How do I delete old email addresses that pop up in the log?  A few have childhood nicknames that appear on the To line of an email.  I need to change them to grownup names.  How do I edit that log?

How do I delete (or edit) the email addresses that show up on the log of prior sent items?  Several of the names are for childhood nicknames, and I need to have them updated to show adults--e.g., no more "Susie," but now should be "Susan."  How do I edit (or delete and start over) with this log of outgoing addressees?

You can edit in Contacts.app. After editing, delete the contact in Previous Recipients
Under Window in the Menu bar when Mail is open, select Previous Recipients.

  • How to delete old email address

    Every time I have a new mail and in the box To: I search for that specific name to find the email address, appear always a bunch of old addresses which are not valid anymore of course including latest. Is possible to delete old one, is quite annoying and confusing.
    Also if I copy and paste from somewhere else an address and send a new mail, I cannot use right click of the mouse to paste it but works only with usual shortcut cmd-V, why this ?
    Thanks

    Yes, you can delete old email addresses you do not use anymore by going to Mail>Window>Previous Recipient and selecting which old email addresses you want removed.
    hope this helps.

  • 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 to delete old emails quickly?

    How to delete old emails quickly?

    If you have an IMAP account (eg, Gmail) that another computer also has access to, or that you have webmail access for, the quickest way is probably to delete them on that computer rather than the iPad. If you must delete them directly from the iPad, you can click Edit at the top of the screen, highlight the emails that you want to delete (click the box at the left of each) then click Delete at the bottom.

  • My iCloud is defaulting to an old Hotmail address that I no longer use, my apple ID is currently functioning fine with a gmail account.  I'm not able to change my iCloud email on my phone or on desktop... Any advice?

    My iCloud is defaulting to an old Hotmail address that I no longer use, my apple ID is currently functioning fine with a gmail account.  I'm not able to change my iCloud email on my phone or on desktop... Any advice?

    You would have to change your Apple ID back to your old hotmail address (https://appleid.apple.com ) in order to turn off "Find My iPhone" and change the iCloud ID. After you changed it back and verified your old hotmail address you should be able turn off "Find My iPhone" and to temporarily delete your iCloud account from your devices. After that you can change your Apple ID back to your gmail address again. After it is verfied, you could add back your iCloud account by using your gmail address.

    The "LocalAccount" is "On My Mac" and doesn't correspond to an account on a mail server. That all I can tell you from the information provided.

  • Delete old email address from cache on a MAC

    Has there been a solution to delete old email addrss from the cache on a MAC?  I'm not talking about iPhone or iPad devices.  The last discussion on this topic was back in 2012 and it doesn't look as if this was resolved.
    Bottom line, when you create an email on the mac, the auto fill pulls up every email address for an individual (current or not).  The correct email address are in the contacts, but the cache is storing the really old address.
    Suggestions are welcome.

    Apart from the AddressBook, email addresses are also kept under 'Previous Recipients' in Mail, in the Window menu.

  • After deleting an email address from Contacts is there any way of preventing it from popping up in the To: field of Mail when one starts to type in a contact name.

    After deleting an email address from Contacts is there any way of preventing it from popping up in the To: field of Mail when one starts to type in a contact name?

    if you are not on ios 6, then all you can do is wait.  if you have deleted the address from your contact list, then it will live on for a while in your 'recently used' addresses.  as you use new addresses, those older ones fall down the list, and eventually fall off altogether  (unless you use them again).  Have patience, it will go away.
    Or do the update....

  • HT203180 How can I delete old rental movies that are still on my iPad, but no longer viewable?

    How can I delete old rental movies that are still on my iPad, but are no longer viewable because the rental has expired?

    I have a similar problem.  The default answer on the web is to open Videos on your iPad, then touch and hold the movie you wish to delete, then tap the little cross that appears. Alternatively, you can connect to iTunes, select your device in the list, scroll down to the Rentals summary and delete from there.
    I have a problem with both of these solutions!  The Video App on my iPad does not contain any video icons, just an option to browse my shared library, so I can't delete it from there... ANd in iTunes, the movie in the Rntals tab on my device summary is greyed out, so I can't do anything from there either.  But the movie is taking up 2.5 Gb....
    Can someone please offer an alternative to resetting the device entirely?!
