Outlook Oops
January 23, 2009 – 18:13Recently I took the opportunity to fire a contractor. His email address was very close to another address that I basically replaced him with.
Outlook, being the helpful application that it is, “suggests” an address as you start typing. This, of course, is NOT good when that address is the one that you don’t want to use at all, ever again. This is an especially useful feature that I do use a lot, due to the fact that I use this notebook in tablet mode a lot.
I removed the address from the address book. It still shows up. I tried everything, and finally, using the tried and true method of trying EVERYTHING, I started typing the address, the tip address list appeared, i moved the focus on to the bad addy, and hit the delete key.
OMG! It actually deleted that email address from that list. I don’t think this is really called auto complete, but it has the same function.
Thought it was a good find.
