When you write and email and you press a key all the addresses starting with that letter appear. How can you edit those addresses that appear.. Is it possible?

Thanks for all your efforts however non of the suggestions have corrected the problem..
Some of the email addresses that come up are not even in my address book.
Here is the right answer.
The dropdown list does not look at your contacts list. It only views previously entered email addresses. Dont believe me? Open mail and enter an address from your contacts list rarely or never used. It wont show up.
I just went thru the same thing a week or so ago.
Copy and paste this command into the Start/Run box and hit enter or click OK.
cmd /k reg delete "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows Mail\Recently Used Addresses" /f

Here is the Microsoft statement if you are uncomfortable with mine. :)

The command will delete all the items from the dropdown even ones you may want to keep but there is no other way. You will get the preferred ones back as you use your email.
Trying to delete them in the list does not work.
