How can I disable Recent Contacts in 8.5_M1

I would like to disable the recent contacts lookup in my email, however I do not seem to have the “Do Not Automatically Add Names To Recent Contacts View” Option in Preferences - Contacts.Has this been moved somewhere else in 8.5?

Several people in my company have already sent email to wrong addresses and it is turning into a serious problem.

We need to disable this feature ASAP.

How can I disable it?

Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks

PS: Please disregard the build No in the form above - it would not let me enter 8.5. The actualy Client biuld is 8.5_M1.

Subject: Dissabling recent contacts

This option has not moved. It is still in Contacts Preferences. However, there are two things that must be set, in order to see the “Disable recent contacts” option:

  1. You must be running the Standard Notes Client (not Basic Notes). Verify that you see an “Open” button in the top left area of the Notes application. The Basic Notes client does not have this.

  2. Your names.nsf must have an R8.0 or higher design. Your Contacts application is usually upgraded automatically when you launch an upgraded client. To ensure that you have the latest design of the template, open names.nsf and select File/Application/Refresh Design.
