IPhone is sending mail from an old email address

This one has me stumped. I tried using a gmail account with my phone and decided I didn't like the way things worked (old dog). I liked it when I was just downloading copies of my mail from the mail server independently. So I deleted the gmail account from my iPhone and also from MacMail. It's no where else on any of my Macs or on my iPhone. Yet the phone is still sending out mail from that gmail address, so then of course people respond to it and I never check the mail there. By the time I remember to login to gmail, the messages are days old. Anyone have this problem and how do I exorcise the ghost of gmail?

You need to go to mail settings, open any account, then tap on SMTP. The gmail outgoing server is probably still in the server list, so delete it.
Also, you need to reboot after any email account changes. Hold HOME and SLEEP until an Apple logo appears.

Why does my iPad send photos from my old email address when I changed my email address on my iPad apple ID?

Emails are normally sent through your regular email account. You'll need to change the preferred account used by Mail on your iPad.

You are at least the second person to post the same thing today, so I don't know if there are problems with it. You clicked on the link to send reset info to your rescue email address as shown in steps 1 to 5 of the page that you posted from, and you've checked your spam folder as well as your Inbox ?

Even though I changed my email address in my contacts, ICal send alerts to my old email address. How can I fix this?

Apps are forever linked to the ID used to download them. The only way to fix this is to delete the apps in question and download them again with the new ID

TS3899 When sending an email using my iphone it always goes to an old email address and not the address set up in settings

I have removed an email address from my Iphone and have added a new one. My new one has been set up in the settings as the default account. When trying to send an email the phone always asks for a password for the old email address and will not use the new address. How do I get rid of the old address and use the new one? I have used the delete account to remove the old email address.

Try chnaging the Default Account in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
You can also try to Reset All Settings from Settings > General > Reset.
If neither of those work, try restoring the iPhone.

HT201269 How do I get my old iPhone/iTunes info from an old email address that I no longer have the password to change it to my new email address?

I no longer have my Comcast account how do I get all my old iTunes Facebook etc from my old email to my new phone and centurylink email account
[email protected] when I no longer have the password to the Comcast account

I really can't comprehend the logic that leads to believe that password for old apple id will come to e-mail for new id. Buy may be I just misunderstood something. Contact Apple for assist with password retrieval. If you can verify yourself as account owner they may be able to help you.

How can I get Mail to 'forget' old email addresses?

Several work contacts have recently changed their email addresses, but when I type their names in the To: box in Mail, it brings up both the new and old addresses.
None of these email addresses are in my Address Book, Mail is obviously just picking them up from previous emails I have sent and received to/from these people.
How can I get Mail to 'forget' these old email addresses and just bring up the current ones?
(I have already accidentally sent emails to the old addresses because they are coming up in the drop-down menu. I would much prefer it to be idiot-proof and not bring the out of date addresses up at all)

How do I change my alternate apple id from the old email address I no longer use? I am not given an edit option. Thx

How do I change my alternate apple id which is an old email address I no longer use? I am not given an edit option. This old email address has already been removed from alternate email options but does not want to leave the alternate ID position! Thx

Your apps were purchased under the old ID, so they will have to be deleted and re-purchased/downloaded under your new one.

How do I change my icloud account from my old email address to my new email address, the old one is no longer accessable!!

Hi
I changed my old email address over a year ago and my icloud still only recognises the old email address on my iphone 5, how do I go about changing it, if I do not have access to a password, to my new email address? My iTunes is on my new email address but not my icloud account.
For some reason it only recognises my daughter email, as we share iTunes account.
Please could you help with what I could do to change it??

Oops sorry, that doesn't make sense, I don't have access to my old email address, we closed the account!! I obviously do have access to my new email address but its not letting me change to my new email address!!

Cannot send Mail from Search shortcut "email [name of contact]" with exchange account

i have a Q10 with an exchange Account configured. Mail works fine from the hub but when i use the search feature of the q10 by typing "email [name of contact]" the compser opens but i cannot send. the account field is empty and when i press send the button gets greyed out. the email is not sent.
the problem seems to be that the default-account setting is not recognised when you use the search-shortcut-feature of the q10. when i compose a mail from the hub the account-field is filled right.
same problem has a friend of mine from another company. he also uses a different excahnge server/account.
os-version: 10.1.0.238
language: german
exchange version: 2010

Hi!
I've got the same problem. It's a quiet annoying bug.
Regards
