When I click the "To" button to add contacts to a new email.. I have tons of old email address pop up. Email address I only emailed once ... long ago. How do I go through all these and delete them? I see where I can check the box next to all of them to add to a new email. But no option to delete them.
I already went to the Google ( server end) and deleted them there. However, seems they are stored local somewhere?

If it's the "Recents" tab:
Those messages are extracted from actual recent emails stored on the device, every time you bring up the contact picker.
Since AquaMail automatically trims its local message store over time -- when all messages containing those addresses are trimmed, the addresses will stop showing on the recent list.
If it's the "Contacts" tab:
Those are taken from system contacts and system contacts only.
I'm aware of cases like yours, where some contacts don't seem to exist (in Contacts app), but -- the Contacts tab takes its content from system contacts and system contacts only.
Maybe you could try Google Contacts on the web, to see if those mysterious addresses exist there:
http://contacts.google.com

I have exactly the same problem - with a few email addresses which have been closed over 10 years in on case. I have tried the suggested link, but they do not exist there.
Most frustrating.

>> exactly the same problem
And which of the two would that be?
Unwanted contacts in the Contacts tab?
OR
Unwanted contacts in the Recents tab?
Two completely different issues.
