How do I remove an email address from the imessge in settings?

When i sent an imessage to one of my contacts who is also an owner of the iphone, she says that I am sometimes sending it via email.  I went into settings and then to messages and I have 2 addresses, one of them is my email address.  I now want to remove my email address as it  seems to be causing me problems.  How do I remove my email address?  I am aware that i touch "Receive At" which has 2 addresses, but I am wanting to remove the email address but nothing is happening.  Help!

You're welcome.
If that email address is your Apple ID, I don't believe you can delete it.
If you have your cell phone number selected as your Caller ID, when sending an iMessage it will be sent from your phone number.
Since your Apple ID email address is registered as well, if someone has your email address in their contacts, they can select your email address to send you an iMessage in addition to your phone number.
When this recipient says you are sometimes sending an iMessage via email, it is received as an email with the Mail app on their iPhone, not with the Messages app?

  • How can I remove my email address from the lock screen?

    How do I remove my email address from the lock screen? My dad bought me a new laptop after mine was stolen from my house on New Year's Eve. I'm a little tighter on my security now and when I turn on my laptop the lock screen shows me my name and my email
    address. If my laptop gets stolen again, I don't want my email address to be displayed for someone to use or sell as I'm extremely picky about what I'm giving out my email for. If there isn't a way to hide my email address, I'm going to demand a "downgrade"
    from this Windows 8 s**t and back to the more user-friendly and less confusing Windows 7. (And for the record, I hate Windows 8. With a passion.)

  • How can I remove an email address from one apple account and associate it with another?

    I created an appleID account to use with the mac AppStore without realising i previously had an appleID account from my first iPod touch.
    Now with OSX 10.8 I want to use the email address from the old account with the new account for Messages.app without having to manage 2 logins.
    I've followed the steps found on the support page http://support.apple.com/kb/HE68 under the section "How to add an additional email address that is already associated with another Apple ID" but each time I attempt to add the removed email address from the new account to the old account the input box shows the error: Email address is already verified for another Apple ID.
    Has anyone else experienced this problem and found a solution?

  • How can I copy an email address from the form results while online?

    Our form contains a field where the users submitted their email address.  But I am not able to mouse over this data in the "View Responses" tab, and copy the email address by selecting the email address and Ctrl C, and neither can I right-click this data field and copy it.
    Our organization just switched to Microsoft Office 365, and "mailto" links on web pages can no longer be clicked to launch a native desktop email client program.  So the users tasked with responding to forms submitted via Formscentral now have a much harder workflow.  They are compelled to download the data as a spreadsheet, just to be able to cut and paste an email address into their reply email.
    I suggest and request that the Flash-based "View Responses" tab be modified to allow email addresses to be selectable and able to be  copied to the "clip board".  This would allow users who can't execute a clickable mailto link to copy and paste the email address from Formscentral into a new email.  Many organizations like mine are moving away from native client-based email programs like Outlook to save money,  in favor of cloud based SAS web-based email like Office 365.
    Is there some other way to enable mailto links where no client email program is installed on the users PC?
    Thanks,
    -Dave Bartholomew

    While I am still looking for a better answer, I've discovered a way to cut and paste email addresses from the FormsCentral "View Responses" dashboard.  I wrote up the instructions to help our users and thought I'd share them in this forum as well.
    But it would be nice if there was a simpler solution...  Can anyone offer a better way?

    ) Right-click on the email address
    ) Select “Filter by: …”  Doing this will change the view to show only entries that were sent from the selected email address.
    ) And it will display the Filter in the header of the form.
    ) Left-click on the email address displayed in the filtered results, in the header of the form.
    ) A new sub-form will appear, and the email address can be cut and pasted from this new sub-form.  Highlight the email address and hit “Ctrl C”, or right-click and select copy.
    ) Now you can paste the email address into a new email in Office 365. (Ctrl V) or right-click and select “Paste”
    ) Click the “Clear” button and then “OK” to exit the filtered view of the data.

  • How do I remove an email address from a workflow notification?

    Hi, I was wondering if you could help me please. Can you tell me how to remove an old email address from a workflow notification? The person's name and email address have already been removed from the list of Users in the Admin area, but some workflow notifications are still being sent to their email. Any ideas?
    Many thanks for your help.

    Thanks Liam, I'd previously looked at the also notify field and it didn't show any other email addresses. This time I clicked on the second of my two options in the Workflow Steps field, and then clicked back on the first one  again, and hey presto, two email addresses appeared! The offending email address has now been removed.
    Thanks again for your help. Cheers!

  • How do I remove an email address from my icloud memory?

    I would like to remove an address from my icloud memory? For example I will type in the first two letters and icloud automatically brings up that email address.
    How do I remove it or lose it?

    If you haven't already removed the email address from your contacts in cloud, you may want to start there.  If that doesn't work, then you may be out of luck.  Unfortunately, smartphones remember things we don't want them to :-(

  • 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
    Morgan

    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.

  • How do I remove an email address from an account?

    Every time I turn my iphone off and on again, it asks me to log into icloud and other apps that I set up with an old email address. That old email address has now been removed from my itunes account and replaced, and I no longer use the old one at all. However, when I go into my itunes account, it doesn't say anything about my old email address still being on there. How do I remove my old email from icloud without losing my apps or my current itunes account details?

    Just what did you do? There is only one email address for one Apple ID but yo can have an alternate email address to use to contact Apple.

  • How to remove an email address from the spam filter?

    Hi, my bank has this service of sending me an email each time I perform a transaction. But for some reason, Mail always marks these messages as spam. I’ve been marking tehm as “not spam” for months, but Mail never “learns” this and keeps marking them as spam. The same happens on the iCloud webmail, where I’ve been also marking them as “not spam” for a long time.
    Can anyone help me with tips or suggestions on how to fix this?
    Thanks, Vlad.

    Put the address in your Address Book. In Preferences > Junk Mail check "Sender of message in in my Address Book" to exempt it from Junk filtering.

  • How do I remove an email address from AutoFill WITHOUT RESTORING?

    A few years ago, I accidentally typed an email address with a "." in it, and ever since, I keep sending emails to the wrong address.
    I've removed it off of my Hotmail account etc, but the iPhone keeps remembering it as autofill, and it shows up before the real email address.
    Because I did this shortly after I bought the phone, I cant restore back to that date, and I'm absolutely not willing to restore the phone.
    There has to be a setting, or file somewhere on the phone that can be deleted?
    (perhaps access it through my Mac/Windows?)

    You can "try' editing the cache that stores this data using something like this:

    Otherwise, you restore as new.
