How to remove a from email address when composing a new email?

when I compose a new email in the from drop down list there are three emails that are mines that i can use. there is an @icloud.com email there that i did not create. how do i remove it?

Hi, AC360.
First, ***** won't help you here. People here are users just like you and I, and as both of us, they like to be treated with respect. So, adding bad-word-like characters won't get you any faster or closer to your solution. And even if you don't want it, you got it. iCloud is here to stay and until Apple decides to change its cloud-based service name, we'll all have icloud.com e-mail addresses.
But as stated before, you didn't lose your @me.com address and you're not forced to use your icloud.com one.
Now, focusing on your problem, since you're annoyed because the @icloud.com address is listed in your "from" drop-down, you can simply remove it from there by:
1. Access iCloud web interface at www.icloud.com
2. Click the Mail icon (it's the blue one with an envelope in the middle. You can't miss it. )
3. On the top right corner of the next screen, you'll see a gear-like icon. Click it.
4. Click "Preferences"
5. Click "Composing"
6. In the "Send From" section, uncheck the address [email protected] (where "yourname" is your own iCloud username)
7. Click "Done"
8. You're done.
See? Problem solved. Now you can sleep tight not worrying about what Bad Apple tried to force down your throat.
Hope I have helped.
Be good, stay calm, and respect other children here at the playground, ok?
Cheers,
JP

  • I have changed the email signature on my iPhone, when composing a new email the signature is there, however when I am replying to an email it is not, how can I make sure that the signature is at the end of every email I send?

    Yes I know what you mean about it cluttering the thread and for personal emails it is better without the signature. However this relates to sending business emails from an iPhone so I need the signature present on every email.
    I can't find anything in Settings so I was hoping someone may have some knowledge/information/experience regarding this problem.

  • Why is one of my other email addresses trumping my default email address when I reply to emails?

    Good morning.
    I have several (4 different) email addresses imported into my imac mail program. I have gone through the settings and configured the program to best of my ability. I have set one email address as my default account. For some reason when I compose a new email message...the mail program will use one of my other email addresses (non-default email address) instead.  Do I have something set up incorrectly?
    Thanks
    Alex H.

    open up your mail preferences and in the composing section there is place to choose the default email address for composing new messages.
    if you have several email accts though whatever acct you're in replying to the message will always default as the reply from address since that is the address it was originally sent to.

  • All of a sudden, auto-complete does not remember my preferred email addresses when I send an email.

    Previously when I would create an email and start to fill in the "To" box with an email address, Thunderbird remembered my most used choice. Now, auto-complete simply puts in the alphabetical option and I have to scroll through a long list to find the email address I want. Any ideas?

    what a ridiculous decision to change from "starts with" to "contains".
    I have a further problem - having selected the address I want from the umpteen options pulled from my address book, I then press enter to add another line for another address.....and the first address I selected changes to a completely different address!
    And also addresses from the address book which previously appeared only in black now randomly appear in red.
    help please!

  • Can't copy or move email addresses when composing an email??!?!?!?!

    If I am composing an email and the email address is already encased in the "blue bubble" is there any way to copy / cut / paste the text string of the email address contained within the blue bubble?
    I can highlight the blue bubble email address by tapping it.... I can unhighlight it by tapping it again. Or I can backspace and delete the email address bubble. Aside from that I've tried everything and can't figure out how to copy that email address in the bubble.
    Why this would be useful:
    I want to easily copy/paste/move particular email recipients from the "to:" field to the "CC:" field
    Or, I want to copy the email address encased in that blue bubble, and paste into my Contacts, or into a SMS text message.
    Seems like a major oversight.
    Help Thanks

    Do you get the option to replace the "existing" one  with the one you are moving?  What kind of folders and what kind of photos?

  • My browser is Firefox, my email program is Yahoo, when composing a new email, how would you increase the font of size of the characters?

    I am using Firefox browser, My email program is Yahoo.com and my Home page is Yahoo. My OS is Windows XP. When composing an email I sometimes want to increase the print size of the text in the email. I do not know the procedure to do this. Is sometimes prints very small.
    there some way that I can correct this problem?
    Thank you,
    Jeanette Gonzales

    Hi [email protected],
    If you are talking about the font only in your email, then that's a yahoo issue:
    http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/ymail/basics/basics-21.html
    If you think EVERYTHING is too small, you can try using [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-use-zoom Zoom]. This will increase/decrease the size of everything on the page. You can try hitting ''CTRL and +'' a few times to try it out. ''CTRL and 0'' will return it to normal size.
    If that isn't what you are looking for you, you might want to look into some of the [[Accessibility]] options. There is lots of good information in that article.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • I need the steps to delete my email address and input my new email address

    When I go on the web and want to send someone the web page or attached the website, or send from my printer/scan application, my email was set up to attach through Mail.  I cannot figure out how to delete my current email that is attached and to set up my new email.  Would anyone mind telling me the step by step instructions on how to go into the Mail application and delete present email address and input new email address. 
    Much appreciated!

  • When composing a new email, my Contact list says I have none... I have over 100 !

    The TO box used to auto fill when I started typing if an address was in my Contact list. The + at the end of the area for an email address says I have no Contacts

    The mystery, however, is I have no problem with my email and contacts when I log into Safari..... Using the same Yahoo provider !

  • How to revoke everything from a user when opening a new session.

    HI,
    I am using oracle 10g Express Edition and SQL Developer.
    I have 2 user, 2 database connections in my SQL Developer.
    First user is Oracle and its database connection is called TCF.
    Second user is SMITH and its database connection is called TCF_SMITH.
    Oracle user has privileges to do anything.
    SMITH user has no privileges except for CREATE SESSION.
    What I am trying to achieve is assign a user to a role (this role will have grants to select, insert , update from tables) for the current session (this step is successful), and then revoke
    The role from that user (set it back to its default/or revoke everything from it) if opening another session, or session has been terminated (what I am trying to achieve).
    From TCF I was able to do the following:
    CREATE synonym SMITH.EMP_IOD FOR EMP_IOD;
    CREATE ROLE TCF_I;
    GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE ON EMP_IOD TO TCF_I;
    GRANT TCF_I TO SMITH;In TCF_SMITH
    SMITH has the same privileges as TCF_I.
    so, smith now can select, insert , and update from EMP_IOD table.
    If I open another TCF_SMITH session, and select * from EMP_IOD I should not be able to see any of the records.
    I am trying to make this session base only. Unfortunately when opening another session I am able to select, update and insert records in the new session.
    Is there a way to make this session based ?
    How can I revoke everything from user SMITH from TCF connection ?
    Thanks,

    Oh My Good Lord!
    Rooney,
    What are you attempting to do ?
    In programming anything can be achieved, but there are speicifc tools to solve specific problems .
    I think you are trying to use fork to paint a wall* (If painting the wall indeed is your requirement).
    The "need" as you say...
    +The need for this is to grant the user different roles each time the user logs in.
    for example I can log in 5 different time in one week with different role each time.
    Moday I could have access to X,Y,Z,
    Tuesday I could have access to X,A,B
    Wednesday I could have access to A,B,C.+
    ... is to solve WHAT PROBLEM?
    Please describe your original requirement , not what you think should be the solution/tool to satisfy the requirement.
    In your previous thread you "solved" privilege/role problem by creating SYNONYM. That does not compute at all.
    Re: database roles seems like its not working for me - your help is appreciated
    Think about it. We are here to help each other as best we can.
    Please read more* about Oracle capabilities and "tools" it provides.

    Also, please take time to respond as "helpfully" as possible. each response from you should take you closer to the solution.
    Hopefully, your original requirement will be solved.

  • All of a sudden, auto-complete does not remember my preferred email addresses when I send an email. It takes an age to give suggestions.

    When addressing an email, Thunderbird used to provide a list of options almost instantly. Now it takes several seconds and stops accepting more than three or four characters until it has finished the first search. Then it works on the next few characters - again more seconds tick by. Most frustrating. Gets there eventually!

    Dear Mark,
    Thank you for this response but I am already using version 31.4. I am not a knowlegdeable computer boffin. All I know is that I used to start addressing an email and a list of options would pop up almost immediately and progressively narrow down as I typed. Now after a few characters it freezes whilst searching for some options, accepts a few more charatcers and then freezes again doing another search. It gets there eventually but so much slower. When a list of options does pop up, it takes a while to accept the address selected.

  • Can't access fonts in when composing a new email

    When I start a new message in mail, if I want to change the font I can't access the font tool either by selecting the font button in the outgoing message tool bar or by the drop down format menu ( or by "command T"). I can, however, go into preferences and change fonts universally. Basically if I cut and paste a sentence from another message or word doc into an outgoing mail message that is a different size or font and I want to make all the fonts the same, mail won't let me.

    The mystery, however, is I have no problem with my email and contacts when I log into Safari..... Using the same Yahoo provider !

  • Email address of a contact was changed or it deleted, but still pops up when sending a new email?
