For several years have sent emails to FredSmith1234@....  but I have now also got  FredSmith123@.... a none existent address. FredSmith123@.... is not in my address book so how can I stop this address being offered as an alternative. I realise I must choose the correct one but it would be nice to not have the spurious one offered in the address line in the first place. 

Any thoughts?

What OS are you using? Are you using VM Webmail or an email client?

Meanwhile try some of the suggestions given in the thread here: https://community.virginmedia.com/t5/Email/Deleting-auto-filled-email-address/td-p/4189731

I am on Win7 and VM mail system, with ntlworld email address.

I tried to follow instructions from earlier thread , From VIP message 7,. Steps 1,2,3,4 followed but unable to understand step 5. How to select "To".

Help please

Select the text joe.blog@example.com, see 5(a), and then the trash can, see 5(b), to delete the entry from the Address Book.

Be aware this route for locating the contact was only used because the entry could not be located using the Address Book search function.

Hi VIP, I seem to have lost my address book listing. I only have "Contacts" listing. It would appear that my unwanted FredSmith123 is lurking there, and only appears when I try to generate an email to FredSmith1234. I am sure I used to have both a "contacts" list and a "Address Book" listing. Can you suggest how I can reactivate it.

Sorry for all of the confusion

AFAIK all address books appear under ▾ My address books; there is no option to alter the listing of all address books.
