When I type in "Gus" in the to field, it lists 4 different email addresses for Gus Sampson, 3 of which are wrong and no longer even in my contact list. How do I delete these entries
sorry, maybe I wasn't clear
These entries are NOT in my address book (where I could right click to delete). These are "helpful" suggestions for how to complete my "To" field when creating a new message. They include, for example, Gus's old email address before he quit that job, that I've since taken out of my address book. It's less helpful than the animated paperclip.
found my answer (thanks to Russ Valentine
"Remove individual addresses from the autocompletion cache by highlightin
the entry when presented in the suggested names list (use your arrow key t
migrate to the entry) and then hitting your Delete key before you tab out o
the field. To clear the entire cache, follow the instructions here http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;Q287623"
Autocomplete doesn't look up to your address book - and this is normal
behavior. And autocomplete is *extremely* useful to most people in general.
When you get the suggestion list, use the arrow keys to highlight the
offending item, and press the Delete key. This should fix it. Right clicking
won't work.
