Outlook 2003 Misc - Disable E-Mail Address Autocomplete

SUMMARY: Keep Outlook 2003 from automatically completing e-mail addresses.

When you compose mail with Outlook 2003, whenever you start typing names in the To, CC, or BCC fields, Outlook 2003 will try to automatically complete the name based off of names or e-mail addresses to whom you have previously sent e-mail. While some people like this feature in that it can theoretically save typing, others find it an annoyance. If desired, you can disable this autocomplete feature:

1. Click "Tools", selecting "Options".
2. When the "Options" multi-tabbed dialog box appears, click the "Preferences" tab.
3. Click "E-Mail Options".
4. When the "Advanced E-Mail Options" dialog appears, uncheck "Suggest names while completing To, CC, and Bcc fields".
5. Click "OK" to close the dialog box.
