Can't delete email address from Mail

I keep sending emails to the wrong address as when I start typing a name Mail seems to bring up a quite random address for the recipient if there are several.
Not only does it not default to the last address received from/sent to but it will enter an old address that has been deleted from Address Book.
I can still see the deleted address in Mail when I click on the address button [tho it is well deleted in Address Book] and the only option in Mail seems to be to delete the whole card.
Any suggestions most welcome,
Colin

Colin,
Have you checked Mail>Window>Previous Recipients for the old address? If not, attempt to "Remove From List" at that location and let us know what happens.

How can I collect email-addresses from mails in my inbox?

Hey there!
I had to refresh my computer and didn't realize I would lose my address-book.
So now I have the newest version of thunderbird and thousands of emails newly downloaded, but nothing in my address-book.
I'd love to send emails to people just by starting to type their name again, instead of hunting for old emails sent by them..
I found there are add-ons like address-crawler or Incoming Addresses Collector, but they seem to not be compatible with the new thunderbird.
Is there an alternative to reinstalling an old version of thunderbird, downloading all the emails again, using the addons, export them into the new version?
Thank you!

Did you try this one?

It works fine here in TB 24 & 32.
You may want to create a separate address book for collection, then right-click a folder to access the Crawler options.

How can I export email addresses from apple mail?

How can I export email addresses from Apple Mail?
Just to be CRISTAL CLEAR please don't reply with export instructions from the address book.....not interested in this.
I have customers that fill-out a request form online, then the data is sent to our database on our server, and another copy is sent to my email account. The server database got corrupted and is now lost. The only data left are in my email app called APPLE MAIL. I have created Filtered Folders so the data is just in one Folder, not mixed with all other emails. Is there a way to export the email names & addresses from APPLE MAIL to a CVS file or Excel file?
Again this is not a question related to Apple Address Book. This is ONLY for Apple MAIL exporting!
Thanks

There is a collection of AppleScripts called Mail Scripts you can download at this link.
http://homepage.mac.com/aamann/Mail_Scripts.html
The script to use from the collection of scripts is Add Addresses (Mail) which adds addresses found in the selected messages (in the header fields "From", "To", "Cc", and "Bcc") to the Address Book. This is much more flexible than the "Add Sender to Address Book" available in Mail and provides a convenient way for creating mailing lists.

I see by your post that you would like to delete email addresses from the scanner list. I would like to help.
Print a configuration page to get the printer's IPv4 address. Printing a Network Configuration Page.
Access the Embedded Web Server for the printer. Type the IP address into your web browser's address bar.
Click on the Scan tab, Scan to email on the left side of the window, select Scan to address book.
Check the email that you would like to remove and click delete.

Have a nice day!

Export email addresses from Mail?

Is there any way to export email addresses from Mail into a CSV file? I know I can push it to Address Book then export but that mixes all the exports in with my existing addresses.

If you know SQL, you could export out of the previous recipients database file inside your user/Library/Application Support/AddressBook folder. It's a sqlite3 database.

HT204150 I linked my outlook express with icloud, not realizing it would change my outlook express contacts. I deleted email addresses from my iphone which in turn deleted them from my PC. Is there any way to get these addresses back?

I linked my outlook express with icloud, not realizing it would change my outlook express contacts. I deleted email addresses from my iphone, not wanting them there which in turn deleted them from my PC. Is there any way to get these addresses back? Seems I no longer have an outlook contacts list.

It's Outlook, not Outlook Express (different program) and if you have now deleted them from iCloud and do not have a backup they are gone.

Can't delete email messages from some folders in Mail

I CAN delete email messages from header Folder "MAILBOXES" (drafts, sent, trash); however, there's another folder header below called "ON MY MAC", where I save various emails by dragging them to a subfolder, and when I try to delete these, I get this message:
"The message '(subject of email)' could not be moved to the mailbox 'Deleted Messages --- On My Mac' The destination mailbox 'Deleted Messages --- On My Mac' does not allow messages to be moved to it."
The only way to delete from this folder is to hold Control, select from the dropdown Move to, then Trash, and then one of three sub-trash folders (the one that has my email address) -- this is a pain to do.
Mail is just not working properly any more (I just added 2 other posts - one about crashing, another about all my Fonts missing)
thank you in advance!

How can I remove old deleted email addresses from my 'To' choices field

When I input an email address in my email 'TO' box old deleted email addresses still appear as choices. Is there any way of deleting these old addresses permanently? Very annoying!

There is no way to delete the remembered email addresses in the mail app. Removing them from your Contacts has no bearing on how this affects the mail app. The only real way to delete those remembered addresses is to restore the iPad to factory settings. That is a pretty harsh workaround just to have the mail app forget some email addresses.
If you ignore those addresses, eventually they will go away, but it can take some time before that happens. There is nothing short of restoring to factory settings that you can do now to remove them.

How I can delete email addresses from I-photo 11?

Hello to every body.
I sent a photo from I-photo by the command "share.....by email". Now If I want to share another photo, I put in the email window, the first letter of email address, and it show me the preceeding addresses used to share the photo. In these used addresses there is a unwanted one and I want to delete it.
How I can do that?
Thank you very much.
marco

Greetings Marco,
Quit iPhoto if it is open
Remove the following file to the trash: Your User > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iPhoto.plist*
Re-open iPhoto
This will remove all saved email addresses from iPhoto's memory. Note: It will also restore the default location of the iPhoto Library if you moved it (hold down the option key and launch to choose the old location if you've moved it). It will also remove certain preferences such as your email accounts if they are not stored in the Mail program and Facebook / Flickr accounts.
Hope that helps!

Why Can't I slide email addresses from MAIL to ADDRESS BOOK :-(

Am I missing something?
Why can't I slide all the email addresses from an email to a group in my Address Boob. I am shocked that this is not easily possible.
Am I missing the easy way to do this?

In addition to the suggestions, [Mails Scripts|http://homepage.mac.com/aamann/Mail_Scripts.html] has an applescript that will collect all the addresses in an email and give you the option to select a subset and save to a group or make a new group.

HT1694 how do I remove an email address from Mail that is not in my contacts list?

I have and E-mail address that comes up when I start typing an address into Mail when I create a new E-mail and this particular E-mails address is not associated with any of my Contacts.
How can I remove this E-mail address so it no longer appears?
Apple iPhone 4S iOS 5.1
thank you
Dave

You're welcome.
If that email address is your Apple ID, I don't believe you can delete it.
If you have your cell phone number selected as your Caller ID, when sending an iMessage it will be sent from your phone number.
Since your Apple ID email address is registered as well, if someone has your email address in their contacts, they can select your email address to send you an iMessage in addition to your phone number.
When this recipient says you are sometimes sending an iMessage via email, it is received as an email with the Mail app on their iPhone, not with the Messages app?

Can I import email addresses from a contact group into a new email?

Import email addresses? I'm trying to send an electronic invitation to a group of about 50 people. I have to enter each of their email addresses, and rather than typing them one by one, I'm wondering if I can import all of their email addresses from a group I created in my Address Book. I'm sending the invitation through the company's website, nut my email, so the email address does not appear when I start typing their names. Thanks!

Open a new message and start typing the groups name in the 'To' field works for me. Some e-mail providers have limits on how many addressees can be in one e-mail.

A work flow to extract email address from mail

Can anyone help me. I have a bunch of emails that contain text information including an email address. I want a Automator workflow that will extract the email addresses from the emails and then save them as a comma separated text file.

Hi,
Try this workflow:
1) Get Selected Mail Items
2) Run AppleScript
In the "Run AppleScript", paste the following in:
on run {input, parameters}
set the output to {}
repeat with i from 1 to count of the input
set theMessage to item i of the input
set theContent to ""
tell application "Mail"
set theContent to the content of theMessage
end tell
if theContent is not equal to "" then
set output to (output & theContent)
end if
end repeat
return output
end run
3) Run Shell Script
In "Run Shell Script", select "/usr/bin/perl" in the shell popup and "to stdin" in the pass input popup. Then paste the following in:
$input = join("", );
@emails = ($input =~ /\b[A-Z0-9._%-]@[A-Z0-9.-]\.[A-Z]{2,4}\b/ig);
while( @emails > 1 ) {
print shift(@emails) . ", ";
print @emails[0];
4) New TextEdit Document
If you select the mail messages that have the email information in them, then you can run the workflow and hopefully it does the right thing.
Hope it helps!

I want to copy the name with email address from Mail like I could before Mavericks

Hi There
I have resisted upgrading to Mavericks for all this time because Mavericks now stops the name of the contact being copied when I copy the email address from the sender. What is now copied is: '[email protected]'
What I want and what it used to be before Mavericks is: 'Dave Garnish <[email protected]>'
I know it sounds petty but it has stopped me upgrading for all this time, but now I need 4k monitor support.
Thanks in advance anyone who may have the answer to this.
Best
Dave

The following Terminal command used to enable the use of the name along with the email address:
defaults write com.apple.mail AddressesIncludeNameOnPasteboard -bool YES
(Change YES to NO to undo the change.)
I don't know if it still works.
You can also affect this feature in the mail message via Mail, Preferences, Use Smart Addresses. When unchecked the sender's address gets the name and angle bracket thing.
