stop autofill when addressing e-mail

04. November 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: , , , , , ,

I have several old and outdated e-mail addresses that pop up like an autofill when I am addressing an e-mail.  These are not in my contact list but they must be in a memory of some sort.  I would like to remove some of these but cannot find information on how to do this.  For example:

 

New (Message startup)

To: <removed by the moderator> - this is the one I want, but I will get others as well

      <removed by the moderator>

      <removed by the moderator>

I sometimes e-mail myself a reminder about something from home to my workplace and it is annoying to have other former e-mail addresses automatically pop up in there.  I have accidentally e-mailed myself to the e-mail at former jobs.  EEEK!

Hotmail contact information missing

Lost email contacts and problems with Contacts mode. Why and how to solve?

29. October 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: , , , , , , , ,

So many of my old contacts seem to have just vanished from my contact list over the last while.  I have had to go through sent emails from people who had always on my list before to re-enter their contact information, but there are some people  for whom I don't even have old emails to get their addresses back.  Where did they go?  Could it have been Hotmail's fault when they implemented the new Contact format (which, by the way, I abhor)?  In send mode, when I push "to" a contact address might be there, but if I go to my contacts, it is not there.  I have a phantom contact address that was imperative to delete and which was deleted both on computer and cell phone, but which pops up occasionally and has caused a huge business loss as a result of an email going to that contact.  This phantom address can not be deleted when it pops up in the "To" mode, and does not exist when I go to my Contacts!  So there is risk of another email inadvertently being sent to that address.

 Also, when I get into the contact screen, it shuts me out from going back to my account and I have to login back in.  This is definitely not an improvement.  Hotmail has developed issues.

How can I delete an old contact that pops up when I start a new message but is not in my current contact list?

When I click new to begin composing a new message, then start typing the letters of the contact whom I want to send a message to,
an old contact name appears in the drop down menu. I deleted this contact months ago, but it keeps popping up. When I search for this contact in my contacts file, it is not there, so I am unable to delete it. How can I remove it?

Messenger – How do I get rid of the MSN website stuff on Messenger? All I want is to have my messenger contact list and not all the MSN news, social, games, etc.

Hotmail Contact List

What has happened to the Hotmail Contact list format?  I now don't seem to have the option to: 

a)  switch between a preference for first name/surname and surname/first name

b)  delete/edit a contact

c)  look at an alphabetical grouping - it just starts with 'A' 

Many thanks.

How do I block someone from messenger

18. October 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Messenger · Tags: , , , , , , ,

I wish to block unsolicited messages from messenger, people who are not on my contact list or ever been on my contact list. I understand that people not on contact list are supposedly unable to send messages since I am using 2011 Live version, but this has clearly failed miserably as everyone I know gets unsolicited messages from various people using various other IM systems. Reporting abuse has no effect. These people need to have their ISP address blocked, not just their account, otherwise they simply create another account name. It is your responsibility to keep spammers and abusers out of your messenger system and you seem little inclined to do so, indeed, several people have asked this question on different forums including your own, and yet no adequate response has been given by your company. This is appalling lack of service.
