How to delete old email address

Every time I have a new mail and in the box To: I search for that specific name to find the email address, appear always a bunch of old addresses which are not valid anymore of course including latest. Is possible to delete old one, is quite annoying and confusing.
Also if I copy and paste from somewhere else an address and send a new mail, I cannot use right click of the mouse to paste it but works only with usual shortcut cmd-V, why this ?
Thanks

Yes, you can delete old email addresses you do not use anymore by going to Mail>Window>Previous Recipient and selecting which old email addresses you want removed.
hope this helps.

  • Mail - how to delete old email addresses from FROM box?

    I'm using:
    Mail 4.5
    Snow Leopard 10.6.8
    iCloud IMAP for my mac.com/me.com email address
    When I compose new messages, in the FROM box are listed old mac.com email alias addresses that I have deleted. 
    I tried deleting the icloud IMAP account within mail, then recreating that account.  But still, those old alias email addresses still appear.  And one of them has the name of my ex-girlfriend, so I really want that off my screen, haha!
    How can I delete those expired email address from the from box?
    Otherwise, my iCloud IMAP account works fine.
    Thanks for your help!

    Thanks, Kurt.
    Yes, those are email aliases (that I created on mobileme) that I no longer I have.  I still have the main mac.com address, but today I deleted the aliases through iCloud.
    And thanks.  But I already tried that.  After deleting the iCloud aliases on the iCloud website, I then deleted the iCloud account in preferences.  And in the FROM box, ALL the icloud email aliases and main mac.com addresses disappeared.  But when I recreated the iCloud acount within preferences, all those aliases reappeared in the from box.
    I did another test - I set up the email account on my friend's computer (also running 10.6.8).  And same problem.  So looks like the problem is on iCloud's end. 
    Meaning that though I deleted those aliases from the iCloud website, when I create an email account from within Mail, it gets the info from the iCloud server and that hasn't been updated to reflect deleting those aliases.
    Hm.

  • Mail: How to delete an email address in the "To" field that is no longer valid

    How to delete an email address that is no longer valid but still appears as an option when typing that person's name in the field "To"; in MS Outlook this simply works by deleting that email address in the field "To" or "Cc" or "Bcc". The old, non-valid email address has been deleted in the address book and replaced by a new valid email address. When typing in the "To" field both email addresses appear as an option. Is it possible to achieve that only the valid email address is offered as an option so to avoid any confusion.

    well, when the "false" address is in the "to" field, you should see a littl' arrow pointing down and a "remove from previous recipients list.
    It should fix the problem. (and so, only keep the "good one"
    (oops, too late)

    A friend of mine has just changed his email address but I cannot remove his old one from Mail. I have added his new address and removed the old one from my Address book but his old address still comes up as the default when starting a new email to him.
    Any ideas would be appreciated...Cheers...

    Biggest apologies thought I was writing about iOS!?
    Am I also wrong about that too in iOS?

    It appears because your mail app remembers a history of addresses.
    It cannot be deleted but I think it will disappear after a certain time.

  • I can't figure out how to delete and email address for someone that is no longer valid.

    I can't figure out how to delete an email address that is no longer valid.

    Assuming that this is on your iOS device, then you can change a contact's details via the Contacts app. If it's not linked to one of your contacts then I get a blue 'i' to the right of the email address on the popup list :
    Tapping on that gives me a second popup, at the bottom of which is :

  • How to delete old emails quickly?

    How to delete old emails quickly?

    If you have an IMAP account (eg, Gmail) that another computer also has access to, or that you have webmail access for, the quickest way is probably to delete them on that computer rather than the iPad. If you must delete them directly from the iPad, you can click Edit at the top of the screen, highlight the emails that you want to delete (click the box at the left of each) then click Delete at the bottom.

  • Hi Guys, i mistakenly synced my iphone and all my email contacts appears in my contacts list. its mixed up. can someone please assist me on how to delete the email address ONLY?

    hi Guys, i mistakenly synced my iphone and all my email contacts appears in my contacts list. its mixed up. can someone please assist me on how to delete the email address ONLY?

    Don't understand your problem... Contacts sync with a compatible address book or cloud service. Contact records can contain names, addresses, phone numbers, e-mail addresses, notes, or any combination of these. If you have records you don't want in your address book that you don't want in your contacts, then segregate them into groups in your address book and only sync the group(s) you want. If you don't want them there at all, then delete them.

    You can't delete either the account or the email address. If you are getting messages to it you don't want to see, go to http://icloud.com and to the Mail page: click on the cogwheel icon at bottom left and choose 'Rules'. Then set up a Rule to move all messages to your address to the Trash.

  • How can I delete old email addresses from the "From" drop down menu when sending emails?

    I have some old email addresses, I think may be aliases that show up in the drop down box  in the "From" in email messages that I send.
    They don't show up anywhere in the Preferences/Accounts panel at all.
    Very perplexed at this one.

    From the Mail menubar, click Window and select Previous recipients. In there you can delete old email contacts.

  • How to delete zombie email address

    How can you delete zombie email address and contacts that only show up when looking for an address when emailing.

    I think the OP was asking about the "auto fill" zombie email addresses.  If this is the case, they are not even in the address book to delete, they are suggested as you type.  If this is the case, as of right now there is no way to delete these one by one.  Hopefully an iOS update will allow this, as this is an old issue.  If they are truly bothering you, the "zombie apocolypse" is to restore as a new device, not using one of your backups, but then you've lost all your old data, so the cure is worse than the disease.
