Deleting contacts

[dsr]

Hi all

Please help me.... This is driving me absolutely batty!!

I have addresses saved in outlook generally, under no special address book.
I'd like to delete some of those email addresses but cannot find them under
anywhere or anything.
If I start typing the address, the name comes up but the address book is
empty.

Can anyone tell me what I can do to solve this?

Many thanks

Sounds like the addresses are coming from the auto-complete list. When an
address you want to delete shows up in an auto-complete dropdown highlight
it and hit the Delete key

Don't we as humans always look for the more complex answer to things!?
Thanks alot, this has helped me stax!

Are you also able to tell me how to turn the auto-complete off please?

Check here: Tools menu > Options > E-mail Options > Advanced E-mail options >
Uncheck "Suggest names while completing To, Cc, and BCC fields"
