On the Outlook Options dialog, click Mail. Scroll down to the Send messages section Uncheck Use Auto-Complete List to suggest names (Option) If you wish to delete the list, click the Empty Auto-Complete List button. Click the OK button That option doesn’t seem to exist in Outlook for Mac.  I can go to Preferences/AutoCorrect/Text Completion and turn off Show AutoComplete tip for AutoText and dates, but that doesn’t seem to affect autocomplete for email addresses. Someone asked earlier if I was auto-replying to spam, and no, I am not. Thanks, John ~ Matt
