When you type someone's first name into the TO: box, it autocompletes the email address and stuff for you. Well, what if the person's not in your contact list anymore and you don't want it to complete that specific name for you. Can you change that? Like if I had two Sheryl A. in my addy book before, but then I deleted her and I put a new Sheryl B. in there... it still autocompletes Sheryl A.

when the name pops up, just scroll down to the one you don't want anymore and press "delete"

It should bring up both selections of Sheryl A. and Sheryl B. and allow you to select between the two. If it still brings up Sheryl A., make sure that one is highlighted and then just hit Delete and it won't show up unless you add Sheryl A. to your contacts again.

Edit: Too slow. Now confirming what Kai920 already said. :)
