How do I delete remembered (cached) email addresses?

There are two different ways that you can delete the saved/cached versions of email addresses. It is possible to delete these entries individually or delete the whole repository. You may have to do the below if:

• you have updated a contacts email address in your contacts
• a UniSA staff member has had a change in name
  NOTE: By default an alias is added to staff accounts, so in this instance your email will still reach its destination, but their display name will be the old name
• you regularly email someone, but have not added them to your contacts 

Delete Individually

1. In a new email start typing the address you wish to delete
2. Outlook will pre-empt options underneath
3. Hover mouse over desired address and click delete option to the right
   

Delete Entire Nickname Cache

WARNING

NOTE:  When deleting your entire nickname cache this will delete all suggested email addresses being held. This includes email addresses that you may use that are not in your contacts. If you have delegated authority to other mailboxes, be cautious as this could impact those also. It is recommended to proceed with caution.
