How can you delete old mail addresses?

When sending an email (with iPhone 4, iOS5, Gmail) and you are starting to type the recipient's name at the "To:" field, the autofill function suggests addresses some of which are dated / no longer valid / unwanted ones, from previous recipients.
How on earth can I delete such adresses???!!!
They drive me crazy!
Thank you.

Thank you, Chris.
Now, as I do not wish to restore the phone as new, if I try my luck and "Reset All Settings" can you please tell me which Settings will be affected? What sort of information / data / will I lose? For example, will the phone "look" the same? I guess I am actually asking you what are "Settings"...
Dammit - I am such an iPhone newbbie...
I appreciate your help.

How can I delete old email addresses from the "From" drop down menu when sending emails?

I have some old email addresses, I think may be aliases that show up in the drop down box in the "From" in email messages that I send.
They don't show up anywhere in the Preferences/Accounts panel at all.
Very perplexed at this one.

From the Mail menubar, click Window and select Previous recipients. In there you can delete old email contacts.

How can I delete unwanted mail addresses from the auto fill list in e.mail

When I go to type a mail adress on my ipad I get a drop down list of previous mail addresses including all the typo's and used once. There doesn't seem to be a way of deleting unwanted one's. Unless anyone knows better?

No, it can't be done. There have been many requests for this.
All you can do is send feedback to Apple on it at http://www.apple.com/feedback/iPad.html

How can I delete old email addresses from auto complete?

Hello to everyone on this great forum,
I have been having trouble trying to find out how to delete the old typed email history. For an example, if I go to send a picture to Bob, I start typing Bob and it comes up with 3 old emails of his. Not a big deal except it's hard to keep track of what emails are current.
In other words, after deleting the old emails in the contacts it still shows up when I start typing a person's name.
Any help would be great,
Thx
Jon

you cannot do this unless you restore your phone as a NEW device.

To get rid of "pop-up ads and other crap on my computer when I am on the internet", click on Safari in the Menu bar, and select Preferences. Next select Extensions. Delete all of them. Restart Safari.
The first step in addressing the black screen is an SMC reset.
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

How Can i delete Suggestions mail when i write 1 mail?

How Can i delete Suggestions mail when i write 1 mail?

Don't worry about your english, my Italian is probably even worse! If your applications and other data are synced as they should in iTunes, photos from the camera roll are imported to the computer, music is all in iTunes and calendar and contacts are synced to a supported application, the only thing you will lose is wi-fi settings (they can be re-done) and applicaiton data, such as scores, etc. After restoring as new, sync the content back. You will not be able to restore from a backup as the addresses will exist in the backup and just return.

TS3992 on iPad: How can I delete my Mail storage from my iCloud backup?

on iPad: How can I delete my Mail storage from my iCloud backup?

Did anyone ever provide a resolution, because I am having the same problem.
My iCloud backup said yesterday that over 500 MB was being used by the Mail portion of the backup. So I went into iCloud.com, deleted all of the mail in my Sent Mail folder, then emptied the trash entirely. When I did that, it got worse; it said that 1.2 GB of the iCloud backup was taken up by the Mail backup. That doesn't make any sense. That is actually the opposite of what was supposed to happen.
Today, it is back to saying that Mail takes up 609.4 MB of space in the backup, but there is next-to-nothing in any of my iCloud email folders. What is going on?
Any suggestions you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

How can I delete old data in citadel

How can I delete old data from Citadel so that HDD is not full when data is continously being logged in the database ?

Hi there,
I could see different possible ways to limit the database size on a LabVIEW DSC system.
a) You could limit the lifespan of your logged data to a certain time by adjusting the option 'Days to keep historical data' in the Tag Configuration Editor>Configure>Historical... tab.
b) You could use the Citadel Database VIs. Archive Database.vi would allow you to archive a database or a part (certain traces/tags, or certain time interval) to another location. With the archive option 'destructive', it would delete the source of the data from the original database.
Delete Traces.vi would delete a traces from a database.
c) The same/similar functionality you can have throught the Measurement and Automation Explorer and its Historical Data Viewer plug-in
b) and c) are NEW features of LabVIEW DSC 6.1!
Hope this helps
Roland
PS: There is a nice link about archiving Citadel on ni.com :

How can I delete a bookmark address in I cloud without deleting the whole account

How can I delete a bookmark address in I cloud without deleting the complete account. Is it possible?

Your question does not make much sense. iCloud syncs Safari's bookmarks between devices. If you delete a web site's bookmark from one device it will be removed from all other devices setup to sync to your iCloud account. If this is a bookmark to other websites you have an account with such as Amazon or other sites you are only removing the bookmark to that site, you would have to log into that website to remove thae account related to that site.
