I apologize for the late response. Let us try the following steps to check if this setting contributes to the issue:

 

1. Sign in to your account using this link.
2. Click the Cog icon then choose More mail settings
3. Under Customizing Outlook, select Advanced privacy settings
4. Choose Only suggest people in my contact list under Auto-complete suggestions
5. Click Save

RoseKatrina:

Please go back and read my original post.  While you are at it, please read ALL of the responses in this thread.

You will notice that I said this in my original post:

I do have this option enabled:  Give suggestions for anyone I've communicated with (contacts and non-contacts) and I want to keep that option enabled. I realize that I could select this option:Only suggest people in my contact list, and the mis-spelled address would not appear in the auto-complete list .... but I want the auto-complete function to give suggestions from both contacts and non-contacts.

I appreciate your response, but by not reading my original post, and not reading ALL of the responses in this thread you have wasted your time, and you have wasted my time (by suggesting that I select the option to Only suggest people in my contact list).

Also, by reading ALL of the posts in this thread, you will clearly see that I do not have a problem deleting items from my contact list. The problem I am having is deleting "remembered" email addresses that are not in my contact list but are placed into the auto-suggest list.

Your customers need a way to manage (add, delete, change) entries in the auto-suggest list.

Please re-read the last sentence again before responding. I'll say it again ....

THE PROBLEM IS THAT THERE IS NO WAY TO MANAGE ENTRIES IN THE AUTO-SUGGEST LIST.

This problem exists in different operating systems (Windows 7, Vista, XP), and in different browsers (Firefox, IE), and on different computers.

The problem is NOT with the OS, NOT with the browser, and NOT associated with a specific computer. The problem is global in Hotmail/Outlook, and Microsoft needs to fix the problem.

I know that you do not work for Microsoft ... so I am just asking you to forward my request to the Outlook development team and ask if they have any intention of fixing this problem ... or should I just consider using one of your competitor's email services (Google, Yahoo, etc).

IS THIS PROBLEM GOING TO BE FIXED IN THE NEAR FUTURE?????

Thank you.

It's been almost THREE MONTHS since my original post, and I am still waiting for this issue to be fixed.

Can you ping the product team and ask for status on whether or not this issue will be fixed?

We will send your feature request to our product team but there is no assurance that they will respond.

Thank you!!!

Hi,

We will send your feature request to our product team but there is no assurance that they will respond. Your best option is the feedback forum as they will scrub all the feature request and if there are considerable amount of request with a certain feature, they will add it up on their future development of the product.

Thank you
