Autocorrect in text messaging probably comes to mind. But there is also the autocomplete function in Apple\u2019s mail app. When you start typing an address in the \u201cto\u201d line of an email, the app checks your address book and will autocomplete it for you if it begins with the first letters of a name that is already there. This can be good, but it can also lead to further problems.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Autocomplete embarrassments<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Before sending your email, the simplest thing to do is to check the \u201cto\u201d field. Make sure it is addressed to the person you wish. The problem is that you probably have a lot more people in your address book than you realize. Because of this, the autocomplete may pull up people you rarely talk to. This is an issue Brian Sawyer discusses in the <a href=\"http:\/\/kbit.co\/apple-autocomplete-removal\">O\u2019Reilly Answers<\/a> website. This can lead you to send important work emails to the wrong person. You might not even realize this as the person probably won\u2019t respond.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Removing autocomplete email addresses<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Luckily, if you have pinpointed what emails are often being autocompleted, you can eliminate them if you would like. Here is how: In Mail, click the \u201cWindow\u201d tab. After selecting \u201cPrevious Recipients,\u201d search for the email address that you want to remove. Highlight it and click \u201cRemove From List.\u201d It\u2019s that easy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Monitoring is key<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Of course, once you remove an address, there\u2019s no guarantee that it won\u2019t eventually return to your address book. Something like collaborating with others through Google Docs can fill your address book with personal, rather then business, email addresses. So if you wish to truly avoid any email mix-ups in the future, you will have to frequently monitor your address book for any email addresses that don\u2019t belong.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Some programs that were developed to make your life simpler can actually make it more embarrassing.
