Remove certain auto-complete email addresses in Lotus Notes?

Question

How do I remove certain entries that are auto-completed in the To field in Lotus Notes 8.5?

Answer 1

If it is pulling the auto-complete from the address books, you have to either remove or hide the entry in the address book.

If it is pulling it from "Recent Contacts", then you need to either delete the entry from the "Recent Contacts" view, or turn off recent contacts completely. (File>Preferences>Contacts, then SELECT "Do not automatically add names to the Recent Contacts view".)

Answer 2

I had a similar problem, I had email address from friends that changed jobs, and I needed to remove the old email addresses because they were invalid.

You need to update your Recent Contacts list to delete the invalid email addresses.

1. Open your Contacts database; select Recent Contacts in the left-hand navigation pane.
2. Select the contact you want to delete, and press the delete key.
3. Select Trash in the navigation pane at left, and click Empty Trash in the action bar above the message list.

Please ensure that you are not using the Lotus notes 'light' version. Your PC should have both installed. These options are only available in the full version.
