Right or wrong, what I did was open Outlook, click on the Address Book Icon,
scrolled down to the address I wanted to delete,right clicked on it, the menu
that opened displayed Delete...I clicked it and the address was deleted. If
you should never delete from within Outlook why did the program designer
include this delete feature?

After I deleted it as described above, I then selected a NEW message in
Outlook, typed the first few letters of address, it appeared, I used the
delete key to delete it. I then opened the contacts folder, right clicked on
the address and clicked delete.

Taking these steps I thought I had properly deleted the address, properly in
all 3 places, and the e-mail was totally deleted from my PC.

I take it that the proper way to delete Contacts\e=mail addresses is
deleting them from the Contact Folder and when doing so it would delete the
Contact from Outlooks' Address Book and from the TO list as well? Correct?
If not what is the crrect way?

You deleted an email address? How?
You never manipulate Outlook data from the address book interface. Clarify
what you did. All data entry and editing is done in the Contacts Folder.

Outlook 2007\Vista Home prem 32bit. Several months ago I deleted an
E-mail
address. I deleted the address from my Outlook Address Book; from the "TO"
in
NEW Message, and, from Contacts Folder.

I decided to re-enter that same e-mail...I did so using Outlook When I
entered it, it came back advising the address already
existed....Update\Add
New. I cancelled....went to address book, "TO" and Contacts...the address
was definitely not there.

Why after completly deleting this e-mail address months ago, did I get the
prompt the Contact existed?
