Old outgoing mail account still visible?

I moved my email account from hotmail (using pop/smtp), to google apps (setup using Exchange Active Sync). On the iphone, I deleted the old mail account, and reset it up using the exchange option.
When I compose a mail message, this email account shows up twice. No matter which entry I pick, the iphone is using the old hotmail smtp instead of the new google apps setting.
In the list of email accounts, i only have the google sync account.
How can I delete/remove this old account so I can send mail???

Quit and relaunch Mail.

How do I delete an old e-mail account from my Apple ID?

When I purchased my iPad, I registered with an old y-mail account and a backup e-mail to my girlfriend's e-mail address, Now I have a g-mail account and need to delete the y-mail account and change the backup e-mail account. I cannot find information that will help me accomplish this.

Try here...
I no longer have an email address that was also my Apple ID. Can I still use the email address as my Apple ID?
Apple recommends you change your Apple ID to your current, working email address. This will not create another Apple ID, it will only change it to your working email address. See Changing the name you use for your Apple ID if you'd like more information.
Note: @mac.com and @me.com Apple IDs can not be renamed. If you no longer use the .mac or .me email address be sure to add your valid email address as an additional email address.

I need to change my iCloud e-mail to my new e-mail because my old e-mail account has been deleted and i haven't been using it for a while.

i need to change my iCloud e-mail to my new e-mail because my old e-mail account has been deleted and i haven't been using it for a while.
my new e-mail is my apple ID but my iCloud one wont change over.

If the old ID ("email address") is an earlier version of your current ID, try temporarily recreating the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

its very specific.
If you are seeing the old Apple ID with regard to this Mac, then it would seem that somehow you have incorporated the ID in the setup of this new Mac.
Iphoto i use never used imovie.
If you began using iPhoto without having Accepted it into your Apple ID, then that would explain why you are unable to update the app. If any of the iLife apps are used without Accepting them into your Apple ID, the ability to accept them will lapse and you will not be able to update them.

Just wipe the device. That's the quickest way.

Deleting an old e-mail account

I want to delete an old e-mail account from my iMac. Unfortunately, the only option I can find is to check or uncheck the "enable this account" box. Any way to completely delete an e-mail account from the mailboxes? Thanks!

Open Mail preferences and click on the Accounts icon in the toolbar. Select the account you want to delete in the list and click on the [-] button at the bottom of the list. Note that all the mail you have in that account will also be deleted. If you want to preserve any of it then create a new folder in your active mail account and then move all the mail from the old account into the new folder. Then delete the old account.

How do you delete an old e-mail account?

I have some apps on my mini IPad air that were purchased using an old e-mail account, which I have attempted to delete (thought I was successful); however, when I try to update specific apps, it will only let me log in using that old e-mail address.

Did you create a new separate account or did you just change your Apple ID.
Purchases are permanently linked to the Apple ID that made them. If you created a new ID and these apps were purchased with your old Apple ID then you will not be able to update them without entering the password for that account.
If you do not remember it then you will need to delete those apps and redownload/purchase them with your new Apple ID.

TS3988 Cannot unlink old e-mail account from iCloud

I am trying to update my iCloud e-mail address to reflect my new e-mail, however there is no way on my iPad to do this -- it refuses to take my old password and even though I have reset my password with Apple AND provided both my old and new e-mail addresses and entered all of the correct verification questions it persists in asking me for the password for my old e-mail account. This is an AMAZINGLY FRUSTRATING process Apple has set it -- it has virtually no comparison to any other security system online -- my bank, my brokerage account, my access to my health records are ALL SIGNIFICANTLY EASIER TO ACCESS and to manage security for. You guys HAVE to make this easier and more intuitive. It's 100% a broken system right now -- what's the point of having verification questions and asking for both old and new e-mail accounts if this does NOTHING but put you back in the same inescapable loop? For the amount of money you guys make off your devices and digital sales you'd think you could hire someone to solve issues like this gracefully. PLEASE help resolve this. I am highly technically literate...I cannot imagine what it might be like for your users who are less so.

This is the forum where you do not address apple, but help is provided by users like you. Surprise, I know.
Go back to appleid site and change your new apple id back to old one for one minute. That will trick Apple server into thinking that old id exists, allowing just enough time to delete account. Change it back when done and verify.

Delete old e-mail account icon

The Icons at the bottom on main screen are Messages, E-Mail (new account), E-Mail (old account), SMS and MMS, Contacts, and Calendar. I want the icon for the old E-Mail account deleted, permanently off my phone. Completely gone everywhere from the phone. Any info on this subject will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Nevermind, I figured it out.

Default Outgoing Mail Account

I can't figure out how to control the default outgoing mail account. I have 3 accounts, and the mail program doesn't always select the first mailbox listed, which Help tells me it should do.
How do I control this?

There is no default email account selection in Jaguar or Panther Mail when selecting New to compose a new message. This was added with Tiger Mail.
When you compose a new message, the From address is selected in the following order:
If a message is currently selected, Mail uses the account the message belongs to, if it can be determined from the headers of the message, or by the account mailbox the message resides in.
If an account mailbox is currently selected (an account's Inbox or Sent mailbox in the mailboxes drawer), Mail uses the account the mailbox belongs to.
If no message or account mailbox is selected, Mail uses the email address for the first account listed in the Accounts pane of Mail Preferences.
When you reply to a message, the From address is selected in the following order:
The To and Cc fields are compared to email addresses you have set up in Mail Preferences. Mail uses the first address it finds as the reply address.
If the message is in an account mailbox, Mail uses the email address for the account the mailbox belongs to.
If all else fails, Mail uses the email address for the first account listed in the Accounts pane of Mail Preferences.

Old e-mail account keeps showing up when I reply to e-mail sent to active account

I deleted a hotmail e-mail account from my iPhone. The reason that I deleted it was because sometimes when I replied to an e-mail sent to my aol or Time-Warner e-mail addresses (which were active on the phone), the e-mail would somehow show up to the recipient as having come from the old hotmail account. Thus, when the other person replied, it went to the hotmail account instead of my aol or Time-Warner account.
Incredibly, even after I deleted the hotmail account from the phone, restarted it and did everything else that I could think of to be sure that it was gone, this still happens. Here is an example:
1. I send an e-mail to a friend from my aol account.
2. The friend replies and I receive the e-mail in my aol account.
3. I reply back to the friend. In the "from" box in the e-mail that my friend receives from me, it does not show the aol account, but instead the hotmail account.
4. When the friend replies, it goes to the hotmail account and not the account.
5. The only way that I become aware that the friend replied is by checking the hotmail account.
So the question is: how do I get this to stop?

i already sign-out my account and sign in again but still when i update an app, wrong username will pop up..

Can't delete or edit an old e-mail account

I just upgraded my iPhone from 1.1.4 to 2.0 and I had an old (inactive) e-mail account in on my phone. Now I can't remove it, edit it or do anything with it, it's just there. And when I try to open the Mail application it just hangs for 5 seconds and then closes it self.
I even tried using iTunes to remove the e-mail account by doing a sync with Mail Accounts in iTunes but then iTunes comes up with an error: "iTunes could not sync mail accounts to the iPhone "My iPhone" because the mail accounts are in use by the iPhone."
Is this possibly a glitch in the software upgrade? Does some one know how I can fix this?

Did you ever find a fix for this? Mine is doing exactly the same thing, even with 2.01 - I hoped that might fix it. I'd rather not have to reset and erase the whole phone.

Problem with some outgoing mail accounts

I have several pop accounts in Mail. On my home iMac, they use my ISP for outgoing. For example, one account is arizona.edu for incoming; it uses smtp.comcast.net for outgoing. This has worked perfectly for years. Suddenly last week, the outgoing mail stopped working.
The dialog box says the server has rejected the sender address. The only way I can send the message is to edit it, changing the "from" address to my mac.com address.
There's nothing new on my system. No software changes. When this happened, I tried re-entering my account info in Preferences, but no joy. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hi,
Thanks for chipping in.
This is what I do.
1.Enable IMAP in Gamil settings
2. In iphone setup the mail by using Gmail option.
3. I enter the user name, pswd et
4. I save and it verifies the account
Now if I go to home screen and checks the mail account details again, the pswd field is blank again.
I have set up my yahoo account and it works perfectly well.
Hope the above info helps foryou to understand the issue and help me out.
Thanks,
Alex
