How do I remove an obsolete e-mail address of a friend (not a whole account)

People change their provider and get a new e-mail address. From some people I have 3 addresses but 2 are obsolete. I can't remember which ones. So I want to remove the old addresses, not a whole e-mail account. If I send a new e-mail to a friend and I have typed part of my friends name, I don't want to see obsolete addresses as options. I only want to see 1 correct address. If your answer is something like "Go to the Adress Book", please do tell me - exactly - where this Address Book is and how I will be able to edit and save it. I have Thunderbird 31.5.0.

Thank you.

All suggestions come from your address books. You are going to have to find the old addresses and edit or remove then. You have two address books by default. The personal and the collected books. Check them both and any other books you may have created. There is a button to open the address book window.
