I previously mis-spelled an email address when sending a message .... and now, that mis-spelled address is displayed in the auto-complete list each time I begin to type the correct email address.
This is NOT an issue with my contact list ... I do not have a contact defined for this address.
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.
What I am looking for is the ability to delete one entry from the non-contact addresses that are maintained by the auto-complete feature. Can this be done in Outlook.com??

Hi,
We're sorry for the inconvenience. This is to inform you that your issue is still under investigation. Our escalation group is still working on this. We will notify you as soon as there's an update.
Your patience is highly appreciated.
Thank you
Our Escalation group is still investigating on your issue and we will notify you as soon as there's an update.
Forum Moderators,
This issue is getting more and more convoluted.
In response to your last post, I can only ask this new question:
WILL YOUR ESCALATION GROUP RESPOND SOMETIME IN 2013 WITH A STATEMENT AS TO WHETHER OR NOT MY ORIGINAL ISSUE WILL BE FIXED IN 2013?
I'm sure you can see where this is going ....
You will respond that your management is investigating whether or not your Escalation group will respond in 2013 with a statement as to whether my issue will be resolved in 2013.
Then, I will respond and ask if your management will respond sometime in 2013 as to whether or not your escalation group will respond in 2013 with a statement as to whether the issue will be fixed in 2013.
This can go on forever.
Please end it by answering my original question: WILL THE ISSUE (which is clearly a bug) THAT I DESCRIBED BE FIXED SOMETIME IN 2013?
This is a simple question. Microsoft has project plans for every release of Outlook. All I am asking you to do is have someone with the proper authority at Microsoft look through those project plans and state whether or not a fix for the bug I reported is scheduled for implementation sometime in 2013.
Currently, there is no way to manage/clean-up mistakes in the auto-complete list. This is either a bug or a serious design flaw. I am asking a simple question: will this bug/design flaw be fixed in 2013?????
Hi langware,
I apologize for the delay of our response.
Our Escalation group is still investigating on your issue and we will notify you as soon as there's an update.
Thank you.
I am still waiting for someone to answer this question:
WILL THE ISSUE I DESCRIBED BE FIXED SOMETIME IN 2013?
RoseKatrina_H,
You stated this: *"I have provided the steps to enable Only suggest people in my contact list so that you may remove the misspelled address under Auto-complete suggestions."*As I have explained, the misspelled address IS NOT associated with anyone in my contact list. So, if I follow your suggestion, and enable Only suggest people in my contact list, then the misspelled address (which is NOT associated with anyone in my contact list) will no longer be auto-suggested ....... however, your suggestion (to enable Only suggest people in my contact list) would NOT allow me to remove/change the misspelled address!!!!
Again, as I stated, I do not want to enable Only suggest people in my contact listbecause I do not want to restrict the auto-suggested addresses to only those associated with my contacts.
So, your suggestion to enable Only suggest people in my contact listdoes not help me!!!!
Finally, please explain how resetting my browser's settings to their default values would miraculously allow me to manage (add, delete, change) entries in the auto-suggest list???????
I would like the ability to manage (add, delete, change) entries in the auto-suggest list. Hotmail and outlook.com do not appear to have this function. I have been told that a request to implement this function has been forwarded to the Outlook developers.
I would like to know if this function will be implemented sometime in 2013.
I know that YOU cannot answer this question. Please ask a Microsoft employee on the Outlook Project Team to have the courtesy to provide an answer. And please do not insult me by responding that the Outlook Project Team cannot answer this question. The contents of releases are planned out months in advance. So, the Outlook Project Manager knows exactly what will be included in each new release of Outlook. I would just like to know if the feature I am requesting will be implemented sometime in 2013.
