what is AutoComplete Addressing?
Outlook 2002 and 2003 come with an addressing feature called AutoComplete, which is turned on by default. AutoComplete remembers addresses you have recently used; when you type a minimum of three characters which match previously used addresses, it will complete the address with a unique match from the list of remembered addresses. These addresses are already resolved, and thus ignore any lookup in the Global Address List (GAL) or your Contacts. Note: When you enter an address in the “From:” field, it is critical that it resolves to the GAL, not to the SMTP address; for example, “Fudd, Elmer” instead of efudd@indiana.edu . If the “From:” field resolves to username@indiana.edu , you will see a permissions error. If you watch as you type the username, and see username@indiana.edu display in the list, highlight it and delete it. This effectively removes it from the list of remembered addresses.
