E-Maill Addresses Are Appearing in Contacts

Question

Starting today, some Yahoo e-mail addresses I've written to started showing up in my Contacts list.

When I tried to delete one, message said:

"Cannot delete contacts from read-only accounts, but you can hide them in your contacts lists."

Huh?

How do I stop these from appearing and how do I delete them?

Thanks.
