How can I purge a bad address from iPad Mail?

I have entered a bad address for my husband, thinking it was his correct e-mail address. I finally figured out it was wrong(there was an extra letter in it) and I changed it in contacts to correct it(Mobile Me corrected it on all my devices).
Now when I type in his name to send him an e-mail, iPad keeps wanting to send it to the old incorrect address, instead of the corrected address shown in contacts. Please tell me how I can purge the incorrect address from the mail program.

The more times that you use the correct email address, the sooner the correct address should come up as the first option in the list. Still can't delete it, but eventually the correct address should pop up as the first option over the incorrect address.

How can I remove a email address from my mail from window

Everytime I go and send an email from maverick mail the window from (thats me) has a misspelt address in it and my email often chooses this hence it wont send. I can send this mail by dropping the window down and choosing the rite address i.e. FROM.
I want to remove this address but I can not find it in accounts or on iCloud.
Help needed

I am saying instead of manually having to type in your various emails which result in a list popping up including your error-
You need to create a list of emails you use. Therfore you do not have to type everytime you go to send a email, you just choose your correct email from the drop down menu. Simply click of the mouse.
I see now the correct path should read:
Mail>Preference>Accounts>Accounts information>>Email Address
I am suggesting this is the easiest way of dealing with the problem and why would you not already have your list of emails at hand in the drop down menu for ease of work flow.
You maybe able to route out the cache file if you prefer, and delete:
The following resource outlines where the cache folder is stored. Note that the Library folder is hidden by default in OS X Mavericks. To access this folder, hold down option when clicking the Go menu in Finder:

If the issue does not appear to be related to preferences, a login item, or a kext file, and still persists in Safe Mode, there may be an issue with a cache file in your home folder:
1. From the Finder's Go menu, choose Home.
2. Open the Library folder.
3. Drag the Caches folder to the desktop.
4. Attempt to reproduce the issue.
5. If issue is resolved, drag the Caches folder to the Trash.
6. If issue persists, from the Finder's Go menu, choose Go To Folder.
7. Go to this folder: /Library
8. Drag the Caches folder to the desktop.
9. Attempt to reproduce the issue.
10. If issue is resolved, drag the Caches folder to the Trash.
11. If issue persists, go to step 4.

How can I add multiple email addresses from spreadsheet into email?

how can I add multiple email addresses from spreadsheet into email?

I have tried that, but the system reads the emails as one long email and I can't find any way of separating them - it ignores spaces, colons and I have also tried putting them through a word doc... still does not work. It works perfectly easily on a PC system!! ( I have just moved to a mac!)
any ideas would be good
thanks

You should be able to change your e-mail address from your provider ... then edit it to meet the Apple requirements. Unfortunately you've given us no profile details so we can't tell what device you have.

How can I Cut & paste an address from one address book to another on my PC.

My work computer has 3 address books - 1 personal address book, 2 collected address book, 3 work related address book.
After a couple of years I would like to tidy up my address books & cut & paste some of them from here to there. However there seems to be no cut & paste or copy & paste feature that I can locate anywhere????
I can't drag & drop an address from one to another either.
Can anyone please help
BevN

Cut and paste a whole contacts information has never available because it entails different components. Cut/Copy and paste has always been available if you are only selecting one part of the information, but this means you have to open a specific contacts Properties.
'''How to drag and drop contacts between address books:'''
In the left Directory Pane, select the address book containing the contact you want to move. You should see a list of contacts in the right Contact Pane.
Drag & Drop process:
* Left click and hold down on a contact in the list to grab, then drag that contact to the left and hover over the address book where you want to put the contact. Then release the mouse button to drop into that address book.
You can move more than one contact.
* Hold down 'Ctrl' key and use mouse to select and highlight various contacts.
* then use the D&D process - (left click, hold down on any highlighted contact to grab all highlighted contacts).

How can I remove my email address from the lock screen?

How do I remove my email address from the lock screen? My dad bought me a new laptop after mine was stolen from my house on New Year's Eve. I'm a little tighter on my security now and when I turn on my laptop the lock screen shows me my name and my email
address. If my laptop gets stolen again, I don't want my email address to be displayed for someone to use or sell as I'm extremely picky about what I'm giving out my email for. If there isn't a way to hide my email address, I'm going to demand a "downgrade"
from this Windows 8 s**t and back to the more user-friendly and less confusing Windows 7. (And for the record, I hate Windows 8. With a passion.)

How can I delete an email-address from an old Apple ID-account?

I need to delete an email-address from an old Apple ID-account, but the Apple ID seems to be deleted (but not by myself), to use it as a validated mail-address for communicating via iMessage from my new Apple ID.
I already tried 'Find my Apple ID'.

but the Apple ID seems to be deleted (but not by myself), to use it as a validated mail-address for communicating via iMessage from my new Apple ID.
If that AüpleID has been disabled for security reasons, you may not be able to access it. Then you need to give Apple Support a call: only they will be able to help you. See this webpage on how to contact Apple Support in your country: There are either telephone numbers given or an email form:
Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security
Explain, that you need help with an account security problem.
You can also try to email the iTunes Support using this form:https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html

How can I copy an email address from the form results while online?

Our form contains a field where the users submitted their email address. But I am not able to mouse over this data in the "View Responses" tab, and copy the email address by selecting the email address and Ctrl C, and neither can I right-click this data field and copy it.
Our organization just switched to Microsoft Office 365, and "mailto" links on web pages can no longer be clicked to launch a native desktop email client program. So the users tasked with responding to forms submitted via Formscentral now have a much harder workflow. They are compelled to download the data as a spreadsheet, just to be able to cut and paste an email address into their reply email.
I suggest and request that the Flash-based "View Responses" tab be modified to allow email addresses to be selectable and able to be copied to the "clip board". This would allow users who can't execute a clickable mailto link to copy and paste the email address from Formscentral into a new email. Many organizations like mine are moving away from native client-based email programs like Outlook to save money, in favor of cloud based SAS web-based email like Office 365.
Is there some other way to enable mailto links where no client email program is installed on the users PC?
Thanks,
-Dave Bartholomew

While I am still looking for a better answer, I've discovered a way to cut and paste email addresses from the FormsCentral "View Responses" dashboard. I wrote up the instructions to help our users and thought I'd share them in this forum as well.
But it would be nice if there was a simpler solution... Can anyone offer a better way?
-Dave B
) Right-click on the email address
) Select “Filter by: …” Doing this will change the view to show only entries that were sent from the selected email address.
) And it will display the Filter in the header of the form.
) Left-click on the email address displayed in the filtered results, in the header of the form.
) A new sub-form will appear, and the email address can be cut and pasted from this new sub-form. Highlight the email address and hit “Ctrl C”, or right-click and select copy.
) Now you can paste the email address into a new email in Office 365. (Ctrl V) or right-click and select “Paste”
) Click the “Clear” button and then “OK” to exit the filtered view of the data.
