Re: Deleting an Email Address that Autocompletes Incorrectly

['Tim Kilburn' via MacVisionaries]

Hi,

I'm not sure that this can be done in iOS 12 or earlier.  At least, not that 
I've found yet.

Deleting a contact is easy, but what about a previous recipient?

My thanks to everyone contributing to this thread.  I don't recall the
previous recipients list garnering much discussion on this email list,
and mine certainly needs pruning since it contains 493 entries.

Re: Deleting an Email Address that Autocompletes Incorrectly

[Jonathan Cohn]

Well, you should look in your contacts also. Both contacts and recent 
recipients have a search field that should help you. I find Google contacts 
particularly cumbersome with adding items I don't want. If you have a Google 
account, I would suggest not having it sync with your computer.

Best wishes,

Jonathan Cohn

Re: Deleting an Email Address that Autocompletes Incorrectly

[Craig Werner]

Tim, thank you.  Your suggestion worked in all but one case.  I
deleted a search string containing characters of a particular address
I never want to auto-complete, and when I type the first characters
into the "to" field of a new message, the address still autocompletes.
I literally read every entry in the "Previous Recipients" window and
can't find the address which persists in autocompleting.  Any other
place I should look, please?

Thank you.

Best,
Craig
