Stupid Outlook 2003 question.

I've searched high and low for this, but can't seem to find the answer.

In Outlook 2003, you can create a contact, and give the contact up to three email addresses labeled e-mail, e-mail 2, and e-mail 3.

I swear to god I remember there being a way, when composing an email to an individual, to choose one of the three email addresses. I thought it was by right-clicking on the name in any of the recipient fields (To: , CC: or BCC:), but I can't seem to figure out how to get it to work.

Anyone know this off the top of their head? I've got a MS Outlook 2k3 book coming down from a torrent in hopes that I can find it in there. I was unable to find it on the MS Office support site.

Thanks in advance.

If you type the (partial) name into the To... box, then click the icon w/ the person and tick mark (next to the contacts icon) in the new message window, it will show you all the matches, including the 2nd, 3rd email addresses.

I've got a similiar nagging issue w/ Outlook 2003. When I start typing a name, the default address that wants to pop up isn't even one that's entered on the Contact, but an older one. Where does Outlook cache this crap or can I reset this somehow?

This lousy shit is cached per application... fun.

There is a cache you can delete, which I could find if you needed it, but really you likely just want to delete this one erroneous entry so (for Outlook):

- Start typing the name.

- When the list appears use the arrow keys to go down to the entry you want to delete

- Press the delete key

This is purely a keyboard operation, there's no way to mouse it =/

Thanks, Zaelath! It was more like 7 bogus entries that have been cached over time. I didn't think to delete them the way I do my Google search terms (the method you descibed).

That did the trick!
