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 to I get rid of old email addresses connected to my Apple ID?

    Apple is always serving up old email addresses and asking for passwords. How do I delete these old email references on my apple account?

    Apple is always serving up old email addresses because you have downloaded apps with more than one Apple ID. All apps, all paid and free apps include DRM protection which is tied to the Apple ID that was used to download the apps. It is not possible to merge or transfer apps downloaded with one Apple ID to another.

  • How do I get rid of old email addresses that pop up when I want to send an email?

    When I try to send cerate an email and enter a contact, old email addresses pop up for the contact that are no longer current. I would like to delete them so only the most current address pops up but I can't find a way to delete them.

    There is no facility for this in the Mail app.  Over time, they will move to the bottom of the list, so they sort of go away on their own, but there isn't a delete option.

  • Getting rid of old email address

    I cannot get rid of old apple I'd (email address) even though my new address and applied is verified.  Cannot back up data because old email and password have been cancelled.

  • How to get rid of old email in app store?

    I have currently changed email addresses so my original email address is no longer in service. I have gone through and changed it to a new email address in the iTunes store and my Apple ID. There is a new update for the Facebook app that I keep trying to download on my iPhone 4, but whenever I try to put in my password for it to start updating, my old email address comes up and there is no way to change it. HELP!

    Delete the app and re-install it.  It is still associated with the old email because that is the one you used to download it in the first place.

  • Has anyone the answer to the problem of not being able to get rid of old email address so the new one is the one that pops up and the old one is deleted

    1800 help please..   How can you delete a persons old e address , even deleting old contact and restarting does not stop the defunct address from showing up and showing up first
    Can you help?

    The only way that I currently know of that you can use to remove old / invalid email addresses is to reset the iPad back to factory defaults - which is somewhat extreme, and I assume that you don't won't to do that. You could try leaving feedback for Apple and maybe in a future update we'll be able to edit the list : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

  • Can't get rid of old email address

    Since purchasing my iPad, I changed internet carriers and changed my email address. If I go to iTunes & App Store in Settings on my iPad, it still says my Apple ID is the now invalid email address. Can't get pass that point. Wants me to put in a Password for that ID that no longer exists.
    Created a new Apple account to no avail.

    The last thing that you want to do is to create a new Apple ID since purchases are always tied to the Apple ID that was used to make the purchases. You want to change the old Apple ID email address to the new one.
    Did you follow these instructions to change your Apple ID?

    If you followed those instructions and all went as it should, you can sign out of your old ID in settings>iTunes and App Store>Apple ID. Then sign in with the new ID. You should also take a look at this.

  • Getting rid of old email addresses in Mail

    I have been unable to find a way to remove email addresses so that old, incorrect addresses stop showing up in the address field when I type that person's name. I posted to an old post which has not been answered, but the answer someone else got was: "in Mail go to window menu->previous recipients. delete the obsolete addresses from the list there." So I went to the window menu-previous recipients and deleted obsolete addresses. The deleted addresses still come up. I restarted, but that didn't do it. When I open the previous recipients list, the email addresses that I deleted are gone so there's no way to delete them again. Is there another way to do this? The addresses have also been deleted from my address book, so it's not getting them from there.

    Thanks V.K. I read your previous post, and that's where I learned about deleting in the previous recipients list. The only thing I sync with is my iPod Touch, but I haven't done that since deleting the addresses. If I do as you suggest, won't I lose all my mail and address book information?
    no, that would only clear the previous recipients list. it won't touch the address book. but if you got it fixed then you don't need to do that.
    That would be worse than having to deal with the wrong address situation. Also, when I deleted the addresses, I used the keyboard delete key. I think that's the problem, as I went back and deleted something using the "delete" button on the recipients list page instead, and it worked the way it's supposed to.

  • Getting rid of old email address problem

    I have updated a friends email address in Address Book and deleted her older address. However when I'm in the mail client and go to type her name if defaults to her older address that I deleted! I can still get the new address by scrolling down but I want the older address gone period. Why is it still showing up if I deleted it?

    while in Mail go to window menu->previous recipients and remove the old address from it.

  • 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.
