    When I type the first two letters of a contact in the "To" field, it causes additional contacts to be listed that doesn't even start with the same letters. The unwanted contacts either has first two letters as part of their email address or their last name (see image - only the top contact is the desired contact).


    Is there a way to rectify this?


    Your time and effort will be greatly appreciated.

    Email contacts missing


    1. If you open Mail app and click the + sign for New mail > type first couple of letters of a contact name > will a list of suggested names appear ?

    2. Go to All apps > scroll to P > click People. Is the contact list there ?

    Yahoo Email Contacts List

    At work I have a rather large list of contacts, sometimes I have multiple email addresses within one single contact. For example, lets say I have a contact "Bob", within that contact I have L: emailaddress1@techpowerupisawesome.com and L: emailaddress2@techpowerupisawesome.com. When I begin a new email, if I type "Bob", both of these addresses will appear, but I can only select one. I'd like to select both without having to retype Bob to make the list appear again to click the other.

    I'm aware you can click the "To:" button to make the list of contacts appear, but you need to scroll down and find your contact, then shift click to select them all. Scrolling around can be troublesome with the amount of contacts I have. I'm not really interested in making groups for various reasons.

    So is what I'm trying to do possible or am I asking too much?
