While addressing outgoing emails, sometime addresses that where previously deleted from my Contacts list pop up in the TO or Cc, or Bcc lines.
I have to check the addresses very carefully before dispatching each email, lest it will go to the wrong address.
How can this happen?
How can I stop it?
Tks.
MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.13
I too have Sri sometimes finding email address in Applications even with it turn OFF but still active in Internal Accounts. I juts ignore it and carry on - it does not interfere in the composing of a New e-mail at all on my setup.
refer to picture below
In fact problem is still there, after I so-called removed the culprit, as instructed.
It comes under a notification "Siri found in Apps" in faint print.
Am not sure what it means as am not using Siri and I see no connection between address and Siri,
Over to you
Those “ghosts” appear after typing the first 2-3 letters of certain email addresses. I did find a minor "ghost" in the Previous Recipients list, but not the two MAJOR culprits, which trouble me most. I say “major” because of the relatively heavy traffic I conduct with the addresses they interfere with.
Those two “ghosts” do not exist in my Contacts list, nor in the Previous Recipients list.
Then, in a moment of enlightenment, I thought of Blocked Contacts. I deleted the contents of Blocked Contacts box (that contained abt 400 items) and those “ghost” have disappeared. Apparently they were triggered by blocked addresses.
I now wonder if that was a smart thing to do.
I fear that an empty Blocked Contacts Mailbox will mean a flood of junk mail.
I can of course reverse the situation by importing back the Blocked Contacts Box from my backup external disk.
What do you suggest?
Tks.
Welcome and so the issue is now gone ?
In Apple Mail >> Top Menu >> " Window " and look for " Previous Recipients "
Inside there are remove the " Ghost Addresses "

Tks Amigo!
Well done!
Thank you.
In the next few days I shall monitor the situation and report.
Best
Firstly - Great Enlightenment ! ;-)
Would leave it as is.
Just start a New List of Blocked e-mail addresses.
Thank you.
Will do.
