When I am creating a new email address, I start to type in the recipient's name in the "To" field and Apple populates it with what it finds, so I can conveniently (usually) just hit "return" and it will finish filling in the field. But I often forget to check what is has filled in, then.
Sometimes it will find an old email address no longer used and then the email bounces as undeliverable. I know it looks to see what is in my Contacts and I have even gone to the "Recent Recipients" window to delete the old address that was there.
But Apple Mail seems to also go searching for old emails I may have received from that person and saved away in some mailbox when the old email address was still in use.
So my question is: Is there some setting in Apple Mail in macOS that will prevent Mail from retrieving email addresses from old items of email saved in various mailboxes?
