    My dad has a Blackberry Tour from verizon 5.0 software. When he goes into messages to send an email as he types in the letter S for an example he gets his normal contacts that start with a S as well as spam email adresses.
    For ex. SPECIAL DEALS ON ANTI..... SALES IN OUR DRUG STORE.COM ECT.

    Went to verizon and as always no help... anyone know of a way to delete them from the phone. i checked the address book and they are no where to be found. Also if its a 5.0 problem where can i find the 4.7 file to put into DM. thanks

    i have this happening too! For example when i type in 'cr' for CrackBerry Mods i now get an option for CrackBerry Mods and CrackBerry/Product Update/. It's also not in the address book.

    Thanks for bringing this up! Any insights?

    I have a few of these as well.

    Here is my thought on this.

    The ones I have appear to be from junk email that I received in the past. The device seems storing these addresses, or has something to with facebook.

    Seems to be another bug.

    i wonder if i delete the email from gmail if that will get rid of the address. i know gmail saves email addresses that were used in the past as recent or something. Thanks, lastraid!

    Hard to tell. Either it is, or it might designed to integrate with other sources as stated above.

    I'm not getting this. It could be like FB or some app.

    I have this happening as well. It seems that as I delete the junk emails, there are less of these addresses.

    Here is the solution that should work -

    From the Message folder / Options / General Options / Show Recent Contacts When Composing Email - set this to NO

    I like this feature
    Kudos to RIM for making it optional though. That's why I love the layers upon layers of options and menus
