Old address keeps popping up.

[Gus]

My wife changed her email address. I dutifully went into contacts and made
the change. The old address was completely deleted and "Contacts" now show
ONLY her new address. However, when I open "Send Mail" and type her name,
the old address continually pops up.

Mail seems to have an odd set of rules as to which email address it will
use, unfortunately, I have no idea what these rules are.

It's a queue issue for the auto remember function....eventually it will drop off.

I had the same problem. Delete the old address and then enter the new one
in new contact.. Worked for me.

Gus's problem is with the auto-complete, when you type in a contact name.
WM keeps a separate list of 29 addresses, which may not be stored in the
contacts.
