I am wondering if there is a way to remove an email address from the history
of the "to:" button in Outlook. What I mean is this.....when you start a new
message and type a letter in the to: text box, it will give you a list of
people that you may have sent to previously that start with that letter.
There may be some old addresses that are no longer valid. Is there a way to
get those old addresses deleted, so that they are no longer "remembered" for
future messages?

Sure. When the list pops up, use the down arrow key to highlight the
address you don't want, then press Delete.

When you have the drop down list displayed simply scroll to the item you
wish to delete and hit the Delete key.
