Contacts from emails

Hi all.
I have seen variants of this posts, but no real solution to the problem.
I just got my S4 after using the 920 for a while. Now Android seems a bit user unfriendly. I actually liked my 920!
For example I have loads of contacts in my contact list that are automatically created from emails received. Why would I want my contact list filled up with emails addresses from corporate newsletters and such? And I find no easy way to remove this "feature". Besides the checkbox to disable all contacts without phone number, but then I loose some valid Contacts for people to whom I don
 
Welcome to AF, tobbjo! :)

Regarding your contacts, you can edit them online by logging in to your Gmail account on a pc.

Hope that helps!

Also, not sure which S4 you have, but you can check into that phone forum here, Android Phones - Android Forums and share tips and tricks with your fellow S4 users!
 
Thanks, but I dont use google contacts at all. I sync using Exchange and I have disabled the google account contact sync.
The contacts I see are not in the Exchange contact list.

They may have synced before you disabled the sync. Just go to Contacts>Settings>Display>turn off the contact groups you dont want to see
 
I found the problem.
Some program had created a Contact list called "Proposed Contacts" with adresses from all my emails. Crappy crap.
Problem solved, thanks all for your effort.
