HT1694 how do I remove an email address from Mail that is not in my contacts list?

I have and E-mail address that comes up when I start typing an address into Mail when I create a new E-mail and this particular E-mails address is not associated with any of my Contacts.
How can I remove this E-mail address so it no longer appears?
Apple iPhone 4S iOS 5.1
thank you
Dave

You're welcome.
If that email address is your Apple ID, I don't believe you can delete it.
If you have your cell phone number selected as your Caller ID, when sending an iMessage it will be sent from your phone number.
Since your Apple ID email address is registered as well, if someone has your email address in their contacts, they can select your email address to send you an iMessage in addition to your phone number.
When this recipient says you are sometimes sending an iMessage via email, it is received as an email with the Mail app on their iPhone, not with the Messages app?

  • How can I remove my email address from the lock screen?

    How do I remove my email address from the lock screen? My dad bought me a new laptop after mine was stolen from my house on New Year's Eve. I'm a little tighter on my security now and when I turn on my laptop the lock screen shows me my name and my email
    address. If my laptop gets stolen again, I don't want my email address to be displayed for someone to use or sell as I'm extremely picky about what I'm giving out my email for. If there isn't a way to hide my email address, I'm going to demand a "downgrade"
    from this Windows 8 s**t and back to the more user-friendly and less confusing Windows 7. (And for the record, I hate Windows 8. With a passion.)

  • How do I remove an email address from my icloud memory?

    I would like to remove an address from my icloud memory? For example I will type in the first two letters and icloud automatically brings up that email address.
    How do I remove it or lose it?

    If you haven't already removed the email address from your contacts in cloud, you may want to start there.  If that doesn't work, then you may be out of luck.  Unfortunately, smartphones remember things we don't want them to :-(

  • How can I remove an email address from one apple account and associate it with another?

    I created an appleID account to use with the mac AppStore without realising i previously had an appleID account from my first iPod touch.
    Now with OSX 10.8 I want to use the email address from the old account with the new account for Messages.app without having to manage 2 logins.
    I've followed the steps found on the support page http://support.apple.com/kb/HE68 under the section "How to add an additional email address that is already associated with another Apple ID" but each time I attempt to add the removed email address from the new account to the old account the input box shows the error: Email address is already verified for another Apple ID.
    Has anyone else experienced this problem and found a solution?

  • How do I remove an email address from a workflow notification?

    Hi, I was wondering if you could help me please. Can you tell me how to remove an old email address from a workflow notification? The person's name and email address have already been removed from the list of Users in the Admin area, but some workflow notifications are still being sent to their email. Any ideas?
    Many thanks for your help.

    Thanks Liam, I'd previously looked at the also notify field and it didn't show any other email addresses. This time I clicked on the second of my two options in the Workflow Steps field, and then clicked back on the first one  again, and hey presto, two email addresses appeared! The offending email address has now been removed.
    Thanks again for your help. Cheers!

  • How can I remove a email address from my mail from window

    Everytime I go and send an email from maverick mail the window from (thats me) has a misspelt address in it and my email often chooses this hence it wont send. I can send this mail by dropping the window down and choosing the rite address i.e. FROM.
    I want to remove this address but I can not find it in accounts or on iCloud.
    Help needed
    Morgan

    I am saying instead of manually having to type in your various emails which result in a list popping up including your error-
    You need to create a list of emails you use. Therfore you do not have to type everytime you go to send a email,  you just choose your correct email from the drop down menu. Simply click of the mouse.
    I see now the correct path should read:
    Mail>Preference>Accounts>Accounts information>>Email Address
    I am suggesting this is the easiest way of dealing with the problem and why would you not already have your list of emails at hand in the drop down menu for ease of work flow.
    You maybe able to route out the cache file if you prefer, and delete:
    The following resource outlines where the cache folder is stored. Note that the Library folder is hidden by default in OS X Mavericks. To access this folder, hold down option when clicking the Go menu in Finder:

    Mac OS X: How to troubleshoot a software issue
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1199
    If the issue does not appear to be related to preferences, a login item, or a kext file, and still persists in Safe Mode, there may be an issue with a cache file in your home folder:
    1. From the Finder's Go menu, choose Home.
    2. Open the Library folder.
    3. Drag the Caches folder to the desktop.
    4. Attempt to reproduce the issue.
    5. If issue is resolved, drag the Caches folder to the Trash.
    6. If issue persists, from the Finder's Go menu, choose Go To Folder.
    7. Go to this folder: /Library
    8. Drag the Caches folder to the desktop.
    9. Attempt to reproduce the issue.
    10. If issue is resolved, drag the Caches folder to the Trash.
    11. If issue persists, go to step 4.

  • How do I remove an email address from an account?

    Every time I turn my iphone off and on again, it asks me to log into icloud and other apps that I set up with an old email address. That old email address has now been removed from my itunes account and replaced, and I no longer use the old one at all. However, when I go into my itunes account, it doesn't say anything about my old email address still being on there. How do I remove my old email from icloud without losing my apps or my current itunes account details?

    Just what did you do? There is only one email address for one Apple ID but yo can have an alternate email address to use to contact Apple.

  • How do I remove an email address from AutoFill WITHOUT RESTORING?

    A few years ago, I accidentally typed an email address with a "." in it, and ever since, I keep sending emails to the wrong address.
    I've removed it off of my Hotmail account etc, but the iPhone keeps remembering it as autofill, and it shows up before the real email address.
    Because I did this shortly after I bought the phone, I cant restore back to that date, and I'm absolutely not willing to restore the phone.
    There has to be a setting, or file somewhere on the phone that can be deleted?
    (perhaps access it through my Mac/Windows?)

    You can "try' editing the cache that stores this data using something like this:

    Otherwise, you restore as new.

  • How do I clear the email addresses from Mail memory auto-fill?

    I am constantly getting emails back from people I didn't mean to email, thanks to the auto-fill option in my email. I don't mind mail remembering the people in my address book, but not EVERYONE I've ever sent or received an email from. Does anyone know how to clear the cache in my mail memory?

  • How to delete a single email address from Mail?

    Hello,
    I am asking this question for my mom who is 80 years old. We both use Mac's, but for email, I'm on Entourage so I am unable to help her with her Mac Mail question.
    Recently, I signed up for MobileMe, and a few of my emails to her came from my new MobileMe address (which I do not want to use for email---I am using MobileMe for other things). So now that the MobileMe address is somehow "in" her Mail program, whenever she writes a new email to me, it defaults to my MobileMe address. She can't remember to check what the address is every time she sends an email (she's 80 years old!)---she just wants to be able to type my name ("Andy") and have it go to the same Comcast address that it has always gone to.
    I've played around with my Mail application, but since I'm unfamiliar with it, I don't know what to tell her. Is there a way to get that MobileMe address of mine OUT of her computer so it won't keep sneaking in there like that?
    Thank you very much!
    PS: She is using a MacBook with 10.5.something.....

    Great--thank you! I will give her this information in the morning and see what happens. Oh how I hope this fixes it.

    Hello tcnolen1,
    It sounds like you are trying to change the Apple ID logged into the iTunes & App Stores on your iPhone.  Use these steps:
    Changing your Apple ID account
    Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores, then tap the Apple ID signed in.
    Sign out of the current Apple ID account and then sign in with another account or create a new Apple ID.
    You can find the full article here:
