You might want to try contacting Apple for assistance by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click See All Products and Services>iTunes>iTunes Store>Passwords & Security Questions>Lost or Forgotten Apple ID password. They should be able to explain what's going on and help you reset the password for the old ID if necessary. The call should be free.

I'm unable to add the email address for iMessage, that I was using before iOS 7 to my iPhone, because it says that it is "in use by another device," but I have no other devices. How do I resolve this so I can add this email address to my iPhone?

Sync your iPhone to iTunes, and see if that does the trick. Also you could try a Soft Reset with no Risk to Data. Holding down both the Sleep button and the Home button until the Apple logo appears and then waiting for the Reset to bring you iPhone back to the lock screen. Are you trying to add the email at Settings>Messages>Send and Receive from (2 Addresses) your iPhone number and your email address?

My iMessage will not register that I have a phone number attached to the account on my mac. It only shows the email addresses. My iPhone and iPad work perfectly.

Hi Aurion23,
If you intend to keep using iCloud on your iPad, your best course of action would be to update your Apple ID/iCloud information so that you have a known password and it is associated with an active email address. You may find the following articles helpful:

HT204053 I changed my Apple ID (email address) to a new Apple ID (email address), but my iPhone is asking for my password on my old email address which has been discontinued, now I can not get into iCloud or add Apps because the old email and password do

I recently changed my Apple ID (to my new email address), but my iPhones are still showing my old Apple ID and are asking for my old password. It no longer exists and now I can not add any Apps or get into iCloud because they previous ID no longer exists but that is what is popping up in Apple ID box and I cannot change it on the phone. How do I get my new Apple ID assigned to my phone(s)?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If it's iCloud that is asking for these details:
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.
This article provides more information about Activation Lock.
If it's iTunes asking for these details:
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

IMessage mms email address

In the settings for Messages in IOS 5, there is a field "MMS email address". What should I put here? I already entered an email for "Receice at" field. I have an email address from my iPhone service provider Softbank for my iPhone.

I would like to second this question.
Whenever I open iMessage, it prompts me to fill in the MMS email address in the settings, but there is no indication of what email address would be appropriate. Do I need to put in the carrier provided email address, which I have never used even once in over three years, or can I put in any of the email addresses I commonly use?
Also, how is this email address exactly used by iMessage? I don't want my private email address showing to clients, and I don't want my business email address showing to family and friends.
In the past, the cell phone number was sufficient for MMS. Why has this changed?

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.

Hi Sister Kate,
If you change the Apple ID you are using on an iPhone or other iOS device, there are several places you need to change it on the device. See this article -

How do I change the icloud email address on my iphone 4s

How can I change the icloud account/ email address on my iphone 4s

Hi shelby,
You need to do the following:
1.     Sign into Manage your Apple ID with your current ID and password, and EDIT the ID back to the old email address. This is temporary. Do NOT verify it, do NOT change the password: Apple - My Apple ID
2.     Go to Settings>iCloud and scroll to the bottom of the screen and click on Delete Account.Type in your current password when asked, then follow the prompts to delete the iCloud account from your device
3.     Go back to Manage your Apple ID and sign in with the old ID and the current password. EDIT the Apple ID back to the new email address. You may have to verify it again.
4.     Go back to Settings>iCloud and sign on with the new ID
Cheers,
GB

If you don't know your password, don't know your security questions and don't have a rescue address or don't receive a reset email, you should contact AppleCare who will initially try to assist you with a reset email or if unsuccessful will pass you to the security team to reset your security questions for you.
If you are in a region that doesn't have international telephone support try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support.

Will iMessage deliver to recipients iMessage through email address if their phone off etc..?

Most discussions keep saying it will revert to SMS but that is only when iMessage is sent to cell #. With email method it just sits not showing delivered message.
Will it deliver once they turn on their phone or come into range or should I delete it and just try sending it later?
Also my friend has read receipts on and all along we were texting (iMessage ) by cell#. Then one day she sent by the email address instead. I get those read receipts but suddenly if I imessge to her cell# I never get the read receipt eventhough it shows delivered. I don't think she ever got the message to her. Cell#. That method of imessaging her used to work like a charm.
I find with the iMessages to email address , during instant chat it will take 10 min for me to get her message after seeing the three typing dots.
Any explanations for these issues?

correction... it is 'receive at'.. not 'receive from'..

I have an iPhone 5s running ios 7.1. I am unable to send emails to any of my own email addresses from my iphone.
