Windows Mail keeps a separate list of the last 29 addresses you've sent to,
which is the list used for auto-completion. That list is stored in the
registry and is not easy to edit.

You could delete the key and start from scratch. To delete it, go to the
Windows Orb (Start), type regedit, press Enter and navigate to registry key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Mail and delete Recently Used
Addresses.

Create a system restore point before making the deletion, just in case you
have problems.

If you want to use the contacts list, instead of the separate list of the
last 29 addresses you sent messages to that is used in completing
addresses, start a new message and don't type any part of the address.
Instead, click on Tools, then Select Recipients in the new message
window.

You can fix that problem (and many others) by upgrading to the new
and improved Windows Live Mail: http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview
