How do you delete an invalid email address from the auto fill?

Ian Kesler

I only need to delete a few auto fill emails, not the whole thing.
Is there a way to delete them even though they are not listed in the
specific contact... Due to misspelling when entered once or something like
that? I cannot figure it out and it is causing me to occasionally send an
email to the wrong address.
Thanks

If the address is not in your Address Book then it's in the Most Recently
Used (Autofil list).

Entourage X and 2004: To clear ALL there is a preference in Mail & Compose: Clear List button. There is also an option in the preferences to
disable this feature all together.

Both versions: To clear a single address, add it exactly like the one that
is remembered to your address book and mark it as Junk (or assign category
Junk). You can just delete the address, but if you receive it again it will
just be added back. Marking as junk will permanently remove it from the
AutoComplete list.

In Entourage, it is called the "recently used address list". Here's the Help
file instructions to delete a single entry.
1. Click Mail, and then click New
2. In the To box, type the first few letters of the address, and then click
the address you want to delete on the pop-up menu. (this puts it into the to
field)
3. Hold down Control, click the address, and then click Add To Address Book
