Imessage gets email from account not associated with it.

iMessage gets email from my exchange email account I do not want.  This is not my apple id, nor is it associated with my imessage or facetime.  Nothing stops the problem. There has never been any email associated with my imessage account.  I added then deleted my apple id association from the iphone iMessage account leaving nothing but the phone number.  Turned off phone and restarted.  No help.
I have upgraded to ios 6.  It happened it both operating systems and has gone on since I bought the phone 1 year ago.
There are 5 email accounts including the culprit exchange account on my iPhone.  Only the exchange account ends up in iMessage.
I deleted the Exchange email account, then restarted the phone, then left it for 4 hours.  Restarted the phone.  Readded the exchange account.  It stayed clean for 1 hour then the flood of exchange email started.
Even with iMessage turned off the email arrives as a text as if by magic.  I checked my bill and the email "is still being sent by iMessage, even when its off!", as there is no sms charge as should be when iMessage is turned off.
This application has gone rogue on me and no one else I know has this problem.  My work email is exchange and I get over 100 a day.  Its a flood.  Plus text messages must be deleted one at a time!
How do I stop the monster. 
Help. 

I did not lose my contacts but my carrier support could not confirm prior to executing the above steps.
I believe the reason your carrier is handing off to Blackberry on this is because the Blackberry ID is managed by Blackberry, not the carrier (I am not 100% on this). As such, they can't authenticate the BBID. That can be handled directly by the user here: http://ca.blackberry.com/bbid.html. Permission issues are always a pain.
IF BBM won't behave following the solution that worked for me, I would call your carrier one more time and ask them to escalate the service tag to Blackberry. Without the service tag, its tough to get action. This allows the carrier to hand you off and creates the support trail needed for effective resolution. Push to get the service tag.
In my experience on this, there was enough "grey area" for all support techs involved that Blackberry would be well suited to increase the knowledge base/training/support  to provide a smoother resolution. When support tells the user that the main messaging platform, for the top end device, won't function and "there is nothing we can do about it", I believe the user has not been serviced appropriately.

    Where are you trying to log in? You should be able to change your ID at http://appleid.apple.com - can you log in there?
    Before you change your ID you should log out of the iTunes Store and on any devices which are logged into iCloud. Then once you've changed it you can log back in with the new ID. (Your iCloud synced data will disappear from the device when you do this but will reappear when you sign back in - give it time).
    If you are unable to sign into http://appleid.apple.com you will need to contact Support. Go to http://iforgot.apple.com and sign in with your iCloud login. A new password will be sent to your associated email address. If this doesn't work you will have to contact Support. Go to https://getsupport.apple.com . Click' See all products and services', then 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID', then 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password'. If you have any problems with that try this form: https://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html

  • Z10 BBM account not associated with Blackberry ID email address

    BBM was operating just fine until yesterday afternoon. I began receiving "BBM setup" prompt. The Blackberry ID is not being recognized which then throws an "email address not vaild" prompt. Then there is a "Temporary Server" error.
    I have edited and adjusted my Blackberry ID as well as resetting the password. These changes seem to make it to the device itself, as indicated in the Settings/Blackberry ID field.
    IF my contacts BBM me, I do see the entry in HUB (first line only). IF i try to reply, the BBM setup screen launches again - only to fail on the email address associated with the BB ID. All other BB services seem to be working fine.
    It is disappointing to have issues like this with flagship software on a brand new device.
    Any ideas on a fix for this?
    Solved!

  • A while back I made a gamecenter account that was not associated with an Apple ID, it was with my email, now my gamecenter account IS my Apple ID. I want to delete it and make a new one, but i can't figure out how. Help!

    Since you can't delete Apple IDs and having multiple Apple IDs can cause confusion, what you may want to do is rename your existing Apple ID to the new email (desired Apple ID).  That would in effect do what you want, get rid of the old and give you the new.

  • I recently received 2 emails from Apple informing me that my Id has been used to purchase games to download to computers not associated with my ID.  If I didn't initiate the download, I was advised to change my password.  How do  know the email is le

    I recently received 2 emails form Apple checking if I had purchased 2 games from the App store that were downloaded to computers not associated with my ID. They then advised me to change my password if I had not made those purchase.  How do I know that emails are legit?  I am afraid that they are scams to get my information by going on  to supply information.  I had checked my credit card just now and no transactions have been posted yet. Thanks!

    You can always manually go to http://appleid.apple.com and change your password there, to avoid any links from the emails.
    That's the only place you should use to change your Apple Id password.
    With that said, do you know if anybody may have used your Apple Id to download things? Like kids to a new computer or tablet?

    I am getting emails from itunes asking me to renew my ID with bank account, creditcard and sortcode! to much information to be credible. anybody else have this problem?

    They are not from Apple/iTunes, they are phishing attempts to try and get your account and payment details - don't click on any of the links in them.
    If you still have the emails then you could forward them to Apple : [email protected]

  • HT5622 My wife and I shared an Apple ID, have closed out iTunes on her iPhone and iPad but will not allow her email address to be associated with a new account even though it does not appear anywhere in my information. Any suggestions.

    My wife and I shared an Apple ID, I have closed out the iTunes on her iPhone and her iPad. While trying to set up a new iTunes account when I enter her email address it says we have to select a new email address. I have checked and her email is not associated with my iTunes account and really do not want to establish another email account. Any suggestions?

    Hi Stateler74,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  You might be able to find the Apple ID that her email address is associated with by following this article's instructions:

  • Since changing our computer I have been unable to download ebooks to my Reader Library I get a message Some file types associated with EPUB files are not associated with Reader Library; Waterstones suggest that I may have accidentally created a new Adobe

    When I try to download them from the Waterstones website I get a message saying:
    ‘Some file types associated with EPUB files are not associated with Reader Library.  Do you want to associate them now?  When I reply yes I get another message; ‘Configuration error unable to update EPUB files check network firewall and try again’.
    The ‘books’ are saved in the Download directory and I can’t transfer them from there to my E-Reader. I have not had any problems before, it was very simple; I saved the download and it automatically went into the Reader Library.
    I contacted HP and they said it is a software error and suggested I contact Waterstones.  I contacted Waterstones Customer Support and got the following response:
    As the error message is specifically mentioning the firewall it does sound like something in the firewall settings is stopping the download from taking place correctly. However, the files should not be being saved to the Download folder. It would be worth trying again by going to your Digital Order History on your Waterstones.com account and pressing the download button, and then making sure to press "Open" not "Save". When you press Open rather than Save it should give the option to open the file with Adobe Digital Editions. If the firewall message still comes up then I'm afraid something is blocking it on your end.
    If the above "Open" download method works but you then still get an error message it could possibly be that you have accidentally created a new Adobe ID when setting up on the new computer, rather than signing in with your old Adobe ID. It would be worth trying the aforementioned download technique again first, but if problems did still persist it would be worth calling Adobe themselves on 0207 365 0735, as they should be able to sort out any account issue.
      In response to the first para of Waterstones email I already do what they suggest I do press ‘Open’ not ‘Save’ but I don’t get the open with Adobe Digital Editions (we have installed Adobe Digital Editions on the new computer. Waterstones say we may have ‘accidentally created a new Adobe ID when setting up the new computer’ does that mean that we shouldn’t have installed Adobe Digital Editions on the new computer as it would have already been there? How do I sign in with my old Adobe ID? 

    Hi all after attampting to get some supoport from adobe by phone.... nice people infurating policys as far as support for digital editions or DRM is conserned... However I got no where with support.
    I ended up instaling Digital editions on my desktop PC and going through the motions of registering and borrowing a book then returning it. Then I trying on my iPad, Bluefire worked, Over drive did not so I completely removed Overdrive and reinstalled and re registered. all working now.
    Maybe some one at adobe did something. Maybe the install of the adobe DE client on a PC corrected what ever was out of wack with my account. Mayby the server that my account lives on did a scan disk and corrected a bad clustrer.
    What ever happend My account is actiove and working again. hope this helps others.

  • College email is not associated with Office anymore ?

    Here is my situation,
    I received an email from my college stating that i am able to get and use Office 365 for free. I downloaded and installed the software and it was working perfectly. after a couple of months i encountered hard drive failure,
    i manage to recover my files and downloaded the software again. i went through the same process of installing it as the first time and it was successful but THEN, i got notified that i needed to activate office by a certain date or I will not be able to use
    the program. I thought it was simple so i clicked "activate"and nothing showed up to prompt me to the activation. long story short, i longed in to my student email on outlook to later find out that my student account is not associated with Office.
    I discussed that with other students from my school and they are not going through the same thing. is there anything i can do to be able to use the programs again?

    Hi,
    Could you please let me know where exactly did you download Office? On the top-right corner, are you able to login by clicking the
    Sign in link?
    Please try to sign in to Office 365 portal with your college account, at
    http://portal.office.com/OLS/MySoftware.aspx and check if you can see Office applications listed. If you see Office listed, then your account is associated with Office properly.
    " i longed in to my student email on outlook to later find out that my student account is not associated with Office."
    Not quite sure what you mean by this, are you saying that you're not able to use this email account anymore? If you're sure that your account is not associated with Office, you need to ask your Office 365 administrator for further assistance, to assign you
    the license again.

    It's recommended to download and install
    Configuration Analyzer Tool (OffCAT), which is developed by Microsoft Support teams. Once the tool is installed, you can run it at any time to scan for hundreds of known issues in Office
    programs.

  • Why can't I send or get email from an AOL account!

    Good Evening,
     I should say if u could try to keep this simple as I am by no means a computer wiz!. Having said that I have a Verizon account & friend's of mine have AOL but for some reason we can not send email to each other as it keeps coming back.
     My question is why is this? I love Verizon but have never had this with any of the other providers I had. Is there something I need to turn off? & if so what & how?. I'm really lost as to why I can't send nor get email from AOL. If anyone could explain it but in a way I can understand it this would be great!.
     Thank you for your time!
       Will,
