It appears that the Outlook app is suggesting email addresses based on emails that are on my device (or were once on my device). I only have two email accounts on the app, my old yahoo.com and my personal company email address that is hosted on iPage. I've set up using IMAP to access my emails on the Outlook for Android app on my phone and the desktop version of Outlook on my computer. I'm using an S7 and running 6.0.1 on the ATT network.
My issue is that there are several different names that pop up when I start typing an email address in the To field. When sending an email to myself, my address is on the autofill list several times, but my "name" is different.
Example - I receive pictures of new contracts daily via text and need to forward them to my business partner and myself in email format for processing once we get back to the office. When I compose an email and start typing MY name, it brings up several suggestions "James Honey" <my email address>, "James Paradise" <my email address>, "James Engineer" <my email address>, "James H" <my email address>. I know that my wife has me listed in her phone as "James Honey" and she does send me emails. I can only assume that Outlook is seeing all these and offering them as suggestions. I would rather they not be on the suggestion list and cannot find out how to delete them.
Its time consuming and frustrating to scroll through all the "James" suggestions until I find one that doesnt have someone else's nickname for me attached to it. Its also very unprofessional to send an email to my employees and myself and having is show "James Honey" as a recipient.
