For the past some time I was noticing rapid growth in the contact list in my Gmail account. I realized that whenever I send e mail to a new contact it gets added in ‘Other Contacts’ automatically.Actually this is a useful feature which enables auto-complete the contact when you start typing the e mail id in To field.

It is pretty ok if a person sends e mail to limited number of people. Further, many a times you send e mail to persons just once to enquire about some information and don’t want to add them permanently in contacts.

So what to do? Simple! Just follow below steps to disable this feature.

1) Login to your Gmail account.

2) Go to ‘Settings’ –> ‘General’ tab.

3) Select ‘I will add contacts myself’ and ‘Save Changes’.

Its done.
