    changing email address in contacts

    i've deleted an address in my contacts, and replaced it with another (same
    name). When i go to email them the address automatically comes up and is
    still the old one that i deleted. When i go and look at my contacts list, it
    is the new address that is showing. Did i miss a step?

    The auto-complete (when you type in a name) doesn't work well. And it only
    works for the last 29 names you enter.
    Just click on the To: button, and select your recipient.

    The AutoComplete name comes from a different place than your contacts
    folder. It's stored in the Registry and will rotate out after 29 different
    recipients.
