incorrect email address displayed

[Guest]

In Outlook 2oo2, when I type a name in an email address, incorrect email
addresses are displayed. These are email addresses I have deleted and/or
changed in my Contacts. I have disables all Contact folders, removed all
Outlook Address Books & Personal Address Books, closed & opened Outlook - the
problem remains. What should I do next?

You should remove the entries from the place they are stored, which has
nothing to do with your Contacts.
Remove individual addresses from the autocompletion cache by highlighting
the entry when presented in the suggested names list (use your arrow key to
migrate to the entry) and then hitting your Delete key before you tab out of
the field. If your autocomplete list contains only a single entry, use the
directions here:

To clear the entire cache, follow the instructions here:
