Composing email to new recipient

I cannot seem to type a new email address in the send mode without Mail defaulting to an existing email it finds. I have typed the entire email address but immediate it flips to one of the suggested ones that pop up menu. I have attempted to type the entire address but that is no solution. It has never done this before so I am wondering if there is a setting that somehow changed.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 13.0

Seems odd...


Quit Mail and try launching it holding the Shift key and try again...


no resolve try a SafeBoot How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support will sort many anomalies


From Mail>Window>Show Previous Recipients and delete the corresponding/offending address if that is your issue.
