    What has happened?

  3. when I write an email I see many contacts… I want to delete many of those, but when I go to the contacts list it only shows a few, it skips entire letter groups. there is also no slider bar to move through the list.

    • Same problem. I sent an email to a friend that they didn’t receive. I double checked and what happened is when I typed her name, two emails showed up. The one I used was no longer being used. I cannot find the bad email address so I can delete it. So very frustrating! It’s like a child designed this!
