When I start a new email and type in the first few letters of a
recipient name or email address, I am given a helpful list of
candidate addresses. However, the email addresses of one acquaintance
in this list needs to be corrected. How can I do this? I tried
looking in the address book, but none of the lists seem to contain
this contact.

I am using Outlook 2003 on Windows XP.

The autocompletion cache has nothing to do with your Contacts. It is simply
a cache of your prior recipients.
Remove individual addresses from the autocompletion cache by highlighting
the entry when presented in the suggested names list (use your arrow key to
migrate to the entry) and then hitting your Delete key before you tab out of
the field.
To clear the entire cache, follow the instructions here:

Duh. Sometimes, the obvious is harder to see than the nonobvious.

Thanks, Russ.
