Hi Scott,

I know you can rebuild a mailbox database,

 Can you not do the same thing with an address book database?

 I can't say I've looked but possibly a feature like that.

Subject: question about a scrambled address book like effect in Apple mail

Hi, let me describe this problem as best I can.

I have Apple mail running under the OS10.1 beta presently but this problem has 
existed to one degree or another since at least IOS 9 including the latest El 
Cap.

When entering in an address there’s an auto complete feature so for example if 
I start to type mac the mac visionaries list appears and completes.  This is 
fine.  However, I’ve had this on for years between versions as well as several 
address books which in general seem to be synchronizing ok.  The problem is if 
I write an address it might come up with the entirely wrong rewrite.  I might 
put in mikespizza and bobs-BurgerTown will appear in the field.  Seems like 
there’s either to much data and it’s making crazy relationships or the database 
needs a refresh.   This problem seems unique to Apple mail.  Is there a way to 
clear that autocompletion database?  If it’s not that simple how do I find the 
source of the conflicts?

Thanks in advance

Scott
