Windows Mail

I'm attempting to change an address in my windows mail address file but the
old address continues to be the default. How can I completely remove the
old addresses?

I may very well have misunderstood what you said.
You can NOT just change e-mail address by yourself unless you've told your
ISP which in turns would supplied you with a new address. After that your
old address would become null and void.
Otherwise, it makes no difference what you put in your address book, your
default address remains the same.

What exactly do you mean by "continues to be the default"?
If you mean it comes up automatically after typing a few letters,
that is known as the auto-complete function.
Windows Mail does not auto-complete from your contacts.
It uses a separate list of the last 29 recipients you've sent mail to.

You can delete the entire auto-complete list:

Or try this utility to selectively remove some addresses:

Note: The auto-complete feature works perfectly in the replacement
program, Windows Live Mail, which uses the standard contacts list
for auto-completion.
You are encouraged to upgrade to the newer WLM program:
