Clearing autocomplete cache?

Dr Zoidberg

As you know , outlook has the option to autocomplete the address fields so
that if you type the first couple of characters of an email address it will
suggest all the known email addresses that begin with those characters.

I know you can turn this feature off entirely , but is there any way of
leaving it on but clearing the list of stored email addresses , either by
resetting the list or manually editing it

We have a couple of users who would benefit from this.
One person is using a machine where a few mistyped email addresses have been
stored so they are always offered the version of the address including the
typo as a choice.

The other is a user who is too thick to check she has picked the correct
name and keeps sending personal emails intended for her daughter to a
business contact with the same first name.

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:
