Autocompleting email addy (not a contact) is wrong

W

Wowbagger

Using Outlook XP, when I start to type an email address in the TO: line I
get a small dropdown with a few suggested possibilities for a completed
email address. These are not contacts. One of the addresses contains a
typo that I would like to remove/correct, but since it is not a contact I
can not find it anywhere. Where do I find these and how do I edit them?

Thank you

Hi,

Thank you for the posting. As you indicated you would like to
remove/correct the Auto completed email address

To work around this behavior, let's remove it from the Auto completed
cache. To do so, begin by typing the name and then, when the AutoComplete
list appears, press the DOWN ARROW key to select the address of the deleted
contact and press the DELETE key to remove the entry from cache.

How to Correct Single Auto-complete Entries

Single Auto-complete entries (Auto-complete entries that show only one item
in the list) cannot be deleted. To correct the incorrect entry, add a
second entry that uses the same first three letters as the original, and
then delete the incorrect entry. Use the following steps to delete the bad
entry:

1. In a new e-mail message, in the To box, type the correct name (the first
three letters must be the same as the old incorrect one).

2. In the CC box, type the first three letters of the recipient to reveal
the auto-correct name list with both entries now showing.

3. Use the arrow keys to move the selection to the incorrect entry, and
then press DELETE.

Hope the above information and suggestion helps and answers your question.
If anything is unclear, please let me know.

Sincerely,

Cherry Qian
