How to reset Autofill in Mail?

Hi,
I have an annoying thing where an elderly customer of mine is using Mail, which autofills an incorrect email. I've tried deleting and re adding the contact in address book, and searching the forums. No joy.
Does anyone know what file to delete that would zap the autofill entries?
Many thanks in advance,
c

  • How can I use apple mail (linked to gmail) and get it to only do autofill on the contacts that I have in apple address book?

    How can I use apple mail (linked to gmail) and get it to only do autofill on the contacts that I have in apple address book? Everytime I write an email on the Apple mail app (as well as in Gmail) it recommends a bunch of emails that are not my contacts. I want it to just autofill for the contacts that I have in my address book. Is this possible? Thank you. I have an Imac Intel version and an Iphone 5 phone.

    how  do  i  reset  an  e- mail 

    What do you mean reset?  If you want to remove and re-add the account, head to Settings -> Mail, Contacts, and Calendars.  Select the account you wish to delete, scroll down to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  From there you can choose to recreate the account.

  • How To Reset Mac Mail 3.6 To Default Settings

    Hello Mac People!
    6 months ago I was using a third party tool with my Mac Mail. The tool added an auto BCC address to every outgoing mail. I no longer use the tool and deactivated the third party tool. But there was an error in deactivating and the BCC address is still attached to every outgoing email. I asked the third party tool and they tried everything to fix it, but nothing worked.
    I visited the Genius Bar and they said the only way to fix it now, would be to reset my Mac Mail to the original settings (aka start all over) and then re-add each email account, folder, rule, preferences, etc.
    It's a pain, but I have to do it.
    Problem is I forgot how to save all my current emails in Mac Mail so when I reset everything I can re-import my current emails.
    I also don't know how to reset Mac Mail to its original settings.
    Please help. Thanks!

    Thanks GS,
    I did do this with the Genius Bar, but possible we missed something, so here's a list of what was in each folder:
    Home/Library/Mail/Bundles > Nothing in this folder
    /Library/InputManagers > 1 folder (http://screencast.com/t/YjdiMjRmM) I think unrelated
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins > Several files (http://screencast.com/t/ZTk3M2QyOD) most I know are not related, a few I don't know what they are from.
    Home/Library/InputManagers > I don't have this folder
    Home/Library/Internet Plug-Ins > 2 Files (http://screencast.com/t/Y2ZhZmM0) I think unrelated
    Ok let me know if this makes any sense to you. Thanks!

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • TS3276 It would seem that my Mail password is not my Apple ID password.  I thought they would all be the same.  I have no idea what my Mail password is and want to change it but can't as I do not know how to reset the Mail password without having my old o

    I keep getting asked for my Mail password when I want to send or receive mail in Mail.  I do not know what this password is as I thought it was my Apple ID password, but this fails.  I have changed that password so many times recently as I thought they were linked (why aren't they?).  How do I change my Mail password without having my old one?  Are there some security questions I can answer to do this?  Heeeeelp please.

    Your iCloud password is your Apple ID and password. You must know it since you are posting here.
    Have you transfered your MMe account to iCloud? If not, open iCloud in system preferences and sign in with your Apple ID and password.
    If you have transfered it to iCloud, do this:
    Go to the iCloud icon in System Preferences and open it. Sign out of iCloud.
    Open Mail. If the iCloud or MMe account still exists in Mail's preferences under accounts, select the account and delete it. Then sign back into iCloud and choose Mail and any other applications in iCloud that you use. The Mail account should be put into Mail automatically.
    Signing out of iCloud should remove the account from Mail and signing back in should put it back. There is no manuel account creation by you when using Apple Mail application.

  • How to reset sites in Safari asked not to auto fill

    Good day,
    First off, I don't really post here so it is just appropriate to say that I love Apple and I totally love Mac OS X. I've seen the operating system evolve since Tiger about 8+ years ago when I bought my first Macbook Pro and I'm on my 3rd one now. Well done to Apple with the latest Mac OS X Mavericks, it's fantastic.
    I used to ask Safari not to autofill on certain sites in the past. I can't remember why exactly but I figure it was because the autofill and keychain didn't work as I expected or wanted it to work so it caused problems. I've also used 1Password all the time so I could've pressed "Never Save..." for the sites I regularly use to prevent the double-dialog.
    Now, with the latest iCloud Keychain, it works much better and there are some sites where I want to use it but previously asked not to prefill on those sites and can't figure out how to reset them so that they will ask and autofill again like other sites. With the iCloud Keychain, it is almost good enough to ditch 1Password. It works really well, I love it, especially since I can do so much more with my iPhone now which I didn't do before since I don't know all my logins off by memory.
    So, ultimately, how to reset the list of sites I've asked Safari not to save and autofill usernames/passwords on?
    I've tried the "Allow autofill even for websites that request passwords not to be saved" but that doesn't work.
    Some sites simply don't ask and simply don't autofill at all.
    I've searched the internet and checked all the settings but I cannot find a solution.
    I hope it makes sense and I hope that someone can help me to figure it out please.
    All the best

    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ AutoFill ▹ User names and passwords ▹ Edit...
    Find the site and delete the entry from the list.
