Default All 3 email addresses

This post seems to have gotten off track and never answered my question. Why
does Outlook insert all three email address vs. giving me a choice like other
email clients? Its annoying to have all email addresses inserted then have
to take away the ones I don't want to send the email address to, e.g., If I
have a personal address and work address for a contact and this is a personal
email shouldn't I be able to choose the personal email address before
inserting?

Because your autocompletion cache is just a record of the addresses you've
entered as recipient addresses and does not access your Contacts in any way
whatsoever. See this: http://www.ingressor.com/autocompletetips.htm

Outlook only inserts all 3 addresses if you tell it to by using Actions
New Message to Contact. You can easily insert only one address if you want
by using autocompletion, autoresolution, or the Outlook Address Book to
select your recipient or by just typing the address in the To: field. It is
no different than any other email client.

Hi Russ:

You answered my question but you are mis-informed. Thunderbird, Incredimail
and others I've used in the past have a pop-up/dropdown window from within
the client asking which email you want to use. It's very similar to "auto
completion" only nicer. Plus I've seen Apple's email client in action and it
too affords the user an option. Typical Microsoft ... I expect to much from
the Dominate one but must comply if I want use of other powerful software
such as Maximizer

Ciao!

My point is that Outlook provides ample opportunity for you to select which
address you want to use. Most of don't need to be prompted for that.
