  1. Deleting obsolete contact email addresses


    I have deleted out-of-date email addresses for my contacts in outlook.live.com but they still show up as options in the autocomplete both here and in the Windows app. For example, I now have 6 addresses to wade through on the autocomplete for my husband no delete buttons anywhere- and try to remember which is the current one!

    :)

  2. How to delete suggested email addresses in Windows 10 APP 2023

    There are tons of suggested email addresses that show up in a drop down menu when I am starting to type an email address into the "To:" field, when composing a new email, in Windows 10 app. They are not listed on my contacts. How can I delete these so that only the ones I use often show up? Redirecting.
    This thread is obsolete, and the steps DO NOT apply.

    When following step 1) you begin typing the email address to have the suggested emails pop up - and you cannot right click, select, open contact properties at all.

    When following step 2) This step is entirely ignorant of the fact that these "suggested" emails that pop up - are NOT in the contacts list.

    Can someone please explain how to remove this woefully annoying "Suggested" contact, with a current method, please?

  3. How to delete an obsolete or incorrect email address in Windows 10 Mail

    Hi Nyima Yonten , I do
    Agree with CindyBaudhu - (Issue not resolved).
    The obsolete contact do not appear in People app but lists in TO List as we type the name, for both obsolete and new entry. Unless one is careful not to choose the right email id, obsolete email id gets selected. for instance, shruthi.r(now obsolete) gets
    listed along with r.shruthi(renamed by company from shruthi.r), as the old email id already looked saved in outlook database somewhere(?) on the local hard drive(?). This obsolete older entry popping up in the TO Line writing new emails needs deletion. Is
    there a way I could do this ?

    How to you delete obsolete email addresses in Windows Mail?

    I see the email address when I start to compose a new message and when I type in a letter into the "To" box, Windows Mail lists all the email addresses that start with that letter. In that group are generally some obsolete email addresses.
