Outlook For Mac Doesn't Remember Email Addresses
Open a new email message and click on the word To, next to where you would type email addresses. Use the dropdown box at the top of the window to select Suggested Contacts (if there is more than one, repeat the procedure for each) Click on the top contact, then shift-click on the last to select all of them.
I’ve been a computer user and worked in the IT industry for 15 years so feel that I know my way around computers a fair bit. But every now and then, I work out how to do something new, and am completely dumb founded at how stupid I have been for not working it out before! Microsoft Outlook has a neat feature where when you enter an email address, it remembers it. Then next time you start typing the same email address or name, it drops down a list of similar email addresses you’ve typed in the past so you can choose one.
When I first saw this I thought it was great and was impressed that they also listed the more user friendly conact name, not just the email address. How wrong I was. Over the years this feature has become a bugbear in my working life, as people I’ve kept in contact with have moved companies and changed email providers etc, so sometimes when I started typing their name in the email field, I get a drop down list with many entries in, all saying the same name, but with no idea which is the correct email address behind the name. Worse, if you ever mis-type an email address, Outlook remembers that too and you’ll be forever prompted to select an email address you know is wrong. You can’t imagine how annoyed I’ve become by this once great feature.
So this morning, I went looking for an answer OMG I’M SO STUPID!!! The solution is shockingly simple and I can’t believe I didn’t think of this myself. In fact I’ve not felt this dim since I accidentally resized my TaskBar to cover half my screen whilst on the phone, and not knowing how I’d done it, I suffered it for a week before finally realising I could simply drag the edge back down! So here’s the answer, prepare to be shocked: When you start to type and the drop down appears, use the cursor keys to move up and down the list to the entry that’s old,. Press the Delete key! See, dumb and dumber huh? I’ve going to find a rock to crawl under and hide the rest of the day away.

I googled, I saw the link to your article and I’ve just read it! Like everyone else, I feel stupid and yet so incredibly happy you posted a solution for this problem! Rock candy xbox 360 controller driver for mac. I have a question that somewhat related, maybe you or someone else here can help. I created a distribution list with all of my colleagues addresses. We have had some staff changes, so I updated and saved the distribution lists. The problem is, when I write a message, the old staff members are still included in the list, and the new staff members don’t appear.
At first, I thought Outlook was remembering the old distribution list, since I used to use the drop down menu. Thanks to you, I know now how to delete a contact from the drop down menu, so I deleted it. I also deleted the distribution list in my Outlook contacts, and created a new one, albeit with the same “name.” I just sent a test email, and UGHHH the old staff members were still included and none of the new ones. Do you know why this is happening? How do I fix it? Should I just give the new distribution list a new name?
Thanks in advance! • 22 September 2009, 8:06 pm. It was driving my crazy. Especially when I had typos!
