Something else is broken here.

How can I delete all my email from my outlook account without deleting the account?

I am trying to delete the many emails from my outlook account which I can bring up on my ipad mini. I want to keep the outlook email on the ipad. So far all I have been able to do is bring up the email list, touch edit, then touch each email then move to trash. I have a lot of email and would like to delete them all at once. Thanks for any assistance!

The Apple instructions state:
Edit a mailbox.
While viewing a list of messages, tap Edit. Select certain messages or tap Mark All, then:
Tap Mark to Flag, Mark as Read or Move to Junk
Tap Move to move selected messages into a mailbox
Tap Trash to move them to the trash
If you make a mistake, shake iPhone immediately to undo.
Unfortunately, the MOVE and the Trash buttons never activate ... is there a fix for this or is this an oversight?

How can I delete all the email from a user's account?

I have a user account with a huge amount of mail (around 50K messages) that Apple Mail can't deal with... it constantly hangs and/or crashes whether I use POP or IMAP to try and delete all the mail from the client.

Thanks!

How do i delete a icould email from my iphone when i no longer have access to the email address and my security questions dont match to get in to the account?

I am trying to delete my icloud account from my iphone as i no longer have access to this email and when i try to challenge the security question to access the account apparently i dont know my own date of birth. I cant delete the account as i dont remeber the passwrod and i have a new icloud account that i would like to link the phone to. Any help would be appreciated
thanks

If the old ID (iCloud account) is yours, and if it is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.
This will not work if your current ID is an entirely new ID and is not a newer version of the old ID.

How do I delete already downloaded app from apple account so kids cannot redownload them

Hi,
My kids somehow manage to download a game app on my iphone while it was signed into my apple account. Now even if I deleted that game they can always go into the app store and search for that game and download it again without having to put a password since it is already in my purchased list. How do I delete that app completely or prevent them from downloading it again without my password?

Go to Settings/General/Restrictions and set a restriction on installing apps.

How do I delete old wifi networks from appearing in the wifi icon in the menu bar.

Just bought a new Airport Time Capsule and is up and running OK.
When I click on the wifi icon in the menu bar all my old wifi networks appear
which are then viewable by neighbours although the networks themselves are PW protected.
In system preferences>network>advanced I have deleted all my old N/Works allowing only
my new one to appear.
How can I delete the old networks I no longer use from re-appearing in the list under the wifi icon?
Alan

When you delete old networks in System Preferences > Network > WiFi > Advanced, be sure to click the OK button, then click the Apply button in the next window that appears.
You also need to delete the old networks in KeyChain Access as follows:
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > KeyChain Access
Click on the name of an old wireless network to highlight it
Click the Delete key on your Mac
Do the same for other old wireless networks that you no longer use, then restart your Mac.

How do I delete a bad email from iCloud so it will stop showing up?

I followed the instructions to remove a bad email from my email on my macair but it won't go away. I think that stupid icloud won't let me get rid of anything and it drives me nuts. Every time I try to send an email to the correct address, the wrong one keeps popping up. There should be a way to permanently remove something you want removed (unlike iPhone that removes everything you don't want removed). May have to go back to pc world -- apple lacks logical apps.

You mean that it's auto-completing the address incorrectly? Go to 'Previous Recipients' from the 'Window' menu and delete the address from the list. (This is in Mail 4.6, I don't know if it's the same in later versions.)

How can I delete old, incorrect contacts from iCloud?

There are hidden duplicates in my iCloud contacts - old ones for contacts where I've updated info. They don't show up in the regular contacts list ("all contacts"), yet they always show up when I enter a name into an email address and in iPhoto's Faces names. I can't change them to the correct names in iPhoto. And I can't find them to delete the old data.
Anyone know where these are stored (old contact data that's been deleted or updated)? And, how can I access that place?
Thank you.

Well.....
After an incredible amount of research on this issue, I discovered it's not new. In fact, there have been many complaints about it with no action (to date) by Apple. Here's what's happening...
On iOS devices (iPad, iPhone), when an email is received or an email address is changed, IN THE EMAIL APP, a cache is formed with all the "received email addresses." These - right/wrong/incorrect/whatever are stored and pop up when you enter an email recipient. THERE IS NO WAY TO DELETE THESE ON iDEVICES.
However, if you have a Mac, it's an easy cure -
Open Mail > Windows > Previous recipients > select those you want out (or all, for that matter - doesn't affect the Contacts list) > Remove.
Too bad Apple hasn't seen fit to add this to its iOS functionality. Maybe if enough complaints are received, it might show up in iOS6 ?????
