Hello all. I have a few email address that start to populate when I send an email, and I would like to get rid of them. Sold some stuff on craigslist, and now I can't find a way to remove them.
Any help?

Hi! I have an old Yahoo. I'll look into their options for you. However you can change your account settings on the phone to not sync Yahoo contacts via settings, and email + accounts. Select the account, and take the tick out of contacts.
How about unlinking the yahoo account from your windows account?
Sorry, I don't see a similar option for Yahoo. You could unlink the account by using https://account.live.com/Permissions and then selecting "manage your accounts". When you get to the new page, you should see Yahoo listed, if you do, click "edit" and you'll see the option to remove account near the bottom of the page.
Yeah, I don't want to remove my yahoo account, as I still use it. The email addresses that are populating are not saved contacts. For example this is what is happening.
I have two email accounts on my phone, 1 for outlook and 1 for yahoo.
I replied to a few craigslist questions through my yahoo email. I did not save the addresses, only replied. I will never use those email addresses again.
I went to send an email through my phone using my outlook account, and email addresses are populating with addresses(when I hit a "J" for example) from when I replied through my yahoo mail. I never sent an email to that address through my outlook account.
It appears there is a setting on the phone somewhere, which we may not have access to that saves every email address you send to, and makes them available to any account. I don't think it should be doing this though.
The same email address are not populating if I go through Yahoo! or www.outlook.com. This only happens on the phone, so it appears it is an issue with the phone.
I think it would save some confusion if you just left the Outlook part out of your issue...
You sent some emails to one off accounts that you will never email again, yet they still pop up in the "Autofill" when you are trying to email someone...why and how do you get rid of it? - That is the question I would pose.
I do not have an answer, but I see the same thing, mostly in the form of duplicates. When I type in my wife's email address to shoot a quick note, her name/email pops up ~3-4 times. I think that would mostly be to having received and replied to the same email with multiple name headings (when she emails from HER phone her name is "Wife (Phone)" and from her computer it is "Wife Middle Last" and from the tablet it is "Wife Last"; you get the idea).
I only have 1 contact for her in my phone.
