Unable to Delete OLD (prior to 2009) Addresses from the Previous Recipients List using ANY Method

How do I delete OLD addresses in the "Previous Recipients List? I am unable to delete OLD addresses (last used years, 2007 & 2008) using the button "Remove From List" or clicking on the address when it is displayed in Mail & selecting "Remove from Previous Reciopients List."

Solved:  When composing an email and beginning to type an email address, you are prompted with autofillins.  There is a small x to the right of the name.  If you wish to delete the autofillin, then click on the x and Yahoo will remove it from the options in the future.

  • How do I remove an address from the previous recipients listing?

    When I am entering an email address using iPhoto sharing, there is an address that I need to remove from the list. I have checked Mac Mail and removed all of the entries in the Precious Recipients file and found and removed the offending address from my Address Book but it still pops up in iPhoto. How can I clear entries from this listing?

  • Unable to delete and incorrectly typed email address from the scan to email app on HP 6700

    Hello,
    I incorrectly entered an email address on the SCAN TO EMAIL APP on my HP Officejet 6700 Premium and I am unable to remove this email.
    When I enter the screen and select delete or modify or remove for the associated email it prompts me to enter the pin number (which of course was sent to an email address that I do not have since I typed it in incorrectly).
    I have done a search of the forum and seen that people using this app with other machines are also having this problem and have not found an answer.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you!

    Hi Denise-Adam, welcome to the HP Forums. If you do not have a settings option in the Scan To Email App, you will have to remove Web Services, and re-enable it. This will require you to add the printer back to HPConnected (if you are using it), and re-add the app.
    The instructions to reset web services are under the section "What if I lose my printer code before registering my printer?" in this document:  Getting Started with ePrint
    I hope this helps.

  • How to delete addresses from the pop-down list in the "To" line ?

    Several times I have entered someones's address incorrectly in my address book. When I correct it at some later time, the incorrect one still appears in the pop-down list when I start typing the name in the To: line. Sometimes I don't look closely and the old, incorrect address gets entered (and then I never hear back from the person!). So how do I delete the incorrect ones? I've tried everything I can think of.
    Thanks.
    John

    Those are probably coming from your previous recipients list.
    Open Mail, Click on Window, Previous Recipents, and delete any that you don't want.

    You can't currently permanently delete purchases, all you can do is hide them so that they are less visible : hiding and unhiding purchases

    Look in your Contacts App and see if the unwanted address is entered there.  If it is, you can delete it there.

  • How can I delete unwanted mail addresses from the auto fill list in e.mail

    When I go to type a mail adress on my ipad I get a drop down list of previous mail addresses including all the typo's and used once. There doesn't seem to be a way of deleting unwanted one's. Unless anyone knows better?

    No, it can't be done. There have been many requests for this.
    All you can do is send feedback to Apple on it at http://www.apple.com/feedback/iPad.html

  • How to delete the Previous Recipients list in iPhone 3G Mail

    I would like to delete the list of previous recipients in my iPhone 3G Mail so that when I search it only shows addresses in my Contacts, not every single random address I may have used.
    I know how to do this in Mail on my desktop, and I tried the option of replacing the Mail info on the iPhone with the info from the desktop, but it didn't work.
    Anyone knows how to do this?

    sanjinzvonic,
    In my expeirence, the only way to do this is to restore your iPhone, setting it up as a new phone. You can try resetting all settings prior to this to see if that does it as well.
    To reset all settings, navigate to Settings > General > Reset.

  • How do I edit out the previous email addresses from the pop up list of address in Apple Mail?

    Whenever someone sends me a new email address, I go to address book and edit the page. The problem is that whenever I go to send an email and start to type the address in, the drop down menu lists possible entries as I type, and it still keeps the old address on that list, sometimes above the new address and if I don't carefully check, it will go out to the wrong address.
    It seems to hold onto the old addresses no matter what I do. I have edited, tossed out or changed in the address line of the email, and it still holds onto the old addresses.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    If I start an email to John Doe. I type in his name and if I look at the drop down menu when I click his name, it will offer several options, including "open in address book". Makes sense. He is already there.
    But some names, a few to be sure, have "add to address book" even though they are already there.
    And if I open the address book and open their page, I will see all the info, just as I should.
    But if I click on the "add to address book", the same email address is repeated on their page in the address book. So I could end up with the same email address 5 times on the page.
    Someone told me once that if I cannot cure the bug then I should consider it a "feature".

  • How do I delete an individual web address from the drop-down list of the address bar?

    I'm using FF 36.0.1 for Ubuntu.
    I used to do that with just Delete button in earlier version. Now nor Del, nor Shift\Ctr+Del do not working. Is this a bug?
    Please don't tell me about history in menu. I won't go there every time I need to delete a broken url.

    Note that is this item has a star at the right then it is a bookmark and you would have to remove the bookmark to remove that item permanently.

  • How to capture all the email addresses from the drop down  lists

    I would like to capture all the email addresses that mail has captured and gives you as a prompt when you start to enter and an address...is there a way to do this ? Does anyone know where all these email addresses live ?
    Thanks matt

    For that program, it says it will import from CSV files, in which case once you add the email address and name to Address Book, you can create a new group for that purpose and add everyone you want to that group. Then select the group and drag it to the Desktop to create one vCard file with all those contacts.
    The go to this URL in Firefox (it won't work in Safari): <http://labs.brotherli.ch/vcfconvert/> and use the online vCard converter to convert that file to a CSV file. Be sure to add a header line if Interspire requires it in the file to import it, and check the results in Excel or Numbers before you import it.

  • How can I delete unwanted/inaccurate email addresses from the iPhone cache?

    How can I delete old / unwanted / inaccurate email addresses from the "suggestions cache" that keep popping up the moment I type in the first letter in on a fresh email address box?
    This is driving me mad! The London Store Apple Genius can only suggest either deleting my email account and then recreating it or totally reseting the iPhone to the original factory settings and then resynching it to my MacBook Pro to get everything back into the iPhone. However, he's not sure that this cache is not stored on the MacBook Pro during synching somewhere so I may well end up where I started! Allan Sampson answered my last "Help" topic, so I'm hoping he can beat the Apple Store Genius again!
    Over to the Forum and Allan.

    Hi Kelvin and everyone with the same problem.
    This used to be me and the painful solution ( for PC users ) is:
    Buy a Mac!
    Everything "talks" to each other and it all interfaces fine with the business world.
    Once you've adjusted to the ( much better ) Mac "culture" it all becomes clear and the
    backup service and advice is second to none. Not only that, everything works!
    Hope this helps......

  • Deleting from previous recipients list

    Autofill of addresses contains incorrect or not wanted addresses, most of these don't show in the previous recipients list and when I delete the incorrect ones, they come back and continue to fill in the address pane. The incorrect addresses have been corrected in Address book and I don't know where the others are or came from. How do I clean them all out?

    Make sure there are no addresses in the Previous Recipients that you need, then quit Address Book and Mail and delete ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/MailRecents-v4.abcdmr

  • Importing addresses from a previous user's account

    This was my wife's and I don't know if she even "kept" an address book per se, but I do know that she was able to type in email addresses and they would Autocomplete. I upgraded to Leopard and then imported old email into a new Mail account. But I don't see how the addresses can become "autotype-able." The old emails are all there...as are the addresses. But if I open a new mail and type in a name that used be autotyped, nothing happens. Isn't there a way to do this? Is the the old address book file and if so, where did that reside?

    I see that option on the menu and there's a few addresses under there, but not every one of them. Also, I tried to import the old email and that comes in as a separate mailbox ("Import-n") but that doesn't yield any new addresses in the previous recipients collection.
    Just saw the recent comment about the SQLite DB which uses the phrase "not easily" as opposed to "impossible." I'm not saying I'm a SQL ninja, but I know my way around DBs. Just curious if there are some pointers you can provide or is really a rathole I should stay out of?
    thanks!
