Clear cached email addresses from an iphone

Has a solution been found which will allow clearing the cached email address entries on an iproduct? Deleting contacts, addresses and rebooting the device doesn't work. Restoring the device should not be the only solution as many business users don't know the first thing about iTunes or syncing thus most enterprise devices have never been sync'd. Thank to anyone with some help

No, there is no other way to delete them. Sorry.

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.

How can I delete unwanted/inaccurate email addresses from the iPhone cache?

How can I delete old / unwanted / inaccurate email addresses from the "suggestions cache" that keep popping up the moment I type in the first letter in on a fresh email address box?
This is driving me mad! The London Store Apple Genius can only suggest either deleting my email account and then recreating it or totally reseting the iPhone to the original factory settings and then resynching it to my MacBook Pro to get everything back into the iPhone. However, he's not sure that this cache is not stored on the MacBook Pro during synching somewhere so I may well end up where I started! Allan Sampson answered my last "Help" topic, so I'm hoping he can beat the Apple Store Genius again!
Over to the Forum and Allan.

Hi Kelvin and everyone with the same problem.
This used to be me and the painful solution ( for PC users ) is:
Buy a Mac!
Everything "talks" to each other and it all interfaces fine with the business world.
Once you've adjusted to the ( much better ) Mac "culture" it all becomes clear and the
backup service and advice is second to none. Not only that, everything works!
Hope this helps......

How do I clear the email addresses from Mail memory auto-fill?

I am constantly getting emails back from people I didn't mean to email, thanks to the auto-fill option in my email. I don't mind mail remembering the people in my address book, but not EVERYONE I've ever sent or received an email from. Does anyone know how to clear the cache in my mail memory?

I just got an iphone recently and I started my apple id using my gmail email address. I decided to change email from gmail to icloud so I setup an icloud email account and now I have two apple id accounts. All my primary information is in the gmail apple id account and i just want to merge the two together. I've tried changing the apple id on the main account to the icloud email, but it says it already exists. How can I merge these two accounts without deleting one or the other?
Thanks

You can't merge iCloud accounts.
You could move all your calendars contacts etc over from the account you don't want to the one you do, it's not simple but about all I can suggest.

How to remove previously used email addresses from iphone?

After having his email account hacked, a friend gave me his new email address.
I have updated his contact information, BUT
everytime I write an email, or a text or a message, the old email address keeps coming up
as the first choice of my iPhone and iPad.
How do I remove the previous email address from my iPhone or iPad?
Regards

The ONLY way, currently, to remove this data from an iOS device is to restore the device as "new" in iTunes, NOT from backup. This will, of course, erase all data on the device, including this contact data. You either do that, or you live with it.

Delete a incorrect email address from Email history

I accidentally entered an incorrect address email into my 3G S. I sent an email to that address and now it shows in my history.
When i go to send an email to anyone who's name begins with "S" the incorrect address is there at the top of the list. Every other address has the "type" of address, i.e home, work next to it but the incorrect address does not, it just has the email address.
How do i delete either the incorrect address off my phone, please note that it is not anywhere else on my phone, it is not in her "contact info" or how do i clear the "sent email" history?
I have restored the "factory settings" and also done the "press the home key and off button until the phone switches off" trick. Nothing has worked
Please someone help me as it is driving me CRAZY!

The Mail app on the iPhone/iPod Touch does have an option to clear previous recipients. The only way to remove these cached email addresses from the Mail application is restoring the iPhone/iPod Touch as a new phone/iPod. If you restore from backup, the cache is also restored.

Deleting old email addresses from iPhone memory

I recently changed email addresses. When I want to send a text or email, the auto complete function in my iPhone brings up my old email address. How do I delete the old email address?

The iPhone caches contact lists and data for all the people it has ever e-mailed, received e-mail from, or seen as a contact. There is no way to clear that unfortunately. You could always try going to settings > general > reset > reset all settings, but I don't think that it will clear this.
In order to completely wipe my previously e-mailed list, I had to restore my phone.

How to extract email address from Outlook friendly name cache

Hi guys,
A while ago, somebody wrote a little VBA utility to help us to log CRM events. Whenever a user sends an email to a customer, it logs the fact in our CRM database. This is the programmatic process:
1. Grab the email address from ActiveInspector.CurrentItem.To
2. If it's a valid email address, all well and good. Proceed to Step 8.
3. If not a valid email address (it must be a friendly name, perhaps located in Exchange), look for the address in:
ActiveInspector.CurrentItem.Recipients.Item(1).AddressEntry.GetExchangeUser.PrimarySmtpAddress
4. If it's a valid email address, all well and good. Proceed to Step 8.
5. If not a valid email address (it must be in the user's Contact list), look for the address in:
ActiveInspector.CurrentItem.Recipients.Item(1).AddressEntry.GetContact.Email1Address
6. If it's a valid email address, all well and good. Proceed to Step 8.
7. If not a valid email address, then crash!!! <<------------------------------------------------- Here's where I'm stuck!
8. Get the CustomerID from the CRM, based on email address.
9. Do a bunch of other stuff (for example, send the email, and log the event in the CRM).
I'm a former Access MVP, and am highly experienced with VBA, but my forte is clearly not Outlook. What I'd like to do is find the email address by looking in the local cache, and make sure I get the actual email address rather than the friendly name.
I'm not sure if 'local cache' is the right word; I know Outlook stores frequently used email address in some sort of cache, even if the user has not explicitly stored it as a Contact. I just don't know how to find it. Can anyone point me in the right
direction, maybe with a method name?
Also, while mucking about with it, I found the following. Would it be useful in this scenario?
ActiveInspector.CurrentItem.Recipients.Item(1).AddressEntry.GetExchangeDistributionList
Many thanks,
Graham R Seach

Hi Graham,
This might help you to figure things out a bit.
The contact cache you are looking for is called the nickname cache, also known as the "autocomplete stream."
The nickname files (.nk2) used by older versions of Outlook (2007 and below).
Outlook 2010 and 2013 does not use the NK2 file; it stores the autocomplete cache in the mailbox or data file and caches the addresses in an autocomplete stream at C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\RoamCache. The cache is stored in a file
named Stream_Autocomplete_0_[long GUID].dat.
For applications that interact with Outlook 2010 or Outlook 2013, the autocomplete stream is stored as a MAPI property and can be modified using the MAPI or the
PropertyAccessor object of the message. The PropertyAccessor object is exposed in the Outlook 2010 or Outlook 2013 object models.
Outlook 2010 or Outlook 2013 reads the autocomplete stream from a message in the Associated Contents table of the Inbox of the mail account’s delivery store. This hidden message has a message class and subject of IPM.Configuration.Autocomplete. The autocomplete
stream is stored on this message in the PR_ROAMING_BINARYSTREAM property (PidTagRoamingBinary Canonical Property).

How do I delete stored email addresses in my iphone? When sending photos, I don't want to have certain email addresses "popping up" from the internal memory, I've deleted my entire "Contact" list but they still appear. Help please!

How do I delete stored email addresses in my iphone? When sending photos, I don't want to have certain email addresses "popping up" from the internal memory, I've deleted my entire "Contact" list but they still appear. Help please!

As with the Mail app on a Mac, the iPhone's Mail app stores all email recipients in a list of previous recipients which is separate from the address book or contacts. The email address autofill feature when addressing an message pulls from Contacts and from the list of previous recipients.
Different from the Mail app on a Mac, there is no access to the list of previous recipients with iOS on an iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad to remove a previous recipient from the list, or to add a previous recipient to the address book or contacts that is not already entered - not at the present time anyway.
The only way to purge the list of previous recipients at the present time is by restoring your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup, which will start being re-populated again with every sent message.

Changing outgoing email address from iphone

I currently have my MobileMe account set up on my iphone, and it is using my MobileMe ID as my email address <Edited by Host>. However I would like to set it up with my alias<Edited by Host>. Is there a way to change this setting on the phone? I know I can change the outgoing email address from mail on my computer, but I don't see that function on my iphone.
Thanks

You can set up MobileMe to use any email address as a 'push' email on the iPhone. The first thing you need to do is set your non-MobileMe (.Mac) email address for auto-forward to your MobileMe (.Mac) account.
When you create the email account, make sure you set it up as Other (not as a .Mac or MobileMe account.) Then select IMAP as the type of account. Enter the name and auto-forwarded email address. (This is the email address that will show as the "From" email, even though you're using your MobileMe account.)
For your mail server settings, use your MobileMe settings:
* Incoming settings:
o Host Name: mail.mac.com
o User Name: MobileMe user name
o Password: MobileMe password
* Outgoing Settings:
o Host Name: smtp.mac.com
o User Name: MobileMe user name
o Password: MobileMe password
* Advanced:
o Use SSL - On
o Authentication - Password
o Server Port - 587
Now you're able to receive 'push' email from your non-MobileMe account, and reply without using the @me.com address. (You can use those same settings in the Mail App as well.)

HT2486 HOw do I transfer contact numbers and email address from my Mac to my new iphone?

How do I transfer contact numbers and email address from my Mac to my new iphone?

Connect your iPhone 4S to your Mac using the iPhone’s USB cable, and then use iTunes to transfer your contacts from to the iPhone. (An alternate way is to use iCloud.)
I’m not sure what you mean by “transferring email address” from the Mac to the iPhone. But if you mean you want to access your email from the Mac and the iPhone, the best way is to configure your email account over IMAP in Mail on both devices.
