email addresses

catter70 · ‎10-11-2017

I'm no techie by any means but I was wondering if there is any way to delete email addresses from ones computer? It seems like when people do a reply to all you get all kinds of addresses of people you don't even know.

What? These people get saved in your contact list?

@glb613, Yes they get saved and I don't know how to remove the.

Seems like all the people on a "reply all" email shouldn't be automatically added to your contacts / address book. I wonder if you need to change something in your email settings.

I agree, it has to have something to do with her email settings.

With multiple different devices, I've never had the other email addys on a CC email, being added to my contact list.

For those that have already been added to her contacts, go into 'contacts' on your email service and click on 'delete'.

But check your email settings first or google the problem, to prevent this from happening to begin with.

You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.

Thanks, everybody. I'll have to try some things out and hope I don't make it worse.

Check your address book and see if there's something called collected addresses. That's where email addresses that you didn't add yourself end up. You should be able to delete them from there.

My Apple computers remember e-mail addresses but, doesn't add them to my contact list. When I start to type in an e-mail address, a list of people with the first letter I type will appear. It's nice because I don't have to look it up or add someone I'm not going to communicate with on a ongoing basis.
