Correcting bad email address

When I signed up for cellular data service, I mis-typed my email address. Called AT&T, and they corrected the email address, but my iPad still wants to use the wrong one. It will not let me use the correct the email address--always reverts to the bad one--so I cannot view my account. Any ideas?

what I've read:
1. go to - settings/ general/keyboard/international and then add keyboard pick "Chinese pinyin"
- after you have added it get out of settings go back in through to the keyboard and you can add words. In this case your email
2. Open safari - pretend your email is [email protected] - in safari do a search for fringa (it will autocorrect to fringe) cancel X the auto correct do the search for fringa. That's it, apparently it'll "take"
3. Make sure in settings/mail all the info on your email account is correct, put your email address into you contacts and enable auto-fill w/ your info

MSEXchange not rejecting bad email addresses

I have written a specialized email application In ACCES 2010 for my department. At first I couldn't send email outside our domain so the server folks turned on relay and gave me a static IP address. However, now the mail server does not reject bad email
addresses unless I leave off everything to the right of the @ sign. Example my real address is
[email protected]. But if I change something in the address, such as
[email protected] I don't get an error message back from the mail server, error handling is ignored and it counts as being sent. This is true for emails going both inside and outside the domain.
It seems to me that something needs to be configured on the host, or I need to do something in my ap. (I'm no expert here.) The Send part of the code is an ACCESS 2010 function. (Mail server is MSExchange 2010.) If nothing is wrong it works great.

Hi,
Generally, when you send an email to an address that doesn't exist via OWA or Outlook, you will receive a NDR explaining that delivery has failed.
Please disable the app temporarily and check the result. If the issue disappears, there is something wrong with the app code. Actually, we have a dedicated support team regarding the Microsoft Office for Developers. I recommend you ask your question on our
Microsoft Office for Developers forum which is staffed by more experts specializing in this kind of problems. For your convenience:

How to distingush delivery failure notices & bad email addresses

Hello, All:
Is there a standard for the format(content, subject, headers, etc) of delivery failure notices?
What would you do if you want to get the bad email address (Undelivery address) from the delivery failure notice? Is there a systematic way to get the bad email address instead of earching for the address string in the email?
Thanks in advance!

Hi, the exception SendFailedException only happens when any of the recipient addresses is detected to be invalid by the "Transport" during message submission. It is not exactly the same as the user email does not exists.
I have tried the SendFailedException and functions you suggested. The transport does not give this exception even though the recipent's address is not valid :(..
I think the JavaMail code passes the email message to the SMTP server, the SMTP deals with the actually sending. Therefore, JavaMail code can not get its hand on the invalid email addresses.
Thanks!

How do I correct my email address in icloud on my itouchr?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If that's the iCloud email address that you mean, it cannot be changed. You would need to create an alias instead.

How do i erase a bad email address from mail?

Hello,
I once miss typed an email address in mail and it haunts me everyday. If I type the first three letters of the persons name, which is my habit, the bad address is attached to the mail. The result is that I get a server error when i try to send the mail. Then I have to save it as a draft in order to change the address to the correct one by typing fewer of more letters of the recipients first name. I would save myself allot of frustration if I knew where mail stores address shortcuts.
Thanks very much

Start by making a new message. Now type in the start of the mistake. When you see the mistake allow it to be put in the To: line. It should appear as a normal address with the little blue button around it. Now right click on the address and pick the choice *Remove From Previous Recipients List*. This should clear that mistake out. I just tried it and it worked for me.

Not being notified of bad email addresses or non delivery

I recently changed my email to a mac account from a outlook address. I sent out a number of bulk notifications with 30+ addresses. I suspect that some of the email addressed are not good but I have not been notified of any failures due to bad addresses. As a test I sent an email with only 3 addresses, all bad, and all were returned.
As such, I don't know if there a problem with bulk email not been sent or with return notifications.
Please hep. Thanks

Correct misspelled email address on iphone

During setup of my iphone 5C, I misspelled my email address on the phone. The email address in my appleID account is correct, but not on the phone or iCloud account. How do I correct this on my phone and icloud account?

Contact AT&T and ask them how to setup their e-mail on any device (computer, iPhone). They should give you instructions on how to set it up with POP, IMAP, etc. etc..

My correct contact email address is not being used...

I do not use, and do wish to use, my allocated BTInternet email address and I have my normal Gmail address set up for my BT contact. As a result I have the BTInternet address set up to permanently forward emails to the Gmail account.
Despite my contact address being set to Gmail, I keep getting mails signed by Warren Buckley which are coming via the forwarding route from BTIinternet.
The latest one heralds a problem. It is telling me that, because of a change in the T&Cs, the BTInternet account will be closed if I do not actively access it every 150 days. That is in addition to the fact that I recently had an email telling me that I must set up some new way of using the BTInternet account which, as I do not use the BTInternet account, I have no interest in doing.
If this goes ahead I will, after 150 days, not receive any information emails from BT as I will have no account for WB's minions to send them to.
I have submitted a communication about this under a "Technical help - Email or security software [Incident:130427-002xxx]" reference. However, is there anything else I could do to get this anomoly corrected and emails sent to my real contact address at Gmail?

Thank you for that. I had not seen any other postings on the topic as I was unsure where to post this and I had used the wrong forum section and one of the mods has moved it here.
The email I got never actually mentioned forwarding as a method of retention, so I hope you are correct.
What the email said was:
How to keep your BT email
Make sure you use your email at least once every 150 days by logging on at bt.yahoo.com, using your computer email software (like Microsoft Outlook or Mozilla Thunderbird) or checking your email on your smartphone. If you don't, we'll close the account and delete everything that goes with it - including your emails, contacts, calendar and notes.
Edit: I have now delved ito the T&Cs and I see the reference there.

I want to correct my email address for yahoo mail

Yahoo mail email address is incorrect...how do I change it???

The instructions to do so are provided in the article you asked this question from, but require correctly answering two of the security questions. If you can't do that, you need to ask Apple to reset the questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.

How to correct bad PAB addresses that route through old GWIA

Old system was GW 7.x on NetWare 6.5 servers.
New system is GW 8.0.2HP2 on Windows 2008 servers.
We moved to new hardware, etc. when we upgraded to GW 8. It's time to turn off the old GWIA but I find that many people have saved addresses (I assume mostly in Frequent Contacts) that route messages through our old GWIA. Doing a grep search of the old GWIA logs on the term "sender" is how I know this is still how these messages are flowing.
Anyway, for example, there is a user that sends messages to his VP and that VP's address shows to be "Firstname Lastname ("[email protected]@etmc.org) in the properties of the message. With the old GWIA off messages to this address remain in Pending status. Turn the old GWIA back on and the message goes on through.
Does the GWCheck PABFix option correct these stored addresses in personal address books, or is there another way, or any way at all?
TIA
Steve

I just had this problem after upgrading to 2012. An old utility (gwpabasr.exe) saved the day. You can find it in the file finder on the download site. Yes, it is OLD but it worked. Just be careful of the location of the gwpabasr.sri. It looks for it in the local windowsa directory. I know I am late to post to this request but maybe some else is looking for it.

How do I stop firefox from trying to resend every day an old email which I addressed to a bad email address?

Unknowingly I sent an email a couple of weeks ago to an outdated email address. I get an update from Mozilla every morning showing how many times it tried to resend that email the day before. But no instructions on how to stop it from trying to resend. Is there a way to stop the resending process? I already know the new correct email address.

Go to the Outbox and delete the mail.
The Outbox is under Local Folders.

Bad email addresses

Quite frequently TB will do a couple things when trying to create a new email.
Issue #1 - TB pulls in what I call phantom emails addresses which are in none of my address books including my collected addresses folder. I have a screen print of this if required. If example today when attempting to email my son I kept getting an address for him that isn't in any of the 3 address books I have so I have no idea where it's pulling this name from.
Issue #2 - For some reason if I can find and select the correct email address quick enough TB will automatically populate the email with my wife's email. Before that it was a client's email. How do I troubleshoot both these issues? Thanks

They are stored in a database within the app and are not directly accessible.
As the phone auto populates the list from several different sources, I would check the invalid data against those (i.e facebook,twitter, etc.).
If you've been helped click on , if you've been saved buy the app.

Somehow my apple id email address under homesharing on my apple tv is different than that used for homesharing on itunes in my imac. I can't access home sharing on my apple tv because of this. Can you please tell me how to change it on the apple tv in order to get homesharing to work?

turn off home sharing on apple tv, then turn it on again, entering new credentials. Apple-TV works very reliably with home sharing unlike iDevices which don't
