How do I get rid of them for good? I rely pretty heavily on Outlook's (2007) AutoComplete feature. Due to recent change of company ownership, we all have new email addresses (new format and domain). So, when I start an email to Jack Smith, I am getting AutoComplete suggestions for jacksmith@oldcompany.com <em>and </em>jack.smith@newcompany.com. Per Microsoft's instructions, when the drop-down list showing the suggestions pops up, I should highlight jacksmith@oldcompany.com and press delete. This works for the current login session. The next day/login, jacksmith@oldcompany.com shows up in the AutoComplete list again. I understand that the NK2 file gets populated based upon emails I send, but I am not sending new emails to these old addresses, so I don't see how they are being added back in. Any ideas? tag:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.96917 Fri, 18 Jul 2008 10:25:15 -0800 autocomplete NK2 outlook tdischino http://ask.metafilter.com/82936/How%2Dto%2Drestore%2Dautocomplete%2Din%2DOutlook Is there a way, in Outlook 2003, to populate the auto-complete field from addresses culled in the Exchange mailbox? Or otherwise recapture addresses and stick them in auto-complete? I know auto-complete is not something to rely on, but I have a user who "added contacts" via auto-complete. So when I gave him a new laptop and kept all the data and contacts, I excluded the nk2 file (I didn't know people relied on auto-complete to add contacts and it is not backed up on the computer).<br> <br> Anyway he's livid now that he has to "add contacts" again and refuses to add it any other way but through auto-complete. Isn't there a way to restore auto-complete by going through messages in a PST and picking out e-mail addresses? User has ~3GB of messages. Any quick and dirty way will work. tag:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.82936 Wed, 06 Feb 2008 10:09:59 -0800 autocomplete nk2 outlook geoff.
