External Contact is shown in address list

We have external contacts in our Exchange Online address list. The setting "Hide from global address list (GAL)" also says yes. However, when I write an email in Exchange Online and enter the contact, the contact that should not be displayed is displayed, which shouldn't be the case. What's wrong here?

    I understand that since I wrote to this address half a year ago but didn't remember it, this address is suggested to me from the Outlook auto complete list, see:

    Thank you for the information.

  • Is it in the GAL or in the auto complete list?  Hide from address book only applies to the GAL, not to the autocomplete list.
