June 23, 2012because you have received and sent e-mails from and to those old e-mail addresses. if you delete all e-mails related to those e-mail addresses you wont see them when you want to send or forward any e-mail.

June 23, 2012Are you using an email client? Also make sure you remove all the contacts completely also emails as suggested by Ravi . They may say they are removed, but theres always traces of them

June 23, 2012Ravi is correct – all past email addresses you ever corresponded with are retained so long as the email is in your inbox. This may be a sign that it’s time to do some inbox housecleaning and delete all of those old emails?

June 25, 2012Basically all email programs have several sources for contacts that mostly includes:
- the (actual) contact list/database
- old emails (‘from’ and ‘to’ headers)
- a list of previous recipients
Depending on the program you are using and the list the contact is in steps to remove the recipient differ.
