How can I delete a no-longer-valid email address from iPhone's Mail?

My son has changed his email address, and I have made the changes in the Adressbook (they sync correctly via MobileMe). But his old email address continues to pop up in the Mail application. I know how to delete this from the desktop's Mail application, but don't know how to do this on the iPhone.
Any suggestions/pointers? Thanks in advance. Cheers, Veit

The only way to remove this data from your phone is to restore the phone as a "new" device, & not from a backup. Of course, if you do this you will lose all saved data & have to sync back your itunes content. Some view this as a feature, others a PIA. You need to decide for yourself if it's worth going through restoring as new or just living with it. You can leave feedback here:

    I have two Apple ID, how can I delete one and use the email address associates to the main one?

    If you abandon one of the Apple IDs you will also basically be abandoning any content that you have acquired with that Apple ID. Content can only be updated and re-downloaded with the Apple ID that was used to buy it. Apple will not combine the content of Apple IDs and Apple will not transfer the content from one Apple ID to another Apple ID.

    You only lose iCloud data from other devices if you manually delete the data. If you Erase all content and data, you keep iCloud data elsewhere.

  • How do I delete old .mac and .me email addresses from the new iCloud email server?

    Now that I have iCloud, all the old .mac and .me email that I never used feeds through it.  Since there is no SPAM filter, I cannot block these emails from getting through and I get lots of spam now.   How do I delete the .mac and .me email addresses?
    Thanks.

    I  set the Rules months ago to automatically put all email sent to those email addresses in TRASH.  However, they still appear in my Mail Trash on my Mac.  Just an annoyance.    Thanks for the response.

  • How can I print out a list of email addresses from my address book?

    I would like to print out a hard copy of all the email addresses which I have in stored in my address book or are they stored in "mail"? It would come in handy at times especially when using a public computer somwhere.
    Thanks, Hans

    Hi,
    If you have Lion on the computer then all the Contact Info is sent via iCloud to the iOS 5 device which presumably you do take with you.
    The Address Book stores the info you have told it.
    This tends to be Contacts that you have "Real Names" for in addition to something like an email or iChat Screen Name.
    The Mail App does store all contact emails that you have had.
    See Window Menu > Previous Recipients.
    These are marked as to which are already in the Address Book.
    You could select this whole list and copy it to text Edit and Print from there.
    I have not tried Printing from the Address Book

  • How can I delete a chosen picture in my address card

    Hi ALL,
    As the title already says ... How can I delete a chosen picture in my address card.
    Every Email I sent it shows a picture on the right upper corner.
    I tried to delete it or chose "Non" but notting works ... how to do that.
    Thanks in advance ...
    Dimaxum

    That picture does not show in actual emails - none of your recipients will see it. The picture is the one you chose when you set up your account; you can change it in System Preferences -> Accounts, but you can't delete it - each account will have a picture assigned to it.

    I have a new iPad. I am using Comcast as my email provider but when I send a message, it pulls up the facebook email addresses for my  contacts  instead of the addresses stored in my comcast account.  How can I get rid of the Facebook email addresses? The comcast addresses are stored in the comcast (xfinity) app.  I do not use the "mail" or "contacts" apps ....I go straight to comcast (xfinity).  I wish I could start over!!!  thanks.

    I could be wrong, but it sounds like Facebook imported to your contacts.  I have the Xfinity app on my new ipad, too, but none of my stored contacts from the online version are showing, only what I manually entered into the iPads contacts are there.  When I did add the FB app, I did not grant it permission to push and pull from my ipad (not a fan of FB knowing every detail about me), so that may be where our difference lies.  You could try to open the app and change your privacy settings, or delete it and then reinstall without granting permissions to integrate.
    I'm sure someone here with a lot more knowledge then me can probably diagnose your issue better, though.  Good luck!

  • How can I delete a contact and an empty group from iPad 2?

    I downloaded the iPad 2 User's Guide, but its instructions for deleting a contact do not work. I cannot scroll down and find a Delete button to click. Also, there is an untitled group on my iPad 2 (which is not on the iMac to which I sync the iPad 2). How can I deleted this annoying untitled group? The user's guide has nothing about groups in its index or under Contacts.

    Oh dear. I Reset the iPad, and it made me set it up again, like I did when I first got it. When I got to the choice of "Set Up as New iPad" or "Restore from iTunes Backup," I chose "Restore from iTunes Backup." Then I tried to sync it with iTunes. iTunes gave me no error message, but the iPad is stuck on the screen that says, "Connect to iTunes," even though it IS connected to iTunes. Is this because I cannot connect to a wifi zone? I'm hardly ever in a wifi zone. I don't have access to one right now. Does this mean I can't use my iPad until I find a free wifi zone to connect to?
