Cannot auto complete email addresses on ipad

recently have been unable to autocomplete email address on ipad 2 when sending emails. anyway to correct this?

I read the above advice and followed it to allow changes, but still cannot find how to add any additional email accounts. Doesn't even appear to be an option! Every time I select 'Mail' in settings, it all just reverts to the front screen and exits settings completely. Inherited this iPad and have just updated it to ios5...will this have affected anything?

  • How can I get back Mail Auto-Complete email addresses?

    After upgrading to Mountain Lion, my Mail no longer works with the auto-complete of email address.
    My Contacts.app works fine, it just seems that Mail is no longer able to 'read' from my Contacts.
    I use iCloud and everything was great for years.  Mail preferences is set to Auto-Complete email address from my Contacts.
    Not sure how the problem started, but I launched Mail on a 2nd computer  - on the same iCloud.
    Shortly after I did that, my 1st Mac no longer auto-completes email.  I'm unsure if that is what set off the problem.
    Also, I 'did' read Tom Nelson's article which did not work since it's not an 'alias' problem:
    http://macs.about.com/od/MacTroubleshootingTips/qt/What-To-Do-When-Mountain-Lion -Mail-Fails-To-Auto-Complete-Email-Addresses.htm
    Also, there doesn't appear to be a com.apple.mail.plist preferences file I can even delete in Mountain Lion.
    I use Dropbox, but have never it to sync Addresses, Calendar, etc.
    Any help greatly appreciated!

    I had the same issue. After reading this solution I started poking around in the Container folder and found that there was a symlink for AddressBook that was messed up which was causing the problem. In ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Application Support I ran:
    $ cd ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Application\ Support
    $ ls -lh
    AddressBook -> ??/???7??ʪ?????VT???;??\G[?:??:??????T?_Ү??
    CrashReporter
    Mail
    SyncServices -> ../../../../../Application Support/SyncServices
    iCloud -> ../../../../../Application Support/iCloud
    Seeing the aliases for SyncServices and iCloud, I guessed correctly that I just needed to recreate the AddressBook alias to point to the right place. So I just removed the alias for AddressBook, recreated it, restarted Mail, and it worked perfectly. (Note: I did the following to remove the alias, and recreate it. You should confirm what you are removing is an alias. You should also always make sure you have a backup.)
    $ cd ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Application\ Support
    $ rm AddressBook
    $ ln -s ../../../../../Application\ Support/AddressBook AddressBook
    Obviously, DrewSchatt's  original solution to this works as well, but this way you don't have to delete the whole folder, resetting your preferences and possibly delete something else important (only recreating the alias, not deleting any files or data).

  • Passport does not auto complete email addresses

    when typing email address, the old BB used to suggest and auto complete email addresses.  Now when i start typing an email address it shows a button "LOOK UP ..." then it shows the list of possible matches once i press the button.  what do i need to change to make it do matches automatically without the need for the button push.
    I have seen alot of people complain about this but no solution.

    Auto complete and the suggestion are two separte functions.
    With the contacts in my contacts app there is no issue with me doing either.
    Possible you have the email address in a different contact field?

    Where does Mail keep its hidden cache of auto-complete email addresses.  I am plagued with an incorrect email address I can't get rid of.  Have made sure it's deleted from Contacts and made sure it's deleted from "Previous Recipients" list in Mail.  But it still keeps reappearing ... obviously a secret cache file hidden somewhere?

    Autocomplete has nothing to do with this problem.
    From the Mail menu bar, select
              Window ▹ Connection Doctor
    Look for a disused SMTP (outgoing mail) account in the window that opens. Double-click it. Another window will open, showing a list of all the outgoing mail accounts. The unwanted one will be selected. Click the minus-sign button to delete it, then click OK.
    If there's more than one unwanted account, repeat.

  • Delete only 1 Auto-Complete email address for everyone's email accounts - perhaps via Exchange 2010 or Group Policy?

    Hello
    I have an exchange 2010 server and clients use outlook 2007 or 2010 for emails.
    I recently deleted an account with the Exchange 2010 server and created another with the same name but a different address.
    Now people can't send mail to this new email address because it's cached on their outlook profiles... but it does work after they cleared the cache and send their requests then.
    Is there a way that I can clear this one email address from everyone's cached auto-complete list on exhcange or via Group Policy so that it works for all of them? I don't want to clear all of their auto-complete lists.
    Thanks,

    As far as I know, there isn't any way to clear only one auto-complete cache from Exchange side or Group policy.
    Thanks,

    And what happened when you tried? And please don't say it didn't work, we know that. Describe what happens when you "try" to change the password. Are the settings greyed out and therefore, you can't change anything? Can you send emails? You said you can't "get" emails so i interpret that to mean that you can't receive them.
    Did you try quitting the settings app, reboot theniPad and then "try" again to see if that will allow you to change the setting?
    Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the settings icon. Tap the home button twice,
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    You don't have Restrictions set that would prevent you from changing the password in Settings>General>Restrictions>Allow Chamges>Accounts.

  • I cannot send an email from my iPad 2? No problem receiving, why does this happen? Have tried the suggestions for setting up email and after doing the sync mail through iTunes receiving worked great but still cannot send? Any help would be great

    I cannot send an email from my iPad 2? No problem receiving, why does this happen? Have tried the suggestions for setting up email and after doing the sync mail through iTunes receiving worked great but still cannot send? Any help would be great!

    The fact that you can receive means you have a valid e mail address, and have established the connection to the incoming server, so all of that works.  Since the send does not work, that means your outgoing server is rejecting whatever settings you used formthe outgoing set up.  Try them again. 
    Google your particular isp, and ipad and many times you will find the exact settings needed for your isp.  Or tell us here, and soneone else may be on the same isp.  Some mail services need you to change a port, or have a unique name for the outgoing server.  
    Kep trying.

  • I cannot access my emails on my ipad,

    I cannot access my emails on my ipad, even though all data is entered correctly. Message still appears..... the mail server pop.orangehome.co.uk is not responding. Verify that you have entered the correct account info into Mail settings. I have!!!!

    However according the description I have posted in my previous reply you should be setting POP
    Orange Home
    tap Settings
    tap on Mail, Contacts, Calendars
    tap Add Account
    tap other
    tap Add Mail Account
    enter your account information and then tap save
    please note: that the username is everything after the @ in the customers emails address
    on the next page displayed you must type in the settings as shown for Incoming host name, Username, and Outgoing Host Name Make sure that at the top of the page POP is highlighted blue, then tap save the iPhone will then attempt to verify the POP account information
    as standard the iPhone will attempt to set up the email account using SSL security Orange home email doesn't use this so the iPhone will prompt you with this message tap yes to set up without SSL
    please be patient as it may take a few minuets for the iPhone to get to this point
    the iPhone will then attempt to verify the POP account information again
    In some circumstances the iPhone may ask you if you wish to connect without using SSL again Simply tap yes to continue Again please be patient as this process may take a while
    the iPhone will then attempt to verify the POP account information again
    once the iPhone has verified the POP settings it will briefly tick all of the information fields
    then you should be able to see the account at the top of the screen and email should be ready to use
    you now need to change the port number to 25 tap on the newly created account as shown above
    tap on the SMTP under the Outgoing Mail Server
    tap on the box under the Primary Server
    the Server Port number needs to be changed to 25 as shown above tap on the Server Port to change this
    If the email still doesn't send, press the home button and the on/off button together to reset

  • Why does aol not auto enter email addresses when I compose an email?

    why does aol not auto enter email addresses when I compose an email?

    what a ridiculous decision to change from "starts with" to "contains".
    I have a further problem - having selected the address I want from the umpteen options pulled from my address book, I then press enter to add another line for another address.....and the first address I selected changes to a completely different address!
    And also addresses from the address book which previously appeared only in black now randomly appear in red.
    help please!

    How can I change it when I cannot view it on my account. I am not even sure how this got setup.

    If you mean your rescue email address, it's in the Passwords and Security section, after you answer the two security questions.
