Every email becomes a new contact--STOP?

Ever since I upgraded my Outlook on my computer every email I get now shows up as a new contact on my phone. I get a million emails and this is a nightmare. Anyone know how to stop this? Thanks.

Yeah, change the settings in outlook so it doesn't automatically add senders to your address book. This problem is not being caused by the phone. Gmail can do the same thing (or, at least it could at one time). If You're using Outlook to access Gmail as an exchange account and synching contacts, that could do it too..

every time save a new contact dont Shows in Outlook 2007

Hi,
You need to go ahead and complete it.
Before you can enter a phone number for a contact, you need to enter your telephone area code and save it . This way Outlook will know how to format your phone numbers.
You can configure this in Control Panel > Phone and modem.
Thanks,

Every link becomes a new tab. Have switched off this feature yet it continues...

Every time I click a link or sign into a site, it opens in a new tab. I have gone through the tab settings and turned off everything about "open in new tab",,, yet it continues. I now have 9 tabs open to get to this point. Very problematic when logging into bank site, as logging out doesn't really work because another tab is open and logged in.

Cor-el you are correct. The add-on for tabs was the source of the problem. I think it was called "tabs mix" or something to do with an IE tabs add-on. When disabled, the problem went away. I appreciate your dedication to my issue and to all involved with creating this excellent browser. Congrats on 4.0, it ROCKS !!!

As soon as my mail arrives in the inbox it is promptly sent to trash. Every email. How can I stop it doing this? iPad 3

Email arrives in my inbox and then after I've read it or even unread gets tossed into the Trash! Why does it do this? It's such a pain! How do I stop it from happening please? Only had iPad for couple of months. Grateful for any help

My phone is the 4. Not the 4s. And I went there but it's nowhere the option to delete from server.
I only see: ask before deleting and it's on.

You can go into settings, mail, contacts and calendars, and set your mail to only download the last 50.
When you actually set upthe account, you can go into any available advanced settings and see if that can be set to new mail only. Unfortunately, every mail provider had slightly different things they'll allow you to tweak, so you just have to play to see what you can do.
For example, when I set up my Yahoo, I have different things I can tweak than I do on my Hotmail account, so some accounts allow more ability to tweak than others.

I just got my new iPhone4 set up today and it has pulled in every email that is in my desk top as being unread. Yet I have read all the emails. Still the iPhone thinks they are unread. Does anyone know how I can delete all of these at one time?

I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

I have a new iPad. I am using Comcast as my email provider but when I send a message, it pulls up the facebook email addresses for my contacts instead of the addresses stored in my comcast account. How can I get rid of the Facebook email addresses? The comcast addresses are stored in the comcast (xfinity) app. I do not use the "mail" or "contacts" apps ....I go straight to comcast (xfinity). I wish I could start over!!! thanks.

I could be wrong, but it sounds like Facebook imported to your contacts. I have the Xfinity app on my new ipad, too, but none of my stored contacts from the online version are showing, only what I manually entered into the iPads contacts are there. When I did add the FB app, I did not grant it permission to push and pull from my ipad (not a fan of FB knowing every detail about me), so that may be where our difference lies. You could try to open the app and change your privacy settings, or delete it and then reinstall without granting permissions to integrate.
I'm sure someone here with a lot more knowledge then me can probably diagnose your issue better, though. Good luck!

Missing contact when "create new contact" from email or number

I am having a really strange problem on my iPhone and think it will be a fun mystery to solve. Please help me!
It is currently set up with google so that my mail/notes are using gmail IMAP and my contacts/calendars are using Google Sync. So far it's been working pretty well except for all the known many bugs and issues (please fix these, google!). I have no other email, calendar, or contact accounts set up (not even syncing with my computer).
I received an email from a friend who I did not yet have a contact for, so in the email header I clicked her name and chose to "Create new contact." As usual, the email address was already in the "email" field, so I just edited her name and filled out the "company" field and pressed Done. The "from" field in the email updated to show that the contact had been added to my phone and that it recognized the email as being from her.
Now, I go to add a number to her contact and when I navigate through my contacts list, her name is no where to be seen. I've tried searching through the contacts by using the search bar at the top of both the Phone and the Contacts apps, but nothing shows up. However, when I compose an email and start typing her address, it recognizes her as a contact. Even weirder, I just tried the entire phone search spotlight feature, and it found her contact right away, as if it were any normal contact. When I click on it, it brings me to her contact page, which I cannot edit, and when I press the little left arrow "Contacts" in the top left of the screen to go back to the whole listing, she's not there!
When I go to add contacts using the little + symbol in the top right of the phone app, it works normally and the contact appears as usual. But every time I try to do a new contact from email, this happens! Choosing to "update existing contact" works fine, though. So I've been forced to create an empty contact with her name in the Phone app, and then add the email to it.
Please help my find where in my phone this contact is residing, and how to bring it out so I can find it. I have tried force-quitting the relevant apps from the multi-task dock, and even turning off and on my phone, but to no luck.
Update: Just tried creating a new contact from a phone number I've previously dialed and the same thing happens! Where are my contacts going?? This is so weird!
Not sure if this is just a google sync issue, but I figured I'd post it in case other people are having similar issues
Device: Apple iPhone 4
Carrier: AT&T
Country / Language: USA English
OS: iOS 4

I recently experienced a similar event. I was adding from Contacts "+" button on the iPhone 4. I completed entering the data & hit "done". I went back to add a photo. I hit "done" & went to test the result. No new contact. Search did not find it. Tried two more times with different contacts. Same result.
At one point, the "All Contacts" directory went blank. Nothing. Seconds later the contacts returned. Scary. I rebooted the iPhone. No new contacts but old ones fine.
I then entered with an old iPhone on OS 3.2 same data. Showed quickly via MobileMe. On the new iPhone added photo the photo. All OK. From an iPad, OS3 I did the same. Added photo in new phone. All OK. I added from the new iPhone including photo. All OK.
The iPhone IOS4 reboot may be the answer. Wish I had tried older systems before reboot.

Disable Javascript for those webpages. Note, your Javascript is probably antiquated by now. Try a different web browser, or contact the website and let them know they aren't as accessible as they could be*:

Every email address ever used in my contacts- help!

I've got a new Blackberry Pearl 9105 3g, on the network 3. No idea what operating system, sorry!
I set up my emails to come to my phone- yahoo and hotmail. And now, every email address that I have EVER sent an email to is in my phone contacts list!!!! All I want is my phone number contacts in there and now theres literally hundreds in my contacts list- sooooooooo annoying.
Is there any way of removing them all other than to delete one by one which will take FOREVER?
thank you x

Your email addres is gmail? or yahoo?
At your BIS account login where setup the email push, click to NOT sync contacts.
Then, to clear the "bad" address book data from your device, See option 4 in this link.

Apparently when I send to a Group of Contacts they can all see every email address and this is not acceptable how do I avoid that

I need to send to a group of about 50 parents. Their addresses are held in a Group of Contacts. I highlight the group name to distribute a message to all of them and what I am being told is that they can then all see every email address. This is not acceptable as many do not want their email address being made public in this way. Surely this should not happen or at least there should be a way to avoid it.

re: and I quote "they can then all see every email address. This is not acceptable "
I showed you the basic method of sending a group as Bcc - which is what you initially asked for.
As you now specify that not only do you want to know how to use Bcc but every email needs to be personalised - not just distributing a message to all of them, then I would agree with Matt and advise you use Mail Merge. This creates separate emails - not a bulk email to several recipients, so using a TO field will only send to that person - other people will not see other email addresses.
Matt has offered the link.
Here is some more info regarding Mail Merge.
'''How to install Add-ons:'''
download the .xpi file to your computer eg: desktop or downloads folder.
In Thunderbird
'Tools' > 'Add-ons' OR 'Menu Icon' > 'Add-ons'
click on the gear wheel icon and select 'Install addon from file'
see first image below as aid.
locate the file you downloaded and click on 'Open'
You may need to restart Thunderbird.
Mail Merge will appear in the list.
see second image below.
'''How to set up a Template emails for Mail Merge:'''
Create a Template email, which contains the 'personalised' sections.
see example - third image below.
I set the Subject as 'Mail Merge' so it is easily identifiable.
Save it as a Template email.
It will get stored in the 'Templates' folder. If you do not see a Templates folder, this is auto created when you create the first email and store as template.
'''When you want to use Mail Merge.'''
Select the Template folder.
Select the 'Mail Merge' template
either double click on the email in the list or right click on email and select 'Edit as new message'
you can then change the Subject and compose or edit the message - but do not change the sections in the curly brackets - the point of saving this as a template saves you from typing it each time.
'File ' > 'Mail Merge' (see third image)
This will open a new small window
see the fourth image below.
I would suggest you use 'Send Later' option . this will put all the emails in your Outbox, but it does allow you to check the email is correct - or do spot checks. Then you can choose to send them all in one go.
Right click on 'Outbox' folder and select 'Send unsent messages'.
Hope this info helps you.
As you are new to Thunderbird, you may or maynot have managed to locate all your toolbars.
The fifth image shows you how to enable all toolbars to make life much easier.
In addition some very useful info on maintaining a healthy Thunderbird and all about compacting- what it does and why it is important.

Can't create new contacts from email message

I get an email message that has a phone number in it and of course an email address. I want to create a new contact. I hold down on the phone number and a dialog appears asking if I want to add to contacts. I select it and press Create New Contact. I type in a name. I click Done. The dialog disappears. I go to Contacts and there is no entry. Is this supposed to work?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

This solved it. Don't know why. Shouldn't be like this. When I searched for it, the file appeared. Not only it it appear but my three other attempts appeared as well. All four of them are in Contacts. That's a bit wacked I think.
Thanks very much.
Wait it gets better. I went back to the email. Clicked the email address to save it. Selected Add to existing contact. Found the contact. Added it. Click Done, and the name is gone again from the Conatcts directory. Used the search function again, and it reappeared.
But there's more. Left the phone app. Came back to it and the name is gone again. Apparently every time I want this name I have to add it by searching in Spotlight, and of course it's not updating iCloud so it's never going to get back to my computer.

When creating an antiquated POP account with a new email client, all received email that remains at the incoming mail server is downloaded as new and unread email.

I recently updated from my iPhone 3G to iPhone5. Now, every time I check my contacts, they are all duplicated it. How do I resolve (stop) this?

Are you syncing contacts over the air with an iCloud account or with an email account that supports syncing contacts over the air in addition to syncing contacts direct with a supported address book app on your computer via the iTunes sync process?

I updated my phone and my husbands to the 5.0 OS now everytime I enter a new contact he get's it. We don't want the same ones. How do I stop it from syncing our phones?

You linked them both to the same Apple ID and thence to the same iCloud account. Don't do that.
