Entourage - deleting unwanted contacts

Re: Entourage - deleting unwanted contacts

With entourage open and creating a new mail message, Entrourage automatically takes me to the "type name or address here" window, where I then would insert my person of choice from my address book. Typing just one letter of the alphabet gives me a short cut to my address book, but there are a bunch of contacts that I've never seen before. How do I delete these unwanted contacts? They don't appear the address book section?

Thank you in advance, Bmode.

I beleive what you nedd to do is in Preferences>Address Book>Messages (uncheck the first two)

I think Entourage saves addresses of previous senders/recipients automatically. It's not from the Address Book, since I don't use the Entourage address book and I still have the same thing happen. I tried deleting the Sent Items, Trash, and unneeded messages in the Inbox, and this behavior continued. I am not sure if there is a way to disable this.

Try: Mail & News Preferences> Compose .
At the bottom, there's an option for displaying recent addresses, with a button for clearing the list. That should get rid of those addresses you don't recognize.

I had looked and looked for a way to get rid of some WRONG or UNWANTED addresses that kept popping up. You have provided the solution. I appreciate the information, Ugimom, and...

I suppose it works for Office v.X. Unfortunately, there is no such option in Office 2001. Oh well, I'll bear with it until I switch to OS X (sometime in the next couple weeks) then I'll be using Mail.app and free of M$.

Mail.app works perfectly fine for me. Entourage is bloated, like a lot of the things MS makes.

Upgrade to OS X already! The difference is night and day, trust me, just try and multi-task when you get there...you won't believe the difference!

I know. I've been using Panther on my other machine for months. My G3 PB is going to be running Panther as soon as I get my new stick of RAM and I find out if the driver for my wireless card works with Panther.

OT but anyone know if Wireless Driver (http://wirelessdriver.sourceforge.net/) works with Panther? It's an Orinoco Gold on a Lombard 333.
