When I start to type in a recipient's name Thunderbird proposes email addresses, some of which are outdated and I'd like to remove those.

Stupid Thunderbird. Details. I start to type in a person's name I want to send an email to. Thunderbird pick an email address. In some cases that email address is no longer valid but it still pops up as the first choice (and I end up sending off a message that bounces). I've deleted those invalid addresses from my address book, but Thunderbird still puts them in. Tell me how to delete them.

Find them in your address books and delete them. Thunderbird get the suggestions from one of your address books. You have at least two books by default. The personal and the Collected books.
