How can I clear an email address from the Outlook "AutoComplete" feature? (without turning off AutoComplete)

Question

I have a friend who changed her email address. Now when I type her name, Outlook auto-completes the email address with her original email address first, rather than with her new one. Result is my messages occasionally go into oblivion when I forget to check the address after typing her name. I cannot figure out how to delete the old email address out of the autocomplete feature. I do like the autocomplete, so i would prefer not to turn it off. Is there a way I can either delete a specific entry from it or clear it altogether and start over?

Answer 1

Internet Explorer 6.0+
Go to Tools on your IE browser on top, Then click on Internet Options.
Delete your cache (temporary files), history, and cookies.
Then go to Content and click on AutoComplete Settings and clear all form.

If you get Internet Explorer 7.0, you can just go to Tools, Internet Options and you will have the option to delete everything all at once with just one click.
Under Browse History, click Delete, and then Delete all.
It will clear everything.

For Netscape, Firefox, or Mozilla browsers -
Click on EDIT and then PREFERENCE.
First click on Privacy-Security/Cookies and delete your cookies.
Next click on Navigator->History and delete your history. Then go to Smart Browsing in Firefox/Mozilla and clear forms.
Then click on Advanced, then Cache and delete your temp files.

Answer 2

Try going into your address book. double click on your friends name; this will show their details. delete the email address that you don't want anymore and save the changes to the card.

not sure but worth a try.
