How do I delete my old BT email address

Hi, about 6 months ago, my BT email address started sending out spam to whole address book.  I deleted all my contacts, all my old emails, spoke to BT who informed me that my address would be deleted within a couple of months! But it hasn't been, as I received a spam email from  this address yesterday.  How do I go about deleting this address.  Any help would be gratefully received.

It is more likely that the email address has been spoofed rather than it sending the emails. If your account was previously hacked all your contacts addresses will have been harvested by the hackers and they are now free to use them anytime they want. Presumably you have told your contacts to treat anything from that email address as spam and to bin it. If not you should do that now.
See link about spoofing.

  • How do I delete my iCloud home email address account?

    How do I delete my iCloud home email address account?

    If you want to migrate your data to a new iCloud account, start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll.  If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud), provide the password to turn off Find My iDevice and choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted.  Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data.

  • I have deleted an old yahoo email address that i no longer use. It keeps coming up on my sign in box on my iPhone 5 for iCloud sign in. How do I get rid of it and get iCloud to use my current email?

    How do I delete an old email address from iCloud?

    You will need to visit appleid.apple.com to manage your Apple ID. From there, you can log in with your existing credentials and then change your registered email addresses.
    This is also where you can update your physical address, phone number, security questions, etc.
    Hope this helps!

  • How can I use my old MobileMe email address if I did not migrate to icloud by the deadline?

    I had a mobile me account that I did not migrate to icloud.  Now when I try and set up an icloud account using the old mobileme email address, it says that address is already in use. I then try and access it but the password doesn't work and it says mobileme is closed. When I try and reset the password, it says an email has been sent to the email on file...which is an old mobileme address that I cannot access.
    How can I get this email address set up in icloud? 

    Nice idea - I tried it but it doesn't seem to work (at least not for me).
    So here are the details in case, you can spot something more I could do....
    When MobileMe was live
    MobileMe ID was [email protected]
    AppleID (to make iTunes purchases) was [email protected]
    When iCloud went live (and MM was still alive)
    iCloud account was created based upon AppleID - [email protected]
    iCloud would not create [email protected] as was already in use (by me)
    iCloud would not merge [email protected] as iCloud does not merge
    MobileMe migration to iCloud option was not taken
    Deleted all data out of MobileMe account (mail, calendar, contacts, gallery)
    Deleted MobileMe mail account off of all devices
    When MM died
    I received notification that I had not migrated my MM account
    iCloud was happily working as Contacts/Calendar sharer using my AppleID of [email protected]
    Weeks later on Mac running 10.8
    System Preference - iCloud, already logged in with AppleID of [email protected]
    Then ticked the untick Mail box
    Long wait with small grey whirling cog box, stating "Loading". Eventually a BLANK message box with OK which then disappeared on a timeout.
    System Preference - Mail...  Re-added [email protected] (now picked up as iCloud account)
    Mail - Accounts.... Re-added [email protected] BUT got message "Mail can'y connect to the account..."
    So tried logging into www.icloud.com (using AppleID of [email protected] where my contacts/calendar now reside).  Clicked on Mail icon and received "@me.com Address Needed" message

  • How can I delete an old exchange email account

    I have a new iPad Air. I restored it from a backup of my old iPad 3. My work exchange email account came with it but does not work. When I followed the procedures my work support provided I found a new email account was created with the same name.  I tried to delete the old exchange account but there is no DELETE option.  I checked and I have no restrictions enabled.  I was able to make the old exchange account inactive by turning off mail/contacts/calendar/reminders.
    Please advise on how to delete this account.
    Thanks in advance
    Environment:
    IOS 7.0.3
    iPad Air 128GB WiFi only

    Brendan, thanks for your reply.  Unfortunately neither of these helped.  There are no checkboxes ticked for Safari (and I only use Firefox, generally) and I am able to sign in after signing off.  But when I go to sign in here I get the [email protected] filled in as in the attached.  And I have been using [email protected] as my defsult email and also my Apple ID user name since before there was an iCloud.  So what now?

  • Security questions forgotten and how to sent to an old cancelled email address

    can remember answers to security questions and the info to recover is sent to a non-existent or cancelled address

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • How can I delete an old iCloud account for which I do not remember the password?  The email address linked to that account is no longer active.

    The email linked to that account is no longer active.  How can I delete this old account and use a new one?

    Although your profile says you're running iOS 5.1.1 it sounds like you're running iOS 7 (otherwise you would not need your password to delete the old account).  Assuming that's true, and your iCloud ID has changed but you need to delete the old account in order to change to your new one, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • I am trying to update my apps but my Apple id is an old one that isn't active,  How do I delete the old apple id and use the new id which is my current email address

    I am trying to update my apps and get new apps but my apple ID listed is an old inactive email address.  How do I change it to my new email address?  The new email address is in settings and is on my apple account.  The only place the old one shows up is in the apps store - installing and updating.  What do I do?

    Apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them whether you are using the Apple ID for new purchases or not.  All future updates will require the password for this original Apple ID.  This can't be changed.  The only way to stop this would be to delete these apps from your phone and iTunes library and repurchase them using your current ID.

  • I created my Apple ID in Ireland, but would now like to switch to a German Apple ID, keeping the same email address. How do I delete my old Irish Apple ID, so I can create a new German one with the same email?

    I created my Apple ID in Ireland, but would now like to switch to a German Apple ID, keeping the same email address. How do I delete my old Irish Apple ID, so I can create a new German one with the same email?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Click on your account name in the top right corner of the iTunes store in the iTunes application on your computer, enter your password and click the "view account" button. Navigate to the Apple ID summary where you have the option to "change country or region".
    In order to change your location, you will need a credit card registered to an address in the location you are trying to change to.
    You cannot change your location if you have credit on your account, if you are unable to spend your credit and leave a balance of zero, contact Apple, which you can do through iTunes Store Support.
