email contacts

I would appreciate if someone could tell me where I can edit the drop-down contacts menu in apple mail? I'm talking about which email address suggestions appear when you start to type a name of a contact. I've done it in the past but have unfortunately forgotten where to access this list.

This is specifically Apple based. Laptop and IOS.

Thank you.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.6

Being able to choose which of a contact’s email addresses to send an email to (iOS Mail app) Hello. I don’t experience this on my MacBook. It seems only to occur on my iOS devices. I have contacts with multiple email addresses. E.g. work = janedoe@work.com; personal = janedoe@personal.com; hobby = janedoe@hobby.com When I start composing an email in the Mail app it only surfaces one of these email addresses. It doesn’t enable me to choose which one to send to. For example, it might default to their work email, but I want to email their personal email without having to type the whole address out. How can I fix this? It’s doing my head in!

Autocompletion of email addresses not working in Yahoo mail Autocompletion of email addresses in Yahoo mail is not working. Nor can I search the contacts list. The contacts are all there, but when I type in a name in the search bar, I get "No matching contacts found" even though the contact exists. This worked fine for years. I am running Firefox 106.0.5 on a MacBook Air with iOS Ventura 13.0. It does not work on Safari either. However it does work on my iPhone.

Some contacts in Mail are greyed-out Hello I'm using a Mac Studio running Ventura 13.1. I don't own or use an iPhone or use iCloud. The contacts were imported from my old iMac by creating an .abbu file. This was imported into Address Book, where they all show up normally. However... When I compose an email, a lot of my contacts aren't available to use. They are visible, but greyed out. Even if I search for an email from one of these people and select "add to Contacts" they still remain greyed out. What is going on?

In Main Menu Bar of Mail >> Window and drop down to " Previous Recipients "

If a Contact is Not in the Contacts Application the preceding Name will not appear but the e-mail address will appear to the Right
