Want To Delete Incorrect Email Address In Mail.

I typed an incorrect email address in a new email.
I immediately corrected it, but every time I start typing the address, the incorrect one as well as the correct one appears.
I would like to delete the wrong one as I am worried that on some future occasion I might accidentally choose it.
Can it be deleted? (Note - it is NOT in my Address Book).
Ian.

Check the list of Previous Recipients in Mail.
At the Mail.app menu bar, go to Window and select Previous Recipients.
A previous recipient already entered in the Address Book will have a vCard icon to the left of the name or email address.
You can remove a previous recipient from the list or add a previous recipient to the Address Book that is not already entered.

  • How to delete an email address in Mail

    A friend of mine has just changed his email address but I cannot remove his old one from Mail. I have added his new address and removed the old one from my Address book but his old address still comes up as the default when starting a new email to him.
    Any ideas would be appreciated...Cheers...

    Biggest apologies thought I was writing about iOS!?
    Am I also wrong about that too in iOS?

    It appears because your mail app remembers a history of addresses.
    It cannot be deleted but I think it will disappear after a certain time.

  • Delete incorrect email address from TO field?

    How do you delete  incorrect email addresses from the TO, CC, or BCC fields? Also, once that is done, how do you enter a correct address from the address book (not an incorrect address that the iPad has memorized).
    I need very simple step by step instructions that my 80 year old mother can understand when I explain over the phone what needs to be done. I do not have an iPad myself.

    I think it was something embarassingly obvious like touch the incorrect address and then the delete button on the keyboard.

  • Deleting remembered email address in Mail

    Hi
    I have many email addresses that Mail has remembered that I no longer need, or want.
    How do I remove them. They are not in my address book
    Thanks

    Open mail, in the finder bar select window> previous recipients. Then delet the ones you don't need.

  • Deleting incorrect email address form my hp 7525

    I am unable to delete a warong email address I entered by mistake when trying to fax to my daugher's email account. I am using an hp 7525 printer. Thanks 

    I guess you were using the Scan function, scan to a email, not fax(fax to a telephone number..). if you're using scan, can you go to the Scan tab, and if there is an address book there. 
    I am an HP employee.

  • Deleting incorrect email address

    Hello I am a novice i just got this droid phone & in setting up my gmail address i now have an incorrect address for the market and cannot delete the address.  How is this done.

    This is correct. The only way to remove a Gmail account on an Android device is a Factory data reset.  See the steps here.
    Have a great day!

  • How do I delete stored email addresses in my iphone? When sending photos, I don't want to have certain email addresses  "popping up" from the internal memory, I've deleted my entire "Contact" list but they still appear.  Help please!

    How do I delete stored email addresses in my iphone? When sending photos, I don't want to have certain email addresses  "popping up" from the internal memory, I've deleted my entire "Contact" list but they still appear.  Help please!

    As with the Mail app on a Mac, the iPhone's Mail app stores all email recipients in a list of previous recipients which is separate from the address book or contacts. The email address autofill feature when addressing an message pulls from Contacts and from the list of previous recipients.
    Different from the Mail app on a Mac, there is no access to the list of previous recipients with iOS on an iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad to remove a previous recipient from the list, or to add a previous recipient to the address book or contacts that is not already entered - not at the present time anyway.
    The only way to purge the list of previous recipients at the present time is by restoring your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup, which will start being re-populated again with every sent message.

  • An incorrect email address I put in the BCC field has repeated itself infinitely and blocked outgoing messages. I can select but not delete the long list from the Warning. What can I do?

    I put an incorrect email address in the BCC field of an email. A 'Warning' dropped down where the address was repeated until it fell off the bottom of the screen. No closure button at the top so I can't close it. I can select all the repeat addresses but can't delete them. I can't shut down or restart the computer because Mail can't close. Any ideas, please?

    Aha! Pressed escape button and managed finally to close the Warning. Phew! I could then erase several hundred repeats of the mistaken address from the BCC field. Sorry to bother you all. Hellen.

    How do I delete a incorrect email address I typed in a sent email from the suggested email address list when I start typing again?

    You can't. There is no way to eliminate those remembered addresses in the mail app. Eventually if you keep ignoring that address it will go away, but it can take some time before it disappears. The only way that you can eliminate now, is by restoring the iPad to factory settings and that's pretty radical just to get rid of a mistyped email address - IMO anyway.

    I have deleted one email address from Address Book, and it is gone in the address book. However when I start an email to this person, that deleted email address still shows up as a choice below the current email address of this person. How do I delete the old email address from this location?
    Thanks to someone who can answer this

    Eva, I found where the previous recipient information is actually stored, unfortunately I don't have a solution yet though.
    Mail's "previous recipients" list is actually stored in ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/AddressBook.data. However, as the name suggests this is actually where all your Address Book information is stored. Deleting the file AddressBook.data got rid of my entire Previous Recipients list, unfortunately it deleted my entire Address Book as well. Dragging the file back to the Application Support folder caused every Address Book entry to be duplicated... so I don't recommend this strategy
    I reverted to an Address Book backup to set things right again.
    So it would appear your mystery addresses are probably in the AddressBook.data file, unfortunately I still don't know how to excise the ones you don't want.

  • HT5622 When my daughter got her first iphone we set it up with my email address, she now has her own email & new iphone.  I want to use my email address for my icloud, can I delete the content  from the icloud account and continue to use my email?

    When my daughter got her first iphone we set it up with my email address, she now has her own email & new iphone.  I want to use my email address for my icloud, can I delete the content from the icloud account and continue to use my email?

    Yes, but be sure she is on a separate iCloud account with a separate ID before deleting anything.  Be sure there is nothing that you want to keep on your device too.  When you delete the data from iCloud it will be deleted from all devices signed into the account.  Then you can delete the data from the existing account by doing the following:
    To delete the contacts, go to iCloud.com from your computer, log into your iCloud account and open Contacts, click on All Contacts on the left, to the right click on any single contact to select it, click on the Actions (gear shaped) icon at the bottom left and choose Select All, then press the Delete key on your keyboard.
    For Calendars, open the calendar on icloud.com, click Edit on the bottom left, then tap the minus sign to the right of each calendar to delete it.
    For Notes, open notes on icloud.com, click on each note on the left, then click Delete at the top to delete it.
    For Reminders, open reminders on icloud.com, click on each reminder and press your Delete key to delete it.
    For Mail, open your mail on icloud.com, click each folder on the left (such as your inbox), click on a single message to the right, press Control-A on your keyboard to select them all, then press your Delete key.  Repeat this for each of your mail folders except Trash.  When finished, click on the actions (gear-shaped) icon on the bottom left and select Empty Trash.
    If you also want to delete your iCloud backups you can go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage on your device, tap the name of your device under Backups, then tap Delete Backup.

  • My internet accounts preference does not recognize that I have deleted an email address.  It wants to connect to deleted email to send out, HELP

    My email internet accounts does not recognize that I have deleted an gmail account.  It wants to connect before it sends a message.  How do I change this?  I thought I changed all my settings to reflect my new mail address - but I must have missed one.

    That was a bit of a bonehead move.  Did you actually change the email address associated with the Apple ID before deleting the email account?

    Yeah, because the email associated with the Apple ID is deleted and the account is having issue.
    Stop using the new Apple ID.
    Log into the original Apple ID.  Change the email address associated with the Apple ID.
    It should then be possible to update the apps associated with the original Apple ID.

  • 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
