ROFL!  Yeah, I'm having trouble too.  Maybe that's why the list is so
quiet?

OK, can anyone solve a nagging Outlook problem I'm having?  I'm
totally stumped.

If I want to address an e-mail to a friend, I can just start typing
their name or e-mail, and Outlook will recognize it and give me a list
of potential addressees.  I click on the right one, and the message is
addressed.  This is Good.

The trouble is that once Outlook puts someone down as a potential
addressee, they seem to stay as one forever.  Say I want to send a
message to my good buddy George Bush.  I can type "George" and it will
give me every e-mail address George ever had, which requires me to
remember which one is the right ISP.  It also remembers the one time I
mis-typed and will offer up as a choice "Goerge Bush."  Also awful is
that it remembers every "George" to whom I ever sent an e-mail, so I
have on occasion sent an e-mail to the wrong George, which is *way*
embarrassing.  This is Bad.

So how do I get rid of these unnecessary, erroneous and outdated
default e-mails?

I'm sorry to ask here, but dang it!, I just cannot take this anymore.

Thanks,

Cindy
