Deleting auto suggest email address

PLEASE let me know how to delete erroneous email auto suggest addresses on iPad.

I use Gmail and found (after doing more research) that the Iphone was pulling contact information from my Gmail account as well as from the iPhone/iPad contact list. (This makes sense when you consider that when writing an email on the Iphone, the email shows up on-line in the Gmail account)
I rarely use Gmail on the Internet (as I use Outlook on my PC) and it never occured to me that this was the problem. I decided to look at my contacts listed in Gmail and found the same email addresses being auto-suggested.
After I deleted those contacts and went back to my iPhone/iPad, I verified that the email addresses were no longer being auto-suggested. It worked!
I don't know if this is also true for Yahoo, AOL, etc. If it is, then all you will need to do is clean up the contacts in these accounts and the addresses should no longer be suggested.
Good Luck!

Deleting auto added email addresses

How can I delete auto added and wrong email addresses ?
Doe the new o's 5.1 do this ?

The only way that I know of to delete incorrect or old email addresses is to restore the iPad back to defaults (which I assume that you don't want to do) - I'm not aware of anything having been added in iOS 5.1 that allows you to edit that list of email addresses. You could try leaving feedback, and maybe in a future update we'll be able to : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

Deleting auto-populated email addresses

When creating a new email message in the Mail application, I mistyped an email address in To: line(.con instead of .com) and now every time I go to type that specific email address, the wrong one keeps coming up as an option. How do I delete this from my history?

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.

Can you delete "suggested" email addresses?

For some reason, my iPad has memorized some email addresses I don't which to have populated in the drop-down suggested email addresses (i.e. in the address field in mail, when I start typing Smi... I get 3 Smiths even though only one is in my address book.
I've checked on my Mac (to which the iPad is synced) and the unwanted Smiths are no where to be found -- not in my Address Book. Also on my Mac in Mail I've clicked on Window>previous recipients and made sure the unwanted addresses aren't there either. (Also on my Mac these unwanted Smiths do not show up as suggestions the way they do on my 'pad).
On the iPad I can't determine any way to delete them. Any ideas?

As with the Mail.app on your Mac, the iPad's Mail application stores all message recipients in a previous recipients list. The auto-fill feature when addressing a message draws from the address book and from the list of previous recipients. Different from the Mail.app on your Mac, there is not a way to access the list of previous recipients with the iPad's Mail application to add a previous recipient to the address book if not already entered, or remove a previous recipient from the list - not at the present time anyway.
Although the list of previous recipients is included with the backup that is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process, the list of previous recipients is not synced with the list of previous recipients with the Mail.app on your Mac.
The same applies with the iPhone and the iPad Touch at the present time. Hopefully this will be included with firmware update 4.0.

How do I delete a incorrect email address I typed in a sent email from the suggested email list when I start typing again?

How do I delete a incorrect email address I typed in a sent email from the suggested email address list when I start typing again?

You can't. There is no way to eliminate those remembered addresses in the mail app. Eventually if you keep ignoring that address it will go away, but it can take some time before it disappears. The only way that you can eliminate now, is by restoring the iPad to factory settings and that's pretty radical just to get rid of a mistyped email address - IMO anyway.

Where does Mail keep its hidden cache of auto-complete email addresses. I am plagued with an incorrect email address I can't get rid of. Have made sure it's deleted from Contacts and made sure it's deleted from "Previous Recipients" list in Mail. But it still keeps reappearing ... obviously a secret cache file hidden somewhere?

Autocomplete has nothing to do with this problem.
From the Mail menu bar, select
Window ▹ Connection Doctor
Look for a disused SMTP (outgoing mail) account in the window that opens. Double-click it. Another window will open, showing a list of all the outgoing mail accounts. The unwanted one will be selected. Click the minus-sign button to delete it, then click OK.
If there's more than one unwanted account, repeat.

How can I get back Mail Auto-Complete email addresses?

After upgrading to Mountain Lion, my Mail no longer works with the auto-complete of email address.
My Contacts.app works fine, it just seems that Mail is no longer able to 'read' from my Contacts.
I use iCloud and everything was great for years. Mail preferences is set to Auto-Complete email address from my Contacts.
Not sure how the problem started, but I launched Mail on a 2nd computer - on the same iCloud.
Shortly after I did that, my 1st Mac no longer auto-completes email. I'm unsure if that is what set off the problem.
Also, I 'did' read Tom Nelson's article which did not work since it's not an 'alias' problem:
http://macs.about.com/od/MacTroubleshootingTips/qt/What-To-Do-When-Mountain-Lion -Mail-Fails-To-Auto-Complete-Email-Addresses.htm
Also, there doesn't appear to be a com.apple.mail.plist preferences file I can even delete in Mountain Lion.
I use Dropbox, but have never it to sync Addresses, Calendar, etc.
Any help greatly appreciated!

I had the same issue. After reading this solution I started poking around in the Container folder and found that there was a symlink for AddressBook that was messed up which was causing the problem. In ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Application Support I ran:
$ cd ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Application\ Support
$ ls -lh
AddressBook -> ??/???7??ʪ?????VT???;??\G[?:??:??????T?_Ү??
CrashReporter
Mail
SyncServices -> ../../../../../Application Support/SyncServices
iCloud -> ../../../../../Application Support/iCloud
Seeing the aliases for SyncServices and iCloud, I guessed correctly that I just needed to recreate the AddressBook alias to point to the right place. So I just removed the alias for AddressBook, recreated it, restarted Mail, and it worked perfectly. (Note: I did the following to remove the alias, and recreate it. You should confirm what you are removing is an alias. You should also always make sure you have a backup.)
$ cd ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Application\ Support
$ rm AddressBook
$ ln -s ../../../../../Application\ Support/AddressBook AddressBook
Obviously, DrewSchatt's original solution to this works as well, but this way you don't have to delete the whole folder, resetting your preferences and possibly delete something else important (only recreating the alias, not deleting any files or data).

How do i delete auto fill emails on ipad

how do i delete auto fill emails on ipad

If you mean that when you start to enter an email address it completes the address with the incorrect one then the answer is no without restoring the iPad to factory defaults/new iPad.

Passport does not auto complete email addresses

when typing email address, the old BB used to suggest and auto complete email addresses. Now when i start typing an email address it shows a button "LOOK UP ..." then it shows the list of possible matches once i press the button. what do i need to change to make it do matches automatically without the need for the button push.
I have seen alot of people complain about this but no solution.

Auto complete and the suggestion are two separte functions.
With the contacts in my contacts app there is no issue with me doing either.
Possible you have the email address in a different contact field?

How to delete the duplicate email address in BP master data

Hi,

In CRM you can create the same BP with different id. I would like to know how to delete the email address during importing email addresses from the third party tool.
During the campaign you are sending email to all your customers, when the customer want to unsubscibe the email address from your list, how to unsubcribe the email address and how to updat the BP master data.
If you are sending the email to customer, you are using html or simple text, if the customer wants only html or simple text, how you to specify in the system?
thanks,
arul

Hello Arul,
welcome to the SDN CRM Development forum.
1. I think you should clear the data with duplicate E-Mail adresses in the external tool.
2. Unsubscription could be done by a Marketing Attribute which could be set by using a Target Group which is created by Campaign Automation. Have a look at this Toppic. There is also a Best Practice avaliable at http://help.sap.com/bp_crmv340/CRM_DE/index.htm.
3. Also HTML or Simple text can be mained in a Marketing Attribute. You have to use different Mail Forms to which are sent to different Target groups.
Regards
Gregor

What would happen if I were to delete the primary email address linked to my Apple ID?

I wish to completely de-activate my @hotmail email address in order to be left with just my @icloud email address becuase I would find life more managable that way.
I found out that I cannot change my primary @hotmail email address linked to my Apple ID with an @icloud email address as it is an active, separate Apple ID (in itself with a separate purchase / download history etc)...
Also I am aware that separate Apple ID's cannot be merged together...
My question is: "What would happen if I were to delete the primary email address linked to my Apple ID?"
Would I be able to keep and use my purchases, provided they are backed up on my Mac and authorised?
Would I be able to update those transferred purchases even though the email address linked to the apple ID in which the app was bought no longer exists?

You can change the primary e-mail address associated with your Apple ID, so long as it isn't a mac, me or icloud email.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621
Your Apple ID account, regardless of the primary email, can never be 'deleted', just abandoned.
You could always just switch between the two Apple IDs as needed, to access the different purchases.

How do I remove a suggested email address on iPhone when the suggestioned address DOESN'T have a blue i next to it?

I want to remove some email addresses from the list of suggested email addresses which appear in iPhone's Mail app.
All of the ways I've found so far to remove suggested email addresses involve clicking on a blue arrow or i next to the suggested name. However, the suggestion(s) I want to remove have nothing on which to click. How can suggested addresses be removed without something to click?

Here's the solution (it's what you suggested):
If the old email address is in the contacts no blue circle i appears. The blue circle indicates it is in recent but not in contacts.
You need two step procedure:
1. remove email from contacts (try doing a Search for it if necessary);
2. and then remove from recent by starting a new email, starting to enter email address (which brings up the Recent suggestions), then click on the blue circle i (which should now be there because you removed email address from Contacts), select Remove from Recent).

How do I delete an iCloud email address that was created under my Apple ID?

I have an Apple ID that is used mostly for iTunes. My son has an iPod Touch and wanted to create an iCloud email address to use on his iPod. We created an iCloud email address through my Apple ID, not realizing that now, every time he sends an email, it arrives "from" my name, not his, as the address is attached to my Apple ID and therefore through my account information. We would like to delete his iCloud email address completely so he can open his own personal Apple ID and recreate his iCloud email address through his own new Apple account. We deleted the account from his iPod and also deleted it as a second email address on my AppleID account information. Yet, despite all this, the email address seems to remain attached to my account. Apple Support website and iCloud support did not give us any ideas. Help!

PS:
since I posted this question (above), I have read many other questions posted and it seems I am not alone. Seems Apple will not allow people to delete an iCloud email address completely from existence! You can delete it from devices but not from the Apple ID account. What a disappointment, really. In my opinion, the "user-friendly" Apple is really frustrating people who simply want to be able to manage their email addresses for various, valid reasons. Email addresses that have been created should be allowed to be deleted by the creator! Other email services allow this!
One idea I have that may help others in my situation: Rather than delete my son's iCloud email address from my Apple ID account, so that his emails come from HIS name not MINE, I might try to just change the name on my AppleID account from mine to his. He can create a new password too. Then, in the future, if I want to recreate my own Apple ID, I will.
