Contacts app - Outlook Web App account issue
I have to an Exchange (Outlook Web App) account set up as one of my internet accounts ... and it's not behaving as expected in Contacts.
What's happening is that it's taking every single email address that I have ever sent to, and it's automatically creating new address cards under that Exchange account. Even though I have already created address cards for particular emails through Contacts, it's automatically creating new cards for preexisting contacts. So, I either have duplicate cards (for contacts that I have already created) or I have address cards that I don't even want.
The address cards that I have created myself contain the contact's name, phone number, etc. But the cards that are automatically generated only contain the email address. Deleting these cards won't work because they will just be re-created over and over again.
I can't find a setting anywhere to turn this automation off. Even the Outlook Web App portal doesn't have a setting for automatically adding emails to your contacts list.
Interestingly, Contacts has an address folder for each internet account which shows all address cards for that account, but when I go to Outlook Web App, I can't view all of my contacts in one list; I can only view contacts through individual lists which were placed under "Other contacts". So, I can't be certain if this is a Contacts issue or an Outlook Web App issue.
