How to get rid of drop down menu entries in windows 10 mail app

Thank you for your response. I tried what you suggested and the email entry is still in the drop down list.

Even when I go to outlook and type in the first letter of her email address it appears in the drop-down list. The same with windows 10 mail app. as soon as I hit the letter "J" her email address is visible. For example when I open my email to send and email
and type the letter J into the "To" Box there is is a list of names and hers is there to, I don't want to see it there.

Best regards,

John

 

Cannot delete contacts from Windows 10 Mail App


Before someone suggests this as an answer, let me just say that I am aware that the Windows 10 Mail app supposedly gets its contacts from the Windows 10 People app. The People app on my computer has the precise contacts in it that it is supposed to. The problem with the Mail app is this: When I type the first letter of a contact's name, and the menu with a selection of contacts to choose from drops down, it includes contacts that I was able to delete from the People app. There does not appear to be any way to get rid of them. Any suggestions?

 

Cannot open mail app settings


OK, my next suggestion was going to be uninstalling Mail and Calendar and reinstalling from the Windows Store. You can have a go at this by following these steps.

1. Open the Start menu, type Windows PowerShell.
2. Right click on the Windows PowerShell and select Run as administrator.
3. Enter the below command to remove the Mail and calendar app.

get-appxpackage *microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps* | remove-appxpackage

After performing the above steps, install the Mail and calendar app from the Windows Store.

Hope this helps, you will, of course, have to add you accounts back again.
