Obsolete BT mail address still getting spam

I have an @btinternet.com Internet address which i've used for several years but I still get e-mail from people I don't know, who use my old @btopenworld e-mail address. Is there any way to delete this address. I've looked in my BT profile and the old address is not there but Idon't know where else to look. Thanks.
Solved!

If the prefix of the @btopenworld.com email address is the same as your @btinternet.com address you will get email which is being sent to either account because @btinternet.com and @btopenworld.com are interchangeable.

Deleting an obsolete e-mail address

How do you delete an obsolete e-mail address from game centre?

All suggestions come from your address books. You are going to have to find the old addresses and edit or remove then.
You have two address books by default. The personal and the collected books. Check them both and any other books you may have created.
There is a button to open the address book window.

How do I remove an obsolete e-mail address of a friend (not a whole account)

People change their provider and get a new e-mail address. From some people I have 3 addresses but 2 are obsolete. I can't remember which ones. So I want to remove the old addresses, not a whole e-mail account.
If I send a new e-mail to a friend and I have typed part of my friends name, I don't want to see obsolete addresses as options. I only want to see 1 correct address.
If your answer is something like "Go to the Adress Book", please do tell me - exactly - where this Address Book is and how I will be able to edit and save it.
I have Thunderbird 31.5.0.
Thank you.

Hi Shiba,
I understand that your printer is not printing picures as expected. I know you stated that you had tried troubleshooting steps above. Where you able to take a look at this document? Are you printing from a mobile device or computer?
Hope this helps.

Snow Leopard messed up Mail; I still get it, but timer things spins away like it's offline

Hello,
Ever since I installed Snow Leopard, Mail has acted weird. The timer thingie spins and spins, or I get the exclamation point within a triangle within a circle icon. I don't get all my mail, either. Gmail doesn't deliver it all to Apple Mail. What's up with that? I've heard others mention Snow Leopard messed up thier Mail.
Thanks,
Ellen

Thanks. I did that, and 609 emails came flooding in from Gmail! The timer thing keeps spinning endlessly as if it's looking for more mail, but I can live with that. At least now I can just check my mail without having to sign in to Gmail every time.
Thanks again.

E-mailing to a correct e-mail address and it doesn't go through. I get mailer demon reply. How can I fix this?

For some reason when I send an e-mail to a correct e-mail address, I get a mailer daemon response. I know the address I am sending to is correct. Is there a spam list of blocked e-mail addresses?

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.

How do I get all the e-mail addresses alphabeticall when I want to send rather than all of them in no order

Before this new version of Thunderbird, when I typed in the first letter of an e-mail address, it would display all the e-mail address starting with that letter and I could pick the address which I wanted. Now, when I type in the first letter of an e-mail address I get all the e-mail addresses in my address book in no particular order and I wind up with all the e-mail addresses in my 'write' command. If you pick the one you want to send, you invariably wind up with addresses you don't want in your 'to' box. Is there some way I can get back to the old system which was a lot easier and less frustrating than the new version that just seems to defy common sense and reasoning and is very inconvenient as it takes forever to get the e-mail address right that you want to send your message to?

You probably need to go back to TB24.6

Choose your platform and then your language, click the offered file to download it, then run it.
You want win32/ for any version of Windows.

IPhone 3Gs e-mail address problem ... They won't delete

Hi all,
I have an iPhone 3Gs.
One of my contacts has changed his e-mail address.
i have altered it in Address Book and changed it. The old e-mail address still shows up when I am trying to send him an e-mail (The new one also does0
I have deleted the entire contact from address book on my macbook and synced. I have re-entered it in address book and resynced.
The old e-mail address is still showing up.
The new one also does.
A clue ... the new one says WORK: before the new e-mail address ... the old one does not have a classification.
How can i get rid of the older e-mail address.
I seem to recall reading on this forum a while ago that stuff got stuck in cache or something.

Yes, there is email address cache/dictionary. Unfortunately, the only way to clear that out is to perform a Restore in iTunes, and set the phone up as new (not from backup, since the cache is part of the backup). That means you'd need to reload all your content, re-enter all your preferred settings, etc.
You can submit feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.

Need to know how to prevent credit card info going to wrong e-mail address I mistyped when donating to an add-on programmer?

When I saw the confirming message of my contribution (made by credit card), the email address I entered was mistyped. How do I prevent the erroneously typed e-mail address from getting my credit card info, or for that matter, how do I prevent/correct the email address to be used for confirming my contribution?

Once a message has been sent, it is gone. As to what the receiver does

How do I delete an e-mail address on the iPhone? (Already removed from contacts)

Hi - I have a few friends that have changed e-mail addresses. I have removed the old e-mail address from my contacts on my iPhone, however, when I go to begin a new e-mail to them the old e-mail address still shows up as an option. I have already sent e-mails to the incorrect e-mail address a couple of times and I'd really like to delete these incorrect e-mail addresses completely from the iPhone. I have a PC (not a MAC) and my contacts are through my Yahoo e-mail account. I have deleted the incorrect addresses on the Yahoo account on my PC (not that it should matter anyway - since they aren't synced).

iCloud is free (5GB) with iOS 5 you should look into it, makes syncing contacts and editing much easier. To delete an email address you select the contact from the address book, press edit, there will be a red circle with a white line through it, press that then press delete. Then add their new email and press done. If its still coming up the only thing I can think of is if you have an old email in your mail app from their old email address and that may be what is causing the old address to come up.

Why can't I forward a text to my e-mail address?

When I try to forward a text I have received to my e-mail address, I get a message that says: "Cannot send the attached object to e-mail address". What does this mean? I would like to be able to do this. Please help.

SMS-toEmail is only supports up to 160 characters which includes the destination email address. If you try to send 160 or more characters then you get that poorly-worded message.
As an example, if you were trying to forward a text to [email protected] then you would have only 133 characters remaining since [email protected] uses 26 characters of the available 159 characters.
If the text you are trying to forward is over 159 characters then you need to edit the text into shorter pieces.

Getting Spammed!

I have had this particular web e-mail address for the best part of 10 years and have never used it for commercial purposes before and it has never recieved any Spam e-mails! however, since joining the BT Community forum and using it to sign up whilst in transition from my old ISP, I am now starting to recieve spam even though I have taken the option to keep my e-mail address private.
Is this forum leaking details to some web-crawler or is it selling on personal information? Either way, I'm not happy at losing the privacy of a long held web account that can be accessed from any connection, anywhere in the world and I hold BT fully accountable.
Is anybody else recieving spam on an account other than one of BT's own?

I understand you're trying very hard to defend BT, but if you care to read my posts again, you might notice that I'm fairly well experienced with these things ...as anyone that can keep an e-mail address free of spam for 10 years must be.
One of the ways to keep them free of spam is to keep an eye on spam activity. This address has never been published to any other than Family and one or two Companies that I've worked for - that is to say; until I used it to sign up here. my former static isp didn't have it and my mobile isp hasn't changed. If I sign up here and the spamming begins, it's obvious to anybody with any common sense where the root of said spam is originating.
As a form of a test, I've just now changed my contact e-mail address to one that I've had for a couple of years and never recieved spam on either ..but this time it's never been used to contact anybody! It's totally clean.
Let's wait a couple weeks and see what happens there huh.
P.S: I'll also say again: it's nothing to do with Luck! It's all about who you sign up with.
P.P.S: If anybody else - aside from TonyM - has suffered a similar fate with a non-BT e-mail address please feel free to post your experience.

Problem in updating apps with incorrect (old) e-mail addresses

I have a major problem. I cannot update my phone with any apps. It brings up an old incorrect e-mail address when I try and do this.
On my computer and on my phone settings is the correct e-mail address.
How do I get rid of this e-mail address and get my correct one to display so I can update ?

The Mail.app stores all sent message recipients to the list of Previous Recipients in Mail and the autofill feature pulls from the Address Book and the list of Previous Recipients.
At the Mail.app menu bar, go to Window and select Previous Recipients.
A previous recipient entered in the Address Book will have a vCard icon to the left of the name. You can remove a previous recipient from the list or add a previous recipient to the Address Book that is not already entered.

My e-mail address is already associated, but I deleted it from the My old account. How do I solve this?

My sons E-mail address was assosiated to my account. Now I took it away to be able to start a new account for him. But it still says that his adress still is assosiated to an acount.

Connected to. I have no alias. In my account I had several adresses, including my sons. Now I want him to have his own apple ID. I deleted his e-mail address frpn my apple ID, and tryed so create a new account in his name. But it allways says that his e-mail address still is connected to an other apple ID.
