How to Remove Outlook Autocomplete Addresses
Microsoft Outlook has many convenience features to assist us in our day-to-day management of personal information. One such feature is the Autocomplete feature, part of which is used for storing email addresses that we frequently use when sending email messages. While Autocomplete can be a great assistant, I have found it does have some drawbacks as experienced by the end users I support.
The usual problem I encounter is an incorrect email address that makes its way into the Autocomplete. Sometimes, a quick finger is to blame; at other times, the email address stored in Autocomplete is no longer valid. In either case, the address needs to be removed from the Autocomplete list. Removing the address will prevent messages from going to the wrong address, which will prevent non-delivery reports from arriving in the sender’s Inbox. Those non-delivery reports are the source of much end-user grief because they don’t understand the technical jargon in them.
