Does anyone else have this happen to them?

I have gmail and sometimes when I am writing an email and start typing the recipient's name, a drop down menu appears with names of people I don't know.  What's up with that?  They are not even in my contacts list.

    Are you sure you are in your own email?

  • Yes.  This happens to me.  I suspect the cause is belonging to a large group mailing list with lots of people I don't know.

  • I get that with Yahoo mail also. I'll click the "X" to be rid of it but it's there again the next time I post an e-mail. So it's not just gmail that does that.

    Thanks Rooster.  I guess I'll stop interrogating my wife about who all the strange men are!

    I haven't had that happen in Yahoo mail, but if I were you, I would check with the NSA. This post was edited by SpunkySenior at April 27, 2017 12:17 AM MDT
