Wallet gives receive address which is used

[Quenos]

Hi,

I've installed electrum together with EPS and the Trezor HW wallet.
When I click receive it gives me an address that was already used before I've started to use Electrum.
When I look in the addresses tab, I see that the first 8 address are already used and spent.

How can I skip these 8 addressed and get the first really unused address from Electrum?

Try going to Wallet -> Addresses -> Filter; This will enable a filter on the "Address tab". Now go there and select "Unused" in the second box. Does it show any unused address?

That shouldn't be happening. The receive tab only hands out unused addresses. Perhaps electrum wasn't synced when you first switched to that tab? Try restarting electrum. Make sure it's synced and then switch to the receive tab.

After some more in-depth search on the Internet I've found out that it was actually the Electrum Personal Server that needed to be rescanned.

After this has been done, it works as it should.

Thanks for all the replies!
