After I send someone a message, their name and email address are automatically saved by Outlook. I can't find how to delete an address though. I do not have them in the address book. Outlook has saved them.

See Smily's message to delete the whole cache

To delete an individual e-mail address, start typing out the first couple characters of the e-mail address, and use the arrow keys to select the e-mail address in question, and then press the delete key.
 
Start typing the name where? It can't be in the address of an email as that just deletes it from the email. Here's what I have. individuals have accumulated email addresses over time. Some are no good any more. Still, when I enter their name, ALL the addresses come up under their name. I don't know which is which address until I look, a tedious task. Why can I not simply delete one or more of several email addresses for the same person? Seems like a no-brainer but, MS is filled with these anomolies.

Thanks for any help.
