When you start typing an email address while sending an email in your email client, it will provide you with email address suggestions based on people you've sent emails to in the past. Over time, email address suggestions can build up, especially if you email lots of people once and then never email them again. Delete email address suggestions by deleting them from Outlook's autocomplete list or removing the automatically added addresses from Gmail or Mozilla Thunderbird's contacts.

Click "New Email" at the top, left corner of the Microsoft Outlook window.
Start typing an email address into the "To" box in the "New Email" window.

Delete the selected email address suggestion by pressing "Delete."
