No thanks.
But what does this have to do with the Contacts app?

How to stop email addresses from being added to contacts

hofw do you stop email addresses from sent emails from being added automatically to contacts?

No. They are not being created by the phone. They are being created by your mail system, whether that is Exchange, Yahoo, Google, etc. They all have settings to automatically create contacts from people you correspond with. There is no setting on the phone to control this. Check the settings for your mail account with or talk to your IT department.

Contacts are automatically being built in the phone when emails are received. Is there a setting that will prevent this?

I assume it is in a cache - maybe even on servers.

How can I stop email aliases from auto-resolving on send?

My organization uses Exchange for email.
I am attempting to send a message from my iPhone TO an alias email address. As background, this is necessary because I'm attempting to develop an application that reads the inbox for the related account and performs different actions based on the alias used as the 'send to' address on the email.
I can type in the alias, or choose it from a contact (I've tried both ways), so that when I hit send it LOOKS like it's going to the alias... but as I/after I send the message, the iPhone/mail application/? resolves the alias to the primary address, so that when it enters the mailbox, it appears to have been sent to the primary email address, rather than the alias.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
Thanks!

I don´t know for a fact, but I guess you can have your firewall block the traffic to and from the AppleTV's. You have to find out which ports to block (see: http://bowersandwilkins.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/55/~/firewall-ports -utilised-by-airplay ) and also you will need to have different location profiles for your home and work network.
Just my two cents.

How do I Delete an Email Address from Auto Complete in iPad iOS mail

How can I remove old/unwanted/incorrect email addresses, (which have never been in my contacts list or which have been superseded because they were wrong)?
Every time I start writing an email address I get this list of suggestions of any similar addresses I have ever used - many of which are either wrong or not wanted & have never even been in my Contacts list! Its really annoying as the "wrong" ones are usually near the top of the list!!
Regards,
Robin
PS none of these addresses have been "imported" from another computer!

The only way that I currently know of to remove old or incorrect email addresses is to restore the device back to factory defaults, which is somewhat extreme. You can try leaving feedback, and hopefully one day we'll get a way of editing them http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

How can I delete old email addresses from auto complete?

Hello to everyone on this great forum,
I have been having trouble trying to find out how to delete the old typed email history. For an example, if I go to send a picture to Bob, I start typing Bob and it comes up with 3 old emails of his. Not a big deal except it's hard to keep track of what emails are current.
In other words, after deleting the old emails in the contacts it still shows up when I start typing a person's name.
Any help would be great,
Thx
Jon

you cannot do this unless you restore your phone as a NEW device.

Double check your contacts email, and if its incorrect, go to their contact and change it and save it or you can delete the email you put in, and manually type it in.
Hope this helps.
How would that help the original poster?

After deleting an email address from Contacts is there any way of preventing it from popping up in the To: field of Mail when one starts to type in a contact name.

if you are not on ios 6, then all you can do is wait. if you have deleted the address from your contact list, then it will live on for a while in your 'recently used' addresses. as you use new addresses, those older ones fall down the list, and eventually fall off altogether (unless you use them again). Have patience, it will go away.
Or do the update....

HT2486 HOw do I transfer contact numbers and email address from my Mac to my new iphone?

How do I transfer contact numbers and email address from my Mac to my new iphone?

Connect your iPhone 4S to your Mac using the iPhone’s USB cable, and then use iTunes to transfer your contacts from to the iPhone. (An alternate way is to use iCloud.)
I’m not sure what you mean by “transferring email address” from the Mac to the iPhone. But if you mean you want to access your email from the Mac and the iPhone, the best way is to configure your email account over IMAP in Mail on both devices.

Log out of the old ID, then login using the new one with the correct pw.

Has anyone got a script to read a list of email addresses from a Mail message and put them into a group in Contacts?

Has anyone got a script to read a list of email addresses from a Mail message header and put them into a group in Contacts?

Now Tony, I know you can't hear my tone on a forum post but I was not complaining, simply stating facts . This change brought several people in my office to a grinding halt in a long established workflow that is really rather simple (and I thought was already assumed from the original post above ):
1) Select a set of records in FileMaker Pro 12 and export only their e-mail addresses as a CSV file.
2) Open that CSV file in Excel.
3) Copy the column of e-mail address.
4) paste into the appropriate recipient field in Mail.
5) Send
If I were to complain it would be about Apple's typically opaque approach to updates. There is no granular explanation of why changes were made or even "what" changes were made.
Complaining is futile since Apple is Apple and is unlikely to change, but sometimes it is cathartic to "shout into the void" .
I had thought about doing something with a formula in Excel and your suggestion was simple and helpful. Again, however, it is only a workaround for a long established helpful behavior that Apple has inexplicably broken/removed in Mavericks Mail.
I, and the other posters here, would love to have the capability back rather than have to add previously unneeded steps to our workflows.
Ultimately we may add scripting steps to the FileMaker side to export the address lists with commas inserted already if Apple ends up having permanently removed this feature.

A lot more detail is needed to understand your issue...for instance:

Good luck and let us know!
