How to remove an incorrect email My iPhone somehow has an incorrect email in its system, it’s a slight variation of my correct email that I’ve had for more than 15 years. I keep getting a message to verify my email. When I try to do that it requests me to enter the password for the incorrect email, which I can’t do. If I select “forgot password” it wants to send a link to the incorrect email which of course I can’t access. I’ve been trying to resolve this for about 3 years-(which is how long I’ve had the iPhone). Does anyone have a suggestion on how to remove this incorrect email address. Thanks

ID verification issue My iPhone have several email addresses, and all of them worked perfectly until a few months ago. Suddenly, one of my email addresses, "****@takadaco.com" disappeared from my iPhone. The rest of the email address are working well. I deleted the email address "****@takadaco.com" from my iPhone in an attempt to re-add the email address to see if it worked. After a number of attempts, I get a screen saying that I have a verification issue. I need an advice to get the email address back to my iPhone. The email address works fine on my laptop computer.
