Thank you Gary. I'm trying WLM instead for my Yahoo address. Previously I
have found I preferred the older WM.

Regards.

That special list of contacts is known as the auto-complete feature.
Windows Mail does not auto-complete from your regular contacts.
It uses a separate list of the last 29 recipients you've sent mail to.

You can delete the entire auto-complete list as follows:

Or try this other utility to selectively remove some unwanted addresses:

The newer replacement mail program, Windows Live Mail, uses the
standard contacts list for auto-completion.
You are encouraged to upgrade to the newer WLM program:

When I click on 'to' in Windows Mail the list of names offered does not match
the carefully compliled list in my Contacts folder. The 'to' list includes
names I want to remove but cannot see the way to do it and if possible make
the two lists the same.

Some help from out here please?

Thank you
