How to delete sender's old email address

Using Mail, Smart addresses picks the old email address even though I've edited Address Book and put in the new one.

Try this: click Previous Recipients under the Window menu in Mail and edit the addresses.

  • Have searched Forums for quite some time now. Cannot find a correct answer to: how do I prevent my old email address from appearing as the "from:" address

    Have searched Forums for quite some time now. Cannot find a correct answer to: how do I prevent my old email address from appearing as the "from:" address when I use a "send this" link on a webpage/news article. The email window opens and automatically inserts my old Hotmail address instead of the Yahoo address I've used for a long time. (The drop-down won't let me change it or delete it.) Thanks.

    Do you get a drop down list with suggestions if you clear that "from" field and click elsewhere on that page to move the focus off that field and then double-click again in that field or start typing the first letters of that unwanted email address?
    Use these steps to remove saved (form) data from a drop down list:
    #Click the (empty) input field on the web page to open the drop down list
    #Highlight an entry in the drop down list
    #Press the Delete key (on Mac: Shift+Delete) to remove it.

    Welcome to the Apple community mohinderjeet.
    If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID.
    This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
    However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

    How do I remove an old email address from my apple ID account?

    Depending upon the address (some Apple addresses can't be removed) then you may be able to remove it by logging into the account via the 'manage your apple id' link on http://appleid.apple.com

  • How can i change my old email address to my new email address

    how can i change my old email address to my new email address need help please everything i try want work

    Go to Settings>Store>Apple ID, tap the ID shown, sign out, sign back in with the new ID.  However, app updates for your apps purchased with your older ID will always ask for the password for this ID.  (Apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them.)

  • How can I combine a old email address to a new mail address

    Had to change email address.
    But when i bay books on the new mail the old ones i can not read 
    I am getting a message" Document is licensed for a different user account"
    Any ideas how to over come this

    This subject comes up often, and if you do some searching on the Forum,
    you'll see a lot of different comments.  The bottom line, though, is that
    the ebooks are not transferrable from your old email address to the new
    one.  If the ebooks were purchased, there's a chance that you can go back
    to the seller and discuss the situation with them, and they may give you
    another download to your new email address.  If the ebooks are in the
    public domain, you can go back and download them again to your new email
    address.

  • How do I get an old email address off my apple ID sign in?

    I recently upgraded my emac and now i photo wants me to upgrade but when I get to Apple Id there is an old email address and I can't seem to get by it.
    I have reset password with a my current email address but the apple ID sign in screen still has the old email.
    Actually I've reset it twice but the old email address still shows up

    Was that old email address your old AppleID? Did you use it to purchase those apps?
    If so, that is normal. AppleID's and the content purchased with them are not transferrable.
    Use the password for that AppleID to update those apps.

  • How do i remove an old email address listed under gmail in the default calendar window?  The 'edit' calendar pop up doesnt let me change or edit the old address?

    Hi,  I am tryingto remove an old email address that appears in my Calendar under 'show calendars'.  It appears under a Gmail label.  The edit button only allows me to turn on the gmail (with the incorrect email address) and the iCloud and Birthdays options. It does not allow me to change to email address from the old, incorrect email to the new one.  The new one I use is correctly shown in the Gmail account under the Mail, Contacts, Calendar settings.
    Any ideas.

    If I start an email to John Doe. I type in his name and if I look at the drop down menu when I click his name, it will offer several options, including "open in address book". Makes sense. He is already there.
    But some names, a few to be sure, have "add to address book" even though they are already there.
    And if I open the address book and open their page, I will see all the info, just as I should.
    But if I click on the "add to address book", the same email address is repeated on their page in the address book. So I could end up with the same email address 5 times on the page.
    Someone told me once that if I cannot cure the bug then I should consider it a "feature".

  • How to delete row of old emails appearing on top line of thunderbird(i cant get to inbox without scanning tens of old emails)

    on top row of t-bird is a list of old emails. in order to get to the new emails (inbo) i have to delete hundreds of old emails. by going by all the old stuff to get to the inbox (new emails)

    If you are talking about all the old tabs where you have opened, read and failed to close the message tab, right click one of them and select Close Other Tabs. Then use the x to close the last one. Now learn to close a message tab after you read the message.

  • Need to delete someone's "old" email address.

    I was typing someone's name into a new email when 2 possible addresses appeared.
    One was an old one but did not appear in my Address Book.
    It would seem that it was being accessed from an old email.
    I would like to get rid of it so that it does not cause any confusion in future.
    How do I delete it?

    Yes, it's a real pita the last couple of days.  The servers aren't sync'd very well lately.
    I've had to resort to posting something or using the rss feed to see the last posts in a thread.
    Hope they fix this soon....

  • How to delete ALL previously sent email addresses from *iPad*

    I use my Apple ID to set up my kids' iPad Minis, which in retrospect was not so bright.
    Now when my child starts typing the recipient's name for an email all of MY previously sent email addresses come up, many of which are work-related.
    I know I can click on the blue "I" and remove them one by one, but I have over 1,000 contacts - so one by one just isn't practical. Is there a way to delete them all in one go?
    Again - this is on the iPad mini, NOT laptop/desktop. I know how to do it on my MBP but can't find anything out there for the bulk deletion on the iPad.
    Thanks!

    Any idea how the addresses "synced" on there to begin with? Surely there's an "unsync" feature?
    My email addresses are not being used on the iPad so it must have something to do with my Apple ID.

  • How to get rid of old email address

    Using Mail on iPad, if I try to address an email to myself, it pops up with two pre-fill options....one of them being my old and no longer useable email address.  I tried finding the back up files for my iPad to see if I could locate the invalid email address and delete it.  The old address is NOT in my address book nor is it still in settings for email accounts.  Any suggestions to help with this annoyance will be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you in advance

    To the best of my knowledge you can't delete/remove them without restoring the iPad back to factory settings (which is somewhat extreme) - I havn't yet found a way and I've seen a few other posts asking the same thing. You can try leaving feedback and maybe we'll get a edit function one day : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

  • How do I send from different email address

    I would like to use a clients email address when I send out thier survey form.  It is more recognizable and less likely to get caught is spam filter compared to using my email address.

    Thanks for your response.  I am using the distribution function within FormsCentral.  I guess what you are saying is that if I send my email invite (with link to the FormsCentral form) and  my email client supports using a different "from" address then I am good to go.    The alternative I was thinking about was changing my user credential/email address  for this one project so this different email address was used…. But this comes with some consequences I am not sure I want to manage.
