Mail Address autocomplete has many invalid emails remembered. Can it be edi

A friend of mine has recently changed their internet service provider and hence their email address. For example, they did have an email address similar to "[email protected]" and now have "[email protected]". I have made the change in Address Book, completely removing the old email address. Now in Mail, when I begin typing their name, the auto-complete shows both address with the incorrect and nonexistent old email address highlighted as the default.
Since I have gotten in the habit of pressing "Return" when entering email addresses to quickly auto fill the complete address, I quite often send the email to my friend's incorrect nonexistent address.
I also have several other old email addresses that seem to come up when I begin typing addresses that I would like to remove. How can I edit and delete the invalid addresses that Mail seems to have stored somewhere?
I notice that the following article states that "Mail will choose the address most often used, not the most recently used."
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA21017?viewlocale=en_US
But it is going to be a long time before the new address I am using will exceed the number of past uses of the old.
Can I use the "Configure LDAP" to specify my own file that I can edit?
If not, is there a way to completely erase what mail has remembered other than what is in the Address book?
Thank you in Advance!
Jeff

Open Mail, Click on "Window" on the menu, select "Previous Recipients" and remove the addresses.

I have changed my e-mail address on the apple ID website and have been able to change it for ICloud. My e-mail address (ID) has not changed for I-tunes and therefore, I can't install updates. ??

If this is on your computer's iTunes then log out via the Store > Sign Out menu option and then log back in with the updated version of your account. If on an iOS device then tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and log out and then log back in.

I reset my IPAD password but the verification email wasn't sent to my primary or secondary email address. Without the verification email I can't complete the password change process. Any recommendations?

Great tip from dorothy. Also, some isp services are more aggressive from others in filtering what they think might be spam. You might check your spam file from a computer, and see if the verification e mails are sitting there. When i wen through the process, the verification e mail came to the new e mail address in under a couple of minutes.

This is your husband's app, only your husband can update it. Apps are forever tied to the Apple ID that purchased them. No other Apple ID can update someone else's app.

My secondary e-mail address used on my daughter's ipod can no longer work. It states, that it is already in use with another apple id. She used it for weeks before this happened.

My secondary e-mail address used on my daughter's ipod can no longer work. She uses this as her imessage texting. First it needed to be verified. Once I tried to verify it on appleid support, It states, that it is already in use with another apple id. She used it for weeks before this happened.

Apple mail address autocomplete

In Apple Mail it does the address autocomplete by the person's name. However, there are times when I know the person's domain, but can't remember their name. For example, I want to send an email to John Smith, but don't remember his name, but I do remember that his email address domain is at xyzcorp dot com. Is there a way for autocomplete to work if I type xyzcorp? I haven't been able to figure it out if it can, but it would seem weird to me that you can search like that in Contacts app, but not in Mail.

I don't think you understood my question. What I want to do is this... When composing a new email I would like to start typing xyz and have autocomplete suggest [email protected] along with any other person that has @xyz. That way, even if I forget John Smith's name, I can still "find" him by typing xyz. It appears that Mail only suggests names from Contacts based on the person's name.

When accessing Mozilla Firefox I get ALOT page no bookmark, no e-mail address. what has happened?

This happened today - yesterday I had a 'normal screen' showing bookmarks and my e-mail address for direct access. Now I cannot get into gmail. All I have is a ALOT screen which I do not want. Please clear this up. But reply to [email protected] NOT gmail cos I can't get in!!!!!
Many thanks.

Oh, good. I'm not losing my mind! I'm having the same problem on every Firefox page, starting this morning. I would think this is some sort of hack job going on, but if not, it's REALLY annoying either way. Just to check I also loaded my Internet Explorer, and Google Chrome, and they're loading normally.

"acquiring e-mail address" - message has been on for several hours

just installed OfficeJet Pro 8600
connected via home wireless network

Just bought this device today. It's gone through several alignments and is hung up on the printer acquiring the e-mail address, although the computer indicated this was done when the printer was initialized. Why oh why can't HP develop printers/software that are not totaly screwed up?

I have entererd the wrong E-mail address for my £15iTunes gift card, how can i get my code back so i can put it on the right account?

i entered the wrong E-mail address when it asked me for my Apple ID, now my card is useless and i dont have the £15 credit i paid for, i was wondering, if i gave you the code, would you be able to trace what address i typed in (Which will be similar to the one i have now) and would you be able to transfter the £15 credit onto my account?
I can send you the code if you like?
Many thanks, James Cummings.

First, you're not communicating with Apple when you post in these forums. The only people who will respond are fellow users and there's nothing we can do directly with this problem.
But I can tell you that if you redeemed the card through the wrong iTunes Store ID, then sorry, but there's no way to transfer credit from one account to another. You'll have to use the iTunes Store ID under which you redeemed the card to make your purchases. You would not have been able to redeem the card through another account unless you had the password to that account, though, so you may not have actually successfully redeemed the card. Have you tried to redeem it through your "real" iTunes Store account?
Regards.

Since the iOS 8.3 update my iPad keeps asking for my old iTunes password(the account I don't use and can't reset as the e-mail address was hacked) As a result I can't update my apps because it reverts back to asking for my old iTunes password.

Since 8.3 iOS update my iPad keeps asking my old iTunes password for an account I've disabled as my e-mail got hacked. As a result I can't update any of my apps ( I'm missing out on hay day)

Any content is tied to the account that you used to buy/download it - so if you created a new account as opposed to updating the existing one, then you will need to use the old account to download updates to its apps. Can you not update your old account so as to have a new email address on it (e.g. via this page) ?

When I click on "To" the names and e mail address do not come up but I can forward

I sign in..go to email....want to address who it is to go to, and when I click on the "to" the list of name and address do not come up and the little line that is in the address box disapears, and it seems like there is a "jump" on the e mail form...it seems to move up. I can open e mail to me, but can not address e mail out.

Firefox doesn't do email, it's a web browser.
If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.
If your problem is with Mozilla Thunderbird, see this forum for support.
