old email addresses

Thank you for updating me HA.111

Here is the step to remove that old email address.

Start typing an email address into the “To” field. As soon as you see the old email address being recommended as one of the potential candidates, use the down arrow key to scroll through the list of suggestions. Once you highlight the old email address, type the delete key. In many cases, this will actually remove the entry not only from the current list of suggestions but from future suggestions as well. You may even find that as you mouse over the drop-down list the highlighted item will have an “x” to explicitly allow you to delete it.

Just do this step and your good to go.

Continue to have an escellent day HA.111

How do I get Outlook 2010 to export the correct address book

I have three options listed in Outlook when I try to export a CSV contact list from the address book.. Myself, another person, and the 'Outlook Data File'. I am the default person.

When you open the address book, the choice that has the current contacts is my name-contacts. When you go to the export file section, it is called suggested contacts. If I export this file and open it in excel, it shows names and street addresses with no email address listed. There are also names in the file that are no longer in my address book.

How do I get the address book to export the current list from my address book, and how do I get the excel file to show the email address?

 

Changing email address gives MSO Outlook problem

I am changing my normal email address from one I've had for many years from "mail.com" to a gmail address. I use MSO Outlook 2010 on my PC to handle my emails, both for my main email address and other, lesser used ones. Each address has a different Outlook .PST file. The main one, and the one for my current normal email address, being outlook.pst. I use POP email.

When I've changed to using my gmail address I want to keep using outlook.pst for my main email.

For, hopefully, ease of understanding, let's assume these are the email addresses:-

email-1 is my old normal address
email-2 is my new gmail address.

My plan has been to create another .pst file, email-1.pst, and setting it to handle newly received email for email-1.

Change the account details for outlook.pst to the email-2 account, both the normal details and the additional details.

This is working fine in that new email-1 emails go into the Inbox in email-1.pst, and emails sent from there are fine; new email-2 emails go into the Inbox in outlook.pst, and emails sent from that account are - almost - fine.

And there's the rub.

An email sent from email-2 goes out apparently ok, and looks ok to my son, a gmail user.

However if I send an email to myself from the email-1 account, Outlook shows in the From info

my_name <L: [email protected]>; on behalf of; my_name <L: [email protected]>

Looking at the email properties I see

Sender: my_name <L: [email protected]>
From: my_name <L: [email protected]>
X-Google-Original-From: "my_name" <L: [email protected]>
Reply-To: <L: [email protected]>

So despite me choosing the correct From email in the drop-down list it still uses the old email address in the From data.

Thoughts on what I've done wrong would be most welcome.

TIA
