Annoying email issue that is my own fault

Hello:
Several months ago I posted to this message board asking for help with an issue regarding my email. In December, I purchased a BB Storm but for various reasons, had to maintain a Tmobile BB Pearl as well through the end of February. In February, I contacted Tmobile and canceled my contract with no costs. Although I hyad deleted all contacts, calendar info, etc. from the Pearl, I forgot to delete my Tmobile BB email address. I tried to call back and do it the same day once I realized I was going to get a "message failure" email from <[email protected]> to my Gmail account with every email because of course the Tmobile BB email no longer exists. I called Tmobile and they said it probably wouldn't last because the email address was dying, but now 7 months later, I am still getting these messages.
I have set up filters so that the emails are sent directly to my Gmail trash and it doesn't really affect my email experience, but it is kind of annoying to get a message failed notification every time I get an email.
I realize I screwed up and have to live with the consequences, but is there anything that can be done to permanently delete that old Tmobile address?
Thanks.

Actually, it sounds as if the TMO address did die. Is this the sequence?
1) You receive an email at GMail
2) GMail forwards automatically to the dead TMO address
3) Your BB gets the email from GMail
4) TMO rejects due to the non-existent account
5) The rejection arrives at GMail
6) The rejection comes to your BB (since it's a new email to GMail)
If that's the sequence (which, btw, should return to step 2 and go in an endless loop), then the TMO address is indeed dead...you just need to find, in GMail, where the auto-forward is and kill that.
Or do we still misunderstand?

Email issue that I can't figure out.

I have a Gmail account and when I send messages on it from my BB the from address that the receipiant sees is a long series of code instead of my name or email address, for instance this is what it will look like to the person that receives the email...
SRS0=1jhDfa=2Q=******.com=*****@srs.bis.na.blackberry.com; on behalf of; ********** [******@******.com]
Is there a way to change this so it only shows my name or email address?

is your gmail directly integrated into BIS? have you tried deleting and re-adding your gmail on BIS?

Why am I able to receive an email from my own email address that I never sent?

I get email in my inbox that sends it to my junk email folder sent from my own email address that I never wrote or sent. It is junk mail and I want to stop it, I see no way to stop email with unwanted words like you could in windows xp.

Spammers can forge any "from" name and address they like on a message. Since most users don't block mail sent by themselves, they hope to slip past your spam filter this way.
Unless you see these items in your Sent Items folder, or they list multiple people from your address book, most likely they are not connected to your email account.
That said, it's a good idea to scan your computer for malware, because many users unknowingly get recruited into spamming rings (a bot program on your computer takes commands from the botnet coordinator and sends out the spam, usually without any visible indication).

You're not addressing Apple here. This is a user-to-user technical support forum. If you want to contact Apple, use the Contact Us link at the bottom right of every page for information on how to do so.
Best of luck.

My emails from the same person are grouped together, how do I undo this so that each email stands on it's own?

1.My emails from the same person are grouped together, how do I undo this so that each email stands on it's own?
2.Currently my emails are grouped together if the subject is the same, how do I undo this?
3.My emails are "folded up", with tabs like "See more" - how do I undo this? - I want to see the full email at once without having to click multiple times in the email on "show more" etc.
4.When I send an email to some one, a copy of that email is sometimes sent to me?? - this confuses my and make me think I by accident sent it to myself, but when I check it in the SENT box, it the correct recipient's name was used. How to fix this mystery?
Please help, I am not good with computers so you will have to keep your answer simplictic or in steps.

Email issues after Yosemite upgrade. Several things are happening, I delete messages only to get a error indicating that I can't delete them or if I do delete them, they reappear sometime later.

I use Apple mail on an IMAC & IMAC Mini. As I move from one to the other these email issues persist on both.
I try to clean out my email by deleting emails. I sometimes get an error message indicating I can't delete the message or when I do delete the message, then sometime later or when I go on the other computer these deleted messages reappear. I am also getting emails from some senders but the actual content belongs to another person.
I had none of these problems prior to upgrading to Yosemite.
Any suggestions would be helpful.

2.0 Issue that I haven't read about yet

This is the lenghty email I just sent Apple:
I like many others have been experiencing issues with the new 2.0 update for my ipod touch. the first issue is that my battery life has dropped signifigantly. if i use the touch for an hour it will be half way down, just reading articles, not using wifi at all. the other issue is that when i try to sync apps from itunes, some will fail but then when it is resynced they load fine. (i have a design issue with everytime you update apps the reorder them on your screen) the wifi is screwy, it will say "server not found" then when safari is rebooted it is fine. also it will randomly restart.
Now all of these issues are HEAVILY DOCUMENTED on your support forums, one however I can't seem to find anything on, and i hope it is also just a flaw with 2.0 that will be resolved very soon....anyway, i like to charge my touch while it is off. in the past i would turn it off, plug it in and see the battery pop up on the screen. now with 2.0 when it is off and i plug it in (at the wall or pc) it will turn itself on. when i try to manually turn it off, i get zero indication of it still being charged. it is just a black screen.
The point is which i hope you are well aware of by now is that hundreds of thousands of LOYAL apple fans that have apple tatoos and put apple stickers over the kenmore badge of their fridge and name all 3 of their kids Steve Jobs all because apple is known to be very realible and friendly for anything they touch (no pun intended) spent several hundred dollars on their equipment and money to update their touch to 2.0 all to not only have issues with the software, but even larger issues with support.
I, being an executive for a fortune 500 company am the first to understand keeping issues as quite as possible, and i further understand software glitches with any large update. HOWEVER, i do see a big problem when A) apple has done nothing to address this issue, even on their owned and opperated forums and B)have all of you employees treating this issue as if it doesn't exsist and that it is the users fault. the worst part is when the company knows of the issue and all of the employees deny it. i recall when microsoft had xbox360 issues they did everything they could to fix them and lost millions in the process, meanwhile apple wants a customer on you very own forum to pay $30 to mail his or her touch in to you.
This is just not what myself or anyone else expected from a company held in such high regard. please, address the problem, let your employees (especially the ones in the stores) know that this is an issue, and get a fixout immediatley.
thank you for reading,
regards,
Mike
so like the topic title states, i am having most of the issues that others are having (not as bad though) however i went to charge my touch tonight (because after an hour it was half dead). so i turned it off and when i plugged it in, it turned itself on! when i turn it back off while leaving it plugged in the batter picture that used to show up on the screen is not there, so i have no way of knowing if it is taking a charge.
i haven't read about this issue yet and it worries me. it always used to show the battery meter on the screen when it was off and plugged in (and it never would turn on when plugged in)
someone test and help, please.

I use a Macbook with Windows XP in Bootcamp & Outlook. Since I upgraded Itunes and Ipod, my calendar and contacts will NOT sync. I have tried everything many times.
My daughter uses a Macbook with Leopard and since she upgraded Itunes and Ipod, all of her music purchased from Itunes won't play. You can see it, you just can't play it. Her other music works fine.
I am a software programmer. This is definitely a major software issue.
I understand that it takes time to find and repair these software issues, BUT
Apple needs to at least let us know that they are working on it.
I'm sorry, without contacts and calendar functions that work, what is the point of trying to sell Mobile Me. From the threads, it sounds like it doesn't work either. What a sad joke.
Apple - get your act together.

Multiple AppleIDs with linked emails unable to be switched...can I unverify an email address that I already verified?

There is a major flaw in the design and use of AppleIDs and their use across the entire Apple product line. It could be fixed easily if I could "unverify" an email address that I used for a certain appleID. After over an hour talking with phone tech support they had no clue what to do so I proposed a temporary solution and gave up.
The problem is I had an apple id that I used for iTunes, and I had my main email address which was from MobileMe which got switched over to iCloud. My iTunes appleID is of the form that is just a word and not an email address. Because of this I was unable to use it for iCloud. The email address associated with the iTunes account appleID was my main email address which happened to be my MobileMe email address. Apparently once an email address has been verified with an account there is no way to unverify that email address. I already realized that I would have to have 2 appleIDs , one for iTunes and one for mobile me and I was ok with that. The problem was that the MobileMe email address would not let me set it as my email address because it had already been verified with my iTunes appleID. This left my MobileMe/icloud email address even though it IS an email address in and of itself, without an associated email address. I am unable to associate the email address that I want with that appleID. My solution was to create yet another email account and just use that but now that is causing problems with apps like "iMessage" , "Find my Friends" , and "FaceTime." I want my correct email address (MobileMe/icloud address) to be used to identify me me with my friends and relatives act. not the email address that I was forced to create as a temporary solution. If there was just a way to "Unverify" an email address or merge accounts this would not be a major issue. As it stands though this is a very confusing and incredibly annoying problem that Phone TechSupport had no clue whatsoever as to what could be done. Does anyone know a fix or if there is some way to Unverify an email address that you used (the lady on techsupport said they couldn't).

I've also had this issue and it beggars belief that they could have something so stupid as a policy.
I have no less than 8 Apple devices that I use actively not to mention the family who have more.
I have an Itunes account and have bought a load of music and movies etc.
I also (foolishly) took a MobileMe subscription and hardly used it.
Now, when I try to register for Facetime I can't register the one and only email address that I use.
Apple support says even though they have been using that for purchases on Itunes, App Store, MobileMe, etc etc, I cannot use it for Facetime! And Facetime requires the address so people who know me and know my one and only email address can call me on Facetime.
No, instead, I must use another new email address!!
How totally stupid.
Support are really unhelpful on this issue as well. They keep talking about multiple accounts and the address being used on these accounts. These accounts are Itunes, MobileMe. And who do they belong to?? One person, ME!!!
The last reply from support today was:
Dear Roger,
Unfortunately, there is no further information we have to offer and have now addressed all your concerns. This case is now considered closed. any further contact regarding this issue will be unanswered. However you are welcome to contact us if you need help with something other then this case.
Thank you for understanding.
Sincerely,

iTunes Store/App Store and MacApp Store Customer Support
Ah, NO! You have not addressed my concerns.
It is almost like they don't want any existing clients on Itunes and MobileMe to use Facebook.
I don't get it???? Help........

I've factory reset my iPhone twice, about to be three times. has anyone else had issues that force them to factory reset their phones.

So I got my iPhone 6 on the day it came out and it has been the most frustrating experience I've ever had with apple. I've had to factory reset my phone twice, probably about to be three times once i get home from work. The first time was trying to transfer my stuff from my old iPhone and right after it finished my iPhone 6 turned itself off then turned on to the boot up screen (the one with the apple logo) and then shut off then did the same thing. this forced my to factory reset my new iphone literally the day i got it. The next day i was trying to upload my music and basically the same thing happened again, forcing me to reset my phone for a second time. Just now (its been two weeks that I've owned my new phone)i tried to get on twitter and the app crashed then my phone reset itself and when it loaded to the unlock screen, instead of my background it was just a black screen with the time and the unlock slide. when i unlocked it, it went back to the normal background and the main screen. Because whenever i would turn off (not power off, but put it to sleep) the phone and turn it back on it would do the same thing. I decided to restart it (actually turn it completely off and then back on) and now it will show the boot up screen then turn off. I understand that there is the solution of factory resetting my iPhone, but 3 times in 2 weeks is pretty unacceptable, seeing as i had a 4s for almost 3 years and never once had to factory reset it and its also incredibly annoying to have to redownload all of my stuff. Has anyone else had this problem? is there anyway i can keep this from continuing to happen? is it a software issue or is it the phone itself that is messing up?

WiseJD, thank you for your suggestions. Well the first two restorations were the first and second day (9/19 and 9/20) that i had my 6 and both times i chose to restore is as new. since then there haven't been any issues until now. granted the first time my phone messed up was after i used the At&t transfer app which made me think it couldve been something that corrupted my device. the second time though started with me attempting to download music from the itunes store app on the phone. for whatever reason it would download but not but it wouldnt process and install the music. Then i tried to download it from my computer and thats when the second screw up occurred. that time i dont think it was an issue of my phone being corrupted because it was already acting strangely before i ever plugged it into my computer. This third time, i'm at work so i havent been able to do anything about it, i wasnt downloading anything and my phone was not hooked up to a computer, i simply tried to open twitter and then all this happened. and it has been a solid almost two weeks without incident which makes me think its my phone and not corrupt files. also looking at forums, not just these but other online, i haven't really seen anyone with the same problem which adds to my thought that its a problem with my phone.
Just to be clear, the first time this happened, the iphone would display the boot up screen then shut off then turn on and display the boot up screen, then shut of and kept going on like that until i put my iphone into recovery mode and factory reset it. the second time the iphone would display the boot up screen and then shut off, but wouldnt turn on unless i pressed the power button again. this third time is the same story. i dont know if this makes a difference or if its symptomatic of different problems but i figured it wouldnt hurt to explain in detail the issues that happened each separate time.
Also on a side note, i havent done anything like jailbreak it, mess with it download or any third party apps not on the app store.

Q10 Email Issues

On a regular basis email for one of my (4) different work email address will quit working on the Q10. The others work fine (all have same POP configurations with of course different log in credentials). I reboot it and it will work again for a couple hrs or occasionally days. I have reviewed the email settings and I can't find anything out of place. Blackberry user for over 15 years and have never had this issue until going to this phone. I came from the Bold which never experienced this issue at all. Email is through a domain that I own for my business. Account is set up as POP. Any idea what might cause this? Solution??

I also have a user with this problem.
He got the Q10 this pass weekend. It has been working ok until last night. Here is what I have observed:
- Open the email to view it, click any of the (Reply, Reply to All or Forward) icons, a new window opens with the To/CC/Subject info, cannot type a message in the body of the email (but can type in the To/CC/Subject fields). Also noticed there is no thread reflected in the body. He has two email accounts that show the same behaviour (Yahoo & Exchange ActiveSync).
- Workaround - If you press and hold the email (in the list view), Options from the right of the screen appear, click on the Reply icon from there and a new windows opens that will let you type in the body and it displays the thread. This will let you reply to the emails.
- The only way this cleared up was by shutting down the device and restarting it. Not an acceptable solution.
A quick Google search shows many others with this problem in this and Crackberry forums. This seems like an OS problem. Hopefully Blackberry can recognize this as a real issue.

Email Issue Detected

I access my Yahoo emails via Windows Mail and I have 5 email addresses.
Intermitantly sometimes one or other hangs when I click Send/Receive, also I sometimes get a BT message pop up headed Email Issue Detected with the option to Ignore or Fix.
If I click Ignore next time I try to download my emails they come in OK
Any ideas what is happening?
I tried to post the message but can't find out how to do it?

What is the point of a forum if we cannot get a solution to such a simple problem which many more users must be experiencing?
Hi Pugwash, welcome to the forums.
This problem is typical of an account access problem that can last up to a few days. It only affects a very small number of users from time to time, and not always at the same time - hence there are not a lot of posts on this particular topic.
Over the years this has just sorted itself out for each user, without there being any specific reason for the problem. It can easily be a database access failure or some form of temporary corruption.
Can you access your email account via webmail ?
What particular email client program are you using (e.g. Outlook, Windows Mail or Thunderbird) ?

Snow Leopard Email Issues -totally lost, need help

I am a fairly new iMac user so please answer with a "dummies" version.
OK, I installed Snow Leopard and have had issues sending email. I have Verizon DSL - who in their ultimate wisdom just made some changes on Sept. 1 and are now blocking port 25. I have a .mac email account that seems to be working ok, but the smtp settings are for .me and I can't change anything because it's all greyed out. I also have several AOL accounts that used to arrive on my mac with no issues, and I could send email from them as well. I now have difficulty sending email and must enter a password every time (annoying to say the least). At first, I thought I had a Verizon problem, so I followed Verizon's instructions and changed the port setting to 527 (or close to it, I don't exactly remember but it was the correct setting specified by Verizon) but after that I couldn't even get my email so I changed it back to port 993. I guess my biggest problem is trying to figure out who screwed up the email - is it Snow Leopard, Is it Verizon, is it AOL???? All I know is I'm at my wits end of what to do and how to do it. I thought about deleting all the accounts and starting over but I don't want to lose all my past messages. If anyone has any suggestions I'll be happy to try something different... please remember baby steps needed here. Thanks ever so much!

Hello, and welcome to the Discussions.
First of all, any place you are observing to see Port 993 is probably the location of the port for the Incoming Server -- 993 would never work for the Outgoing. Are you seeing that at Mail Preferences/Accounts/Advanced?
To adjust the port setting for Outgoing Servers, then in Mail Preferences/Accounts/Account Information click on the arrows beside the name of the SMTP and choose Edit Server List. Once in that window, and if the name of the server is correctly entered, click on the Advanced Tab. Once under that tab, then for the MobileMe account (.mac/.me) choose Use Custom Port, enter 587, and furthermore enter the Username and Password. Do similarly for the Verizon account -- check or not check to use SSL per Verizon's advice. The AOL account will probably work with Use Default Port, and not SSL.
Keep us posted.

I have a new acct that I've been using and need to connect them or some how merge them and get rid of the old one. Any help please!!!

Good question. The people who can help update your Apple ID to an accessible email address are atexpresslane.apple.com
