MacOS – Contacts have unsolicited entries

macosms officeoffice-365

I am using Office365 with Mail, Contacts, Calendar, Reminder, Notes (i.e. no Outlook).
Why do I get e-mail addresses added to Contacts?
These addresses are of people I do have in Contacts already. Why do they keep coming back as e-mail adders only (person@example.com) without name or anything else?
I have deleted all entries from "Previous Recipients" and deleted the unsolicited entries. It did not help.
Is this an Office365 "feature"?
(Mac 10.9.2)


After checking with another account I have on same computer, this seems to be an Office365 "feature." How do I turn it off? I do not see an option in Outlook (web or desktop versions) to stop arbitrary collection and addition of e-mail addresses.

The Mavericks Contacts.app has settings were you can set/decide which one and where from the contacts come from.

Open Contacts and look on left site to see what you have set up there.

Also look at your settings in Contacts-Accounts to see what you have set up there.
