I have updated a contact's email address but the computer still supplies the
old address for this contact. How can I remove the old address? (Only the new
address appears for that contact in the address book.)

When I am typing the contact's name in the "To" box, it finishes with the old
email address instead of the new one. The old one is like a ghost that keeps
haunting. How can I get rid of it?

and press delete.
