Ask user to confirm before automatically adding email recipients to contacts list

Ask user to confirm before automatically adding email recipients to contacts list

When I initially set up a gmail account years ago, I did not choose to turn off the option to automatically add my email recipients to my contacts.  Or perhaps there was no option to do so and it was a more recently added feature to Gmail.

At any rate, after all these years, my contacts list in that gmail account is a pile of garbage.  It is unmanageable.

PLEASE add the feature to make email recipients NOT be automatically added to my contacts list.  I just added this account; thus so far, my contacts are manageable.  But I can see it'll become unwieldly very quickly if I attempt to use this account in place of my gmail account.

thank you very much,
Linda
