Cleaning up contacts
Hi,
Last night I finally made sure my carddav was working and that Fastmail is now the only contact source on my iphone. All is working well.
I have noticed one problem however, that I suspect plagues others as well and I'd be interested to know how others deal with this.
I have my main contact list - family, friends, work colleagues, etc - and these entries typically have a name, phone number, and/or email address.
I have "autosave contacts" set to On "when I email a new person, save the address to my contacts so that it will auto complete next time." This is a convenient feature as I often have to email someone another time.
The problem is, I don't really want all these new email addresses coming up in my Contact list. It makes the list unwieldy. So for instance, the other day I had to email a customer support department about fixing my watch. I know I'll need to email them again, so I do want it to auto complete. The problem is, while I might want the main store's contact info in my contact list, I certainly don't want this random customer service guy's email in my contact list.
And so now I have a contact list filled with real contacts and then also with a large number of orphan email addresses, many of which I will want to email again and want the auto complete on, but most of which I have no need to show up in my contact list.
Does anyone have any thoughts on how to deal with this?
Thanks very much,
Jeremy
