Hello, Just got the HTC Legend. First Android/Smartphone.


After setting it up and getting some basic apps, getting e-mail set up and all that fun stuff i realized something.

It added every single email address from my gmail account. I mean everything. Customer support, random craigslist replies/addresses, everything.

When i open "Messages" and click "New Message" then search the list, every single e-mail that i've ever had contact with shows up.

I just want the people i've added to my 'people' page / contact list. not every single one of the hundreds of people i've had correspondences with over the past five years.

When i go into "people" via the "all programs" pane, only the contacts i've added today show up. How do i get that to happen on the messages? How do i remove all of these e-mail addresses? And what specifically linked them?


I found in search people that if i go into 'people' / Settings / View, then i checked the 'only contacts with phone numbers'.
I also unchecked 'show auto gmail contacts.


This doesn't work. I went back to "new message" and the list remains. Tried restarting the phone. Still remains.


basically sim/phone are the only ones i want/have checked.


Thanks to anybody willing to help, i'd greatly appreciate it as this is a huge pain in the butt.
