Unwanted e-mail addresses showing up

[Tom D]

Using Outlook 2002 in Win98SE

If I create a new message (Ctrl+n) in the Outbox, when the cursor is
in the "To..." field, a drop-down menu of e-mail addresses shows up,
using the letters I type to create an alphabetic list.

The list seems to contain all the e-mail addresses of everyone that
I've ever sent mail to, but many of them are incorrect (having been
made obsolete by new ones, for example).

How do I remove the ones I don't want, so that they will never again
appear on the list?

TIA

Remove individual addresses from the autocompletion cache by highlighting
the entry when presented in the suggested names list (use your arrow key to
migrate to the entry) and then hitting your Delete key before you tab out of
the field. To clear the entire cache, follow the instructions here:
