Deleting email addresses of previous recipients from Apple Mail v. 14 running in macOS v. 11.7.10. It was once possible to open a window in Mail that displayed a list of previous recipients, and to delete individual addresses therefrom. How can this be done currently?

How to delete obsolete or rarely used email addresses Hello, I am not talking about recipient addresses but the ones that appear on an online application form which happen to be mine. Currently, i have 4 in Mac mail ( Google, iCloud, Hotmail and Yahoo) but only use one regularly, ie Google, the others very occasionally if at all. Two others also appear which are completely obsolete as they are associated with broadband providers I no longer use. In any case, I only want one to appear in the box requiring and email address, and that is Google. Is there any way I can delete the others ? Thanks

"Hide email address" problems Hi all I had the bad idea to use the function "Hide email address" on an internet form, available to iCloud+ users. Since then, some addresses I regularly use add themselves regularly and randomly to addresses that have to be hidden, which creates problems when I try to send them (using Apple Mail). Every time I have to go into iCloud and erase the address in question, even though I never made it active in the first place. Is there any way to completely turn off this stupid function? This is quite obviously a bug. The problem only happens with Apple Mail on my Macbook Air (Ventura), not from my iPhone. If there's an easy fix I'm all ears, otherwise I'll just use another email client.

If in doubt —> Use the "Help" in the menu, that is what it is there for in every application,

search: "Previous Recipients"
