How to delete address in mail

When you start typing an e-mail address in the address box in mail a selection of options shows in a drop down window based on the matching first few letter of addresses used in the past.
Is there a way to delete specific address and keep others.
Is there any way to change the order of the addresses that show in the drop down menu.
Any solutions welcome.

Thank you, Terence,
This helped me as well. I found by "control clicking" the 'bad' name/address - that will find and delete it sometimes, but frequently when you "control click" it - the option to remove from recipients list doesn't come up.
Your approach always works. Thank you,
Larry

  • Can't figure out how to delete addresses that autofill in the Mail To field

    Can't figure out how to delete addresses from the address book that will automatically fill in an address after typing a few letters of a name. Quite a few people have changed their email address but I sometimes inadvertenly choose an old address just because I can't delete it.
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Assuming you're using Apple Mail, you take those old addresses out of the Previous Recipients list. When in Mail, go to the Window menu, then Previous Recipients. Edit this list, it's everyone you've sent mail to, not just address book people.
    Alternatively, when composing a mail message and seeing those old addresses, you should be able to click & hold over the name and a list of actions should appear, including "remove from previous recipients list" if they are not in your address book.

    Hi Maquingo14,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on your exact situation or configuration. If you simply need to change the information in Messages, you should be able to do so in the Message Settings outlined in these articles:
    Messages settings - iPhone
    Send messages with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    If this is a used iPhone that still has the previous owner's information on it or associated with it, you may find it easier to simply reset it as a new device, as noted here:

  • How to delete folders on mail (iPhone 5)?

    I have an iPhone 5 and I use the mail application quite a lot, and I also like to sort my mail into folders after I have read it. I know how to create a new folder, but I don't know how to delete an old folder (I've been using the same email account for a few years now and a lot of my folders are organised into friends from my old school who I don't keep in touch with anymore). If I tap on an older folder and click delete, it just states there and doesn't delete. Please let me know if you know how to delete a folder.

    In the Mail app, start at the screen with Mailboxes at the top.
    Scroll down to Accounts and tap Yahoo.
    Tap Edit at the upper right.
    Tap the folder you want to delete, then Delete Mailbox.
    Confirm that's what you really want to do (it will erase all the messages within it) then Delete Mailbox.
    Tap Done at the upper right.

  • How to delete an e-mail account

    I've got on e-mail message in one of my accounts that's unformatted, ostensibly from the Boston Globe.  When the message is brought up to read, the Mail program crashes.  I can read and send other messages, but when I try to delete this message, the program crashes.  Anyone else have this experience?  I'm thinking maybe the easiest thing to do is delete this e-mail account and then re-add it.  How do I do that?

    You can delete an account by selecting the account in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and it should have a Delete Account button on it - you can then add it back via Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account
    Have you tried logging into the account via Safari and seeing if you can delete the email that way ?

  • How to delete all my mail

    Hello I'm trying to delete all my mail but I don't know how I holded command a and deleting all of them but they keep coming back please help

    It would be great if Apple included a select all option in the mail app but I imagine this would result in lots of people deleting all their email when they thought they were in their spam folder and were actually in their inbox so to protect us from our selves, Apple didn't offer this option.  I would love it myself, but as the other poster says, you need to do it on your computer in your web browser.

  • How to delete ALL e-mails from an account

    My husband, Edward, passed away several months ago.  I'm just now getting around to figuring out what he left "in the cloud".  I discovered yesterday that his Verizon.net e-mail account contains close to 30,000 e-mails.  I want to delete all of them, but Verizon segregates the e-mails into pages of 30 each, so when you click the page checkbox, then click Delete, it only deletes the 30 on that page.  That means I would have to repeat this 1,000 times, which I'm not about to do.  I can find no way to delete ALL e-mails.  Is there a way to do that?

    30 messages displayed is the default, but you can change that.  On your email page, under "settings" is an option to change the number of messages per page.  One  option is "no limit."

  • How to delete incorrect e-mail address from autofeed?

    If you are refering to AutoFill in Safari, it uses your contact info in the Contacts app. You will need to fix it there.

  • How to delete old e-mail addresses?

    Sorry if this has already been addressed...but since I can't search the forums right now.....
    I accidentally typed in an incorrect e-mail address for someone, and actually tried to use it a couple of times. I realized my mistake, and then corrected the e-mail address in my Contacts. Now, when I try to send an e-mail to Tom, when I start to type his name, it still gives me the option of choosing both the bad address, and the correct address. Does anyone know if there is a way to permanently erase the "bad" address? Again, the bad address is no longer anywhere in my contacts. Thanks in advance!

    I also have been looking for a way to do this. Calling iPhone support didn't yield any answers.

    All pretty much say the same thing. I know doing a restore would work, but that seems pretty overkill for a mistyped email address, right?
    On the other hand... if it gets rid of this frustration...

  • How to delete addresses from the pop-down list in the "To" line ?

    Several times I have entered someones's address incorrectly in my address book. When I correct it at some later time, the incorrect one still appears in the pop-down list when I start typing the name in the To: line. Sometimes I don't look closely and the old, incorrect address gets entered (and then I never hear back from the person!). So how do I delete the incorrect ones? I've tried everything I can think of.
    Thanks.
    John

    Those are probably coming from your previous recipients list.
    Open Mail, Click on Window, Previous Recipents, and delete any that you don't want.

  • How to delete address??

    I'm having trouble deleting an email address. I deleted the address in address book but whenever I type the name of the person into the "To" field in mail the persons old, deleted addres is inserted and I have to scroll down the list to find the new address. So how do I completely delete an address so it is gone forever.
    Mark

    OK I tried that but no luck. I deleted the address like you said but if I go to "new message" and start typing the name of the person the old address comes up again.
    This is frustrating!
