Clearing Suggestive Emails

Okay highest points go to the person who can solve this. It has me baffled and loads of others too.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 and I use the standard Samsung email app. I'm upgraded to Kit Kat. So here's the dilemma.

When typing an email address into the To field it comes up with a list of addresses I've recieved emails from, spam emails and all.

I want to clear this list but no one knows how. I've used Android cleaners, cleaned cache for the keyboard app and have cleaned the cache for the email app. No matter what I clean, delete, disable or anything else these suggestive email addresses remain. Please can someone help me to delete this pesky hidden database of accumulated email address.

Looking for that Android genius. Please help!
 
They are probably backed up by Google so I would try deleting them by desktop or laptop then resyncing

Depending on your email service, log into your account using a web browser on a computer/laptop and check your Contacts. Weed out all the unwanted addresses from there.
 
Logged into my google accounts and it lists all the contacts in my phone but NONE of these pesky email addresses. It is clearly a hidden file on the phone that holds all this data. Again, it is the SAMSUNG email app, not gmail, not any other sort of email. It is the SAMSUNG email app using POP to access my internet providers server. HELP!
 
Have you tried clearing the Cache in Settings/More/Application manager? Locate your email client and clear cache.
 
I've cleaned every cache, including the method you've suggested.

Email addresses are still being suggested.
