| | Auto fill in To field 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... |

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. |
