This was not happening before last week when my computer crashed and
was fixed. How do I get Outlook to let me send my email without
saving the contact? My contacts files will become huge if I have to
save the email address of every single person I write to.
You can enter whatever e-mail address you want in the To, Cc, and Bcc
fields displayed in the new-mail editor window. You do not have to save
these e-mail addresses as contact records in your address book.
However, they will get saved in your nickname cache file (.nk2) but why
would you care that they got cached? The cache is only to make it
convenient to lookup a previously entered e-mail string when you are
entering it again later. You could delete the .nk2 file and let it
rebuild but that still has nothing to do with your claimed problem.
You never bothered to identify WHICH version of Outlook that you have.
The later versions have an option to save the e-mail addresses of those
to whom you write e-mails in your contact records or into a safe senders
whitelist. So just disable that option if you don't want everyone to
whom you write e-mails to get a contact record added for them.
--- Posting Hints ---
ALWAYS REVIEW your message before submitting it. You want someone OTHER
than yourself to understand your post. Also remember that no one here
is looking over your shoulder to see at what you are pointing. If you
don't well explain your situation by providing the DETAILS that you
already know, don't expect others to know what is your situation.
Explain YOUR computing environment and just what actions you take to
reproduce the problem.
Often you get just one chance per potential respondent to elicit a reply
from them. If they skip your post because you gave them nothing to go
on (no details, no versions, no OS, no context) then they will usually
move on to the next post and never return to yours.

When using a webnews-for-dummies interface (e.g., Microsoft's
Communities, Google Groups, or a leech site using a forum-to-Usenet
proxy), those are gateways to Usenet. Despite the pretense of a forum,
you are participating in a newsgroup (aka Usenet).
