How to delete Outlook suggestions on Outlook for Mac

In Outlook for Mac, contact suggestions are enabled.
When I receive a new email from a sender or send one to a new sender, I see these contact suggestions as soon as I compose a new email in the "To" field.

 

However, I do not want a particular contact to appear in this list.

 

I have read this post: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/how-the-recent-addresses-feature-works-in-outlook-for-mac-cf5a21f8-4908-772b-4fd9-5713f37ccbe6

 

"Click the X at the right side of the recent address whose entry you want to delete from Recent Addresses."

 

When I do this, the entry also disappears, however after some time this keeps reappearing.

How can I remove this contact completely from AutoFill?


I don't want to disable the AutoFill function completely. Just remove this one contact.

    that makes sense. I wish I have better answer for you, but it seems like this is documented and "normal" behavior.

    Hi giannox ,

     

    Even after you delete/remove an email, do you continue to communicate with it? Once you remove/delete a contact from recent contacts by pressing X, it should disappear, unless you continue to talk to the contact. Sometimes, having a contact in the address book can cause the user to appear.
