Q: Deleting Old Email Addresses From Cache?
Two of my contacts have changed there email addresses, and I updated it in contacts, however as I begin to type there email in the "To" section I get a list of emails addresses popping up including the ones I deleted from my contacts. I assume they are coming from some kind of cache, but have not found a way to delete those emails that pop up. It's a nice feature, but if the emails are not correct it really does not help.

As with the Mail app on a Mac, the iPad's Mail app stores all email recipients in a list of previous recipients. The autofill feature for email addresses when addressing an email pulls from contacts and from the list of previous recipients.
Different from the Mail app on a Mac, there is not a way to access the list of previous recipients to remove a previous recipient from the list, or add a previous recipient to the address book or contacts that is not already entered - not at the present time anyway.
To purge the entire list requires restoring the iPad with iTunes as a new iPad or not from the iPad's backup.
