The type ahead functionality list email addresses which are not lised in my address books. It seems once I have used a email address it remembers this and makes it part of my address book. This means once I have used a wrong email address this address keeps popping up among the correct address(es). How can I “kill” this functinality or remove these addresses from my type-ahead list.
Subject: Recent Contacts
Check your Recent Contacts view in your Contact application. This new feature remembers addresses of people that you have contacted, and type-ahead uses this list along with your contact to generate the drop-down.

Hi Erick,
The Recent Contacts are a new feature to the 8.x Client Codestream. One thing to note is that you can turn this functionality off via File–>Preferences–>Contacts… (That is, assuming you are using the Standard Client). I have included Technote 1267115 below, which better outlines that information

There are a few things to Note regarding Recent Contacts.
- In Notes 8.0.0, there is no easy way to delete the Recent Contacts like you can in 8.0.1 and 8.0.2. If you would like to Reset the contents of the Recent Contacts view in Notes 8, you can follow Technote 1265985 below:

If you use DWA, note that Recent Contacts do not synchronize with your Contacts. Technote 1285959 outlines this information and states that Notes is working as Designed.

Lastly, if you would like to move an Address from your Recent Contacts into your Contacts view, you can follow Technote 1291542 below. This can be useful if you would like certain Contacts that are found in your Recent Contacts to synch up for use with DWA.

I have tested and used Recent Contacts quite a bit, so please do not hesitate to respond with any additional questions Erick - I am more than happy to help!
