Outlook Address Cache
Does anyone know how to clear the address book cache in Outlook 2003? To explain, when I go to my "To" lines and begin typing a name, a list auto populates with people who's email addresses begin with that particular letter combination. So, I type M in the window and 15 "M" names come up. The problem is that I've moved to a new company and a new exchange server. My address book does not have any of the names that are coming up but they were people from my previous company. For whatever reason, these names are still coming up. I've cleaned out all of the old mailbox files from docs & settingslocal settingsmicrosoftoutlook... My adderss book is correct but these names still come up. Couldn't find anything in registry. Any ideas.

i Thought — OUtlook.NK2 —-was vital
i would consult with MS> before deleting that file but B00M3R could be correct
Thanks! I didn’t know you could delete entries from the popup. That worked perfectly! Thanks for the advice.
