How to clear the email auto-complete entries in Windows Mail


Question: 

When we start typing a To: address, Windows Mail provides a list of all previously used addresses. But some of the addresses (which are not in address book) we don't want there any more. How can we now get rid of those entries that we no longer want?




Answer

Windows Mail stores the list of recently used mail addresses in the following registry location:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows Mail \ Recently Used Addresses

Each mail address is stored in a separate binary value (value names start with a, b, c ... and so forth), in the right pane of the above key.

Deleting a particular entry (Please take registry backup before deleting keys).

Click Start, type regedit.exe and press {Enter}. In the Registry Editor window, navigate to the above registry key. To delete a particular mail address, you need to double-click each binary value to see the mail address (as in the figure below:)

Once you spot the correct entry, right-click on the corresponding value and choose Delete

Deleting all the email auto-complete entries

To clear all the email auto-complete entries, you may delete the Recently Used Addresses key itself. Use these steps:


Click Start, type the following command and press {Enter}


cmd /k reg delete "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows Mail\Recently Used Addresses" /f
Type EXIT to close the Command Prompt window.
