whenever I try to enter an address into the send to column, I get an
incorrect address e.g. old address or someone whom I have never even entered
into the address book. I am using the feature where you type in the first
letter and outlook finishes the address for you.
When I check in my address book some of these names are not even in there.
Help!

When this happens, use the up and down arrow keys to highlight the bad
address, and hit the delete key.

I have tried that but it does not allow you to delete anything. It says
"clear" but that only clears it from the to line. I have sent numerous mails
to the wrong person until I realized it was doing this. Very frustrating. I
have even deleted some of the addresses from my address book hoping this
would rid me of the old address but it still shows up in this section.

When the wrong address pops up, arrow-key down to it and hit "delete".
