I just upgraded to the new yahoo. Now when I type in a recipient's name in the "to" box it not only pulls up the current e-mail address but also the address for the person that has been deleted for quite some time. How do I get to the deleted addresses to get rid of this problem
I am guessing the new yahoo acts a lot like the address finder Gmail has had for years.
The whole: "people still show up after I have deleted them!" thing has been a big deal there for years, and the answer is pretty simple:
The address suggester tool goes through every e-mail address you have ever written, and every e-mail address that has ever written you... and suggest them.
If you want it to stop, you will have to delete every message you have ever sent to that address, and every message you ever got from them.
Even then, it may take a while for the tool to re-scan your mail and drop those addresses.
