Why is the email address showing in red

Roslyn,

Where is "the email address showing in red?"

I'm not the OP so situation may differ but I have the same question.

In my case, on my iPad Air 2 (with the latest ios9 version) when I go to to the mail app to send an email and I select any of my personal registered email addresses to send from (From:), be it either my icloud.com, me.com or gmail.com, it always shows the address(e's) in red rather than the blue. My 3 different addresses (two of which are iCloud.com and me.com and 1 which is my gmail.com and also my main Apple ID), are all verified and registered and everything.

In addition, after selecting a contacts address to send an email to (To:), the email address turns red even if the contact address appears blue in the drop down list when I start typing for the persons email fo send to.

I'm wondering if this is normal behavior?

As they used to be blue or green in color (as with texts and iMessages are), so why are they now all showing red, even my own address? Did i miss something here?

I didnt have this "issue" til iOS 9 I think...

Thanks!

You probably turned on 'Mark Addresses'. Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Mark Addresses. In the field 'MARK ADDRESSES NOT ENDING WITH', remove all characters and Mail should display addresses in blue again.

My corporate email security turned it on and I can't change it, but at least I know why

Thanks
