Clearing saved auto-complete e-mail addresses in Outlook 2002
When typing an address into the To:, Cc: or Bcc: lines of a new message in Outlook 2002, Outlook will use auto-complete and automatically suggest an address based on addresses it has cached. To remove one address from the list so that it won't be suggested again, open a new message and begin typing in the address. Use the up and down arrow keys to select the address to be removed from the addresses suggested. When the address to be removed is highlighted, hit the Delete key. To correct a single auto-complete entry add a second entry that uses the same first three letters as the original, and then delete the incorrect entry. In a new e-mail message, in the To box, type the correct name (the first three letters must be the same as the old incorrect one). In the CC box, type the first three letters of the recipient to reveal the auto-correct name list with both entries now showing. Use the arrow keys to move the selection to the incorrect entry, and then press the Delete key.
To turn off this feature, so that addresses are never suggested:
To remove all the saved addresses, delete the .NK2 file where Outlook stores them. The file is normally located in C:\\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\\Microsoft\\Outlook folder for each Outlook profile.
