If you open a new mail message and then type the first letter or two of
the address or name, Outlook should offer several email addresses from
which to select. When this list appears, simply use your down and up
arrow keys to highlight the address you wish to delete. When it is
highlighted, touch delete and it will be gone forever (we hope).

Using Outlook XP IMO
When an email address for a contact changes or fails to work, I make
the
necessary changes in the contact record, but still end up
inadvertently
sending messages to the old address.
I discovered that this is because Outlook still 'remembers' the old
address
and autocompletes it in error when I type the contact's name in the To
field
of the message. Although it is possible to spot this and manually
change
the mistake, it requires a level of diligence and observation that
rather
negates the purpose of the autocomplete feature and is wholly
undesirable
behaviour that can cause many problems and is very frustrating.
This would explain why I get so many messages to my old email address
from
other contacts who say they've updated my contact record. It's very
likely
that they are unaware of this problem.
Is there any fix or way to purge/delete these old unwanted email
addresses
from Outlook?
Has the problem been addressed or is it being addressed in
newer/future
releases of Outlook?

Thank you, Jonathan. This problem has been driving me nuts. I just rid myself of all those pesky addresses to which I often sent mail, erroneously!!!
