I know there is a way to automatically retain email addresses for people you
comunicate with - without setting up a manual contact - this also allows you to just type the first letter of the person you wish to send an email to and you get a drop down box of anyone you have ever communicated with and you would just click on that email address. |

You're describing autocompletion, available in Outlook 2002 and 2003 and controlled by the "Suggest names while completing To, Cc, and Bcc fields" option on ToolsOptionsE-mail OptionsAdvanced E-mail Options". It is not intended to be a replacement for your Contacts folders. It will hold at most 1,000 entries and on occasion can be damaged so that it becomes inoperative. I would not rely on it as a substitute for the Contacts folder. -- Brian Tillman |

How can a person clear out the suggested names for completing table ?
I am plagued by autocomplete names that are incorrect or not desired and would like to clear out the whole table and start over.

Remove individual addresses from the autocompletion cache by highlighting
the entry when presented in the suggested names list (use your arrow key to migrate to the entry) and then hitting your Delete key before you tab out of the field. If your autocomplete list contains only a single entry, use the directions he http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;289975 If that article is unavailable, the gist of it is to send a message using a name or address that will add another entry to that dropdown list. Then you will have the ability to use the arrow key to select the name you want to remove. This step is no longer necessary in Outlook 2003 and higher. To clear the entire cache, follow the instructions he http://support.microsoft.com/default...;EN-US;Q287623 -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "rhodes2010" wrote in message ...
