I just want to say that I hope this doesn't happen to very many users, and I
can at least say it's never, ever happened to me. So far as I know, Windows
and Outlook or Outlook Express aren't suppose to "remember" any address that
isn't in your address book any longer. Or that isn't given as the deefault
in the Name tab. This sounds like file corruption to me, and not a common,
everyday email or autocomplete problem. In any case, good luck going into
your files and fixing this. It sounds really frustrating!

Subject: RE: Outlook, How to get old contact address out of memory
Hi all,
Thanks for the suggestions. I'm sorry, I didn't make myself very clear.
There is only one address in my contacts or address book. (I've gone in =
and
changed the email address.) This has to do with the "auto complete" =
feature
of outlook which remembers the addresses you have typed in the past. My
husband found an article that describes this and I'm including it in =
case it
can help someone else.
Notice in solution 1, you are able to use the arrow and delete the old
address which is no longer in any of your files. I can't do this with =
JAWS
though so I've had to use the second solution and rename the outlook.nk2
file. If anyone knows how to use JAWS to delete a single entry from the
outlook.nk2 file, please let me know.
Thanks for all of your help
Here's the article:
****
Outlook 2002 has a feature that suggests addresses based on what I type =
in
the To box, but the feature seems to have some names wrong. How can I =
edit
the list of names to get rid of the bad entries?
This AutoComplete feature will seem familiar to users of Outlook Express =
and
other mail programs that remember whom you sent messages to in the past. =
One
problem is that if you type in an incorrect address, Outlook is just as =
good
at remembering the wrong address as the correct one.
For an individual bad address that keeps popping up in the AutoComplete
list, the solution is simple: Use the up and down arrow keys to select =
that
address in the list, then press Delete to delete it from the =
AutoComplete
data file.
If you have more than one name that's bad or the whole list seems to be
corrupted, you can delete the .nk2 file in which Outlook stores the data
****
Thanks!
