How can I delete the cache for my address auto fill?

P

production

When I start to type an address in the To: field of a new email, Entourage
automatically fills in the address. My problem is that there are a few
addresses that have been changed and I end up sending the email to the wrong
address. How do I clear that cache?

Any help would be appreciated.

You can clear the cache or disable the feature in the Mail and News
preferences, but only if you use Entourage X. There is no way to clear the
cache in in the MacOS 9 version.

Hope this helps,

In Entourage X there is an option in the preferences to clear this address
Cache (Mail & News prefs; Compose tab). You can also (in the same place)
turn off the display of these addresses (but still keep the Œauto complete¹
of names in your address book).

In both Entourage v9 and in vX individual items can be removed by adding an
entry to the address book that EXACTLY matches the rogue entry in the
history list and then deleting it.


Alternatively, just wait a few days/weeks. The remembered addresses are
prioritised by age & frequency and the list is limited to a maximum of 200,
so eventually your mistakes will fall out at the bottom.
