autofill on email address

[Kerrin]

Sometimes when I start typing an email address it
automatically fills it in but this email address is not
in my Contacts. Where does it keep those addresses and
why does it happen on some addresses and not others.
I am running Outlook 10.2627.2625 on XP Pro

They are in your autocompletion cache (*.NK2 file). 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. To
clear the entire cache, follow the instructions here:

Thanks for that but what is the criteria to get a name
into the cache? Do email addresses I receive
automatically go in or only those I reply or send to?
