Phantom e-mail addresses

I

incognito

I just discovered two e-mail addresses listed as
Rudolf Great <[email protected]>
Rudolf Loans <[email protected]>
Click to expand...
These are not in my Addressbook nor in my address list in Entourage.
Interestingly they show up when I try to send mail to myself by entering
Œrud...¹ into the To: address window in Entourage (My first name is Rudolf).
Where are such names stored (other than in Addressbook or Entourage) and can
anybody give me a hint where these could possibly come from?
All help is appreciated!

In Entourage X and 2004 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.

In entourage 2004, hitting the 'junk' button in the toolbar will remove the
address of that message from the cache as well.


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.

Thank you, Mr. Wainwright. Your suggestion solved the mystery.
