How To Remove Recipient Cache in Outlook Contacts Search or How to clear Outlook recipient cache

Back up your contacts and stream-autocomplete beforehand! 

• Close Outlook
• Download this tool http://mfcmapi.codeplex.com/ (Purple download button)
• Works best in Internet Explorer. Open it. Click OK
• Click “Session” and then “Logon”
• Select your profile
• Then it will list all of the accounts in the profile. Click on the account having the issue
• Open the Root – Mailbox
• Scroll down to IPM_SUBTREE
• Open “Contacts”
• And right click and delete the “Recipient Cache”
• If it won’t delete, and offers a “Hard delete” this didn’t work for me, so just skip it and then it will work probably.
• Opened Outlook and it was gone. I had to do it on both computers though, the server didn’t update this.
