How can you edit the Email Address field in Mail without deleting the account?

I have a few accounts and the email address domain of my work account has changed but it seems to be one of the fields you cannot change.
On my iPhone it was simple ... you can just edit the field and it works.
My Email comes in fine but mail auto selects accounts based on the domain of who you are emailing and now that it has changed its not doing that anymore.

If you're running iOS 6, to change your iCloud ID go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID. This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.
To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll (if not already there) before deleting the account. To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.

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:
OS X Mavericks: What is the Library folder?

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.

How can I edit received emails in Apple's Mail app? Also, delayed sending of replies?

I finally switched to Apple's Mail app 4 months ago after 12 years of using Eudora (because of the inevitable - that Lion or Mountain Lion, when I upgrade, will not support the foundation architecture that Eudora is built on).
There are (AT LEAST) two functions available in Eudora that I very much want to do with Mail and currently cannot figure out how to do. I'm hoping that someone knows of a plugin that will do these functions, or will write such a plugin, or will tell me how to make this suggestion to Apple to include in a future update.
1) I want the freedom to EDIT a received message - to correct a subject line, or make it more relevant for my reference, or add a key word/prefix to the subject for future searching and archiving, along with being able to edit the message itself, so that it is the equivalent in a book (or an eBook) of adding comments/marginalia for future reference. (In my opinion, once I receive an email message, it is MINE - so I should be able to do what I want with it (which includes the responsibility of not rewriting a message to resend to appear as deceptive or fraudulent).
2) Write up a draft email, that would reside in the "Send" folder of Eudora, and for which I could select a time in the future that it should be mailed (dependent on the fact that Eudora would be running at that time, else it would send the next time Eudora was opened. I would LOVE to be able to do that in Apple Mail. Rationale: Often, when I receive an actionable email, I want to respond at that moment while the subject is fresh, but due to priorities or scheduling reasons, I don't want the response to go out just then. Maybe I want the response to go out after an event three days from now, but I want to process the message right now, and I don't want to have to remember to make a ToDo item to remind me in 3 days.

Thanks, a brody.
That tip takes me further down the field. And, I am able to do stuff like indent and change font color of my comments which is very helpful.
However, the big disappointment is that by dragging the original message to the Draft mailbox and then back to the original one after the edits is that it removes the original sender's name and puts mine in along with changing the heading info on date and time. That is, it creates a new message, rather than allowing me to modify the original one to suit my needs.
All the same, this was a very helpful tip. Thanks again.
Anyone know of a plugin?..............or two?....

How can I edit iCal server addresses in Mountain Lion?
I keep getting an error message with my google calendar, and I heard that if I delete the extra slash at the end of the address the problem will be fixed. But the iCal account preferences take me to system preferences > accounts every time I want to edit the account.
Does anyone know where I can edit the server address?

You should ask in the iCloud forum, this is for iMacs. https://discussions.apple.com/community/icloud/icloud_on_my_mac

There is no solution here and you should already have known this as you replied to a thread all about this a few up from your own post and this stated the postition quite clearly and the question was answered.
Why do you ask the same question again? The first answer is not going to change just because you don't like it!!

How can you close an email after reading without either deleting it or saving it somewhere? I use AOL and it just goes to "old mail" after you have read the email.

How can you close an email in Apple iPad after reading it without deleting it. I use AOL and in their application it just goes to "old mail" after you have read it. In Apple's email it stays open. Very annoying.

You cannot actually close an email in the mail app on the iPad. You can tap on the drafts folder or any empty folder that you migh have when you are done reading the email and then the blank white window will appear in the mail app.
The mail app will always show emails otherwise. That is just the way that it works currently on the iPad.

Can you use multiple email addresses on the owa app?

Can you use multiple email addresses on the Microsoft OWA App?

You can do it but there is a delay from the bluetooth speaker. You'll need an iphone or ipad using the Apple app "Control", airplay setup, bluetooth speaker, and an Apple laptop or desktop.
I used my laptop to connect to my bluetooth speaker so that sound streams to my bluetooth device. Then, on my iphone I opened Control and connect the music to my airplay and my laptop at the same time. The music goes to your airplay speaker, and then to my laptop which then blue tooths it to my speaker. But, as I said the bluetooth takes an extra step to stream it and so the music is not in sync. Its like a second and a half delay....

Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:

Right-click or control-click the line and select

Relaunch the application and test. If there's no change, quit again and put the item you moved back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Otherwise, delete the item you moved.

from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

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.

Hello All,
In order to update your email address you'll need to private message me the following information.
Your Screen Name
The new email address that you would like to use.
I'll then have to put in a request to have your email address changed for each individual account.

How can I change Primary Email Address to icloud email?

I have an apple id been using for many years. I would like to change the primary email address. I would like to create a new icloud email address and use that as primary email for my apple id.
When I try to do this in the Manage Apple ID it says that I cannot pick an email address associate with apple domain.
How do I do this???
Essentially I would like to start over with an icloud email address but keep all my existing itunes purchases etc. If I create a new Apple ID with icloud email id I am hosed and cannot copy over my purchases. If I stay with existing Apple ID, I can change primary email address but I can't use icloud email.
Any suggestions??

While you can't currently change your Apple ID to a Mobile/iCloud email address, I found a solution that helps with a related problem.
Suppose you've recently got an iCloud email address, but Apple are still sending all your iTunes Store, App Store and Mac App Store receipts to your old gmail address (the one that's still your Apple ID). And suppose they're also sending all the Apple Support Communities notifcation emails to your old gmail address. How do you change it? How do you fix it?
Well the option exists, but it is hidden away in a weird place. To get Apple sending all of their receipts and notifications to your new iCloud email address...
• Go to your country's Apple Store website http://store.apple.com/
• Click on the Account button in the top-right corner
• Under Account Settings, click on Change your default shipping or billing info
• Sign in with your usual Apple ID and password
• The email address listed under Payment Information is the key
• Click on Edit next to Payment Information and change that email address to your iCloud address
That's all you have to do.

How do you bulk populate email address in OD?

I have a thousand or so current users in our OD and want to populate their email address (it doesn;t seem to get done on creation)
Email addresses are needed for auto emails in collab services
I don't know how to take a, say, csv file of user short names and related email addresses and have the records updated
Any ideas?

The email address(es) itself will be created automatically and will be based on the users shortname(s) when email is enabled for that account. However I suspect you are referring to the email address field on the Info tab in Workgroup Manager.
I did quite some time ago write a utility that amongst other things did auto-fill this field based either on the users fullname or shortname fields. However it broke when Mac OS X 10.5 was released. (It would be I am sure be fixable.)
My utility was basically a GUI front-end to the Unix command-line tool 'ldapmodify', the scenario you would need to follow would be to get a list of user accounts, specifically their shortnames, and then have a script that for each one executes an appropriate ldapmodify command. You would be basically 'modifying' the ldap field 'EMailAddress' and setting it to the appropriate value.
You can run 'man ldapmodify' in the Terminal.app to get more details on how to use this command.
For those unaware, Apple's Open Directory is based on OpenLDAP which in turn uses LDAP and hence it is possible to access and modify many fields in Open Directory via generic LDAP commands. It is similarly possible to link other server software to via standard LDAP to Open Directory to authenticate users.

How can i change Primary Email Address in apple ID.

You cannot change a *.mac, *.me or *.icloud email address - any Apple issued email address cannot be changed. Only non-apple issued primary email addresses are editable.
