My Outlook 2003 adds every address I send an email to to my contacts, which
is really annoying and means that I now have thousands of unwanted contacts.
As far as I am aware I do not deliberately have an 'Add-in' that is doing
this, but don't know how to check for that either! Any ideas how to stop
outlook doing this, as I can't find any help on the matter, or any obvious
way to turn it off.
The problem is duplicated as well, because if I email John Smith, for
instance, it adds two contacts, one for Smith, John, and one just for Smith.
Any help or advice gratefully received,
Blobtastic
 
Outlook does not and cannot do this. It creates an entry in your
autocompletion cache, but it does not create an entry in any Contacts
Folder.
 
BTW, in Outlook 2003 you check for Add-ins here: Tools > Options > Other >
Advanced Options...> Add-in Manager or COM Add-ins
