Title: remove an email from windows 10 email
Post by: whitjs on April 17, 2020, 10:38:45 AM

I have been trying to find a way to remove an email address from
my email list (windows 10). All I can find is to remove my account
and start again.
Is there a way I can remove emails without removing my account?
Thanks

So, after over 8600 views my question is still not answered!
Does that mean there is no way of deleting individual email addresses or there is no answer?
I sure can't seem to find a way and I really don't want to delete my email account and start again.

Please clarify EXACTLY what it is you want to accomplish. I don't understand what you mean when you say you want to remove an email address from your email list.

I want to be able to delete email addresses that I no longer use.

Remove them from what? From where? Autofill? The address book? Or are you trying to delete your own old email addresses? Your one sentence response aren't helpful.

I am using windows 10 with outlook email.
I am trying to clean up my email contacts from my list of email addresses.
I can't bring up a full list of emails that I have.  When I go into my email
program, at the bottom left there are two heads icon. When I click on those
I get some of my email contacts but only a few.
While trying to figure this out, I found that I had a setting turned on that would
automatically save any email addressed that I emailed something to.
I have since turned this feature off.

Got it.

There are only two options to do what you want that I'm aware of:

1) Open a new email and in the TO box, enter a letter. You will see a list of autofill names and email addresses. You can click on the "X" on the right side to remove each individual entry from autofil.

2) You can use a third party utility: https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/outlook_nk2_autocomplete.html
