If you have an old address that is no longer valid but still appears when you
start typing in an email address....how do you get rid of the the old email
address so that it doesn't list as one of the auto-completes?

I've already deleted him from my contact list. But when I start typing out
anything that starts with the same letters it still comes up.

No, when you are typing the address and it appears in the list, use the
arrow key to select it and then press delete.
