    I edit a windows mail contact, but the old name info comes up in the suggested address list.


    I have edited a contact name and saved it in the "people" section of windows mail. When I go to send a message and type part of the contacts last name the old, unedited information still comes up. How do I correct thi? It is really unfortunate - as I have tried to delete the name of a deceased spouse from a contact name, but the name still shows up!!!!!

    :)

    Win10 Mail - where's the address book?

    That’s now the People app. I edit a windows mail contact, but the old name info comes up in the suggested address list. :)
    If you know the contact's name or email address & they’re listed in the People app, you can start typing the first few letters of their name or email address and Mail for Windows 10 will suggest matching contacts.

  3. Old Contacts and Email Addresses Appearing in Windows 10 Mail

    In windows 10 People, I have a list of 42 current contacts.

    When I start a new email in Windows 10 Mail and type a letter so the program can list my current contacts, the program gives me an extended list of current and old email contacts names and email addresses. Where is this extended list? How do I edit it
    and delete the old contact names and addresses?

    How to edit suggestions for TO: in Mail

    I am running the Mail client in Windows 10. I want to write an e-mail and put the cursor after the "TO" field and the enter the first character of the TO address. A list of suggested e mail addresses appears including contacts and no-reply e-mail addresses
    from messages sent to me from businesses.

    I cannot find a way of editing these suggestions to eliminate unwanted suggestions. Anyone have this issue? Anyone have a solution?
