Outlook: Unwanted Suggested Contact

Hide one or more suggested contacts in the Suggestion List


  1.  Navigate to Outlook online (Desktop will not work) https://outlook.office.com/mail/ 

  2. Forward, reply, or create a new email.

  3. In the To: address line, start typing the contact you want to hide.

  4. When the contact you want to hide appears in the list of suggested contacts, look for the X to the right of the contact's name.

  5. Select the X and the contact will be removed from the list and will also be hidden for later use.

  6. If you accidentally hid the contact, select Undo in the message at the bottom center of the screen. This message will remain for 5 seconds after hiding a contact.


  7. If you want to un-hide a contact, send an email to the contact by replying to an old mail or by typing the full email address on a new mail. After approximately 24 hours, the contact will be unhidden from the suggestion list.
