Everytime I send an email to some random person, either craigslist, site support, etc, they get added to my contact list. I have a group of friends/family/coworkers, and I only want it to sync to those contact groups in gmail. Any way to do this?

Hi,
I noticed that the contacts in my HTC Touch don't sync with my outlook if no email address is present in the contact on the phone. As soon as I enter an email address into the contact, the contact will also appear on outlook.
The thing is I want to to sync ALL contacts, not just the ones with emails. I think it can be useful to have the phone numbers or street address in my outlook too even if I don't know (or don't use) the person's email address.
I understand outlook contacts is mainly to keep email addresses but I also use it as a general contacts books for street adddress, phone numbers, birthdays, etc...
What I'm doing now is enter a random email address like "[email protected]" in the contact to make sure it syncs but I'm pretty sure there's a better solution...
Thanks very much!

Can someone at least confirm me that the behavior is the same on every mobile phone?
Thanks!
no I've never heard about such behaviour before
non of my wm devices ever don anything of the sorts
tons of my contacts don't even have phone numbers or emails
this belongs in the Q&A section.
thank you
Hey guys,
When my car’s bluetooth downloads the contacts from my captivate, it downloads some contacts, but doesn't download the ones from my exchange server. They show up fine in the contacts app, but the car doesn't receive them. I thought it might be an issue with the way they were put into the contacts, so I undid the built in android exchange account, deleted the contacts, then installed touchdown and populated it that way. Still no joy.
Does the Captivate only send certain contact groups? If so, is there a way to move contacts from one group to another, or to choose which one is considered the “main” group?
Can someone please shed some light on the contact funtionality with the TB or maybe its just android. I have my contacts all in my google account, but everytime I try a new rom i will get duplicate contacts labeled Phone contact and Google contact. very annoying.
Also anyone know how to sync facebook to just download the contacts image for your address book without creating completely new contacts from facebook most of which dont have a phone number.
With the iphone the contact sync function just brought over there picture and birthdays, etc but only if you had a contact already in your phone, it wouldnt create new contacts just because they were a facebook friend.
Thank You.
I have my Live mail set up to be able to send email from two different email addresses (mine or my dad's), because sometimes he will have some important business email to send and doesn't feel like sending it (figures... he has an iPhone, hehe)
I want to be able to send an email from his email, but through my account. I can see this option when I access my account online, but not from my phone (Samsung Focus, Live account set as main account)
Is there any way to do this? Or is my only option to setup my dad's account on my phone as well?
yeah, If you already have access to his email, then I would just add his email to the phone. You can select to sync only email, and select to sync manually, so you wouldn't have to get notices for every email he receives.
hi guys, anyone know how to sync only facebook photo to phone contact, rather than whole facebook contact?
this is the problem i encounter:
when i tab on the TO: list in messaging and type in my friend's name, it will show a replica of number (ie number from phone contact, and number from facebook contact). And the worst part is some of the number from facebook contact are wrong.
can anyone help?
thanks in advance.

thanks aagvain, i forgot something, previously i sync with my facebook account, and am able to get all the email address as well.
so i have to either add in the email via gmail one by one and sync gmail, or is there any other alternative?
thanks a lot
just an update, i've solved my problem.
i've installed google contact sync and it will only sync facebook photo.
the downside is it doesn't sync the email, so i have to manually input.
