Outlook: Grab Addresses Out of Your Auto-Complete History

by Jason Bean on June 1st, 2007

How many addresses do you have in your auto-complete history? How many of those are for people you e-mail regularly but aren’t added into your address book? If you wanted to send an e-mail to everyone you e-mail regularly, in and out of your address book, how would you do it?

If you didn’t know, and I didn’t until I read this post from Jason Powell, there’s a handy little tool that will read your auto-complete file and let you manage those addresses.

A couple minutes of Googling and I landed on a very small free app called NK2.info http://www.nk2.info/

NK2.info is a small utility to view and export the contents of an Outlook auto completion file.
• NK2.info can recover e-mail addresses and names from a corrupted NK2 file!
• Save money - NK2.info is donation based.
• Absolutely no spyware!

It’s a really nifty piece of software.  Run the single .exe file and click the browse button.  The app defaults to where your .NK2 file (it stores your auto complete data) should be located.  Click Open and you are presented with all your auto complete contacts.

Thank you Jason for this little tool. I’m sure plenty of people will appreciate and use it’s features.
