HT204150 Is there a way to delete an email address from an iPad's memory?

I once emailed my boss from my personal .mac email account so that is in his iPad memory.  Yesterday he emailed me with a work related request and the email defaulted to my .mac account rather than my work email address.  I don't often check my personal email since I'm chained to my office desk.  I almost missed this email and that would have been bad for me and my boss' relationship.  Can I delete it from his iPad to prevent this from happening going forward?

You can't - it is his ipad. How do you like them apples?
Seriously - you need to tell him that those emails will not reach you on time. The only way to delete those is to restore the ipad (cause they are cashed in) He would be completely craaaaazy to allow you to do that.

  • Is there a way to delete all email messages from inbox without checking each one at a time on my iphone 4?

    Whenever I want to delete messages in the inbox on my iphone 4, using v4.2.8, I have to manually check each one and then delete them the checked ones as a group. Is there a way to select all and delete them at one time? I love the phone and it is a little complaint, but I often get 50-60 work related messages which I scan then delete because the originals are on my work computer. Thanks.

    Also, the iPhone is not a standalone device and obviously doesn't have a full blown mail client... it's an adjunct to your computer.  If you want to delete a lot of emails, do it on your computer.  You could also log into your webmail using a browser on your iPhone and do it from there.
    You have a point, but you're just helping exposing the misery a little more:  I actually DO delete the emails in WebMail, very easily.  The problem is the sorry state of the Apple email client, that does not replicate those actions on the device, so I have to delete the messages TWICE--once on my computer, with a couple of clicks, and then on my iPhone, with a couple (hundreds) finger gestures.
    As to your point that the iPhone is not a standalone device:  that's nonsense.  The iPhone does a lot of things that users thought IMPOSSIBLE just 10 years ago.  Are you saying that the addition of a simple feature like a "Delete All Messages" button is too much for a mobile device?  Then what to say about Siri, a complex-beyond-our-imagination system that incorporates voice recognition, AI, searching and other hard-to-grasp technologies, all at our fingertips?

  • Is there any way to delete "recent" email addresses on an iPhone?

    Every email address ever used stays as a "recent" and clogs the pop up. Any way to delete these?

    Hit the blue arrow to the right and then you can delete the contact.   (this only works in Mail)
    Old contacts in Messages cannot be deleted.. yet.   Coming in iOS 7

  • Is there any way to edit an email address in the iPad mail app once it has been highlighted?

    To try and clarify the above, when I type an email address in the address field, in the Mail app, and then hit the space bar, the email address becomes highlighted. If I then want to edit the email address I cannot for the life of me work out how to do it without deleting it and typing it out again.

    Neither can I. I just think that is the way the app works. If there is a way, I would like to know myself.

  • Delete an email address from an IPAD ID

    My Apple ID is associated with 2 emails. Now I want to create another Apple ID with one of the emails.  But Apple doesn't allow me because it says that this email address is already associated with another Apple ID.  So I have to delete this email from my old Apple ID. 
    however, after I deleted the email, the error message still shows up.  I think this is because Apple system has verified the email with the old Apple ID.  How do I delete the email from the old Apple ID in the Apple server?

    Hi,
    I have an Apple ID that is based on a dial-up account I once had.
    It also has a recovery email linked to this.
    In addition when iCloud Started I linked it to iCloud and originally got an @me.com ID as well and later an @iCloud.com one as well.
    I also have several other Apple IDs (mostly @mac.com com IDs gained for iChat during the MobileMe period) and I have removed the linked/recovery email from these to create new Apple IDs (you do eventually run out of emails to use). So I know it can be done.
    However my regular Apple ID is also inked to my posting ID here at Apple Support communities.
    I was once able to change the email from the Apple ID one to another for my email notifications but still list another in my Profile for direct contact.
    I am not sure which is causing the issue but I find I can't follow the instructions that you are supposed to be able to use to "change" the Apple ID.
    I certainly can't make it the @me.com or @icloud.com IDs (it says I can't use another Apple ID when they are in fact already part of this account).
    I also see that the Profile here now forces you to use the Email  for notifications and not anything else.  (this might depend on who and where they are looking).
    You can of course use the iForgot site to check if it just happens to be linked to another ID.

  • Why is there no way to delete all emails from my iphone?

    Why is there no way to delete all emails from my iphone? IOS 7.1. Every other phone in the market allows you to 'select all' then delete.
    This trick of selecting one, then holding move, then unchecking (and subsequently moving all the emails to trash) doesn't work. I've read these suggestions and while it appears to work the emails just show up again once you leave and return to the inbox. Perhaps it worked on an older version of IOS.
    It blows my mind this is not a standard function. I get a few hundred emails at work every day, and most of the time I just want to delete all of them from the phone as I've read them already. Currently it seems i can only click edit and then have to check each email individually to be able to delete them at the same time; this is the definition of tedious. I would think there are millions of other iphone users who get their company email on their phones that must experience the same thing. It seems now i either spend 20 minutes a day deleting emails, or just let thousands of emails accumulate on the phone (taking up space and also making it hard to just review the most recent emails which is all I want to be able to do when checking email on my phone).
    I am hoping I am just missing some simple solution here that everyone else uses. Please help!!

    Only Apple could answer as to why there is no "select all/"delete all" function in the iOS mail app. Users have been bemoaning this lack of functionality for years now. Like everyone else, you can submit feedback to. Apple here.
    Apple - iPhone - Feedback
    While I understand the whole idea of being able to use the phone on the run, if you have an IMAP email account, and if you have access to a computer at work during the day, use your "select all" function on the server and delete all of the unwanted email there and it will be removed from the phone as well.
    That doesn't solve the problem on the phone, but it gets rid of the email which is your ultimate goal anyway.

  • In OS 10.8.4 is there a way to delete unread emails as a batch?

    I have a lot of unread emails. In OS 10.8.4 is there a way to delete unread emails as a batch?

    If you sort them by their read/unread status by clicking that column header, they will be grouped together in the mailbox list, making it easier to select them together.
    You could also create a Smart Mailbox with the criteria set to Message Is Unread, resulting in a Smart Mailbox that only contains unread messages. Then you just Select All and Delete.

  • After deleting an email address from Contacts is there any way of preventing it from popping up in the To: field of Mail when one starts to type in a contact name.

    After deleting an email address from Contacts is there any way of preventing it from popping up in the To: field of Mail when one starts to type in a contact name?

    if you are not on ios 6, then all you can do is wait.  if you have deleted the address from your contact list, then it will live on for a while in your 'recently used' addresses.  as you use new addresses, those older ones fall down the list, and eventually fall off altogether  (unless you use them again).  Have patience, it will go away.
    Or do the update....

  • Is there a way to delete multiple emails ipad ios7

    Is there a way to delete multiple emails on my ipad with ios7?
    The manual says,
    "Delete, move, or mark multiple messages. While viewing a list of messages, tap Edit. Select
    some messages or tap Mark All, then choose an action. If you make a mistake, shake iPad
    immediately to undo"
    Unfortunately, there is no "Mark All".

  • Is there a way to remove all email at once on iPad first generation?

    Is there a way to remove all email at once on iPad first generation?

    Issue does not apply to just first gen iPads, but all iOS devices. The only place in the native mail app that permits deleting en mass is the trash folder. In all other folders you must tap each message to select it before deleting. There may be alternate mail apps that include this function in the app store, but I have yet to find one.

  • Updated to iTunes 11, all my playlists are gone, is there a way to save /transfer the playlist from my iPad to the computer?

    Hi,
    I have just updated to iTunes 11, once I opened itunes I noticed all my music, books, programs and app's had disapeared. Luckily for me I have everything backed up, except for my playlists.
    Is there a way to save /transfer the playlist from my iPad to the computer?
    And is there a way to backup the playlist for next time I need to restore my computer or update Itunes.
    Thanks

    And is there a way to backup the playlist for next time I need to restore my computer or update Itunes.
    Your playlists and other info is stored in the "iTunes Library..ITL" file in your My Documents\My Music\iTunes directory, if you regularly back up that file you are safe. Also just to be sure also backup the iTunes Library.xml which is located in the same directory.

  • How can I delete an email-address from an old Apple ID-account?

    I need to delete an email-address from an old Apple ID-account, but the Apple ID seems to be deleted (but not by myself), to use it as a validated mail-address for communicating via iMessage from my new Apple ID.
    I already tried 'Find my Apple ID'.

    but the Apple ID seems to be deleted (but not by myself), to use it as a validated mail-address for communicating via iMessage from my new Apple ID.
    If that AüpleID has been disabled for security reasons, you may not be able to access it. Then you need to give Apple Support a call:  only they will be able to help you. See this webpage on how to contact Apple Support in your country: There are either telephone numbers given or an email form:
         Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security
    Explain, that you need help with an account security problem.
    You can also try to email the iTunes Support using this form:https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html

  • How do I delete obsolete email addresses from the "to:" line. All of the addresses a person has had show up. I only want the correct one to be displayed.

    I would like to delete obsolete email addresses from appearing in the Address line of my outgoing email. My address book only has the current email address of each person. Why does the old addresses appear?

    Check Window > Previous Recipients for that user name and see if the old addresses are there. If they are delete them.
