How do I get old email addresses to stop popping up on my iPhone?

When typing email, if I am typing an address for someone who has since had a new address, the old address still pops up as an option when prepopulating suggestions. For instance, if my old address was [email protected] and is now [email protected], the old one pops up as an option as well from the suggestions. The old one has since been long deleted from all my computers but it won't go away. I thought it was only me but two friends asked if I knew how to stop this problem so I see it's common. Any ideas? Thanks

Some people consider this a feature on the phone, others a PIA. The only way to permanently remove this info from coming up is to restore your phone as a "new" device & then re-sync your itunes content. You'll have to decide if its worth going through all of that or just living with it.

How to remove the old email address that was hacked from my iCloud account when iCloud won't let me?

How to remove the old email address that was hacked from my iCloud account when iCloud won't let me?
Pretty much the the email that I used (but didn't verify) to create my iCloud account was hacked and now I can't remove it from my iCloud account due to the iCloud password also being changed by the same person and the fact I had "Find my iPhone" app on my phone also??? I had to change my iTunes email as well but that was far easier so yeah :S.
Please help. I live in NZ, out in the country, so reception is rare and so is getting into the nearest town that has an Apple Store.
Thanks

If you truly change your existing Apple ID's email address to a new email address, follow these instructions: iOS 7: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
If you created a whole new Apple Account because you couldn't access the old one after being hacked, you will need to contact the Apple Account Security Team. Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security

How do I get my email address recently changed on my account in iTunes on my MacBook Pro to show up on the sign-on notice on my iPad (4th gen)?

How do I get my email address recently changed on my account in iTunes on my MacBook Pro to show up on the sign-on notice on my iPad (4th gen)? It reflects my old email address and therefore won't recognize my password. When I try to do something on the App Store on my iPad, it brings up a notice to sign on, which reflects the old email address, and rejects my password since the username/email address is no longer correct. Puzzled!

I have another question for the community. My daughter tells me that my texts to her show my primary email address as the account name of the sender (me) when I text her, rather than my cell phone number from which I'm texting her. I've had others report that to me too. How do I turn that off so that recipients see my cell phone number displayed as the sending party and not my email address? Thanks -

It is referring to purchases made using an Apple ID that was set with that email as the Apple ID. Did you simply create a new Apple ID when the old email address was no longer being used? If so, then that old Apple ID is still tied (and will always be tied) to the purchases made with it, and you will have to sign into iTunes with that Apple ID in order to authorize the computer to it.
If you don't remember the password for it, you can go to Manage your Apple ID and click on Reset password. If you don't remember the answers to your Security Questions, you can contact Apple Support to get them reset:

How do I get my emails to download both on my iMac and iPhone the same?

I have recently got an iPhone 5. I also use Mail on my iMac computer. How do I get my emails to download both on my iMac and iPhone, the same? (If I currently fetch my emails on the iPhone, then they don't then appear later when I want them on my iMac and I need to forward them to myself again - crazy!) And can I also receive sent emails on both too? I need identical email lists on both. Thank you, in anticipation!

If you are using POP email accounts, this is how they are designed to work. POP mail gets offloaded from the mail server onto the device used to access it, so it will not show up on another client later as it literally no longer is stored on the server. It may be possible for you to configure your POP mail account to keep messages on the server, so they will always appear every time you access your mail (from any device). The downside of this is that most POP accounts have limited online storage, and the messages will never disappear until you manually delete them, so if you are not very diligent at cleaning out read mail, you run the risk of your account filling up.
Really, for what you want, you should switch to an IMAP mail service. IMAP mail is always stored on the server, not on any one client/device, so it is always accessible from any client on any device. Given that, most IMAP accounts have much larger online storage than most POP accounts, since the mail is intended to stay on the server.
Check with your email provider and see if you can switch your account(s) over to IMAP. If not, there are a number of free IMAP providers, such as gmail from google.

How to delete an old email address from an Apple ID

We have a number of iPads, iPhones, iPods etc. These all share the same Apple ID. In the past I used an email address from BT which I no longer have access to and have forgotten the password to. We now have an active Apple ID which I have used for this iPad. I have tried to reset this iPad but it will not allow me to or to delete and update the iCloud backup as it asks for the old BT internet Apple ID password, even though the iPad is logged in with the new active one. Please advise how I can delete the old account from the iPad.

If the old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, temporarily recreated the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, 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 iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished 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.

How to access my old email address

i have just changed to btinternet from orange, I was told I could use my old email address, but I cannot access in btyahoo. l have also changed my computer which uses windows 7 that seems not to support outlook express which I was using to access my emails. I have tried using Windows Live mail, but still cannot access my emails. I have opened orangehome.co.uk & my emails are still coming into that account

Hi. Welcome to the forums.
My apologies, but it's not clear what particular email address you're having problems with - is it the BTinternet email address ?
Win7 doesn't use OE, but as you've found out you can use Windows Live Mail, and there are other mail client programs you can use such as Thunderbird, Opera and many other free ones.
The old Orange email address can be accessed in BTYahoo (webmail), but you need to got through a verification setup in order to access it via that method. However Windows Mail is possibly the best method.
However the Orange email address may well expire after a period of time, and eventually be cancelled. It may not allow for pop3 access - in other words not be access from something like Windows Mail.
If you are unable to send orange emails within Windows Mail, that's because you are on a different ISP and need to got through address verificaton (see my shortcuts option 0e). However this does need a working BTinternet email address.
If the problem is the Orange email through Windows Mail, then you need to make sure that you have the correct settings in order to receive the emails. Can you check the pop3/smtp servers in the Windows Mail account ?
Apologies if I've got a little technical and some jargon speak.

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.
