Can you delete "suggested" email addresses?

For some reason, my iPad has memorized some email addresses I don't which to have populated in the drop-down suggested email addresses (i.e. in the address field in mail, when I start typing Smi... I get 3 Smiths even though only one is in my address book.
I've checked on my Mac (to which the iPad is synced) and the unwanted Smiths are no where to be found -- not in my Address Book. Also on my Mac in Mail I've clicked on Window>previous recipients and made sure the unwanted addresses aren't there either. (Also on my Mac these unwanted Smiths do not show up as suggestions the way they do on my 'pad).
On the iPad I can't determine any way to delete them. Any ideas?

As with the Mail.app on your Mac, the iPad's Mail application stores all message recipients in a previous recipients list. The auto-fill feature when addressing a message draws from the address book and from the list of previous recipients. Different from the Mail.app on your Mac, there is not a way to access the list of previous recipients with the iPad's Mail application to add a previous recipient to the address book if not already entered, or remove a previous recipient from the list - not at the present time anyway.
Although the list of previous recipients is included with the backup that is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process, the list of previous recipients is not synced with the list of previous recipients with the Mail.app on your Mac.
The same applies with the iPhone and the iPad Touch at the present time. Hopefully this will be included with firmware update 4.0.

Can you use multiple email addresses on the Microsoft OWA App?

You can do it but there is a delay from the bluetooth speaker. You'll need an iphone or ipad using the Apple app "Control", airplay setup, bluetooth speaker, and an Apple laptop or desktop.
I used my laptop to connect to my bluetooth speaker so that sound streams to my bluetooth device. Then, on my iphone I opened Control and connect the music to my airplay and my laptop at the same time. The music goes to your airplay speaker, and then to my laptop which then blue tooths it to my speaker. But, as I said the bluetooth takes an extra step to stream it and so the music is not in sync. Its like a second and a half delay....

How can I delete an email-address from an old Apple ID-account?

I need to delete an email-address from an old Apple ID-account, but the Apple ID seems to be deleted (but not by myself), to use it as a validated mail-address for communicating via iMessage from my new Apple ID.
I already tried 'Find my Apple ID'.

but the Apple ID seems to be deleted (but not by myself), to use it as a validated mail-address for communicating via iMessage from my new Apple ID.
If that AüpleID has been disabled for security reasons, you may not be able to access it. Then you need to give Apple Support a call: only they will be able to help you. See this webpage on how to contact Apple Support in your country: There are either telephone numbers given or an email form:
Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security
Explain, that you need help with an account security problem.
You can also try to email the iTunes Support using this form:https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html

Can you change the email address to where your Bro...

Hello.
My BT Broadband account BT Internet emaill address is a different email address to my everyday BT Internet email address that I use to send from and receive emails in.
I don't send emails at all from my BT Broadband account email address.
Therefore when my BT Broadband Usage goes over 6GB and then 8GB, I am not aware of it unless I log into my BT.com account and check or log into my BT Broadband account btinternet.com email address as the advisory emails go into that address which I don't use for emailing from.
Is there any way I can have these advisory emails sent to my everyday BT Internet email address instead? Or even continue to be sent there and my main email address? Either by being able to do anything online or by contacting BT by phone or email and have them do it?
I did actually contact BT once before by emailing them and someone in India phoned me back to say they will do that for me but they've not done anything at all for me and the advisory emails still continue to go into my BT Broadband email address instead.
Could anyone tell me if switching the email address or adding an email address as to where these BT Broadband Usage emails are sent to is possible?
Hope it is and that you can tell me how this can be done with any helpful link or contact address/number without speaking to anyone in India.
Thanks.

Hi, I have the same problem, except that the advisory emails are being sent to a completely new email address which I never set up and which I can't access or login to. I didn't know about this until a bill arrived with a £5 charge for excess broadband usage, but I didn't know how to check it until now. I have now received an email (to my correct address) saying "Keep an eye on your usage" which has a link to an online monitor and to my horror I see that my usage has been well over the cap for some months. Yet I never received the advisory emails because I had no idea they were being sent to the unknown address. How can BT invent an email address and then use it to warn me? More to the point, how do I change that email address? I can't login to it because I don't know the password!
Any advice would be gratefully received.
Tony.

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

How can you edit the Email Address field in Mail without deleting the account?

I have a few accounts and the email address domain of my work account has changed but it seems to be one of the fields you cannot change.
On my iPhone it was simple ... you can just edit the field and it works.
My Email comes in fine but mail auto selects accounts based on the domain of who you are emailing and now that it has changed its not doing that anymore.

If you're running iOS 6, to change your iCloud ID go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID. This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.
To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll (if not already there) before deleting the account. To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.

How can you delete old mail addresses?

When sending an email (with iPhone 4, iOS5, Gmail) and you are starting to type the recipient's name at the "To:" field, the autofill function suggests addresses some of which are dated / no longer valid / unwanted ones, from previous recipients.
How on earth can I delete such adresses???!!!
They drive me crazy!
Thank you.

Thank you, Chris.
Now, as I do not wish to restore the phone as new, if I try my luck and "Reset All Settings" can you please tell me which Settings will be affected? What sort of information / data / will I lose? For example, will the phone "look" the same? I guess I am actually asking you what are "Settings"...
Dammit - I am such an iPhone newbbie...
I appreciate your help.

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.

1) You asked "Does she need to reconnect to that itunes/computer and if so what do we need to do to remove this folder of pics from her ipod?" Yes, you have to connect the iPod to that computer and go to the Photos pane for the iPod in iTunes and uncheck sync photos and the click on synce/apply. In the future do not check sync photos.
iOS and iPod: Syncing photos using iTunes
2)
Create a NEW account for using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
Then on the iPod go to
- Settings>Messages>Send and receive and sign out your ID and sign into hers. Make sure that only her ID email address is listed.

How can I delete my email address (apple id) of my sons ipod so I can use it on my ipad.

My son has an ipod which I set up using my email address as his apple id. I have just bought an ipad and I am trying to set it up but it says email address in use!
I have since deleted my email of my son's ipod and created his own email (apple id) and that all works ok , I've looked at his account and it show's his email etc etc and mine's not there. But my ipad / apple online still say's that my email is in use! Why?

You should be able to use your Apple ID to set up and use a number of iDevices, so I'm not sure why you are getting this message. I have six different iDevices set up using my one and only Apple ID email address.
Exactly where are you getting this message on the iPad? ... in iTunes, the App Store, iCloud????
