Previous Recipients from Mail Account Not on Mac?

I have two email accounts on my iPhone but only one on my Mac.  On my Mac, I see previous recipients from contacts I've emailed on my iPhone from the account that is not on my Mac.  I also do not sync my iPhone to my Mac.  Why does this happen and how can I disable it?  The account I am getting the previous recipients from doesn't exist whatsoever on my Mac and the two accounts have no connections with each other.

One is iCloud which is on the Mac and then both the iCloud and Exchange are in my phone.

  • Previous Recipients in Mail will not stay deleted

    Email addresses that I have used previously (but don't want) keep autofilling in Mail's TO: field.
    I have gone to Window>Previous Recipients and deleted these emails but they autofill again the next time I am on my computer.
    How can I permanently delete these pesky Previous Recipients?

    Thank you so much for your response. I do want to know what the long term effect of this action will be.
    there won't be any. you'll just have to start accumulating "previous recipients" from scratch.
    Will I still have the autofill feature in Mail?
    yes.
    Will the "good" Previous Recipients repopulate after I have emailed them?
    yes.

  • Somehow a new contact became associated with my email.  Now all my email has her name on it. This happens only on my iMac, not on my other Apple devices.  I have removed my email from her contact card and deleted her from previous recipients on Mail.

    Check the settings in the Accounts for Mail.
    Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Click on your email Account in the left column > What appears under Full Name in the right column?
    If that is the incorrect name you're describing change it to your correct name.

  • Moving Previous Recipients from old Mac to new Mac??

    I set up my new MacBook using the Mac Set Up Assistant copying all the information from my MacBookPro. It looks like 95%+ was transferred perfectly. Both Mac's use OS X 10.5.4.
    One thing that did not transfer was the Previous Recipients in Mail. All the accounts transferred, all the old mail transferred and even the SPAM filters transferred. But not the Previous Recipient list.
    I have a large number of Previous Recipients that I don't really want to have Address Book vCards for, but I do want to be able to search for their e-mail addresses when I need to send something out.
    Does any one know:
    1- Where the Previous Recipient file is kept?
    2- Is there any special concerns in transferring that file to my new MacBook?
    Thanks

    that file should have transfered. that list is kept in homdirectory/library/application support/address book/MailRecents-v4.abcdmr. If it didn't transfer for some reason, transfer it by hand. there are no problems with doing that.

  • How do I get to the screen in Mail that allows you to delete multiple "Previous Recipients"  from the list? I have seen it but cannot find it again. Help.

    How do I get to the screen in Mail that allows you to delete multiple "Previous Recipients"  from the list? I have seen this screen but cannot find it again. It shows all of the "Previous Recipients" in a long list. You can edit the list by selecting multiple names or all names with the command key and delete. Help.

    Launch the Mail app on your Mac and go to Window>Previous Recipients.

  • Import Previous Recipients from another Mac?

    I need to import the previous recipients from another Mac. The importing OS is Tiger 10.4.
    I have figured out how to import Address Book data which was exported from a Windows machine as a .csv file. That worked beautifully.
    But I don't see any means of importing previous recipients which it seems is only a simple list of names and email addresses.
    Anyone know how to do it?
    Thanks.

    Just answered my own question. Turns out the import of the Address Book data also imported supplied the Previous Recipient function with the data it needed.
    You guys are great! Just ask the question and it works before getting an answer!

  • TS2755 How do you remove previous recipients from a message list? When I begin to type a number, I have numbers appear that are no longer in use, or are incorrect. They are not in my contacts list either.

    I apologize. I didn't see that you hadn't updated to iOS 7. That's an iOS 7 option. With iOS 6, you'd need to restore the device as new. Note that that will result in your phone being updated to iOS 7.
    Best of luck.

  • Previous recipients in Mail Address

    When I addressed one email, I discovered that I had four addresses for that person and wanted to delete the three now incorrect ones. After I had entered the wrong address, I held down the command key while clicking on it and the pop-up menu appeared so that I could click on "Delete" which just removed the address from the email message. However, when I re-addressed the email with that same address, I held down something while I clicked on the address and the pop-up menu appeared again; this time it had a new option that read something like "Remove address from previous recipients list". Clicking on it removed that incorrect address. However, I have not been able to reproduce that same menu thru which I could remove the other incorrect addresses for that person.
    Question: how can I reproduce that menu to remove the incorrect addresses? Or where can I go to find it?
    Thanks for your help.

    In mails menubar, select "window" and then Previous recipients from the drop down list.

  • Moving Previous Recipients in Mail to New Computer?

    Is there a method of moving the Previous Recipients in Mail from Mac OS X (10.4.11) over to a new MacBook Pro (10.6.4)? I don't want to have to put them all into my address book, but I find it useful to find old names and emails addresses occasionally and would like to keep using it.
    Thanks very much for your help.

    It sounds like you are doing things the hard way.
    Is there a reason you didn't use Setup Assistant? If you still have the older Mac, you can do it with a FireWire cable, or with an Ethernet cable if your old Mac doesn't have FireWire. It makes the whole process a snap. It worked for me when I moved from a 2005 PowerPC eMac running 10.5, to an iMac running Snow Leopard. Everything came right over, including my Previous Recipients. It was "like magic".
    You might want to consider starting over with Setup Assistant; I guarantee it will be faster and easier than trying to move items over piecemeal.
    Otherwise, just copy over your entire Mail folder from /Users/yourhomefolder/Library. That should get everything Mail-related.

  • Yahoo mail account drops out randomly. I have 2 yahoo mail accounts on my Mac. The primary account works fine but the second account loses connection.

    II have 2 yahoo mail accounts on my Mac. The primary account works fine but the second account loses connection. When I put in the password I get a message that it is not the correct password. The only way round it appears to be to go into Yahoo on Safari, log out then log bck in again. If I then go back into Mail and right click on the account I cn then get mail for this account without having to enter a password. The problem only started when I installed Lion, but is still the same in Mountain Lion.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Enter the details of her second account at system preferences> mail, contacts & calendars.

  • Delete Recent Recipients From Mail iOS 7

    Is there a way to delete recent recipients from Mail in ios 7?
    I see that some can be deleted pretty simply if they have the "i" in the circle next to them, but that only applies in about 25% of the ones that pop up in my mail app.
    I've also seen advice that I restore the phone as a new iphone...NOT what I want to do..would loose too much other in app stuff etc.
    Maybe there is a "cleaner" app or script that can be run???
    Thanks

    Interesting answer. I did that since I'm having the same problem but I can only delete individual songs. Is there any way to delete an artist all together ?
    No, iOS7 with iTunes Match only allows deleting individual songs, one at a time.  If you need to be able to remove an entire album, artist, genre, etc., you should turn off iTunes Match on your phone and go back to syncing it with your computer.

  • Previous Recipients in Mail.app ought to have automatic management option

    Most non-power users do not understand how to use Previous Recipients in Mail.app and there is so much more Apple could do to make that a more useful tool.
    When someone changes their email address, Previous Recipients does not automatically update it; so if you don't manually remove the old address, the autofill function will continue to suggest the old address -- this is the source of a huge amount of accidentally misdirected emails.
    I wish Apple would offer an option which the user can turn on to automatically offer to delete nonconforming Previous Recipients entries whenever the user changes an address in the Contacts application.
    Ideally the preference would have three options: "don't do anything", "ask if nonconforming emails should be removed" and "automatically remove nonconforming emails when I change an email address in Contacts"

    Use the +Provide Mail Feedback+ option in the Mail menu of Mail.
    We're just users here helping other users with problems. Apple doesn't collect suggestions (or much of anything else) here.

  • Help! FR find itune library from another account, not mine!

    My Mac Pro has two accounts, and if I use FR to play music, it only shows playlist from another account, not mine! how can I fix it?

    Well, after troubleshooting here in the Front Row forum for a year, I've never seen that problem from anyone else. That's why I don't think you're going to find much support here. AppleCare Support will charge you $49 (in the U.S.) to troubleshoot a software issue after 90 days. I'm not sure what the charge is in Canada. You could buy an AppleCare Protection Plan (you can anytime within the first year of purchase) and then get free telephone support for software issues, like this.

    There should be no issues. Its designed to work like that.  You don't change Apple IDs just because you get a new device.

    Is there any chance that the phones can fall out of sync?
    Unlikely. But nothing is impossible.   Though I don;t see how that would happen. As long as both are signed into the Same Apple ID / iCloud Account they will be N'Sync. (Bad Joke)

    If I get a message or buy an app or take a photo on the iPhone 5, how do I get those things onto the iPhone 6?
    If you buy an App, you have 2 ways to get it to the iPhone6: If Automatic Downloads is enabled in Settings->iTunes & App Store, it will automatically download to the iPhone 6 when you buy it on the 5 and vice versa if you buy it on the 6, it will download to the 5.
    Alternatively, you can simply go to the App Store App->Updates->Purchased and look for the App there and download it. Purchased Apps will not require payment again. i.e They'll be free to download to the iPhone 6 once purchased.
    SMS Messages will sync over using Continuity as long as they are on the same Wifi network. Otherwise, restoring the iPhone 5 backup to the iPhone 6 will transfer all messages received up until the backup was made onto the iPhone 6.
    Images, can be transferred either through Photo Stream
    My Photo Stream FAQ - Apple Support
    Or any Cloud service you want such as Dropbox, or One Drive.
    mannyace wrote:
    Also, something i forgot to ask initially: Should I update the iPhone 5 to iOS 8 first or does that not matter?
    If you want the Continuity features as explained above you need to update the iPhone 5 to iOS 8. Otherwise its not all that important.
