clearing Automatic Naming in the 'To' field

[Dan]

In Outlook, when you click on the 'To' field and start
typing the email address, a drop-down list appears to
choose a name or email to complete the address (if the
address has been used before) or the line will
automatically complete if only one matching name has been
used before. Sometimes email addresses change, so an
option being presented on the line or in the drop-down
list may no longer be valid. How do I clear the list of
old names or email addresses that are no longer valid
addresses. I know I can turn off automatic naming in the
advanced e-mail options but I don't want to do that -
just clear the ones that aren't good any more.

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:
