old email addressusing Windows XP and Office 2007
When I begin typing an email address in the recipient line, my auto complete feature begins to list the names and addresses for me. I just noticed that one of the names in the auto complete list is one that I have replaced with a new address. My recipient "Susie" changed her address, and I changed it in my contacts list. But now when I begin to type her name, both addresses show up as auto complete options. The old one is not in the contact list, however, so I am unable to delete it. Why is the old (replaced) email address showing up as an auto complete option, and where is it so that I can delete it? > Why is the old (replaced) email address showing up as an auto complete That list is simply addresses you have mailed in the past. > option, > and where is it so that I can delete it? Start a new message.Start typing the email address you'd like to delete. Use the arrow keys to move down to the address you'd like to delete. Hit the delete key. -- f.h.

autocomplete is a cache of addresses that you frequently or most recently typed, and not related to your Contact List. -- Show quoteHide quoteKathleen Orland - MVP Outlook Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ http://www.howto-outlook.com/ "BK" wrote: > using Windows XP and Office 2007 > > When I begin typing an email address in the recipient line, my auto complete > feature begins to list the names and addresses for me.

more of a problem. I have several groups in my contact list. If the name of the group remains the same but the members of that group fluctuate, I can see a problem arise. As I begin typing the name of the group (Admin Staff) how can I be sure I'm getting the most current membership and not an old list that I sent to earlier? From the answers I've received to my original post, it is quite possible that my group recipient list of names and addresses could be an old one instead of a new one. I guess the only safe thing would be to delete the group name for the auto complete list when I start typing, and then type it again. It should then pick up the new members, right??
