When I edit a contact's email address and then type the name in the Mail App, I see both the new and old address.  Why don't I see only the new email address?

When I edit an email address in the Contacts App, and the type the Contact's name in the Mail App, I get both the old and new contacts.  Why don't I get only the updated email address?

Mail remembers previously used email addresses for a period of time. Those you no longer use will eventually disappear. After you have sent one or two emails to the new address the old address will move below the new one. Then after a period of time not sending to the old address it will disappear. Patience is the key.

  • When i share a contact from my iphone and sent it to any other iphone the information within the notes tab displays in correctly

    When i share a contact from my iphone and sent it to any other iphone the information within the notes tab displays incorrectly,
    .I usually use this tab for doctors and allergies

    I just attempted the share myself with a contact and found it did not transmit the notes field either. I've only used this method for sharing maybe twice since I've had my iPhones. I don't remember if it ever worked before, and then I wouldn't know why it wouldn't. Sorry I couldn't help any more than that.

  • In Address Book, Lion, what are the checkmarks for when you Edit a Contact?

    In Address Book for Lion, when you are in the Add/Edit a Contact window, what are the checkboxes for?

    I am not seeing any checkboxes when I edit in Address Book in Lion, can you take a screen shot (Shift Command 4) of what you're seeing and post it?
    BTW please fill out your profile (under Your Stuff above) so we know what machine and version of Lion you're using.

  • HT1692 When I delete a contact from my address book, why does their name appear when I'm scrolling through names to text?

    I have deleted several contacts from my address book. However, when I type "d" for example to select a contact for text messaging, the deleted contacts still appear in the list! How can I solve this?

    This has to do with this information being held in a separate cache in the phone. There are two choices here. You can restore the phone as a new device, which is the only true way to remove this cache; or you can wait until the information is overwritten in the cache, and no one has been able to describe how long that takes, so I would say the only way to really do it is the restore as new, and not from a backup. This will delete all of your data and you will need to sync data back individually.

  • When I check my contacts, my email gets pushed to my phone...

    Everytime I go into my contacts to call someone, my iPhone retrieves my emails. Any idea as to what would cause this? I have the iPhone 3GS ver 3.1.2. I have tried to do a factory restore but the problem still exists. I'm completely lost.

    Just tried mine.
    All set to manual.
    Mixture of CalDav, Exchange(e-mail, calendar and contacts) and IMAP email accounts
    I sent myself a test e-mail, made sure it was on my IMAP server then checked my contacts.
    The device did a refresh (to check the Exchange contacts) but did not push the e-mail to me.
    Opened e-mail app and the phone manually fetched the e-mail.
    All correct

  • When I get a phone call and them want to save the contact, no keyboard comes up to type the name.  How do I fix that?

    When I get a phone call , then want to save the message, no keyboard comes up to type the name.  How do I fix that? 

    You can open the Phone app then tap Recents then the blue 'i" in a blue circle at the right of the number then "Create New Contact" then tap a field such as "First" name and the keyboard should appear.

  • What does it mean when someone in your contacts list is blue and has a person ign on it?

    I updated my iPod yesterday to version 6.1.3 and then a few minutes later, I looked at my contacts list and I had all of my mom's contacts and mine. I deleted them from my iPod and then on her phone all of my contacts appeared, along with 3 of hers. I looked at her name in my iPod and it apeared to be blue. How do I fix this? How can I get my mom's contacts back? The same thing happened with our reminders and notes. I don't know if this happende to other applications.

    I have logged in to manage my account, change password and i can do all of that.
    Since you can access your account details and change your password try this...
    Launch iTunes. From the iTunes menu bar click iTunes / Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
    Click: Reset warnings & Reset cache.
    Restart your computer and restart your iPhone.
    Try updating your apps.

  • Cannot Get Mail - Mail app has been frozen, no new downloads, since 7/14.

    My mail app has been frozen since 7/14, and usually it just says it was updated on 7/2/14. However, occasionally, it gives me the message: "The mail server 'imap.gmail.com' is not responding. Verify that you have entered the correct account info in Mail settings."
    Needless to say, I have done this. I have quit the app many times, reset the iPad, and finally last night I broke down and downloaded the 8.3 update (I was using 7.something before), and I am STILL getting this message and no new emails!
    I can check on my phone and computer browsers just fine. Is there something I'm missing here? Really appreciate any help anyone can give. I finally got fed up not having this functionality.
    THANK YOU!!!!

    I should mention the only other idea I've had is to delete my gmail account from my mail app, and re-add it later?

    Hi af32,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand how concerning it must be to not be able to open the Mail application. In this situation I would read over the first small article attached.
    OS X Mavericks: If you can’t open an app
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13849
    If you still cannot open Mail, it may be necessary to reinstall OS X.

  • Mail app says I have 8554 new mail messages but my mailbox is empty om my iPhone 4S

    my iphone 4s mail app shows that i have 8554 emails but my mailbox is all empty. it started doing this after i did the software update to the newest version on 2-20-2014. I was deleting old messages and then it started. How do I fix this? I deleted my email account and then put it back on and it still shows 8554 emails.

    Okay I figured it out. I downloaded CleanApp. I dragged Mail.app to it as if I were going to uninstall it, and unchecked the app itself. I then deleted all the other files, and restarted Mail.app.
    Everything's back to defaults.

  • Mail.app won't autocheck for new mail on launch. Why???

    Hi,
    My dad's an internet newbie. I have him set up on my old iMac G4, running 10.4.2 (still need to get him upgraded to 10.4.3). He's using Mail.app with an SBCglobal.net (Yahoo) DSL account.
    The account was set up on his Mac via the wizard that SBC provides for OS X on their install CD. This is the only account he has, and in Mail.app preferences, under Accounts/Advanced, "Enable this account" and "include when automatically checking for new mail" are both checked. Also, under General preferences, he's set to check for new mail every minutes.
    All that being said, as far as I can tell, Mail.app will not automatically log on and check with SBC for new mail upon program launch. He must manually click on the Get Mail button in the toolbar to see his mail.
    I'm utterly stumped! Any ideas? Is there something funky about how SBC/Yahoo handles mail that I need to know about?
    Take care,
    Steve

    It would, because not while asleep. I said it should work correctly after the wakeup.
    Come on, you could add new accounts without a restart of the app. Where is the problem to start the process again after the wakeup?
    I hope you know what timeouts are - why should a server have such big timeouts to register that the machine is online after a few hours? thats not the work of the server.
    Really simple:
    o) machine online: client sends login, IDLE works fine.
    o) machine is asleep, crashes, lost the connection, ...: server tries and tries -> timeout
    o) machine wakes up, comes online again: client sends the login again

  • Mail app not working with iCloud, new emails and recently sent not showing at all in the app.

    I've been using the iCloud mail for quite some time now

    A lot of people have been unable to access Yahoo e-mail on their iPhones or iPads. My wife’s iPad was not downloading Yahoo mail, although her iPhone was. Both used IOS 8.2. We tried deleting the account several times and troubleshooting all of the other settings. The problem appears to have been that allowing the IOS to automatically create the account on the iPad resulted in the wrong settings for the incoming server. The following procedure, pieced together from two websites, fixed the problem for us. So far, so good.

    https://help.yahoo.com/kb/mobile-mail/imap-server-settings-sln4075.html
    On the iPhone, tap Settings.
    Tap Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
    Tap your Yahoo account, then delete it.
    Tap Add Account.
    Tap Other.
    Tap Add Mail Account.
    Complete the Name, Address (email address), Password and Description fields.
    Click Next.
    Ensure IMAP is selected.
    Enter the following incoming mail server information:
    Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server - Requires SSL
    Server: imap.mail.yahoo.com
    Port: 993
    Requires SSL: Yes
    Hostname is mail.yahoo.com.
    Username is your full email address
    Password is the same password used to access webmail.
    Enter the following outgoing mail server information:
    Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - Requires SSL
    Server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
    Port: 465 or 587
    Requires SSL: Yes
    Requires authentication: Yes
    Username is your full email address
    Password is the same password used to access webmail. It may have been entered for you.
    Tap Next.
    The iPhone will establish an SSL connection to your IMAP and SMTP servers.
    That’s all!
