Windows 10: Outlook 2016 How to clear old names when enterinh email address

Hi there

Is there a Cache or some command that can clear the memory or wherever Outlook stores the email addresses (NOT THE ADDRESS BOOK OR CONTACTS !!!).

For example if you have send an email to say L: dogsdinners@anywhere.com and later you want to send an email to L: donaldduck@disbey.com after you've typed in the ist 2 letters you get some of the other entries starting with do including the one you want to get rid of.

Note these are NOT the ones stored in contacts or address book. I can't find any setting to remove / clear these.

Cheers

Email sent from Windows 10 Mail shows senders email address, not name, in recipient 'From' column

Hi there

I've just tried to start using Windows 10 Mail and set up a new account exactly as it is on my very old Outlook 2003 client. It works in that emails are sent and received. I have also set the email settings so that the 'Send messages using this name' is
correct as my name, not my email.

However, whenever I send a message, either to say Outlook (cloud) or another email address on the old Outlook 2003 client, the 'From' is now showing the email address it's sent from instead of the name of the person sending it.

If I switch back to the old Outlook 2003 client and do the same emails ( to Outlook cloud and to another account on Outlook 2003), the name of the sender is correctly displayed in the recipient 'From' column and not the email address.

Anybody have any ideas on this?

Thanks

 

microsoft sign in outlook.com

When I try to sign in to my Microsoft/outlook.com to (for example) change password the default name is an old email address xxx.sky.com not my outlook xxx.outlook.com. I have to "Sign in with a different Microsoft account" to sign in. How to I change it
to my real outlook name to appear on the sign in page ?

 

You can just click on the "X" when they appear.

I (failed to) send a message to "zzz@zzzz.zzz" and it was added to the auto-complete list (not contacts). You can delete this address by clicking on the X when it appears composing a new message.





Is that what you mean?

There are instructions for copying the auto-complete list here Import or copy the Auto-Complete List to another computer - Outlook but I don't know about editing it.
