Resetting the windows mail completion cache

I entered an email address in contacts. I mistyped the information and
deleted the contact and then entered the correct information. Now when I add
the nickname, the error email address shows along with the correct one. I
think I need to either reset the completion cache or nickname, but cannot
find how to do that.
Thanks.

Re: Resetting the windows mail completion cache

It's stored in the registry. It only 'remembers' a maximum of 29
recently used addresses, so eventually the incorrect one will
drop off the remembered list.

Here is how I fixed this same problem.

Open regedit and navigate to "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Mail\Recently Used Addresses" and delete the "Recently Used Addresses" folder. Doing this will reset the cache of addresses.

Re: Resetting the windows mail completion cache

What does that have to do with the subject title of this thread?
Please start a new tread for each new issue.
Also include the complete error message.
