allow deletion of autofill contacts. it is dangerous to have no way of deleting old email contacts in the autofill feature.
i need to be able to delete incorrect old email addresses from the autofill list. i have sent confidential stuff to a person's old company.

outlook on sansung 9 auto fill has rubbish email address..So when I type in the first 3 or 4 letters of my name( I like to send notes to my self) I still have to search further or almost type in my whole email address.

Very very important! If an address is entered and used incorrectly once it will remain the default. e.g. If the address is A1234@outlook.com and you once use A1233@outlook.com, then you will forever see A1233 as the first suggestion. This is ridiculous and potentially dangerous if in a hurry.

allow me to remove/delete unwanted/incorrect email address from the auto fill memory.
Problem:- outlook has "saved" the WRONG email address, so each and EVERY time I enter the first few letters it doesn't offer me the address that I actually want. -

The option to remove the "suggested" email addresses when you start typing a name in the "to" field should be added. There are people I do not know, I see their email addresses and photo, I don't want to accidentally send an email to them. They are not in my contacts list, so please add the option to remove the auto-suggested email addresses.

when I start to compose an email address outlook will suggest email addresses that I typed before even if I mistyped and it bounced, or person no longer works here. Automatic cleanup of that list (it bounced) or a warning (no longer active) needed.

at present ANY interacted with email address pops up as a suggestion. If you just once make a spellig mistake when typing an address and you hit send, then that will be forever with you when looking for that person. The fact that this cannot be removed is a stated feature as per Microsoft Community questions/answers

everytime I want an email, hundreds of "ghost email addresses " pop up. I don't know them and I can't delete them either! GDPR encourages privacy and yet these email addresses are on my phone. Angry, isn't the word!

I've contacted outlook about this many times. They don't care. More concerned with social issues like Show your Pride

This is for the free outlook pc program "mail", and free android app "outlook". Need to be able to delete old cache or something, so suggested email recipients "autofill" only shows addresses in my contact file.

THIS IS APPALLING that Microsoft ARE STILL IGNORING their users on something that is causing a DATA BREACH & SCAMMERS ARE NOW USING THIS as a route to get emails sent to them by accident!!!!!!! They send you an email with your name in the 'Title name' (which they can easily do!) and then there is a chance you will send them something useful at some point! Surely this is a HUGE SECURITY RISK/BREACH??? Have seen posts since 2017 raising this exact error and Microsoft keep putting on the back burner so scammer have found a way to use it to their advantage with help from Microsoft!

Microsoft is too busy fighting social injustice to fix the problem. You can "Show your Pride" in the Outlook App, but you can't delete unwanted contact suggestions...

On my Android phone incorrect (typo errored or no longer valid ) auto fill addresses keep popping into the address space wherever I am typing certain emails. They prevent me from putting in the correct address. ** *This on my Android phone. *** Checked the web. Outlook is the only email service that doesn't let you delete or correct a incorrect email auto fill address on your Android phone. I would expect a lot better from Outlook. Please don't make me go to Google.
