Question with Microsoft Outlook 2003?

Microsoft Outlook 2003: Removing "learned" email contacts

• In Outlook 2003, I have received and replied to email from the same person at two different addresses: [email protected] and [email protected]. Outlook remembers and suggests both addresses when I start to type "Joe" in a new message composition (see Advanced Email Options -> "Suggest names while completing To, CC, and Bcc fields") I want Outlook to forget [email protected] and only suggest [email protected] from now on. How?!??! :-) Hint: Neither address appears in my Contacts list. Outlook obviously has some "hidden" contacts list which I can't find, where it puts these "auto learned" addresses. Thanks, WS

  Hi whitesorcerer, Here you go. Briefly, when the pop-up list appears, use your up or down arrow to select [email protected] and hit "delete". That should do it! Top Tips for Outlook: [there's a long list of tips here] "Delete names from the AutoComplete list Select the unwanted name by using the UP ARROW or DOWN ARROW key and then press DELETE." http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/FX011052481033.aspx Tip 099: What is Autoresolve and Autocomplete? "Only Outlook 2002 and 2003 support Autocomplete. Also known as suggest names, this is the feature that shows addresses of people you?ve sent messages to previously and you can select matches as you begin typing. You can?t seed the list with names from your address book, the feature collects them when you send new messages or reply. You can clear the autocomplete cache by deleting the *.NK2 file for your profile or delete one address at a time by using the arrow key to select it as you type and then Delete. Like autoresolve, you can turn it on or off in Tools, Options, Email Options, Advanced Options." http://www.outlook-tips.net/archives/2004/20040223.htm I hope this helps.

I had it almost all ready to go when we received an important phone call which tied up the line for some time. Thank you, hummer Google Search Terms Used: outlook 2003 autocomplete
