I have seen several posts from you extolling the virtues of GMX mail and would be grateful if you could answer a question that has cropped up today.

Over recent weeks I have become increasingly confused and irritated by the latest "enhancements" to Yahoo mail. As a result I have now deleted my old Yahoo account and as a replacement I have set up a GMX account.
It is my intention to only use this account to communicate with one person. I have other accounts for my general, day-to-day emails.
I have just noticed that when I start typing in the "To" box in GMX mail that I get an autofill of several other names / email addresses. Obviously these are all names that I recognise but I would like to know how I can deactivate this particular feature as I would much prefer not to have them as sending options - especially, as explained above, as this GMX mail account is intended for one person and one person only.
I would welcome your comments!
Thanks in advance.

beats me how a brand new account knows your contacts from a different account. Perhaps they are in the computer system somewhere and would vanish if you cleaned out your cache?

Buenchico may be along to give better advice.

Thanks for your quick reply, jno. That's exactly what's puzzling me! I'll wait for Chris's words of wisdom.

If you have never used those names that are coming up on GMX before then it must be a local issue combination of cookies, caches and the browser using its autofill memory.

If you have used them before on GMX then check GMX settings about not adding contacts or whatever

use something like CCleaner its free to clear all caches then try it and see if the details come up, i'll be extremely suprised if they do

also to be double sure you need to go into your browsers settings and tell it not to remember passwords or any thing like that and turn off any autofiill.

Are you using the website to see/write your emails or are you using a programme on your pc to pick up and do your emails?

Sorted!
Although I couldn't delete names and email addresses from the general "contacts" tab I was able to do so from the "Favourites" (sorry, "favorites").

Thanks for all your replies.
