Names and email addresses are automatically being added to my contacts. I
want to stop this from happening. I can't finding any way to turn this
feature off (including in tools and actions). PLEASE HELP!

Outlook does not do that. Why do you believe it does?

Are you sure you have written your question to the correct newsgroup?

I ask because the behavior you describe is a feature of Outlook EXPRESS, not
Outlook, to the best of my knowledge.

If you are using OE, look for the setting that says "Automatically add
people I reply to my Address Book" or somthing to that effect.

Hal,

You may be confusing the data store where autocomplete data is stored as
opposed to your actual "Contact" folder(s).

If so, please refer to the tips document at:
http://www.ingressor.com/autocompletetips.htm that will help you turn off
various functions of Outlook.
