Delete contacts from a deleted email account??? (sounds confusing I know)

This will require an explanation before I can get to my question so here I go. I have several email accounts that sync to my phone. I have now deleted one of my email accounts. The problem is that when I compose an email from any of the remaining email accounts still on my phone and start to type the name of the contact that I want to send the email to contacts from the deleted email account are still being displayed. I need to be able to remove the contacts from the deleted email account from my phone. These are contacts that are not part of my phone contacts. They are contacts that I have replied to from the deleted email account. If I have not clearly described my issue please let me know. Thanks for any suggestions anyone may have.

There is a system-wide email address cache. The only way to clear that cache is to perform a Restore via iTunes, and set your phone up as new (the list is backed up), meaning you'd need to reload all your content, redo your settings, etc.

Check the outgoing mail server setting. Make sure that your username and password are in there.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.

How to delete EMAIL accounts

I am using Nokia E72. could you please suggest how to delete EMAIL accounts from Mobile

If the accounts have been set up with Nokia Messaging, then go to email.nokia.com, log in there with the details of the first account you set up, and then you can delete accounts you don't need.
Once done when the phone next syncs it will remove them from the phone.
If they are manually configured accounts, then on the phone, just go to Email->Settings-> scroll to the account -> Options -> Remove mailbox

HT5361 Just now accidentally deleted email account. No warning appears and was deleted. Mail was not back up ed. Does exist any way how for Undo of this delete operation (need to recover mails and contacts there)

I just accidnetally deleted email account and there wa sno warining so it went through and I lost all my emails. The email was not Back up. Is there any way how this account could be recovered?

If the account was an IMAP account your emails should re-appear if you recreate the email account. If the account was POP you hopefully have backup (TIme Machine?) you can restore the emails from.

Spotlight & Mail Search Not Working After Deleting email Account's '.OfflineCache' File. How Do I Get Back to Normal?

Running OSX 10.7.4 and Mail.5.2.
One of 3 email accounts was constantly trying, but unable to synch. The rotating splines were turning non-stop but not synching (other two email accounts worked just fine.) After doing some searching on the internet, I found several articles about this. Many included the symptom of the "Recovered Messages" constantly being recovered/generated. I had noticed that I would get some recovered messages on occaision, but had never noticed it to be problematic. These articles suggested that the ".OfflineCache" file for that email account had been corrupted or the root of my problem. So, I deleted the .OfflineCach file as per this article...
Fix OSX Mail Creating Multiple 'Recovered Message
Well that got my mail working again. However, I soon noticed that spotlight no longer works and when I try to search mail, it doesn't work. It will only return a complete email address/contact; it doesn't search the contents of the email.
I tried to get spotlight to re-index the hard drive. However, when I try to drag a folder or volume to it, I get the error:
Since spotlight and mail search have always worked flawlessly for 5 years, I'm confident this is related to having deleted " .OffflineCache" for that particular email account. However, it seems strange that mail search won't work for the other email accounts.
Any other tips for getting spotlight back online?
How about the .OfflineCache file. Will Mail restore it, replace it on it's own?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also, looking back, not long before this problem started, I was trying to send a single email with numerous pictures ( around 50 or so.) I forgot to select "medium" for the picture size and it started trying to upload them at full size. I realized this after a minute or two and cancelled the upload, changed to 'medium' and sent the email with no problem. I point this out because the "Multiple Recovered Messages" error seems to be related to or being induced by having an excessively large file in the particular mail account's .Offline.Cache file.

Well, a couple days later and it seems that the .offlinecache has been rebuilt. Finder, Spotlight, & Mail search all seem to be working normally now!

Deleted emails show up again in spotlight

When I type a few characters in spotlight, very old emails show up. I clicked it and it opened the mail.app and the email is still there in a freestanding box. I am unable to delete it however. I have tried several things. rebuilding mailbox. deleting and adding the account back into the mail.app. rebuilding spotlight. Nothing. Even in spotlight, when I click on show in finder, select the files, delete them and then empty the trash, they still keep showing up. Isn't it a security flaw that Apple should adress, as it seems is has been going on for quite awhile? Ia there a way to delete them once and for good?
It doesn't have anything to do with the OS.

I'm using Mavericks here and I have the same problem.
After I decided to NOT use Mail and deleting all my mail accounts from my mac, spotlight still finds all my emails and open them with no problem with Mail app, even tho it has no accounts and no folders in it.

How to delete email account on iCloud

How do i delete a email account on icloud and put in a new one ?

If the ID is your the iPad is signed into is your old ID, and if your new ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPad on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Deleted Mail Account Still Sending Mail

Hi Apple World,
Can anyone explain to me why an old gmail account which I used to have as an account on my Mac is still sometimes coming up as the from address when I send mail?
This has got me in some trouble as people have been "replying" and I have not received it as it goes to my gmail which I do not use. So my boss now thinks I just havent replied! I checked my sent box and sure enough it says sent from [email protected] however the only account I have are a [email protected] and my icloud account.
I have deleted the gmail account entirely from google but can anyone explain how this may have happened as I have deleted other accounts off my mail and would like to make sure I don't have to worry about them.
Cheers,
Linda

Impossible to delete email account :-S

Hello,
I installed system seven for outlook on my Nokia E71. I set up two email accounts which automatically went onto the email accounts list of the E71.
I decided to delete one of the accounts which I could not do from the email account settings of the E71. So, I went into the system seven software and deleted the account.
However, the account still shows on the email account list of the E71 even though the it has been removed from the system seven software.
I decided to remove the system seven software and the email account is still listed in the E71. There appears to be no way of removing this redundant account. It is quite annoying.
Has anyone else had a similar problem?
Thanks.
Nik

(Cross posting)...
1. Login to email.nokia.com
2. After login is COMPLETE, check the server name in the browser window
3. Enter the name EXACTLY to the "settings" ==> SELECT ACCOUNT ==> "account settings" ==> "account information" ==> "server name"
4. Select "Back" (It is the right key)
5. You will see some messages and after that the account is either functional or at least you can delete.
(THROUGHT THE FORUM, account deletion problems are most likely happening due to server changes where your account information is stored. It happened to me that when I first created the account, the server was different then what I found today (it was a different server), when I solved my problems). When email.nokia.com ACCOUNTS are not in sync with your PHONE ACCOUNTS, this is most likely the problem. I hope it will help many.

Accidently deleted email account-- any chance I can get messages back?

I've got 2 computers using the same email accounts. For many months I've used Mobile Me for the home email address, and a GoDaddy POP account for the work address. Mobile Me syncs the accounts but not the messages for the GoDaddy address. I manually send/receive messages with my GoDaddy account (pop server is set to store messages for a day so I can retrieve them on both computers)
Last night on my home computer I was given a message about needing to sync mobile me because something was reset or it was my first time syncing. The option selected was "merge all data." I restarted computer but continued to get this message. So I figured "what the ****" and I merged all data. Nothing seemed wrong with my home computer after I did this.
When I arrived to work this morning, my Mail application was showing a duplicate work account/address (go daddy). I'm assuming this was because of what I'd did the night before. By clicking on each duplicate account I discovered that the extra account had only been active since the night before. It only had new emails from the last few hours. The other work account contained all my messages just like it should.
So.....I deleted the extra work email account and kept my original account. My orignal work account still exists. All the emails are still in the account in my inbox..... BUT now when I click on these emails there is NOTHING shown for content. Each email opens to a blank page.
I'm pretty sure I'll still have the work emails on my home computer. If needed, Is there a way to transfer those emails to my work computer?
Any other suggestions?
Thanks for your help

are the mail setups on your two computers exactly the same? if yes you can quit mail and copy the folder /users/username/library/mail and the file /users/username/library/preferences/com.apple.mail.plist from the home computer to the corresponding location on the work computer. then when you start mail it will look just like it did on the home computer.
but if Mail setups are not exactly the same you shouldn't do this. instead copy the folder /users/username/library/mail from the home computer to the desktop (not to the library) on the work computer. next start mail and go to file menu->import mailboxes and select to import "Mail for OS X". choose the copied folder on the desktop and import the mailboxes you want. they will be imported into submailboxes of "Imported" mailbox in "on my mac" section and you'll have to move the messages from there to their appropriate locations.
the second procedure will work for any POP or local mailboxes but not for IMAP mailboxes.

Receiving emails to a deleted email account

I created an email account but I deleted it, and now I am still receiving emails to it on my BB. I also see that I still have a file for this email account. How do I stop the emails from coming to my BB and how do I delete the file?

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
How did you go about deleting the email account? If it was a BIS-based email conduit, then here is the procedure you should have followed:
