Getting rid of email addresses in the dropdown lists

[Henry Stock]

When you have typed in an email address manually in any of the addressee
fields, Outlook appears to remember those email addresses so that the
next time you begin typing the same characters, Outlook gives you a
dropdown list of matching addresses.

This is a convenient feature until one addressees changes their address
just slightly. Then you can't get rid of the old email address. At
least I have not been able to figure out how to purge the drop down
lists of invalid addresses.

Can someone please explain how to do this?

Use the arrow key to scroll to the address you want to deal with and delete
it.

That is what I thought too, but I had two addresses for the same person
in my list.
I scrolled down to the one I wanted to get rid of. I deleted it. then
I scrolled down to the one I wanted to use and selected it.
Then I checked its outlook properties. The values for the old address
popped up.
I don't know why. That is what is confusing me. I see one thing when I
open the scroll list, I see an entirely different thing when I check
the outlook properties.

Delete them both, and then key it in again.
