How to delete obsolete email addresses for automatic messaging?

I have two addresses for a contact, one correct (JohnDoe @gmail.com) and one incorrect (JohnDoe @gmail.net). I have corrtected John Doe's contact information. However, when I enter the name John Doe for the Sent To, I still get both email address for John Doe. mostlikely held in memory for automatic messaging. I want to get the wrong email address from showing up as a choice. How do I do this?
I assume automatic messaging is holding the wrong email address in memory.

I can't figure out how to delete and email address for someone that is no longer valid.

I can't figure out how to delete an email address that is no longer valid.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

I have deleted one email address from Address Book, and it is gone in the address book. However when I start an email to this person, that deleted email address still shows up as a choice below the current email address of this person. How do I delete the old email address from this location?
Thanks to someone who can answer this

Eva, I found where the previous recipient information is actually stored, unfortunately I don't have a solution yet though.
Mail's "previous recipients" list is actually stored in ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/AddressBook.data. However, as the name suggests this is actually where all your Address Book information is stored. Deleting the file AddressBook.data got rid of my entire Previous Recipients list, unfortunately it deleted my entire Address Book as well. Dragging the file back to the Application Support folder caused every Address Book entry to be duplicated... so I don't recommend this strategy
I reverted to an Address Book backup to set things right again.
So it would appear your mystery addresses are probably in the AddressBook.data file, unfortunately I still don't know how to excise the ones you don't want.

An obsolete email address for me keeps coming up when I select a "contact us" address in Firefox. How do I get it to default to my new email address?

When I am looking at a website and go to the "contact us" tab, the blank email that comes up always has an obsolete email address for me (which is in Thunderbird). I have been unable to delete it. How can I fix this so the blank email that comes up defaults to my new email address?

See the section about '''using web mail services''' at the bottom of this article.

How do I delete obsolete email addresses from the "to:" line. All of the addresses a person has had show up. I only want the correct one to be displayed.

I would like to delete obsolete email addresses from appearing in the Address line of my outgoing email. My address book only has the current email address of each person. Why does the old addresses appear?

Check Window > Previous Recipients for that user name and see if the old addresses are there. If they are delete them.

Mail: How to delete an email address in the "To" field that is no longer valid

How to delete an email address that is no longer valid but still appears as an option when typing that person's name in the field "To"; in MS Outlook this simply works by deleting that email address in the field "To" or "Cc" or "Bcc". The old, non-valid email address has been deleted in the address book and replaced by a new valid email address. When typing in the "To" field both email addresses appear as an option. Is it possible to achieve that only the valid email address is offered as an option so to avoid any confusion.

well, when the "false" address is in the "to" field, you should see a littl' arrow pointing down and a "remove from previous recipients list.
It should fix the problem. (and so, only keep the "good one"
(oops, too late)

How to delete an email address in Mail

A friend of mine has just changed his email address but I cannot remove his old one from Mail. I have added his new address and removed the old one from my Address book but his old address still comes up as the default when starting a new email to him.
Any ideas would be appreciated...Cheers...

Biggest apologies thought I was writing about iOS!?
Am I also wrong about that too in iOS?

It appears because your mail app remembers a history of addresses.
It cannot be deleted but I think it will disappear after a certain time.

hi Guys, i mistakenly synced my iphone and all my email contacts appears in my contacts list. its mixed up. can someone please assist me on how to delete the email address ONLY?

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.

You can't delete either the account or the email address. If you are getting messages to it you don't want to see, go to http://icloud.com and to the Mail page: click on the cogwheel icon at bottom left and choose 'Rules'. Then set up a Rule to move all messages to your address to the Trash.

How to delete double email address's

I changed an email address in my contacts but the old email address and the new email address comes up when using mail. How do you deleted the old email address so it never comes up again on the iPad mail.

I'm having the same issue too. Would love to know how to remove those extra/unwanted email addresses from the cache too.
This issue has nothing to do with the Contact app. If you received an email from someone who is not on your Contact list and when you replied to that person, next time his email address will automatically saved in your iPad memory and I'm trying to get rid of it but can't seems to find a way to do it. For your info, this address does not appear anywhere in my Contact list.
Let me give an example. If I received an email from [email protected] and I if replied, this email address will be in my iPad memory even though I switches off or soft reset my iPad.
Now If I have a friend email [email protected] in my Contact, and if i go into my email app and pressed "T", [email protected] and [email protected] will both appeared under the drop down list. The question is, how can I get [email protected] off my iPad for good?
I believe KiwiAdventure is having this same issue as me too. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

How to delete zombie email address

How can you delete zombie email address and contacts that only show up when looking for an address when emailing.

I think the OP was asking about the "auto fill" zombie email addresses. If this is the case, they are not even in the address book to delete, they are suggested as you type. If this is the case, as of right now there is no way to delete these one by one. Hopefully an iOS update will allow this, as this is an old issue. If they are truly bothering you, the "zombie apocolypse" is to restore as a new device, not using one of your backups, but then you've lost all your old data, so the cure is worse than the disease.

How to configure dynamic email address for notification

All,
I have a problem in assigning dynamic email address for notification activity in a bpel process, I want to assign a user from a user-properties file. How do I achieve this. I tried using the users in System-jazn-data.xml file, but if i add a email attribute to the existing users it doesn't show up. I am sure there should be an easier way of using identity service and adding attributes to the jazn realm user, I might be missing something.
I cannot have it as part of the payload the only way is to use identity service.
Thanks,
Chitra

Hi James,
Thanks for the reply. Its solved now. For anybody if interested you can set the dynamic email address either i) having it as part of payload - In this case use the xpath to query the payload varaible ii) use identity service - follow the following steps
1.Create a user in Application enterprise manager/also you can use a existing account, if u are creating a new one assign the correct role
2. In either case edit the user-properties.xml(bpel/system/services/config) file for the corresponding user and add an attribute called email
3. Bounce the server for this changes to take effect
4. In the notification properties in the to address use ids:getUserProperty and pass the attribute name

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 to create another email address for my Wife?

I might be over thinking this but how do I create another email address for my wife? I can't find where to do that? I found the alias email but not just a regular email. Please help someone:)
Thanks so much,
Scott

Hello Scott.
If this is in reference to creating a .Mac email only account for your wife, you don't so this via the Mail program. This is done via webmail access for your .Mac account preferences.
An .Mac account alias is free but an alias address cannot be accessed as a separate account because an alias isn't an account.
A .Mac email only account cost $10 per year and can be accessed as separate account.
