Why does Outlook display addresses I don't know in AutoComplete?

**Random** · June 20th 06, 01:20 AM posted to microsoft.public.outlook.contacts

In Outlook, I have a lot of email addresses that show up in Autocomplete that
I've never seen before. I'm certain these are not people that I know. Where
are these coming from?

They come from the autocomplete cache, perhaps from mistyped addresses
perhaps? To delete them, use the up/down arrow to select them and press
delete.
