How send SMS to email address - can't fnd "@"

On my other phones I have had I can specify an email address as the recipient of an SMS message. I can't figure out how to do that on the iPhone if the recipient's email address is not already saved as my contacts, mainly because I cannot find the symbols like @ and . that are needed for an email address. I would like to know how to type in an email address on the fly in the "To" of an SMS message.
Thanks!

Also to clarify a bit more. Your old phone actually never did send a SMS to an email address. SMS can only go to numbers (phone numbers or special numbers like American Idol uses for voting). That is just how the protocol works.
What your old phone did was mix SMS and MMS together and allowed you to enter an email because MMS allows email addresses. Thus you were really sending an MMS (even if you didn't include a picture and just put text).
So, this is why the iPhone since the SMS app is just for SMS only allows the characters it allows for the SMS protocol. If you want to send to an email address, you will have to use your email program.

You might want to try contacting Apple for assistance by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click See All Products and Services>iTunes>iTunes Store>Passwords & Security Questions>Lost or Forgotten Apple ID password. They should be able to explain what's going on and help you reset the password for the old ID if necessary. The call should be free.

My outlook is sending two invites in the icloud calandar. How can I stop this? I ony want the email send with my email address not the apple email

My MS outlook on the PC is sending two invites in the icloud calandar. How can I stop this? I ony want the email send with my email address not the apple email.

My phone is the 4. Not the 4s. And I went there but it's nowhere the option to delete from server.
I only see: ask before deleting and it's on.

I can't figure out how to delete and email address for someone that is no longer valid.

I can't figure out how to delete an email address that is no longer valid.

Assuming that this is on your iOS device, then you can change a contact's details via the Contacts app. If it's not linked to one of your contacts then I get a blue 'i' to the right of the email address on the popup list :
Tapping on that gives me a second popup, at the bottom of which is :

Can someone please help me figure out how to "clear" recent email addresses used in Mail?

Can someone please help me figure out how to “clear” recent email addresses used in Mail? For example, as I begin typing a name/email address in the “To:” field, Mail begins suggesting addresses that I’ve previously used. I don’t want any suggestions unless they are in my contacts.
Another example: When using MS Outlook, it will also remember and suggest email accounts previously used, but I can arrow down and delete an account from the list so it won’t automatically popup or suggest in the future.
I appreciate any guidance in this matter.

The iOS email app stores all email recipients in a list of previous recipients which cannot be turned off. The email address autofill feature when addressing an email pulls from contacts and from the list of previous recipients which can't be prevented. There is no option to clear the list of previous recipients - not at the present time anyway.
If you don't want any suggestions, select from contacts instead when addressing an email.

Don't understand your problem... Contacts sync with a compatible address book or cloud service. Contact records can contain names, addresses, phone numbers, e-mail addresses, notes, or any combination of these. If you have records you don't want in your address book that you don't want in your contacts, then segregate them into groups in your address book and only sync the group(s) you want. If you don't want them there at all, then delete them.

HT201320 How do I find email addresses set up on iPods?

How do I find previous, or old, email addresses that are using an iPod to send /receive mail?

Maybe here:
Is there a way to find my Apple ID Name if I can't remember it?
Yes. Visit My Apple ID and click "Find out." See How to find your Apple ID if you'd like more information.
Otherwise I really do not understand your question. Anyone who knows the password associated with an email address can setup a device/log in on webmail and send and receive email for that account.

I have changed my apple I'd primary email account yet when I try to buy things from the App Store it keeps showing the previous email address- can any one advise why?

I have changed my apple I'd primary email account and saved the changes yet when I try to buy from the App Store it still lists the old email address- can anyone advise how to fix this?

What id shows at the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app ? If it's the old email address that you had on your account then try tapping on it and log out of your account and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on the iPad.

Site mailbox and EWS 'Email address can't be found' error

Company I work for has sharepoint 2013 in the cloud as long as exchange (both cloud and on prem)
I have been writing some applications using C# and Exchange EWS to access site mailboxes to do things with email.
Out of the 3 site boxes we created, 2 work just fine but the 3rd just keeps saying 'Email address can't be found'
we can get into the site box through sharepoint, we can send emails to it no problem and we can send emails from it. any ideas why this box doesn't show while the others do? the 3rd box does show up in search lists (say adding it as a delegate)

all in the cloud.
they all end in the same domain.
I can use my on prem credentials to hit some but not the one. I can use a service account to hit the same ones but not the one through code.

How to Validate Multiple email address in spry?

How to validate multiple email address in spry framework?
Spry validate text field can validate one email address only,
if I the text field is for multiple emails, how can I validate
it?

Hello Jackson,
The Spry Textfield was designed to work with the normal work
flows that people currently use in most of the forms on the web. We
tried to prevent any email injection method in the forms therefore
the validation was designed to stop any multiple email insertion.
In case you want to insert multiple emails you'll have to
disable the default email validation and create your own validation
function, more flexible. You can see a
sample
we did for the custom validation trying to validate a password
strength and confirm the password.

trying to rent movie from Apple TV. Message states a valid address is necessary to purchase. We have purchased about 15 show in the last month along. Any suggestion on how to update valid email address.

I got the same error and can't get it to work. My email and home address have not changed in the 3 years I've been using this device, my credit card info is up to date and my most recent rental was 2 days ago yet I get the error message on both the Apple TV and in iTunes. I don't understand what the issue is, nothing is invalid.

HT201269 How to change the email address associated with an iPhone account?

How to change the email address associated with an iPhone account? I inherited my son's phone and it still shows his phone number even though I can add my own email account. My iCloud is also associated with his phone number.

If you mean you want to change the iCloud ID your phone is signed into on your phone (which looks like an email address), you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.
If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, and your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, go 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 on your device, 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.
