Mac email

It seems like whenever I receive an email the sender's address gets added to my Mac mail contact list. How do I delete email addresses from my Mac mail? I can't seem to find an address book.

Previous senders can be removed by going to Mail>Window>Previous Recipients. You can select the unwanted recipients, and use the "Remove From List" option. Welcome to Mail on Mac - Apple Support


The "Contacts" application is the address book for macOS. It is located in your Applications Folder. It has nothing to do with storing previous recipients. Welcome to Contacts on Mac - Apple Support
