How can I remove invalid addressed used for autofill of To:

If an invalid email address for To:, Thunderbird rejects the email BUT retains the invalid address and uses it as an autofill alternative forever. This is but one of many instances when an invalid address can be presented as an autofill choice.

Where are these addresses stored?

Is there any way to access a listing of autofill addresses and edit them to delete the invalid entries?

- exit thunderbird - locate the global index file in profile and delete it - restart thunderbird and it will recreate the file

Look in Collected Addresses where most obsolete addresses are stored.

David: Your suggestion reads like 'Delete All, start again from scratch", but what is does is moot, there is no Global Index file in my \data\profiles\ folder.

SFHowes: My Collected Addresses only has three entries in it, and they are not obsolete.
