Why can't I delete wrong email in iphone 5

I am trying to text someone who I only have a phone # for. In contacts I press 'send message' it opens a new iMessage with an email of somebody totally unrelated and even after deleteing that contact it still returns. There seems to be no way for me to message the correct person.
I have iphone 5, an exchange account, gmail account and icloud account connected.

Go to
https://appleid.apple.com/
Select Manage your Apple ID

Under Apple ID and Primary Email address go to edit
Set a new email address or add a secondary one
hope that helped

Why can I not delete any emails on iPhone. 5?

Why can I not delete any emails on my iphone5?

Thx. That seems to have solved my problem. I don't know but just all of a sudden when I opened an emal there was no option at the bottom. After doing as you suggested, now all the options are back. Quite confusing to me. I do appreciate your suggestion and fix.

On an iMac why can't you delete an email without opening it?

Why can't I delete an email without opening it first? Is this not a security risk as I have always been advised that, if I don't know who the email is from, I should delete it so as to avoid opening any suspect attachments that open immediately.
This is my first Mac so could it be that I have not realised how to do this?
My wife can do this on her iPad.

A couple of points:
1. Your concern is not really an issue with macs. More of a PC thing. "Suspect attachments" are extremely, extremely rare for a mac. I mean, like one since 1984, when I bought my first mac. The reason is that Apple seems to be on top of things and keeps updating mac software to protect your mac from this sort of thing. Just keep up with the system updates and you won't have a problem. Microsoft, on the other hand, makes tons of security holes in their software because of their mindset, i.e., that the consumer is a moron and the enemy.
2. In my mail.app, there are three columns in the message viewer, the first which lists the mailboxes, the second which lists the emails, and the third which is a preview window. I can select an email in the second column and delete it without opening it, so I don't see what the problem is that you're having.

Why can't I delete Mail from my iPhone? it just allows me to Archive, and where do the archives go?

Why can't I delete Mail from my iPhone? it just allows me to Archive, and where do the archives go?

You'll have to go to your Settings -> Mail, Contacts, etc -> Email Account -> Advanced -> Deleted Mailbox
Turn off Archive mode, Turn on Trash
You can also put the phone in airplane mode to delete them real quick, but that's only a temporary fix.

Why can't I delete a pic from iPhone album in ios8?

Why can't I delete a pic from iPhone album in ios8?

Now that you mention it, my parents don't need to see my playlists, either. Hadn't thought of that.
I accidently stumbled on an "ad-hoc" workaround that helped me. The downside is that it only works with smart playlists so it may or may not work for you. But here it is anyway:
Smart playlists will not be uploaded to the cloud if they refeence another playlist on the cloud. So I created a "catch-all" smart playlist and added a reference to that in all the smart playlists I don't want to share.
I also noticed that playlists with more than just music are not uploaded. You could add a short video or something to the playlists that are only for the iMac. This obviously won't work if your daughter needs them on her iDevice.
I know these aren't good solutions, but I hope they help someone.
Cheers,

Why can't I delete some emails that have no content?

I have some emails that when I try to delete them the email app closes I cannot even select the email without the app closeing

Did you try swiping the emails from the list view? You don't have to open the emails - just swipe on the message in the list from left to right and a red delete button pops up.
Try resetting the iPad. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 101-5 seconds until the Apple logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. See if that helps.
You can try closing mail as well. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close mail by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on the mail app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close it. Restart the iPad - by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button. See if you can delete the emails now.

Why can't I delete my emails?

Once I delete an email, it automatically reappears. How do I stop this?

I'm having this problem too -- I want to clear out my inbox of more than 20,000 messages but whenever I try to delete a big batch, they reappear.
I'm having this problem with a POP account and I just created an IMAP account to see if this might be the issue.

Why can't I delete music from my iphone using itunes match anymore?

I thought for sure I used to be able to swipe to delete albums or tracks on my iphone - on my iphone 5 I can no longer do this. I found that if I turn itunes match off, I can delete. But turning itunes match on and off a lot is really a huge issue. It seems every time I do this the iphone loses track of some of the music.
Why why why can't these problems be fixed?!

Awful, awful awful.
Apple ... what were you thinking, and why did you mess up your product so badly?
Why are you screwing over those who are the most devoted, who paid for an extra?
Really. Could this be more frustrating:
You download a great new album!
You want to listen to it on your iPhone!
Oh wait, your iPhone is full. Over capacity. AND YOU SPEND AN HOUR TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET SONGS OFF YOUR IPHONE, reading every forum and every trick to somehow make the product work the way it should. Trying to clear some space for that great new album you just got!
But it still doesn't.
... frustrated, you end up deleting the whole library. Because there seems to be no other way to clear space.
And re-download.
But "use cellular data" is back on, so it downloads when you're out.
And your phone bill is now $300 because you live in Canada and the data caps are so low.
Great. Now I paid over $350 to get my music I already own onto the phone.
At this point, the old USB seems like a better option. Or even the firewire 400. Longing for the days of my 10 gig iPod with a FireWire cable.
Thanks. So much for "positive user experience".
Easy to buy music, hard to get it on to your device. But as long as I've already given you my money, who cares right?!

Why can't I delete texts from my iPhone 4S?

I'm having issues deleting texts from my iPhone 4S. When I try to delete them, it freezes my messages. When I restart the phone, the texts that I attempted to delete, reappear. Is there any way to fix this? I'm not sure why this is doing this, but it's rather frustrating.

Why can't I delete my email messages?

All of a sudden yesterday I could no long make any changes to my emails. I couldn't delete them or forward them, or reply to them. Why??? I use this every day.

Firefox doesn't do email, it's strictly a web browser.
If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.
If your problem is with Mozilla Thunderbird, let us know and we can move this thread to the Thunderbird queue. This question currently is in the Firefox queue for answers.

Ah...there's your answer. You're gonna have to delete the profile first before you can delete the account.

Why can't I delete photos from my iPhone 5.0.1 OS?

Just upgraded to this iOS version which was a pain in itself!!! Now there is no "Delete" option in my photo albums for photos. What gives? Anyone else having this problem? I am running latest iTunes and a Mac 10.6.8
Thnaks,
Amy

The only photos you can delete on the iPhone are in the Camera Roll. If the photos you want to delete are in albums you've synced, you need to unsync them through iTunes.
