Contact in Mail app, doesn't show up on Contacts

I have one email address contact, with name, that shows up in Mail. When I go to the TO: box, and type in the first letter of that person's name, they show up, with their email address. When I go to my contacts, that person is not listed whatsoever. They are also not a contact in my address book, nor do I synch my Yahoo or google address books.
My problem is, I want to delete this person out of my iphone, but I cannot. I can't find any way to edit the "TO:" contact list, and since they aren't in my Phone Contacts list, I don't know where to go to edit, or delete this one email.
I also recently restored my iPhone, and re-synched but the person is still in there.

All email recipients are stored in a list of previous recipients that is used for the autofill feature when addressing a message in addition to the address book. The Mail.app on a Mac includes the same along with an option to access the list of previous recipients. You can add a previous recipient to the Address Book that is not already entered, or remove a previous recipient from the list.
Access to the list of previous recipients with the iPhone's mail client is not available - at the present time anyway.
If you restored your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup, this data is included with your iPhone's backup.
To get rid of what is currently in the list of previous recipients at the present time requires restoring your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup. Relatively big price to pay regarding something that shouldn't be extremely difficult to ignore - at least until access to the list of previous recipients is supported.

  • After Mavericks upgrade, Mail.app doesn't show messages in Sent Items

    I upgraded to Mavericks this morning and Mail.app is not displaying messages in the Sent folder.
    I have 2 Gmail accounts set up and the messages are present in the All Mail folder but they're not displayed in Sent. They were definitely there before the upgrade.
    Has anyone else seen this happen ? I have TM backups that I can get to but I tried restoring the folder for the account with little success.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Cheers

  • News feed on my Facebook app doesn't show the correct time. Can the time be set?

    News feed on my Facebook app doesn't show the correct time.  Can the time be set?

    Does your phone show the correct time?
    If not, change the time on your phone, see if it helps.
    If it does, then sign out, sign back in. If that fails, the delete and reinstall. If that fails, then contact Facebook, as they're the developers of the app and will have the proper documentation to help you further.

  • Mail app doesn't launch

    my mail app doesn't launch
    using Lion

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

  • Mail app is not showing new Hotmail emails

    Hi everyone:
    I'm not sure what to blame here -- Hotmail or this upcoming iOS7 release. Let me explain. Since long ago I set up several Hotmail email accounts on my iPad 2 in the built-in mail app. Everything used to work great but since recently the mail app doesn't seem to update automatically if I have new emails. Only when I open up the mail app and manually drag the list of emails down to fresh it, only then it loads them up -- something like a dozen at a time. This is a fairly recent thing. It'd be nice if it was loading them up as they come -- like it used to do.
    Any idea what's going on there?
    PS. I tried force-closing the mail app, as well as rebooting the iPad. It didn't help.
    PS2. I have not installed or changed anything on that iPad for a long time -- only the updates that come out in the App Store.

    You dont happen to have any other accounts to see if it is just hotmail do you? Lets try turn off/on push, setting > mail, contacts, calendars and delete account and readd again, and lastly setting > general > reset > reset network setting (it will take off your wifi passwords/cellular info/vpns).

  • My weather app doesn't show the feels like temp or wind, etc.  How can I fix this?  I am running iOS 8.1.2

    My weather app doesn't show the feels like temp or wind, etc.  How can I fix this?  I am running iOS 8.1.2.

    is that really what it is?  this is the native iphone weather app.  the funny part is that when i use the actual weather channel app, it does provide it.
    is this an api issue with the weather channel and the iphone then?  i guess there's no fix?
    thanks for your help by the way.

  • IPhoto app doesn't show any photos from my photos app

    I just upgraded my new iPad to iOS 6 beta. Maybe that's the problem but suddenly my iPhoto app doesn't show any photos at all. All the tabs (albums, photos, events, etc) are empty.  When I open the app it says "updating photo library" briefly, but that's it. I tried rebooting, deleting the app and reinstalling it, basically everything I could.  Is this a known iOs6 bug?

    Ok, I have the release and I have the issue, photos are just boxes w no pictures, is there a way to remove library and reload? The photo app works fine and all pictures are there.

  • Does anyone know how to get the notification screen in iOS 7 to show the weather?  Not showing on my phone, and the weather app doesn't show in the notification dialog.

    I am not seeing the weather in the notifications for 'today'.  The weather app doesn't show up in the notifications dialog either.  What to do?

    Pappasbike wrote:
    First make sure that Weather is listed in Notification Center, mine is a the very end of the list. If it's not go below to the Do Not Include list and see if it's there. If it is manually turn it on to appear in the main list.
    Now when I swipe down from the home screen I get the date and any Today events, and below that a weather forecast stating the high and low for the day. If none of that is showing try shutting down and restarting your phone and see if that appears also make sure the Weather app is on one of your home screens, launch it from there and that alone may set everything up.
    The weather app is just not listed.  I did a soft reset, no improvement.  I'm at a loss for anything else to try.  Since the app is a system app, I can't delete and reload it.
    This is hardly an earthshattering problem, but it bugs me.

  • Our app doesn't show in some regions. Any ideas why?

    Hello.
    Our recently published Windows Phone app doesn't show in some regions.
    The app is free. During the publishing I have selected "Distribute to all markets at the base tier".
    But I can't see the app in Lithuanian, Latvian or Russian Windows Phone store. Any ideas why?
    It is visible in other stores - USA, Germany, Poland, Spain, Belgium...
    App name is "Kinetic Puzzle - Animals". Below are a few examples:
    Visible:

    Not visible:

    Any ideas why? We have spent half of a day trying to find where is the problem, but with no luck. Any help highly appreciated.

    Though its there, just not visible in search , try these : 
    For Russian marketplace :

    You can obviously raise the issue on Windows Phone app store support.

  • Mail app doesn't work

    Mail app doesn't work after Yosemite OSX upgrade. At first it didn't check email and now it doesn't boot. I tried many times, but nothing happens

    Ok after nearly going crazy I read something about someone having a problem with a program related to fonts not being installed. I started up font book and now my problem is miraculously resolved... This is good and bad. I don't know why having font book running would resolve my problem or know what font is causing the programs not to work. As far as I know I didn't disable any system fonts. And the problem doesn't happen when font book is running, which is confusing me.

  • HT4796 "Mail Accounts" doesn't show up as option to choose to migrate from XP

    I am attempting to migrate files from a WinXP computer to a Mac Mini running Mountain Lion. Almost all files transferred successfully, but it doesn't appear that the Outlook email transferred. In fact "Mail Accounts" doesn't show up as an option to choose in the migration screen. I have done the migration successfully to three other computers, but they were running Lion. Any ideas?

    Try rebooting the device. It should be in Settings right under General. You may need to go to Settings<General<Reset<Reset All Settings (don't erase data) and setup as a new device. The iCloud login should appear during this step. Just keep setting it up, then go back to settings and see if the iCloud tab appears.

    You need to create HTML signatures for use with the Apple Mail apps. You can't just throw in a logo, it has to be stored on the internet and it's location coded into your signature. You may find a service and an app that helps you do that in the iTunes App Store.

  • Is there a way to make Mail app badge to show the count of unread mail for only certain account?

    The mail app badge normally shows the total count of unread emails in all your accounts.  Is there a way to set it so that it only displays the count from one specific mail account?

    No.
