Mail: Emptying autocompletion cache of email addresses
Why hello there!
As far as I can tell, Mail autocompletes email addresses not only according to the contents of your Address Book, but also according to the history of addresses to which you've sent mail.
The problem arises when person A, whom I have emailed frequently in the past and whose address already exists in my Address Book, changes his email address.
Now, however, when I email that person, autocomplete completes the wrong address (I always choose the primary selection without looking first) given that I had already emailed that person so many times to his old address.
Is there a way to clear this cache?
Nius.

You're welcome!
Thanks for taking the time to produce that image and provide that solution.
Or at the very least to paste it if it is not yours
some emails, whenever i try to open them, the whole programme crashes. and i can't delete them nor check any other email in my inbox
it crashes, and whenever i open the application again, it crashes again.
That seems like a different issue. You may wish to start another thread with an appropriate subject heading.
Also, if possible, you should provide as many details as you can about the problem. Although it does seem as if there's not much to say in your particular case
