Need to remove old contacts in Yahoo Mail? Here’s how. Open your Yahoo inbox and compose an email message.
Type in the first letter of a contact. You’ll see contact suggestions in a drop-down menu.
Hover your mouse over the suggested contact you want to delete. You’ll see an X to the far right. In this case, I’ll be deleting the email address of one of the UPS Store.
Now, when I type the letter “u,” there’s no longer a suggestion for the UPS Store. Don’t worry guys, I’ll still find you if I have a complaint.
I have a gmail contact question. my friend changed her email address. so when I start to type her name, gmail suggests both her new and old email addresses. I just send it to both emails because I don’t know for sure which is the newer address. I have edited her contact information to have only the new email address. that hasn’t solved the gmail suggestions. thanks

I removed my friend’s OLD contact info/email address from my gmail contacts list. I do have her listed as a contact with just her new email address. But when I compose an email to her via gmail, when I start to type her first name, her old email address still turns up as the suggested choice. Then I start to wonder if I’m sending to her old email, or new email (I don’t often email her). So I send it to both the new and old email addresses,since they both pop up as suggestions, because i don’t feel like taking the time to check my google contact list to see what her new email address is.
Try the steps suggested in the article I link to. Make sure to search for the address as directed: https://cynmackley.com/2018/01/16/getting-rid-of-an-old-gmail-contact/
I’m saying DUH to myself….Thank you so very much for your patient instructions to me. Problem solved 🙂
The Yahoo approach does not work for me. I key in a letter in Contacts, 4 or 5 names appear, I hover over the one to be removed, but there is no “x” on the right hand side.
