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:

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
