Auto fill in To field

[PSRJane]

I have Mail set to autofill in addresses, but it's filling in addresses of
people who aren't in my contacts. These people HAVE sent me emails in the
past but I chose not to save their contact info. Any insights to this
mystery? I really don't want it to do this...

Windows Mail doesn't use the contacts list to autofill addresses.
It uses a separate list of the last 29 addresses you sent messages
to instead. This list is very hard to edit; it's easier just to send
messages to the 29 addresses you want on the list.

If you'd rather use the contacts list, when you start a new message,
don't type any part of the address. Instead, click on Tools, then
Select Recipients in the new message window.
