Answers.Text: Thanks Craig. Unfortunately this has not solved the problem. The email address showing up in that section is different from the 'preferred'/default one that I am trying to get rid of - which only appears in two places: When mailings contacts who have already booked for an event, and secondly, when manually registering an event. I want the option of this email address to disappear as it is incorrect

  I'm struggling to think of where you mean (it's been a day) could you take a screenshot of the pages you're looking at, and I'll see if that riings any bells.

  I'd look first at the event settings themselves.
  
  (From the manage events page, choose configure and then click to the online registration tab)
  
  At the foot of the page is the email confirmation settings
  [![email confirmation fields](https://i.sstatic.net/LGlkC.png)](https://i.sstatic.net/LGlkC.png)
  
  This is what governs the "from email address" in any confirmation message.
  
  Cheers
