Email names not in contacs when composing email

Hi,
When composing a new email (activesync). I see many different email addresses when typing in TO... but most of these names are not in my contacts list.
How can I remove certain names?
I'm actually trying to send emails to myself but there are six different addresses with my name... only one of the addresses works.. the others are invalid and bounce back (for instance, one of them does not have anything after the @ sign).
When I check contacts I have only one with my own name in it.
Any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks,
Dave

They are just suggestions from previous emails (you must have typed them in by mistake or received emails from someone with those addresses--possibly spam) and, unfortunately, you can't remove or change them. After a while they'll go away.

  • Attachments not showing when composing emails

    Hello.
    For some reason I don't know, Mail has suddenly stopped displaying attachments I insert when composing emails. No matter what file type, it displays the Lego cube with the question mark instead of the attachment. (Note: NOT the little blue square with a question mark which indicates a file missing etc.)
    However, people receive them just fine and I receive attachments just fine myself. I also receive my own attachments when I send an email to the office mailing list (which includes myself).
    It is only when I compose an email that I am not seeing the things I attach. Not the correct file icon, not the file name or size, not the 'show attachments as...' option. Nothing. Just the blue Lego-type cubes with the question mark.
    I have set the Preference in Composing to Rich Text, we use an IMAP server in the office but I am the only one suffering this problem and I don't know what has changed as it was working just fine until a few weeks ago!
    Any help would be appreciated as it is extremely irritating, if anything because I don't know why.

    Hi,
    What if you do a All Mailbox search, are you able to see the specific mail item in the result list?
    You might need to check your view setting of that folder. Maybe you have it set for unread mail only, or some settings are filtering out the messages you just moved.
    Just highlight the folder, then click View in the ribbon, then click
    View Settings. Click Filter... button on the dialog, then clear any related settings or click
    Clear All button.

  • I have changed the email signature on my iPhone, when composing a new email the signature is there, however when I am replying to an email it is not, how can I make sure that the signature is at the end of every email I send?

    I have changed the email signature on my iPhone, when composing a new email the signature is there, however when I am replying to an email it is not, how can I make sure that the signature is at the end of every email I send?

    Yes I know what you mean about it cluttering the thread and for personal emails it is better without the signature. However this relates to sending business emails from an iPhone so I need the signature present on every email.
    I can't find anything in Settings so I was hoping someone may have some knowledge/information/experience regarding this problem.

  • Email contacts don't show up when composing email

    Hi,
    I recently got an iPad2 and added a couple of email accounts including gmail and yahoo mail. However, i noticed a key difference when composing email from an iPad rather than on an Iphone.
    On my iPhone4 when I compose an email and in the 'To:' address field I start typing the name of my contact iphone is able to search from my contact list from my gmail account, however this does not happen on the Ipad.
    Any idea how to fix this?
    I have set-up my email accounts in the same way as I did on my phone.
    Thanks very much

    It also work on the iPad, so try to turn off/on your iPad or a reset, keep the On/off button and the Home button pressed at the same time till you see the Apple logo in your screen.

  • Email address list populated drop down disappearing on the to / cc / bcc fields when composing emails

    First the symptoms:
    As far as I can see this effects only the v5.0 RIM OS. We have a multitude of users and the ones who are affected all shared the same trait: they had newer, v5.0 OS preinstalled on their BBerries. The ones with v4.7 never had the problem (might be a coinsidence, nothing solid here)
    The user cannot see a drop down of email addresses prepopulated with the recently used ones, and with the option to "lookup" the email address. User starts typing the email address, and no drop down is shown while composing email.
    If the user manually types in the email address into the To, Cc or BCc fields, the adress will not be permanent and the email will not be sent at all. The "send" menu item will not be visible when the track ball is pressed.
    Quick remedy to send emails:
    Hit the enter key after typing in the email address. Do NOT switch to the next row using the track ball, or pressing the trackball. Hit the enter key. Then you will be able to send the email.
    Backing up the user files and wiping the handset and re-installing the OS seems to resolve the issue, alas, one user had the same problem again in a month after the operation. So that is NOT a permanent solution.
    Funny fix: On the affected device, go to email options -> Options / General Options / "Show recent contacts when composing email" and just switch it to whatever is in there. If it is Yes, make it No, if it is No, make it yes. Then save. And the drop down should become visible again. Counter-intuitively, this setting was YES on on affected device, we switched it to No just for the sake of having made a change, saved the settings and the drop down became visible with the setting at "NO". When we switched it back to "YES" the drop down became invisible again

    Once you have the Write window open, press F9 to open the Contact Sidebar. Select your contacts from there.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • Eliminate history of unwanted contacts when composing emails

    When composing an email, and I type in the first letter or two of the recipient, a history comes up and contains unwanted, incorrect or undesired email addresses that are NOT in my address book. How do I clean them up so only the desired contacts are shown? I cannot find a way to delete these. Thank you...it drives me nuts!

    All suggestions ARE in your address books. You have at least 2 default books. The personal and the collected books. You will have to find them in the books and fix or delete them.

  • Outlook 2011 screen loses focus / priority when composing email

    When composing an email in Outlook 2011, the screen changes from being the priority / primary focus...and it's driving me nuts.  I am using an external keyboard/mouse so it's not an issue where I am hitting the trackpad.  When typing, the email window stays in the foreground; however, the focus is a different window...so it just "bonks" at me as I type the email...having to reach over to my mouse, click at the end of the sentence and continue typing.  Has anyone else run across this?  Any ideas?  Running OSX 10.8, 2.7GHz MBP Core i7 with 8GB RAM

    Here is a link with a couple work arounds http://arstechnica.com/civis/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=1180706. Also it appears that the issue is known as well as the cause. Thought I'd share this is driving me nuts.

  • Screen Blacks Out When Composing Email

    When I am composing emails after a minute or two the screen goes black, and the phone reverts back to the home page. The pending email disappears (not even saved as a draft) anyone have a clue how to fix this?

    I'll be honest.  These are WAGs.  However...
    Since the Reset didn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

  • Wireless Keyboard hangs iPad when composing email

    I, like most people, use the option key plus arrows in order to move through words and paragraphs quickly when editing text or composing an email. Several times I've been halfway through writing a long email and pressed an option+arrow combo only to find the Mail app has hung. The only way to get it working again is to reset the iPad, thus losing all my text. It's got to the point now that I'm composing email in Pages and then copy-pasting.
    Is anyone else experiencing the same problem? It's incredibly frustrating.
    Any advice much appreciated.

    It also work on the iPad, so try to turn off/on your iPad or a reset, keep the On/off button and the Home button pressed at the same time till you see the Apple logo in your screen.
