Cannot delete email "from address".

Hello, I am currently using OS X Yosemite v10.10.5, MacBook Pro (retina, 13 inches, early 2015)

  • I recently tried to add another account to my email accounts
  • It did not work, so deleted the said e-mail account > Preferences > accounts > select the account I wanted deleted and clicked on «-»
  • When I create a new email to send, deleting account still appears as an option in the From: drop down.
  • The account is not visible in Mail > Preferences > accounts or in system preferences > Internet accounts.
  • I deleted the SMTP accounts as directed by this link: http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/167886/how-make-mac-os-mail-connection-m doctor-forget-more older-accounts

I would please ask for help on how to remove the deleted account from From: drop-down list?

Check the previous recipients list in Mail and delete from there.

In addition, amend the list of SMTP Mail preferences and remove this address if it appears.

  • Cannot delete emails from Outlook Express. Help, please!

    OK, stuck in my Outlook Express again. Someone sent me 2 emails that I can't remove. Help, please! I'll save the news this time, since it seems to happen more. Why? Beyond me!

    Don't worry about what Vijay suggests until you move all messages from the Inbox you want to keep.  His suggestion will scan all messages in your Inbox.

    If you are unable to delete e-mails, your deleted items folder go corrupt.  Move anything out of this folder that you want to keep, then close OE and delete the deleted items.dbx file.  OE will create a new.

  • Emails are not sent and cannot delete emails from the Inbox

    I recently bought an iMac, retina of 27-inch end 2015 model 5 k pro. 3.2 GHz Intel Core i5 8 gb 1867 MHz DDR3
    I use OS x El Capitan v 10.11.4 and Mail v9.3

    E-mail was setup and fine for a month or so of work. Yesterday, it started to get really slow and slower.
    It allows me to delete messages in my Inbox and it wont let me move messages to other folders.
    It also will not let send me e-mail messages.  It won't even put it in my drafts folder, they disappear.
    Then in the column on the left down at the bottom it says "send message" and is stuck on about 1/4 of the way and never ended up sending.

    I have read in this forum and tried a few things to fix it without success.
    And I even went in connection doctor and it says that everything is connected and works fine.

    Very frustrated because I need emails for my business and it has not worked for two days.

    Anyone has any suggestions for me on what to try next?

    See if reconstruction of the support mailbox.

  • Outlook express on windows xp professional, cannot delete emails from the Outbox and continues to send a copy by e-mail

    I use outlook express on windows xp professional (OEM:Dell), I'm unable to delete e-mails from the Outbox and continues to send a copy by e-mail. How to remedy?

    Check: File | Work offline and in: reviews | Layout: uncheck the preview pane. Can delete you it now?

    Otherwise:

    Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.

    In Windows XP, 2K & 2K 3, files from user OE (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in the Solution Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder options | View.

    With OE closed, find the DBX the Outbox.dbx file and delete it. A new vacuum will be created automatically when you open OE.

  • cannot delete emails from the Inbox

    Using Outlook Express.  Some emails go in box shipping and stuck there.  Messages are sent repeatedly but not appear in the sent mail or leave the Outbox.

    You have posted on the forum for Windows XP Performance and Maintenance, and you probably should have posted in the Forum Win XP Internet Explorer since OE is part of Internet Explorer.  If your message is not answered, a moderator of the Forum will eventually move your question, but you can also move it yourself if you want to.

    At the end of your first post (original post) is a button change. Click on the button and change the Forum the Forum there is Internet Explorer.  Click on all subjects, and in the menu drop-down menus, select your product information and the subject. This will put you in the forum that fits your problem.

    Kind regards...

  • cannot delete emails in outlook express

    Original title: outlook express

    cannot delete emails from the Inbox

    1. move all the messages you want to keep out folders, sent items and deleted items, and in other local OE folders you have created for archiving (backup) of such messages.

    1B. move 99% of your messages in your Inbox folder to other folders the of OE, too.

    2. Note the location of the store of your identity (http://www.insideoe.com/files/store.htm#storemain).

    2B. turn on "Show hidden folders and files" via start | Control Panel | Folder options | View (seehttp://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial62.html).

    3. close OE.

    4. in Windows Explorer, navigate to your storage folder, find & removeOutbox.dbx, Sent Items.dbxand Deleted Items.dbxfile.

    To avoid such problems in the future, comply with the following restrictions:

    N ' not use Inbox or sent items to archive messages.  Move them to local folders created for this purpose.

    -Empty the deleted items folder daily.

    -Frequently perform a manual compact of all OE while records that "work offline".  More onhttp://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm

    -Do not cancel automatic compacting, where it would happen and do not try to close OE via Manager tasks or stop your Automatic compaction machine can take place.

    -Disable e-mail scanning in your antivirus application.  It can cause corruption (i.e., loss of messages) and offers no additional protection:

  • How to permanently delete emails from my computer?

    When we remove the trash on Thunderbird emails, are they removed and replaced (such as Secure Empty Trash on a Mac), or are they still recoverable from somewhere on the computer? If the latter, how can you completely delete and overwrite the deleted emails from the Thunderbird trash folder?

    Thank you

    Beachwalk43

    Simple: compact your trash folders after deleting.

    You might close Thunderbird, ferret on his profile and remove garbage files, and of course you are free to use all of the 3rd party utilities for scrubbing erased files.

    I read users who run Firefox in the batch that deletes all the files that can store data in the session after Firefox has been closed. You may be able to adapt and adopt this approach too.

  • After adding a new account, I can't delete emails from the Inbox for this account.

    I just added a sixth account to my installation of Thunderbird. There was no problem in adding the account and I can send and receive emails without problem. However, I can't delete emails from the Inbox. What should I do to correct this?

    OK, then compact Inbox:

    Right click on Inbox - Compact

    It is recommended that you enable automatic compaction. More information on the compaction in this article.

    http://KB.mozillazine.org/Compacting_folders

    I don't expect more problems with deleting messages after compaction.

    If you still have problems, follow these instructions.
