Outlook 2003 - clearing email address history

[madman045]

Can anyone tell me how to delete one or more entries stored in outlook's history?

I.E when you start typing an address, it brings up suggestions from previously used addresses.

Thanks

resetting the profile works for me, though a quick google reveals http://www.outlookpower.com/issues/i...001584001.html

When you start typing the person's email address, you will see it pop up it's suggestion for auto-complete. Just press the delete (DEL) key on your keyboard. The entry won't be suggested again, until the next time you send a message to it.

If more than one suggestion is listed, you can use the up/down arrow keys on your keyboard to highlight the one you want to remove from the suggestion list. Then press DEL.

Again, this removes the suggestion, but doesn't disable the auto-complete feature from adding it back into it's suggestion database at a later time if you send an email to that person again. To clear all entries and disable the feature completely, see the link that splash provided. There may be other methods as well, but none come to mind.

I use outlook 2003 and i had the email addresses saved for quick reference. Now the addresses are all gone. I need the email addresses for quick reference when i send an email.
Can anyone please tell me how to re add those email addresses?

The email addresses you see are purely historic and i would not recommend being reliant on them, put everyone you email on a regular basis in your contacts, usually they disappear due to either a new outlook profile or an office update.
